"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!" The alarm goes off as the five teens jump into a battle stance out of panic. The girls were still hanging on to Percival as he looks around for any possible enemy, only to notice the alarm clock ringing loudly as the entire group lets out a sigh of relief. Yang is the first to react as she stomps on the clock, breaking it in pieces. Ruby yawns adorably while Weiss fixes her hair and Blake stretches her back like a cat. It took Percy a few seconds to remember what happened just a few hours ago. He blushes once more and slowly tries to get some distance from the girls, only to fail miserably as they all pull him closer to them by his cloak.

"Whoa!" He lets out as he falls back into the floor, he turns to see Blake holding his glasses and slowly placing them back in his face. Percy stares into her golden eyes, admiring the shinning orbs that are filled with nothing but love towards him; he is almost hypnotized by them as the memory of her losing them comes back into his mind. He feels his heart sink into sadness and guilt as he slowly reaches her cheek with his hand, rubbing it softly as he keeps staring into her eyes while she stares back into his.

Blake smiles as she softly purrs from his loving touch, a blush rushing to her face as she looks into Percival's beautiful blue eyes, she could feel her heart beating faster as she slowly starts to get closer to Percy. She slowly begins to close her eyes as their lips gets closer and closer together, the world was completely gone for the two of them as they could only hear their hearts beating in unison to a loving beat.

"AHEM!" Coughs Weiss snapping Blake and Percy out of their trance. Blake glares at her team as Percy takes a few steps back with a massive category three blush on his face.

Ruby, Yang and Weiss return Blake's glare as Percival takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself, not noticing the sparks flying from the girls. He turns to look at them only to be shiver from the tension that had suddenly formed around the girls "u-um..." he says as the girls turn to look at him "Weren't we supposed to have an initiation today?" He asks as the girls snap out of their anger.

"Oh Crap! We are going to be late!" Panics Ruby as she remembers how angry Glynda was at them last night "Glynda is going to kill us!" She screams as the rest of her team panic as well. Percy looks around for his bags only to notice his weapons lay on the table that they were sleeping in, he figures that Ozpin must have already taken his things to a dorm room. He sighs, not liking to be away from his tools as he puts his weapons on their designated place in his coat.

"CRAP, CRAP, CRAP! SHE IS GOING TO SHAVE OUR HEADS" Yells Yang with tears on her eyes and holding her hair lovingly as she thinks of what Glynda would do to them "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT RUBY!" Weiss yells while blaming Ruby who has tears on her eyes and jumps to Percy's arms to escape Weiss and her rage.

"WHY DOYOU ALWAYS YELL AT ME?!" Cries Ruby while hiding her face on Percy's chest "BECAUSE THIS WAS YOUR IDEA, YOU IDIOT, I TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE REMAINED AWAKE!" Weiss yells again. Percy chuckles at the shenanigans of the two girls and turns to see Blake shivering in the table "S-she'll burn my books and... remove Tuna from the school menu..." She shivers with a tear on her eyes.

Percy was slightly in shock at the true fear in the girl's eyes. Just what did Glynda did to the girls yesterday to scare them so much? "Ok, enough!" He yells getting their attention and putting Ruby back down "We still have a few minutes, if we hurry we can make it in time but only if we do it together! Like hell am I letting my god-mother mess with your beautiful hair or taking Tuna of the school menu, but we can only do this as a team!" He says as the girls calm down, thinking rationally on the situation.

"He's right! Come on girls! We've taken things worse than an angry Glynda! We can do this!" Says Ruby, jumping with excitement as everyone shares a determined look in their eyes "Everyone! RUN!" Shouts Percy once again only to be impressed by the girls speed as they rush past him rather easily, "Can't be left behind now" he smiles as he runs after them, remembering that they were the ones that knew where they were all supposed to meet.

The group bursts out of the door of the academy, making their way thru the campus noticing another group of teens also looking lost "Hey! We are heading to the meeting point! Follow us!" Yells Percival as the other teens nod and run after them as well. The one on front got closer to Percival "Thanks! We weren't sure were to go, what's your name?" He asks as Percy smiles at him "Percival! But you can call me Percy! What's yours?" He politely asks as the blonde boy smiles "It's Jaune! Jaune arc!" Jaune says as the rest of the group introduce themselves.

"I'm Nora! Nora Valkyrie!" Shouts a small orange hair girl with extreme happiness while grabbing the hand of a quiet boy with black hair, a streak of purple in it and green clothes "This is Lie Ren! He doesn't talk a lot but he is my Bestest Friend in the Universe!" She screams happily while pulling on Ren's arm in order to make him hurry "Just call me Ren" he said with a serious face that was the perfect opposite of what Nora has on her.

'How are this two not a thing yet?...' was the general thought on everyone's minds as Nora was pretty much bouncing around and Ren was being dragged around by her overly happy nature.

"Nice to see you again Percy!" Comments a red head at the end of the group much to everyone's surprise "Pyrrah! I would give you a hug but we have to keep moving!" He says with a smile as Jaune turns to look at Pyrrah "You two know each other?" He asks as Pyrrah smiles "He custom made my weapons back in Sactum; he was also my partner back in the regional's!" She recalls happily as Percy smiles "You didn't need me back then Pyrrah! They didn't stand a chance!" He replies with an embarrassed chuckle.

Everyone stare at them with surprise, they continue a small chat and it was clear how strong the bond between the two of them was. Everyone keep making small banter as they make their way to the cliff, Percy smiles when he sees how open the girls were with Jaune and the others, it was like they had known each other forever!

They eventually reach the cliff. Glynda holds a small pocket watch and has, what must be consider, the scariest face that any of the young teens have ever seen any adult do. Her evil aura seems to instantly fade away as she sees Percival and the remaining students running with all their might to the meeting point.

The teens all try their best to recover their breath as Percy walks closer to Glynda "Did we make it?..." he asks while panting for air "Three seconds to spare! I must say, you broke my own record there Percy!" Says a voice behind the group that makes Percy freeze in an instant.

Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang all turn to look at Percy with a worried look in their faces as he slowly turns to give a cold glare at Ozpin as he tries his best to not punch him in the face. Ozpin notices this as he remains in silence, giving Percy enough time to calm down, he knew Percy wanted nothing more to do with him but this time He wants to take responsibility for all the pain he has brought to Percy and this was the first step to fix the bond he broke all those years ago.

Glynda looks at Percy with worry; she knows that he was close to having a breakdown. She was about to take a step closer to him and try to calm him down. Percy could feel his emotions going haywire but his eyes widen as a sudden wave of peace washes over him, he turns to see Ruby holding his hand with a smile as Yang hugs him from behind, Weiss places a hand in his cheek and Blake rests the back of her head on his chest.

The sudden act of love makes everyone stare at the group with either shock or strange looks, Percy blushes hot red due to all the attention but smiles getting closer to the girls as he feels his rage disappear as fast as it build up inside him. The girls smile in victory and relax in the arms of Percy who takes a deep breath and looks at Ozpin much calmer this time.

"Won't be the only record of yours I break... Father..." he speaks with slight disgust, making the rest of the students gasp in shock and begins to mutter among them. Ozpin smiles at his son "We'll see about that" he says making Glynda smile as the look of Percival's eyes changes from a cold and distant stare to a determined look and a small smirk that was being share by Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang.

"Enough!" Yells Glynda getting everyone's attention back to her "Now that everyone is here we can Finally begin!" She says while glaring at the entire group of teens, making them shiver as she begins to hand instructions "You will all gather pieces of a relic, whatever piece you collect will also determine what team you will be placed in!" She yells looking directly at Percival, who was looking at the forest below the cliff.

"That team will be with you for the rest of your time here, So take thisSERIOUSLY!" She yells louder directly at Percy in order to try to get his attention, She fails miserably as he keeps looking at the forest while his senses many life forms in the deeper woods as well as multiple objects hidden all around the forest. A single object seems to be calling for him from the deepest part of the forest, he senses stronger life forms near said object, and they seem to be protecting it.

Glynda's eyes were focusing a cold glare at Percy that he completely ignores; a black murderous aura was rapidly increasing its size around her as every single student was shaking in fear at the gaze of the teacher. Not even Percival's friends were able to stand against such an angry aura as they all hide behind Percy with fearful looks in their eyes.

Ruby and Weiss are hugging his arms as tightly as they could while shivering like a scared girl hugging a teddy bear. Blake is holding onto his back while peeking above his shoulder trying to stay hidden from view. Yang was holding onto his legs and shivering while staring at Glynda's eyes, only to hide her face into Percival's body to avoid her. Jaune couldn't look away as he can't stop shivering behind Percy, holding onto his back and peeking out of his other shoulder. Pyrrah got closer to Jaune and hugs his arm while trying to regain her composure but failing miserably as she joins Jaune shivering. Nora hides her face on Ren's chest while softly whimpering in fear, hoping to be spared of Glynda's wrath. Ren holds onto Nora protectively, stepping behind Percy and in between Jaune and Pyrrah, his eyes were more serious than before, a bit of fear visible in them as he tries to keep his composure in order to protect Nora. The rest of the students were taking a few steps away from the group, some even were whispering goodbyes to the group.

Percy blinks as his eyes turn back to the class, noticing how they all were looking at him with fearful looks. He looks down to notice the girls all holding onto him tightly as well as Jaune and the rest, he blushes a bit from the attention and turns to look at the source of their fear. He notices immediately the glaring face of Glynda while his father slowly backs away from her, the angry look on her eyes directed completely at him.

Glynda's aura instantly vanishes; everyone stares in shock as her gaze immediately turns from her death stare to a regretful look as she stares into Percival's face. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and the others all turn to look at Percy, only to look at a hurt look on his face. His eyes show a lot sadness in him as well as a hint of weakness that was deeply affecting the girls and Glynda.

The girls were about to try and cheer him up but Glynda beat them to it as she softly begins to pet his hair, his sad face slowly turns into a smile from being treated so nicely and he smiles brightly at his godmother who replies with a gentle smile of her own.

Everyone has shock written all over their faces as Percy goes completely immune to Glynda's wrath by just looking at her, Ruby and Blake start to pat his head as well, earning a giggle from Percy that only makes them pet him even more with happy smiles in their faces. Weiss coughs with embarrassment as she tries to decide to pet his head as well or avoid public embarrassment, as shy as she was, she could not resist her urges to join the petting when Percival began to softly purr. Yang stands up and dusts herself off, she smiles at Percival only to notice him being pet by Ruby, Blake and Weiss, his soft purrs slowly spread a blush thru anyone that hears him, she is unable to control herself and glomps him immediately, hugging his back tightly as he continues to purr.

Jaune and Pyrrah share a chuckle at how clingy the girls could be as the idea of petting him as well crosses their minds. Nora turns to look at Ren who notices and looks back at her, Nora has a curious look on her face that only confuses Ren "Something wrong Nor-" he is interrupted by Nora's hand as she begins to happily pet his hair as well with a bright smile on her.

Percy snaps out of it when Glynda coughs irritated about the girls stealing him over "As I was saying..." she begins "The forest bellow you is the home of many Grimm, you must collect the relics within the time limit, and those of you who fail to do this will be immediately expelled!" She says scaring most recruits

"U-um... how are we supposed to get down?" Asks Jaune as Ozpin smirks "Get into position kids!" He says as they all look down to a series of gray pads in the ground, most of students enter the pads with excited smiles on their faces as they pull out their weapons, Percy notices Jaune still wasn't sure what to do and steps closer to him "Try to not fall on your head" he says with an honest smile that only unease's Jaune even more "Um...What sort of landing strategy should we use?" He asks Ozpin who smirks more "Your own" he replies as Percy prepares his gear and stands in the middle of the pads where all his friends were, smiling with determination at the girls who reply with a similar smile and a few winks.

Jaune looks around "oh ok, where are the parachutes?" He asks only for Percy to turn and move him closer to Pyrrah, who blushes enough for Percy to notice as he smiles at Jaune "Hang onto her" he says as the pads activate and all the students are send flying towards the forest, battle cries and laughter fill the group of friends except for Jaune who screams in panic as he holds Pyhrra's hand while she blushes even more. Percy pulls out twin revolvers out of their gun holsters in his belt and aims at the ground.

They seem like normal revolvers as they do not have a transformation in them but this two were Percival's pride, his favorite weapons and by far the ones that he spent the most time working on, from adding silencer, loudeners, extended magazines, scopes or amplifiers capable of shooting down helicopters.

The simple design of the revolvers made them a delight to work around in order to make them more complex, the rounds of the weapon were pure energy extracted from the Dust crystals in the secondary chamber allow him to use elemental ammunition to whatever he feels fit for the situation. Unlike normal Revolvers, the ammunition it use on its main chamber was an intricate design of batteries that allowed its energy to be charged by holding the trigger, the energy would then pass to the second chamber activating the selected Dust crystal and finally fire the designated energy towards the enemy dealing a good amount of damage depending how much the round was charged.

Percy turns both of the secondary chambers and smiles when they both stop in the Wind crystal, he pulls on the trigger making a bright light slowly form in the tip of the barrels and it slowly starts to build up.

They all start to fall down into the ground as Percy aims his guns to where they would all fall down, he releases the trigger as two giant gusts of wind come out of the barrels generating a small tornado that catches his friends and lays them on the ground safely, the knockback of the revolvers sends him flying forward deeper into the forest.

"LET'S NOT DO THAT AGAIN!" Complains Jaune as he moves from on top of Pyrrah, who was in cloud nine with a giant blush on her face and a perverted smile. "Suck it up Jaune! It wasn't that bad!" Says Yang as she pops out from nearby bushes with twigs and leaves on her hair "Not that I don't appreciate it, but Percy REALLY needs to find more gentle ways to land!" Exclaims Weiss as she climbs down a tree she landed on "Where is Percy anyway?" Asks Blake while dusting herself off and looking around the group "He must have been blasted further into the forest, Come on guys! We need to hurry, there's a time limit remember?! We can find Percy on the way!" Exclaims Ruby making everyone stand up.

"Lets all split in pairs! We'll meet back here when we find our relic!" She says as she pairs up with Weiss, everyone follows her instructions while dividing into teams, Nora and Ren, Jaune and Pyrrah, Blake and Yang. They all smile with determination, feeling quite pumped to jump into action "Try to find Percy as well! But if I know him, I'm sure he has a relic by now. Let's go!" She smiles as they all dash in different directions thru the forest, their weapons ready for any Grimm that may stand in their way.

The future brides have no trouble at all to find their corresponding relic pieces, working as a perfect team and steam rolling any threat in their way; their past years of living prove to be useful in their quick thinking and devastating strategy. When they fight, they fight as one being, an entity composed of their will to keep on going, this kind of instinct could only be developed with lifelong partners, which luckily for the girls, they always were and their bond only got stronger with the Invasion and their wedding to Percy.

The other students are awestruck at the girl's path of destruction; some have even lost count of their kills. The girls were proud of their abilities, but once the adrenaline leaves their bodies they could feel their bodies getting tired and they began to breath heavily "Wh-Whats going on?... why am I... so tired?..." asks Ruby while using a nearby tree as support to rest.

"W-What the hell?! This is mere warm up yet I might throw up!" Yells Yang while laying on her back on the ground and gasping for air. Blake sits next to her sweating just as much while trying to relax her sore muscles "Our minds and memories came back to the past... but our bodies stay the same... so basically-" "We are out of Shape..." interrupts Weiss while tossing a few bottles of water to her team and chugging them like there was no tomorrow "Didn't realized I was this low on stamina back then... we only truly started to train after our pregnancy..." she continues while sitting next to Blake.

"WELL ISN'T THAT JUST FUCKING WONDERFUL?!" complains Yang as she drinks half the bottle of water "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED FOR THOSE MUSCLES?!" she yells at Ruby who slowly walks to her using her scythe as support "You kept waking Percy every morning at four of the morning to train with you" says Blake as she splashes some water in her face "It was truly annoying to lose his warmth so early" she ends as she lays on her back as well.

"Ok girls! We are taking five and then we go find our husband!" Says Ruby trying her best to keep an autorative tone on her voice but failing miserably as her natural high pitched voice was revealing just how tired she is, she sits next to Weiss as they take a moment to recover their strengths.

They all look at their wedding rings, the gems shinning on the light of the sun as memories of their time together with Percy come back to their minds, they all have a small blush on their faces as they remember the embarrassing moments they share with him both private and with the other girls. Ruby was the first one to break the silence as her eyes have small tears that she fights to keep in "I want my husband back... I want to be His Little Rose again..." she says making the girls smile "I want him to call me White Queen one more time" says Weiss honestly as she hugs the ring close to her chest "I want to lay down on his lap and have him pet my head... I want to hear him call me Kitten..." she says while petting her own hair like he used to do. Yang is the toughest one to break as the girls stare at her waiting for her to share, she sighs "FINE! I WANT TO CUDDLE IN HIS ARMS WHILE HE WHISPERS THAT IM HIS GOLDEN SUN! THERE, HAPPY?!" She asks annoyed.

"Wow Yang, Usually its Weiss the one to be embarrassed easily and yell, didn't expect that from you!" Teases Blake only to receive a glare from both Weiss and Yang "Grr... I just want Percy to love me again!" She yells sharing the feelings everyone has "Me too..." Ruby, Weiss and Blake say in unison while staring at the rings.

They all sigh once again in unison and stand up slowly "Alright!" Yells Ruby in high spirits "Let's find our Percy and help him out!" She says making the girls nod with determination in their eyes "Let's prove why we are the best! Let's prove our love to him! Let's go team RWBY!" She charges forward with the girls following close behind into the forest, looking for Percy while their own relics were hanging on their pockets as they run.

They didn't run for long until they were able to hear the sounds of multiple gunshots as well as inhuman cries, they could feel a dark and cold feeling suddenly grip their hearts as their eyes grow wide "PERCIVAL!" They yell at the same time beginning to sprint towards the source of the noises, fearing in their hearts for the well being of their husband.

Their hearts stop when they reach a clearing on the deeper part of the forest, where they see many corpses of beowolves with bullet holes in their chests and head all laying around two alpha beowolves that were attacking a bloody Percy who was desperately trying to shoot them and reach for a weapon in the back of his waist.

Percy manages to push one of the alpha's away but the blood on his eyes made it more difficult to see what he was doing as he doesn't manage to see the second alpha charging at him, he screams in pain as he uses his right arm to block the incoming bite, feeling his bones breaking on impact, luckily he had activated The Diplomatic Approachjust in time to shock the creature away before he truly lost that arm.

The girls manage to take a good look at Percy, his snow white hair was now a crimson red from a head wound that bleed towards his face, his coat has many cuts all over the torso and back and some were deep enough to cut his skin, his now broken right arm had parts of the coat burned off due to excessive use of the Gauntlet, his legs have multiple bite marks on them, it was a miracle that they still worked at all.

The girls didn't understand it; Percy was one of the best fighters they have ever met! He was always tactical in his approach and he NEVER lets himself open for attacks, so why was he this injured? The answer came when they turned to look at the large tree that a lot of the beowolf corpses were laying on. An injured Jaune is being protected by Pyrrah and Ren as Nora performs first aid on him, they didn't had many cuts in them but it was clear that Percy was fighting to protect them.

Ren and Pyrrah were about to jump in and fight alongside Percy but more Beowolves began to charge at them, The Alphas were letting out such a murderous aura that they seem to say to the other Beowolves "THIS ISOURPREY!" as they kept on attacking Percy with murder in their blood red eyes.

Percy was on his lasts, all the blood loss made it difficult for him to see and he was having a lot of trouble raising his arms to either attack or counter the alphas, he could no longer use his right arm and he feels like he is about to collapse. "Use me..." Percy froze as he hears a dark voice in the back of his head, the sudden burst of emotion allows him to jump out of the way of an incoming claw and kicking an Alpha away.

"You can't win... Not on your own... Use. ME..." Percy holds his head in pain at the demands of the voice "Go back in the seal... Get out of my head!" He whispers as he clears the blood from his eyes, only to notice the furious Alpha's charging at him as well as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang in the distance with horrified looks on their faces just like Jaune and the others who were fighting normal Beowolves.

"You are too weak... You can't save them... You can't even save yourself..." the voice kept mocking him as anger starts to boil inside him, only to be replaced with worry when he saw Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang charge at the Alpha's "GET AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND!" they yell in unison in blind rage. Percy's eyes grow wide from the sudden declaration as a small blush appears on his face. Only to be smacked back into reality when both Alphas tackle him to the ground, he manages to hold the snout of one of the Alphas as it tears off his coat, but the second one bites him on the neck, making blood spray out of Percy as he screams in Agony.

His screams broke the girl's hearts, their eyes wide as everything slows down for them. They could see the Alpha biting onto his neck with the ferocity of a true mindless beast; Percy's blood was spraying out of his wound like a fountain as he slowly starts to lose that light in his eyes that kept him fighting.

All in slow motion, Percy closes his eyes as his hand falls to the ground defeated. Everything turns black for the girls, time still stopped as they still try to process what just happened. Their hearts broken bringing tears to their eyes as they see the only man that they would ever love, dead on the ground.

The thought of everything that was taken from them started to poison their judgment. All the beautiful moments that they would have with Percy, all the self discovery they made with him, all the moments in which he easily took their breaths away, all the nights in which they would go to bed holding his arms as the last thing they hear before they fall asleep is "I Love You" from him, all those mornings where they would wake up to the smell of a delicious breakfast and the first thing they hear is yet another "I Love You". The family that they would build together as well as the memories it carried with it, the joyful birthday parties, the naughty anniversaries, the fun filled holidays... their babies... All that taken away by a couple of mutt's right after they just got him back...

They snapped.

Their eyes gone dark, their visions almost locking on to the one Alpha with a bloody snout that was about to take another bite out of THEIR husband, everything else was a blur as they were only focusing on the one Beowolf that took Percy from them, their weapons at the ready with the desire to hunt, Their bodies moving on their own due to their broken state of mind.

A dark aura around them, increasing at a violent pace as blood lust and pure hatred were the only things capable of describing it. A dark voice on their minds was the only thing they could hear as it slowly whispers "Kill"

Their eyes turn from a devastated look to one of pure anger and rage; they glare at the one Beowolf imagining all the ways to destroy it as their own desire for blood starts to scream "KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!" their hearts and minds were screaming for vengeance as time slowly starts to resume.

Tears fall down their cheeks as they let out a crying scream that makes everyone turn to look at them in shock as the almost demonic aura around them makes them seem like monsters "YOU KILLED MY PERCIVAL!YOU ARE GOING TO DIE, YOU BASTARD!" Yells Yang, her demonic aura only increasing due to her anger activating her semblance as fire covers her gauntlets and she uppercuts the Alpha Beowolf after a series of furious punches that broke various bones in its torso, launching it several feet in the air.

Blake suddenly appears in the air next to the ascending Grimm, her yellow eyes shining with her rising anger and tears like those of a predator in the hunt "NOT HIM! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH WHAT IS MINE! ILL MAKE YOU SUFFER!" She yells as in a series of flashes she starts to cut the Beowolf with her blade, her natural speed and agility making her almost invisible to Grimm as she uses her semblance to create several clones to keep torturing the Grimm, cutting it all over her body only to finish by jumping off his chest and kicking him back to the ground as she screams in rage.

The Alpha began to fall towards the ground with the speed of a meteor, just as he was inches from the ground Weiss stabs it with her rapier stopping the fall, her eyes red from crying and rage as she starts to stab it multiple times with such a speed that the beowolf remains in the air "HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY KING FROM ME?! I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU AND BURN YOUR CORPSES LIKE THE MISERABLE ANIMALS YOU ARE!" She screams stabbing the Alpha so fast that her arm was an after image of itself and her rapier couldn't even be seen, she screams using her semblance to once again launch the Grimm into the air with a kick the force of a speed train.

The Beowolf flies once again the air, suddenly stopping by the force of Ruby suddenly appearing out of thin air and hitting it with her scythe, a deep cut suddenly appearing in its chest. She was still crying, sobbing as black rose petals follow a trail behind her "Percy...MY PERCY!" she screams launching the Alpha upwards and once again disappearing in a trail of black rose petals, her anger rising as she once again uses her semblance to instantly appear next to the Beowolf and swinging her scythe at it "BRINGHIM BACK TO ME!" She screams again as yet another deep cut appears on the Alphas chest "YOU STUPID DOG! BRING HIM BACK!" More and more cuts started to appear on the creature's chest as it bounced back and forth as Ruby keeps torturing it with her Scythe "I WONT LET YOU DIE! NOT UNTIL HE IS BACK IN MY ARMS! ILL TORTURE YOU FOR AS LONG AS YOU KEEP BREATHING!" Gone was the sweet childish girl and so was her smile as she stabs the chest of the Grimm once more and slams it in the ground breaking whatever bones it still had left intact.

The girls all fell next to Ruby, their anger only rising as they turn their weapons into their gun modes and aim at the head of the creature "WE'LL SEE YOU IN HELL, JUST DIE!" They scream in unison, their eyes red from crying and with a never ending rage that increases by the second. They began to fire their guns as they scream, taking away anything that was left of the now unrecognizable pile of flesh and bones that once belonged to an Alpha Beowolf.

Pyrrah, Ren, Nora and Jaune were out of words at the display of brutality that the girls showed. They could feel the pain they were in and couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship did they shared with Percy, whose body was just a few meters away, laying in a pool of his own blood.

Their thoughts shift to Percy, Pyrrah was devastated, tears escape her eyes as she just saw her very first real friend die in front of her... and she couldn't do anything to stop it... After all her years training to be the best, all she did was watching her best friend die...

Ren feels an anger he had not felt in a long time, Percival sacrificed himself in order to save them, yet if he had killed the lesser beowolfs faster, he could have saved him... but he failed... he failed everyone...

Nora was sobbing while holding on Ren's sleeve; she was supposed to be strong now! She didn't need anyone to save her! But here she was. Once again holding onto Ren for comfort as another person suffers for her weakness...

Jaune was taking it the worst of all. If only he hadn't been so reckless... If only he hadn't tried to prove that he could be the hero... that he didn't need the help of anyone else... It was his fault, Percival was dead and it was his fault...

The four of them stood up, helping Jaune as his body was still sore. They make their way towards the girls, losing the count of how many bullets have they fired at the now dead Alpha "That's enough..." Pyrrah says as she places a hand on Yang's shoulder, which she pushes away in her rage as she keeps shooting with her team.

"IT'S ALREADY DEAD! STOP IT!" Pyrrah yells as she and Ren pull on the girls along with Nora and Jaune. The girls struggle trying to break free from their friends grip as they keep screaming at the Beowolf, begging to let them finish it as they try to aim back at its body with their weapons.

They fall to their knees defeated. Their rage slowly disappearing as it's replaced with sadness as the air is escaping from their lungs in one final painful scream that echoes thru the entire forest.

Silence remains as the girls look down at their blood soaked hands, tears falling to the ground as they sob uncontrollably.

They stand up, their hair hiding their eyes as they walk to Percival's body. Yang kneels down next to his head, laying it softly in her lap. Blake kneels in front of Yang, brushing some stray hairs off Percy's face and cleaning his glasses with a small napkin before placing them back on his eyes and holding his cheek gently. Weiss grabs his left hand tenderly, holding it up to her face with both hands as she cries into it, kissing the palm as she places it above her cheek. Ruby collapses on his chest, soaking her own dress with his blood, she cries hiding her face in his chest as she kisses his wounds over and over again.

-Nowhere-

Percy opens his eyes; all he can see is endless white while feeling how he was floating in thin air "W-Where... Where am I?... Am... Am I dead?..." he asks to no one in particular. He turns around and his eyes grow wide at the giant yellow seal that seems to go on forever, countless symbols and digits from many languages and magic systems he couldn't comprehend were there, constantly changing into infinite factors in the seven circles that made the seal, and in the other end of the seal, was a completely dark room in which there stood a reflection of Percival, staring at the real one with those black irises and yellow pupils that kept haunting Percy's dreams ever since he was a small kid. In that moment he knew, that he was talking to the avatar of The Darkness

"Killed by a bunch of mutts... Pathetic..." it says as it stares down at Percy, who smiles and relaxes "You say that yet here you are. The most chaotic force in the universe, the elemental being of Chaos, the being in constant war with the light, the one that terrifies men, women and child. Trapped inside a seventeen year old with abandonment issues" he says with a triumphant smirk.

The Darkness turns into a hideous being, bigger than anything Percy has ever laid his eyes upon "SILENCE!" It yells with its giant maws trying to scare Percy, but he doesn't even flinch. The Darkness goes back into being Percival, glaring with a giant intensity towards its jailer. Percy glares back just as hard "I'm done being a slave to my fear... I am no longer scared of You..." he says with a conviction that surprises The Darkness. For once, one of its users has the guts to stand up to it.

The Darkness smiles, feeling new found respect for Percival and deciding to test his courage "You should be... because I'm taking control now..." Percival's eyes grow wide as he could feel his body being taken over by anger as the Darkness slowly tries to make him go into Berserk mode.
"N-no!... I won't... let you hurt them!" He says while struggling for control, until he saw it.

His vision went back to the real world and he could see the remaining Alpha slowly beginning to charge at his friends. His vision shifts to the girls all crying over his body, they wouldn't be able to react on time.

"N-NO! I-I have to save them! I have to... get up!... I have to... WAKE UP!" He screams trying to regain control of his body and push the Darkness away. The Darkness only smiles as Percy's body was slowly being covered by Dark tendrils that wrap themselves all over his body "You will always be... My Puppet" it says as it closes its eyes with a devil smile "NEVER!" he screams while glaring daggers at The Darkness. Percy could feel his consciousness fading away; he was helpless against the influence of the Darkness. He closes his eyes and was beginning to accept his fate, wishing for a way to save his friends... his wives...

Suddenly, it all became clear to him.

And The Darkness could only stare in shock as Percy raises his head looking at a bright light slowly covering him.

"Mom..."

-Back in the forest-

Everyone hears the roar of a Beowolf just a few feet from them; they all turn towards the sound of the beast only to see it jump towards them, its claws inches away from them and its maws wide open for a bite. It all became slow motion as Pyrrah, Ren and Nora try to reach for their weapons in time to counter the beast. Jaune froze in fear at the gigantic beast about to kill them; a sudden rush of courage goes thru him as he takes his shield and tries to guard his friends. The girls all jump to protect Percy, closing their eyes while holding onto their Husband as tightly as they could, but they no longer could feel his body.

They all wait for a strike that never came, the girls panic from not finding Percival's body under them, they all turn to look at the creature only to gasp in shock seeing it being held back by none other than Percy himself, a powerful aura covering him from head to toe as he holds the beast by its maws with his left hand.

A heavy silence falls on the group as the red eyes of the Alpha look down in shock at Percy. The girls shiver in fear thinking The Darkness has taken over Percival's body, until he began to talk. "Do you see those eight humans back there?..." he asks the creature in a low voice as the eyes of the Beowolf shift from looking at him to looking at the group behind Percy.

"Those eight... they are my friends... You tried to hurt them... do you know what that means?..." he asks as tentacles slowly wrap themselves around his arms, the girls grew worried at the familiar tentacles only to gasp in shock at their color, instead of the Black and Red pattern the tentacles had in the original timeline, this tentacles were a pattern of White and Black.

"W-whats happening?..." asks Jaune as Ruby and the rest stand up "Percy... Percy is in control..." whispers Ruby in shock "H-How... How is it possible?..." asks Yang with her mouth wide open "I-Is that?!" Points Blake at Percival's right hand, everyone gasps noticing him holding the broken sword his future self gave him earlier that morning, his mother's broken sword. The Sword of The Huntress Queen, Aria Lambert.

Everyone stares at the sword in shock, you couldn't call yourself a hunter without knowing the story of The Huntress Queen, she was a Huntress said to kill the very first Grimm Dragon all by herself, she was fabled to have a semblance so powerful it was possible for her to resurrect the recently deceased, Purify any darkness and even turn wild Grimm into faithful companions. In her last battle she was rumored to have died slaying the Grimm Dragon, preventing it to spread its evil in the world and create a war. But it was now clear what had happened to her in reality, she was Percival's mother.

This was of no surprise to Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, as Ozpin revealed the truth to them the night Percival proposed to them. What surprises them is the fact that Percy had it already! In the original timeline Percy started to look for the pieces of the sword when the Colossal Grimm Dragon woke up, yet here it was, shinning a white energy that spreads around Percival and fights the Darkness like a virus.

It then made sense to them, the sword was purifying Percy, eliminating any kind of corruption The Darkness was trying to pass to Percival, allowing him to keep his sanity as well as letting him think without being possessed by The Darkness.

The Beowolf growls at him, who shakes his head slowly, almost understanding what the Alpha was saying "No, I'm not going to kill you... You don't deserve to be spared with death... You tried to harm those I care about..." Percy points with his right hand at Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, not turning his head from the Grimm "You made THEM cry... and for every tear that escaped their eyes... I'll make you wish for Death one thousand times..." he whispers the last part, launching an uppercut at the Grimm as his tentacles start to stab all over the Beowolf's body as Percy grips harder on the broken handle of the sword, looking away from the group as they stare at the Grimm being tortured in mid air by Percival's tentacles.

Two snakes burst out of Percival's back only that instead of the Black red eyed Snakes that Percy was used to, now there were two white snakes looking even more ferocious, with sharper teeth and longer jaws, as they let out a blood chilling roaring scream that echoes thru the forest.

The snakes turn to look at Percy with a look in their eyes of a loyal familiar expecting a command; He doesn't bother with looking back as he simply makes a gesture with his head towards the Alpha. The snakes turn in an instant and gaze upon the Grimm, they once again let out their hellish screech as they bottom jaw splits open in two, revealing various sets of razor sharp teeth in the insides of its mouth that are meant to tear the flesh of its victims apart before consuming its remains down their throats, two small bone hooks on the end of the jaw keep it together as one and hold their prey in place as they torture it.

The snakes shoot upwards with the speed of a whip as a small whack can be heard when their speed breaks that of sound halfway towards the Grimm. Jaune, Pyrrah, Ren and Nora could only see the after image of the speeding predator while the more trained eyes of Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang can clearly see them making their way towards the Beowolf.

Percy raises his hand as the tentacles and snakes raise the Beowolf higher into the air to avoid his friends the nightmare that it was to see his companions feed upon a prey. All they could hear were the nightmarish sounds of the Snakes tearing flesh and breaking bones as they eat the remaining parts of the Alpha while the tentacles hold it in place and break its remaining bones to make it easier for them to eat.

The tentacles retract back into Percival's body, disappearing just as they had arrived. The snakes slowly came back to Percival, their heads soaked in crimson blood from their latest prey as they remain in front of Percival, staring into his eyes like the loyal beings they are, awaiting praise from their master as well as his next order.

Percy slowly pets their heads, making them nuzzle up to his palms searching for affection "That's enough for today... go back into slumber..." he says as they bow their heads to him before retracting once again into his back. Percy keeps looking away from the rest of the teens, not daring to show his face to them as he knows they are afraid of him.

"This is what I am... What I'll always be... and why I'm always alone... I'm a monster... A living Nightmare spawned from hell... and I won't blame you if you all decide to keep your distance from me... I'm used to it by now..."he looks down, clenching his fists at the painful memories of his childhood as he holds onto his mothers sword as tight as he could in order to hold back the tears that were threatening to escape his eyes, his fear of abandonment once again torturing him.

Silence was the only reply Percival receives, he closes his eyes in shame and begins to walk forward, hoping to either reach the academy or a hole to die in. His eyes grow wide when he feels five pairs of arms crash into him, holding him close as he could feel multiple people sobbing on his back.

The arms turn him around in order for the people to crash into his chest, he looks down to see Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Pyrrah all clinging to him as they sob "Dumbass... You scared me back there!" Yells Pyrrah as she punches his arm as hard as she could before stepping back and smile at him "Next time don't jump into action without a plan! You were the one that taught me that, you Dolt!" She complains as she wipes her tears away with a smile full of relief.

"THAT. WAS. SO. AWESOME!"Yells Nora as she gets closer to Percy, stars in her eyes from the destruction she just witnessed. "You were all like 'DEAD!' And the Beowolf was like 'RAWR IM GOING TO EAT YOUR FRIENDS!' and you were like 'NOT TODAY BITCH!' And then your snakes were like 'RAWR!' and then the Beowolf died and it was soooo AWESOME!" She rambles on while squealing with glee at all the carnage and at Percival's powers.

As Nora keeps squealing around Percy, Ren walks forward with a smile giving him a pat on the back with a look of both respect and relief "Glad to find you well, You are quite the fighter Percival! I hope we can spar together someday, maybe trade strategies" he says happily making Percy smile and nod happily.

Jaune was trying to desperately catch his breath, holding his knees for support as he was shaking all over "I think I saw my grandmother... I saw all my life flash before my eyes!" He says trying to get a hold of himself "Thank god you were here Percival! I could smell that monster's breath! I've never been so scared in my life!" He says as Pyrrah pats his back, Percy didn't know what to say to the panicking Jaune.

Percy looks back down at the four girls pouring their hearts out as they cry on his chest "I...I thought *sob* I thought You... Oh God! I almost lost you! *sob* Don't you even THINK about scaring me like that again or else... *sob* I'm going to kick your ass all the way to Mars!" Screams Yang in fury while hiding her face in his right shoulder under the crook of his neck "I love you... but you make me want to kill you sometimes you know?" She whispers in his ear with a gentle smile and goes back to Sobbing in his shoulder.

Blake was crying the hardest of the girls, her nails digging into Percival's naked left shoulder "Don't... Don't do that me *sob* My heart can't...*sob* It can't continue beating if you aren't next to me... Why do you always have to be so impulsive? *Sob*... you always get hurt when you do... What do I have to do for you to think before you act?..." she asks as she hides her face on his left shoulder, kissing a few cuts and bruises he had around there "*Sob* But... as long as you come back to me... I can always forgive you... *Sob* no matter how much of an Idiot you are... I *Sob* will always love you...My Romeo..." Blake whispers as she continues to kiss any bruise or cut she could find in that section of his body she keeps holding on to.

Weiss starts to hit his chest with both of her hands, gentle enough to not harm him yet hard enough for him to feel her frustration as she cries "YOU FOUR EYED DUMBASS! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO SCARE ME LIKE THAT?! YOU ARE A JERK! A MEAN, CRUEL, AIR HEADED JERK!" She screams before hugging him closer by his waist, his tall form that he inherit from his father only allows her to hide her face on the middle of his chest "What am I supposed to do if I lose you?... How am I supposed to go on... without you giving me the strength to do so?" She asks with quiet sobs pushing her face deeper into his naked chest.

Ruby holds onto Percival as tightly as her arms allow her, the real fear of losing him again if she lets go was clouding her judgment as she looks upon into the surprised eyes of Percival. They stare into each other's eyes for no more than a few second, Percival could see the desperation and anxiety in Ruby's eyes as tears run down her face and multiple sobs escape her lips "You are ok... *sob* *sob* My Percikins... You are ok...*sobs*" she couldn't control herself, she reaches up to his face, holding his cheeks with her soft hands, making the blush he already has on his face quite brighter.

Using all of her strength, Ruby pulls Percival's head low enough for them to be in eye level before giving him the most passionate kiss her little self could give him. Wrapping her arms around his head as she pushes herself into him as she closes her eyes and gives in to the heat of the moment.

A loud series of gasps can be heard around them as Ruby starts to lick Percy's bottom lip, begging for entrance to his mouth which she quickly forces herself into, exploring his mouth with her tongue while battling his for dominance in a passionate French kiss.

Once the need for air becomes too much for them to bear, Ruby slowly breaks the kiss, opening her eyes to stare into Percival's as a small trail of saliva still connects their mouths "Promise us you won't scare us like that again... Promise Me that you'll be more careful from now on..." she pleads as the tears keep falling from her cheek, Percy can only nod his head slowly recovering from the shock of receiving his first kiss.

Ruby smiles at his answer and slowly goes for another kiss only to feel Yang pull on her hood violently "Wah! Yang! What was that for?!" She complains only to see the glares from her sister and best friends "Oh, Don't you dare give me that look! You were planning to kiss him as well! I just took the initiative!" She yells, making her team blush a bit more.

They finally let go of Percy as they begin a heated argument. Percy takes a few steps back, shock all over his face as not only did he received his first kiss, but his friends almost paid no mind to the fact that he had such power 'Are they still in shock?...' he thinks while taking a few steps back.

"Nope, they are just as weird as we are" a voice says behind him making Percival turn around in an instant, only to be greeted by the calming smile of his future self. "You again..." Percy whispers while relaxing his stance "Surprised to see me?" His future self asks while Percy notices that time was stopped around them.

"To be honest, I expected you... What happened back there?... How did I gain control?..." he asks while his future self walks to the girls "You proved your worth" he says with a happier tone than usual as he takes Percy's hand and drags him to the group "You wanted to protect your friends and girlfriends above all else and doing so you proved your worth to Mothers sword"

Percy was taken aback as he stares at the handle of the sword "I wonder if mother would have been proud of what I just did... regardless of the reason behind it... I still used The Darkness for my own means..." he whispers as a solemn falls on his eyes.

"She would have accepted you no matter what" a new voice says behind them, in shock, Percy turns to look at the newcomer as he remembered that time was supposedly stopped around them, his shock only increased when he saw his father walking towards them as he feels the hand of his future self rest on his left shoulder.

"What isHEdoing here?" Asks Percy with malice and hatred evident in his voice. "I figured we needed to tell you the truth" replies his future self with a relaxed tone on his voice as Ozpin walks even closer to them, his cane in hand and a serious look in his face.

The confusion in Percival's face was more than apparent, making his older self chuckle as he ruffles his younger self's hair "Don't worry so much, after all, the sooner you realize what's going on the better you will be able to prepare yourself for what is to come" he says as he lifts his hand and three chairs appear out of thin air, a really comfortable recliner, a proper office chair and a simple school desk chair "You may want to sit down for this" says the older Percival as he jumps into the red leather recliner and pulls on the lever to the side to lift his feet up in a more comfortable position.

Ozpin sighs at the older Percival's antics and sits on the office chair, hiding his nervousness from both of the Percival's.

Percy stares at the older white hair men in shock for a few seconds only to sit in the desk chair and wait for an explanation. "Percy..." his father begins as Percy turns to him with a disinterested look on his eyes that show no love for the man "Your mother... she wanted me to hide this from you for as long as possible... she didn't wanted you to walk the same path she did when she was young... she wished for you to find your own path and become a person of your own... to not live in her shadow and to be whatever you wished to be..." he continues despite the glare of his only son intensifies at the mention of his mother.

"When you got your title as a weapon engineer... When you won the championship and when you were acknowledge as the best in the world... I couldn't hold back my tears of pride... so young and not only did you become someone world famous... but you also found your passion and fulfilled your mothers dream..." Ozpin looks down at the ground with a smile full of pride, yet his eyes also hold regret "I only wish... she... That I... had been there for you... to see you get your title... but I leave you alone... and that's something I will always regret... to miss such an important moment of your life..." he hides his face from Percy as tears roll down his face.

Percy was taken aback by his father's kind words; he always figured that Ozpin hated him. Yet here he was, muttering "I am So Sorry" as he tries to control himself and his tears "If you feel that way... Why did you abandon us?... Why did you never came back?..." he asks only to feel the hand of his older self grasp his shoulder. He turns to look at him as his older self, who only replies to him with a serious look, which only confused him more as he was used to see him with the same happy smirk.

"It's time for you to know the truth... The truth about Mom..." his future self says with the same serious look on his eyes.
