{Justin/Achilles' perspective}

Well Oobleck was right about one thing. These tunnels are better lit then the ones at Mountain Glenn.

Keoth is still giving me shit about those richoteing bullets when I keep telling him in my defence, I was ultra paranoid. Of course he wasn't having any of it. Though we did find a break room of sorts that we are now using as a temporary base, since it's about to be night and we don't want to fight grimm in the dark.

Weiss and Rose said they'd take the first shift. Which has me anxious for multiple reasons. The first being they're both that 'bitch next door' type of personality.

Granted Weiss is more tsundere at this point.

And Jocelyn, or Rose rather since this is a side of her I've never seen before, is rather unpredictable right now.

Aaron, also known as Moon to the others, tapped my shoulder "Hey dude, you alright?" He asked.

I sighed and shook my head "Well considering the two most volatile people are out there guarding us, I'm worried about what will happen." I explain.

Aaron looked at the door that was closed, Weiss insisted it be closed, and nodded "Yeah, I won't lie, I feel like they're going to argue at some point." He said crossing his arms.

Jaune then passed us some food that we managed to find. For some reason, it hasn't expired yet. "We'll worry about that later guys." He said as we grabbed the food from his hands "But right now we need to eat and rest." He then joined Pyrrha's side.

I watched for a little while seeing how happy they were. Pyrrha fed Jaune some of her salad she managed to find while we were scavenging for food earlier. I am truly happy for them… I just hope to avoid her demise in volume three.

I'll discuss it with Keoth later if possible.

{Weiss' perspective}

Well I managed to get some time to talk to her. But she is barely acknowledging my existence. Even with my small talk I then decided I had enough waiting and asked "Alright Rose, I need to ask you something."

Rose only turned her eyes at me then went back to staring at a wall "What is it heiress?" She asked coldly.

I crossed my arms and said "What happened between you and Achilles?"

She laughed and said "And you care because?"

"Because I am his friend, and I am worried about him!" I defended.

Rose scoffs "Oh sorry, I didn't think he'd be crying about it like a little baby."

I cannot believe what I am hearing "Why are you acting like this?"

She then looked directly "You have no idea what I am going though ok? I have a lot more to deal with than this bullshit."

I will admit, I got angry at her words "I may not know what you are going through, but you and Achilles need each other, whether you want to or not."

"I don't need him." She snapped "Besides, he has you guys now."

"So?" I said "He said it himself he's not interested in any of us."

She smiled cruelly "You're still his team."

I stomped "No, we're his friends. And he's hurting after what you did!"

She rolled her eyes as she said "It's just a silly little ring. How hard could I hit him?"

I pointed at her "You hit him in the most vulnerable place, his heart, his feelings for you. How can you act like his feelings are nothing!?"

She snorted "Wow, I never thought the Ice Queen would confront me. But you know nothing about this relationship."

I crossed my arms again "I know enough to know that you two are too good for each other."

She looked at me confused, "Too good for each other huh?"

I nodded "Exactly, you two have something that a lot of people spend their entire lives looking for. And you just threw yours away."

She looked at me angrily "Listen Schnee, I don't need any 'love' or 'relationship advice' from you, aka the Ice Queen. If you really care about it that much why don't you talk to Achilles. I'm done. Now shut up and keep watch." She then returned her gaze to the wall across the tracks from us.

I honestly can't believe she is willing to throw away their 5 years together. And for what exactly? I balled my fists as I asked one more question "Why?"

She scoffed "Please, he hardly spends time with me anymore. Between his constant training for the VYTAL festival and hanging out with you guys, I hardly get to spend any time with him. Those days in the emerald forest was the last time I was able to be with him. And I figured he needed one more good day before I ruined the rest of his life."

I dropped my head as I leaned against the wall near the door. I don't wanna continue with this. I'll ask Achilles later what is going on with her to act this way.

And for the rest of our time guarding everyone else we didn't speak a single word. Then Jaune and Achilles took our places and I went immediately to where I was sleeping.

{Justin/Achilles' perspective}

Weiss looked like she lost an argument to a cave bear. Which probably means she talked to Jocelyn. And I can only imagine how that turned out. I sighed to myself and held my head.

Jaune took notice "Hey are you ok?" He asked.

I shook my head as I responded with "Well… physically I'm alright. Mentally though might be a different story."

Jaune nodded and said "Penny for your thoughts then?"

I laughed then said "Oh now using my metaphor huh?"

He laughed back and said "Well it is a pretty good one at that."

We then both shared a bit of laughter before calming down and taking a few breaths. I then said "Well, you know how Rose and I had a falling out recently right?"

He then looked at me in shock "But… you two seemed inseparable. What happened?"

I shrugged "I'm not sure myself… though I suspect she's now traveling down a path I cannot follow."

Jaune held his chin as if he were thinking before saying "Oh you uh, meant metaphorically." he started "well I have noticed she has been acting more irrational lately."

I crossed my arms and looked up at the ceiling as I stated "You're telling me. I've known her for at least 6 years and she has never once acted like this."

Jaune was silent for a moment before asking "Was there some other time she acted similarly?"

I dropped my head when he asked. I was hoping I wouldn't have to bring this up again. But it seems I have no choice. "Once back at Sanctum, but that was when we were first going out." I started.

Jaune tilted his head and waited for me to continue.

I took a deep sigh as I told him "She was bullied all her life, people kept on pushing her down in many ways. She felt like people just didn't really like her. Until someone defended her. For now I'll call this person Nilla, just for the sake of anonymity. She and Nilla after that were almost inseparable except for a few times. But they always made it up in the end."

Jaune nodded and asked "Then you came into her life right?"

I couldn't help but smile as I responded "Yeah, I then showed up. It was during class where we met. We were both equally annoyed at our classmates. After that we started hanging out more and more. Eventually we fell in love. And one dare from one of my friends later we were together. Though that should have been our happily ever after it wasn't. There were people who kept trying to break us up. Including this one girl that slapped my ass."

Jaune reeled back after I said that. He then asked "Why?" He asked as if he had to go through this as well.

I shrugged "I don't know. Though from what she told me, she knew we were dating. So I guess she was flirting with me. But I left that behind when I moved here."

"Huh…" He started. He then shrugged and continued "Who knows. Women work in mysterious ways."

"Pfft" I retorted "You were just having a cutsy moment with your girlfriend in there not two hours ago." I retorted pointing into the room.

Jaune then rubbed the back of his head with a guilty smile. His smile then faded before saying "Hey sorry for what I said. I guess I was stressed."

I waved dismissively as I said "Dude, don't worry about it. I already forgot it. I should apologize for saying I'd shove you into an Ursa."

He smiled at me and said "It's alright. You were worried about her. I understand."

"Good." I said as I lent myself against a wall. He then looked away from me.

Wait is that… Is Jaune blushing?

He then looked back at me "Hey, can I uh... ask you something?"

I then smirked "Didn't you just?"

He rolled his eyes "Haha" He then looked back at me "I'm serious"

I kept my smirk up as I said "Hi serious, I'm Achilles."

He gave a small chuckle "Ok man enough of the dad jokes please."

"Sorry" I said barely containing my laughter "Couldn't help myself."

He then shrugged, he then said "In all seriousness. I do need your advice on something."

I raised an eyebrow "Alright, what is it?"

He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at the door, presumably at Pyrrha. He looked like he was gathering his words before saying "It's about Pyrrha." He started "I… want to… you know.." He said as if he were embarrassed to say.

But I got the gist of what he wants.

I chuckled "You want to do her right?"

He jumped back "How can you say that so shamelessly?!"

I chuckled more "Well, I have been in a relationship for 6 years remember? It's not a shameless act." I explained with a shrug. "It's natural. However, with that said. I would wait until at least half a year to a year before asking her about sex."

"Oookaaay?" He said reeling his head back "But how will I know it's the right time to… do it?"

I shrugged "That is up to only you two. Rose and I did it about three months after we got together." I explained.

Jaune raised his eyebrow "Three months? That sounds a bit faster than what you told me."

"Well Jaune-y boy, it's all about the trust." I explained "And she trusted me enough to trade our v-cards at that point."

Jaunes eyes widened in concern "Again, you act like it isn't that big a deal."

"Oh don't get me wrong." I started "It is a big deal. Be prepared to dedicate your life to her once you trade each other's v-cards. And I hope for your sake, you plan to marry her once you're old enough."

Jaune looked away deep in thought. I bet he never really thought of marriage.

Hell Joce and I normally act like a married couple from time to time. Other than right now where she seems to be pulling an Anakin Skywalker. Minus the weird hatred of sand. Oh and executing children.

"You know, You and Rose are very similar when it comes to your senses of humor." Jaune noted.

I looked at him with an eyebrow raised "How so?"

Jaune shrugged as he stated "Well you and her told the same 'didn't you just' joke when I wanted to ask a question."

That part I cannot deny, sometimes she laughs at the same thing for days on end. Some days it's enough to make me smile. Other times it is rather annoying. But regardless we have one thing in common, our dad jokes "Well she always did love my jokes. I guess she copies me from time to time." I speculated.

Jaune looked at me confused and asked "So she thinks you're funny?"

I shrugged "Well, only she thinks that, I do know a few good jokes here and there."

Jaune smiled and said "Well I guess that's the good part about you. You see the light in the darkest of people"

Well except for Cinder, but that is for my own reasons. But I won't be saying that out loud. I simply answered "Trust me, There are people on my shit list."

Jaune was surprised at that statement. He seemed to take a moment to process things before asking "But… you're so forgiving. And calm. Why?"

I shrugged and answered "Some people just wanna be assholes, so I ignore them and move on."

"Hm…" Jaune said looking back out at the opposite wall to us.

For the rest of the time we had been looking out, it was silent other than a few small conversations here and there. Eventually Pyrrha and Yang took mine and Jaune's place. And I immediately fell asleep when my head hit the pillow. However I had another dream.


A news anchor was talking about the crash of that plane we were on. It seemed to have already been discussed as I only caught the end of it

"- With no clear answers and nearly a hundred bodies recovered thanks to some passing fishermen, The NTSB will be conducting an investigation into why it was flight 718 seemingly tore itself apart mid flight." She said as I looked behind me to see my parents, my mother with tears in her eyes and my dad looking at the ground somberly.

He was holding my mother while my brothers looked at them confused.

My dad shoo'd them away and told them they'd talk to them later.

I then was pulled through the roof and it felt like I was flying somewhere. It was only after a few minutes of flight I realized where I was, this was where my sister lives with her husband. I was then falling.

Soon I was in their living room and I saw her having a good time playing Stardew Valley with her husband… Until I saw that my mother was calling his phone.

Must have been a few minutes or something.

I don't really know. After she said hello and asked what's wrong, his face went pale.

He then handed it to my sister.

I couldn't hear what they were saying. All I know is that she had just received the news of my demise.

Her husband hugged her tight as she bawled her eyes out. I tried to put my hand on her shoulder only to have it phase through her.

Oh yeah… that's right, I'm an apparition or something… I lent near her computer screen to which it started fuzzing out.

It startled me not gonna lie. But I wanted to experiment. Maybe this will help in some way. I then waved my hand in front of it and the static followed my hand. I backed it away and the screen returned to normal.

I then got an idea. I managed to find a way to manipulate her character to write out a message.

Hopefully this will work. I then backed away to make sure it would be seen. I nodded and tried to get her attention. She looked behind her, I knew she could see ghosts, so I tried to gesture to her computer. To the message I wrote, 'Watch RWBY' I'm hoping what I did will change the cannon in some way.


I then awoke. Everyone else was getting ready to move out, getting their weapons. Loading them, etc etc. I sat up and realised I had tears coming out of my eyes. I quickly wiped them and tied my weapons to my belt.

Weiss then noticed me and approached me "Good morning Achilles" She greeted "Is everything alright?"

I turned my back to her and wiped my eyes once more before putting my glasses back on. "It's nothing, just… a dream." I stated "Come on, we need to get going."

As we walked through the tunnel, the others were talking about what to do when we encountered those things again when Keoth and Aaron tapped my shoulder.

Aaron looked at me worried "Hey dude, Are you ok?"

"You kinda seem depressed" Keoth finished.

I held my own arms and shook my head "It's nothing guys, really." I sped walked ahead of them out of their reach.

Unfortunately they are persistent and know when I'm not acting as normal.

Even Weiss looked back at me concerned. I don't know why she would, she doesn't know about the family and friends I left behind.

I looked at Aaron and sighed. "I… had another vision…" I said quietly and somberly. "This time it was…" I couldn't bear to finish my thought. I could barely control my tears as it is right now.

Aaron and Keoth looked at each other and nodded "It's alright, you don't have to describe it. I think I know what you're talking about." Aaron said putting a hand on my right shoulder

Keoth then put his hand on my left "Yeah, we're here, that's all that matters."

I took a deep breath and sighed again trying to calm myself down. I'm still trying to process what I saw in my vision. My parents, my brothers, my sister. It was showing me something. But I don't fucking know what, and it's driving me crazy!

I then ran into Yang and backed up in surprise. Yang was looking at me with concern. She then looked at the others "Hey you guys go on ahead. Achilles and I need to talk."

And like that I am now more anxious than I am depressed. Like I've said before I've never been a good liar. So the fact all of my lies have been working has me a little on edge lately.

Hell even IRONWOOD was convinced somehow. So Yang wanting to talk to me means she is suspecting something now. And I am not sure I'm ready for her questions. And from the looks that Keoth and Aaron are giving me, neither are they. But the rest of the group nodded as they went on ahead.

I shot Aaron a glance of pure terror without Yang noticing somehow. He then went on ahead with a shrug. Traitor.

So here Yang and I are walking side by side where she says "I know something is troubling you lately."

I then replied quietly "Yeah, Rose and I broke up. What am I not allowed to be depressed because of it?"

She shook her head "It's not just that, I know it." She started "Ruby has the same look whenever she visits mom's grave."

Oh right… she would notice someone looking like they're grieving.

She then asked "Is it about your sister?"

Well thank god she gave me that to go off of, because I have no idea how to respond with the other stuff. "Y-yeah, something like that. It's been a challenge learning about her demise. And the fact I didn't know about it until now..."

She tapped my shoulder and I looked at her. She was smiling sweetly as if she was trying to say 'it's alright'. She then said "Hey I think your parents didn't tell you because they just wanted you to be at your absolute best… even though you're 21 and going to Beacon Academy which mostly has 17 to 19 year olds." She stated.

I narrowed my eyes at her "Gee thanks for the uplifting message." I deadpanned

She giggled then said "Sorry, I had to point that out."

I groaned, while I did Yang pointed out "You know you kinda sound like my uncle when you groan like that."

I rolled my eyes and said "So I've been told."

She then put her hand on my back, which is a very sensitive area only my fiance has been allowed to touch. So Yang putting her hand on my back sent shivers up my back making me reel my back away from her hand.

She reflexively took her hand away. "What was that about?" She asked.

"Well…" I started "My back is very sensitive, I don't really let many people touch it. Especially my lower back." I explained with a shrug.

She nodded and looked over at Ruby. "Well back to the subject at hand." She started "You've been very quiet lately," She then looked back at me "Aside from when you fight, you haven't been talking to any of us for the past few days while we're on this mission. I just want to see if we did anything wrong and cheer you up." She said as she put her hand on my shoulder.

I sighed "Like I said before, I'm mostly upset that Rose broke it off with me."

Out of my peripheral vision I could see she was barely buying it. Crap. "Achilles" she said as her grip on my shoulder tightened "I know you're not saying everything. So come on, spill it."

Okay first of all OW her grip is crushing my shoulder, I'm pretty sure my aura is the only thing keeping it from shattering completely. And second I'm not sure how to say that I left my actual family and friends behind when I fucking died in that plane crash. Ugh, I guess I have to be vague again. "I wish I could put it into words Yang, but the dream I had last night was... uncertain."

She tilted her head "Another one of your visions?" She asked. Oh right, I did make that excuse back in Mountain Glenn.

So I will take this opportunity to make sure I don't accidentally come out as an alien from Earth.

I nodded "Yes, but this time it was deliberately vague, the image of a red eye glowing amongst a sea of mutated grimm. And one larger than those mutated beowolfs we encountered yesterday."

Yang looked at me with abject horror "What?" Was all she was able to ask

I shrugged "I didn't want to demoralize anyone. So please don't mention this to the others."

Yang nodded and fixed her gaze back at Ruby and then Aaron. "There's one more thing. Could you do me a favor?"

I looked over at her, then at Aaron, then at Ruby. Oh no. "That depends on what the favor is that you are asking for."

Yang returned her attention to me and said "Last night I noticed that Ruby was cuddling your friend Moon."

… Wait she wasn't just saying that because of the badassery he displayed in the underground? Oh… oh no. "Yeah, I kinda noticed this morning that she was talking to him. I just assumed it was about his weapons."

Yang nodded "Yeah, that was what they were talking about. But I get the feeling Ruby has feelings for him."

And now to drop a bomb "Yang, he's about 25. Not to mention, like me, he sees Ruby as a daughter he never had. Not to mention she's 15, he won't try anything if he knows what's good for him."

That made her confused "Just how many years were you all held back?"

"I am legally not allowed to answer that question." I retorted. "Contact my lawyer for any inquires."

She was silent for a moment as if processing what she just heard before saying "Oh Gods."

I shrugged as I heard Jaune yell something about more ancient gates. Aaron looked over at me. He then started breaking pots.

I know exactly what he is planning. "Aw hell naw!" I said as I drew my sword. I then charged at a nearby pot and slashed at it.

It went on like this for some time until Keoth yelled "Hey guys! I found it!" He then waved it above his head.

Aaron and I crossed our arms.

"Cheater." I said

Keoth looked at me offendedly "Well it was just on the ground here! Not like it was in a pot or anything." He defended. He then put the key into the left door. "Now if you two are done bitching, let's go."

Aaron and I looked at each other then we followed, as did everyone else. Eventually we came to a terrace where we all looked out from. We saw a ship with the Merlot Industries. I reported to Oobleck

"Hey Doctor, We seem to have found a ship belonging to Merlot." I said as Yang snapped a picture to send to Oobleck.

Oobleck seemed to study the picture for a short time before saying Oh dear, this implies that Merlot Industries is still operating. I need you students to investigate the ship. Get as close as you can.

I then noticed a path leading directly to the docks. "Well ain't that convenient." I mumbled "Hey guys, let's follow the path." I said as I drew Porfyrós Drákos. "And let's keep our weapons drawn. I get the feeling we're going to encounter heavy resistance thanks to the grimm." Everyone nodded as they all drew their weapons. Various sounds of clicking, wirring, and transformations later we were on our way.

As expected, there were grimm. Lots of them, including those kamikaze mutated grimm and the mutated beowolfs. And we hacked, slashed, punched, and shot our way through. Not gonna bore you with the details because it honestly feels like we're encountering grimm every 30 seconds. Anyway, we found our way into this building where when we went inside we found grimm caged up in these specialized boxes.

Jaune was the first to break the silence. "Guys… how did they…"

"- Lock these grimm up?" Pyrrha finished. Oh they're already finishing each other's sandwiches. I mean sentences, damnit Frozen.

I put my hand on the cage wall and a creep tried to charge at me only to fail and bounce off it "Grimm can't survive captivity right?" I asked.

I mean, it was explained in a World of Remnant but I have seen two instances where a grimm could be kept. One of which is now in Grimm Eclipse. The other was volume three where the White Fang transported an Ursa in a bullhead.

Besides that, I heard Ruby yell something like "Hey guys, you might wanna look here!"

Weiss, Blake, Yang, and I joined her side, alongside JNPR and Aaron, Rose, and Keoth. We saw a bunch of grimm. Like a comical amount. I looked at everyone then said "Well, we're not letting them live are we?" while I drew Kronos and Rhea.

I looked over at Rose who rolled her eyes and drew Rose Thorns.

Aaron drawing Judas Priest's blades.

And Keoth his weapon. I'll have to ask him what he named it later.

Anyway. Everyone drew their weapons and we started the fight.

Ruby used her semblance and grabbed me tossing me up in the air allowing me to do a bullet rain on some grimm, giving the rest a space to jump down at.

I then holstered Kronos and Rhea in favor of having Porfyrós Drákos out.

I scanned the room then came up with a plan, "Hey, I've got an idea. Each team takes care of the grimm in front of us. Should save time."

Aaron stared down a beowolf that was approaching as he said "That is the best goddamn idea you've had all week."

RWBY and I exchanged looks and we all nodded. "Alright then. Ruby call it." I said getting into a ready stance.

"Checkmate!" Ruby shouted as Weiss and Blake ran forward.

She then looked at me and Yang. "Sunny Dragon!" She said.

Which only means one thing. I looked at Yang as she readied her rocket form on her gauntlets.

I struck the ground with my sword causing sparks that then ignited my blade. I slashed forward as Blake and Weiss jumped clear.

Yang fired her rockets at the same time which caused a pretty big AOE damage that took quite a few grimm.

Unfortunately that was quickly replaced by more.

Ruby then called out "Freezer Burn!" Which is Weiss and Yang's attack. For this, Weiss prepares a time dilation glyph on Yang and then she goes and punches all the things while Wiess covers her back end.

Blake and I looked at each other as we stabbed our grimm "Time for Black Dragon?" I asked.

Ruby nodded "Black Dragon." She replied as Blake and I prepped for our attack.

She flung Gambol Shroud at me and I took the other end.

She then yanked me towards where Yang and Weiss were fighting. I then stuck my sword out as my blade passed through what felt like thousands of grimm.

All of the ones my blade hit evaporated almost instantly. And as the hordes died down we looked around. Jaune then said "So… is that all?"

I then remembered that there was a boss that had a delayed appearance. Sometimes it glitches out and never shows, but this time I'm not on the other side of the screen.

"No, There's something coming." I said to the others. Just then the mutated beowolfs came.

You read that right, beowolfs, plural, meaning more than one.

How many were there I hear you ask? Well there were not just two, not three, but four goddamn mutated beowolfs.

And I just remembered that there is a software in the game that adjusts the amount of grimm to the amount of players. So that may be what is happening here.

But FOUR?! Really?

I looked over at my team and Ruby gave me a look like she had a plan.

"Jaune!" Ruby yelled.

"What?!" Jaune yelled back.

"We'll have at least three of us on each of these green grimm!" Ruby yelled

Jaune nodded agreeing with the plan. He then looked at Rose who was still pointing her Rose Thorns in crossbow form at them. I joined her side with Aaron. "Just like old times?" I said.

She sighed annoyed and said "Whatever. We have a common goal anyway."

Aaron looked like she was going to argue. But I shot him a glance that said 'We'll discuss it when we don't have any mutated grimm to worry about.'

Aaron sighed as he transformed his blades into their revolver form.

It has occured to me that I haven't described how it does this well enough. So I will explain in a way he told me a while back. So the handle is part of the revolver and the trigger goes into the gun part itself. The chamber of the revolver is still visible, but the barrel hides itself inside a certain part of the mechanism. So for Aaron to get the revolver, he pressed a button on the handle and it pops out, then rotates. As it rotates the trigger comes out and is released from the safety.

Then it goes back into his hand.

With that out of the way, I pulled out Rhea.

I then looked back at Rose and Aaron. "Let's go for the one in the back on the right."

They nodded and we rushed in, dodging an attack from the one in front.

I then struck the ground again creating another spark, igniting my blade once more. I then slashed at the mutated grimms feet.

Aaron then jumped above me to shoot its face as Rose slashed at the arm attacking her.

Aaron teleported to the beast's shoulder and shot its face five more times before jumping away.

It then slammed the ground creating a green wall that we jumped clear from. I then sheathed Porfyrós Drákos and drew Kronos.

I shot the beast until my gun was empty.

The smith was only able to make the internal magazine on my gun hold about 10 rounds each. I plan on upgrading it sometime soon.

But for now this will do. I then pulled clips out of my ammo pouches that I had prepared ahead of time before this mission. And both landed inside the mechanism that had access to the internal magazine in the center of the guns. I had designed it to be easier to load for me when I decide to go full John Wick. I then slammed both together loading both guns with ease and flicking the clip off. And then I caught the priming devices together and pulled them in opposite directions and released them, putting the bullets into the barrels.

I then put them away and drew my blade, and pointed it at the beast. Smirking as I dodged a swipe.

I then counter-attacked and sliced the paw off.

It backed up and howled in pain.

Aaron and I drew our guns and fired at it at the same time as I said "Jackpot."

Once the mutated grimm fell and disintegrated. Aaron and I locked eyes.

Aaron said "You need to stop saying that. You aren't Dante."

I shrugged "I do what I want."

He gave an annoyed sigh.

I glanced behind me to see that Ruby, Yang, and Weiss were still fighting theirs. I looked to my right to see Keoth, Nora and Ren still fighting theirs.

With Keoth slamming his weapon against the kneecap of the grimm. And Jaune, Pryrrha and Blake fight theirs. Looks like the grimm are wearing out.

Time to finish off ours to help our team. I looked over at Aaron and said "Remember GTA online?"

Aaron looked at me confused at first then seemed to understand then nodded "Blood Moon then?" He asked.

I nodded and repeated "Blood Moon it is."

Jocelyn looked at us confused. "What are you two planning?" She asked coldly.

I smirked at her "Just sit back and watch sweet-cheeks." I said in a snarky manner.

Aaron then charged at the beast as it attacked. His revolvers were put away in favor of his blades. The Grimm swiped and he stabbed it and managed to keep it still. "NOW!" he yelled.

I jumped over him and slashed the grimm's head clean off.

I then landed in the superhero pose. Yes it was hard on my knees but it was worth it. I got up and looked around. I noticed everyone else was having problems dealing with the grimm.

I looked back over at Rose and Aaron and said "Help them!"

Rose rolled her eyes annoyed as Aaron nodded.

I charged in to help Ruby, Weiss and Yang. I slashed at the back of the beast's knees causing it to fall to the ground.

Ruby looked at me in confusion.

"Our grimm died, reinforcing everyone else." I reported.

She nodded and gave a small chuckle "Look at you acting like part of the team." She said.

I rolled my eyes as I joined their side "Aren't I always?" I heard the grimm roar as it tried to get up.

I looked at Ruby, then Yang, then Weiss and then back at it and said "Keep it pinned."

Weiss and Ruby went off in separate directions as the grimm slammed its hand into the ground.

Yang blocked the attack and used that to charge her semblance.

She then charged in and slammed her fist across the grimms face making it fly into a nearby pillar.

It recovered quickly but Weiss and Ruby stabbed both of its paws rendering it unable to get back up. I then walked up to it as Ruby, Weiss, and Yang just watched.

I then smirked and said "Little wanderer. Hie thee home." I then stabbed it in the face.

As it evaporated, the group looked at me funny.

"What?" I asked.

"What was that about?" Yang asked.

I shrugged "Just something I thought of on the fly." I replied. I then looked at the others.

They looked like they still needed help.

Looking over at Ruby, she and I played rock paper scissors.

She had rock, I had scissors. "Alright, I guess I'll take Yang and you take Weiss then."

Ruby nodded, we then parted ways as Yang and I charged in to help Rose, Jaune, Pyrrha, and Blake. With little time we managed to kill the mutated grimm.

And as Yang slammed the last one into a wall it crumbled revealing a way out.

Ruby yelled "Let's go guys!" And we all nodded as Jaune said "What she said."

We managed to get close.

I then noticed an empty crate.

I looked at my team and pointed to it. "We should probably make our way in there." I whispered.

Jaune looked at us from the other side. Ruby nodded and darted her way over to him with her semblance to tell him the plan.

We rushed over to the crate when we saw that a crane was about to pick it up.

I unsheath my sword and used the guard to close the doors before we were discovered on the ship itself.

I then sheathed it and held on to anything for dear life. We also heard Oobleck calling out for us over our coms.

But was cut short after we were on the ship. I opened the door a crack to see robots manning the ship.

I shut it and told everyone else quietly "We need to remain here. We don't know where this ship is going." And like that I felt the ship moving. God I hope I don't get seasick. It happened before while playing Sea of Thieves with my friends. But besides that, I have no idea where we will end up. I mean, I have an idea, but I'm not going to make assumptions.


Author's note

I am so thankful for you guys who support me. Also I am still working on making a p-atreon account, but due to November and December being the busiest goddamn months of the year for my store, yeah… Regardless, I hope this has helped you escape the tomfuckery that is 2020.
