Author pow:

I know I didn't make this before but please, whoever reads it, make reviews. They don't even have to be positive, I just need to decide about what to do (for details, check beginning of chapter 16) and want to know what I did here good and what I did here bad. So once more, please review.

Maken pow:

- "Damn! She's really desperat!" - I thought as I chased Blake on rooftops of Vale urban zone. - "Lucky I'm as fast as her, while still being better at jumping, tight turns and city navigation, otherwise I've be screwed." - I continued my monolouge, while jumping over next alleway after a girl.

I ran after her for like, twenty minutes, when I spotted third person go after her from opposite side. - "Let's see, full black suit, white mask with red decorations, red longsword, lacks space for left eye. Must be Adam T." - I quickly thought as I dashed forward after landing on another roof. Then I jumped up againg and took a quick Look on stranger, now standing only two building away from me, standing slightly at my right with sniper rifle in his hands. - "Crap! I got to tackle him now!" - I realized in no time his plan, as I took out my mace and throw it at him - (My rocket launcher was left in locker back at Beacon.). Intruder was struck in right wrist, which cause him to drop his weapon and tumble backwards. - Stop in the name of justice! - I shouted to red haired man as I landed in front of him and took my mace back in hands, ready to fight.

- Justice? You are one of the monster that take that away from us! - He retored, taking his sword in hand and standing in still position as if he was in a honourable duel.

- You're right about taking justice from your kind, and I realize your approach to faunus that try to live a normal life, and that's why you don't have the right here. - I replied to him, giving him analytical look. - "From what Blake told me, his semblance makes him acumulate power in holded weapon and unleash it on his enemies. But as long as I will dodge his attacks and make only clear strikes on him, I'm in home." - I thought as I make a few steps to my left and picked up sniper rifle. - Let's end this Taurus! Duel of the fates! - I confronted his with possionate voice.

- So be it. - Said Adam with vengeful spite, before we simultaniously charge at eachother and began a duel. I quickly sidestepped Adam's frontak attack and hit him with all my strenght in left ribs, at which he did the same, making stream of blood go out of my hip. Then I make a single shot from sniper rifle, penetrating his aura and torso, while he simultaniously cut a long line along my whole left side, almost reaching th ribs. Shortly after, whole place was covered in blood as we kept attacking eachother like Grimm does.

Violently.

Blake pow:

- "Not now, not now, not now! Why he had to came NOW?" - I panicked as I turned around and saw Maken fight with Adam. Fight consisted of constant slashing of weapons at eachother with ocassional shot from a sniper rifle held by Maken. - "I have to go as far as I can, but I can't just let MY problems hurt others..." - I mentally sobbed as the blood was spill out all over the rooftop that was taken to be arena. - "And it's all my fault." - I continued to be mad at myself while a helicopter flew from behind me and turned his attention on the fight.

Narrator pow:

- We are ending our current program to make a live relation from a centre of Vale, where we are a spectators of a fight between Adam Taurus, leader of terrorist organization known as White Fang and a first year student of Beacon Academy known as Maken Pedington. - Said News presenter, as whole screen was covered in live relation showing a current fight between two young man.

(Team RWBY dorm)

- Ewww! There's blood everywhere! - Sqeak Ruby, taken aback by violent show presenter on her scroll.

- So that's what the guy Blake constantly hangs up with can do? She hit a jackpot on this one. - Added Yang, impressed by feriocity shown by fighters.

- Ugh! Whatever! Why are you two still care about her? She's practically out of our team. - Scoffed Weiss, unintrested in what was happening.

- Weiss, with us or not, she's our teammate. And I know you can not be mad at her over this, because she already told me that you failed the challange. - Quickly retored Yang, now completley serious.

- All right, all right. You win. - Said Weiss with disappointmen, unamused by her teammate behavior.

(Meanwhile, Ozpin's Office)

- This is serious! I'm going there now. - Informed Glynda, as she exit my office.

- This year has already crossed all of my expectations on almost all levels that he could, but now I have pleasure to see a duel that even maidens couldn't stood up to. - Said to himself Ozpin, as he watched the fight progress forward. - Let's find out how much are you ready to give for your goals, young boy. - He added deviously, making an impressive job at impression as if he was a villain in some sort of story.

Maken pow:

- "My left arm is unusable by now, and sniper rifle is in pieces." - I thought as I stepped backwards to dodge slash attack from Adam. - "I can't use bakugans or ability cards because it will take away fact of bakugan exustance. But trying to out score him in war on dectruction isn't good choice either since I don't have usable semblance by now." - I continued to look for option while blocking multiple hits from opponent with mace. -" I have to hold this... I have to..." - I began to mumble in my mind while Adam pushed me onto defence, Just a step away from the edge that end the roof and begins the air.

- Any last words, human scum? - Asked Adam, as he prepared to execute charged stabbing attack.

- W-Y-M-WRYYYYY!!! - I roared like a angry rat after a while of gibberis, as I dashed forward, making Adam jump backwards in fear.

- No. More. Pain. From. You. - I recited with pauses in deep voice, making a hin in the haid after each word. Leaving Adam unable to speak. - Now, better if I get back to Beacon, police is already coming. - I thought, as I ran into one of lone spots in the city to teleport in peace and disgression.

(Timeskip, an hour later, Beacon Academy, Maken's dorm.)

- Please come in. - I said softly to person behind my door, as I lied on my bed covered in bandages.

- Hi... - Replied to me Blake, as she and Ozpin entered my dorm.

- Well mister Pedington. Before we continue, I want you to know that your friend gave me wide explanation on what happen here and generally in past, so you can trust me when I say that you didn't commited a crime and I won't expell you. - Said our Headmaster, tuning his head for a while to Blake while I still lied on bed, thinking of right answer.

- That's unexpected, but I'm greatful for your mercy anyways. - I replied in servile tone, trying to dodge possible details.

- No need to panic, you're very promising student after all. - Said Ozpin, leaning his head forward. - But that's off topic. I will leave you two alone for now, wish you two good night. - AmHe added, as he exit the dorm and closed the door.

- I have some explaining to do. - I immedieatly said to Blake, making a face of defeat.

- I'm no longer that ferocious scared girl you befriended back then. - She replied shortly, making me suprised. - But yeah, a grown-up talk will do more good than bad.

Timeskip, twenty-five minutes later)

- I see it now, goodnigth y'all. - Said Griffon, as he and Ravenoid came back to our respective cases.

- So to sum it up: You are still afraid of Adam coming after you, even if he's in prison by now? - I asked Blake as we lied on my bed close to eachother, both in pyjamas.

- Yes. I mean no. *sigh* I don't know anymore. - She replied, completley lost and sad. - I just always wanted to make people stay away from me so they won't get hurt. But I failed and you almost died. - She added, looking at the ceeling.

- And I'm proud of it. - I replied without second thought, making her shake head a few times in suprise. - My ideals on what friend or team should be is about hepling eachother, especially in time of desperate need. - I gave her a lecture on my life philosophy, while she looked at me in ave. - Getting hurt or maybe even taking a bullet to the head for you is for me the essance of what I consider to be a good person. Griffon helped me when I was spoiled brat and that's why he's my guardian instead of anyone else. - I continued, now in sitti g position. - And the same goes to you and everyone else in our group towards everyone; we help eachother, live with eachother and protect eachonter. And of you think that you are exception for any reason then you're not stupid, you're just wrong. - I ended my speech with heavy voice, as my muscles gave up and I had to put myself on bed again.

And then all of a sudden, this happen:

- Umm, what are you doing right now? - I asked Blake after a minute of silence as she put her head on my cheast for some reason.

- You know... I thought about it and I'm sorry ok? - She answered me, with red blush all over her face. - For all this time I never took that look on who I am and what should I do with myself. And now all I can say is: You're strong enough as it is, so please don't push yourself and let me help. - She ended while moving her head up to my chin.

- You just want to be petted, aren't you? - I asked her, previously nodding that I understood whay she said.

- N-No. I just want to give away for all you did to me. - She stuttered a little, now completley embarresed.

- Okay then, I guess I'm obligated to do so. - I ended the cinversation and began the thing.

(Somewhere around the same time, team RWBY dorm)

- What do you think Maken and Blake do now? - Asked Ruby, as she exit the bathroom.

- I'm sure they havea lot of fun. - Replied Yang, preparing for a quick nap on her bed.

- I just hopes that Weiss would accept it... - Added Ruby, going to her bed.

- She just is that way, earlier or later she will see what it is all about. - Replied her older sister, throwing a pillow at her. - Also, this pillow is yours.

- Thank you sis! - Added Ruby before jumping on her bed.

Weiss pow:

- "I'm so lucky we were given longer brake after first mission than we should have. Same can be said about fashion advice and cost cover from Klaus, since my father is still unstable source of income. " - I thought while walking down the street in my ankle long dark dress specially taken for this ocassion."If people as isolated from others like Blake or Maken and their random goons can team up to do big things, then I surely can do better with skills I have!" - I thought, as I turned towards one of local nightclubs. - "But now, I need to present myself to everyone who were kicked jobless after Torchwick got departured." - I ended my thought, as I opened the door to come into what Vale had to offer for a night.
