" ...In other news, Dawn enterprises has been targeted yet again by the Schnee Dust company. This time they have filed a lawsuit against one of the employee's stating that he harassed his wife and children while in Vale. Jacques Schnee had this to say."
" Canis Slate has been stalking and sexuly harassing my wife and my daugters. One of which is not even six years old and the other is hardly even ten! The faunas low life tried to take them to Dawn enterprises to share with his boss!" he kept yelling and accusing.
" We asked for a response and both John Mendez and Canis Slate had this to say."
" Both my employee and I did run into Mrs. Schnee and her daughters. We talked and seemed to have a pleasant conversation about anything and everything. Not once did Canis or my self make a move nor did we follow them…"
" Mrs. Schnee followed us around. Saying that she was looking for friends and knew that my boss was a good person. As for myself, she even said that I was one of the nicest faunas she ever met and, get this, apologise for her husband's actions." Canis said interrupting John. He gave a quick and quiet apology to his boss.
" We tried to confirm their stories but Jacques denied us saying she was traumatized to talk to us."
A feminine sigh was heard as the women shut off the TV. As she turned to her bed we see that she had white hair that fell to her mid-back, ice blue eyes that once held a kindness and compassion that she saw her father held, now dull with a lounging to be anywhere but where she was. Willow Schnee unceremoniously flopped down onto her bed and groaned out of not just boredom, but frustration and a ever growing anger towards her husband.
The brother and sister duo did not deserve the treatment Jacques was giving them. He did not believe in competition. He wanted to dominate everything in life. She should know. She witnessed it first hand as his wife. What Jacques had said was a load of bull. Once he took HER right to inherit the copony, he did everything in his power to cripple or straight up takeover other companies. This was the same thing he was doing to Dawn. He was going at them hard because he could see profits plummeting. If the people used other means of power, dust would be obsolete and that would mean he would no longer be the one in power.
Willow once found love and comfort in Jacques. Now however, she would kick him out in a heartbeat. But he had manipulated just about everything to the point that it looked like he was the son of Nicholas Schnee and Willow was an outsider. Her hands were metaphorically tied behind her back. His once charismatic and romantic personality, now a greedy and powerhungery monster that cared only about money.
When she ran into John, she was happy to not just meet the competition, but to also make friends. While Canis was apprehensive about her, he did warm up to her and see her as her own her and Weiss even caid that they were not what their father said they were like. He kept telling them that DAWN was pure evil and that John was a back stabbing crook that is known for breaking into people's homes and steals their money and enslaves them. While the two girls didn't understand what all was going on, they saw how happy their mother was so they watched and listened.
Winter picked up on subtle cues from not just the tree grown-ups, but the crowd as well. They gave a sincere respect too John and Canis. Weather it be a simple nod, hand, shake or even asking it he is hiring. IF John was supposed to be the head of a evil enterprise, people don't seem to care.
Willow asked if she could visit and just talk. Before he could give an answer, Jacques grabbed her and threatened to have John and his ' mut' shot for harassing his wife.
Friends. That is all she ever wanted. Friends to have and to confide in. Now, all her friends have alienated her or just up right left. She just wanted to feel wanted or needed.
Winter and Weiss were in school and Jacques, she would rather not see him. With nothing else to do she turned the news back on to see what else is going on in the world.
" The village of Dusk is looking to expand further to make room for more travelers. Unfortunately the October forest is teaming with grimm and bandit camps. With the projected radius to be an extra five klicks to clear. Eight teams of four have been hard at work, but progress has been slow with multiple setbacks from nests hidden in caves or underground nests, or hit and run attacks from bandits, slowing progress down even further." the news anchor said.
In another part of the world Raven was in a bar having a drink. Her men in the forests near dusk looting and pillaging travelers and even the village itself from time to time. The new supplies will bolster their dwindling supplies and weed out any weaklings in the world. The weak die, the strong survive. That was the way the world works. That is why she cut out any weakness in herself. Love was one such weakness. Love can be turned against you. You let yourself be vulnerable. You trust another person with your heart and feelings. Tai and Yang were one such weakness. So she cut it out. She left the two to themselves. It hurt to leave them. Her maternal instincts screamed at her to go back and to take care of her. She came so close to doing that. To be a mother and wife to Yang and Tai. She got as far a branch when she saw Tai and...Summer. Her teammate, friend, and leader had won the heart of Tai and to an extant Yang. That stung. She had nothing left here. No one to love or to care for. Betrayal is all she felt. Tai said that he would lover her and only her. She should have known that Summer would steal him from her. She even told her that she had feelings for him but was to scared of rejection. Now she had finally took what she wanted. Her man. Her daughter. Her love.
She slammed her drink and slammed the shot glass down. She raised her hand for a refill. She got it and downed it. She stared into the refilled glass in contemplation. Maybe she was being to hard on everyone. No. She had to be tough. There was no other way. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her red eyes gazing into the liquor in her glass. The Tv in the corner caught her eye. It showed team ST_Q at Dusk. Her team was here? THE WERE NOT EVEN A FULL TEAM?! What was that emortal fool thinking!? He is going to get them killed! She should be their with them. But she couldn't. If anything she would be against them to protect her tribesmen. She paid for her drinks and left deciding to at least " see " her leader, lover, and her brother. Standing outside she took off in her raven form. She flew to where they were and landed on a branch and just watched. Even without her she saw them work like a well oiled machine. Summer was hacking away at grimm with Tai beating down any that got in his path. Her brother like Summer, was hacking and slashing as well. The pain came back at seeing her leader and lover. They finished the grimm off no problem and she was about to leave and find another bar to drown her sorrow, when a group her men came and tried to kill them. Instead of jumping in she just watched.
" Hehehe, look it here boys, we got a team of huntsmen. What are they going to do huh? I doubt much." The leader said in a very cocky tone. The leaders eye landed on Qrow. His expression went from shock to anger. " Qrow. You TRAITOR!" He screamed.
Qrow just took a deep breath. " I left to better the world. Not destroy it. The tribe is full of murderers and thieves. If you were smart you would leave as well." He replied hoping to persuade them.
" Fat chance you huntsmen filth. We will kill your team and take you to our leader. YOUR twin sister. Oh she will be pleased. She would want to kill you herself." He spat.
Qrow sighed. " You brought this on yourself."
The bandits ganged up four on one. They knew just as she had, that they only way to win against a full fledge huntsman was to drastically out number them. A pang of regret ran through her heart. She knew that her men would use underhanded tactics. Poison, hidden weaponry, and using one of her teammates as shields or hostages. She watched as her teammates did what they could to hold them off. It was a contest of skill vs numbers. Summer was the first to get K.O.d. Multiple hits to the face and gut and the poison she got from a cut. She was wozey and could drop soon. While Raven did feel bad for ST_Q, she would be lying if seeing Summer in pain didn't bring some bit of pleaser. She was going to fly off when one of her men, out of know where flew back in a spray of blood. A loud BANG was heard from the tree line. The figger, from what she could tell, was tall and in heavy green armor. That was all she could see before he crossed the distance in seconds before he sholder bashed some one who was going to strike Tai in the back as he was fighting his share of four at once. He got to Tai and popped two more of the thugs making it two on two. ST_Q was a bit shocked with Summer even chuckling as he made his appearance uttering a ' your so fucked' comment before collapsing.
John had his trusted MA5C out and aimed right at the leaders chest as he spoke in a commanding authoritative tone. One word is all that he spoke. It was not the word itself that caught them. It was the tone. He spoke to them like they were nothing more than a nuisance.
" Leave."
To his credit, the bandits leader fully consider it. If the SPARTAN is here, they would need an army to take him down. Taking a quick look around the group leader gauged his ten teammates reaction and if they were up for taking on the a tank. Feeling confident enough to at least get him to retreat, he withdrew two hand cannons and sighted at the SPARTANS head.
" I think that armor would look better on me. Hehehe. Getem boys." he said.
The bandits left their fights with Summer and Qrow to gang up on the armored behemoth. John slung his rifle and with drew his combat knife. He blocked an incoming strike with is forearm and slashed the blade through the first guys throat. The thug clutched his throat in and attempt to stop the bleeding as he dropped to his knees. Using the momentum used in the swing he, he threw the knife right into the chest. Two down eight to go. He felt five shots hit his back and side. A gold flash shown with each shot as his shields took the brunt of it. The man with a rifle reloaded with a shocked expression. Apparently he had some high end ammunition if he managed to take his shields down to half with those shots. John withdrew his side arm and and in three quick shots dropped the rifleman's aura. One more to the head and he was down. Three down with seven to go. Taking the initiative he charged his forth target. A women with a sword and SMG. She had a fearful expression yet she fought for what she believed in. While John could respect that, she made the wrong choice choosing to fight for a group of murders and thieves. While he didn't enjoy killing fellow humans, and by extant the faunas, he had a duty to perform to protect the world from all threats. Both foreign and domestic. And this is one just example. She swung her sword in a diagonal slash with one hand and with the other she brought her own SMG to bear. The strike was deflected by the shields, draining them the a quarter charge. Her weapon discharging half of its magazine draining his shields even more with each shot. Alarms blared in his helmet signaling how close they were to failing. Giving a palm strike to her chin. She dropped to the ground cold cocked. The leader of the group fired his hand cannons in rapid succession depleting his shields and dining his armor. Taking the fallen woman's sword, he hurled it at his chest. A flash and a pop was herd as the shields gave out.
'Perfect. His aura is down, now it's just a matter of getting past that pesky armor. Aim for the visor, if that is what it is, perhaps.' the bandit leader thought as the sword bounced off of him with his aura taking the hit. He took a step or three back from shock and force of the throw.
With four down the others really started to gang up on the chief. Forgoing blades they brought out their firearms. The air lept away from The chief as what looked to be his aura flashed. A shimmer was seen as it crawled up his form, growing in intensity and just as quickly fading.
The six remaining bandits knew that meant something, what they didn't know. Making a decision the bandit leader made the one move that made sense at the moment. Fall back, regroup and take them when an opportunity presents itself.
When he gave the order, they fell back and regrouped. The Chief waited a second watching his motion tracker to see if there was any movement coming back around, and when satisfied that know one is coming back, he turned to Summer. She collapsed earlier and was now sweating profusely from the poison and was even cramping up. He knelt down beside her and checked her vital. Thankfully the poison didn't get too far into her system.
Tai knelt next him with a worried look that was mirrored by Qrow as he watched on. The Chief with drew a med-kit and dug around for something to stop whatever the poison could be.
" Is she going to be alright Chief?" Tai asked worried for his wife.
" From what I can tell, the poison didn't get to far into her system. She is still young and healthy enough that she can fight it all off on her own, but this will help her get through it faster." He said as he brought out some anti-venom. As he applied it to the wound he looked at Qrow who still had a worried look but, also a surprised look. He could not believe his eyes. He watched as he then with drew a patch and slapped onto her arm.
" What is that?" Tai asked looking at the now applied patch.
" A wake up stym. Think of it as having the effect of a whole pot of coffee in a single patch. She will be coming around in a few." He responded.
Tai looked shocked. He knew what his wife was like with a full pot in her system. But that was throughout a morning or day. Not at one shot at once.
" Your real." Qrow utterd. " I saw you on the news but never thought I would actually meet you."
" I am as real as the ground you are standing on." He said putting the med-kit back into a pouch.
" Still. You are like an enigma. You show up in some of the most dangerous missions, kill all the things, and just up and disappear. And you hardly talk to anyone. Even the press if you so happen to be in a populated area taking out a crime bosses, trafficking rings, or cartels." Qrow said still in awe. Ruby and Yang were going to flip when he told them this. A grown was heard as Summer gained consciousness. She brought a hand up and rubbed her eyes. She then shot up wide eyed and vibrating. Maybe the stim patch was not a good idea knowing her, she is going to probably go nuts right about….
She shot up and, somehow by means John still did not understand, went full chibi and was on the Chief examining him from head to toe, as well as his weapons, with excitement. She somehow managed to grab his rifle and let out a full auto burst into the woods killing something not human. An insane expression on her face as she went nuts as she killed grimm that she saw all of witch was done in under five seconds.
" I think I might have made a mistake." the SPARTAN deadpand.
" Imagine how I feel. I am the one who has to sleep with her." Tai groaned.
A chuckle was her as they turned to Qrow. He was shaking his head in amusement as Summer could be seen in the trees behind him for a split second firing the Chiefs rifle before seeming to teleport to another part of the woods.
If one could see under his helmet, John had the look of a man who knew he fucked up. And he was right. Summer was going to be riding this out for a while till the crash hit. He looked at Tai and asked him if she would snap out of whatever she was in or if he could calm her down. He said he would give it a shot but that he might have to resort to KOing her again.
Raven watched the sean play out. This SPARTAN was good. He was strong and swift and did not fuck around. She had a suspicion however that he was not going at full throttle. Sure this group from her tribe weren't exactly the strongest or smartest of the tribe. But they could hold their own. With twelve bodies split up into three, unless you were skilled enough to take on four by yourself, you would be whittled down. She knew that her team could do it but that was under controlled circumstances like doing a spar in the arena. Where honnor was upheld and cheapshots were frowned upon. Here in the real world however, it was a different story. Honnor was hardly a thing. It got in the way of doing a job. And rarely was it ever a fair fight. No medics to pick you up after a battle. Sure every student was given doses of reality through out their time at beacon. But most times it was not enough.
But this guy? He could handle himself. And he unknowingly caught her attention. It seemed like Tai and Summer ran into him at least once in the past. If their interactions were anything to go by. His armor seemed advanced enough to be from Atlas, yet it seemed so different. Like it was even more advanced than Atlas tech if that was even possible. It looked heavy from where she was perched but she was not certain of it. The flash they all saw could have been his aura. But to see it come back so fast? It had to be something else. Energy shields was just science fiction so it could not be that so what was it? Answers is what she needed. She needed to find out what made that armor work. It was full plate armor with a black suit under it and a full helmet and visor, but that had to weigh weigh what? Fifty pounds at the very most if it was steel but still that was flippen heavy to move around in the way he was fighting. So it had to have a power sources. But came another question. What did it have in the security Surly if it was a prototype it would have a failsafe system. If she could get her hands on that armor, she could take on Salem's forces and be confident of a victory. Even though Salem can't be killed it might give the tribe an ace in the whole. Even if she could not get the armor or weapons, she still wanted a warriors fight with this man. Why? To see if he not only could be recruited into her tribe, but maybe an ally as well if need be. But if she was going to be honest, she was happy to not be part of Summer's hyper state. That is one thing she did not miss about Summer Rose. Give her caffeine and she was gone. Sure Summer could have been annoying at times back in beacon, but she seemed to keep a child like behavior and a bit of that same innocence. But she did see the good in everyone and tried to help each person she could. Especially her team. She made sure they got homework done and studied. But also to enjoy themselves and have fun. She was like the kid sister everyone wanted. Tai even said as much. He saw her as not just the girl next door, but as a little sister as well. That made seeing the two together really difficult. If Tai saw her as a sister, then he should not have married and fathered a child with her. So did he lie? That had to be it right? He said that he only loved her, so how could he love Summer? She needed a distraction.
She saw Summer come back in a way that still made her smile and shake her head. She was bouncing up and down all giddy and smiling like she just won the world's biggest cookie. Tai and Qrow were shaking their heads with green boy waiting for her to give him his rifle back.
' you always were so childish. I can see why some people fell for you. I just wish Tai hadn't.' she thought as her red gaze fell upon the armored soldier. He might provide a distraction if he moves away from the group. Deciding to keep an eye on him, she moved to a higher branch to look down on. And watch she did. After he got back his rifle back from Summer of course. She listened in when he told them that he was going to go and help other teams. After quick farewells and a message from Ozpin that he wanted to have a chat, he headed out into the forest.
As the Chief moved through the forest, he used the aerial reconnaissance from the spy drones over head with markers for teams. He was approaching a team called S.T.O.N. On his march over to their approximate location however, his motion tracker picked up a fast moving object. He spun grabbing whatever it was that was attacking him and threw it. When he brought his rifle to bear, he was surprised to see it was a woman who tried to attack them. She had a red and black color pallet. She wore a low cut dress, red girdle belt with feathers interwoven through out, black leggings and heeled boots, fingerless gloves with red gauntlets and five beaded necklaces. The stand out thing however was the mask she wore. It looked like a grimm nevermore mask covering her face with her black hair hanging free.
They stared each other down waiting for the other to make the first move. The unknown women drew a red odochi held at a low ready.
" Identify yourself." the Chief ordered.
" Who I am is not important. I want to know how much you were holding back by. Plus a distraction from life would be nice. So show a lady a good time why don't you." She said.
The Chief did not have time to retort before she came at him with an overhead slash. Leaping under her right arm, brought his rifle up only for the mystery women to kick it out of his hands. With the momentum used in her kick, she whirled around with a horizontal slash to his head. Bringing up his arm, he deflected the blow and trapped her arm. She in turn brought herself up and wrapped her legs around his arm and tried to set him off balance. Try being eht key word. She strained and pulled but all she did was strain herself.
' ok that did not work out as expected. Plan B?' Raven thought But what is plan B? She was still working on that. The Chief flung her to the side. She hit the ground in a roll. She let go of her blade as to not impale herself on accident. What a way to go. Getting stabbed by her own sword would be humiliating to say the least.
She rose to a crouch and gave a quick shake of her head to clear it. This fight was proving to be what she wanted. A destrationfron. She couldn't help but to smile for a second.
" What is your game lady." The Chief asked.
Raven stood to her full height and looked him dead in the eye. Or supposedly in the eye. It was hard to tell with the visor.
" I watched you fight my men and even a civilian could tell you were holding back. I want to see you go all out." She said matter of factly, " that and you might come in handy as an ally in the future. Depending on the situation at hand. Oh and you are really showing me a good time. I needed this after the last few hours I had." The mystery women finished.
" I am not going to ally with bandits that murder and steal from hard working people who earned it."
" The weak die, the strong survive. That is the way it works. If they can't survive then they deserve to die." She said.
" Survival of the fittest." He stated.
" Yes. life is not for the weak. You have to be strong to withstand even the most basics of living." She recited as she readyed her weapon.
John really did not like what she was saying.
" You could be right, but I can tell you right now that I was in a fight with beings that made humanity weak in every since of the word. And we kicked their ass." He said flinging his knife right at her. On reflex she brought her blade across to block, but missed the green armored missile that was was the Chief. He swatted the sword aside and sent a right cross to her face shattering her mask. She gave a surprise and pained " oof " as the force threw her back hitting a tree.
She brought a hand to her mouth. It came away with a with a drop of blood. That strike nocked a good portion of her aura out but she was exhilarated. Her adrenaline was pumping, her breath came heavy, and she was starting to sweat. She was starting to have the time of her life. She could not help but smile.
She looked up. Her red eyes meeting the orange visor of the Chiefs. The smile was still on her face. But she still wanted to keep going.
" I hope you were not holding back hansom. I want a hard fight. I want a test. So give it to me." she demanded.
The Chief noted that she had a face similar to Yang's. Could this be Raven Branwen?
He didn't know and would rather not fight her with other peoples lives on the line. Running through his inventory, he found a small tracker tucked away in an ammo pouch. If he timed it right he can plant it on her and hunt her down later. Deciding to end this if possible, he readyed the tracker in one hand and with drew a cylindrical like object from his thigh plate. He flicked his wrist and a what sounded like a hissing cobra was herd as a two pronged blade of blue plasma was seen in his right hand.
" That is a nice looking toy you have thier. A duel it is then. May the best fighter win. Loser buys." She said grabbing her sword and giving a salute with it. They circled one another looking for an opportunity to strike. With a flick to position their respective blades, they went in.
Raven did a horizontal slash.
The Chief blocked with a forearm.
He went with a thrust.
She sidestepped.
He reversed the thrust into a slash.
She got behind him and slashed his back.
He spun and kicked her.
She jumped back, but not enough. She dug her heels in as her aura took the hit.
She brought a vertical slash down.
He parried it.
He got in her guard and deliverd a punch to the gut, and placed the tracker.
Ravens breath exploded from her lungs. She dropped to her knees as she dropped her sword and grabbed her stomach. She tried and tried drawing breath, but to little success. She half expected him to kill her then and their. But was surprised to find that he didn't. He powered off the sword and spoke to her.
" You fought well. That you can be proud of. But I am also disappointed in your life choices. Raven." he said catching her completely off guard.
' He knew her name? How?!' she screamed mentally.
" I also know that Tai would like answers as to why you ditched him and abandoned Yang." He continued.
That was a mental punch to the gut. Yang and Tai? How?!
" I am not going to kill you. Instead I want you to think long and hard about what you want to do next." He stated as he walked past her.
" Wait!" she managed to choke out when she got enough air in. He did so and turned to her as she slowly and shakely got to her feet. She looked at him still gasping for air as she held out a hand with her index finger raised to give her a second. When she felt like she could talk without gasping she spoke.
" A few things. One is that I owe you a drink." She said pointing to him, " Two, please, PLEASE, I know we just met and all and I have know idea who you are under that helmet, but pleas, don't harm my daughter. I may have left her and many may think I don't love her, but I do. I, I am just kind of a mess at the moment." She pleaded.
John held a sense of pity for her. It sounded like she loved her daughter and that she was trying to do sensible things and to protect her from things that people may not know. But at the same time, she left two heart broken people behind that don't know if she left out of spite, hate, or if she had a reason. That is something that she has to work on.
" Raven. I have met both Yang and Ruby. They both seem to be to good and pure for the world. They deserve the best people to teach and raise them. Summer and Tai are doing such a task with a few others to help them out. Rest assured that they are being looked after. But you need to get your act together and figure out how you want to be remembered by those you left behind." He told her.
She looked at him teary eyed. " I will. But I still owe you a drink and I have no idea on to even contact you." She told him.
" I will find you." was all that he said.
" Than I owe you not only a drink but a thank you. When we share that drink I hopefully will be able tell you what has been happening." She said with a sorrowful smile.
He nodded and retrieve his rifle and knife and then left.
She heard gunfire and the sound of grimm screaming in pain as the SPARTAN did what he did best.
She looked at the moon contemplating on her next move. She could not go back to a family lifestyle. With everything she knew about Ozpin's war with Salam, it would be best to avoid Tai and Yang for fear of them being a target. But it could be possible to paranet from a distance. Even have an indirect visit. Thoughts for another time. Maybe even discuss everything with this stranger.
Taking off she flew above the canopy of the forest and watched. She saw the SPARTAN work with other teams along with ST_Q. She saw him help wounded huntsmen or give them a boost. He would enter nests alone and scout it out and then set explosives to seal them in to just kill a bunch without using limited ammo.
She did last fly by over ST_Q to see how they were holding up. Summer had come off of her caffeine induced high and looked as if she was ready to collapse.
" I think we should head back. Let Summer get some rest." She herd Qrow say to Tai.
Tai agreed with a yawn and nod and started to head back to the village to get some food and much needed sleep. Raven turned towards town to find a place to sit and get a hot meal to contemplate and mull things over.
"... The white fang held another rally yesterday with the help of supporters and Dawn Enterprises. John Menez himself was their to welcome and to talk about unity and being united. This is a small clip from the rally."
" Faunas and human can coe-exist. This should be a prime example. Look around you" Ghira was saying as he spread out his hands. " here in this building should be proof enough. Both human and faunas in a place of harmony sponsored by a human that sees everyone as a person." Ghira said gesturing towards John with a hand as he took a step back to let John take the mic. John gave a nod and quit thanks before turning to the mic and talking.
" As Ghira had said, I don't see two species. I see one. Faunas are human with gifts. I have seen what racism can bring. Not just the obvious examples like slavery or excluding a people group, but how one's views can shape a generation. Children watch and imitate their elders in action as well as ideals, and rarely break away from what they have known." He said looking out among the crowd.
" Here we prove to the world that such a thing is possible and to not let those who have gone to extremes such as the suppremest thoughts of the avenging bulls or the fist of unity have gone to."
A growl was heard from two men in two different areas as they angrily shut off the TV. Akron Winchester and Gallen Toures were seething at what they saw. Humans and Faunas coe-existing? Yea right. That will never happen for reasons that each held. Akron only saw faunas as animals and slaves. They were a second rate citizen that should not hold any rights. Aside from cheap labor, they were not worth much aside from playthings or compost.
Gallen pretty much had the same thoughts. Humans were backstabbers that could not do anything. Their sense of smell, hearing, sight and night vision were all lacking. They were worth nothing aside from humiliation and ridicule. They should be enslaved like what they have been doing since the beginning of time. Each had another thing in common. They were heads of not just a household, but also leaders of supremacist groups. Akron of the Fists Of Unity and Gallen of the Avenging Bulls. Akron was going to strike the White Fang in the middle of their next meeting. He was going to kill the leadership and that damn fool who humiliated him at the pier. No. He was going to humiliate him and make him watch as he burns down his company, kill all of his workers and let his men have their way with any of the females under his employe. Then he was going to make him watch as he ravaged his sister before he killed her then beat him to death.
Gallen was wanting to annex the Fang into the Bulls and kill these pathetic humans. He was going to free them from their unseen yolk of oppression and let them punish the humans that enslaved them. He just didn't know that he would be too late to "free" them.
Back at the house, John and Cortana were brainstorming ways of getting their hidden hanger built and covertly raising the Dawn to said workshop. Stealing androids from Atlas was a thought but one they would rather not use. Hiring people in an add seemed, off. Again not one they wanted to do unless need be. Doing by themselves while possible just didn't seem practical.
" What about hiring people from the company? We could bring them into the fold. Or at least somewhat. At least the part of about the ship and that we are shipwrecked." She said as she took a sip of tea from her mug.
" We can get them to sign a contract of secrecy with all of the info they need to do the job we ask of them. "
John thought it over. " That is probably the best idea we have. But we do need to screen them, even if we screened them before higher, we need to see how trustworthy they are for classified information."
" I can start looking through profiles and put a process of tests together to start. I might have some candidates ready." Cortana said.
" Alright. I gotta get going. Ozpin wanted to have a chat.: John told her as he went to dawn his armor.
" What all are you going to tell him?" she asked.
" Depends." he said stepping into the armor mounting station.
Fifteen minutes later he was armored up. He had a MA5C clamped on his back with a couple of magnums on his thighs. He walked towards the door into a recent addition. A small underground hanger that housed the pelican. He did a preflight check as the doors opened. Sunlight filtered in as the engines whined to life. He linked his suit comms to a data pad so Cortana can listen in and comment if need be.
" Cortana you read?" He asked
" What do you want me to read? Little Red Riding Hood? Snow White? Beauty and the beast? Or how about Goldy locks?" She asked
John exhaled a breath as he gunned the engine, Cortana still rattling off fairy tales to read off.
It wasn't long until he saw beacon in the distance
" Beacon ATC to unidentified aircraft. Please Identify and state your business." a voice spoke over the comms.
" Beacon ATC, this is Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan 117. Permission to land?" he asked.
A moment passed.
" 117 you have clearance to land at pad 7. Ozpin will be meeting you there. Have a safe flight." and with a pop the comms shut off. John flew in with Beacons tower grew by the second. As he came in he saw pad sevon was open with a figger in varying shades of green stood. He brought the pelican in for landing. He turned the bird one hundred eighty degrees presenting the back of the ship as he touched down. Ozpin waited along with a recently arrived Glynda to meet the so called SPARTAN. They watched as the aircraft touched down and presented a hatch. Seconds later said hatch dropped and Ozpin got his first look at the Spartan in person. He was what he pictured him to be from what Summer and Tai had explained. Green angler armor with a black under suit, tall in height and wide in the shoulders he looked like a walking tank. A one man death squad is what Summer had said. Well he did fit that look. He approached the two with weapons still slung. He stopped right in front of Ozpin and extended a hand.
" Summer and Tai passed a message that you wanted to talk to me." He said matter of factly.
Ozpin shook it feeling his small flesh hand pressed into the unyealding gauntlet.
" Good to see you sir. I have a number of things to ask you." He said with drawing his hand and gesturing to Glynda, I believe you know my assistant Glynda Goodwitch." he said.
" Good to see you again sir. I hope you have been well." She said with a smile.
" I have been well ma'am." he said to her. Turning to Ozpin he continued " Well where do you want to do this?" he asked.
" In my office. I could use a cup of coffee and the privacy." He said turning around and leading them to his office. They fell into step behind behind Ozpin. It didn't take long to reach the elevator. Ozpin and Glynda got on and made room for the Chief, just to find that he stayed out side the doors.
" Are you not coming with us?" Ozpin asked.
" My armor ways half a ton. I doubt your elevator can support it with everyone in it as well. I will follow shortly." he explained.
That got a the duo to go wide eyed as the doors shut. Seconds later they arrived at the office and the elevator made its decent back down.
Glynda looked at Ozpin as the gears struggled to bring the solder up.
" What is this elevator rated for?" She asked.
" It can handle it...barely." he said taking a sip from his mug.
The door opened a moment or two later with the Chief walking out. An audible groan was herd as he stepped off the elevator and into the office.
" I would offer you a seat but I dont have one that can take your weight. My apologies." Oz said.
" Its fine. So what is it you wanted to see me about?" He asked getting straight to the point.
Instead of replying, he withdrew a manila envelope and set it on top of his desk.
" While I have suspicions on who you might be, I do know that you are connected to this object my associate took pictures of."
The Chief opened the envelope and saw the Dawn in the photos.
" Qrow Branwen sent you these?" he asked.
" He did. I know that ship is not of Remnant and by extension you. I am not going to expose you. From what I can tell you have been calling this place your home for a while. You have been fighting to clean up the world of problems and protecting those in danger or cutting a missions time in half. Plus you save some of my star students a couple of times. For that I thank you." Ozpin said with prais.
" A solder requires no thanks for doing what he is expected to do. But you are welcome." He said.
Ozpin quirked an eyebrow before he responded.
" Look I am not going to press for anything classified. I just want to know how you got here and if I can trust you with some things I like to keep close to the chest and if you feel so inclined to share as well you can."
" Share secrets so one has nothing on the other?" he asked the headmaster.
Ozping nodded.
" So if you don't mind, how did you get here and do we need to worry about anything coming to find us?" Glynda asked.
The Chief looked at both contemplating what to tell them. Coming to a choice he decided to tell them about his last mission in his universe as well as how he got here. He looked at each of them before he started.
" You are right. I am not of Remnant." He confirmed, " I am not to sure what galaxy I am in or what solar system. I arrived her via a sudden wormhole. My previous assignment was to stop a psycho who wanted to wipe the universe clean of all life."
He paused. " Now before I go into details of my last mission, I need to ask if you believe aliens exist?"
Glynda wanted to scoff, but he pretty much confirmed they do. As to Ozpin, he 'saw' his younger spirit looking on with interest at what was being said.
Glynda was the first to speak. " I would normally scoff and call people crazy, but you said yourself that you are from another solar system. But I do have a question. Are you human or something else?" She asked. Ozpin raised an eyebrow at that. In truth he was wondering that himself.
" I am indeed human. Believe it or not, from where I am from, humanity is came from one planet and spread out among the stars. How humans and faunas wound up here? I don't have a clue on." He told them.
" I see. What can you tell us of these aliens and why did they want to wipe out all life?" Ozin asked. He saw the Spartans shoulders rise and fall in what he guessed was a sigh.
" The aliens declared a holy war against humanity thinking we were in affront to their gods." He said. He didn't go into a lot of detail. Just a brief explanation of who started the war and why. The only thing he went into detail on was the last mission on Halo with the Arbiter and finally the wormhole that landed him here.
To say the two were surprised at the news would be an understatement.
" So you worked with a being that was at your throat only a month pryer to kill a parasite that is beyond comprehension, and destroyed a weapon designed to kill all life in a radius to keep said thing from feeding. That is one hell of a story. And to think that what you said was only a highlight reel." Glynda said.
" I guess it is my turn to uphold my end of the bargain. But first I must ask you a question. In your time here, have you heard any of Remnants fairy tales?" Oz asked the towering soldier in front of Chief shook his head.
" Well to understand what I am about to say it is best to hear the tail" Oz continued, " This is the tail of the seasons. Of how four young maidens helped an old hermit and was blessed with the powers of a season." And so the tail was told. " … And so with each passing, the power is transferred to a new host so the season can live on. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall." He finished. The SPARTAN didn't move at all during the telling. Just stood there waiting and listening.
" Ok. So why do I need to know this kids tail?" he asked.
" What if I told you it was true." Oz said in a no nonsense voice.
That caught the two other occupants off guard.
" Ozpin that is just…"
" Glynda. Its true. There are four women in this world that have powers from a season walking around right now. They don't need dust to wield such power. Its magic." Ozpin said cutting of Glynda.
" Chief I have just let you in a circle of trust that only a few can be let in on. You as well Glynda. I was going to fill you in on this eventually." Ozpin said.
" So why tell me this?"
" It use to be common knowledge that has passed into myth, folklore and fairytales. They were hunted to be used by people with less noble intent or to be killed off with the hope of gaining the power themselves. The selection process is, what would the right word be, intimate. Who ever is in the current maidens final thoughts when she dies, get the power. And they have to be young females." Ozpin explained. " I tell you this because I got a gut feeling that in the coming future that something is going to happen. I would like to ask you to get your ship fixed and into orbit incase we need to put something really valuable up their."
" What would be needed to be stored up their that a vult could probably do better?" The Chief asked.
" I will say this. The madis do more then just walk around. They are also a key. A key that leads to items that should not be put in the wrong hands. That is all I am going to say on the matter till I have gained more of your trust and you me." Oz said.
" Ok. When I feel like you have gained enough I will let you know." The Chief told him. With that the meeting was pretty much done nothing else to talk about. Ozpin had bid him farewell and to come by when whenever he felt. Cortana, who had been quiet, recorded the conversation and saved it to a secure folder. The Chief was conversing with Glynda about everything and nothing, when a certain person came to mind.
" Ma'am. I have a question to ask."
" No need to call me ma'am Chief. I am not that old." She scolded, " But go ahead. What can I do for you sir?"
" I was wondering if you can share anything about a former student. Akron Winchester." He asked.
Glynda had a disgusted look on her face.
" That guy was a jerk." She spat. " He could talk and charm the pant off of people. Came off as a bad boy, but a good guy. Had a handsome look, but it only went skin deep. He broke hearts and he didnt care." She said cringing at the memories that his name brought.
" I was his first victim. We dated for about a month. I wanted to save my first for my husband, but he insisted that it would always be us and that he would never leave. I wouldn't say I was forced into it, but at the same time I didn't want to do it so early. He somehow convinced me enough to give him my virginity. I should have known that something was up even before that night. But after that night, he was demanding sex from me. Aside from that first time, he treated me like a thing rather than a person. Come to find out he was sleeping around with other girls in school." She told him with a tear coming to her eye. " The worst it that some of the women he slept with either attempted or committed suicide. I almost did as well, if it wasn't for Summer and Raven. They came in right in the nick of time." She said with a huf. " After that they got everyone he abused in their dorm and we just talked. Shared our stories. After that Raven and Summer along with Qrow and Tai tailed him and recorded him doing everything that was done to the women he was with. Needless to say he was kicked out of Beacon half way through the year." She finished.
John thought about that. ' A false huntsmen then.' John thought with disgust.
" Sorry for bringing up any unpleasant memories." John appolagised.
She gave a sigh before she replied. " its OK. You didn't know and so you are forgiven. It's just bad memories that come up with his name." She said with a deep exhale. The two made it to the boarding ramp of the pelican.
" Well I guess this is farewell for now." She said extending a hand, " I hope in time you can show us more of what the universe has to offer aside from the genocide aliens and supper weapons that kills everything." She said on a lighter note. " Hopefully next time you can show us some more peaceful sights like stars and nebulas and alike." She said smiling.
" Maybe next time." The Chief said gently taking her hand a shook it.
With that the Chief turned and walked up the ramp into the pelican. Glynda took a step or to back as the Chief raised and sealed the ramp and fired up the engines. As he took off, he checked in with Cortana.
" Cortana, are you able to ping Qrow's scroll? I would like to have a chat with him." John said gaining altitude. There was a pause as she started typing on her and searching.
" He is in the northern part of Mistel. Why?" She asked.
" It's time that we had a chat." he stated taking off.
Qrow was walking around Mistral gathering intel on what he was going to be doing for his hunt here in Mistral. It was a simple hunt all things considered. Go and kill an asshole grimm and its pack. He ducked into a small hole in the wall bar to get more details on the area he was going to be operating in. As he walked in, the smell of alcohol and smoke was the first thing to to assault his nose. The smoke hung in the air like a cloud. Patterns sitting in booths hidden in shadows with others sitting at the bar heads down looking into their drinks. Grabbing a seat he ordered a drink. As he waited he took a look around. Real unsavory people all around him. A body builder of some took a seat next to him. Stone chiseled arms and jez, he could see how ripped he was right through the sleeveless shirt! ' This guy does know that there is a life outside the gym right?'
Qrows drink arrived. He paid and took a sip.
" Isn't it a bit early to be drinking?" the stranger asked. He sounded familiar but Qrow could not place the voice. He looked and tried to focus on his face. He could not make much out thanks to the shadows covering him.
" Well I started last night. So I am still going. What are you doing here? This place doesn't have a gym, and I am not sure you want to eat anything here." He said knocking back the rest of his drink.
" I am here for you actually." the stranger said.
Qrow raised an eyebrow.
" Did I do something to you to target me, or are you here to pass on info about my assignment?" Qrow asked.
" Well lets just say you saw something that is classified." the stranger said shooting him a side long look. " And I am here to retrieve and assess how big of a risk you are."
Qrow took a breath as the bartender poured another shot. " Look if you are wanting a fight I would like to at least have my last drink, and to do it outside or an arena."
" Their doesn't need to be a fight." He told him.
That feeling came up his back again. This buff guy had to be the one that gave him the shiver a couple months back. Taking another breath and drink he looked at the guy.
" Hhhhhh, look pal I have no doubt that you could take me no problem. And I will comply. Just tell me that you are not going to kill me or anything like that."
" No I am not going to do that. I just need to make sure you didn't tell anyone about what you saw."
" And what is it that I saw that is classified and you need to make sure no one knows about?"
Instead of answering the stranger pulled out a thing of pills. " take one of these. It's not poison or anything like that. They are designed to knock people out for a period of time." he said sliding them over.
Qrow looked the canister over. " Look. Let's just go and…" the stranger delivered a palm strike under Qrows jaw knocking the old bird out.
" Keep the change." the stranger said throwing lien on the bar.
As the stranger picked up the KOd body of Qrow, we see his face. Brown military hair, blue eyes, faint freckles across his nose and a couple of scars.
John Mendez, Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan-117 slung Qrow over his shoulder as he made his way to the woods. It wasn't far till he saw the pelican and strapped Qrow in the hold in the back. He moved to the cockpit and took off towards the sky. Once at a suitable altitude, he set the cruze and went back to find Qrow still passed out. He then looked to the pile of armor at the front and quickly donned it. Just as the last seal slid into place was when Qrow stirred awake. He shot to his feet and reached for his weapon, only to find it was not their.
" Relax" came a voice that Qrow only heard once but would never forget. He turned and saw the imposing figure of the Spartan. Qrow stared mouth agape. The Chief wanted to talk? Then who was the guy in the bar? Qrow reached for his flask only to find it was not their.
"Catch."
Qrow looked up and caught his flask. He uncapped it and took a healthy sip. Capping it he put it back into his shirt pocket.
" So. Who was the guy in the bar? I know it wasn't you. You can't hide that armor so easily." Qrow said still shocked that the SPARTAN wanted to talk to him. But that feeling from months before came creeping back up his spine. And it only got worse as the events that happened at the bar played through his head.
" So what do you want with me? I got a job to get back to you know, and I don't think I got much time to spare before the trail goes cold." Qrow asked.
Instead of answering, a hologram appeared in front of him. It was the half ship that Ozpin had asked him to investigate. He looked at it with a questioning eye towards the Chief.
" Ok. What am I looking at?" Qrow asked trying to play it off like he didn't know what it was.
" Qrow. I know you are not dumb. Do me the same honor and to don't think I am an idiot. So please don't play stupid." He said in a very unamuzed tone.
Sighing Qrow again took a drink before he spilled what all he saw.
" Ok, Ok. I was sent to investigate something that impacted and landed off the coast of Patch. What I found was that. I didn't go in or anything. Just looked into some of the breached hull plates and got a name. Nothing to like people to anything other than possibly the name. Forward Unto Dawn with some sort of kill count if I had to guess." Qrow told him.
" I know you told Ozpin because we had a talk and he confirmed that you were the one to get the intel for him. My question is, who else did you tell?" he asked.
" I didn't tell anyone else. If I am going to be honest, I linked the ship back to you. I would rather not have my family be a target." Qrow said.
" You willing to put both your life and those of your family on the line to back up that claim?"
Qrow looked stunned. ' He would kill Summer, Tai, Ruby and Yang as well as him? Is this that far in the black-ops list?' " I can even show you my scroll as evidence! But if you even think about harming MY family, I will take you down." Qrow growled ready to fight.
In response the SPARTAN with drew a scroll. No not just a scroll. HIS scroll. Qrow checked his pockets and sure enough he didn't find it. He snapped his head up to the chief who just tossed it back to him.
" I already checked it. You are clean. Just making sure you can be trusted." He said.
" Ahhhhh. What? If you already knew I was clean, then why the threat?" Qrow asked.
" I want to see if you can be trusted enough. I wanted to see if your response would change if put under presser. I can tell from your vitals that while your blood pressure increased when the threat of family was made, I could hear that you were ready to fight for your family to make sure they are safe." he told Qrow.
" So what is it that I need to know that would put my family at risk?" Qrow asked with growing impatience.
" Do you believe that aliens exist?"
" If you are asking then I think my question of other life out there has been answered. What do I need to know?"
" Go to Ozpin when you are done. He will fill you in." was all the Chief said before he went to the cockpit. Following the massive solder up, he got to see where they were. Right above the target area.
" Well at least you are thoughtful. Thanks for the ride." Qrow said as he grabbed his weapon and went to the back of the transport. A second later the hatch opened and Qrow went to work.
In a warehouse we find a crowd of people all cheering and chanting. Now one would think this is a White Fang rally, but you would be wrong. Akron was on a podium smiling as the projector displayed a plan of attack on the upcoming rally that Dawn enterprises was going to hold within the week. The plan was to smuggle weapons and people into the rally at the minimum a few hours early. Then when things are at their highest, they attack. Each faunas and faunas sympathiser will be wiped from the face of the planet. The planet would be for humans and humans alone. His vision was going to come to pass.
Throughout the next couple of days smuggled weapons will be placed. Weather they be tapped under tables, placed in air vent and in other classic areas. Like the food and punch bowl. All in all, Akron was going to love tearing apart this rally and humilating this fanus lover before killing him.
Raven stood over a grave. Not just any grave, but one of her tribesmen. She looked at the yellow bladed cross that came from own scabbard. The one that was buried here was a young girl that she had considered a second daughter. May. May the Spring Maiden. It hurt that May was dead. She just couldn't cut it. What hurt even more was that she was the one to kill her. May had tried a pacifist approach to a problem. She showed compassion and because of that, the huntsman she graciously helped, turned on her. He ran his blade through her abdomen and left her to bleed out. Raven had found her and brought her back to camp for one of her medics to try and save her life. The result was he couldn't. The best thing they could do was to do the humane thing. A syrange was prepped with a lethal dose of painkiller. But she couldn't just let her go like that. She was her leader and if Raven didn't want to admit it, she saw her as an adoptive daughter and as such she wanted to send her off comfortable. She sat there and did something one would do to their kids. She read a couple of stories from an old weathered book that she had since she and Qrow were kids. When the shot was given, she held her hand and hummed a lullaby.
So here she stood. It was only two weeks ago since she passed, and three since her fight with the SPARTAN. She only allowed herself to show some weakness here. To remember how she was. She was a bandit. But a bandit with a heart of gold. She loved to laugh. She loved the people she was with. She brought a smile to people's faces. Yellow was often associated with joy and happiness. So her headstone was made out of yellow blades. A tear slid down her cheek as the memories of her and Yang came to mind. Two girls. One a daughter she gave birth to abandoned. The other adopted but no less loved.
' Why does the world have to be so cruel?' She thought. She walked up to the headstone and knelt down and placed a lone flower. Looking up to the blank cross, she let some of her new powers lose on the cross. She used a finger encased in electricity to trace out her name. She just wished she could do more for her. She stood back up and took a step or two back. She just stood there, unmoving. She lost track of how long she was their. Only when a new presence stood next to her did she see it was almost dark. This new presence was clad in an emerald green armor with a gold visor helmet. The Spartan has arrived. She expected him to start talking and ruin the moment, but was surprised when he ejected the magazine from his rifle and with drew a single round. After sliding the mag home and putting the rifle back on his back, he two dropped to a knee and placed the bullet next to the flower. Standing back up, he to stepped back and shared a moment of silence with Raven.
" What happened?" he asked out of nowhere.
She took a breath and turned to address him.
" Can we do this somewhere not here." She requested.
The Spartan only nodded and turned around and walked into the woods. Raven gave one last look at the grave and followed. They walked only for a few dozen meters when she saw the bird that he flew in on. It was blocky and was clearly military with the the green color and what looked like missile tubes in the wings. A hatch opens as they approached.
" Summer must have gone nuts if she saw this." She said.
" She kind of did. She was knocked out when Tai boarded. She did get excited but I think it was towards myself." He said.
She gave an 'oh' as she boarded. The hatch closed as the Spartan walked to the front. Before he entered the cockpit he turned to her.
" If you want to come up front feel free." He offered.
Not seeing a problem with it she came up front as the Spartan started a preflight check. She took a seat behind him and strapped in. A low whine was herd as the engine started up. It gradually grew in volume till it was a high pitch and the ship rose into the air. She watched the ground fall below her. It was nothing new, she did it all the time as raven. No pun intended. She looked out the window. She thought of Yang and May again. Two people she cared for as children and fate took them away from her. She closed her eyes and sighed.
" You may want to keep your eyes open ma'am. You are about to see a sight not many people get to see." The Spartan told her. She looked forward and watched as the blue of the sky became darker and darker till it was black. Then she saw twinkling. Were those stars?
" No we are not in space. But we are close enough to be considered in orbit. Enjoy the view, we will be up here for a few minutes till we get over Vale." he told her. She did enjoy it. She like most people of Remnant had a fascination of space. She sat there drinking it all in. Bullheads and other carriers could not get this high. The only thing that came close was an Atlas liner that only the super rich and elite of the elite flew on. But here she was in a military plane that was boarding orbit.
The Chief in the meantime contacted base to let Cortana know he was inbound.
" Cortana. I have Raven and are on our way." He said.
A screen inside his HUD popped up in the upper left hand corner showing Cortana's face.
" Ok Chief. How far out are you? I was going to run into town and get something for dinner or maybe just some finger foods or appetizers incase Raven is hungry."
" We are going to be an hour or two. Also, grab something stiff for Raven. I think she may want a drink."
" Ok Chief see you when you get home. And don't have to much fun." She said. Mischief was laced within her voice.
" Copy. Over and out." He said with a shake of his head.
Raven was still ogling the view of the darkened sky and stars.
" Who is it that was buried?" He asked her.
Raven gave one last look to the stars before she turned to him with her once wonder to one of sorrow. She took a breath before she spoke.
"It was a tribeswomen. She came to us when she was told she was special. She ran from Haven Academy because of the new found stress. I found her wandering the forest nearby hungry, thirsty and frightened. I was going to rob her blind and leave her. She must have heard a twig or something snapp because she attacked with something akin to magic. We fought. It ended with me disarming her. But what I was not expecting was for her to be a maid…"
" A Maiden?" He interrupted.
Raven looked at him surprised that he knew of the old folk tail. She was going to deny it before he spoke.
" Ozpin and I had a talk. He told me about the tail and how it was true. That does not explain why she is in the ground and not among your camp?" he asked. He wasn't accusing her but at the same time he would not believe she let her live without wanting the power for herself.
She took a breath before answering.
" I took her in and trained her. She became an adopted daughter to me. So NO I did not kill her to take her power." She stated with a hard edge as some of her new power surrounded her eyes. She took another breath to calm herself before she continued. " I did all I could. I trained her and trained her. Yet she never seemed to click. It took a month to figure out that I was the problem. I was training her with force when I SHOULD have been training her in a way she could understand and at a pace she can grasp. So instead of using force or brute strength, I used compassion and gentleness. I got to know her and came to love her like I should have with Yang." She took a breath and let it out in a sigh, " Her one weakness was her compassion. A huntsman was wounded nearby, so she went and helped him. As soon as she was done and he was on his feet, he ran his blade right through her and left her for dead. When she did not return when she normally did, I went and looked for her. I found her in a puddle of her own blood. I got her home and to the doctor. He said that all he can do was to seal the wounds and make her comfortable." she paused not wanting to say what all would come next.
" Let me guess, she lost to much blood and was unsaveable?" The Spartan asked.
She nodded." I stayed with her till the end. We did the humane thing and gave a lethal dose of painkiller. I became the mother Yang deserved for someone else. Before we injected her I read to her from an old booK Qrow and I had since we were children. When I injected her, I sat with her till the end holding her hand and humming a lullaby." She said as tears came to her eyes. Some even sliding down her cheeks. " Huuh. I received May's power and trained in secret with it. I promised I would find and kill her killer. But I have not found him yet." She said miffed.
The Chief listened. It was clear that Raven was pretty down about this. She saw May as she would have with Yang, had she stayed.
They again sat in silence till they grew closer to Vale. As John started to make his disant he told Raven to head to back into the troop bay.
" Classified Location. If you saw it without my permission I would have to kill you." He said. Grumbling she followed orders and sat in the troop bay. Now that she was alone with her thoughts, she let it wander to Yang. She would be what five coming on six? How would she react if she just popped up in front of her. She played with this fantasy in her head quit a bit with in the last couple of days. Just playing with meeting her daughter face to face. SHe felt the the ship shudder as it touched down on something. She half expected the Spartan to come out from the cockpit and drop the hatch. Of which he did a minute or two later. Her first glimpse of his base was the descending steel of a underground hanger. It stopped a second or two later revealing a door. It opened and the Spartan walked through with her following shortly after. They walked through the hallway towards an open room with a table. A woman was setting the table with a variety of foods and drinks. She saw finger foods mostly. Chicken strips and wings, veggie and fruit trays, chips and dips. She saw all sorts of beverages ranging from water hard spirits that she new Qrow would love to get his hands on.
The women was of medium height but was built. She had a bust similar of not a bit bigger than hers and hipps that would be perfect for child barring. She had an hourglass figure that just accented her looks. She had electric blue eyes with fair skin. Her hair was a neck length chestnut brown color that framed a deceptively vulnerable face. She was wearing a flowing red dress with white sneakers.
Raven thought the women looked familiar but could not to save the life of her where she saw her from. The women turned and with a beaming smile welcomed them.
" Please sit eat and drink." She said.
With that she did. The Spartan stood as he started to ask questions.
" So. Why did you attack me back in the October Forest." He started off.
She took a moment to reflect on that time.
" Like I said then, I knew you were holding back and I wanted to see by how much. That was one reason." She said taking a glass and Hard Oak whisky. She poured herself a shot before continuing. " But the main reason, it has to do with Tai and Summer." She finished, knocking back her drink.
" What about them?"
She drew in a breath, " I know that I left Tai and Yang without warning. But when we were together, hell back in Beacon, he has always said that he saw her as the girl next door kid sister type of girl. I was the only one that he said he would love. So imagine my surprise when I was a branch away from going back to him, He and Summer were together with Summer being pregnant with his child." She told him taking another drink as well as a apple slice.
The Spartan just stood there for a moment before he spoke.
" Raven. You left both HIM, AND YANG, without so much as a note. Qrow and Summer had helped him pick up the pieces and how to parent as a single father. With Qrow gone on missions for Ozpin, Summer was mostly their for him and Yang. SHE became a mother to a child she did not give birth to because not only did Tai need help with raising a little girl on his own, But Yang needed a women to look up to as she grew. Summer loved and cared for both. It wasn't like he cheated on you with her because you pretty much left him high and dry. It was a slow burn till a drunk night of passion happened. When she found out she was pregnant, he did the only logical thing to do. He married her. He got another shot at being a father with a women he came to love and who loved him." He scolded.
That hurt. It hurt to hear how much of a failure she was. She was supposed to be a nurturer towards Yang and be a helper to Tai. Yet she threw it all away because she felt that she betrayed the tribe by staying and marrying Tai and mothering Yang. She and Qrow were sent to Beacon to learn to kill huntsmen, not join them.
" What did you expect would happen?" Was the chiefs last question.
" I expected Tai to stay faithful to me and wait till I got back!" She spat.
" How could he when YOU didn't even leave a note as to what you were doing and if you would return. From what all he said, you didn't even leave your wedding ring. You left nothing. He didn't even know if you were still alive or dead. Or if you even found a new lover. Did you expect him to wait on the possible chance you would return? No! He moved on trying to put his life together. "
Needing a quick distraction, she poured herself a taller drink of whisky and downed it in one gulp.
Filling the glass again, instead of drinking it she just held it. As the alcohol took affect it calmed her mind.
" Sir, am I being to hard on everyone?" She asked.
" I would say you are. You have been acting like a bitch to your teammates and former lover." Came the womens voice who she thought left.
" I am sorry?"
" look at it this way. What would you have done if the situation was reversed. Chances are you would be heartbroken and might have even found a new lover to be with. Hell maybe even many lovers. The fact that Tai had the other two members their helped." The mystery women said with a hard and accusatory tone.
Again that hurt. But truth be told she might have done the same thing if the situation was reversed.
" Am I a bad person? Can I get my family back?" She asked tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
There was a pause as both Spartan and mystery women stayed silent mulling it all over.
" Not in the traditional sense. You may not be able to win Tai back as your husband or Yang to see you as her mom. You may have lost that right. But you might be able to earn back some respect and admiration. But nonetheless, don't expect a warm welcome from Tai and Yang." The mystery women said.
She stayed ate and drank with both the Spartan and mystery women for the next couple of hours talking. The Spartan vaguely explained who and what he is and where he came from. She in turn told them about her and the tribes life.
" When you talked to Ozpin, what all did he tell you?" She asked.
He told her it was the tail of the maides. She then went on to tell him more. How Ozpin was immortal and was the one to give the power as well as Salem.
" That is why I wanted to see if you could be an ally. She will not rest till all of Remnant is bowing down to her. The relics are a big advantage to her and Ozpin's goals."
With that the conversation came to a close with the Chief thinking it over. Before she left, she asked question that was a little intimate.
" Chief. Do you mind if I ask you and your...lady friend a question?"
After a quick look at one another they gave a nod.
" My semblance allows me to make a portal to people I make a connection with." She started, " I can do it one a couple of different ways. The first is a bit, ah, intimate. It requires me to know them for a while or have a deep connection with. The second way is not as complicated but not as accurate. It is a simple seal that is concealed unless I am about to create a portal to you. I was wondering if I can leave one on you two or here at least." She asked.
" If you don't mind, why?" the women asked.
" I find talking to you therapeutic, and maybe even help me with coming to terms with what happend."
They looked at each other for a few seconds having a silent conversation with each other.
" Just call before you pop up." was all the Chief said.
Giving a smile she placed a seal on the wall of the hidden bunker and turned to the pelican.
WARNING WARNING WARNING! A LEMON HAS BEEN SIGHTED! SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY! WARNING WARNING THIS IS NOT A DRILL IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 LEAVE NOW!
Summer just got home from a chat with Ozpin. He had an assignment for her that startes midweek. A midsize village was having comm problems and were looking to upgrade. The plan was to rip out the old tower and put in the new one. But in that time there would be no comms in or out. So it the grimm or bandits came looking for trouble, well they would be unable to help. So her and a few others were going to stay there and be their militia. The runner that had been in Ozpin's office said that it would take at most a month and a half. A bit to long for her liking. To long away from Tai and the girls. She is going to miss spending time with the girls when they get home from school, waking to Tai snuggling up next to her or in the kitchen making breakfast. Most of all, she was really going to miss Tai's touch. His presence..his scent.
The runner had said that they would still have local internet and comms. They would provide food shelter and alike so the team can feel right at home. The payment would be a bit hiked up than their normal rate as compensation for their time.
She sighed. The girls were at school and Tai was at signal working. She wanted to have a night with just him. If she was going to be honest though, their love life, while healthy and thriving, was starting to lose its excitement. Tai made a great lover, don't get her wrong, but he was too gentle and didn't get to wild. The most they did was going outside or in the kitchen with the girls in the next room. She wanted a bit of excitement and even some risk.
She sat on the couch thinking about what to do. She knew there was a difference between making love and straight up sex. Love was the passion and gentleness. Hearts were open and vulnerable. A small fire compared to the roaring blaze of lust. But at the moment that is what she wanted. She wanted that roaring fire to come out. But how? How can she tell Tai that she wanted more without hurting him?
She leaned back into the couch with a sigh escaping her lips.
' What am I going to do?' She thought taking in the fragrance of the LEMON scented air freshener.
Not really thinking about what she was doing, she brought out her scoll and flipped through her contacts till she found the one she was looking for. She smiled at the name. It has been a while since she talked to her. Still smiling she pressed the call button and waited. It wasn't long till she got an answer.
" Hello?" Came a women's voice of elderly age.
" Hi mom!" she replied.
" Summer! My baby girl! Oh it has been a while since we last spoke! How have you been?" the now identified women said being Summer's mother.
" I am doing great. How are you and Dad doing?" She asked.
" We are great. How is you and your hubby?"
" Great. We made some new neighbors and friends. You and dad would really like them. Get this, John was a black ops operative in the navy." She said.
" Really. Well we would need to meet them the next time we visit. So, did you call just to chit chat or are you in need of something?" Her mother asked.
" I actually need some advice on something." She said.
" OK. What can I do?"
She took a breath and let it all out.
" Mom. I love Tai and I don't want to hurt him, but I am wanting a bit...more than what we have been doing." She admitted.
And with that she was given an ear full of questions. Ranging from kinks to fantasys.
After fifteen minutes she hung up. A blush so red it gave her daughters red cloak a run for its money. The things her mother suggested would spice things up a bit. But it was all concepts. Ranging from semi-risky locations. Public restrooms, changing rooms, and while not the full act, oral sex while driving. High risk in public areas like in a park or even a theater.
What all have they brought into the bedroom? Any toys and lubes/ lotions. What is in her lingerie wardrobe. She try sexual dress-up? All sorts of things that just made her blush and get flustered.
She again made a call needing to talk to a girl friend of hers to see if she could give any more context to what her mother had said.
"Hey can you hang on a moment? My hands are kind of full. Give me say thirty seconds." Came the voice. She waited as she heard what sounded like a door opening and closing and the sound of bags being set on the ground. She then heard a muffled thump like that of a trunk closing
" Ok I am back. What can I do for you Summy?" Came a very happy voice.
" Am I interrupting anything Amethyst?" She asked.
" No you are not. Just got home from vale. What can I do for you?"
" Would it be OK if Ruby and I can come over for a…"
" Of course. I haven't seen that little bundle of pureness in so long! I need my fix, come over as soon as you can!" Amethyst said with glee and hung up.
Summer gave a sigh. She knew Amethyst absolutely love the girls with a fierce passion that rivaled hers as a mother. She went up to Ruby's room and found her playing with simple blocks and toys.
" Ruby." Summer called to her youngest. She snapped her head around to look at her mother with questioning eyes wounding if she did something wrong.
" Do you want to see Amethyst and John?" She asked kneeling down to be eye level.
Her eyes lit up at the thought of seeing Amethyst and John again so soon. She leapt into her mom's hands eagerly to get going. She let out a chuckle as she got her ready. It only took a few minutes to get to the Menendez residents. Amethyst was out on the front porch watering flower beds that she had on the front. She waved at them as they pulled up.
As Ruby was unfastened she bolted up to Amethyst and hugged her. Amethyst dropped and embraced the child.
" Amethyst, I might need to put a restraining order on you if you keep trying to steal my baby girl." Summer said chuckling.
Amethyst fained a hurt look before turning to Ruby and asking " Ruby, who would you want to be your mommy. Me your that person over their?" She asked.
Ruby just gave a confused look before she pointed to Summer like it was the most ridiculous question. Summer had a smug look as Amethyst had a of betrayal on her shocked face.
" Ruby sweety why must you hurt me so?" She said.
All Ruby did was give her a confused look before she just hugged her before Amethyst set her back on her feet. She then took off to the playroom that Amethyst had set up for the girls.
" Ohhh. She is just so sweet. To pure for the world. She must be protected at all costs." She commented. " So what is it you wanted to talk about?"
" Well I need some advice on something a bit privet." She admitted.
Amethyst quirked an eyebrow as a mischievous smile came to her lips.
" Ok. You got my attention." She said.
Summer took a breath before she dove in.
" I have an assignment that could last up to a month and a half, and I want a night with Tai. You know without the girls." She said hoping she would get the underlying message. SHe did but wanted to tease her for second or two.
" Oh? And what do you and Tai want to do with out the little ones?" She asked with a tease in her tone.
Summer looked at her unamused.
" Ok Ok. You want us to watch them so you and Tai can have a night of love and passion. Right?"
" Yes but I need help with something. You see, Tai is really in genital passion mindset. I don't have a big problem with that. I know he has fantasies of his own as well as mine. But I am wanting that lust to come out I gess. I am wanting risk, something new." She told her, " And all without hurting him."
Amethyst stood there and listened. She let it all process and then gave a smile to rival the cheshire cat.
" Girl. We got some work to do." She said with a laugh.
Summer was starting regret her decision.
With in fifteen minutes Ruby was in a confused Johns office as Summer and Amethyst went to a number of stores that held adult stuff. Amethyst had bought a number of things for Summer ranging from lingerie to toys. Needless to say, Summer was now stocked for any occasion. But one was going to be used soon.
" Amethyst, did you really need to get me this?" She asked as she came out of the bathroom. She was in a typical school girl outfit. Plaid skirt that reaches her knees, black stockings that reached mid thigh, a white undershirt that hugged her figer in all the right places. To bring it all together was a set of high heels and a pair of non prescription glasses. The skirt was shorter than what would be seen in a school, but one could still walk around in public if needed without getting too much attention. She looked naughty yet innocent. Yet underneath the skirt would be a sexy lacey thong that she could move out of the way with ease if need be.
" Of course. If you want Tai to really go nuts and release that roaring blaze you are craving, you need to make him want it. Give him a reason." She said. " Get him flustered. Make think about you for the rest of the day. Make it so that when he sees you when he gets home, it's no high honey what's for dinner, its him pinning you against the wall and releasing all that pent up lust."
" Ok. But did you really need to buy me all of these things?" She asked pointing at her bed full of lingerie sets and pieces, toys from vibrators to the simple dildo, cuffs and rope to wips.
" A good women should be prepared. Now we got a box to put the toys, incense and candles in. So I will help you pack up and you need to go. You did do your makeup right?" She asked looking at her face. She did have makeup on. Light eyeshadow and liner, her skin was pristean even without a foundation, a small amount of blush and finally some lipstick that made her lips look so kissable.
Amethyst gave an approving smile.
" Good. Now go get you your man." She said as she followed her out the door. She even slapped Summers ass before she got in her car as a sign of good luck.
What Summer didn't know was that Amethyst had bought some stuff for ' herself ', was acutely going to be used on Summer. Amethyst was going to deliver a package to Tai's office. In it was a number of things that would insure Summer's pleaser plus a note that explains what to do.
Tai was waiting for his students to enter his classroom. His eyes landed on the picture of his girls. Summer holding Ruby with Yang hugging her waist. He smiled at the memory. Summer was all that he was looking for and more. When he was younger he didn't plan on marrying and starting a family till he was in his mid to late twenties. But Raven came in and he was smitten with her. Her cold attitude towards people and refusal to be close to someone made that competitive side to come out. He wanted to see the person under the armor. Needless to say he did. While she was an aggressive partner she had her gentle side. Summer and Qrow had all been happy for the two, although he swore that Summer had a little bit hurt by the news.
Raven and Tai had numerous dates. Some just that while others… were a bit more passionate.
It was the day before graduation that Tai went into town to get a special gift for her. He asked his parents to help him with a proposal ring but was surprised to see that his mother gave him her old wedding band.
" This was my original band son. When your father found out I misplaced it he bought another one and in your father's typical way, he proposed to me again." She told him holding up her hand with the new band on it.
After thanking and spending time with his folks, he got back to his dorm to see Raven holding something. When she turned, her eyes were wide. " I am pregnant." was all she said. With that Tai dropped and proposed to her. It was not long after their marriage that she left him with Yang.
Raven was the aggressive side of a coin. Always trying to outdo him in every aspect of their life...well more so in the bedroom. If he was going to be honest with himself, the aggressive sex while fun left him wanting more. Summer on the other hand was timid and gentle. She was the other side of the coin. And it satisfied him. She didn't need to be like Raven and get all aggressive and compete. She just needed to be her.
He was shaken out of his thoughts as the bell rang signaling the end of an hour. Students started pouring in. One by one seats were taken. As the last person took a seat the bell rang and he took attendance. He had an extra person in the front. RIght in the middle of the row.
'Wait a minute. Is that Summer? In a School uniform?' He asked looking at her. All she did as smile and fix her glasses. ' Summer doesn't wear glasses! But damn does she look cute in them' He mentally shrugged it off thinking she wanted to be unnoticed and see him in action.
" Ok class listen up. Today we are talking about weapons. What defines them and where you would see them. So what do you want to start with, FIrearms or blades?" He asked.
And with that the class got under way. And Summer was waiting for that to happen. As he was going though the definition of each bladed weapons and where they are used, she slowly opened her legs. Tais gaze swept the room. He flashed her a subtle smile as he took in the class.
' Damn not enough.' She thought as she reached down and pulled up on the skirt to give him more or a chance and opens up wider. This time she did get a reaction. His eyes lingered on her for a bit and widend.
' Got him.' She thought as she decreatly unbottoned the top to buttons of her shirt for the nest pass.
The whole rest of the hour was her teasing Tai. She watched as his blush kept getting more noticable and that he was stumbling over his words a little bit. What was really starting to get him was when she moved her thong out of the way and started to play with herself that he almost lost it.
' The fuck is she doing!? Is she trying to get a reaction out of me? Great now I need to sit down before my bulge becomes too noticeable.' he thought sitting at his desk as he pulled up a slideshow of different weapons.
When he stood back up after getting the show up on the bord, and fixing himself, he could have sworn Raven took Summers place. She was now full on fingering herself while discreetly rubbing her chest. She gave him a sadistic look and pursed her lips in a quick kiss. He could see her chest clear as day with even more buttons undone.
' Keep it together man she probably just wants to test you.' he thought. But one thing was for sure. He was going to have her in that outfit in his head for the rest of the day.
Class finally released much to his relief. As the class stood up to leave he saw Sumer wait to be one of the last. When she was she got up and 'accidentally' dropped her pencil. Bending over she picked it up, all the while giving Tai a full view of her butt. He gulped averting his eyes briefly. When he looked back she had thankfully stood back up and was approaching him.
' Ok time for some answers.' " What are you doin…"
He was cut off by Summer pushing herself onto him and kissing him. Caught off guard she used the moment to slip her tongue into his mouth and explored as her hands traveled his chest and eventually down to his waist where she started stroking his bulge through his pants. Right as he was getting into it and put his hands on her hips, she broke the kiss and turned to leave leaving a flustered and confused Tai.
" Uhhh what?" he managed to let out.
Summer just turned her head to see him and gave a seductive smile before she left with an exaggerated sway in her hips making him watch her till she was out of his sight. Taking a deep breath he ran a hand through his hair trying to comprehend the last hour of what tourter?
Leaving his classroom he walked to the nearest restroom and splashed water on his face to cool himself off. He stood their head hung processing. Taking a deep breath he stood and left. On his way back, a notification was sent that he had a package in the main office. After picking it up he went back to his classroom and looked it over. It was a plain box with a note on top. Taking the note he opened it and read the contents.
Tai,
I am giving this to you for a reason. You are to take your wife on a date after work. You are also required to dress her and make her feel special. Inside is a nice dress for her to wear as well as some other devices. After she has showed and dried, tell her you got somethings for her to wear as well as a toy for her to use throughout the night. You are to lube up and insert the anal plug. Hide the remote as well as the pantys remote. Both vibrate. Use them well.
Finish dressing her like normal. Let her do her makeup. Hide the others till you are on your way home.
When you hit the road for your date, then and only then turn on both devices. Low at first and then go from there. After you eat and on your way home, take a detour to a romantic site. There you are to make her think you and her are to make love their. Do what you can to make her comfortable and then cuff her hands behind the seat. Once done take the vibrating bullet and insert into her birth canal. Turn on high. This is more optional but loosen the dress strapps. Now you can either rub her ches through the dress or just pull the front down exposing her bossem.
Take Summer home at a slow and leisurely pace and have a little fun with her. Rub her thigh or women hood along with a boob.
Hopefully by the time you get home she is so hot and bothered she becomes a lust crazed women and throws you into the bedroom. This is your payback to what she just did.
Now before you ask there is something you must know. Summer loves you and does not want to hurt you in any way. But she is wanting a bit more excitement in your love life. More risk and more excitement is what she is wanting. A roaring blaze of lust compared to the warm fire of gentleness and passion. So I helped her out. Now be a wild man and claim your wife
Sincerely ; Amethyst.
Tai sat their stumped.
' Summer wanted more out of our sex life?' he thought. He did feel a little hurt. Not that she was unsatisfied, but that she was afraid of hurting him. ' If she wanted more all she had to do was say something. Then again maybe this is her way of doing so.'
After giving it some thought he came up with a better option. He will still do the date as planned but he wouldn't do anything Amethyst had suggested. Instead he would take her out to eat and even the romantic scenery where they can have a second then would use all she suggested on date night. After of course he gets the image of his wife teasing him in his own classroom. With a plan in mind he put the note back on the box and started attendance.
Summer was sitting at the kitchen table writing down items she was in need of getting for her assignment. She needed more ammo of a varying type in both dust and type and a sharpening stone. She messaged the Patch Elementary to tell Yang that she would be staying at Johns.
So the girls were taken care of now it was just waiting for Tai to come home and to take her where she sat in what she hoped would be something a bit more exciting than the norm. She stayed in her school girl outfit if for no other reason than because she felt a bit lazy to change.
As she was fiddling with a lock of her hair she heard a vehicle pull up. A minute later the door opened.
' Here we go' She thought with a smile.
She turned and wah taken out of her seat and pinned against the wall as Tai gave her an aggressive kiss as he pressed himself against her.
" You have a lot of nerve to come into my class dressed like that, tease your teacher and not get your assignment." Tai told her in a playful scolding tone.
" Then I guess you need to punish me." She said.
Instead of answering with words, he ripped her shirt off exposing her braless chest and dove in. He took a breast in his mouth sucking on a nipple while his other kneaded the other with his free hand. She moaned and tilted her head back as she wrapped her legs around his abdomen as she was pushed up. Tai switched breasts after a few mentis. She raked her fingers through his hair pulling him closer. Switching from her chest, he kissed her full on the lips as he let her down. She unwrapped her legs from him and set them on the ground. He let his hands travel down her sides resting on her hips as the kiss continued. As they broke the kiss, Tai suddenly grabbed her and bent her over the table. She gave a surprise squeak as he did and felt him slide her wet thong down to her knees. She felt the tip press against her opening. She shuddered. Was he going to go easy or continue with this aggressive actions and pound her like a wild man.
She got her answer as he slammed into her and kept going. If anything he got even more aggressive. She felt her end coming and yet he kept going as he felt her walls clamping around him. He kept ramming into her as she came. She let out a scream of pure extacy at how he treated her and hoped to feel him get like this again. So lost in the throes of pleasure that she didn't feel him pull out. Only when she felt a warm thick liquid slide over her ass did she realize, he wasn't done yet.
In their five to six years of being together, they never felt to comfortable with anal sex to try it. But here she was with a lubed up ass, and her husband's throbbing member waiting to enter enter her again. She felt him lean over and whisper in her ear.
" I know we never done this, only talked about. I am going to go nice and slow. If you want me to stop say so and I will. If you still want to keep going I will or if you want me to pull out I will." he told her in a a gentle loving tone. He wanted to make sure she knew that if she wanted to stop or anything, all she needed to do was say.
She gave a nod and she felt him press up against her ass. Slowly, ever so slowly did she feel her opening stretch. She closed her eyes and took deep steadying breaths as Tai pushed each inch of him into her. She gave a few grunts as he moved only asking him to stop once to catch her breath. Once he was fully in her, he pulled back out and in in a slow manner till Summer told him otherwise.
He had know idea her ass would be so tight. It felt soooo good. He may have gone a bit out of his comfort zone with what she wanted but she managed to talk him into it.
He herd Summer moaning as he rocked back and forth and only increasing his pace at her word.
" Faster!" She managed to get out between her moans. He increased his pace and decided to surprise her and hopefully give her the more. He slapped her ass, not hard but enough to get a shocked yelp from her as she snapped her head around with eyes wide. He thought she was going to ask him to stop. He was going to apologize when she smiled.
" I hope that was just a love tap. Now spank me like the trouble maker I am!" she demanded.
And he did. He kept thrusting in and out throwing a couple more spanks in to make her scream. When he decided to switch things up, her ass was red from the spanks. He grabbed a fist full of hair and pulled her up. Going with the pull she straightened her back so she was standing up instead of being bent over the table. Turning her head, she looks at Tai with a smile. Her eyes were half lidded with hearts in the pupils. Tai kissed her on the lips. His hands went from her hips to her breasts and squeezed them. As he was doing that he broke the kiss and went to her neck. There he started to suck and lightly bite down on a soft spot leaving a hickey right on her neck. She giggled as she moaned. God did this feel good. Some of this may be new but damn if it wasn't exhilarating. Tai let a hand drop from a breast to her waist. There he circled and rubbed her hip before moving again to her soaking wet women hood. He circled her clit making her gasp before he pushed a finger inside her making her moan yet again.
He kept going, thrusting a finger or two in her pussy while also thrusting his member into her ass. She came yet again and yet again she screamed in ecstasy. That almost pushed Tai over the edge. But he managed to hold back wanting to at least finish while looking into his wife's loving eyes so he could do the same. He wanted to whisper into her ear that he loved her. So he pulled out.
She moaned in disappointment thinking he was done. Only to find that she was flipped over so she was facing Tai. He propped her hips up and reinserted back into her butt. Still thrusting in and out of her, he leaned in and gave a passionate kiss. He then broke it and move so he could whisper in her ear.
" I love you Summer." He told her.
Instead of answering, she waited till he moved back to look at her then kissed him back. As she did, he gave one last thrust. This one was deep into her as she felt his member throb and twitch. She felt something shoot up into her. She leander her head back and basked in the afterglow as Tai finished shooting his seed in her ass. He waited a second or two then pulled out. She clung to his neck for support as she tried to get her bearings.
Panting she managed to let out a verdict.
" That. Was. Amazing. I. Can't. Wait. Till. Whoow, we do that again." She managed to say still out of breath.
" Yea. That was fun. I hope you enjoyed yourself. But I got to ask. What made you do it?" He asked.
She laughed before giving a reply. " I wanted to spice up our sex life. To have you really let lust take over. I wanted that aggressive side. Not to say you need to stay that way, just a change of pace that I would like to see happen a bit more often. Maybe even have you start it." She told him. He gave a dry chuckle before he spoke.
" Well I don't know about you but I think we both need a shower." He said with a smile.
She nodded as she went to stand up. She took a step and almost collapsed due to her knees shaking and weak. Tai coughter her and helped her to their bathroom. Sitting her down he helped her out of her clothes and turned. Thinking about how Summer almost collapsed he switched the shower for a bath and got the hot water running. Turning he saw her still somewhat basking at any lingering glow their little thing downstairs caused. Her breathing was heavy and deep. With each inhale her chest expanded pushing her bust out. He stripped down nothing and tested the rapidly filling tub.
' A little on the hot side but I think it will suffice.' he thought. Turning he picked his bride up and gently set her in the steaming water. She gave a flinch at the sudden heat but soon relaxed into its hot embrace. Tai slid in behind her and just held her lovingly as the water continued to rise. Summer was dozing in and out if her eyes were anything to go by. They were closed and her head leaning back to rest on his shoulder. As Tai reached over to turn the faucet off, she raised a hand and cupped his cheek. Turning his head she give him a quick kiss before the faucet was shut off. Then they just sat there. Summer sitting on Tai's lap with his arms wrapped around her middle. Each letting out content groans.
" After this, if I can manage, I need to run to the gun shop. I need to stock up on ammo and magazines for Full Bloom." She let out.
" Why?" he asked. She had enough for a couple more missions before needing to restock...unless.
" Ozpin has an assignment for me. The runner asked for a few well trained hunters to act as milta incase Grimm or Bandits come to the town. Comm tower is getting ripped out and a new one put in its place. Estimated time at most will be a month and a half." She said already knowing what he was going to ask.
He let out a deep sigh and held her tighter if that was possible. He had a sudden gut feeling something was going to go wrong.
" I am going to miss you. You know that right?" He asked her.
She knew he would. She was planning on leaving a couple of gifts behind for him incase he needed it.
" I won't be leaving till Wednesday. So we still have tomorrow. I just want you to know what is going on." She told him.
" I know yo can handle yourself just fine without me. I just have a gut feeling about something is going to go wrong." He told her being honest.
That got her to look at him.
" Are you worried I would cheat on you? Or is this something else?" Since Raven left without a trace, Tai had been a wreck. The biggest thing that he feared was she was cheating on him. That fear carried over to this marriage as well and it took a great deal on Summers part to prove to him that she was not like that at all. He did calm down a little bit but longer missions did tend to bring that out a bit more.
" No. Its something else. I don't know. I maybe worrying to much." He admitted. Tai knew he could trust her. She has proved her loyalty time and time again. So he wasn't worried about her going behind his back and sleeping with some random dude she finds. No this was a different worry. He took a deep breath and held it for a second then let it out slowly.
" I am sure I can handle it Tai. You don't need to worry about me." She tried to comfort.
" I know. But as insurance, come home safely and I will have a surprise for you. One I think you might like and one a friend suggested." He said whispering the last part in her ear.
She giggled and for the rest of the time the water was hot they stayed locked in an embrace just kissing each other passionately...and maybe had round two in the tube. Who knows but let's leave the lemon thief you pervs.
Ok so I am just going to call it here.I hope you all enjoyed the lemon. Let me know how it was. First time doing it. I personly think that Raven would be more competive in her love making while Summer is more of the passion and love.
Not a whole lot has happened. I wanted Willow to have the spot light for a little bit. I could see her being all alone not even her daughters to keep her company. Or at least not much. And her son, well I could see Jacques hogging him 24/7. All day everyday. After all, he is the one he wants to inherit the company when he passes.
Raven I wanted to give a bit more background to. I personally think that her maternal instincts would have kicked in at some point. Which is why she got a tree branch away before she get hit with reality in the form of Tai and Summer...together... With Summer pregnant. Who wouldn't be hard on them after seeing that. She was so close to coming back only to see she was replaced. I could see her being hard if not bitter towards her teammates and former lover. But not with out any good sides to her. We never really got anything as to who the original Spring maiden was so I gave a backstory to it. And again who really knew how she died. I want to give Raven a shot at redemption so that is why I had John track her down and talk.
Akron needed some form of background so we can get more of a feel for him in the upcoming chapters. So I gave him and Glynda some history, and yes he is going to get axed.
Now Oz only knows bits and pieces of John's history and vice versa. This is a decision that i made when I started this. To often I see them showing their full hands to soon. They need to earn each others trust. Which takes time and work to gain. As seen with Qrow. Although John has know Qrow for longer than Ozpin. So he had that going for him.
Ghira and Kile would have invited John to speak at a rally and he would have spoken his mind. Sienna Khan is going to make an appearance. She is going to be skeptical of John but as she grows, she will always have him in the back of her mind.
Yes the dawn is going to be rebuilt with help. And yes I believe people of Remnant would have a desire to learn more about the cosmos. Lets face it, if they don't even have a satellite up in orbit yet would be curious.
So onto reviews!
3dots: Thanks for pointing that out. I kind of feel stupid for not seeing it sooner. Hell I should have seen it when I was looking up the people on the wiki.
Thefishking: Oh don't worry he will. Maybe even next chapter. All depends. It's either ripping out a skull to beat people with, or he goes predator and rip out their spins. Needles to say it's going to be bloody and the doom slayer is going to be proud.
To both guest and sppppaaacccceee: Your vote has been logged. Although I put Noble Rose up already. It is a story I have been working on for a while and wanted out their.
SPARTAN-626: Why thank you man. Yea the Chief may seem a little bit OOC but I can explain that away. Remember he has been on Remnant for what close to a year now, if my head math is correct, and has neighbors that keep him company with visits. And visit often they do. Summer is learning Hand to Hand with John and she brings the two purest little girls in the world. I would think that would rub off on him and get him out of his armored shell for a bit. As to a four legged companion...Zwei? Weather or not he comes out of the next chapter OK is something I will need to play with. And Ironwood, would he be a general at this time? I don't know. Even if he isn't I am was going to have him come off as a derp face and try to take away all that John has...until he gets a dressing down from someone that death itself is scared of. Then they make nice and become friends. The whole ' I need to prove I am better than you' or ' I need this to seal a deal' or something along those lines. Impressing a suppioure that is the phrase I am looking for.
Kokugastu: If you love how I am portraying Cortana, then you are going to love when her rampony comes back. I don't want to say much and spoil it, but let's just say a certain merc with a mouth will be proud of her. And I am going to have so much fun with her.
And with that I am going to let my reign of terror come to a close. Remember to read, comment ( Keep it clean and civil ) or PM if need be. And if any of you are in the midwest of the USA, Wisconsin to be more accurate...for the love of God bring a damn shovel and remember the Wisconsin Motto, " Welcome to Wisconsin, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. It will change...maybe not the way you want but it will change." Seriously, in one week we had a sunny day with a high in the 40s if memory serves, rain the next day followed by snow and then a freaking deep freeze. All in a week! A WEEK! Damn Wisconsin is bipolar or something. Cant make up its mind. Or is Elsa and the Winter Maiden pissed off at someone? If so please apologize, if they are just messing around having fun… um just throw snowballs at them I gess?
Well that is all for me, I will see you guys on the virtual battlefield.
