Ok, boys and girls, readers of 18 and older, Red October700 is back again for another chapter. Woow. Are you guys as excited as I am? No. Well then its just me excited to give you guys this chapter becasue it took a long ass time to make, and the writers block was a bitch. Well not a block as in I dont know where to go but as in as I know where to go but not sure how to put it down on paper if that makes sence.
So in the last chapter we got a look at derp face Schnee try to discredit John and mostly lock his wife away and out of her own children's reach, Raven meeting John or well the Master Chief. Both a fight and a talk. Ozpin got a taste of who and what John is. Not the whole thing. Just the last mission from Halo 3 and the sudden wormhole, finding out more about Akron and his stupid face as well as Gallen, a second talk with Raven and more backstory about the spring maiden before Raven as well another talk, and that lemon at the end. And with that I need to ask, how was it? It was a first and ackward for me to write. So criticism is welcome.
So now it is time for the now. A quick bop it. The first section of this is going to be very adult. Not really lemon just adult themed. There is also another lemon in here so I will warn you guys before hand, also some questionable things and, I hate that I even needed to write this, but some forced penitration will happen.
' Its rape isnt it?' Yells a random reader.
Yea...I feel dirty for even writing it. I realy do, and am going to take a shower in battery acid.
BRB.

" TASTE OBLIVIAN YOU FOOL!" " Slam"
Ok do not open the door. I will see you guys at the end.
It was a usual Tuesday morning on the island of Patch. A log house is seen in the woods with a small shed off to the side. On the second story of the house, we see a window with the blinds open. Looking through the said window we see a bedroom. One set up for a married couple. On the bed we see a woman with black hair cuddled up to a blond-haired man who had an arm around her, holding her close. Summer and Tai were sleeping in for an extra hour before Tai had to head out for work.
Summer stirred and opened her silver eyes and smiled at seeing her hubby still sleeping. Bringing a hand up she started to explore his chest. She has done this a thousand times before but each time she did, she was reminded of what she had. Tai had a built body that showed that he enjoyed hitting the gym at least three times a week. He may not be a bodybuilder but he still had eye candy for her, and her alone. So she took the time to feel him up a bit.
His pecs were defined and sharp. His abs could be used as a washboard. His arms were powerfully built the same with his legs. All in contrast to her slender and petite frame, he dwarfed her. But in her time as leader of her team with him, she found she could use his size to help everyone. And the fact that she found ways to use their different sizes in their love life.
It wasn't long till he stirred and woke up. The first thing he noticed was a slender hand traveling his chest. Smiling he pulled her closer and kissed her.
"Morning my rose." He said
" Morning to you as well my Dragon." She replied.
After sharing a second kiss, he sat up with the sheet falling off his chest as he stretched his arms with a couple of pops and cracks. Summer just laid there on her side watching her husband stretch, drinking him in. He stood up and walked to his dresser to start getting ready. He, like Summer, was nude having had a third round on the bed. She smiled at that. What started as a message, that both parties forgot about, with a cocoa butter moisturizer and a full body massage, turned into another moment of passion. Summer sat up, holding the bed sheet to her chest as she watched Tai get ready for the day ahead.
" I am going to get the girls this afternoon. And you don't need to worry about supper. Ok, hun?" She asked as she let the sheet drop so she can get dressed.
Tai, who only had on a pair of shorts and was reaching for a shirt, looked at her and nodded.
Tai knew full well that whatever Summer made it was bound to be good. Whether it be a tried and true or something new, it was always good.
" What are you planning on making?" He asked.
Summer stopped searching her dresser to think about it. There was a dish that Amethyst had mentioned that sounded good.
" Something Amethyst mentioned that I wanted to try. I was going to get the recipe from her when I get Ruby."
Tai shrugged and slipped on his shirt before walking up behind her and wrapped her in an embrace. Taking a breath he took in her scent. The lingering scent of the lotion he used last night mixed with her natural scent was intoxicating. Planting a kiss on the top of her head he went to the kitchen to grab a quick bite to eat and possibly a cup of coffee before he has to get to work. She stood there thinking before she grabbed a silk robe and went downstairs to see her hubby off.
When she got down to the kitchen she saw him buttering a couple of pieces of toast and pouring a glass of OJ. She helped him out by making a quick lunch for him and with one last quick kiss, he was gone.
Now she was alone in the house. The girls were at John's and Tai was on his way to work. Taking a breath she went to the girl's room and retrieved a camcorder that she stowed away last night before Tai got home. With the camera in hand, she went back to her room and, after powering it on, she began recording.
Adult theme thing incoming! Insert Call of Duty Modren Warfare 2 nuke sound affect.
" To my wonderful husband Tai.
I am leaving this as well as some other things for the month-month and a half long assignment I will be on. I am sure you will get lonely with only Ruby and Yang to keep you company. So I am going to leave a small teaser as to what all is to come." She said with a smile.
With that she scooted back on the bed so the camera can get a full view of her, then she spread her legs and started to finger herself. Her moans echoed through the bedroom as she sat their legs open, two fingers deep in her and her robe was open enough that her part of her nipples was showing. It was not long after till she gave a scream of extocy as she reached orgasm. After she came down off of her high she sucked her fingers clean of herself all with a seductive look. She blew a kiss at the camera before she turned it off to get ready for the next act.
She took the time to not only her next act ready but also to get herself ready as well. She went to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. This is going to be a long and tiring morning and it was. She had enough recordings of her in many different costumes in many different areas around the house. Nurse, Maid, Schoolgirl, a superhero, regular lingerie, and even her combat gear. She did all sorts of things as well. Stripping in the house and outside as well as strip teasing. She used all sorts of methods of masturbating all in the hopes of Tai needing to relieve himself.
That was only one part. Now came the second part. The one that she would need a second pair of hands for. A naughty calendar that will count down till she gets back. And for that, she needed a camera person. And she would be showing up in a couple of minutes. Taking the time she made herself a snack and a tall drink of water. She was in her Maids outfit munching on a couple of carrots when a knock was heard.
When she answered it there stood a woman who struck a resemblance similar to her except instead of red highlights with silver eyes, she had blue highlights and blue eyes. This was June Rose. Her older sister who happens to be a photographer.
" SUMMER!" She shouted as she wrapped her sister in a hug.
" JUNE!" She greeted and hugged her back. After a minute or two, the broke the hug and June was let into the house and to the table.
" So what can I help my baby sister out with that requires me to bring my camera?" She asked.
Summer blushed as she gave an answer. " I am going on a mission tomorrow and I am leaving Tai a, well I guess the right way to put it is a naughty care package and I got some home videos recorded, now I want to leave behind a calendar counting down the days till my return." She shyly said.
June raised an eyebrow. " A naughty care package huh. So do you mind if I see what you got and maybe even help out with different shots?" She asked.
Grabbing the camera she used she handed it over to her sister. She sat and skimmed through the recording blushing as she watched her sister slowly strip naked whispering naughty things to the camera before she started to play with herself. After she was done she took a deep breath before she gave her input.
" Phoooo. Ok if you want my opinion, I would redo some of these videos. If for no other reason then with me here and able to get even better shots of you. And maybe even have a bit more naughty stuff in it as well" She said.
Summer gave her a questioning look.
" What do you mean by more naughty stuff?" She asked. Out of the two of them, June was the one that was more free-spirited. She was Bi-sexual and was always wondering what it felt like to sleep with other women. She would not suggest the two of them having lesbian sex just to give Tai another thing to relieve himself with. Would she?
" June are you suggesting what I think you are?"
" Having lesbian sex with my sister to give her husband another video to jack off too while you are out on assignment? Why yes." She replied.
Summer had a blush on her face. But before she could answer June beat her to it.
" Look. If you are worried that you are cheating on Tai, you are not. You are giving him a fantasy that most men would love. And it is not like you are doing this with some random stranger. It is me your older sister who wants to help." She said.
" June we are siblings! Do you have any idea how wrong this is? This is incest! Why would you suggest this!?" she exclaimed.
" Look, Sis. Why don't we do the photo shoots and let you think about it and after we are done and the pages are printed, then we can discuss this some more? OK? "
Summer nodded and with that, she and June started the photoshoots.
An hour went by. Now it was time to print and assemble them.
So now came a decision. One that she did not really want to think about. Whether or not to take June up on her offer. Secretly though, she was thinking about something like this to leave for Tai or to even have a threesome. So she took the risk that he would not be mad.
" So Summer did you come to a decision?" June asked.
Summer took a breath before she nodded. " Ok. Fine, let's try it. But first we reshoot some others and after that, YOU leave a message saying what is about to happen and why as well as a reassurance that I am not cheating nor am I turning." She said.
" Deal. Now let's get you dressed up in some sexy things and make you look hot."
" Ok I think THAT should do it don't you think?" Summer asked starting to feel everything.
June only nodded.
" Ok, I am going to shower up, get dressed and get Ruby." Summer informed.
" Where is she anyway. I haven't seen her at all and I kind of forgot that she would be here. Is she at a sitters house?" She asked shakily getting to her feet.
" Yea. Do you want to accompany me to go get her?"
" Sure. Why not. Do you mind if I shower with you? It would be faster." June said.
" Ok fine. Let's get going. Cuz we need to get this video made."
Fifteen minutes later both women were clean. Summer was in a clean pair of jeans and a world's number one mom shirt. And June was in the skirt and shirt she came in. Summer had saved all the lingerie she wore that morning to give Tai something to have her sent on. She would bag them and put them aside when she gets home.
But one thing she would like to know.
" June, how long to get that video ready?" She asked.
" We got one last thing to do and that is an enjoy the show kind of deal. Other than that I can get this done in an hour." June replied.
" Ok lets get Ruby and then I need to get groceries for supper. You want to stay for it?" She asked.
To say June was impressed with the Mendezes would be an understatement. She openly stared at John with an open mouth and drool. When she met Amethyst she just about lost it. She went as far as asking if they were single. They both said yes and she then asked if she could date them. That got a chuckle from Amethyst and a confused look from John. Ruby Ran up to Summer and was brought up into her mother's embrace. Before June could question any further Summer got the recipe Amethyst likes to use for lasagna and went to the store.
As Summer was making dinner and Ruby was in the living room playing, June took the time to edit and compile all the home moves that she and Summer made that morning. She was tapping away at her keyboard and dragging the mouse around with practiced ease. One thing was on her mind however and it was driving her crazy. She finally gave up on it and just spat it out.
" Summer. What are your neighbors like? What can you tell me about them." She asked.
Summer paused in making supper and thought about it.
" Both are unique people. John was a heavy black-ops soldier in the navy. So he has a lot of stories to tell but can't. He has this, what is the word, disconnect i guess from people. He had no younger brothers and sisters to take care of until Amethyst came along. And even then he was in training and never had to take care of her. In fact, it was only around seven years ago did he find out she was a thing. Kind of sad when you stop to think about it. He devoted himself to his job and protecting people he kind of buried or lost his own humanity. When he retired they got together and she has been doing all she could to catch up for the lost time and to coax his humanity back out of the whole it was buried in." Summer said summing John up. " in short he is a solder that is still on the battlefield mentally. A good man and a really good friend."
" That is kind of sad to hear. I feel bad for the guy. Does he know that he has a body many men would kill to get? I can talk from experience that the few dudes who had a built bod like that, they had women swooning." June said. She then looked at her sister. " You ever wonder what he looks like without the threads?" She asked with a mischief undertone.
Summer froze. Did her sister just ask if she ever wondered what John looked like naked? She replayed the question again and again. She did ask but should she answer.
" You have, haven't you. Oh, my sweet baby sister checking out another man wondering what he has! Oh, you are so dirty and naughty." June said with a laugh.
Summer turned with burning red cheeks which just confirmed her sister's question.
" I might have thought about it for a moment or two but I am a married woman. Tai is more than enough for me!" She whispers shouted. June quietly laughed.
After she was done and Summer went back to cooking did she ask further. " So what can you tell me of Amethyst?"
" She, she is a woman that, I can't really describe her. She has an energy about her similar to Ruby. And she has a love for the girls that rival my own. When we first met it over a holo-call and one could see the excitement in her eyes as Ruby and Yang talked to her." Summer started, " She is a joyous person full of life and passion. In a way, she is Johns humanity. All the landscaping you saw, she did that." Summer told her.
June looked a bit surprised before she went back to her computer.
" Why ask?" Summer well asked.
" Just wondering what kind of people they are. I might ask them both out on a date. Might help the big guy out if he had an actual date. You said he was military right? Why not ask him for some pointers on hand to hand?"
" He has actually and while I am still garbage at hand to hand I do have some simple basics down." Summer responded with a smile.
" Well, that is good. Now you can beat up Tai if he steps out of line." June said lightly with a chuckle. Summer just rolled her eyes with a small smile and went back to work.
Not even twenty minutes later did June say she was done and now it was just a matter of putting it on a disk. Summer grabbed one of the empty disks they had on the off chance they wanted to record a program off of the TV or put some pictures or videos from their scrolls or cameras on. The transfer took another fifteen minutes and when it was done, Summer took a sharpy and wrote a simple XXXX SUMMER ROSEXXX with small hearts dotted on it. June put it its case and then in the box they picked out to put it, the Callander, the bag of lingerie, and some stuff for Tai to use in the box and slid it under the bed.
" Ok, that is done. I can't thank you enough June for all the help." Summer said as she gave June a hug. June returned the hug before replying with " That is what sisters are for."
The rest of the day was spent with June and Summer playing with Ruby or doing other chores around the house. Yang got home around 3:30- 4 o'clock-ish. After that, the girls played as the grown-ups did whatever was needed until supper was ready. Tai got home a tad late saying he had to watch over students in detention. Not unusual but Summer was hoping for a little more time before they turned in for the night.
At six o'clock supper was done and the family sat down to eat. After a quick grace, they dug in.
" Hunny, these are good. What did you do?" Tai asked.
" It was nothing much. Just a new spin on a classic dish." Summer said with a smile.
It has always pleased Summer to know that her food could always make something that brought praise. The two children and three adults chowed down with humms of approval. Simple small talk was exchanged with Yang asking Ruby how her day was at Johns, or Tai asking what June was doing here and Summer simply saying she needed a second pair of hands for something.
It wasn't long till June gave Yang and Ruby a hug goodbye. Then hugged her sister and hubby leaving him a cryptic message simply saying that Summer loves him and to put any blame on June herself. Tai quirked an eyebrow at that. After June left he asked Summer what that meant but all he got was a " Don't worry about it".
With that, they changed into their sleep whare and did their nightly routine and went to bed with Tai wrapping Summer in his arms in a protective and loving embrace.
In another house somewhere in Vale, well multiple houses, to be honest, a number of people received a notification on their scroll. The message was simple.
To all recipients:
Do to your skills in your respective fields, you have been selected for a new assignment. You are to report to the following address. Your transfer from your duties has been sent to upper management and to John himself.
When you arrive, present your credentials and the guards will escort you to the building that you will receive your new orders from. More details will be presented on site.
Treat this message as classified eyes only.
Report to this address and warehouse at 0730.
7709 Iron RD, Warehouse 01.
Food and drink will be provided.
Each person who received the message had looks of curiosity as they read the message. As they turned in for the night, they each had one thing on their mind. What did these people want with us and how will it affect their families.
John was looking over the set of handguns he had built. It was only late morning and John had a gut feeling. What he could not say but all he knew it had to deal with Summer. So he took two M6c's and customized them. White body with black accents. Most found this variant useless, but with his touch, they had more a bit more punch to them. He would let her name them as was custom for hunters. He knew she would geek out about them but who could blame her. He smiled at his work. All that was needed was the holsters and that was easy. Again white and black to go with her color scheme, but had one add on that she would not notice. A tread microphone as well as a hairpin camera. Did it seem a little stalkerish or some other questionably wrong, yes but he had a reason? He was trained long ago to trust his gut. And his gut was telling him that he was going to need to know what she was doing at any given moment. He took a deep breath. He did not like the feeling that he would be spying on her. The whole family would resent him and he could not blame them. But again he felt like he had to.
He looked at the clock and saw it was close to eleven thirty. Sighing he went upstairs and found Cortana at the table working on something, a puzzle most likely. She may be in a body but her mind was still a supercomputer and she often needed a distraction. Epicly with her feeling on edge as well.
She was building away with her knee bouncing under the table humming a small tune. She gave a growl and stood up needing to stretch her legs. " Hey John, I have been having this feeling that I can't describe. It feels like anxiety but about what I am not sure about."
" It's in your stomach isn't it." it was a fact, not a question.
She nodded and he told her he felt the same. The first part of the morning was spent at warehouse 01 informing those that they assembled of what they were going to be doing and that it was under the utmost secrecy. They could not tell anyone of what they were working on. They were given only the barest of details of their past. Only what they needed to know to get a hanger built and get repairs done on the Dawn. When they dropped the bombshell of John being the Chief many people had jaws dropped. It was only 12:30 and the gut feeling started when they got up. And as the day went on it only intensified. When they got home at quarter to eleven John went to his workshop and got to work on something while she took to a puzzle to try and ease the feeling. The feeling like something bad was going to happen to either John or someone she knew.
" Yea. I can't seem to place what it is. It's just.."
" like you feel something is going to happen to you or someone you know. That makes two of us." He told her.
Changing the subject she asked what he was doing downstairs.
" Customizing a pair of M6C's for Summer as well as a bowie knife," he told her.
At the mention of Summer Rose, Cortana now knew the whom she felt this anxiety for. It was her friend.
" Well, now I can place my finger on the who. Can you do me a favor and put some ONI tech in the guns or holsters? Thread mic or camera or something to keep an eye on her to make sure she is safe. " She asked. All he said was that he was two steps ahead when they heard a knock at the front door.
Looking at each other John went to the door. What he found was surprising.
Summer was in her closet picking out battle clothes and casual for her mission. She already packed her undergarments and PJs. Now it was her combat gear and stuff for casual strolls. One would think that a Huntress would be comfortable in her combat attire all the time, but Summer was different. She liked to pack at least a couple of things that were not for combat on the off chance she was invited to a formal dinner or something. And while combat gear was acceptable, she wanted to be approachable as well. It also helped for blending into the crowd to discreetly get information. She had a couple of fo combat skirts and blouses already packed now it was casual. Jeans and a t-shirt always worked as well as some dresses. So she packed a couple of sets of each. With that, she got a plastic bag and grabbed her toothbrush and paste as well as floss and put them in a ditty bag. She grabbed her bath soap and shampoo and conditioner. She grabbed her razor and shaving cream as well as some feminine products.
She gathered everything up and set everything by the front door. Now it was her maintenance gear. That was on the table with the new magazines and boxes of ammo. Pushing her bangs out of her face she mentally checked off everything she had. Now for the sitter. She hated depending on John and Amethyst the way she has been but they were close Amethyst always made time for them. She gave a sigh. Glynda would be teaching and Qrow was out doing whatever.
She went back to her bedroom for one final thing. A chain to put her wedding band on. She never went without it. She had heard stories of people who took off their wedding rings and either forgot about it and wound up losing it, or the misinterpretation it could bring, and she would be damned if someone wanted to try and make a pass on her thinking she was single. No, if they make a pass on her knowing she was taken, then she can easily tell them to shove it. And if they don't take the hint? Well, she may still be garbage at hand to hand, but she can still kick a guy in the jewels hard enough to make his kids feel it.
As she was looking around her small necklace hanger, Ruby walked it. She saw her mom looking for something and took to the bed. As she crawled up she saw a wrapped box just sitting there.
" Mommy, who's pwesent is this?" She asked reaching for it.
" That is for daddy sweety." Summer said quickly. It was indeed for Tai. But one to open at night when the girls are in bed.
" OK. Are going to work?" She asked.
Summer smiled and chuckled before she stopped her search for the chain and picked up her youngest daughter. " Yes, petal. Mommy has a mission to go on and she is going to be gone for awhile." She said. Ruby looked like she was going to cry but held strong. " But don't you worry, Mommy will be back and will bake you a double batch of cookies. How does that sound?" She said booping her nose. Ruby smiled but still had a tear slid down her cheek.
As she held her she sat down and gently rocked her humming a tuneless melody to calm her down. It seemed to have worked as Ruby snuggled into her shoulder. Summer set her on the bed and kissed her forehead before she went back to her search. She found it just as the front door was opened. Summer went to the kitchen and was surprised to see Yang looking at her suitcases. Yang turned to see her mother figure looking at her with confusion and a little bit of shock.
" Yang your home! Why?" She asked.
" Oh, we had half a day!" She said with excitement.
"Oh, that is nice." Summer said.
Yang looked at the table that had Summers cleaning kit and then back to her suitcases.
" You got a mission don't you?" Yang asked.
" Yea I do. I am going to be gone for a month and a half. I should be back in time for Ruby's birthday however so you can count on that. Now I need you to help me get her ready. You are going to John and Amethysts house till Dad can come to get you after work." Summer said
Yang gave an OK and set to get her backpack and some other things to play with for her and her sister.
Summer smiled and went back into her room. She undid the chain and slid her wedding band onto it before she put it on. With that, she grabbed the girls and took them to the Menendez residents.
And since she arrived without calling you can imagine the surprise on John's face when he opened the door.
" Summer?!" He said confused." I was not expecting you to come by. Please come in." he said opening the door and standing aside to let her and the girls pass. She thanked him and walked in.
Ruby and Yang ran to John and hugged him in greeting before doing the same with Amethyst and then running off.
" Summer! It's nice to see you again, even if we did only see you yesterday. So what can we do for you?" She asked.
" I have a mission to go on and I need someone to watch the girls till Tai get off of work." She said. The smile Amethyst had disappeared so suddenly one would have thought she imagined it.
" Is something wrong?" She asked.
John said that he would be right back and went for the basement. Amethyst reached her hand out and asked for her scroll. She asked why and she simply said that they were looking for the perfect excuse to try. And it was a setting for longer distance within scrolls. Little did she know that she was setting it up for linking up with a sat in orbit.
"Amethyst, what is going on?" She asked getting a little worried at everyone's change of mood. The joy and upbeat attitude of Amethyst turned to concern and serious, with John being even more stoic and cautious. Like he was listening to his surroundings looking the enemy.
Before Amethyst could answer, John returned with a box. She turned to him and asked him the same question but with more worry.
" When I was in boot, our CO often had us split into teams for exercises. Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, elimination. All to keep us sharp and to learn tactics. One thing that we found out and was confirmed by our CO was to trust your gut. It knows things and sometimes better than you do. Listing to it has gotten me out of a number of ambushes that I otherwise would have walked right into." He told her, " The reason I am telling you this is because both Amethyst and myself have had a gut feeling this whole day. And it concerns you and this mission you are going on." He finished. He then held the box up to her and told her to take it. She did and opened it. Inside were two white and black handguns as well as extra magazines. She also saw him set down two white holsters for said guns with a blade resting on top.
" John what…"
" Take them. I have a feeling you may need the firepower." was all that he told her.
She took one of the pistols out and examined it. It was small as to be expected from a sidearm.
" I rebuilt them from the original design. They were at first not the greatest but with my touch, they got a bit more of a punch. Combined with the high rate of fire, they should be able to let you get out of a sticky situation." He told her. When she picked up the knife she gaped at the length. Its length was her forearm and was made to be sheathed on her back or a breastplate. Chiseled into the blade were a set of charters. 坏蛋, what these meant she would have no idea of or a clue. Luckily John was there to translate and explain. When she found out it meant complete badass, that it made her raise an eyebrow.
" From what I have seen of you in the field, you have earned it. And I am sure the sec-ops division that blade came from would agree." He told her by way of a compliment. She smiled at the thought of a bunch of hardcore soldiers would call her a badass.
" Again why give me this?" She asked.
" We both feel like something is going to happen to you. We can't say what or how, but stay vigilant and be safe." he told her.
She nodded and slipped the holsters on and then loaded the magazines up. Each with a different type of dust. She then slipped them in a pouch and the knife strapped to the small of her back.
She grabbed one of the handguns and slid it into a holster, but paused with the second one. She looked it over again getting more of a feel for it.
" Do they have a name?" She asked John.
Shaking his head he told her that they were hers and that naming them was up to her.
She thought about it but could not come up with anything yet. So she just holsters it, fingering if she could not come up with a name for them now, then in the field. She looked at her scroll that Amethyst had given back to her and checked the time.
' Almost one. I gotta get going.' She thought. Turning to John and Amethyst she said her goodbyes and gave one last hug to her daughters before she left.
Ruby and Yang watched as she left. They then took John's hand and looked up at him.
" Is mom going to be OK?" Yang asked. She sounded worried as if she felt like something is going to happen to her mother. He looked down to Ruby and saw the same look in her eyes.
Letting a small smile form he looked at the girls. " She'll be fine. I have full confidence that she will get the job done with no worries." He told them. That seemed to calm them a bit. He was racking his brain trying to figure out what to do on such short notice. He knew Cortana would have something but him? He would be lucky to plan a successful gathering on a small social level, but to entertain two girls? That was out of his realm of expertise...very out of his realm of expertise.
…
…
…
He is going to need some help.
This. This is not good. John has been in many situations that found him in odd and strange situations. From crawling under barreks and unintently listing in on something that he probably shouldn't have, to killing covenant in a theater playing a thing for adults. To say his fifteen-year-old mind was confused would be accurate. But this? This takes the cake.
How do people do this and not feel awkward, uncomfortable, and silly? Cortana was not helping either. He looked down at his hands that were resting on the table, not knowing what to do. Those hands that were used to shoot, stab, and break his enemies. Big and small. But these enemies? They had him backed to a wall. He could not fight them and they knew it.
" So John, how was your tea?" Yang, the blond little demon asked.
He looked at the small gap between his hands to the little plastic cup was resting. Oh God. how should he answer? There was nothing in it. Cortana was enjoying her invisible drink. She looked at him with a smile and a wink.
" It was...it was good." He said trying to get into this, this, thing, that the girls like to play.
He was praying, PRAYING, to someone, anyone to save his ass.
' I am so glad the others are not here to see this. They would probably be laughing their ass's off. Hell, even the covenant would have died laughing at him.
Yes. The master chief, Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan John 117, was playing tea party with Ruby, Yang, and with someone who took over Cortana's body because she was really getting into it. But he must make sure the girls are entertained and out of trouble.
Tai must be getting out soon he hoped and would take him out of this situation, because he needed to get ready for the White Fang meeting that night.
Tai had just finished his lecture and with the kids out of the room, he took the time to check his scroll to see if he had any messages. He found two waiting for him. One was from his beautiful loving wife saying that before he gets the girls, to head home for a surprise that she left for him on the bed. The second one was from John surprisingly. All it said was HELP ME!
' What are the girls doing to him?' he thought. Deciding to check it out later he packed up and headed for home. He parked and went to the master bedroom where a wrapped box sat.
Raising an eyebrow he opened the card on top.
Open and use when the girls are asleep or out of the house.
Enjoy yourself.
Love your wife: Summer Rose.
His curiosity was peaked. Opening the box the first thing he saw was a DVD with Summers name on it with hearts and x's on it. Putting it to the side he pulled out the next which was a thick book held by a spiral band. It had a picture of Summer casually leaning on a tree. He put it aside as well with a mental note to look it over later and reached back into the box to pull out a bag full of Lingerie?
' When did she get so much and why put it in a bag and then give it to me?' he asked with a confused face.
Reaching in one last time he pulled out a thing that was supposed to be used to help get him off he guessed. But again why?
Putting in the DVD in the player they had in their room and turned on the TV. It started almost right away.
It started off with Summer in a silk robe just sitting on the bed addressing him. Saying that he may get lonely and so she left him the present. And a taste of what is to come? He tilted his head as Summer scooted back aaaand queue the segment up top. Let's just say by the end of her little intro, he was beet red and had a trickle of blood running from his nose. He looked down at his tent and just simply asked what it's doing up.
Looking through the book he found it a Callander… a calendar that counted down till her return in a very naughty fashion.
After calming down and putting everything away he decided to go and get the girls and see what had John, a man who could look death in the face and make it flinch, call out for help.
As he got in the car a familiar feeling crept back up his spine. The feeling like Summer was going to be in over her head.
Pushing it down he left the house for Johns. It was not long until he was at the front door and knocking. The door opened with Amethyst standing there with a smile.
" Tai, come in come in!" she ushered excitedly. He rolled his eyes as he entered and saw his girls running up to him. He dropped to a knee and opened his arms as they ran into him with hugs.
" Were my girls well behaved for John and Amethyst?" He asked.
They both nodded with Amethyst smiling.
" They were very well behaved. Even managed to get John to play with them." She said.
Tai's eyebrows shot up at that. " You mean to tell me. John a man I have come to know as a badass on steroids that death himself runs away from, was taking time to play with my little girls?" He asked.
All she did was nod as he mentally did a reset. " Was that why he sent me this?" He asked pulling out his scroll and showing her the message he received from John. She read it and then just shrugged. " What did they do to him?" He asked.
" Oh, nothing much really." She said and then in a voice only she could hear " At least until later when this dumbass gets to it."
( Really Cortana? I know you want to see John forced into a very awkward situation with everyone else present but damn! Calm down, women!)
Cortana just looked out towards the reader but more so to the author and subtly flipped him off.
" Cortana, babe. We are going to need to adjust your attitude. Just calm your tits and we will see John in some funny moments down the line OK?"
" Grrrrrr. Fine."
" Amethyst, I have a feeling that one, you were talking to someone else and two, more has happened then you are letting on," Tai said.
" You are not wrong." She replied.
They both walked into the kitchen to see John at the table looking over some papers with a plastic tea set on the other end.
' Did they do what I think they did?' " John. You asked for help?"
" It's over now so don't worry about it," John told him as he turned around to face Tai.
" I was aware of Ruby being dropped off, but Yang? I thought she would have been home waiting for me." Tai quired
" Summer mentioned that Yang had a half a day."
At the mention of his wife's name, he grew a concerned look.
" You feeling OK Tia?" John asked his friend seeing his face.
" Just a feeling. I think Summer is going in over her head on this mission without her knowing it."
"I can assure you, Summer is going to be fine. Both Amethyst and I made sure of that." John said facing Tai.
" What are you telling me, John. That you planted hidden cams and mics on her to see what she is doing?" He asked with a bit of sarcasm.
When he did not get a response he looked at John and Amethyst. They both had looks that said they were not kidding around.
" By the gods, you did didn't you," Tai said shocked that they would do such a thing. " I feel like I should report you two or something. You know what I think I shall. Yang! Ruby, get in the car! We are lea…" He was interrupted by John clamping a hand over his mouth and forcing him against the wall.
" Tai, I need you to listen very carefully," John said in a voice that could kill.
" I know it seems like we crossed a line, and in a sense we did. But it was for a God damn good reason. Now I am going to give you a set of instructions and you are going to fallow them to the letter. We are going to go into the basement and I am going to give a bombshell that will change your world view. After that, you are going to go home and think things over. Tomorrow I want you to come back. Ask Glynda to watch the girls and come right here. And I want to ask yourself a couple of questions. One of which is why would I spy on your wife if it wasn't for her protection. And believe me when I say that both me and Cortana have had the same gut feeling since this morning. That she is going in above her head. Yea, you are not the only one who has that same feeling."
Tai just looked at John with spite but knew that if he wanted to John could snap his neck like a twig. Growling he nodded. John let him go as Tai took a few breaths. He then followed John down the steps into the basement.
" Now tell me why I should not have you arrested." Tai spat.
" What do you know of the SPARTAN?" John asked.
" Not much. What does that have to do with this."
" His rank is a Master Chief Petty Officer. I am a Master Chief Petty Officer of the UNSC Navy. Has'ent ever occurred to you the similarities between him and me?" He asked.
" You have the same rank so what. And navy of the UNSC? What is that?
" United Nations Space Comand. And no I am not pulling your leg. I know that you originally wanted joined Beacon at first as a thrill seeker, then doing it as a way of protecting your upcoming child. When Raven left, both Summer and Qrow helped you stay on your feet with Summer being their more often than Qrow. After a slow burn, you two had a drunk night out and she conceived Ruby. You then married her so Ruby would not grow up without a father figure, and so that you might get another chance to have a life with someone you loved." John said straight-faced.
Tai was shocked. Only Summer, Raven, Qrow and the SPARTAN knew that. How did John know that? " How do you know that?" Tai asked.
" Come back tomorrow. And everything will be explained. That is if you want to know. Because if you want to know my secret, it will cost you. And if you tell anyone it will cost you even more." Was all John told him? John looked at his watch. " I need to go. Think about what all I have said. And start connecting the dots that I have given you."
With that, John went down the steps with Tai following right behind. Amethyst was at the door with the girls, school bag around Yang's shoulder.
Tai ushered them into the car and drove home, all the while thinking about what John was implying. Could he really be the Master Chief? The same armored man that saved his bacon more than twice. The one that can single-handedly clear out a nest and take on a team of bandits and win? Through the rest of the night, he thought about what John had said and started to connect the dots. The rank, the skill, the design of the weapons, hell even his voice and physique. He helped Yang with what little homework she had and did what he could to keep Ruby entertained. After dinner, the girls went into the living room and watched a movie while he took a step outside. He withdrew his scroll and looked for someone to watch Ruby tomorrow. He stopped at Qrow's name. Should I or shouldn't I, was the thought he had.
He pressed the call button and waited. There was a pause as Qrow picked up.
" Hrahaaa, Tai what can I do for you at this time of night?" Qrow asked sounding a little tipsy.
" Can you watch Ruby tomorrow? John asked me to talk to him tomorrow. "
As John pulled up to the warehouse, he was met with Ghira and Kile aproching him.
" Ghira. Kile. How are you two this evening?" He asked them.
" John I think we have a problem," Ghira told him.
" What is it?" He asked
Instead of answering Ghira pulled something out of his pocket. It was a magazine for a handgun.
" We found this as well as a couple of others taped to the underside of a couple of tables. I am not sure if your men put them there as a worst-case scenario or if someone is planning on trying to shoot the place up, but we are rightfully worried." Ghira told him.
" I see and I understand. However, none of my men don't use this kind of ammo. It has to be someone else." John informed. By this point, they were inside and were talking amongst people. " I will find one of my security guys and have him and a few others stand watch and check people as they come in," John said as he took his scroll out and dialed someone. Finding the right guy he started a group call with two others.
" Boss. What can we do for you?" came a voice thick with a Nordic accent.
" I need you, Canis, and Scarlet to gear up and head up security. Ghira found a number of magazines taped under tables and is suspecting trouble. Contact those you guys can trust and get here ASAP."
" Sure thing boss. I will gather the pack and be right down." came the Italian clipped voice of Canis.
" My blade is with you, sir." Came the last voice. It had a hard grinding sound, similar to a battle-hardened Knight.
With that, John ended the call and turned to Ghira. " Three of my heads of security are coming in with a small hand full of guys to provide protection in case the unthinkable happens." He told them.
"Let us hope it does not come to that," Ghira said.
As they made their way up to the front, a woman in a black shirt and white and black pants approached. She had a dark complexion with tiger stripes tattooed onto her arms and shoulders. Her eyes were gold and had a wild neck length mane of hair. Her notable feature was her ears. Bingle tiger ears to be exact. She stepped up to the three and stopped right in front of John with furry in her eyes.
" You son of a bitch! Are you wanting to die here and now?" She spat at him flying off the handle.
" Sienna. You will not talk to John like that again. Do I make my self clear? He had nothing to do with everything that is going on." Ghira snapped at her. She did not stand down.
" How do you know? Human lie to get close to you and then stab you in the back. That is what they have done for centuries and nothing is going to change that." She spat.
" And how many times do I need to tell you, that if we trade violence with violence we are no better than those that start it! Not every human out there is racist! John is a case and point! Or have you not been listening to the few times he speaks! Get your head out of your ass and pay attention!" Ghira scolded.
Sienna looked like she was going to fight but John stopped her.
" What do you see when you look at me and my company?" He asked her calmly.
" I see a slaver just waiting for the right time to strike. And if you think I am going to stand by and wait you got another thing coming. I will free everyone here from you and make you work in the mines. You human filth."
" You are a radical aren't you?" He shot back.
" No, she just had a bad upbringing. Born in a human-dominated town where Faunas were harassed on a daily basis." Kile told him.
" I see. Well Sienna, I am sorry to hear that you had to go through that. But I would take a closer look at what we do and talk to my employees before you go down a warpath. Especially one that you can not win." He told her.
Sienna growled and turned to leave. " I will be confronting you when you stand up to talk." She hissed.
" I apologize for her. Her experience in life has been hard. She had to fight tooth and nail to get the basics in life." Ghira told him
They continued on talking unaware of the fact that Sienna did talk to John's Faunas employees. Nothing but good comments and that he and his sister are some of the greatest people here. She asked questions that got her dark looks from people. Ranging from if he should pay more to them because of race for all the things his kind did to theirs, or how he should let a Faunas be the CEO of the company if he did support them.
" Look, lady, John had not only gave me a week off to fix up my house, but he came down and helped fix it up. No charge or nothing. He even gave me a little extra for materials in my paycheck so I could fix it up. So yea he is a damn good guy and has earned the respect of everyone in this small little town. Now take your revolutionary Avenging Bull bullshit and scram!" said a cheatha faunas. After that little encounter, she tailed John and Ghira and listened in to see if she can jump on anything that John said that could be racist.
The rally was in full swing. John had just been asked a question about faunas fighting humans in self-defense.
" One should always be able to defend themselves. If you get jumped you got that right. But if you go out and attack someone for no other reason than because they are of a different race, then you are clearly in the wrong. If you see someone in trouble, lend a helping hand and help them out. Then you have the right to fight. But you should also consider the consequences for actions. People today don't think about their actions. The SDC work their employees to near death if they are faunas, and look at all the lawsuits people have thrown them, or the Fists of Unity. They are human supremacists that the regular humans don't want to be lumped in together with. Same can be said for the Bulls, they are supremacists that want world domination and most faunas don't want to be associated with them. But yet we have supremacists groups on both sides that make people lump people they don't even know in with them." John was saying while the crowd listened intently. A few, however, were only waiting for the time to strike.
Akron was in a blacked out van down the street waiting and watching from one of his goons.
He wanted to wait till he can confirm the news was there. He wanted it televised so the whole world can see that the trash is being taken care of. And to shame this John Mendez on live TV.
Ah their it is, Vale news net-work was there and brodcasting.
Ghira and Kile strode up next to John as Sienna looked down shamefully. She had crossed lines because of her prejudices and borderline racist line of thinking. She was asked to take the stand and ask her questions. He answered them. And each was like a slap to the face.
She was going to ask for forgiveness when the sound of small arms fire was herd along with screams. Screams of pain were herd as people fell over dead with pools of blood surrounding them. Everything happened in a blur. Johns security personnel withdrew their weapons and started to take on the shooters. So far there was only a few dead but more bodies were staking up. John, Canis, Ghira, Kile, Sienna, and Blake could make out yells of from people. Some calling out to their loved ones, others drawing attention to themselves while others could escape, but most of all were the shouts of the attackers. The slurs hurled at each faunas was more than loud enough. A loud screech was heard as a van drove through the fence and door into the facility, killing even more people as the tried to flee. The doos opened and more men opened fire. One, in particular, had a rifle pointed right at Ghira and fired. The round sped through the air hitting its mark. Ghira's head exploded from the bullet with Kile only having enough time to cry out in shock, before she shared his fate.
By this point John had Canis take Blake out the back with Sienna so he can concentrate.
He jumped into the fray, slamming a thugs head into the pavement.
Scarlet was swinging his sword around as his shield split to reveal a rail gun. He fired at the van crippling it and taking out more men. Thorian was swung froze several attackers in place. His left gauntlet formed a shield as he blocked an incoming strike. When an opening presented its self he swung, the blade sinking into the thug's side. Canis, who got back from getting Blake and Sienna to safety, was up in peoples with his tun-faus, delivering uppercuts and slashes. At one point he combined the two and made a sword that had a look similar to the energy sword. He gave a hard thrust into a thugs chest and swiped his sidearm and fired at any masked person in that warehouse.
Akron smiled as he watched the two faunas scum fall headless. He then started to pick off other scumbags that he saw. He saw a news crew and walked over to them. They turned and began to panic as he approached.
" Keep that camera rolling. And watch as my men take the trash out." He told them with a smug voice.
He turned back looking for more animals to kill and possibly even maim Mendez. He took shots trying to kill as many animals as possible. Grinning like a maniac all the while.
John was covered on marks of battle. Cuts were seen on his ars from knives and swords as well as from grazing shots. When he took cover and gave the order to fight, he also gave the order to kill if need be. He after he saw Canis get Blake and Sienna, he took to the field of combat. A place where he spent a good portion of his life. When he rounded the corner he caught a knife slash. He reversed the slash and shoved the blade into the thug's chest. And his killing spree only continued from there. He now saw his next target. The one whom he figured was in charge. He swiped a handgun and a knife a few kills dozen kills before.
John saw him drop a faunas human couple who were trying to flee the combat. The leader walked up to them and shot the faunas female in the chest before addressing the human male and caving in his skull.
He turned and saw John approaching him. If his eyes were anything to go by he was grinning under his mask.
" You finally showed yourself you filth. Now I can finally have my revenge." He said with savage glee.
John for his part, kept quiet and profesinal and took the enicative.
Akron blocked the knife that was thrown at him and snapped his rifle up for a quick shot. Sadly the crippling shot he was hoping for was only a grazed leg. He tried to get another shot in but was thwarted as John kicked the rifle right out of his hands.
He brought his arms up to block the roundhouse aimed for his head. John spun and did a leg sweep with Akron jumping over it when he realized that was happening. He moved so fast that he almost missed it.
' What is this guy on? Could it be his semblance, or is it his strength? It's one of those too but can't be both.' Was a thought Akron had in his head.
In all of remants history, no one had two semblances. But this guy, he might be the only one who could have two. Simply because John is both strong and faster than one without a semblance. But one could make the argument that his semblance inhances his abilatys.
After the failed leg sweep, he came up with a hard elbow to the side of the head, knocking off his mask to reveal Akron's stupid face. Akron rubbed his jaw and glared at John.
" You are going to pay for what you did on that pier." Akron spat at John.
John said nothing. Unlike Akron, John was a professional. A professional that wasted no time. He came in with a sucker punch, knocking him back a good step or two. He brought up the handgun and fired point-blank into Akron's chest, dropping his aura. He fired until it ran dry and then threw it hard into his face. Akron's head snapped back upon impact with a pained ' ooof' coming from him. With the distraction John went in and started to bring the pain.
Lisa turned to her cameraman and motioned him to roll.
" Lisa Lavender reporting live from the White Fang rally at Dawn Enterprises, where just a few minutes ago, the terrorist group known as the Fist's Of Unity showed up and started to shoot the place up. There are many wounded with more dead. John Mendez is even now fighting the presumed leader of the Fists, Akron Winchester. And by the looks of it, John has the upper hand." She reported as in the background John and Akron were trading blows with Akron getting in a few blows with John returning the jester.
The fight went on for a solid minute with John having the upper hand the whole while. That does not mean that Akron got some hits in. But not enough to really do any harm. Just annoy him.
As Akron went in with a sword slash with John getting in close and grabbing his arm. He slammed his fist into Akron's elbow joint dislocating it. Akron screamed in pain as he dropped his sword. John gave a kick to his knee breaking his leg and dropping him to his good knee.
Now, most people would think that John would just KO him and be done with it, right? Wrong. John, while not completely comfortable with killing other humans after fighting the covenant for so long, was a solder. A SPARTAN-II to be exact. Trained from the age of six to put down a human rebellion, gripped the sides of Akron's head and only said a few things just loud enough for the camera crew to hear.
" You parade yourself around as a graduate from Beacon Acadomy deceaving people to give you the valor and respect of a true huntsmen. Few things sicken me but stolen valor is one of them. For it and leading a terrorist cell, you must die. Have a nice time in hell." was all he said as he snapped Akron's neck surprising the camera crew and all those watching.
The aftermath of the night was horrific. An estimated 50 innocent people were killed with the majority being faunas. Ghira and Kile being among them leaving behind a young five-year-old daughter. Oddly enough she seemed to cling to John when he broke the news to her. And for the Fists Of Unity? Well, they were handled like one should handle a terrorist. They were dead. Deader than Church after Caboose team killing him back in blood gulch.
The police and paramedics had arrived and started to question and treat the wounded or to notify people if they needed to make funeral arrangements.
Cortana had come in straight away when she heard the news. She ran straight up to John and started looking him over. It wasn't long after that Sienna and Blake showed up. Blake again took off and ran right up to John and Cortana.
" John. She wanted to be by you." She said. She looked like she had more on her mind but was not sure how to ask it. She then saw Cortana and just looked at her.
" I did not know you had a girlfriend? I thought you were single."
" I am his sister, Amethyst," Cortana said extending her hand.
" Sienna Khan. I may or may not have been a bit hostile towards your brother, and for that, I apologize for that."
Amethyst looked like she was going rip her a new one before calming down and simply saying " Apology accepted" and turned back to her brother before she spotted Blake hugging his leg.
" Who is this little cutey?" She asked as she picked Blake up and hugged her with Blake returning the hug.
" John, what are we going to do about…" She gestured her head at Blake.
"I don't know. Have they ever mentioned anything on the off chance something like this happened?" He asked.
Sienna shook her head. She just stood there thinking about what to do about do. They had a large house in Maganei full of stuff. She would have to put it all in storage and keep the house clean for Blake when she became old enough to inherit it all. Until then she would need a home and sadly she was not cut out for parenthood. She looked back a the brother and sister team checking Blake over for any injuries. ' Maybe. '
" Hey John," She spoke getting his attention. " I am not cut out to be a parent, but she needs someone to stay with. Would you be willing to be her new father?" She asked. The faces she got from John and Amethyst were both funny and expected. But they did accept.
"Ok. I believe that child services need to come by and check your house to make sure it is up to whatever codes they need to follow. So I can watch her if you need me too. At least until everything is done." She offered.
Before they could continue, Blake asked what was going to happen to her. Amethyst and John looked at her before asking her if she would like to live and be adopted by them.
Blake, who just a couple of hours ago watched as her biological parents were killed right in front of her, was offered a new home for her to be a part of. With the joy mixing with the grief she had, she sank to her knees and cried. In a moment of shock to Amethyst and Sienna, John knelt to be eye level with her, and brought her in and embraced her as she let it all out on his shoulder. Both women shared a smile at the touching sight.
As Blake cried, a couple of people approached. A cop and a reporter.
" John Mendez?" the cop asked.
John looked at him and nodded.
" Do you have time to answer a couple of questions?"
Again John nodded.
" Why did you kill Akron Winchester, and did you encounter him before?"
" I did what any soldier, huntsmen, or officer would do in this situation. Neutralize terrorists before they can do what they were wanting to do. Kill and cause panic. I am a soldier and a soldier is to take action whether or not he is on or off duty." he started out making all sorts of sense, " and to your second question, yes I have met him before. His sons tried to kill this little girl a month or so back. I confronted him on a pier that took place."
" Ok. Do you have any verification as to your service?"
John pulled out his wallet and showed his ID. After that the officer went and questioned other people with the reporte asking pretty much the same thing. And when Amethyst saw another officer walking around she called him over and asked about adoption papers and how to get the process started.
As the girls went to bed, Tia spent an extra hour getting things ready and wondering what all tomorrow was going to have for him. He was listening to the news not really paying attention while folding clothes. That is until a certain event happened.
" Breaking News. This just in from Lisa Lavander at the White Fang rally that Dawn Enterprises warehouse. Apparently, a terrorist attack has happened. From what we are getting many people have been shot and killed with the Ghira Belladonna along with his wife being among the fatalities." The anchor was saying as the sean shifted to what was going on. Tai spotted John almost immediately fighting Akron before executing him.
' Never liked the guy but was that really necessary John? Couldn't you have just KOed him and let the police handle him?' Tai thought still with a bit loathing towards John and Amethyst. ' He said he would explain everything tomorrow.'
With that, he did one last check on the girls to make sure they were asleep before putting Summers home movie in. Not just to see his wife in the nude and playing with herself, but to hear her voice before bed. But before he could press play, he got a call. Looking at the caller ID he saw the name. Smiling he answered.
" Hey, babe. Are you at the job site?" He asked.
Laughter was heard before he got a reply. " I am. We got one last call before the teardown. So I wanted to check in. Did you get my present?" Summer asked.
Instead of answering he pressed play and held the scroll up to the TV with Summer talking dirty and moaning.
" I take that as a yes. So do you like it?" She asked shyly.
" Summ I do like it but really? You have been gone on long missions before. Why do this?"
" I just felt like being a little naughty I guess." She paused. " Tai. Can you promise me something?"
" Sure."
She took a breath. " On that DVD, you will come across something that you will not be sure about. Please do not get mad at me. I just wanted to have more for you watch and I am worried that you are going to be mad and hate me for it." She said worried and saddened.
" Summer I promise I won't be mad at you but if you could tell me what it is so I can be prepared, I guess my shock would not last long, depending on what it is. You did not have sex with another man did you?" He asked half joking.
Summer gave a half chuckle at that. " I would do no such thing. But, well I don't want to spoil it. If you need to talk to anyone than talk to June OK?"
" I will Summer. Oh did you talk to John and Amethyst before you left?" He asked.
" Yea. When I said I got a mission, they did a whole 180. Amythest's normal cheery and upbeat attitude was replaced with concern and worry, with John even being more concerned. He then said something about trusting my gut in situations and that he learned that. But to make sure I would be Ok he gave me a bit more firepower. Two side arms that he rebuilt for me with a bowie-knife. Said I earned the engraving of ' Complete Badass'." She said.
Tai had a small debate whether or not to tell Summer she was bugged but decided against it.
With that they spent the next few presious moments talking before both hung up and went to bed.
At the Menendez residents the next day we see Tai pull up. He took half a day to do this. He went up and knocked on the door and waited. It felt like an eternity before the door opened to reveal Amethyst in a blue skirt and tee shirt.
" Tai. Come in. John will be down shortly." She said. Her voice was different. It lacked the familiarity with it. It was cold and brokered no arguments. She led him to the kitchen and leaned up on the fridge.
Tai wanting to not be in a silence that felt like he was getting drowning, was the first to speak.
" I heard what happened yesterday. Is John OK?" He asked. All she did was look at him.
" Ok, so that is the mood we are going for," Tai said rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
Amethyst blew out a breath before John walked in. He motioned for them to follow back down to the basement. He stopped at a wall and opened a panel. He pressed his hand on it and then typed and spoke a key phrase. A door slid open and John then turned to him.
" Tai. When I said that this choice would cost you, I meant it, and I am giving you the choice to back out now. Because if you chose to go through that door, you are going to have a lot of new knowledge about me and the universe that does not leave that room. I need you to swear to me, on the lives of Ruby, Yang, and Summer, that you will not speak a word about what you will hear." John told him.
Tai gulped. John gave him the option to back out, but he needed answers. " I swear."
John turned and looked him dead in the eye.
" Swear on the lives of your daughters and your wife."
" I swear on my daughter's lives as well as my wife's"
" You do realize that if you break this, I will kill them before I kill you. So I ask again. Do you swear, that if you tell a soal that not only are they going to die, but your family as well."
John was being serious. " I swear it, John. If I break this, my family will die and it will be because of me." Tai said sounding a bit shaken. John nodded then clasped his shoulder.
" Welcome to a circle of trust Tai. You are the second person to know who we really are." John said turning around and walking through the door with Tai following.
He followed John down the corridor to a room with a table full of drinks and a wall mounted TV that he had to assume was for this purpose.
He sat as John and Amethyst took to the head of the table.
" I believe that since we are telling you everything, you need to know that Amythest's real name is Cortana. She was originally an AI that upon our arrival, and a number of months later got a synthetic body." John started.
Tai looked at her and back to John before doing the best thing he could think of. He held his hand out to shake.
" Cortana. Taiyang Xailong." He said.
She smiled and chuckled before returning the jester.
And so the rest of the afternoon was spent with John explaining to Tai about earth and how humanity traveled into the stars and the countless wars that ensued. The Shawfugikowa slipspace drive that drove humanity to leave their solar system and the conflicts that sprung up. To say Tai's mind was blown would be an understatement. Another humanity was out their living and fighting? All without the use of dust nor the need to worry about Grimm? It sounded like a paradise. He asked about the faunas discrimination in his world in which he found out that the faunas were remnant exclusive. That was a bit of a shock.
He was told about all smaller wars that happened before the civil war that he was meant to serve in. The ORIAN project and its successes, to its quiet shutdown, to the SPARTAN-II program. When Tai was told about the selection process, he about lost it.
" WHAT!"
Yea, I am sure we all know the history of pretty much everything here. That and I am just feeling lazy to write it all out. Sooooo….check out the source material or even the DC x Halo crossovers. Recommendations, Harbinger Of Choas.
When Tai got to the Covenant war? Well, he was glad he was here and not out there. The fighting he saw was intense, brutal and bloody. Aaaannnnd he saw a number of aliens eating the flesh of humans, both dead and alive, he had to throw up. And last but not least, how he got here. The wormhole, the crash landing, and finding out that it was him that they saw all those months back. The Dawn crashing nearby going right over their heads. Finally, by accident or on purpose, the next two things shown was Raven. First the fight and the talk they had.
Tai was stunned at her image. His first wife fought John and lived to tell the tail. The shock on her face when he said Tai and Yang's name. How she looked so vulnerable standing at a homemade headstone, and on the surface, she blamed him for moving on and slowly letting her bitterness go.
" You fought her? Is she in contact with you?"
" She has asked to place a seal in this room. She is supposed to call before she pops in." John told him. " But that was a couple of days ago."
" She has changed since our little talk. Well, I think she has. Haven't seen her since that day. Although she will be back. She finds talking to us to be kind of helpful. She wants to see you two you know. She is just scared of the result." Cortana added.
" So knowing that she has had a rollercoaster of emotions over the past couple of years, what would you say to her if she was here?"
Tai thought long and hard before he gave a sigh. " I want to be angry with her. I have every right. And if it wasn't for this" he pointed at the still of Raven, " I might still be. We are still going to have a heated talk, of that their is no doubt. But that would just be me needing to get it out of my system. Any further negative emotion would be pointless. I do forgive her. I have for quite some time. But I don't know if I can forget. And Yang? What would she think of this?" Tai was saying trailing off. He caught himself and continued. " IF, she comes back here wanting to see us, tell her that she has to earn that right. She visits me first before she even thinks about visiting Yang. And only when Summer is with me. The last thing I need is for Summer to get the wrong idea and leave, and Raven leaving yet again."
" But you do forgive her. Do you still love her?" Cortana asked.
" Not as much as I did back then. She lost that when she left without a word or trace. That love is Summer's now. But apart of me will still love her. She is the mother of one of my children. We did not go through a divorce nor did we have any messy fight prior to her leaving. I know she told you why she left but I want to hear it from her. And when the time is right, Yang and let Yang make her choice. She would be too young to remember her but I do believe in a second chance."
" That is some deep thinking Tai. Did this come on just now or have you been pondering this for a while?"
" Ehhh, a little of both." He then remembered what he asked Cortana earlier. " Completly changing the subject, what happened last night? I caught some of what happened on the news."
" Well, what happened was Akron had men infiltrate with the regular attendees and start shooting up the place with Akron driving in and running over even more. He took many lives before I put him down. He left many people without loved ones. I could not help all, but I could give one a new home. Kile and Ghira were among the dead…"
" So he adopted their daughter Blake. Being his first chance at being a dad!" Cortana said cheerily slapping down a photo of Blake. " I guess Yang and Ruby will have a playmate!"
Both Tai and John shook their heads with Tai having a smile. " Well, congratulations you two. After everything you showed me you more than deserve a happy quiet life." Tai said happily.
They talked for a bit before Tai had to go home and be with his girls. John waited until Tai was out of his little hidden briefing room before he spoke to seemingly no one.
" I thought I told you to call before portaling in?" John said.
A ceiling panel moved aside and Raven dropped down with a sheepish look on her face.
Raven looked over her camp with pride. They were doing their best to tear down the site so they can move onto another part of the world. She had spotted a place in Vacuo that was outside limits enough to not be bothered too much by any local grim and other desert hazards, nor inside enough for to be bothered by local authorities. But she had two things she wanted to do before she left. Visit May and let the Chief know she was relocating. But first was May. She strode out into the bush in May's direction. Thinking briefly she took a detour to a nearby field full of flowers. She picked numerous flowers of varying type and walked back to May's headstone. As she walked she took a hair tie and wrapped it around the stems to keep them together. Approaching the bladed cross, she paused wondering how she would react. She took a breath and approached. The previous flower long withered and died, and the Chief's bullet casing was still leaning up against the vertical blade. She leaned the bouquet on the makeshift headstone and spoke a second or two later.
" Hey May. I got some news. I have a way of potentially seeing my husband and daughter again. I had a fight with someone who tracked me down later and we had a talk. Whether or not he is an ally or not is still up for debate but, I believe if asked and given a good reason, he would pitch in. He seems like a good guy. I am sure you would take a liking to him. But he knows both Tai and Yang and I hope he can keep me in some sort of loop." She said sitting down. She had a smile on her face as Yang and Tai's faces came to mind. Her smile turned into a frown as she came to her next bit of news. " It also is time for us to relocate. I am not going to forget you but I won't be able to visit as often. I am sorry but it is that time. I love you May. You may not be my biological daughter, but I loved you like one. Until next time."
She stood and withdrew her scroll and scrolled through her contacts finding the name she was looking for. ' Where the bloody hell is his number?' she asked her self looking for the Chiefs number. When she got to the bottom of the list did she finally realize, she never got his number. She looked back at May and back to her scroll.
" Don't you say a word." She told her dead daughter. She then withdrew her weapon and thought about the seal she left at the Chief's place. She slashed and a portal formed but before she walked through she placed one on Mays headstone and walked through. As she exited she was met with a dimly lit room with the only real light being from a door that recently opened. She heard voices. She strained to hear what they were saying.
" I need you to swear on the lives of your daughters and the life of your wife that you will not tell a soul." Came the voice of the Chief. Without a helmet?
' oooooo' she thought. But the next voice caught her off guard and stunned her.
" John I swear on the lives of Ruby, Yang, and Summer that I will not tell anyone." Came the unmistakable voice of Tai.
" You realize that if you go back on this, I will be forced to kill them. So I ask again. Do you swear on their lives?"
She did not wait for Tai to answer as she scrambled to find a place to hide. She eventually jumped up into the ceiling tiles and hid in their waiting. She peaked her eyes out to see what was going on. She saw Tai, the women she never got a name, and a tall buff guy that brought some inner desire up.
" Before we get started, Amythest here is actually an AI named Cortana, who up until a few months ago got a synthetic body."
She watched as Tai shook her hand and then she was in for a treat as she watched pretty much a Si-Fi documentary of how this guy was from another planet and was involved in a war that lasted almost thirty years just for the right to exist.
She was surprised that he would play their talk and fight. But her heart skipped when he started to ask questions about if he forgave her and stopped with anticipation.
And when he said he did but that he still has the need to get things out of his system. That she would need to earn the right to see Yang and that if she wants to, she needs to make things right with him. But that also means having Summer their as well.
Her heartstrings were pulled. She has a chance and she was not going to waste it.
She watched and waited as Tai left with John staying behind and addressed her.
" I thought I told you to call before dropping in?"
Knowing she had been had, she dropped down with a sheepish look with tear streaks on her face.
" Kind of hard to call you when I don't have a number to call." She said rubbing her arm.
John took a breath knowing that she is now in his circle of trust, not by choice but still.
" How long have you been up there?" He asked.
" I saw and heard the whole thing." She told him and before he could address her she continued." And if what I heard from the doorway was anything to go by, I should keep my mouth shut if I want to live." She stated the obvious.
" Something like that," John said.
" Can, can I ask you a question?"
He nodded.
" Should I try to get in contact with Tai? I want to see him and tell him everything but I am just a bit scared of doing so. Thought I would never say I was scared of something. Huh." She asked.
John thought about it. " Now? No. Summer is on assignment and he would want her to be there."
Raven had a downcast look. It was obvious that it hurt her. She brought a hand up and wiped away the tears that were welling up waiting to spill.
All she wanted was to do was see her what, ex-husband or husband, and her daughter. She was able to see by accident Tai. She felt a hand placed on her shoulder and looked up to see John holding her shoulder.
" Give it time. This is still new to him. Let him come to terms with everything and then give him a call." John told her.
The hope in her eyes came back. Hope. She had hope. Hope to see Tai and talk to him. Hope to see Yang and to hug her again. All she had to do was wait. She can do that. She can totally do that.
" Well, one of the main reasons I came here is to inform you that my camp is moving. We are going to Vacuao." She told him.
" Why tell me this?"
" I feel like I can trust you to help us if need we need a hand IF we give you a good reason. And no we would not ask for help on raids or against any huntsmen that pop by. Just if we need any extra firepower against the local Grimm or something along those lines." She told him easing any worry he would have had.
" Only if it is a damn good reason." He told her confirming what it is she just said.
" I guess I got nothing else to do here. Congratulations by the way. From the few times I saw the rallys on in a bar, Ghira and Kile were good people. I can only assume their daughter is as well. She needs someone to look after her." She said.
John had a ghost of a smile as he thanked her. Raven slashed a portal into being and walked through.
Tai had come back from John's with all the new information he just got. Aaaand he needed a drink. A strong one at that. Yang was home from school and Qrow was doing what he does with when he was with Ruby. Spoiling the shit out of her.
As he entered, both of his girls came running in and ran into his awaiting arms.
" Ohhhhhh. How I love you two," he said wrapping his arms around his two girls. The images of how John was conscripted coming into his head as hugged them tighter, not wanting to let them go.
" Dad. You are holding use a bit too tight." Yang said struggling to talk a little bit. Tai gave one final squeeze and let them go.
" Daddy's just missed his girls." He told them rubbing their backs. " I got news for you two. John and Amethyst are going to be getting you guys a playmate." Tai said to the two. The two girls looked at him questioningly.
" What do you mean dad?" Yang asked.
" Last night something happened. Do you know what a rally is?" He asked. Both had a confused look.
" Think of it as a gathering for a cause. John was a guest for this rally and some very bad people shot the place up. Those who led the group were killed and left behind a daughter about your age. Well in a couple of days to weeks, she will be adopted by John and Amethyst."
Yang looked a little lost but when it all clicked in her head, her eyes went wide with excitement. She smiled and latched onto her father's neck with Ruby trying to follow what was being talked about.
" OHOHOHOHOHOH! WE SHOULD VISIT HER WHEN SHE IS FINALLY HOME! SHE IS GOING TO NEED FRIENDS WHO BETTER THAN US!" She said happily.
Tai laughed as he rubbed Yang's head. She growled at that but sighed. She turned and ran back into another room with Ruby to play as Qrow walked in.
" Ruby is such a well-behaved girl. You and Summer raised her so well. Oh, and you don't need to worry about Ruby being hyper. So what did John need to talk to you about?" He addressed.
Tai thought about it. " That is classified. Sorry Qrow but if I told you what we talked about, well everyone I have come to love, Yang, Ruby, you...Summer. Would be dead."
Qrow just looked at him trying to prossess that. " Oh"
In a house in the middle of nowhere, a glass was thrown at a wall.
" SON OF A BITCH! Those human scum have killed soo many of our kind! And that fool Ghira trusted them, and what did he get in return? Stabbed in the fucking back." an angry Galen Taurus shouted. A woman with flowing black hair, blue eyes, and a feminine frame was suddenly seen with a broom sweeping up the glass shards into a dustpan.
" Huney. I am sure we can take this evil corporation that this 'Mendez' runs. All we have to do is get more troops on our side with us. Then we can storm the place and kill every human there. I don't see what the problem is? We got the manpower right?" She asked.
Gallen took a breath to calm himself.
" That is the thing, Lilith. Since the Fists Of Unity attacked we can't attack Dawn. They would have higher security and would be ready for anything. So we need a new target." He said holding his head in his hand as he sat down. He felt her sit in his lap before pulling his head into her chest as she ran her hands through his hair. Her bull ears twitched as she heard little footsteps walk into the living room. She looked to see Adam walk in.
" Mom, I heard something break. Is everything OK?" He asked.
She smiled and opened her arm inviting him in for a hug. He took it and hugged his mother and father.
" Oh, no need to worry about it. Some scum beat daddy to the punch on hitting Dawn and freeing the slaves he has. But the people who did it killed everyone. All those innocent faunas. Murdered. All staged by Dawn Enterprises John Mendez for the Fists Of Unity scum bags." She said to her son.
" And the troops were itching for this. Now we don't know what to do." Gallen said out loud.
" A second or two later Adam spoke up. " What about those human's we saw and Sapphires? The one who's plating you memorized and were going to run? The family with a potential slave for me to own?"
Gallen didn't do anything for a second before a spark came back. The family. The one with the two young females and the women can be used for any stress relife that he may have. He wrote the plate down but never did run it yet. He turned to his son and told him that he was a genious. And with that he bid his wife and son a good night and called someone to run the plate.
In a forest in another part of the world, we see a man in light armor with a hood, cloak, and face covering all in a death grey. The only real note able thing about his appearance was his eyes. A vibrant, poison green. He was sitting on a log with the light of a fire being the only thing to give him color. He looked down to his side where he was once wounded. And where a young woman healed him.
She was so pleasant and sweet. But those are the ones that are the weakest. What he did was a mercy kill. If she survived then she would come out stronger.
He looked out into the distance towards a village.
' Lets see who I can comb out in their." He thought.
Summer layed on her bed staring up at the cealing in her hotel room. She sighed missing Tai already and it has only been a couple of days. Luckly she managed to swipe a couple of his shirts that was lightly worn. Meaning, while he wore it and sweated lightly, it could still be considerd clean. Now why does she have a couple of his shirts you may ask. To take a big ol wif when she missed his scent.
She sat up and looked at her scroll. More specifically photos. Ruby, Yang, and Tai. Some just singles of one of the three. Some with a two or all three in it. Hell, she even got some of John and Amethyst with the kids. Mostly Amethyst though. She really did love the kids. Hell Amethyst even took pictures of Summer and the kids. Ahhh, good times.
She sat and scrolled through her photos for a few minutes before sleep came a knocking and she turned in for the night.
Today was the day. Child protection services came and inspected the house to see if it was a safe environment for an adopted child to live. Needless to say, he passed. So now would be the day he would finally be with his daughter. Sienna Kahn would bring Blake to the house at around twelve thirty - one o'clock. And it was nearing twelve thirty.
Cortana was shaking with anticipation, unable to hide her excitement. She was in a white flowing sundress with random blue water like pattern spread around in a randomly. She has been looking forward to this moment since Sienna pointed it out. She spent days and nights getting Blake's room ready. White walls with a royal purple bedset. An oak desk and dressers with some posters that were taken from one of the many telescopes placed around the planet. Posters of a clear night sky with an aurora over the snow-covered forest. Real serine and peaceful.
So to say she was excited would be an understatement. She was so worried that she would make a bad first impression that she biting a knuckle and paced back and forth in the kitchen.
"Ohhh. What if I accidentally make something that she doesn't like? Or got her the wrong shampoo or soap? What if I got her the wrong size of clothes? What if the dresses I got her don't look good on her? HU, What if she doesn't even like dresses?!"
John huffed and grabbed both of her bare shoulders. " Cortana. I am sure she will enjoy everything. Even if she doesn't like something, I am sure she would not hold it against us. So just take a breath and relax."
She did as she was told and took a several deep calming breaths. When her eyes opened, they showed less worry and more hope. But she still had some worry.
" Your right but what would I be to her? I mean I am an AI in a synthetic body, posing as a younger half-sibling to a black-op badass brother who is really hot to boot. " she asked blushing a little bit saying what was going on in her processes. " I mean I am not married to you so I am not mom. Aunt would only be the only thing I can be. And what happens when she gets old enough to discover boys?"
" I don't really see what that has to do with anything," John stated.
Cortana leaned her head back and let out a groan. " Aaaaaahhhhh, I really should have known you would not really understand the meaning behind that."
John was going to ask what she meant when a knock was heard at the door. Cortana's 'nerves' acted up again as she started to shake.
" Ok. We were cleared on the adoption. Now, let us welcome our little bundle of joy home." She said quietly.
John opened the door and there stood Sienna with a nervous, Blake.
" John. I would like to introduce you to Blake Belladonna-Mendez. Your new daughter. Blake these are your new mom and dad." Sienna told Blake.
" Well, I am more her Aunt actually," Cortana said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
John knelt to be eye level with her and simply said, " Blake. I know we can't replace the parents you lost. But I hope you can let us have a chance to be your new dad and aunt." He said in a gentle tone.
Blake, who was clutching a Grimm plushy, nodded and suddenly wrapped her arms around Johns' neck in a hug. There were muffled cries as she buried her face into his shoulder. He stood up holding her close. John rubbed her back through her grey sleeveless shirt as John held her up with an arm under her legs.
" We got a room set up for you if you want to see it. Or if you haven't eaten yet we can make you a lunch." Cortana said hoping to ease the girl into her new home. A growl was heard from Blake's stomach as she raised her head with a sheepish smile.
" Well, I guess that answers that question. John, these are for Blake to review when she is older. It is her inheritance." Sienna said handing John a folder with Blakes name on it.
He nodded as he handed Blake to Cortana to fix something up for her to eat as John took the folder.
" People may not say it outloud but they are geratfull that you made the trip to give Ghira and Kile a proper barrial." Sienna told him.
When she was settled in, Blake found that John and Amethyst were two sides of the same coin. John was quiet and reserved and was just quiet, while Amethyst was full of life. When she asked why John was so reserved she was told that when he was in the military, he experienced a number of things that left its scars.
But that was all in the past. Now she was on her way to school. Her new parents wanted her to get settled in and not be overwhelmed, but also to no abuse it. They gave her two weeks, but she felt confident enough to attend that Monday.
She said that to her new father Thursday and the next day he went to Patch Elementary and got her enrolled. So now she sat in the back of John's car on her way to her first day. And she will openly admit a couple of things. One: She was a little scared and two: THIS CAR IS COOL! She may not be into car's but she can appreciate a good ride.
She took a deep breath as John pulled into a parking spot. He and her new aunt got out and helped her out and to get ready.
" Blake, are you sure you want to wear the bow? I am sure everyone will accept you even if you are a faunas." Amethyst asked.
" I am sure. I want people to see me for who I am and not what I am if that makes sense. And with what happened? I just want to fit in." She said.
"Blake, you should not let the opinions of other people shape you to their views. Just do you. If people can't accept you for you, screw em." John said to her gently hoping to calm her. And while it did, she still wanted to hide her ears at least for the time.
Both gave an OK and walked her in.
" Ok kids, today we got a new student! Please welcome Blake Belladonna-Mendez." Ms. Wool said to the class. But for one particular student's head shot up. ' Did she say Mendez? As in John Mendez?' she thought as a girl with raven black hair with a bow on her head stood next to the teacher. She had a sleeveless grey shirt and a black skirt with a wrap around her upper left arm, and black tennis shoes.
Blake had a nervous look like she didn't want all the attention she was getting. She gave a meek " hello" before Ms. Wool started looking for a spot for her to sit at.
The golden blond haired girl shot her hand up with excitement.
" I have a spot open next to me! She can sit here!" the bubbly girl said with excitement hoping to meet John and Amyhtests new daughter.
"Ahh, Right next to Yang, deer." Ms. Wool said to her.
Yes, the girl we are talking about is Yang Xialong. The oldest daughter of Tai. She was wearing a brown shirt that looked like it was stitched along the sides, an orange scarf around her neck, black pants, and boots with her hair in pigtails.
Blake walked over and took a seat next to her as Yang had a look of excitement to her. She sat down and waited for class to begin.
"Hey, Blake I am Yang! Nice to meetcha!" She said cheerily holding out her hand to shake.
Blake looked at her for a second and then shrugged before shaking her hand. " Blake." She said simply.
" Hey, not to sound rude or anything, but is John your dad's name?" Yang asked.
Blake just looked at her with a raised eyebrow. " Yes?"
Yang's lilac eyes brightened at that. "OHHHH. This is amazing! You and I are neighbors! John has become a family friend of ours. Ohhh Ruby is going to love meeting you. Want to be friends?" She asked.
Blake just had a stumped look as she nodded her head and turned back to the front of the class.
Summer was walking around town taking in the sights and sounds. So far she and the others only had to repel a couple of Grimm attacks. She tried the new guns out and well, they did get the job done. Not as quick as her sniper but they did offer her a new experience. That and she had fun shooting.
As she was walking around town she saw a figure in grey walk in. He didn't do anything but the air around him just felt off. And everyone felt it. He had a rifle and sword on his back with a jagged and desolate looking revolver on his hip. She felt uneasy with him around. It was like he was a bad omen. But what can they do? Kick him out simply because he gave people the creeps. No. If he tries anything then she and the others will be there to stop him.
" Hey Summer." A man's voice called out. She turned and a hulking figure walked up to her. He was a big guy with black hair and green eyes. He was decked out in sports pads that added more to his bulk. The pads included shoulder pads hidden by a green jersey with a big 72 on the front and back. Hip and butt, thigh, and knee pads held inside his pants. Elbow, forearm and hand pads on his arms and a helmet with an eagle on it. His lower legs had green and black socks with an eagle printed in them that went up to his knee with some ankle braces and finally a pair of kleets. " Is it just me or does this guy seem like a bad omen?" He asked.
" No, I feel it too. But what can we do?" She asked.
He took a breath. " Not much. But still. The guy gives me the creeps." He said to her.
" Yea." She agreed before walking off to do what she normaly does.
John and Cortana were in the kitchen making supper while Blake was working on homework. It was a Friday and Cortana dug up an old earth traditional from the United States state of Wisconsin. A Friday night fish fry. Well, Blake was all for it that was for sure. Her ears were flicking wildly with the sent of the fish in the air.
" Hey, Aunty Amethyst. Can you help me with this problem?" She asked.
" Sure sweety," Amethyst said as she cleaned her hands then took a seat next to her.
" This one," Blake said pointing to a row of faces.
" Ok. This is helping you learn how to count." She got up and grabbed some silverware. She sat back down and placed one fork down. " How many forks are on the table?" She asked.
"One"
Three.
" Three."
Nine.
" Ahhhh"
" Ok. let's retry." She said as she gathered up the forks and started to place them back on the table. Blake counted how many were there until she started to struggle.
" Ok, so you have six on the table. Add one more to it and what number do you have?"
Before she can answer, a knock was heard at the door.
John answered and was shocked to see Tai and the girls there.
" Tai? Ahhhhh, can I help you?" He asked.
" Yang said that a new student with your last name started this week. We wanted to meet her and well be good neighbors and friends." He said.
" Uhhhhhhh…."
Yang squeezed past John's leg and pounced onto Blake in a bear hug. Blake let out a surprised " Eeppp!"
" Hi."
" Did she just…"
" Yep."
And the rest of the night was filled with laughter and friendship building as Yang and Blake talked and played with Ruby jumping in. And the adults did what adults do. Talking.
Tai waited until the three were out of earshot and asked a question on his mind.
" Hey, can I get an opinion on something?" he asked.
" Shoot," Cortana said.
" So, before Summer left she left me a, how to put it, an 'adult' care package."
" ooooo." Cortana let out sounding intrigued.
" Well, she made a home movie of her in different outfits and toys to masturbate with and catch on film. She gave me a vague warning that I will hit something that I might be confused about or even mad about."
" What is it?"
ADULT THEMED THINGS! INCOMING! MW2 NUKE SOUND AFFECT.
Flashback
Tai popped Summers DVD in wondering what she had in store this time. The girls were asleep so why not.
" Ok, June so now what?" came her voice. But his attention was peeked because she addressed her sister.
' She must be helping her out with some camera work.' he thought as Summer stood up giving him a view of her white bra and thong, white stockings and a garter belt. What he was not expecting to see in the background was June in a similar get-up.
' Ok so is she trying to keep Summer comfortable. Right?' he thought.
Well, he was wrong. When Summer turned he was met with June pulling Summer in for a deep passionate kiss. His eyes went bugged eyes as he watched his wife and sister-in-law have lesbian sex ending with a climax on a double-ended toy. He was confused, hurt, angry...and while he would not say it out loud, a little turned on if the tent he had was anything to go by.
He looked down and scowled. " What are you doing up and out? Our wife just had sex with her sister." He said to it.
He was going to through the DVD away and lay into June and Summer when she got back. But as he reached for the DVD player, the screen changed to a fully clothed Summer and June in the bedroom.
" Ok. So we got some explaining to do." Summer said.
" Your damn right you do."
" I can assure you, Tai, that Summer is not turning lesbian or bai on you nor is she cheating on you. She did this as an extra for you to watch and get off to. I talked her into it so if you need to yell at, then yell at me." June told him.
" We would rather have you look at your wife and her hot sister in the nude and have sex than to find it on the internet. There is no right or wrong here. I suggested to Summer that we should do some more dirty stuff. Spice it up a bit. After all, soloing is fine and all but when you get a second person, then things get fun. Just sit back and enjoy. No need to make a fuss. If you are still fuming and such well, find a gym and let it out there or chop down a tree." Summer said.
' I am calming down but I am still steaming.' Tai thought.
" Now we spaced 'that' out so you don't get to burnet out. Now enjoy yourself and I will be home before you know it. Love you, sweety." Summer finished blowing a kiss to him.
Flashback end
END OF ADULT CONTENT...FOR NOW
" Oh," Cortana said. She was blushing and was bleeding from the nose.
John was stoic as ever not really getting what was talked about.
" John. I know what you went through and since you said that your drive is suppressed, let me just say that you are too innocent for what happened." Tia told him.
" Oh don't worry Tai. When the right woman comes along, she will give him a private lesson on any of that." Cortana said as John just groaned.
" What am I going to do with you?" He said.
" You love me and you know it."
Unknown to anyone in the small town, trouble was coming. The man in grey was attracting Grimm like no tomorrow. It started out as a few packs of Grimm. But they kept coming and coming. How did he attract them? Well, he had a lot of sorrow, pain, hurt, and hate that he was able to weaponize it. And he was calling them here, bit by bit.
" Damn. this is the fifth attack today. What is causing all of this?" Obsidian asked.
" No. This is the sixth attack and I don't have a clue as to what is causing this!" Summer shouted as she downed yet another Beowulf.
Obsidian bashed the face of an Ursa in with his mace as Summer cut another three down. After that, she whipped the sweat from her brow as she watched the Grimm corpses smoke and fade.
" Ok, sixth wave and it is only what, noon?" She asked.
" Yea. I could use a bite to eat. You up for some bar food later?" Obsidian asked.
" If you are asking me out on a date, then I need to inform you.."
" I know you are married. And no not like that. Just friends getting a bite." He said.
" Well in that case, sure. Why not." She said with a shrug.
As they got done with this pack they made their way back to town when wave seven came in.
"Rrrrrrr. Ok. This is getting old." Summer said as she reloaded Full Bloom and got to work.
In town, the man in grey sat. He focused his pain and sorrow into his hand cannon. His aura was poured into it with all of his negative emotion turning it from bone grey to a ve om purple with thorns and spikes jutting from the gun with a poison looking aether leaking from the cylinder. Now he can use his negativity as a literal weapon.
' Now to test the people here and weed out the week.'
" John! You might want to suit up and get to Summer's location. She is on wave eight of a Grimm incursion and it sounds like she is starting to run out of juice with even more coming." Cortana told John with urgency.
John wasted no time in getting to his suit and donning it.
" What is she dealing with?" He asked mentally thinking of what his load out should be.
" I would bring in something for up close work. She is in a heavily wooded area." She said through the comms just as the last piece of armor was locked into place.
He ran over to his weapons rack and grabbed a shotgun, a magnum, and a sword.
The shotgun was modded ever so slightly with a full choke for range. He grabbed a mix of slug rounds and buckshot. He grabbed an extended magazine for his rifle and made sure that his magnum had high explosive armor piercing rounds. The sword was a standard energy sword with one key difference. One of his employees asked if they could tinker with some of the covenant weapons. They found some new ways to trick the guns out. But for the sword, it was different. The put a fire dust crystal in the hilt and, after some trial and error, got it to work. The result, a blood red blade that burned even hotter than the norm. They also somehow managed to reshape the blade slightly. The edges looked beveled like they made an actual edge.
He strapped them to his armor along with the ammo and sprinted to his bird.
He did a abreviated pre-flight check. As soon as the bird was clear, he gunned it for the altitude and then gunned it to Summer's location.
Summer by this point ran dry on ammo for Full Bloom and was too restricted to use her scythe. She had to resort to her new bowie knife and one of the two side arms. She jumped up on a tree limb as a beak like snot snapped at the area she once stood. The raptor-like Grimm hissed as it snapped its head up to look at her. It jumped up towards her snapping its maw hungrily at her. After it landed, she used her semblance to drop right on top of it slamming the knife into its skull. She then stood up and with a flick, she slung the metaphorical blood off the blade and sheathed it.
" Obsidian, are you getting any of these lesser-known Grimm?" She called out.
She waited for his answer, but it never came.
" Obsidian?" She called again.
" I would not worry about him if I were you." came a deep, gravely and venomous voice.
She spun on her heel, gun raised and was met with the man in grey.
" You? What did you do to Obsidian!?" She demanded.
" Oh, he is still alive. He just went to a new location. But you? You are part of the week that needs to die." He said coldly drawing his now purple revolver and taking aim. She moved right as he opened fire with the first round just nicking her aura. The burn she got right after that, it sent her to into the tree in pain.
" What?!" she mentally screamed.
He was on her in seconds pinning her to the tree and pressing the barrel under her chin.
" Oh, how easy it would be to pull the trigger. But life is full of pain. And so is death. Everything. Is. Pain. And no matter how kind people may be, we all die in agony. And to those that try to help learn the hard way to leave me be. That is why I left that poor bandit girl wounded in woods. But you? You are just a delicate flower that will wither and die." He said holstering his gun and drawing his knife. It was jagged to inflict as much pain as possible. He raised it ready to bring it right into her clavicle when a shot was heard and the blade was shot out of his hand. They both looked to where the shot came from only to see the Master Chief in a kneeling position with his M90 freshly taken from his back.
The man in gray withdrew another blade and quickly struck Summer in her side leaving the blade there. She screamed in pain as the blade went right through her aura.
" I will finish you off later." The man in grey said angerly as he withdrew his cannon.
John had a mixed load in the shotgun which meant he could not fire for fear of the round being buckshot and hitting Summer. He cursed under his breath as the man in grey pointed a purple revolver at him and fired. John dove out of the way while sliding the shotgun back onto his back and drew his M6. He took aim again and fired. The man didn't even flinch as the slugs struck his shoulder.
" Hmm. A knight in green armor. You will be a challenge." he said. " But you will fail on saving this withering rose."
The Chief said nothing as both men had a bit of a stand-off. The Chief with his M6 and the man in grey with his purple revolver.
Summer managed to get behind the tree that the soon to be battlefield was. She held her side where the knife was still lodged in her side. She groaned in pain as she slightly bumped it. Blood was leaking down her side and was soaking her battle skirt.
As she leaned up against the trunk she wounderd where Obsidean was and if she was going to survive. Tai and her girls were going through her mind as the first shots were fired.
The man in grey fired first with the shot hitting his shields. While it did take a small chunk out it, the man was surprised to see that the man in front of him did not fall in pain or agony. Instead of the Chief just unloaded his handguns mag into the man, and to no one's surprise, held strong.
' Damn. strong ass aura." the chief thought as he swapped maggs for his sidearm while the man in grey reloaded his own weapon.
" You are good. You were even able to withstand the burning effect of the ammo I have poured my own hatred and sorrow through my aura into that gun. So now you have my entire attention." the man in grey said as he flicked the cylinder shut. Chief slid his gun back onto his thigh and withdrew his shotgun seeing that Summer was now out of the line of fire.
He pumped it and smiled beneath his helmet and hoped that this would be fun.
He fired and racked another round into the chamber right as the man in grey fired again, but this time he poured more of his aura into the gun. The dart hitting him right in the chest making his shields flare and draining his shields down to half.
The Chief fired, sending a set of buckshot into the man's chest as he sidestepped the next few shots as he ran in close. The man in grey charged in as well swatting away the barrel of the gun as it discharged a slug meant for his face. The Chief responded in kind grabbing the hand cannon and ripping it out of his grasp. Now both parties didn't have a firearm in hand as they went in hand to hand...briefly. Chief grabbed his punch and threw him.
The man in grey stood up chuckling as he grabbed his sword. A deep dark blade with a single jagged cutting edge with a pulsating sphear like organ pulsating in the guard as the Chief withdrew his own blade. With a snap and a hiss of cobras as the blood red blade came to life.
The man in grey chuckled darkly as the duel began.
Obsidian came back to where he left Summer to take care of a pack of raps flanking them. What he was not expecting was to see her slumped against a tree with a knife sticking out of her side. She was bleeding and looked a shade paler. She was breathing rapidly in pain. From the wound or something else, he did not know. He sprinted and started to look her over. She groaned as he approached and put presser on her wound.
" You are going to be OK Summer. You are going to make it." He said. She smiled through gritted teeth and simply said to kick his ass.
" Kick who's ass? And watch your mouth sweet cheeks," he said chuckling.
All she said was grey.
He looked at the two fighting. He recognized the man in grey but the guy in heavy armor surprised him. The armor was green and had a black undersuit with a golden visor. It was him. The Master Chief. Spartan-117. Buggy men to the under would and bringing inspiration to young ones all over.
He watched as he blocked and parried each strike while using his free hand to strike as well. But the show stopper was when the Chief positioned the double-pronged blade to let the cleaver blade of the man in grey to slide in and get locked. And the Chief went in and struck with the force of a truck to the man's ribs, repeatedly.
The man grunted in pain with each strike. The Chief then threw the blade to the side taking the grey mans blade with it and out of his hands. The Chief then kicked him in the chest finally shattering his aura and hitting a tree. The Chief then walked up and stabbed him through the chest. Getting vengeance for May and payback for Summer.
He turned to see Obsidian gaouking at him through the face-mask of his helmat.
John walked over and retrieved his shotty and slid it on to his back as he jogged to where Summer was still holding her side and was crying in pain.
He dropped to a knee and ripped her blouse to get a better look at the wound.
" Summer. I am going to take the blade out and address the wound. I am not going to lie, it's going to hurt." He warned. She turned to him with a tear-stained face. The pain in her eyes saying that it would not be new.
She gulped before she spoke, " Kind of figured sir."
Obsidian came around and took her hand as the Chief took hold of the knife and eased it out of her side. He quickly pressed his hand to her side as he took out his med kit. Summer cried out in pain and squeezed Obsidian's hand so hard one would think she was in labor.
The Chief removed his hand and poured some disinfectant into the wound earning yet another scream. As fast as he could he sprayed some bio-foam into the wound earning a groan and some " cold. Cold. COLD!" From Summer. He then wrapped her with a wrap. Both he and Obsidian helped her up with her leaning on the Chief more so. Taking the initiative he slid his arm behind her legs and held her bridal style.
" Huff. Thanks, Chief. Huff. Thanks, Obsidian." She said.
" We need to get her back to town. The hospital should be more than enough to get her patched up." Obsidian said taking point as the football? Weird choice for a weapon, extended into to two maces. Ohhhhh. Mace's. The ball splits in half and turns into a double set of maces.
On the way, Summer passed out in the Chief's arms.
' Hang in their Summer. We are almost there.' Both Chief to and Obsidian thought. Their, the edge of the woods was in sight. But what greeted them was dead. Lots of dead people. Those who weren't dead were morning or clearing out the dead to make way for emergency responders.
But right now they need to get to the hopital. Then they could worry about the others.
Summer made a full recovery with only a small scar where the man in grey stabbed her. But sadly she could not go out into combat for a while. Like until she is able to go home. Just perfect. She was going to be bored out of her mind.
She did ask the Chief to delover a message for her. Just an 'I am Ok.' to Tai and her girls, to witch he would gladly do.
"Daddy. Can you come out here for a second?" Yang asked.
" Sure," Tai said getting up from his seat at the table. He fallowed Yang lead him out to the treeline where Ruby and Blake were looking at something.
Yang walked up to them and then pointed to something on the ground. When he approached he saw the small remnants of a stakeout. A prone form imprint in the ground and a leftover tripod for a camera or a rifle. This got his full attention. Someone was spying on his family.
" Ok, you three, back in the house. I will call someone and get this looked at." Tai said. They went back into the house as Tai looked at the tripod.
When John came to get Blake, Tai took him out there for him to take a look.
" What do you think"
" I think some one is planning an attack on your home." John said stating the obvious. He looked up into the sky gaging something. " I am going to station a satalite over your house for the next couple of weeks."
Today Summer comes home. The tower was up and transmiting and the first thing she got was a photo. A photo of Tai and the kids. Outside. In a homeless get up. Cardbord couch holding the girls with a blanket and Tai holding a can of hash on a fire roaster over a campfire. Day thirty six without wife was captioned under it. She laughed. Classic husband antics.
Summer came home to a clean house with supper in a slow cooker. She took a peek at it to see what it was.
' Beef stew. Simple but good. But when did he learn to cook? Tai was never one to really make something to taste well.' She thought as she tried it and found it to be good?
" Well I ges he is more than just a muscle bound brute after all."
When Tai got home, he was surprised to see his wife sitting at the kitchen table with a happy smile.
" Summer! Your home!" he said with joy as in just a blink he was from the door to being right in front of her with her in an embrace so tight that she had to tap his shoulder and saying that she needed air.
" I am just so glad you are home." He said.
In the tree line, a man with binoculars watched as the man and women had a touching moment. Well, touching was relative. He was disgusted at the scene. Humans don't deserve happiness. But even he could appreciate a good looking slave. And that women would make a fine one for the Bulls. And while he was not here to see it, he was told they had children. The photo he saw was that of a six and four-year-old girls with the elder having blond hair and the younger being a mini clone of her mother. Both would make great servants for Adam to punish.
After supper, Summer showed Tai her new guns. Saving Grace and Amazing Grace. He was impressed with the look and the way they shot was ok. Ruby and Yang had looks of awe at the side arms. She told them some stories of the mission while she made a double batch of cookies. And not long after it was bedtime for them. She washed them and put them to bed, and went to the master bedroom. When she entered she saw her box of ' stuff ' on the bed with an unimpressed Tai.
" I found this while cleaning the room. I would ask if you would like to explain, but with what is on the screen," he pointed to the TV with Summer in a skimpy nurses outfit. Summer blushed at the screen and quickly peeked her head back out to see if the girls were still in their room.
" Tai!" she whisper-shouted, " The girls could walk in any moment! Are you crazy?"
" really. Not as crazy as you having lesbian sex with your sister." he said matter of factly.
Summer thought the worst was going to happen when Tai just let out a breath.
" Look. I want to be mad at you. I am not. So let's leave it at that. But you do owe me for the scare. If it wasn't for the tidbit you gave me beforehand and after the first round, I might not be as calm as I am now. I will not demand something you are not comfortable with. You just really gave me a scare."
Summer felt kind of bad. " I am sorry for that. I originally did not want to but well, June talked me into it." She said taking his hand and sitting down on the bed. " I already told her it was a one and done kind of thing so you don't need to worry. You are the only one I want." She finished cupping his cheek.
" I know. She said as much when I confronted her on it." Tai responded. " You just gave me a scare."
She leaned in and kissed him before giving a quick hug. "I am going to take a shower." She told him.
" Ok"
!WARNING!WARNING!A NEW LEMON HAS BEEN SPOTTED!BUT THIS TIME IT IS MORE PASSION THAN LUST AND SHOULD NOT TAKE TO LONG...HOPEFULLY!
" And you are going to join me." She finished as she stood up and started to strip as she walked to the bathroom.
Tai's mental gears stopped and rebooted. Taking a moment for the reboot to happen, he got up and started to place candles and the incense out and lit. He then hurriedly caught up to his wife who was now stark naked and in the shower.
He got in and was met with a heated kiss. Summer hung from his neck as his hands found her waist. The kiss lasted until the water started to turn cold. That was when Tai felt it. A rise in her side. He broke the kiss and looked. It was a scar. The same one that John told him about.
" I am so glad you are ok. The Chief said and showed what happened. I'm just glad you are safe." He said embracing her.
" It was pretty nasty but that is in the past. Right now, I just want to be with my family and the man I love." She said shutting the water off and grabbing a towel to dry off. She then stood up on her tip toes and whispered suggestively in his ear.
" And to have his natural cock in me, and fucking me until he shoots his load deep in me as I moan his name in bliss."
She then kissed him again and wrapped her legs around him as she pressed her self up to him.
They continued to make out eventually making it to the bed. Tai backed into the bed, and with the added weight of Summer, fell backward with her straddling him. They remained lip-locked only breaking to breath. Her eyes pleaded with him to love her. He dove back into kiss her. It was full of passion and love as they frenched. Thankfully both brushed their teeth and used mouth wash. So both were fresh. Summer could feel something poking her and smiled.
" Looks like someone is excited to see me." She said with a smile as reached down and grabbed his cock and positioned herself over it. She then slid down with a moan and smiled as she grabbed his hand and brought it to her breast. Tai moaned and lightly squeezed as she ground her hips onto his.
She leaned forward, placing her hands on either side of his head. Tai in response massaged both of her breasts. She moaned and leaned in and kissed Tai again. And soon after she felt him moving back and forth in her making her moan into the kiss.
" Tai. I love you. Please, please touch me. Feel me. I missed your touch and sent." She said.
He did as asked and let his hands roam over her body, sliding over her curves. From her voluptuous bosom to her rounded butt. Squeezing and kneading both. She leaned back and brought Tai with her. She brought his head to her chest.
She ran a hand through his hair and in that still suggestive, husky voice she whispered into his ear, " Taste me. Please. I want you to taste me. Please suck me. Take me into your mouth. Please."
She felt his mouth close around her nipple and leaned her head back with a moan. She held him closer as he switched. She continued to rock her hips and with each movement, she felt him move in her. She felt him throb and knew he was getting close. But now she needed to make a choice. Let him finish in her womb, or to service him and take the load in her mouth. Making her mind up she lifted herself up and off of him. She raised him to sitting position and then slid his cock between her breasts, taking the tip into her mouth sucking him off.
Tai was surprised that she did this because it was not often that she chose to do oral, but moaned as she did her thing.
" Summer. I am…"
He didn't finish as she removed her breasts and took his whole length into her mouth and bobbed her head. She then went all the way down gaging as more of him filled up her mouth. She gave a low moan which sent vibrations down his erection which sent him over the edge and shot his load in her mouth. She gulped down most of it before she opened her mouth to show that she had all of it and was tasting it before she swallowed it.
" You taste so goood, babe. I want another one. Please cream me. Please make me feel loved. Tai Shoot me up with your cum again." She pleaded.
Tai instead put her on the bed and opened her legs, seeing her dripping and awaiting opening waiting for him.
" I want a taste of you as well sweety. You have been gone for a long time. I want a reminder of what you taste like. What you sound like...what you smell like." he said in an equal husky voice. He then dove in and had his dessert from dinner. She tasted exactly as he remembered. The taste and the scent were intoxicating to him.
Summer moaned as Tai worked his magic. She felt a finger insert into her wet folds and sucking on her clit. It didn't take long before she would cum thanks to earlier. So when she did took it all. He missed her taste so much that he took the time and enjoyed each drop of it.
She moaned through it all nearly waking the girls.
Tai then whispered into her ear, " I have waited for so long to taste you again."
He then entered her again and let even more of his passion and love into each stroke. She wrapped her legs around his waist again and again the entered a heated lip lock. Tai broke the kiss and started to suck on her neck leaving a hickey. Summer's breath hitched as she felt her second climax in route. She suddenly felt herself tighten as Tai thrust in deep right as she slammed her lips on his and gave the loudest moan she gave that night right into his mouth as she felt him ejaculate deep into her womb. Both fell on the bed in one another's embrace, breathing heavily with smiles on their faces and a sheen of sweat covering them.
" I love you Tai/Summer." They each said at the same time. Summer smiled and gave a featherweight kiss to Tai's lips and just held him close.
" Oh, how I missed cuddling with you." She said sleepaly.
" I missed you as well as sweety. And the girls did as well." He said kissing her forehead.
She then snuggled up even closer to him. And he said one more thing.
" Also, we need to visit John and Amytest. They will have a surprise for you." He said.
" Ohh. Care to explain?" She asked.
" Wait until tomorrow," he said as both drifted to sleep.
OK. So the lemon is done. But I am going to keep the warning up, just changing it for a bit. But That will come up in a bit.
RECLAIMER THE LEMON IS OVER
Back out in the tree line, the same faunas watched as the couple enterd the shower. Wanting to get more intel, he got closer and right under the window. Right as he was going to leave, he heard the whore talk to the sperm doner, about how much they loved eachother and wanting him to feel her up, wanting him to touch her.
He watched as the two had sex. He felt discusted that these humans would dare to make more offspring.
' So, the whore wants to be felt up and used, we can do that. She can be used like the whore she is as every single man can use her as a stress relife.' he thought as he walked back to the treeline and packed up to report to Gallen.
Tai and Summer sat at the table with the girls. Both grown ups were in comfortable Pjs. With Tia in gym shorts and a T-shirt and Summer in a silky gown. Summer was nursing a cup of coffee with Tai doing the same, but with OJ instead of coffee. The girls were coloringand eating cerearl.
The small family was quiet, but it was comfortable.
" So. Did anything happen while I was gone?" Summer asked.
" Oh, not much mom. I made a new friend!" Yang said to her mother.
" Oh. who is it?" She asked.
But before Yang could answer, she saw a few black vans pull up. And her gut said something was not right.
" Ruby, Yang. Get to the back room, now. And if I tell you to run, run." Summer said in a voice that sounded like she going to be in battle soon.
Instead of questioning her, the girls went to the back but before they did, Yang said that if they can, they will get to the tree line. Summer nodded as she got her scythe.
Tai looked out the window and saw the vans pull up in a blockade set up. He grabbed his gauntlets and readyed for battle.
" Any idea who these perps are?" He asked.
Summer shook her head and readyed herself.
Yang had taken Ruby out the back door and hid in the woods. They saw the vans now, and the air felt heavy like a fight was brewing and she was going to witness her parants fight in battle. She was hyped to see her parents do their job.
She watched as the guys in the vans step out and draw their weapons. Her parents come out of the front door and address these guys.
" What do you want?" She heard her father ask.
" You humans, always think you can boss us around. But no more. Today we elimanate those who oppress us." The leader of the group said as his cronys cheered.
Yang then watched as the fight started. One guy came in and got into melee combat with her dad as her mom unfolded her scythe and started to fight as well. She watched as they fought and fought. She even had to cover Ruby's eyes as she watched her parents desmember limbs at some point. And for Summer and Tai, well, it wasn't long into the fight that they relized they may need to kill to survive. And while neither wanted to, accepted the fact.
But not long after, they started to get overwelmd. And both girls will be mentally scared for the rest of their lives.
Tai blocked a strike for his face and threw a punch into the man's gut. He then deployed a blade to finish him off, only to have other faunas grab his arm, and another one grabbed his other arm. He tried to free himself only for one of the punks to dislocate both of his arms. And to add salt to the wound, someone else kicked his knee in. He screamed in pain as more people came in and started to slug him in the face. When they were done beating him he had two black eyes, a broken nose, blood trickling down his face from multiple cuts.
He was then hoisted to his feet and made to watch something that shatterd his heart.
AND HERE WE GET TO THE PART THAT I NEED TO CLENSE MY SELF OF. BRB.
Summer blocked and spun taking an arm off. She spun on her heel and planted the counter spike into a man's stomach as he tried to sneek up on her. She smiled and ducked under a sword swinng and bisected the creep. She was then tackled to the ground and held there. These men then parted and she saw it. Tai was beaten. His arms were dislocated and a knee was bent the wrong way.
He was then forced to look at her and she saw his heart shatter seeing her pinned. His eyes then widend. What did he see?
" No. NO. NO NO NO NO!" he screamed. Why? Why was he worried? Her question was anserd as she felt a blade slide between her breasts with a ripping sound herd and the breeze now hitting her naked body.
" You said you wanted to be touched. To taste and smell a man. Well, you get your wish, you whore." One of the men said as he undid his zipper. She herd Tai start to cry and pleade with these guys to stop. She then felt this new guy enter her women hood. She gasped and in the moment that her mouth was open, a dick was forced down her throat.
She was being raped and Tai was forced to watch. She felt unclean and unworthy. She felt violated. She felt each cum in her. She tried to fight it all off but was just slapped. She was crying as these men forced themselves on her.
She herd one say to Tai that he was week for not being able to protect her and then herd his scream in pain again as one shoved a knife into his chest.
" You are going to love the place we take you too. You get to taste and smell and feel all the guys, and girl you want." The leader said to her.
" Load her up. And if you haven't had a chance with her yet, do so. Get her back to base. And find those brats." He orderd as his men roughly grabbed her and threw her in a van. Her night gown and white cloak included.
Yang was hoorified. Her mom and dad. Lost. And her mother? Why did these guys pull their privets out and stick them in her privets and mouth? She did not know. All she knew was that she and Ruby were not safe here and booked it as the invaders started to loot the house.
Amethyst was drinking some milk and looking over Blake's homework humming a little tone to herself. She reached for a peice of toast when a rapind knock was heard at the door. She got up casuly only for the knocks to get more frantic.
" AMYTHEST! AMYTHEST HELP US! JOHN! JOHN! JOH…" came the panicked voice of Yang before getting cut off.
" Oh, you two are beauties. I think I might have fun with you. After all, I had to chase you down." Came an unknown voice that sounded like he was going to do something bad.
She ripped the door open to see both Ruby thrown to the ground with a foot holding her down and Yang held in a strangers grip with his hand slowly going down her pants.
She waisted no time in coming in and dislocated his arm and kicked him in the chest yanking Yang out his grasp. She set her down as the guy came back in and tackled her into the house, with a knife planted in her gut. Of course, she did not feel it and she used the momentum to flip him off of her, with the guy smashing into the table.
" JOHN! GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW!" She shouted.
" That hurt you bitch. And I would rather keep you alive for my pleaser." the twerp said. He came charging in and managed to get a hold of the knife and dragged it through her abdomen. She did not scream nor did she grab her guts. She just grabbed him by the throte and threw him to John who caught him and choked him out.
" What is going on?" he asked.
" Ask the girls." She said running back out to see Yang covering Ruby's eyes and looking green herself.
" Yang, what happened?" John asked.
Yang gulped and pointed to Amethyst.
" Yang sweety. What happend. Dont worry about me. This can be fixed. But I need you to tell me what is going on." Cortana said gently.
Yang took a breath and spoke, " Some guys came to your house and started to fight mom and dad. They beat dad and forced him to watch as they stuck their privets into moms privets and mouth. John, I am scared. I don't know what to do." She said shakingly.
John did not say a word and his eyes held nothing but a growing rage as he went back into the house and grabbed his BR and M6.
" Cortana, tie this guy up and call the police. Also Palindina for repairs. Tell the cops that I am going in." He told her. She nodded and he took off.
Raven worked up the courage to talk to Tai. She 'bought' some flowers and a card. She had a smile as she opened a portal and stepped through, only to see John kneeling over a beaten and broken Tai. She gasped catching John's attention as the card and flowers were dropped. She aproched as John checked to see if he was alive.
" Tai. Tai what happend?" he asked.
Tai opened his eyes to see John. He coughed in pain before he spoke.
" My girls. Where. Are. My. Girls?" he asked through the pain as blood trickled down his chin.
" they are safe at my house," he said taking his hand similar to how he grasped Johnsen's hand before he died.
" Summer. They took. Summer. They. Raped. Summer." He rasped.
Raven held her hands infront of her mouth as he gasped again. John looked down as he saw the knife still in Tai's chest. He saw a faint, translusant liquid on the blade. Poison.
" I will find her Tia. I promise you I will save her," he said.
Raven then came up to him. Tai squinted and coughed in surprise.
" Raven? Is that you?" he asked.
She nelt next to him and held him against her chest. "It's me, Tai. It's me. I am so sorry for leaving you. I was so bitter and angery at you for moving on that I did not want to see you." she said choaking up. Tears streaming down her face.
" I knew you would visit at some point." Tai whisperd out with a pained smile.
Raven chuckled as she cupped his face.
" Tai. I understand why you moved on. And I am sorry for leaving you with no notice. I-I-I" She broke into tears as she hugged him.
" Hey, hey hey. Dont beat yourself up. You came back that is the point. You wanted to make things right. And I can't falt you for that." he said.
She broke into tears crying her heart out. John dipped his head. There was no way he was going to make it.
He herd Raven humming something to sooth either herself or him? He didn't know. When he looked back at Tai, he saw no movment. No indication that he was alive. Tai, one of his best friends, the second man he trusted with his past and origans, was dead. He reached over and closed his already shut eyes before doing the same, holding a moment of silance for his friend.
Ok, before we go anyfurther, I need to warn you guys, religion is going to be part of this. Why? I will explain at the end as well as my personal path. But now back to the show.
Tai took a breath as he closed his eyes, a trace of a smile on his face as he herd Raven humming a nameless tune. When he opened them again, he saw a tear stained, still Raven and a motionless John. He thought she was waiting for him say something but was surprised that nothing was moving. He moved his arms to reach up and cup Raven's face, and was surprised to see they moved!
" What?" he asked out loud.
" Taiyang Xialong." he heard a womans voice. He spun and saw a woman in a white gown with a gold cord wrapped around her waist, white eagle wings and black hair with a golden halo over her head and green kind eyes.
" Uhhh. What?" he asked.
She smiled. " I am Terra. An Angle," she said with a smile. Her voice was so sweet. Even holy.
He had a look of confusion as she smiled and laughed. Her laugh was even heavenly.
Smiling she continued to talk to him. " By the look on your face, you are confused. Well, let me explain. I am here to escort you, possibly, to paradise." She said.
" What do you mean possibly?" He asked.
" Well, to put it short, we are in a fanfiction crossover of a video game and an animated web series. And the religion in the series was never really explained so the author is just going to use his," she said getting, even more, confusion out of him.
" ….what?"
" DAMN IT! REALLY? YOU TO?"
" don't worry about it," she said. He just nodded.
" So, I need to ask. Do you think you are perfect?" She asked.
Tai shook his head knowingly. " I know I am not perfect. I just try to do right by the word and use common sense," he said.
" What if I told you there was one person who was perfect. With out sin. And wanted to have a relationship with you. To save you from eternal pain." she said.
"I would say you are pulling my leg. But I will bite. How do I meet him and why would he want to save me if he is so perfect?"
" He loves you. He wants you to with him. Not in a gay way mind you. Now, what would you say if I told, he had to die for you to enter paradise? That he, an inocent man, was betrayed, tourted, and hung on a cross for all of your sins? All to give you the gift of life."
" Again why? Why would someone from earth want to be with me? As I said, I am far from perfect and what could I offer?"
" He knows you are not perfect. But he loves you so much that he gave his one and only son to die. For you. For the person reading this. For your wife or wives since you and her did not really get a divorce. He wants to give you hope. And faith that in the end, all things will fall into place. So. Do you accept his offer of salvation?" She asked.
Tai thought it over. A God gave his only son to bear his wrong doing's and die for him? A man who is so unperfect. Why? Why would he want to? ' It's because he loves you. I am one of his children.' He thought and turned to her. " I accept. Please tell me more." He said.
She smiled. " I will. But first, we got time to kill. Want to watch as you get avanged?" She asked.
Tai was going to say something as he saw hundreds of other angles surrond the area. But these ones looked different. They had armor and weapons. " Uhh. Terra, who are they?" he asked.
" Oh. They are other angles. Death angles. Hey Andrew!" She called to one. He turned and gave a two finger salute.
" Now sit tight buddy. We are going to be in for a fight full of blood and vengance." She said, with a ' Vengance is mine sayith the Lord...but he subcontracts.' under her breath as he was suddenly on Johns shoulder with a set of drums or gutars strumming or banging. This is going to be bloody.
BLOOD AND GUTS INBOUND! DOOM 2016 BFG INBOUND!YAHOOOOOOOOO!
Raven saw John lean closer and place his hands on Tai's eyes. Her heart stopped. He was dead. She could not belive it.
" Tai." She asked shaking him a bit. " Tai!" She called again starting to cry a bit harder. She then threw her head back and screamed, crying out Tai's name, " TAAAIIIIII!"
John held the pain in. But that pain turned into pure rage when the door to their house opend and out stepped some of the faunas suppreamists. The drums of war starting.
The men came foward laughing and chuckling at the sean.
" Well well well, look at what we have here boys. Another pretty looking women and another dumm ass human. I guess our actions pleased the gods enough to have another pretty woman in our arsenal of servants, and another human man that we can put down. Ha ha ha." The leader said.
The group of men aproched the two. But even they could tell that John was no ordinary human. They could feel the dangerous air around him and were not really sure what was going to happen if they messed with them. But one of the cocky ones stepped foward making a show of how tough he is. He walked up to John, smirking all the while. " This will be to easy." the dumb ass said not even drawing his sword on his back. But as soon as he was within face grabbing distance, John struck just as the main rift was struck. And John went on his ruthless killing spree. He grabbed the duffas's face with his left hand as his right snagged the sword on his back, and ripped the guy around before he threw him back at his friends. Neck broken. John went in and stabbed the first guy that he saw. The five man team was now down to three, with John coming around and taking the head off two more. Blood squirting from the headless corpses. The last guy, who just watched his friends die in less than ten seconds was too shocked to do anything but stand there and gape.
John aproched him and simply cold cocked him.
" keep him alive. I will get answers out of him later." John told Raven as she finshed off her group of five.
Raven looked back down at Tai's bodey. She could feel John move to confount his share. She could feel the lust filled looks directed her way. She set his body down and stood. She had sorrow in her eyes that turned to rage.
She locked eyes with the lead man and struck. In the blink of an eye, she had her blade through the man's chest. She spun taking her blade with her cutting his chest open, his heart and lungs spilling out with it, and slammed it into the next guy's neck. Two down three to go. She threw her arm back elbowing the guy in his gut. He went down grabbing his stomach. She brought her blade down right in his skull. She wiped the blade out and took the next guy's head off. She then heard John tell her to leave one guy alive for interrogation. Then walked into the house.
Tai was starteing to turn green from the blood and carnage that John was reaking. He watched as he came into his house to see it in the prossess of being looted.
" And let lose the anciant hounds of war." Terra remarked.
John enterd the house and saw it a wreck. The men in the house did not notice as he enterd. Just kept stuffing bags full of jewels, electronics, and other expensive things.
He walked up to the closest man and in a move so quickly and silently that no one noticed John or the muffled scream as John twisted and wrenched up breaking his neck.
" Hey, Jim. Toss me another bag." One of the theivs called.
He crept up behind the man and plunged a knife in his throat as blood spurted out all over the place. Right as he was going to go to the kitchen, a man from the family room came in and spotted John. He called out in alarm and opened fire.
John moved out of the way of the shot and threw the sword still in his grasp. It sank into his chest. More men came in and started to attack. And John was cut loose. Using his augmented speed and strength, John went in and ripped the first gun out of his hands before he punched through the guy's ribs and ripped the poor fools still beating heart out. He held it in front of the guys face as he died. John got no time to rest as the rest of the thugs started to shoot at him and his meat shield. The rounds hit the dead man as John walked it foward before throwing it at one of the men. They unlucky bastard fell with the body on top of him, as John got into a fist a cuffs with the other. The man went for a left hook, John blocked it and wrapped his arm around his, snapped the arm and with a mighty blow to the neck, well it was haning on by just a thread.
The other guy managed to get the body off of him and stood up and was met with nothing. That would soon come to an end as he felt a hand clamp on to his lower jaw and wrap around his head as in one motion, his faw was pulled downward and his head was twisted.
" Damn. I knew John can be ruthless, but seeing it like this? I almost feel bad for these guys." Tai said to Terra. But Terra was not really looking at him or the surrondings, she instead was looking at John's forehead. He looked and saw a strange mark. It just seemed to be there. Not burned or tatooed on. Just thier.
" What is that?" He asked.
" Lets just say that someone is letting him use his power. A man natorious for his rage and slaughter." She said in awe.
Somewhere in hell.
A hell knight and a Barren of hell called in more demons. They could feel the power of the one inside the crypt on the surface.
" He is still in their right?" an imp asked.
" Do you want to check and see?" The Barren asked.
" Nope. I am too scared to even think that course of action."
" Yea me to. I fear nothing. But him," Points to the doom slayers crypt, " Him I fear. And who ever has his power at the moment. May who ever it is they pray to have mercy." he said.
John was cleaning house as he killed Bulls left and right. When he got to the master bedroom, he saw the thugs rifling through both Tai and Summer's dresser and putting anything that struck their intrest into a bag. Summer's jewlry mostly. He saw them sifting thorugh a box of what looked like skimpy clothes that would be worn by Summer for some weird odd reason as well as different colored tapored cylandars with some being more of a male genital look. He over looked that and jsut went back to killing. He drew his M6 and walked in and smacked the one at the end of the bed in the head hard enough that it just killed him. As the two others turned the first was met a hard fist to the face, caving in his nose and breaking teeth, as well as a fist impression. The other guy grabbed his SMG on the bed and snapped it in John's direction. John grabbed the man he punched and held him in front of him as the bullets hit his new meat shield.
The man fired until his magizine ran dry, John took the moment to and ran in. He voulted over the bed and took the guy to the ground. He then gouged out his eyes, he then stood and curb stomped his face in.
He went from room to room and took each bulls life that he could find. Only missing one.
The one that he missed was in the basement doing what thieves do. He herd guns going off and knew there was a fight happening. Not really finding anything of value, he quietly made his way upstairs and saw gigantor clearing room after room with little effort. And the air aound him was dangerous. He swore he even saw the outline of some powerarmor. Not the kind used by the Spartan, but one that had a bit more bulky but aggresive, if that was possible. He ducked into the master bed room He saw the discared bag of goods as well as slutty clothes and toys they could make their slaves use and or ware. After all for those they sell, they need some skimpy clothing to make them even more appealing. Grabbing all of the items he made his way downstairs to see every room coverd in blood and guts.
Moving fast he got out of the hosue and threw the bad in the van. He garbbed a gas can and started to cover furnature in the flamable liquid as well as other flamible surfaces.
He got out a lighter and threw it on the couch. It lit and the house started to catch fire. And he left.
John was finishing off a small group of thugs in the laundry room. One was even now drowing in his own blood with a clothes pin in his throte. The other had a number of bullet holes in his body. The other somehow got a full jug of laundry soap shoved into his chest.
He went back into the kitchen and saw all the carnage thus far. Limbs were scatterd, blood soaking and pooling on the floor and carpet, knives and swords emebeded in the walls and cealing.
He heard the sound of feet runnig to his position. Not long after two more thugs came in. He wound up and in a move that would leave anyone who survived, witch is only one but he got away leaving his friends to die, as to what the fuck just happend. With a mix of John's strength and the power from a Seraphim, ripped the skull of the guy on his left leaving his brain, eyes and other junk, all without breaking the skin. The guy felt his face up and once he relized he had no skull and to see that John was holding it went wide eyed. John then started to beat the shit out of him with his own skull as he screamed repeatedly till his death " THIS DOES NOT SEEM PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!"
" I KNOW RIGHT!" His friend said
John killed the guy infront of him before grabbing the other by the throte and crushed his wind pipe leaving him to suffacate.
That is when John smelt, felt and saw the blaze. He then heard the screeching of tires and saw the one he did not get speed out of there. The fire was spreading rapidly as he made his way to the door until heard a soft whine. He saw Zwi getting to his feet and shake his head, but looked off. Then he saw the blood. Zwi was shot in the stomach. IF he got him to an animal hospital he would survive. He picked the small dog up he made his way to the door again but stopped. He looked to the hearth and saw a photo behind the flames. A photo he saw multiple times. One of a united Team STRQ. as well as a family photo of Summer, Tai, and in their arms Ruby and Yang.
He snagged both photos and smashed through the door to see the athoritys outside placing Tai in a bodybag. The drew their guns and took aim.
" John Mendez?" the sargent asked.
John nodded and the cop sighed and told his men to stand down.
" Sir, your sister told us what has happend. Can you elabrate as to what happend here and at your house?"
" Sure. Can you get this dog to the hospital? I think Yang and Ruby would be happy to have him alive." John asked.
They nodded and John told them what happend. How he was checking in on Blake since she has a cold and herd Amethyst call out to him, how he caught the intruder and the explanation as to why they showed up, the run over to the house and saw Tai outside dieing, and elimanated the threts.
" I should arrest you for taking lives. Should being the key word. But you did do a service. You killed a number of Avenging Bulls. Less crazy on the street. And they were the agresors. But I am sure your sister and daughter are worried, and I am sure Summer and Tai's daughters are going to want to know what happened...and need a place to stay and greave."
John nodded and was about to walk off when the officer offerd him a ride home.
Tai watched John kill each and every supremacist in his house. And damn did he kill them in a convincing fashion. He felt his privacy get violated as he saw them go through his and Summer's personal possessions. He hated the fact that some people would do something like this. But one thing he wanted to know and turned to Terra.
" Hey Terra, were and what was that music that was played during this whole thing?"
" Doom 2016 BFG Division. Good score by the way. Go check it out." She said.
He gave an oh and asked why it was there to which she just said that it would make the part even more epic.
She then turned to him and pointed to the guy that John yanked the skull from, and commented on how badass that was and made a note to talk to Tex and to see if she taught him that or if it just comes naturally.
" Ok Tai. It's time to meet the makers of well, everything. First is the creator of your world, then the one whom the author follows. So, take my hand and we will be on our way." She said.
He took her hand and was then taken to the pearly gates of heaven.
" Taiyang Xialong. Terra has said you want to learn more as to what salvation is and why I am offering it to you even if your realm never heard of me or my son. So, Let us see what you can do shall we?" Came a powerful voice. And Tai felt the need to kneel.
" NO KNEELING!. I am going to talk to you and we are going to have a nice conversation."
When John got home, he was met with Cortana, Ruby, Yang, and Blake all wanting to know what happened.
" John are you OK? And who should we send the flowers to for the other guy." Cortana asked quickly covering their eyes as John was covered in blood.
" I need to clean up, then.." He nodded to Ruby and Yang. The silent message received.
" Are they?"
" Not here. I want to be able to tell them without them feeling sick."
He went inside and saw the chair Cortana tied the woiuld be child predator was tied up in. He turned and asked the same captin what became of him. All he was told was that he was in custady. Satisfed he went to the restroom and cleaned up.
Yang sat in the living room with Amethyst hiding her wound with Ruby napping and Blake only coming in to see what was happening. She put on a cartoon of sorts. A talking rabbit and a talking duck in some of the outlandish adventures ever seen. Or getting in disputes as to what hunting season it was. It did do its intended purpose. Distracted her from what happened.
John went and took a shower to wash all the blood off and still had not come back yet. She hoped her mom and dad were OK. She needed them to be Ok, to tell her everything would be OK. She heard heavy footfalls and saw John walk in.
She got up and ran to John with pleading eyes and asked what happened and if her mom and dad were ok. John took a breath and knelt.
" Yang. Your Mom, she was taken to be a slave. And your father, they killed him. They also set fire to your house." John told her. Her eyes glazed over with tears. This could not be happening. First her real mom, now her new mom and her dad? And on top of all that, they burned her house down. It was all too much for her. She dropped to her knees and cried. John and Amethyst embraced her letting her grieve. She hoped to wake up from this nightmare. She needed to. John held her as she cried.
Amethyst scooped her up and took her to one of the other spare bedrooms and stayed with her till she fell asleep. Ruby had woken up as John began to explain and just had a look of confusion.
" Mommy was kidnapped by bad guys and Daddy was killed by the same bad guys as well. They also burned your home down. You are going to be staying with us for a while." She said to the little girl. Ruby's eyes still held confusion but some understanding and she too started crying and she to cried herself to sleep. John took Ruby up to the same room Yang was sleeping in and tucked her in.
John went back downstairs and sat next to Cortana. He lifted her shirt up and got a look at her wound. She knew he would check up on her and address the wound. But with Cortana being Cortana, she had to tease him a bit.
" Jeez John, if you wanted to look at my boobs or make love to me all you had to do was ask, no need to be a peeping Tom, and you didn't even ask for consent. How dare you." She playfully scolded. John said nothing and examined the wound. He could see her metal skeleton under her synthetic skin.
" Did you call Palindina?" He asked.
" Yes. I will be leaving soon to go see him and get this fixed.." She said holding her shirt up so John can probe and gage her wound a bit more.
" Ok. Do you need anything? Stitches or anything to seal it up until you are ready to head out?" He asked.
She pulled her shirt down as she spoke, " No. Unlike you biologicals, I don't really feel pain. My systems are telling me of damage but that is about it."
John nodded and went to grab a couple of things. Mainly some ONI tech for interrogation and pulled out his scroll. He called Raven and told her to open a portal. Two seconds later a portal was seen and he walked through.
They were in her tent with the prisoner in a separate tent.
" How are you going to get information out of him? Both I and some of my men tried and all he did was laugh." She asked.
" I have my ways. You forget. I am a SPARTAN. Trained in all sorts of intel gathering. I know what kills. I know what maims. And I know what just fucking hurts. And I got this." He said taking out a couple of viles. " ONIs version of truth serum."
She gave an ' Oh ' as they enterd the tent and John got to work.
In a warehouse on the other side of Vale, we hear the sound of training as a man and his son are seen sparring. Gallen and Adam stood in the middle of the arena in a blade lock. Galen tripped Adam and held the point at his throat before offering him a hand up.
" You are improving. Keep it up, son." Gallen praised as the sound engines came in. Four vans parked as men came out to find him and report.
Gallen, along with Adam, walked up to them.
" How did it go?" Gallen asked.
" We succeeded, but we lost a number of our brothers. Some fucking human got the drop on us somehow and ruthlessly slaughtered us." the first spoke up.
Gallen growled at that.
" But we did get a van load of valuables as well as a prisoner. Sadly the brats escaped and Flak never returned."
More bad news. But also some good.
" Show me the prisoner." He said.
They smiled as they went to the closest van and opened the doors to reveal a bound, gagged and nude Summer Rose.
" You see this Adam? This is where human females belong. Chained up and under our heel." He said.
Adam walked up to her and sneered. " What are we going to do with her?" he asked.
One of the Bulls spoke out loud an opinion.
" I say we keep her. Let her be our stress reliever and we can possibly get money if we chose to let others use her as well," he said.
Gallen nodded and smiled.
" That sound great. Get her prepped and broken. I will get lilyath and we will get her to break faster. You said she had a husband right?" He was giving a photo of the family together. He saw the blond man and focosed. A moment later, thanks to his semblance, he looked like Tai. " Now we can break her faster if need be" He said smiling.
John got the intel he needed. His name. Whom he works for. What they were doing, and the motivation. Now one may ask, why did he tell Raven that he knew how to torture someone if he had the ONI truth serum? Well, that is because he still had some unreleased anger, and to show the dumbass that one should not, under any circumstance, piss John off.
When he was done, the Bull thug would have a hard time walking and writing, and John was once again covered in blood. One could see this as cruel and unnecessary. And in most cases, you would be right, but this was a terrorist with a rap sheet as thick dictionary.
And add in the fact that he killed and kidnapped some of his first friends on this world. So to say he was pissed and even in morning, would be an understatement.
" John!" Raven called out.
He turned to her and saw her without her mask and a weathered book in her hands.
" Can-can I join you? I want to see Yang. Make sure she is safe and OK? If for no other reason than to ease my worries and fears." She asked with a pleading look in her eyes.
John took a breath and nodded. She smiled and surprised even herself, she sprung up and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
John just stood there processing what just happened as she slashed a portal into existence and walked through with John a step behind her. They appeared in his little briefing room thanks to Raven's seal. John noticed that the door to the hanger was open with the Pelican gone.
' Cortana is on her way to Pallindinas' he thought. John walked her out of the bunker and into the basement to the steps that led to the main part of the house. She saw the decorations that her daughter and Ruby made for him as well as what Cortana had found.
" She is staying in the room on the left, three doors down," he told her as he made his way to the bathroom.
She went upstairs and walked down two doors until she got to the one she wanted. She quietly opened the door and saw her daughter with tears staining her face. Her whimpers could be heard even though she was asleep. Raven picked her up and took her to a rocking chair that was in the corner. She shifted not feeling a mattress under her. Raven sat down with Yang in her arms and just rocked her.
' Is this what it would have felt like if I stayed with her as she grew up?' Raven thought as she felt a strange motherly feeling corse through her.
She smiled as she held Yang closer to her. She ran her hand through Yang's hair as she sang a soft lullaby. Yang snuggled further into her chest as her whimpering lessoned as soft snoring was herd.
Raven gave Yang a soft hug before she placed her back in her bed. She tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead as she walked over to Ruby. She knelt beside her bed and made a silent vow. A vow to help find Summer and avenge her father. As she passed Yang, she herd Yang talk to her.
" Mom, can you sing to me again?" Yang asked not really awake. Kind of when you are in you wake up really early in the morning to take a leak. You are awake enough to move and do your task but is back asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. That is the state Yang was in.
Raven knew that she thought Summer was their. But she obliged her daughter and knelt by her side and took her hand in hers and sung another lullaby.
As she finished she saw John out of the corner of her eye leaning on the door.
She placed the weathered book under her daughter's hand and got up. John walked her outside as she cried. Not tears of sadness… well, some were, but mostly relief and joy.
" John, thank you. I can't express the joy that is in my heart to see my daughter again." She said hugging him again. John just stood there before he hugged her back. She had a smile on her face as she pulled back.
" Any women would be blessed to have you. I know you captured a part of my heart. Not in a romantic way, but as an even closer friend. I will not let you down." She said gratefully. She reached up and planted another kiss on his cheek, and then slashed a portal into being and left.
Ok. So before you guys get pissy and start spouting nonsence that I brought religion in this, I just want to say that religion in RWBY as a whole was never really explainned. Just that the two brothers were seen as gods and pretty much wiped out most if not all of remnant, before leaving only to return to judge the world if Ozma can get the whole world to live in peace and join the relics. So after centrys later the tale of the two faded into legend and fairytales.
" But Red October, you are a bigit for being Christian!"
I can already hear people are going to say that. Now I like to think that I am thick skined, and for the most part I am, but if that is all you are going to say, then you are on your way for me blowing a gasket. I am sorry but if anyone is the biget it would be you..if you are in that boat.
Some of you however may just roll your eyes and just see it as it is. Just a bit of forth wall breaking and using somthing more familiar as to explain Tai's fate. And to you guys who think that… yea pretty much.
Now why go on this tanget? Simple. I have been looking for the right way to bring this up and this is it. Yes, I am Christian, but that does not mean I am going to beat people over the head with a Bible or cram it down your throte. I dont want people to think that eveything is going to biblical. No just fun writing with hints of my belifes in the background.
Which brings me to the whole meeting with Tai and God. Somewhere out thier, maybe right next door or on the other side of the world, someone is not feeling good. They could be depressed, hurting, lost or confused. If thier is one thing I want some people to take away from that section is hope. Hope for tomorrow and that things can and will get better. Maybe not right away but it will. Hell that person may be you. And if so you have my prayers. As to my evid
ance for a God, aside from everything that you see smell and hear, I got a story for you that has personly happend to me.
A year or so back, I was going thorugh a rough patch in life. A breakup ontop of my folks splitting up, I was looking for somthing, anything to take the pain away or at least for a while. Site after site I visited. And shortly after setting up a profile, I took it down. Well to put a long story short, I got a message from some chick to make a payment and she would set up a hotel room for us. As I readyed up I knew it was wrong and prayed for an out, and got one and took it. A little to much infoe? Maybe. But that is one example.
Now why is that so bad? People have sex all the time especially pre-marital.
Well, I have commited my self back in youth group that I would not do such a thing until i was married.
So that brings me to my last part of this before I hit my second thing that people would have a frowny face on.
So as stated I will abstain till marrige. I am sure you wont care about that, but the one thing I want to say is that my life choice is going to play a small roll for the chartes. Why though? Well I find it rarer and rarer that both men and women save themselvs until they are married. So often are both sexes throwing away thier first on their boy/girlfriend at the time becuase hormones.
So I would like to give you somthing to chew on.
Boy's I am sure when you go to take a girl out for the first time you have to meet her dad right? You know, he is sitting thier at the table cleaning a shotgun all the while giving you the ' stare', and before you go he tells you that that girl is his pride and joy, and that he has no problem going back to prison? Well I want you to put yourself in his shoes. Imagin yourself as a father and some punk wants to take you daughter out.
You getting that image and thought prossess made? Good. Now simply do to the lady that you would want that punk to do to your daughter. If you would not let that punk put his thing in her thing, dont put your thing in her thing. Is that making sence?
Also, in my mind it is safer.
Girls, I am not sure if you have your son bring a girl home to meet her and give her the same treatment or not so I cant really say much. But hopefully you have your own way of intemadation.
Ok that is enough of that unless you want me to keep going.
So the second bop-it, Summer getting kidnapped and the R word.
Yea I am not and still not comfortable with that. But I wanted give the Bulls more evidance that they are suppremasts and are jsut the worst. Plus more baggage for Summer when I decide to free her. She is going to have hurdles to over come and in some spots need to learn how to trust people again. Of which John will get to earn that trust, and even win her heart. Yup I am parring John and Summer.
Ok that was a lot in one go.
So what can I talk about in this chapter. Ok some other questionable contet, the lesbian and incest hint. As pointed out Christian here, so not really a fan. Buuut if done corectly and in this kind of set up, I could get behind it. Does that make sence?
Summer got some new guns those being two M6C pistals. Those seen in Halo 2. I know that they are not the greatest but I have always liked the look of them. And she got a knife that a helljumper would use. I rember reading or hearing that ODSTs have charters or a flaming commet tatooed that means complete badass. I belive I read it in Cole Protacal. I would look it up but sadly I dont have the book. Tai got all of John's story, Summer on her mission, the WF rally and shoot up, Blake getting adopted, the home invasion at Summer and Tai's house, and who could forget John playing with Ruby and Yang. And who could forget the RvB and DOOM reffrances.
Now who amung you conected the man in grey to Dredgen Yor from Destiny? Because that is who I based him off of for Summer to take down and as the one that killed May. His Hand cannon is thorn with the Rose of coruption skin from Rise of Iron, his sword wasbased off of the Hive Knight Cleaver and while his rifle was never used or described, it would have been necrocasim. Again all destiny shit.
And loony tunes is obvious. Daffy Duck and Buggs Bunny.
Now thier have been a few OCs in this book. Most of them are mine but once so far is from my beta, SPARTAN-626. So here is every OC that has been seen as well as some fun facts about them if they apply.
So first and formost,
Thorin Staruk.
While not seen as much as of yet, he is part of Johns security teams and will later on be part of the Dawn crew. He is a viking type of Huntsmen so that is cool and this is from Spartan-626. So thanks for lonaing him to me man! I will try to get teh other one in at some point. Just have pationce.
Next is mine, Canis Slate. A wolf faunas in assassins creed brother hood get up with the taunfas.
He, Obsidian, and Megenta are all on the same team of OCs. C.R.O.M. The R I will need to find another way to bring in at some point but for now that is it for them, But Obsidian is a bit personal to me. Why? Well I moddled him off of myself basicly. I played football in highschool as a linemen and loved each second of it. Plus I wanted a football player as a RWBY OC. But that is the fun stuff for now so to the reviews!
Drago - X6627

Thank you man, and one step ahead of you.

Sup, good story mate. I recommend you getting grammarly (I hope I typed it right...) it'll help you out correcting orthograph errors such as yourpryer( I suppose you meant prior) and tails( and I guess for this one you meant tales)...
Anyway keep on going
I am using it now so tell me if it is working for you...or if I need to burn down another jackle sniper and his family.
SPARTAN-626
Excellent work here man, you already know what I said before when I beta read this but still love what's going on here and nice work with redeeming Raven here a bit and hope to see more of that proses later on. As well looking forward to seeing Sienna Khan and what you will do her. I get what you mean with Ironwood and what you plan with him and I look forward to it. Keep up the great work and hope to see more soon.
Thank you again and again thank you for looking it over and giving me feed back.
Who dosent like a good redempion story. We know so little about Raven and why she left. Hell this whole time frame is ripe for fics like this. And I am glad you get what I mean with Ironwood.
And again thanks for letting me use your OCs. I will get Aurthor in at some point down the line. So again thank you
Ok so now it is about that time. But first, Halo Reach is coming to the MCC? And the MCC is coming to PC? ...I may not play PC but even I am hyped for it! So many new people can now play and become nerds with us and to those who have PC CE, and Halo 2( They did get a halo 2 for pc right?) but not any of the others are going to be sooooo happy. So my happyness goes for you guys. Now if you havent read my other story A Noble Rose, go check it out. Or don't. I am not the boss of you nor am I going to send a Jackle sniper to you.
*SQUAK SQUAK*
I SAID SHUT UP YOU FOOL! GO FIND ANOTHER PLAYER TO HARAS!
