OK so as much as I would just like to get in to the rescue, I need to tie up a couple of loose ends. Ravens semblance and Cortana chipping herself. Those two will be explained almost right off the bat. I shall explain more at the bottom note.

I also put in some, let's just say vehicle cameos. I will tell you guys at the end obviously.

So what else should I say here? I really can't say much more aside from a couple of things.

And before we go any further, I got something to announce… REACH IS COMING TO THE MCC AND THE MCC IS COMING TO PC ON DECEMBER 3RD! WHO IS FUCKING READY TO DEFEND REACH AGAIN? I KNOW I SURE AS FUCK AM! THE THIRD CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH! My one complaint is that there was not as many xbox flights as there was PC. And that is something really small

Get you pitch forks out and light up the torches. We are going on a hunt for some bulls.

Also a trigger warning, towards the end of the chapter there will be a little bit of self harm and attempt at suiscide. You have been warned. Don't worry the charter is fine and all will be made clear.

Now, where is my damn meat cleaver….

Raven walked into Johns small armory, Cole on her heels.

" Ma'am, with all due respect. The Master Chief is out of his armor and as such is probably a pussy. Let's just kill him and take his stuff. I don't see the problem." he was saying.

She was really starting to get pissed with his words and actions. During the briefing he kept giving everyone a glare or being disrespectful to their host or to her husbands and partners parents like they were just another person to kill or to rob from.

" Cole. I am telling you right now. Shut your trap and be on you best behavior. I will not say it again." She growled.

" Raven. What has gotten into you? Where is the women that would cut her own friends down if it meant we survived? Where is the woman that is cold and blood thirsty? Why do you even care if this woman lives or dies? If she was foolish enough to get captured, then let the slut rot in whatever hell whole she found herself in." he said not even knowing that this slut was a woman Raven considered a sister. Not just any sister, her little sister. A little sister that she would kill to protect.

She was going to tell Cole to shut it before he found himself in an unfortunate accident, when Qrow came in.

" Would you look at that. The traitor. I shall take you head and present it to your sister as a present." Cole said drawing his blade.

" COLE!" Raven shouted getting his attention. " Leave."

" But Raven, it's the traitor! Shouldn't we be killing him?"

" Leave. Now. I will talk to him myself." She told him.

" Ohh. Ok. So you are going to kill him. Way to make it personal. This is going to be fun to watch." He said not really know the grave he was digging.

" GOD DAMN IT COLE LEAVE RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP HE I WILL SHOVE MY BLADE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU WILL HAVE A VAGINA INSTEAD OF A DICK!" She shouted at him.

He palled and left.

" Well, he was something." Qrow said taking out his flask and handing it to her. She took it and with a long sip taken, handed it back.

They stood there in silence admiring the weapons John had at his disposal.

" So, how long have you known John and how long have you known about him being the Chief?" Qrow asked.

" Since the same time Tai found out." She said.

Qrow had a quizzical look. " He got you and Tai in the same room? And that did not answer my question. How long?" He asked again.

Raven had a look of thought before blowing out a breath. " Shortly before he was killed." She said. " And we didn't see one another. I hid in the ceiling. Kind of hard to let someone know I was dropping buy when you don't have a number to call."
Qrow thought about it. Tai did have him watch Ruby so he can have a chat with John. He even took half a day off from teaching.

" So that is what he did that day. Interesting." He uttered.

There was another awkward silence fell on them, neither knowing what to talk about. Qrow was the one to break the silence as he blew out a breath.

" Why are you here Raven? I know you don't really care about any of this or about Summer. So cut the act and just spit it out." He said, his words stinging her.

" Qrow. Did you know that I was going to leave the tribe? Do you know how close I came to leaving it all behind and be a wife and mother I was supposed to be?" She asked.

Qrow shut his mouth and let his sister talk as he shook his head.

" I came within a tree branch away. All I had to do was fly to the door, shift back and knock." She revealed as she leaned up against the wall. " I looked through the window into the kitchen to see Tai making dinner with Yang sitting at the table. They looked so happy, But then I saw Summer walk in and not only hug Yang and Tai, which is nothing new for her to do. She is a loving person after all, but when she and Tai kissed and caressed her belly did I realize he moved on and was with her now and that she was now pregnant with his child, it broke me." She told him as tears came to her eyes remembering both the moment it happened, and that her friend is still missing.

" You left him Raven. What was he supposed to do?" Qrow asked a little harshly.

" I KNOW OK?" She snapped with a tear rolling down her cheek.

Qrow stood shocked at the sight. Raven hardly ever showed emotion that would be labeled as a weakness. Yet here she was with a cracked voice and a tear rolling down her cheek.

" I left him to raise Yang by himself with no help from me. I thought that I was cutting out a weakness by leaving a man that loved me to his core and a daughter that was just an infant. In actuality, I was running from my responsibilities. And I justified by saying that I cut out a source of weakness." She took a shuddering breath before she continued, " but I was just too damn arrogant, broken and jealous of what she did to see it. I was a coward. He moved on from me, the women that left him with a needy infant that probably just wanted her mama. He moved onto a women that truly loved him before he even loved her. Took a child in that wasn't even hers and raised her. She truly is the wife and mother Tai deserved. She has the strength that I lack." Raven said with tears now freely flowing down her face.
Qrow strode to her and held her. She let silent tears fall and get soaked up into his shirt. He rubbed soothing circles on her back as she let the tears she had been holding back for years.

When she was done she thanked him.

" Raven. Have you tried portaling to Summer?" Qrow asked suddenly thinking about Ravens semblance.

Raven nodded. " I have. And while I severed most of the connection I had to her, I could not sever it completely. I just couldn't. I could not abandon my little sister." She said, not fully answering his question. Her semblance allowed her to portal right to a person she has a connection with or a seal she placed. The catch is that the stronger the bond, the more things she can do. Underground or on the other side of the world? If she has a strong bond to you then she will portal to you. If that bond was weak or she severed most of it, that is when problems began. Shorter range, had to be on the surface...hell the stars had to be aligned and at least twenty goats had to be sacrificed to RNG Jesus if she wanted to get to you.

" I have tried to portal to her, I have really. But whatever is blocking me is on her end. John asked me to try it even. And still nothing. I asked Cortana why she didn't go into her chip and get inserted into the net. She said that it would only speed up her rampancy. And since she is closing in on nine years, well you get the idea. If she goes inside the CCT, there goes the world and the only thing we will ever see is cat videos." Raven said with a little mirth.

Qrow chuckled. " She seems like the kind of AI to just run cute videos on all day everyday."

They both shared a chuckle at that.

The door opened to reveal Tai's parents. Both gave Raven a glare as they walked up to John's rack of gunns. The tension in the air was so thick one could cut it with a knife. Maria picked up a BR55 as well as its magazine. She slapped it into the receiver then shouldered it, getting a feel for the rifle, her eyes never leaving Raven.

Mal grabbed a M6C Magnum and slid a mag in. He racked the slide back with a metallic *snap* as a round entered the chamber. He examined the gun before smirking in, clearly impressed.

The slung the guns either on their back or him respectively before Maria walked past Raven. She stopped before she turned and slapped Raven across the face. The slap echoed in the room as Raven held and rubbed her cheek. Qrow just stood there not knowing what to do.

" I deserved that." Raven said still holding her cheek.

" YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS YOU DO!" Maria yelled at her as she stormed out.

Mal just looked at her, but before he could leave, she caught his hand and asked him to wait. He did but with a clear annoyance and attitude to boot.

" Damn she slapps hard. Look I know I am not in your good graces, and I deserve every bit of it. But I do want you to know that I did love your son. I just lost my way and could not get past my arrogance and for that I apologize. I left my husband, your son, and my daughter for an ideal that hurts people more than they help. I don't deserve forgiveness, but I would at least like to earn something back." She said to him.

Mal looked at her, into her eyes to see if she was being serious.

" I herd part of your conversation with your brother. Is it true?" his burly voice asked.

She looked at him not knowing what he was asking her about.

" Where you really there when my son died?"
Raven looked down as a tear came to the corner of her eye, " I was. I held him close to me and comforted him as he went."

Mal looked at her a bit harder to see if she was lying. Before he could say anything, the door swung open and Cole stood there with his gun in his hands and aimed right at Mals head.

" So you and that whore made a move on my leader. I hope you enjoy your time in hell fuck face!" Cole growled as he prepared to fire.

Mal sidestepped the shot and landed a mean right hook to Cole's face. Cole staggered back and readyed the handle of his revolver. Cole swung downward hoping to hit Mal in a soft spot, but was thrown to the side as Raven pointed her sword at his throat.

" Cole. If Maira is hurt in any way, not only are you going to have Mal on your ass, but me as well." She growled.
Cole looked at the blade then at her. " But Raven, they struck you. I was only defending your honor! I have to kill them! They deserve it!" He was saying.

Raven jammed her foot on his chest with her blade meare microns from his throat.

" If I wanted you to defend me, I would have kept you by my side. I wronged someone and am now trying to make things right. I lost a husband and quite possibly a daughter as well as one of my best friends, no, my little sister. I deserved to be slapped, possibly a couple more times to make up for what I have done. I have a lot to make up for. So you are not going to get in the way of what I deserve."

Cole looked stumped. The women that had led him through so many raids and slaughtered men and women who were begging for their lives, cut down her own tribesmen if they got to lippy or otherwise not useful, was telling him that she had loved and deserve to be slapped around? What happened to her. Wait she had a husband, a daughter, and a woman that she considered a sister? She let herself have a weakness? She cared for people? What happened to her. John. It had to be John. He got to her somehow.

" I don't know what got into you Raven, but you are not the leader that I know. John somehow got you and made you soft. And I shall rectify that." he said as he pointed his weapon at her. With no thought she slid her blade forward into his throat, killing him.

" I am going to need to clean the mess. Remind me to apologize to John at the first moment possible." She said to both Mal and Qrow. Maria came bursting in a second later to see the bandit dead with Ravens sword in his throat.

"What happened here?" She asked the three people.

" Raven took care of a problem. This guy was trying to show his superiority and spouting nonsense as well as wanting to kill us." Mal said.

Maria looked at Raven for a minute, sending a chill down her spine.

" Don't think for a second that this makes up for what you did, but I thank you. He has been making subtle threats towards me."

"Well you don't need to worry about him anymore." Raven said to her. She paused before she stood in front of Maria, who looked like she was ready for round two.

" Maria, I am sorry for my actions. I am so sorry for your loss. I know my actions speak differently then to my words, but I did truly love Tai. And like I told your husband, I was there when he passed. I was their when to avenge him. I was just too arrogant to see that I had everything before I threw it away." Raven said to her.

" You are right. You threw away a life with our son. You were unable to protect him when he needed you. But I can give you credit for the vengeance you and John rout. So let's just call it even. You are still on my shit list though, you just moved down a bit."
Raven smiled as she turned to pick a weapon to use.

Gallen was sitting in an office that he claimed as his own. He had made calls to the remaining five hide-outs to to fall back to this position. He needed more men to fortify this position. That would make it well over one-hundred. No, he was going to have a small army at his disposal. A bit overkill, but if the Spartan and John are joining forces, he wanted to overwhelm them with firepower. He got a number of high powered weapons from Vale's armory. Automatic weapons, carbines, explosives of all vritaty, high powered sniper rifles that can punch through tank armor, rocket launchers, LMGS and HMGs, hell they even got some land mines. The group got vehicles as well. From armed bullheads to tanks, they were ready to take on an army. Lets see the Spartan or John try to take them.

He looked out into the main part of the base to see all the slaves the others brought getting stuffed into cages. When all was said and done, explosives would be set around them. If They fail, then their victory will be in vain. For not a single slave will be alive for them to take back.

Yang was sitting and watching TV at her Aunt June's apartment, questions running a mile menite in her head.

' Dad was the Spartan? When did that happen? How did that happen? What else is he keeping from us? What is he going to do now? Has he really been trying to look for Mom? Is that why he often leaves unexpectedly and gets home late at times?' These were the thoughts going through the young girls mind. Blake and Ruby had just as shocked looks when he walked out of the alcove in his gear. And June? She was still in shock from whatever those bad men did to her. Even now she jumps when she hears a neighbor close their door.

She took a breath wondering what to do. She couldn't get him out of her head. Her dad standing there, helmet resting on his hip, looking as heroic as some of the pictures make him out to be. The armor shined and the look on his face, it was of a determination that spoke volumes. He was angry, no, furious. Not at her or her sisters, but the ones that tried to take her from him.

This new light posed more questions than it answers. She had questions for him, that was obvious, but he didn't have time to ask any of them. As soon as he got done clearing the invaders, he took them and June to her apartment and told them to not open it unless it was him or Amethyst. Should she call her Amethyst, or Cortana. She herd John use Cortana a few times. Was he lying to them? Did he lie about loving them? Did he lie about being in the military? Well that last one was true, she could tell that by how he moved and analyzed the area.

" What do you guys think about this?" She asked out loud.

There was a silence before she got an answer.

" I don't know. He has killed so many people. I get they were doing bad things, but..." Blake said before trailing off.
" How do you overlook it?" Yang finished.

" How do we live knowing we are housed by a hero?" Ruby asked as she leaned back into the couch with June's arm wrapped around her holding her close.

" I don't know what to make of this revelation." her aunt said, " he has done so much in so little time, yet he hasn't been able to find her."

It was mid-afternoon when John and his force stuck. Onyx flew the bird towards to base his daughter should be at as John stood near the drop hatch. He had weird looking propulsion system on his back that would let him jump around short distances.

John was armed with his trusted assault rifle and a pair of SMGs. A sword hilt rested on the hip part of his armor as well as a couple of knives hidden in their sheaths. Not exactly heavily armed, but he wanted to be fast, nimble and deadly.

" Onyx. I want you to stay onstation when I drop. Keep on comms and let us know what you can see from up here. But if they bring in fighters of their own, bug out." John told him.

" Yes sir. Please bring my daughter back. Make sure to bring her back." He said.

John only nodded and jumped.

He plummeted towards the base as he picked his landing spot. A skylight leading right into the middle of the entrance of the base. As he dropped, he saw his forces assembling. The plan was that twenty seconds after he landed, they would assault the place. Even now he could see Maria with a lance of tanks surrounding the area. A-8 Tigers, T-39 and L5 walkers were walking or driving down the roads. How she managed to get them here is beyond him. All she said was that she had some friends that would be willing to help. He saw Mal standing right next to her. Bladed hammer resting on his shoulder.

He reorianted himself so his feet were downward right as he reached the skylight. He smashed through the glass and slammed into the ground in a crouch with dust clouding his form. Only a dark silouate is seen.

Gallens forces pointed their weapons at the figure and flipped their weapons safety catches. As the dust settled, they could see a gold flash as the sun reflected off of the figgers visor, confirming that the one man that they knew they had to overwhelm with not only numbers, but firepower as well. Lets put it this way, if a fly was buzzing around the building, they would use a fucking nuke to kill it, that is the kind of over kill they would need to take on the Master Chief if they wanted to survive.

The dust cleared and everyone could see the green armor, and before he could even stand to hiss full height, they unleashed their everything they had at the towering titan.

The Master Chief dove forward, knocking the rifle aside from Bull as he drew his M7 and swung the man around to be a meat shield. He heard the bullets impact the man as his aura dropped and shattered from the assault of bullets hitting him. The Chief used the cover granted to him by his shield, to sight and fire his SMG into the chest of the closest Bull he saw. Witch was to his immediate right.

He dropped the guy and turned, clubbing the guy next to him with the weapon. His suits alarms started to blare as his shields started to get dangerously low. He dropped the meat shield and reloaded before drawing the second one from his left thigh and started to target and drop even more of these bastards. He ran dry as a burly man came running at him with a pipe in his hands. The man roared as he swung it downwards hopping to land a hit. The Chief sidestepped the strike as he dropped his right arm to his thigh as a new mag popped out of a slot and into the receiver. As soon as it slid home and clicked, he stuck it into the man's gut and fired. The man went down a half a mag later as the Chief turned and crossed the forward gripps of the guns to catch a sword. A sword he recognized. The white paint was now more grey than anything with the silver petals completely faded, a receiver and bolt carrier towards the middle and a handle and grip towards the end. Full Bloom. Summer's weapon. This filth had HER weapon. He leaned to the side and dropped his right arm to let the sword slide down as he jammed the muzzle of his other SMG into the mans face and fired. The man growled and yelled as he aura took the brunt of the fire before it failed and he took the rest of the clip to the face. The Chief kicked the mans falling face back up as, in a quick couple moves, holstered his SMGs, took out a grenade, armed it, grabbed the dead man by the throat and shoved it into the man's stomach before he threw the dead guy away, and blowing up door leading further into the base, just as the wall exploded to reveal the small army behind the Chiefs back while on the other side was an army of Bulls. The Chief bent down and picked up Full Bloom and tossed it behind him. He herd Raven catch it with a gasp at the sight. She set it in the main cabin of the Tiger she was riding on before she hopped down next to him. Qrow joined up with him taking position to his left with Mal on his right. The guns of the tanks and walkers pointed right at the Bulls as their own tanks and heavy gunners returned the favor. The air was thick with anticipation.

The Chief, John, made sure the two SMGs had full clips before he readied himself. He could feel the adrenaline start to pump into his system as time seemed to slow down.

He took a breath, and sprinted forward as the Bulls opened fire.

Resounding booms echoed the room she was in, stirring her awake. The drugs left her system long before her high ended. She wouldn't call it a pleasurable experience. Her broken limbs and ribbs, the bruises and cuts, all was heightened to the point that she could say that it was happening again. If she was having sex, she would have had the time of her life. Her nerves were on overdrive to the point that she could feel each thread of the sheets under her.

The booming kept going on.

Damn. It was splitting her head open. She took in a ragged breath as she felt her ribs move. She caught a glimpse of them and saw that it was nothing but black and blue and even some yellow towards the edges.

The needle. She needed the needle. The needle will take care of the head ache. But when she went to stand, she fell right back to the bed.

' Well. all good things need to be worked for.' Summer thought as she worked up the muster to get up and get the needle.

Raven watched as John shot and killed each one of these monsters. Weather it be with a gun, a knife or his hands. It may be an inappropriate time for her to think it, but it was kind of a turn on for her. To see a man that she has seen be so gentle and caring to people, turn into an unstoppable killing machine when he needs to be.

She shook her head of those thoughts. Her best friend, or little sister, was here somewhere in this abandoned building. She took the alien carbine from her back and let lose a couple of rounds into some marksmen in the back trying to get some shots in on those that were a bit preoccupied.

The rifle had little recoil to her surprise as the projectile sailed through the air. She gave a mental whistle.

' This thing is amazing. I need to get John to let me try some of the others. This is fun to shoot.' she thought as she found another would be sniper to take out.

Gallen watched as these human parasites marched in and defiled his ground. How dare they. He grabbed his weapon and went to meet his foe. The man that took his forces out wasn't here, but The Chief was.

' Hm. It's a good thing I set up traps and prepped for this.' Gallen thought as he left the office and stood on the catwalk.

The Chief sprinted forward as the tanks and walkers took to battle with the Bulls armor. Gattlein guns and cannon were traded with the Bulls. He had a few teams with him. Canis, Rom, Obsidian, and Magenta teamed up for C.R.O.M. and were blasting away towards his right. He saw Magenta take aim with her rifle and fire into the crowd. The beam of intense plasma cutting through aura and staggering others as Rom had his oblong box out. He watched as the box shifted, compacting or extending until it formed the familiar shape of a gravity hammer. He swung and crushed a group of three Bulls with the head as the pulse it emitted crushed them.

To his left he saw Scarlet, Thorian, Mal, and a man in body medium armor with an LMG, sidearm, and a combat knife strapped to his back, cutting down even more.

As for Raven and Qrow? They were working to find and possibly free any of the slaves.

" John," Speak of the devil, that was Raven, " We got a problem. The bastards have wired some of the cells with explosives. We can get through it easily. Keep an eye out for anyone with an object that is detnantor like device, let us know so we can get clear or take him out."

" Roger that" he reported as he slid in new clips for. the SMGs and went on killing.

He finished a woman off with a smack to the face and a shot to the chest. He turned and shoulder bashed a man off of the catwalk. He turned and saw Gallen looking at him with a burning hatred. He drew his sword and got into a ready stance. The Chief slung his SMGs and drew his knives. Now it was time to kill the bastard that took one of his greatest friends, attempted to take his children, raped his friends sister...and killed that same friends husband. It was time for payback. And he was going to collect each and every cent of it.

" Hmp. I was expecting that Mendez ass hole. Not you. But now matter. You will die here, today, by my hand and blade. I Gallen Toures, will slay you. I will porade you carcass through the towns. I will have the respect of all Faunas. And Humanity will be purged from this world." Gallen boasted.

The Chief said nothing.

" Nothing to say? Hmm. I guess the rumors are true. You are nothing but a soulless machine." Gallen said as he chuckled and charged.

The Chief met the charge with his own. Gallen swung his sword from the side hoping to take the Spartans head off. The Chief brought a blade up and blocked the blade in his left hand as he swung with his right, he missed as Gallen jumped back. Gallen came in again with an over head strike that the Chief deflected.

On and on they traded strikes and blows. Each getting their hits in. But with the Chief, his shields kept recharging with each spare moment, while Gallen's aura didn't recharge anywhere near as quick.

Gallen pulled a side arm out and at a random spot off to his side, and dropped as the Chief swung. He was puzzled by the fact that Gallen wasted a round just to drop to the grating, when he felt a hard impact to the side of his helmet, dropping his shields and snapping his head to the side. Gallen shot to his feet, grabbed the spool of cable that hit the Spartan and wrapped it around his neck. He looked and saw the other part of the trap. He shot the cable holding the I-beam and it came swinging down. He sprinted to the safety of a junction and watched as the beam slammed into the chest of the Spartan.
John was lifted off of his feet. His shields now gone and his chest plate was cracked and dented. He felt that kinetic force transfer from the beam to his chest plate to his ribs. The air left his lungs in an explosive exhale, cracking a couple even. All he could feel was that nothing was under his feet and he was falling. It took a second or two or two before he realized that Gallen was going to try and hang him. When he did find that out, the cable went taught, slamming his half ton bulk down. The fall almost did him in, if it weren't for the reactive circuits in his armor. All he had to do was to think about grabbing the cable with one hand while the other grabbed the energy sword. His hand snagged the cable just above the loop around his neck and pulled up as it went taut and swung the ignited sword through it. He fell onto the cat walk under him and started to undo the noose. When he was done, he was hit by another spool of wire, and just as quickly another something slammed into his chest cracking even more ribs. The seal on his helmet came undone as he landed on the catwalk below. As he stood someone jumped onto his back and try to plunge a knife into his neck. The Chief reached up, grabbed the perp by his arms and threw him. The perp went sailing as he felt his helmet go with him.

Gallen got to his feet and looked at the object in his hands. He then looked up at the Chief and was met with the face of John Mendez. His confusion only lasted for a second before he dropped the helmet and stabbed his blade through the visor with a sinister smile.

" Well, this was a surprise. But a welcome one. Ohh how you are going to pay for the blood on your hands. All those innocent faunas you killed last night and over the past year. Your days of terror ends here." he said as he raised his blade, hooking the helmet and throwing it into the raging battle down below.

He could hear John wheezing a bit due to his ribs. `` Oh it is only a matter of time. He is wounded. I can take my time.' Gallen thought as he started forward dragging his blade.

While John was wheezing a bit, it was nothing he couldn't handle. After all, he had worse during training and in any of his engagements with the Covenant or insurrectionists. He gritted his teeth, took a breath, and got back to work. If Gallen was going to take his time and try to play with, that was his mistake.

John struck when he got into hand to hand range. He blocked the sword swing with his armored forearm, stepped inside his reach, and rained fists. He punched Gallen in the gut, stomped on his foot, a fist to the face shattering his already broken nose and teeth. Gallen's head snapped back as John took his sword and threw it as hard as he could out the window. It shattered letting in the cool evening air. Gallen spat blood and came charging back with a fist cocked. He threw it missing completely as John moved his head to the side and grabbed him by his other horn. In a single pull he took it and a part of Gallens skull, before he shoved it into Gallens stomach earning a yell of pain. John grabbed the hanging spool of wire as Gallen shakily got to his feet, just to have his knee kicked in. He screamed again as he tried to stand again with his good leg, just to have the same thing happen.

His arms were snapped and an eye was gouged out before he felt an armored fist slam into his chest breaking his ribs on the left side.

" That is for Tai." he said.
He then picked him up and lifted him over his head, and brought him down onto his knee, breaking his back. " That is for Summer Rose."

He then wrapped some of the cable around Gallens neck and synged it tight. " And this is for all the families you broke. All the women you have kidnapped and raped. All the innocent blood that you have on your hands. Those people have now been avenged." John said as he heaved him out of the window.

Gallen screamed as he flew out the window. His screams were cut short as he reached the end of the line and his neck snapped from the momentum. His body swung from the cable as news crews caught sight of it. Some were discussed at the sight of such inhumane treatment, while others applauded that a terrorist leader was finally taken down and was now going to be six feet under.

For John however, he just wanted to get back to his search for Summer and hope she wasn't dead or dying.

The sound of fighting intensified at times and died down at others. She had tried to stand multiple but failed. She made to stand again and succeed with a world of pain. She got her balance and found what it was she was looking for. Their on top of the dresser, the needle that would give her the greatest high she would ever have. She grabbed it with her good arm and hesitated. Some part of her fought the drugs as if knowing that much would kill her. She looked at the needle for a long hard time having a debate with herself.

' Don't do it. This amount will kill you.'

" Do it. This will give you the greatest high in the world. Your head will thank you for it'

She looked at her arm and then to the needle. She wanted to get high, be one with the universe again. This was the only way she knew she could do that.

John found and grabbed his helmet from Raven. He thanked her and then went to start his search for Summer. That was twenty minutes ago. In that time he helped free the women he came across. Even now there was enough women to make a female army outside getting treatment.

In the now he was in a basement with even more women being held. He freed them and told them the way up.

" Qrow, another batch of women are on their way up." he said into his comms.

Qrow gave an affirmative and he continued on. But after the eighth room he cleared, he was getting worried and furious.

Would they have moved her at the last minute? Or would they have killed her to spite him or to make this victory a hollow one.

He looked and looked. Room from room and found only found other nude and drugged women, but the woman he wanted to find was not there. He rounded a corner and saw one final room. He dared to hope as he approached.

Summer lost the will to fight it and slid the needle into her arm. She wanted, no, needed this high. She was going to ride the clouds for a long ass time. She pushed the plunger down and felt a burn in her arm as the cocktail of drugs entered her system. The thing was that she didn't need all that much, but when she got ¾ of the cocktail in, she stopped as she began to shake.

The door opened and a man in heavy green armor with a gold visored helmet stand there. She could she only one eye from the broken visor, but it went wide with relief then alarmed as he saw what she just did.

For the quickest of moments, her old self surfaced and took over her speech.

" Help." She said before her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fell back onto the bed shaking violently.

" QROW! RAVEN! DAISY DROPPED A WARTHOG OFF, GET TO IT ASAP AND CLEAR A WAY! I GOT HER BUT SHE NEEDS A HOSPITAL NOW!" He called over the radio as he grabbed the syrange and wrapped Summer in a sheet and picked her up. He paused only for a second to grab her hood. I was full of blood and dirt, with bodily fluids that was a mix of hers and others.

He triple timed it back outside to see that a path has been cleared. But that still did not stop the reporters from flooding him with questions.

The only thing that kept them back was the line of tanks and walkers Maria used as a barricade.

He herd reporters ask multiple questions, but he did not stop.

" Qrow, your driving! Raven, your in the back with me. She has wounds that need to be addressed. And Qrow? Don't spare the horses." he said sprinting to the back of the hog. He thanked his luck as he had Daisy hook up a transport hog to drop off. She and Onyx were already on their way back to the base.

As soon as he got in with Raven with Summer in between them, Qrow took off. He unwrapped the sheet enough to be able to address her wounds. She was thrown into the ringer. Her eyes were bruised as well as her ribs. An arm and leg was broken with so many cuts on her once pristine skin. Her hair was so messed up with knots and other things.

But the thing that had both him and Raven worried was the drugs she pumped into her system. He took his helmet off and dug out his field medical kit. He withdrew and IV. He got it rigged and got Summer's good unbroken arm and pushed the needle in. He braced as Qrow took a turn a hard turn.
Raven took Summer's face in her hands and turned it to face her as she gazed into her face.

" Summer. Summer it is me. Raven. Stay with us. We are getting you help. Just stay with us, Ok?" she said to her.
Summer did not respond. Her eyes were still rolled into the back of her skull and her mouth hung open with her drooling. John could tell she was clinging to life, if only barely.

" John. Is she going to make it?" Raven asked looking at him with worried eyes.

John took a look at Summer. In the time Raven looked at him Summer closed her eyes and opened them again. Her pupils were dilated and only showed little movement.

But what she was able to see was a strong face with determined blue eyes, a faint scattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks. He was handsome but she sure she was going to take her to her final resting place. She just closed her eyes and leaned her head back. But who would take care of her children? Children? Why did she think of that? She should hang on for their sakes as she went to sleep.

John looked at her before nodding.
" QROW! STEP ON IT!" he shouted.
" I AM!" he said.
It didn't feel like it. It felt like they were going at a snail's pace. He heard the sound of sirens coming from behind him. He turned and saw at least three police cruisers taking up position behind him. He would worry about them later when the time comes.

He could see the hospital was only a minute or two away. He slipped his helmet on as Qrow drifted into the front door. He picked Summer up and ran into the ER.

Everyone looked at him. The Spartan that has been on the news from time to time, like now. But the eye catchers were that he was carrying a nude women wrapped in a bed sheet, and part of his visor was gone.

" THIS WOMAN NEEDS A MEDIC ASAP!" he shouted to the nurses.
One of them rushed up to him with a clipboard.

" Name and symptoms?" She asked.

" Summer Rose. Huntress. Age thirty to thirty one. Avenging Bull traffic victim. Gone for a year and a half. She also had been injected with a lethal dose of whatever was in here." he informed her as he took the syrange out and handed it to her.
" Oh Summer? I will do what I can. I deliverd Ruby to her when she came do. I will send her into surgery right away. How can I reach you?" She asked.
Before he could say anything, Qrow, Raven and a couple of officers came running in. Each talking at the same time.

" How is she?" Raven.

" Did they get her into surgery yet?" Qrow.

" What is going on?!" the officers asked.

" She is going in now. Can you stay here and keep me updated? I need to get back and give an action report." he asked.

The nurse was listening and herd that he had a bit of a wheeze.

" Sir, are you injured? I can hear you wheezing." She asked.

" I did take a couple heavy hits to my chest plate." he confirmed as he took a breath with a small whence.

" Sir. I know you are built like a brick shit house built inside a tank, but you need to see someone to patch you up." She said.

" With all do respect ma'am, I have had worse and something tells me you don't have the tools to dismantle my armor." He told her.

She conceded the point but told him to get the tool and come right back. He nodded and went back to the hog.

It has been a few hours since John left and Summer was wheeled into surgery. A doctor had come out a couple of times to give them a status report as to how she is doing. With all the things she has endored, the first things were to get the drugs out of her system as well as to get her broken limbs set and casted. They put metal plates in her arm and leg to keep them in place as she healed.
A blood transfusion was on going to flush out the drugs that were pumped into her bloodstream. They also told the twins that they had a tube going into her stomach to pump water in to dilute the drugs and semon so they can either pass or get pumped out.

Raven went to get more coffee as Qrow sat on the bench. She walked back with a cup in each hand. She handed one to him as she sat before taking a sat in silence, both to worried to really talk.

Movement caught their eyes as they turned and saw a couple of familiar faces. Ozpin and Glynda came down the hallway with an urgency in their stride. Wanting to find out about their former pupil or friend depending on who you are looking at.

" Qrow, Raven! How is she?" Glynda asked not even waiting for Ozpin to ask any thing.

" She is still in surgery. She had her arm and leg broken as well as some ribs. She is going through a blood transfusion right now as well as having water pumped into her stomach to flush out the semon and other drugs she may have ingested." Raven said looking at her friend. She held nothing against Glynda. She may not have been as close to her as Summer, but she still had a good friendship with her.

Glynda took a breath as she embraced Raven. Raven took a second or two before she smiled and embraced Glynda. When they broke the hug, Qrow got up and embraced Glynda as well.

" It's good to see you here Glynda. She is going to need as many friends as she can when she wakes. The Doc's are thinking about putting her in a medically induced coma until her arm and leg is healed. The drugs would be out of her system, but...I am just not sure. There is a small chance she may not wake up." Qrow said as he broke the hug.

Glynda took a breath as she closed her eyes, not wanting to think about what could happen to her friend.

Ozpin cleared his throat getting everyone's attention.

" What are we going to do about her children? And reparations? She won't be able to go hunting for a long time. Ruby and Yang are going to want to see their mother, but I don't think it should be like this." He said.

A sting went threw Raven's heart at the mention of Yang and being a mother.

" John has the space. He can house her and the kids no problem. He has been doing it for nearly two years. As for Summer, he or Amethyst can stay and watch over her and get her whatever she needs." Qrow was saying, " He may be tough and hard on the girls at times, but one can see he does it out of love. Who knew a man raised in a black ops division of the military would make such a decont father."

They all agreed on that.

" Raven. I am glad to see you again. But how do you know John?" Ozpin asked.

She gave him a hard look.

" We fought one another in the October forest when you sent my team at 3⁄4 strength. What is wrong with you? They could have died, and almost did to one of my scouting parties. Thankfully HE was their to keep that from happening. And while I don't know the full story, I have been doing some digging and I know what all you have done. What you are. Who you mostly are." She said.

" What..."
" I know you have been living longer then you are willing to tell. I have a hunch that a man found a run down house with a bitter woman living inside was you. And I am pretty sure that you two became a thing and had children. You and Salem. Salem the immortal and Ozpin the reincarnated person from who knows when. Was that even your first life? And what made you and her split? That history was always muddy at best, obscure at worst." She asked.

Ozpin was at a loss for words.
" I guess you will won't come back to the fold and help me end my fight with her?" he asked.

" No. I don't trust you. My brother may and I still think he is foolish for it. As for me, I won't stop you from what you are doing, I am not here for you. I am here for that woman in thier" She said pointing to the operating room, " She is the little sister I never had but always wanted, and John is the one that brought me in and gave me a shot at redemption and get my husband and daughter back, or at least the admiration." She said before she closed her eyes as the thoughts of Tai entered her mind.

She felt an arm wrap around her and bust pushed up against hers as Glynda embraced her.

" We are here for you sweety. We always will be."

John got back to his base well after Daisy and Onyx left. He went to his bunker to start undoing the locks and seals for his armor and get some bio-foam into his chest. He took a breath as the foam kept his ribs in place. He grabbed a tool and started to undo the locks and seals.

He spent two hours with Cortana to get the armor off.

" You know, grrrr, how, long, it is, going, grrr pesky fucking lock, going to take for me to rebuild this chest plate?" she asked struggling to move the wrench.

John stayed silent as she refed and refed on the wrench to get the lock undone.

" What happened out there? It looks like you got hit by a heavy truck or something?" She said as a *Chunk* was herd as Cortana got the lock undone and started on the others.

" An I-beam slammed into me and sent me to a catwalk. Plus two spools of wire and cable slammed into my head with Gallen trying to hang me." He said.

Cortana stopped her work for a second. " Did you say he tried to hang you? As in a nose around the neck and a fall from a distance to snap necks and close air ways?" She asked for clarification.

Whens he got a nod she just blinked. " I almost feel bad for the bastard. Almost."

" Don't worry about it. He is long since dead. And even if he isn't, he has a broken arm, legs and back as well as getting hung." He said coldly as Summer's broken body came back to him.

There was a silence as Cortana worked on the last lock and seal.

The silence was broken by Cortana.

" What did they do to her? How is she?"
He didn't need to know who she was referring to.

" She was broken. Her eyes were dull and lifeless. She was covered in cuts and bruises. An arm and leg broken...but the most alarming thing was that she injected a cocktail of drugs that could be considered an overkill. If I had to guess, it was full. She used three quorters of it. More than enough OD." he said to her.

He herd ortana gasp as a hand shot to her mouth.
" Is she going to be OK?"

" She should be. I got her to the hospital as soon as I could. The only worry I am most concerned about is if they were able to get the drugs flushed out of her system or not." John answered her.

She didn't say anything after that. Just kept working on undoing locks and making plans to go to the nearby asteroid belt and get some raw material to repair the armor and even make some upgrades.

A few hours later, with John now in some fresh clothes and a shower, he and Cortana left the house and back to the hospital that he dropped Summer off at.

June heard the knocking. Fearing it to be someone that posed harm to her and the girls. She grabbed a knife and looked through the peephole. She let out a breath of relief as she opened the door. Onyx and Daisy stood outside. They walked in and stood in the kitchen.

" Mom, Dad. It's good to see you." She said embracing the two with tears in her eyes.

June returned the blade to its block as she turned back to her parents.

" Did he get her?" She asked.

The two glanced at each other before addressing her.

" He found her. But she is in rough shape. John found her with a needle in her arm and that she was violently shaking. She is in the hospital now. We came to get you and the girls and get to the hospital where she is at. It's a long drive though." Daisy said.
Daisy was a thin, short woman. She had blue eyes and short dark hair. Perfect for getting in a fighter plane and dogfighting. She was one of the sweetest woman you will ever meet, or a woman of extreme wrath...but that was only reserved for those who were on the receiving end of her crosshairs.

She knelt and picked up her youngest granddaughter up as she felt her hug her leg.

" So I suggest that you all use the bathroom and be ready to move. I am sure Yang and Ruby will want to see their mother." Daisy said.

" Is John going to be their as well?" June asked.

" When he can. I dont want to say he is wounded, but he was weazing on the comms and even confirmed that he has come cracked ribs. I can only imagine that what ever did that is making his armor removal a pain." Onyx said.

It was indeed a long trip. At least a three hour drive to get there. When they did, they saw one of Qrow with Ozpin and Glynda as well as a Tai's parents and a few others that they did not know.

When asked about Summer, they said that they were just finishing up and was going to wheal her into a room. And with Onyx and Daisy thier, they can give a consent or not for putting her in a medically induced coma so she can heal without risking her rebreaking it.

When asked how long, they said just a couple of weeks to a month. A head start on mending the broken bones. After some consideration, they agreed and asked when they can see her.

They were led to her room where they saw the women that touched each of their lives. Summer Rose laid in the hospital bed with monitors hooked up to her and beeping away. Ruby and yang walked in with the adults and got a good look at their mom. Both went up to her to see her better with Qrow saying that they need to be careful. They didn't need to be told twice. With Summers arm and leg held in a sling to keep it elevated. They managed to maneuver their smaller bodies around the obstacles and were now setting their heads on her chest in a careful hug. Both had tears in their eyes. It was just like when their dad died and they had to bury him.
Blake watched as they had their reunion. Well sort of. She stayed back watching as the two girls she came to see as sisters embrace their mother. They were crying as they saw her not moving save for the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed.

Blake walked up to the women on the bed and took a long hard look at the woman on the bed. Her people did this to her for no other reason then because she was human. She learned a lesson that she will not allow herself to forget, the Faunas are just as capable of hate and extremes as humans are. The second fact she came to was that she wanted to be a voice and a protector of her people. She wanted to protect not just her people, but the humans as well. An advocater of peace. She wanted to be a huntress.

Ruby and Yang were having similar thoughts as well. Seeing their mom laying their was the push each needed to wanting to be a huntress.

They stayed there in that room for hours, with doctors and nurses coming in ever so often to get updates on Summer's condition or to see if the visitors needed anything. John and Cortana came in shortly after the docs visited last.

When he entered, he got the rooms attention.

" How is she?" John asked.

" Stable. They are going to send her to the hospital in Patch so she can be closer to you guys as well as keeping her in a coma." Daisy said to him.

John walked up to Summer's side with Cortana right next to him. She gasped at the sight of her.

" I know you told me what they did to her and how she looked, but seeing it? It is heartbreaking." She said as she laid a stuffed animal on her chest.

John just simply looked at her and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He then leaned down and whispered in her ear to get better and that they are going to need her.

" I am sure you are all tired. You can crash at the house." He said to the small group who nodded and exited the room. He cast one last look to Summer and uttered an apology for not getting to her sooner.

After a long drive back to patch, and a time of rest later, the small family were up and about. But for our dear little girls, they cornered John.

" Dad, were you ever going to tell us about what happened down in the bunker? That you are the Spartan?" Blake asked with Yang just looking at him with her arms crossed over her chest.

" And don't give us the " when you are older" crap. I think we deserve an explanation." Yang said.

John gave a small growl. " I was going to and I was going to save it for when you were older. Right now you would not fully understand nor grasp the gravity of what all this new information means. All that I am going to say on the matter is that I am a super soldier that has been trained to take on high risk high reward missions. I do what I must to keep everyone safe from both Grimm, and any domestic threat within the confines of the Kingdom. So to answer your unspoken question, yes. I have killed people. And it was for the best. They would have broken out or would have been let go to do it all again. If you want to know why I did it? I can take you to two people who were on the receiving end of such men and women, one of which we just left in a hospital in Vale." he said to the trio in all seriousness.

That hit the girls hard. They knew who he was talking about and it hurt that he had to use their mother to get a point across. They had a downcast look at the mention of Summer.

John let out a breath and dropped to a knee so he was eye level with the three.

" Look, there are things that I have done and have been done to me that you are not mature enough to understand the meaning or the reason. Some will cost a part of you. I told your father the same thing before I told him and even he was put near in tears. I also had to to put in under a classification order that forbid him from talking about it to anyone. And I don't want to put that burden on you so young. I want you to stay carefree and not know what all is out there." He told them.
Yang nodded as she felt John cup her cheek and wipe a tear away.

" Look at it this way, I am keeping you from having nightmares that are bound to come if I told you even half of what all I saw." He said.

" That bad huh?" Blake asked as she hugged herself.

John looked at her and simply said " You have know idea."

" WHAT KIND OF STORIES CAN YOU TELL US!" the ever excited vessel of cuteness asked with a happy gleam in her eyes.

John, Yang and Blake looked at her before John just dropped his head with a shake but had a smile on his lips.

She was standing, or was she floating? She didn't know. All she could see was a white landscape with faint lines running through it in a grid like pattern and air gently running across her face and into her hair. She could hear the softest of growles from an engine but it was so faint one would think it was their mind playing tricks. She heard voices as well. Just as faint but clear. The world went black for an instant and she was able to see someone. It was a man. A man with a strong, handsome face with brown hair, a strong jaw, faint freckles across his nose, and blue eyes that held concern for something.

Everything went black suddenly before she could ask any questions as to what was going on. She was thrown back into the white area again.

" What was that? Who was that?" She asked herself.

She heard a name said a few times. Summer. Was that her name? It had to be. She suddenly felt a hard tug on her arm. It was more of a shock then pain. She grabbed her arm when the same thing happened to her leg.

" What is going on here?" She asked.

She was looking around when she spotted what looked like a flower patch full of roses. She walked up to the garden and found that she was right in the fact that it was full of roses. She knelt next to the roses and held a white one in her hands. She was then knocked onto her back with the rose still in her hand. She got up and started to look around. Her eyes were drawn to a yard with two children. They were sisters obviously, both playing. One had silver eyes and black and red hair with the other having saphire blue eyes and black and blue hair.

They were playing with what looked like a toy airplane made of foam. Throwing it back and forth between them laughing and having a good time.

" June! Summer! Supper is ready!" a woman's voice called out to them. The older of the two, June, dismantled the toy and brought it inside as the younger version of Summer jumped onto her back. She watched as the two children went inside where a man and a woman were setting the table. She watched as the sat down and started to dig in.

" So, how were my two beautifal daughters today? Have a good day in school? Make any new friends?" The father asked.

" Well I go a new classmate! Just moved in from Vacauo! Said her name was Victoria Black. Seems like a nice girl. Her mom is a Photographer and her dad is a weaponsmith. Blacks Armory is what they call themselves." June said smiling.

" Ohhh! What kind of weapons do they make?!" Summer's younger version asked.

That got a small chuckle from the family. She was no more than six years old and she had a fascination with weapons. The way they were designed and looked. The function and history. She loved it all.

" They make all sorts of weapons sis."

" But the real question is. Why do you want to know?" Her mother asked.

" Well. I want to be a huntress." she said glee. If she was hoping to impress her parents, she was wrong.

They still smiled and said that it was a good profession, but asked if she thought of anything else. To her parents hidden horror, she didn't and had her heart dead set on wanting to be a huntress. She said that they not only looked cool and had cool weapons, but that they are some of the most honorable and noble warriors in history. Clearing nests of grimm or escorting people to safety. It inspired her to be one. She wanted to be the inspiration for another little girl or boy.

Her mom and dad couldn't disagree with her thoughts but still wanted to take up a more tame civilian role. But she was still young and chances are it would change given time.

She was suddenly brought back to the fowler garden with the images from what she just witnessed soaking into her mind. It seemed to slip into a place that was blocked before. It was like she unlocked a memory, no it was a memory. A memory from her childhood.

She looked down at the roses again.

" Will touching one of these flowers replay a memory?" She asked herself as she bent down and held another one. And again she was sent back in time to a distant date.

It showed her her last couple months of her elementary school life and fixing to go into a style of middle school...or to a combat school.

" So, did my little sister have a good day?" June asked her younger self.

" Yes I did. Now I just need to fill out this paperwork." She said a bit put off at the thought.

" Oh. What are you working on? Homework or are you writing a letter to a secret crush you haven't mentioned yet." June asked with a smirk on her face causing Summer to fluster a bit.

" Noooo. None of that. I am just not really interested in boys at the moment. No, I got an application for Mantel combat school." Summer retorted with a snort.

June's once mischievous look was replaced with one of disappointment.

" Summer, you know mom and dad dont want you to be a huntress." June said to her.

" I know. It's just that it's something I always wanted to be. I kinda figured mom and dad would be proud that I wanted to save lives while risking my own." Summer replied.

" I believe that is the problem. They did serve and don't wish it on us. They want us to live a full life without the need to fight."

Summer just sighed. " Look I know they would rather have me sit and be a clerk or a nurse, but that is just not me. I want the adventure the job offers. I want to be a beacon to people. I want to inspire people like they did me."

" There is no hope of you changing your mind is their?" June asked after a moment.

" Nope." Summer answered her with a smile.

June wrapped her arms around her in a hug.

" I just don't want to lose you." She said burying her face in Summers hair.

The memory fast forward to when she was filling it out when her mom and dad took a peak over her shoulder. They said nothing, just had a pained look as they went into the bedroom to talk.

And while young her did not pay too much attention to what she was able to hear, older her herd what they were saying. That if she really wanted to be a huntress, they would get her ready for combat school the only way they knew how. So when the sun was barely peeking out, her father woke her, told her she had five minutes to shower, get dressed and get to the kitchen. And from then till the start of her year, she did calisthenics and other forms of physical training. She was already petite so the extra training didn't do much to her appearance aside from taking what little fat she had and burned it.

She was sent back to the field of roses after that. Her hypothesis was correct. She reached down and held another one wondering what from her past was going to be given back to her.

It was another dinner with the family. She must have been in her combat school because she asked about weapon ideas and what would work for her. They all talked and threw things out there for her to think about when June spoke up.

" Mom, Dad. I have something I need to say." She said looking nervous and possibly a little scared.

" What is it honey?" Her mother asked.

She took a deep breath before she spoke. " Mom, Dad, Summer. I am Bi-sexual."

There was a silence as her parents and sister took that in. There was no cry of outrage, but there wasn't any congratulations.

" Look. We are not going to demonize you or throw you out into the cold because of this. We will still love you, no matter what your preferences are. But you do know that a woman can't reproduce with another woman right?" Her father asked.

" I know. I still am attracted to boys dad. It's just that I also am attracted to girls." She told them answering Summer's unasked question.

" So...your not mad? I basically just said that I like to make out with another girl and a boy." She asked still thinking that her parents would disown her.

" We are not mad. Disappointed but not mad. Just be careful with who you get into a relationship with, OK?" Her mother told her.

' Well not a complete disaster. She was still loved by the family and was not cast out so that was a plus.

" But don't think for a minute that it changes your curfew nor does it excuse you from bringing someone into your room. If anything, you shot yourself in the foot with this revelation. For if you are going to have friends over, they can't go to your room." mom said with a smirk.

" But what about sleepovers and alike?" June shrieked.

" How are we supposed to know the chick you bring home from school who you say is a 'friend' is actually going to do the naughty naughty with you while we sleep?" her mother shot back.

" Point taken. But I can assure you that until I am eighteen, it is staying in my pants and bras. I don't want to worry you about anything unexpected." June said.

" Still. If anyone goes into your room, you leave the door open." dad said brokering no argument.

Again she was thrust back into the garden and again she picked another rose.

She watched as she saw her younger self at school. She was working on her weapon when a number of girls came up to her and started to mess with her. Calling her a flat chest or flat ass, or picking on her for her small amount of acne. Even going as far as to brag about taking someone she was starting to have a crush on. Flaunting around her with their size D going into a DD bust and a nice wide ass. It was clear she was having a bad day. She could see that in the way she was dressed. Her shirt looked to be moderately used and could use a wash. Same with her skirt. Her hair was sloppalty done into a ponytail and her skirt looked like it was ever so slightly lose on her waist. Not enough to fall off by itself but if some one tugged on it, it would drop.

She watched as the bell rang and her younger self put her things away and head to lunch. She went through the line with the girls bothering her the whole while. Now that she was able to watch from the outside, she was able to see the group of girls smirk and nod.

As young Summer walked from the line to a table, the girls struck. She was mid step when one grabbed the waist of her skirt, and whether or not it was an accident or not, her panty, and pulled down. Exposing her entire lower body to the lunch room. And the worst part, she walked right out of her skirt. The entire room roared with laughter as everyone pointed a finger at her. She was so red with embarrassment that not only did she drop her food, but some of it hit her discarded clothes.

" This is what we do to bitches that sleep with their teachers to get a good grade. Oh and by the way," The one grabbed her crush by the hand and full on kissed him with the other girls following suit. " Your crush is ours now." They said laughing even more.

She picked her stuff up and ran. She ran all the way from Mantel academy back home. She threw open the front door and went straight to her room where she threw herself onto her bed and balled.

How could she go back to school after that? She would be the laughing stock of the school and she would be called all sorts of names. And she never had sex with her teachers for a good grade. She just studied hard and paid attention.

She replayed what happened. The feeling of hands on her waist and the sliding of fabric down her legs. The cool air blowing past her exposed legs and lady parts. The laughter that ensued. The humiliation.

She felt the bed sink a bit as someone sat down next to her. Her face was turned to the new person to see her sister sitting there. Summer watched as her younger self pulled her sister in and cried on her shoulder.

" I was called into the office. Mom and Dad got the same call. I ran home as soon as I found out. I am not going to make you tell me what happened. I will find out tomorrow. Right now I just want to make sure you are ok and not going to somthing stupid." She said as she ran her hands through her hair in a calming gesture as well as rubbing circles in her back.

" June. Why do they hate me? Am I just that ugly?" She asked.

June held her at arm's length and looked her dead in the eye.

" Summer. Do not think for a second that you are ugly. You may be under developed at the moment and while the acne is not horrible, is noticeable. But I am going to tell you what mom told me. Us Roses are late bloomers. We may look childish well into our mid to late teens. Flat and attractive until one day, we spread our petals and get all the attention. In Fact, I think you will be the hottest one of the two of us. And you won't be able to keep the boys away." She said.

Summer wiped a tear from her eye, " Thank you sis."
" There is no need for that. I may not be in a fancy combat school but I can still get scrappy when I need to be. Of witch, I will be paying those girls a visit. No one, and I mean NO ONE, hurts my baby sister and gets away with it. June said, " Also you may want to put those back on. You must have ran all the way home without them."

Summer looked down and realized she hadn't put on a new pair of underwear or skirt. She had a look of shock and horror cross her face as she realized she flashed every single person on her run home.

" Oh fuck." was all she said.

Older Summer couldn't help but find the situation a little funny ath what young her did. She turned wondering what was going to be the next memory she would relive through. She was surprised to instead see about a month after that event that she saw her sister walk into Mantel Academy in search of her bullies. And when she found them, she beat each one of them, with the one who was her main bully getting the worst. You see, June made a stop in the bathroom and removed her panty and stuffed it into her bra. When she was done beating the girl, she sat on her face and when she felt the girl open her mouth to scream or bite, let lose a piss. A little gross but it did stop the bullying. Plus she asserts her dominance on the bitches.

She was surprised to see that and welcomed the sight of the garden.

" Ok. I love my sister, always have always will, but that was gross." She said as she decided to do one last memory before taking time to take a small break.

She held the next rose and let the memory flow.

It was a couple of years later and she was in her send off dance. A tradition that most of the schools held. She was seventeen and true to her sisters words, she was a late bloomer. The small amount of acne was long gone, she had a beautiful face to match her eyes. She had hips that would make her good for child baring and while her bust was not as big or bigger than her bullies, she had a modest C size that just seemed to be a better fit for her. They were not so huge that she would have back problems, but also not so small that they were hidden. They complimented her finger perfectly.

She was in a silver dress that hugged her abdomen and chest but was lose below her waist. A silver mesh covered the top part of her chest and led to a color that acted as the straps. She was accompanied by her parents and her sister with both her boy and girlfriend in tow.

She was standing on the side awkwardly. She didn't really know what to do. Sure boys came up to her constantly and asked her to dance, but she declined them.

It's not that they were ugly, just that they were stuck up jack asses. Even the boy she had a crush on was a jerk.

The music was drowning out conversation as people went to and from the tables or punch bowls and Summer saw a boy who was a bit more shy and was just kind of their. He strode up to her and just stood next to her.

She leaned in so she can be heard, " If you are going to ask me for a dance, I am going to have to decline." She said as loud as she could.

" I wasn't planning too. I just wanted to get out of the crowd. To be honest I don't really want to be here." He shouted back.

" At least we have something in common." She shot back.

There was a pause as they listened to the music and the sound of people dancing.

" So. What school did you apply for?" the boy asked.

" Beacon. I don't like how Atlas Huntsmen Academy is so militarized. I like the strict yet chill atmosphere Beacon has. What about you?" She asked.

" Haven. I like the look of the place. Its calming with the waterfalls and how nature works." he told her.

They just stood there talking about why they chose their school and their hopes and dreams. It was about a punch bowl later that Summer found someone worthy to have a dance with. This boy as it turned out was a real underdog. Was always in the background keeping low and out of sight.

" Well I can say you are worthy for a dance if you want one." Summer told him.

He had a shocked look with a bit of an embarrassed blush on his cheeks. He looked around to see if she was talking to someone else, When he did not find one he looked at her and pointed to himself. " Me?"

She just nodded, grabbed his hand and took him to the floor gaing all sorts of eyes to them. It was a simple song and dance and that was done. It was not a bad dance nor was it great. Each didn't dance much or well. So they just swayed.

When the song was done, Summer was then seen dancing with her father as the night was drawing to a close. She said her farewells to her friends as she left and went home. Tomorrow she would be on a shuttle on her way to Vale and Beacon.

Summer watched as the night closed. She could see her friends in the crowd wishing her well before they went back to dancing. A good memory. A good set of memories. She was now standing in front of a bare patch of ground. She furrowed her brow in confusion.

She looked around and saw a tree with a man leaning on it. She walked to him, but each step she took to the tree felt like she needed to take ten. When she did finally make it she was out of breath.

The man walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. When she looked up she got a good look at him. He had blond hair, stubble with blue gentle eyes. His physique was was big with a muscular body. He had a smile as he then embraced her. She locked up not sure what she should do. Did he know her? She was about to push him off when he then held her at arms length as if he wanted to get a good long look at her, as if he was trying to memorize what she looked like.

" Summer. We will go far." He said to her.

She quirked an eyebrow at what he said. She heard the sound of fighting and turned to see her, the blond, and two raven haired people who were bickering back and forth like a brother and sister would were all in a forest fighting grimm and trying to get through the hord and make it back to the school. When they did they were on a stage as they were assigned teams.

She was suddenly brought back to the tree with the women she saw leaning on it. She had raven black hair with a shall in it, red eyes and fair skin. She wore red forearm armor, a black skirt and leggings, a japponesse style shirt, a belt with what looked like feathers, and a set of five beaded necklaces.

She looked at Summer with a stern yet caring look.

" There will be a great deal of hardship on the road ahead."

She herd an argument going on so she turned and saw her and this women were arguing over teamwork and that going solo is a good way to fail.

" My brother and I can handle ourselves. We don't need a team that will just slow us down. So stay out of the damn way." The women said stomping away. Summer just grabbed her by the collar and dragged her back to the dorm.

But right after that she saw both her and this woman in a cafe. Both smiling and laughing and having a good time. It looked like they were talking about boys, about school life and things from back home...or at least Summer talked about her past. Raven kind of dodged the questions.

She watched as her and the roge sat and watched kung-fu action movies, telling jokes and playing video games with the other guy.

She watched, as a team, take on multiple assignments with tougher and tougher grimm to take on. School work on top of school work with exams and tests. There was times when it was all of that on top of personal problems. She watched as the blond man was studying and at the same time asking the raven haired girl out on a date with her shooting him quite a bit, with her and the Raven women talking about relationships and how she was interested in the blond but was afraid of rejection. So to see that the blond constantly went to the busty raven haired girl over the one that wanted his attention hurt, and all on top of school. And God forbid something like that comes up during midterm exams. Talk about stress.

Summer gave a shudder at the thought of the stress she must have went through. She watched it all. All the way through to graduation when she, the blond, the busty raven beauty, and the roge went out into the world.

She was sent back to the tree and this time the roge greeted her. He had his head tilted back as he took a drink from his flask. He stoppered it as he gave a groan of satisfaction at the drink.

" Ahhhhh. We have one another backs. No matter the problem, we stick together and help one another out. Weather it is from outside factors, or internal." he said.

She quirked an eyebrow and turned to see what was going to be brought up this time.

This was only a couple of months after graduation. She saw a chapel full of people. She looked around and saw her younger self was sitting in one of the pews waiting. The blond was in a suit upfront waiting for something.

Her unasked question was answered when music started and everyone stood and looked to the back of the hall. The raven girl from beacon was in a stunning white dress and the slightest bump in her belly showing that she was pregnant. She had the roge walk her down the aisle to the blond. It took her a second or three before it hit her. The blond and the raven haired women were getting married. They exchanged their vows and kissed to seal the deal and end the ceremony.

She watched as her younger self slipped into a bathroom for a few minutes to sob. It was clear to her older self that she still had feelings for the blond man. She still wanted to be with him. Be next to him. To have him...to feel him with in her. But her friend took him because she was too slow to ask. She had no one to blame but herself. She watched as the younger girl checked her make-up and after fixing some of it, went back out to congratulate the two.

She was brought back to the tree and saw another memory begin.

She and the Roge walked to a cabin that housed the blond and the raven. The two were talking and chatting as they walked up the steps to the door. She knocked on the door and waited. And waited. She knocked again with a bit of a frown.

" He is home isn't he?" She asked.

The roge looked and saw their vehicle still in the driveway.

" He should be. Their car is still here." he said.

Getting worried, she tried the knob and found that it was unlocked. She opened it and found the man sitting on the couch. He clearly was crying. The red puffy eyes with streaks running down his eyes and cheeks being proof. In his arms however was an infant in his arms squirming ever so slightly. Her and the roge walked up to him and asked what happened

" She. She left. She left me. She left me and our daughter." he said with new tears coming to his eyes. " How could she do this to us?"

Neither could give an answer. The rogue was the one that spoke.

" We will do what we can to help. I don't know what got into her head, but no matter what, you still got us. Weather or not its outside or inside factors, we will always have your back. You can count on us." he told him.

The infant gave a small cry wanting attention. Summer held her arms out and the blond man handed her the baby. She looked and saw the blond hair covering the top of her head with the lilac eyes looking at her.
" She got a name?" She asked the blond.
He nodded and told her that they chose the name of Yang.

" Yang. A beautiful name. Hey Yang." She said cooing to her.

Yang looked at her and smiled and giggled.

Summer's face lit up as she sat down and laid her on the floor to play. Yang flung her arms and legs around as to burn energy and keep attention. After a couple of hours she started to cry.

" What's wrong little one?" She asked as Yang's crys dept getting louder.
The faintest of growles was heard from Yang.

" She is hungry. Do you have any formela?" She asked.

The blond shook his head.

" We were going to breast feed her. We wanted to go the natrale rout. Getting formela was going to be a last resort kind of thing. Soooo, I will be right back. Unless you secretly gave birth within the last twenty-four hours." He said with a lopsided smile.

" Sadly, that is a negative. I have not done the deed and nor do I plan to until I have a certain ring on my finger. " she said with Yang cooing in agreement.

The blond gave a chuckle as he put his shoes on and took off for the market and got formula for the young child.

" Both from internal threats...and external." the words of the roge rang in her head.

She looked and saw two children run from the house. One was an older version of Yang and the other looked to be a toddler version of herself. They got into the woods and into some bushes.

On the other side was her in a night gown and the blond in a tank top and athletic shorts. Each deployed weapons and fought against men with ears, tails and antlers. All had a marking of a bull snorting fire from its nose. She watched as the two fought. The seans would still every so often for her to get a better look at something. She would look and she saw it on a downward swing. A ring was on her finger. She was married to the blond man.

' So the toddler was hers.' she thought.

The fight then continued as a normal pace. The fight went on, even taking limbs off and even needing to take lives. She could tell that both were queezey about it, but they had to if they wanted to win.

She watched as they fought. But then...she watched as they got a cheap shot on the blond man and ganged up on him. They kicked in his knees in as well as snapping his arms. They beat his face in as well forcing him to his knees. She watched as they forced him to watch something, but what? She turned to her other and watched as she got one final man down before getting tackled. A man was at the end of each of her limbs and pulled to keep her from struggling.

She heard the other men address what she assumed to be her husband for a couple moments. She looked back to her other and saw that a man straddled her chest with a knife. He cut the gown off of her, and proceeded to have their way with her before one shoved a blade into the blonds chest. They then threw her into a van as others raided the house.
She thought she would have been back at the tree...but she wasn't. She was trapped in this unmemory.

She watched as what seemed only a few minutes later, a man came running in. He knelt next to the man just as a red portal opened and the raven haired woman walked out. She had a card and flowers in her hands...just to drop them at the sight. She walked up to the two and dropped to her knees as she sobbed. The three had a short talk before he ceased to exist and passed. The man, the one that had brown hair and stoic blue eyes, reached over and closed his eyes, holding a moment of silence for his fallen friend and comrade.

The raven haired woman held his head close to her as she sobbed. She shook him ever so slightly to wake him. When he didn't move she called to him. She kept calling to him, her voice was quivering as she kept calling, her calls getting a little louder with each utterance until she finally screamed it getting the attention of a few of the monsters in the house.
She could almost hear the drums of war starting to beat as a group of ten men came out of the house, arrogant and cocky. They were talking as if this was going to be an easy victory. And with that, she witnessed what could only be described as a blood bath. When she next saw the man, he was drenched in blood and had the coldest blue eyes that held a burning hatred that held the full fury of hell itself.

She leaned up against the tree as she let the new memory slip into place, as well as what she witnessed from her, friend? Was that the right? That man was a friend. How could she be friends with someone that was so willing to kill to avenge her and her husband? Did he do it because he just wanted to kill? Or because he was truly a friend that truly wanted both avenge her and rid this world of evil?
A hand was placed on her shoulder. She looked up and saw the roge. He had a smile on his face as he pulled her into an embrace. He pulled back and held up his hand. In it was a glowing sphere of light that pulsed and had swirls coming off of it like a sun throwing out light and radiation.

He pressed it into her hand and more information came with it. A name. Qrow Branwen. A man she looked to as an older brother. Getting her some of the coolest toys or letting off the hook more times then she should. From staying out late to maybe watching a movie she shouldn't.

He faded shortly after with the raven haired women coming up with a glowing cube in her hands. She pressed into her hands as well as she embraced her. Raven Branwen, twin sister to Qrow Brawnwen. A second older sister to her. She made sure she had her work done and helped her with personal problems like she did in her memory flashes. Tough but had a loving side to her that rarely showed itself.

She embraced her as she faded. The last was the blond man. He, like the others had something in his hands. A glowing halo. Instead of placing it in her hands, he slid it on her wrist like a bracelet. TaiYang Xiao Long. Her husband. The man she loved. The man who she birthed a daughter too. The man that was now dead. She buried her head into his rock solid chest and cried.

" I am sooo sorry Tai. I am so sorry for not being there. I never cheated on you. I swear it." She was saying.

He held her in his arms as she cried. " Summer, I know you would never do such a thing. It was hard for me to only be able to watch what those monsters were doing to you." He said stroking her hair. " I love you Summer. I have never thought you would do anything behind my back. And I inturn never did anything behind yours...or at least nothing that would jeopardize our marriage." he said.

She looked to him not knowing what he meant by that.

" I have been sworn to secrecy on something while you were gone. It concerns a certain friend of ours. That is all I am allowed to say. Chances are he will know if I tell you while in this limbow state." he said sounding a bit scared.

Summer just stayed there in his embrace letting other memories flood through her. Asking Qrow to watch Yang while she and Tai went out to visit a few of her friends that came to visit. Well they both got hammered to the point of just sleeping at a hotel until they were both sober. Well one thing led to another and they boned. When she woke up, she was so ashamed of herself that she threw away her promise of purity until she was married. Tai managed to comfort her and told her that he was planning to propose to her when he got the money to buy a ring. It helped her calm down a little bit but she still felt horrible. But Tai was going to stay and be there for her.

She suddenly felt herself start to sway from side to side as soft piano notes came in from nowhere. She just let it happen as she and her husband had a final dance. Tai gave her a spin and then brought her close to him again with her throwing her arms around his neck and went in for a deep kiss. In turn, Tai placed a hand on her hip and the other on the back of her head, deepening it further.

She broke then kiss with a tear sliding down her cheek and a soft smile on her face.

" Summer. This is where we are going to part ways. But I want you to know that I love you. I always will. And there is also more people that love you too." he said cupping her cheek and wiping away the tears, " I want you to continue to live your life to the fullest. To make each day count and memorable. I may not be there with you physically, but I will always be with you in here." he told her pointing to her heart.

" Tai, I don't want you to go. I just got you back! Please don't leave me." She said dropping to her knees and starting to sobb.

He dropped to a knee and lifted her head up to face him. " I know it may not seem fair. I thought that as well. But our children will need their mom there for them." He took a breath, " Plus, I want you to do something for me. I want you to help John out in anyway you can. If there's one thing I am willing to say about him is that he has had a really rough life before coming here. He has only seen war and hardship with very little joy or even the simple pleasures of life. So please. Don't make this harder than it needs to be." he pleaded.

She looked at him, and then felt a few pairs of arms wrap around her. Four of them to be exact. She looked and saw Ruby and Yang with to other girls covered in shadow hugging her. One was a fanaus with ears while the other one only had a side ponytail.

" Please come back to us mommy. We need you." Ruby and Yang said pleading. She closed her eyes and nodded. They would need a women to look up too. When she opened them again, she was alone. She turned around and was met with a man who had a comforting aura to him with long brown hair and beard with the kindest hazel brown eyes she has ever seen. He was in a robe so white it could be snow.

He approached and embraced her.

" You have been forgiven my child. Go now. Your girls will need you." Was all he said as a steady beeping was her and what felt like a couple of weights were on her chest.

While Summer was in a coma.

John pulled into the driveway up to the house. Ruby and Yang were in the back seat with an arm around each other. They each had brought flowers and some other things such as stuffed animals and cards. Each were worried about her. Even Blake was worried about her and dropped a few cards off for her. Blake had expressed worry to both John and her sisters about if Summer is going to hate her.

She was reassured that she wouldn't. But John wasn't so sure. Being stuck in that kind of a citation for such a long period of time? Something must have changed. Being taken and tortured like that for a year and a half must have changed something. What was the question.

He parked the hog in the garage and helped the girls out before heading inside.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled something good. He entered the kitchen to see his trusted AI companion turn android rocking out with a couple of skillets on the stove and somthing in the oven.

She brought the handle of a spatula up to her mouth as if she was actually singing the song that she was rocking out to.

"...Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it in my face

Explain again to me

Can you take it all away

Can you take it all away

Well you shoved it my face

Explain again to me

Explain again to me

Explain again to me"

She finished the song off as the last few notes played out filling the kitchen as she used the spatula to flip, what we could now see was green beans. She turned and saw the girls and John standing there with amused smiles on their faces. Her face went red with embarrassment.

" Don't quit your day job." was all John said as he started to set the table with the girls chuckling.

" Careful what you say John! Or you won't get any of what I am making!" She shouted to him.

" I am just saying. You don't have to right vocals for the song." he retorted

She scoffed and the two went at it in a sibling like rivalry.

In Atlas

James was sitting in his office watching the news. It was more or less just background noise. That was until Vale's News Network came on talking about the SPARTAN. His attention was immediately drawn to the screen.

" The Spartan was seen, along with a renegade squad of troops from Vacuao, came to the southernmost part of Vale and completely expunged the Avenging Bull terrorist group from the kingdom. Viewers keep in mind that the images we are about to show you is graphic." the screen shows a crowd of people gathered around barricades with only first aid on the other side with multiple women seeking medical treatment. All either had a blanket draped around their shoulders or were waiting for one. Multiple fanaus bodies were piled up near the entrance with one body being hung. James looked closer to see if he can identify the body but couldn't.

" We tried asking questions, but were suddenly pushed back to make a lane." the reporter was saying as the camera zoomed in to see the Spartan running at top speed with a woman in his arms.

" SIR! WHAT IS HAPPENING?"

" DID YOU LEAD THIS ASSAULT?"

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE COUNCIL?"

The reporters were shouting trying to be heard.

James stopped the video and sent it to a display screen so he can have a bit more control. He skipped a couple of frames until he got a clear view of the chief. He took a closer look.

" Its armor. Its damages." he said to himself seeing the chest plate have a deep dent in it as well as a couple more dents in the helmet with the visor even having a hole in it.

" Blue eyes. Computer: use what is available on this image and run a search." he ordered.

The computer scanned the photo and started to do an analysis.

Elsewhere in atlas

Jauqes was seeing the same video. He was just getting done with a call from April. She hasn't gotten anything on the bloody brother and sister duo yet. Not really being able to get anything. He growled. Maybe it was time to up the pressure.

He made a call to the mines and had the mutts parents recorded on both video and audio. Had them record a message for her.

It will give the presser he would need to apply to the mut and give him the weakness he needs to cripple DAWN Enterprises, and that blasted brother and sister duo to be put out of action. And maybe even put under.

He turned back to the screen to see how the Spartan put those animals in the grave, and smiled. He may want to kill the man in the armor, but he did put his speaces first.

A couple of days after. Summer is still in a coma.

John was sitting in his office looking over projects. The underground hanger for the Dawn was completed and ready. All that he needed was some heavy duty airships to lift and transport it thier.

As he was researching the ships capabilities when his door was thrown open. He looked up to see none other than James Ironwood. And he looked upset.

" John. Have you ever disciplined your men when they went on that raid? You should have them fired!" He was saying to John.

" James. One: You don't have an appointment, nor does this seem like an emergency. So what are you doing here? Two: you have no right to tell me how to run my company nor who to fire. I am well aware of what my employees did. And I approved of it. They helped save a women who has been held for nearly two years." John scolded.

" I KNOW SHE HAS BEEN GONE! But I also know you are not telling the people here the whole truth. I know you are more than just a soldier turned Huntsmen. The Spartan had a piece of his visor missing. Blue eyes. You have blue eyes. I am willing to bet you at least have something to do with him." He said leaning on Johns desk, " I have a warrant to search your place of business and your house. One way or another, I will find something and put you away for a long ass time." James told him holding up the warrant. " So let's take a nice long walk threw your place of business."

After a long ass walk with Jame's having a couple of troopers with him, stop at every wall panel and floor crevasse to check and see if it was false. They stopped each employee and even wrecking their work station and product. Every person. Man or women, human or faunas, was ready to start ripping James a new ass for hampering their productivity when he finally left with empty hands.

" So. Now that you hurased those under my employ and got all of them to down right have a dislike of you, did you find anything?" John asked in a mocking tone that pertraid his disdain for James actions.

James turned to him and pointed a finger, " I still got your house to search! I may not have found something here, but that could easily be because you are just that good at hiding shit! Now lets pay your house a visit shall we?" He said smugly.

When they got their, he had his troopers pull the plants from their beds and over all made a mess, much to the dismay of Cortana. She was irate and ready to shove a SHEIVA up their asses. All her hard work into caring for the flowers and the garden was for not. They tracked mud all threw the house tearing the place apart. Ripping out pots and pans, drawers in cabinets, dressers and invading personal belongings. Mostly the girls stuff. Cortana's included.

Her and the girls shirts, pants, dresses, toys, and in Cortana's case, some things that she kept from both the girls and John. * Cough cough* smut and other adult items. * cough cough*

They randomly punched holes in the walls and floors.

When they left hours later, they left it in a mess.

" Now that you wrecked my house and personal property, did you find anything?" John asked with Cortana just shaking in barely contained rage.

" You better realize that you are not only going to pay for any damages, but you are also cleaning this place and reambercing me for all the work I put in out their in that garden." Cortana said, her voice dripping with poison and venom.

" James just turned to them with a scowl. He told his men to get back into the transport, but before he could get in, John grabbed his arm and turned him around.
" Did you not just hear us? You destroyed my house in a damn witch hunt. You invaded our privacy and wrecked the place we live…"
" I don't need to do anything. Fix it you goddamn self." James said shoving John off of him.

He was then met with a hard punch to the face and was sent to the ground.

" hahahaha. You just fucked up dude. I am a General in the Atlas military. I can do just about whatever I want and get away with it. Including leaving this place in shambles and you in the hospital." he said getting to his feet and whipping the trickle of blood from his mouth. " I could have you shot for striking me."

Before John could respond he saw the school bus pull up and drop off the girls. They had smiles on their faces and didn't have a care in the world. Had being the key word. For when they saw the yard and Their new father staring down a man in an Atlas General uniform, their faces fell.

When he turned back he saw that Ironwood drew on him. His engraved silver revolver pointed at his face.

" I am placing you under arrest for obstructing my investigation. No if and or buts about it. You are going to be locked away for a long time." He said with a smirk.

" Why? Because the evidence you were hoping to find doesn't exist? You are acting like a sore loser and throw a temper tantrum like a damn child? My children act more mature than you are acting right now." Cortana spat at him.

" Daddy? What is going on?" Ruby asked.

Everyone looked at her. Ironwood simply said that her dad and aunt were under arrest for housing a felon.

" Have you seen anything that suggest that we have? You tore the house apart in search of it and have found nothing. So pay the bill for the damage and get the hell off of my property." John said with contained venom.

" I don't need to pay for anything." was all James said before leaving.

John gave a growel.

" What was that about dad?" Yang asked.

" He thinks I am or work with the Spartan and wants what is theirs to be his. Probably to tear into it and find out what makes it tick so they can replicate it on a massive scale. Even though he has know idea as to how to use it." John answered.

" But you are the Spartan dad? Why would he want to steal your armor? Why would you want to keep it from him?" Ruby asked.

John looked down to her with a smile. " That is because I don't trust him or the government with my armor and weapons." he said as he dropped to a knee and placed his hands on her shoulder, " Let just say that some of the things that I have should not be replicated nor tried to be replicated." He said to her.

" Why?" came her reply.

" When you are older. You wouldnt understand what all had happened." He said as he patted her shoulders and stood back up.

James was pissed as he drove away from the Mendez residents. He was so sure that John was THE Spartan. THE SPARTAN! But what did he find? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He trashed the house and business of an innocent man. But he was so sure that he was. Sure there are many people with blue eyes, but none with the amount of steel and grit that John does. So how did he get it so wrong.

A ring was herd as he withdrew his scroll and saw that it was Headmaster Ozpin.

" Ironwood here." he said.

" James. Report to my office. Now." his voice brokerd no argument.

" Fine." He said hanging up and pocketing his scroll.

He blew out a breath as he told the driver to change course.

When he entered Ozpin's office thirty minutes later, he was irritated.

" What do you want Ozpin. I need to get back to Atlas. Jauqes has some new tech he wants to test out. Plus I need to get back to the drawing board about who the Spartan is, and I am damn close to finding out who he is. So if you could please tell me what you want me here for that would be really great." he said.

" Why did you haras one of my huntsmen? You went to his place of employ and ceased any productivity, then proceeded to utterly trash his home and did not even bother to pay for the damages you caused all in the name of a witch hunt. So I ask again. Why?"

" I do not need to answer to you. You are not even in my jurisdiction. Goodby." James said.

He made it as far as the door, when it opened and none other than JOHN CENA!

"The fuck is going on?"

Laughing can be heard as the camera pans to an off the sean shot of Cortana with a recorder.

" Really Cortana? You had to play that meme didn't you?"

"Yup. It was a perfect time and spot for it." she said.

" You enjoy doing this don't you?"

"Yup"

" Sigh, can I get back to the story please?"
" Sure." she said smiling.

" OK guys for real this time."
He made it as far as the door when it opened and none other than the man that James left in ruins only an hour ago. John stood there with a sidearm drawn.

" You better give me one good reason why I should not shoot you in the bloody knee and leave you for the Grim." John said with absolute venom.

" You have some explaining to do James." Ozpin said as he ushered him to take a seat.

James walked away from the elevator and back into the office.

" Now tell me as to why you did all of the things you did this man and his family?"

" It is because he is the Spartan and everything belongs in Atlas hands for research and development!" James shouted.

" He did have a warrant. But he went way too far and was too aggressive when searching. And I believe that if a warrant is served and nothing is found and everything is cleared, one should pay for the damages if any was made, especially if no evidence is found. That or at least keep it all somewhat neat and offer to put things back." John said.

" Your dirty and you know it! You may not BE him but you work with him. I just know it and one way or another I will find out. And when I do…" James started but was cut off by John.

" Listen to yourself James. You have not found a single link between me and him. You are painting him as an enemy of Remnant that needs to be killed at any and all costs. And what has he done to give you that thought? I bet nothing. You are just wanting him to be a villain." John spat back.

" JAMES!" Ozpin shouted getting his attention, " You are acting like a child who is not getting his way."

James looked at him. " I am not. If you know even half of what I know…"

" You are going to shut it. I have personally met with the Spartan. Yes he is from space. No he won't hand anything over. Yes he does plan on informing people when the time is right about where he comes from. And you are to treat him as an ambassador for his government. He doesn't really know where he is in relation to his home planet." Ozpin spat at him. John was wondering if he was going to spill everything. He got his answer when Ozpin continued, " So, HeadMaster Ironwood. Are you going to arrest me and lock me in a prison because I was privileged enough to have been briefed by him about it?"

" You work with him?" James asked stumped.

" Sort of. He has come and asked if he can use a couple of teams once or twice. And I have earned his trust."

James just gawked.

" Now. You are not only going to apologize to this man, but you are also going to pay for the excessive damages you caused."

James's eyes bulged to the point of exploding, " WHAT?"

" You left a mess at his house. Mud stained carpets, landscaping ruined, privacy invaded, holes punched in the walls...you name it. John, how much in repairs does he owe you?" Ozpin asked.

One week. Summer is still in a coma

It was the dead of the night and the water was calm. Just the gentle lapping of water splashing on water. A sudden light and sound of engines was heard and seen as multiple airships were seen hovering over the water.

It was time for the Dawn to be risen. John led the team down into the water with cables and other riggings to help in assisting the lift effort. So down into the depths they went. It was almost dawn when they were done and ready.

" Captain. We are ready to lift. Requesting pick up." John said into his mic.

" Roger that sir. A Bull head his on its way. Come and join me when you can. You know more about this than I do." the Captain said to him.

As the team broke the water, the bullhead swooped down and picked them up going to the ship that was considered the lead. When it docked, the Chief made his way to the bridge to see a man in an old sea captain's uniform. Hat included.

" Glad to see you sir. We will begin lifting momentarily. I just want you up here to give guidance." He told him.

" Yes sir. But with all due respect, I should be in the landing bay to supervise. No offence but I can't see what is happening down there from up here." The captain gave a nod but still said he wanted a reassurance that his ships would not be harmed.

" If everything goes as planned, you will have nothing to worry about. I have quick release's set in case we need to drop it in a hurry. I also have the rest of the party on comms as well." was all he said before turning and heading back to the launch bay.

He looked out the bay and saw the cables. They were slack so no one was taught. That will soon change.

" Canis, Torian, Qrow. You hear me just fine?" he asked.

" Loud and clear boss. You buying drinks when we are done?" Thorian asked.

" Dude, it's only morning. Its way too early to go out drinking." Canis said to him.

" It's five o'clock somewhare." both Thorian and Qrow said at the same time.

" Qrow, you are always drinking." Canis said.

" Your point being what?" Qrow asked as the sound of a stopper being undone was heard in the background.

" Focus people! We begin operations in five." John said speaking into his mic to cut the chatter.

" Four, three, two, one, start raising it." John said to the captains of the other ships.

As soon as he said that, the ships pulled the cables taught. He heard the shipps fed more power to the engines to try and break the Dawn free from the mud it buried itself in. The shipps added even more power and still nothing was moving. If anything the ships were beginning to dip towards the water.

" Sir! We are giving it all we got! But if she doesn't break free soon, we are going to need to rethink our strategy and break off!" the captain of the ship he was on spoke to him.

' Come on. Come on. Break free.' John thought hoping that his luck hasn't decided to take a break.

He heard the whine of the engines straining to lift the half of a ship out of the water as even more power was added. He was just about to call it when the ships violently leveled out as the water rippled as if something big moved. He watched as the water kept rippling as the ship not only broke free from the mud, but was fixing to break water. And sure enough, just as the light of dawn hit them, the Forward Unto Dawn broke water and was now hanging suspended in the air, with the light of the first rays of dawn striking the hull, making the water shine.

It was a full two and a half hours of flying the broken hull to the landing site. A two and a half hour flight of slow moving, careful maneuvering, and fraying of nerves. Everyone was sweating towards the end of the journey. Their nerves were frayed just a tad more when it came time to settle the ship into its cradle.

Cortana and the girls stood on a catwalk to watch as the ship was lowered down into the hanger. It settled into its birth as John dropped down onto the ship and started to undo the cables and riggings. All of witch was done in under thirty minutes.

" So that is the ship Dad wants to rebuild?" Blake asked as she saw the ship rest in its cradle as water was running off of the hull, engine nacelles, and hull breaches.

" It is. We are going to rebuild it and with it, we can travel the stars again." Cortana said to the children.

" Can we go in and look around?" Ruby asked excitedly as she was hopping from foot to foot.

Cortana chuckled at the sight before giving her a warm smile, " When all the hazards are cleared then maybe. IF you behave and be a good girl, I am sure Daddy will give you three the tour." Cortana told the girls.

Giving them a goal to shoot for was a good thing. Both John and Cortana wanted them to work hard and genuinely. Give them a goal to shoot for and they may just surprise you.

" But I think he was wanting to take you to the hospital to visit your mom today." Cortana said, more to Yang and Ruby then to Blake.

They each gave an 'oh' before watching as John jumped into a breach and started to run power through the ship...sort of. The reactors were shot and the generators only had enough power to cycle one set of doors open. So he had to force the doors open all the way to the reactor room to see if he can jump start it or if he is going to need to run power to it.

The result was that he was going to need to run power to the generators to jump start them as well as the reactors. Great. Just great. Chances are that he was going to need to clean and rebuild the reactor as well. He sighed and went to congratulate the teams for jobs well done.

And after that he was going to take Ruby and Yang to see their mom.

April was doing homework when her scroll buzzed with a number she really did not want to answer. Shakingly she answered.

" Hel-hello sir."

" Mut, report." Jauqes ordered.

" Nothing sir. They haven't done or said anything that would give away any secrets." Was all she said.

" I guess it is time to up the pressure." He said more to himself than to her. She then heard him switch the phone to what she thinks was a recording.

She heard her mom and dad talking about her. How she is doing them proud and that they hoped Canis would be able to find her. She cries at hearing their voices and hearing them praise her.

" If you want to hear from your parents again, you will give me what I want. Or, well, I don't need to say what will happen for I am sure you get the idea." he said hanging up leaving crying at the table.

Her uncle got home a few minutes later to find her balling. He came up to her and took her into his arms and held her. She gave a silent signal saying she wanted to talk away from her scroll where the Schnee could listen in.

He took her outside and set her down.

" What happened?" he asked.

" Jauqes asked about what is going on in the company and when I said that I got nothing, he played a recording of Mom and Dad before making his threat towards them."

Canis gave a low dangerous growel. Sooner or later, he was going to reach a snapping point. And when Jacques comes to Vale next, he will take him out.

Two weeks after Summer was rescued. And we reach her awakening.

Over the past week of visiting, the girls have spiced up Summer's room. Cards and flowers sat on the table with stuffed animals tucked into her arms and next to her head. She was off of the meds that kept her comatosed for the past couple of days. All that needed to happen was for her to wake up.
John, Qrow, Cortana and the girls were present. It has become routine. The weekends and a couple of days during the week they would visit the most and each time, Ruby and Yang would sit on the bed and talk to her about their day and week and hope that she would come back to them. They were laying, carefully, on her, snuggling up to her.

" So with the Bulls down and out, what are you going to do now? I am sure there are other supremacist groups you can take care of." Qrow asked.

" With what I did to Gallen, no one would want to risk me coming in and taking them out. I hope that put will put any stop to thoughts of doing what he did. And if not, then I will do what I am good at." John said to him.

Qrow hummed in agreement as he turned to the girls to see them carefully hugging her with Blake sitting on a chair reading a book. For an eight year old girl, she had an above average reading level. She was often seen to be reading on her spare time.

"How is she handling this? Having her dad kill someone that is of the same race as her?"

" She has been taking it all pretty well. She has asked about it but I think she understands that Gallen was a really bad person." Cortana said to him.

While they were talking, Summer opened her eyes, then just as quickly shut them. She took a breath and tried again. Still to bright. She opened one eye this time, slowly and carefully. Once she was comfortable enough to keep it open, she did the same thing with the other eye. She then looked to her chest where she felt two weights resting their, two heads of hair to be exact. One with blond pigtails, and the other with black and red choppy hair.

A small smile spread across her lips as she raised her arms to hug them. Well her left arm. Her right was in a cast. She mentally frowned at that, but still embraced the girl with blond hair minding the IV in her arm.

The girl turned her head to see what was happening. When she saw it was Summer's arm, she snapped her head up to see the face of her mother figgers face smiling and even crying, looking back at her.

" MOMMY!" Yang squealed as she clung to her neck, grabbing both Ruby's and the others attention.

" MOM!" Ruby let out as she clung to her neck.

" My girls." Summer coughed out as she used her good arm to hold both girls to her.

She could feel both girls let tears into her hospital gown as they cried in both relief and joy. So full of relief she almost did not feel the extra pair of eyes on her.

He opened them to see three other people and a child. The rogue she remembered who was Qrow, a close friend to her and even a brother.

The other two were familiar to her but she could not place the names to the faces. And the child was a fanaus. The shock, surprise and horror were evident on her face as the young girl came into view. She hugged her children closer to her and tried to back away from her. She wasn't safe here and neither was her daughters.
Both the monitors and the movement alarmed everyone in the room and even made the girl have a downcast look.

" Summer, Summer! Easy. Easy. You are safe here." Qrow said as he held her by the shoulders.

All Summer did as stare at the girl.

They followed her eyes to Blake and finally understood.

" Summer. She is okay. She is not one of them. You can trust her." Qrow said to her.

Ruby and Yang nodded in agreement as they hopped off the bed and held Blake as she hid behind the bigger man's leg.

Summer coughed a couple of times before she managed to horse out " What happened to me?"

" You were taken to be a slave." John said getting right into it.

Summer snapped her head up to look at him.

" I will take the girls. They should not hear this." Qrow said as he ushered the girls out the door and leaving John and the android to tell Summer what happened to her.

They waited a full menite for them to get out of ear shot before he started to tell her what happened.

" What are some of the last things you remember?" John asked.

Summer looked at him with a guarded look before she sighed and started talking.

" I remember my first day as well as some shotty spots in between. The beatings, the drugs, the sex." She paused as she started to shake a bit at the memories she was asked to relive those parts of her past. " Look, I know you need to know this in order to do whatever investigation you need, but please, don't make me relive this." She asked.

When she got a nod from the two she let out a breath of relief. She then looked at them and really took the time to study them.

" I am so sorry, you two look famier, but I can't place you anywhere." Summer said sheepishly.

" It is ok. With what you went through, it is ok to forget names. We are neighbors, or were. My name is Amethyst. And this caveman is my half brother, John." the now re introduced Amethyst said to her.

' John and Amethyst. Yes. She watched the girls multiple times. And John, he trained me in hand to hand… or at least attempted. I am still garbage at it but it is the thought that counts.' She thought, ' But he never had a child? Hell he was still single when I last saw him. So how did he get a child? And why a faunas?'

Questions she would need to ponder later. " What did those...monsters do to me? And what were the treatments that I had to go through." She finally asked.

" As far as what those animals did, it should be obvious. I won't say anything as to not bring up memories. As for the treatments, you have a broken arm and leg, as well as some broken ribs. Your right arm and left leg are in a cast. The doctors and nurses thought it would be best if you stayed in a coma for a couple of weeks to have your bones mend and set. As for the tube in your stomach, there was so much ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, as well as other types of drugs mixed with so much semon that they had to pump water into your stomach to dilute it enough to either pump it out, or let it pass." John said breaking it down for her.

He broke down what all has happened in the year and a half she was missing. Tai's death and the loss of the house, how her daughters grew and made friends, how he adopted Blake and the blooming friendship that happened.

As she was listening, a knock was herd. John got up and answered the door. He spoke softly to the other person on the other side before he turned and looked at her.

" Summer. The man on the other side of the door is someone that helped in saving you. He is a faunas that went undercover. He has admitted to doing something that he himself is sickened by. So please, don't lash out. He has something he wants to say to you."

Summer gave him a look of question, worry, and a hint of fear.

John took a breath before he opened the door further and a man walked in. He had black leather jacket with silver accents, black cargo pants and boots with silver through out. His jacket had a tiger with wings on it on the back. His eyes were orange and had black hair with silver shot threw it. The eye catcher was the ears on his head. Tiger ears.

Her shock was evadant as she started to shake and even whimper.

The look in his eyes was a mix of hurt and understanding. John and Amethyst got to her side and held her and helped to calm her down. While she did calm down, she was still shaking like a leaf.

Rom looked at her before dropping his gaze as if in shame. " Summer, I know the last time we saw each other it was under the worst circumstances. And I apologise for the role I had to play in that. I know it will take time, but I hope that you will find it in your heart to forgive me for what I have done."

Summer listened to him still shaking, but she did hear what he said. He was asking for forgiveness for what he had done to her. Shakingly she managed to out " In time."
Rom just closed his eyes with a smile of gratitude before he turned and left.

" I-I-I don't w-w-want to go through t-t-that again." she said to the two.

" He was the one to plant the tracker in your hair that led us to you. I would at least give him a chance. " John said to her.

Ok so this next few paragraphs is going to just kind of be a scissor real kind of thing. Fast forwarding through a lot of the little things that Summer went through from treatment. You know the boring things. Also play something smooth or whatever would be playing during a sean like this.

Over the course of the next couple of months we see a number of things happen to our favorite mother and family. We see multiple visits to her in the hospital from her parents and daughters, but secret visits from a certain raven while she slept. Kind of weird and suspicious but hey, she wanted to be anonymous.

We can see Summer looking over paperwork and cards. She talked to her children multiple times, catching up and getting up to speed as to what all happened over the course of a year and a half. Although they were asked to leave out the fact that John was the Chief.

She learned how John took them and Blake in, how Tai died...well more than just his funeral. They shared laughs and shed tears.

She was cleared to go a couple of weeks later, so we see her going to John's house. The girls welcoming her home, showing her her room and spending most of her time their. She still had her casts on, so she couldn't do much but she was able to do simple things like light cleaning. She earned her keep.

She visited her deceased husband with the help of John and Cortana.

Cortana took her out to her new clothes and pretty much rebuild what she lost.

A few months have gone by and we can see her going to the hospital to get her casts removed and doing physical therapy. Both at the hospital and at home to get her arm and leg functioning.

It has been a full month after Summer got her casts off. Yang had a birthday coming up and she would need to go out and get her a gift. She just got done with her exercises and was wanting to visit Tai before she left for Vale. As she was lacing up her boots and checking herself over, she peeked outside and saw that it was cloudy out and the threat of rain was seen.

' Just a few minutes. That is all I need. A few minutes alone with him.' She thought as she turned to see Blake sitting on the couch reading.

Summer was still uneasy with her but she has seen her to be an observant, quiet and sweet girl. Blake would often help Ruby and Yang in getting something for Summer, or just cuddling up next to her reading while the older woman would stroke her hair and pet her extra ears by way of comfort. And even some amusing moments of Blake actually purring. And by accident, Summer found a sweet spot, right behind her cat ears. When she found that, Blake had a look of pure pleasure as her leg bounced as if she wanted to scratch the spot with her foot.

" Blake, I am going to go out for a bit. Think you and Yang can watch Ruby for a bit?"

Blake looked up to her and nodded as Summer walked out the door.

She walked the beaten path through the woods to where a scorch mark was seen with burned out areas of a room and collapsed ceiling. She paused for a moment and breathed. She could see a log cabin in her mind's eye with children running around. She let the breath out and moved on to the woods in the back. She walked threw the trees. Smelling the rain coming mixed with the scents of the different trees. The smell of pines and oaks. The crunch of twigs and sticks and leaves. It did not escape her that she possibly walked this path blind folded and cuffed while she was a slave.

Well this slave is now a free woman. All she needed to do was get back to her old self.

She rounded a grove of trees and found what she was looking for.

She approached the head stone and sat down.

For the next fifteen minutes she sat and talked to her dead husband. After she was done she walked back to John's place. He or Amethyst should be home soon. Both have insisted that one of them accompany her when she is out.

' Just in case' they both said to her.

When she got back, it started to rain and was starting to get to be later then she was hoping. Deciding to get supper going she got to cooking with the help of the girls as the rain started to pick up with the sound of thunder and lightning was herd.

A bolt of lightning ilumanated a room. In that moment of light, we see that the room had, well, everything that a bedroom would need. Dresser,closet, bed, and other female touches. But the bed was empty. It had evidence that it was occupied. Then the crash of thunder hit...loud. There was the sound of a woman whimpering. The whimpering was indeed coming from a women. She was in a burgundy nightgown and was in the fetal position shaking and rocking back and forth, pleading that 'they' would stop. One could see the cold sweat running down her forehead. She kept rocking and pleading. Her eyes were closed so tight one would think that she was trying to shut out the world. The sound of a door opening was her and we see a mountain of a man walk in. John knelt down next to Summer who is having a bit of an episode.

" Summer" He gently calls giving her a shake." Summer it's going to be OK."

He picked her up and she immediately she latches on to him. Crying her eyes out into his chest. He sits down on her bed and just holds her. He eventually lets what comes next happen naturally. He rocks her and gently humms. Just to soothe her. She eventually calms down and is in a slumber.

This has been going on since she first got home. Not as often as one might think, only a couple of times a month. She would have a normal day. But as she slept, she would start to have nightmares. Nightmares of her days in captivity. The beatings. The yelling. How they used her as a stress reliever. It all hit her at once. And this is the result.

John was normally the one that help break her out of it. Simply letting his presence being the comforting factor that helps her through the hard spot. And when it is a harder episode, he found that humming a small tune helped. A little trick he found after doing the same thing with the girls when they have a nightmare.

Laying her down he goes to stand up and head out, when she takes his hand and in a timid voice askes" Please, don't go." Her eyes held absolute fear and a pleading look. Nodding he slipped in with her and she automatically latched onto him afraid of the nightmares that might come. But instead of nightmares, she fell back into a blissful sleep, knowing she was in good hands.

When Summer woke, she felt refreshed, but she still rememberd the nightmare she had. It started as it always did. Her and Tai sitting in the kitchen talking and having coffee and talking. The vans roll up and they go to meet their foe. But when they got outside to fight, did the nightmare start. They would start fighting. But then it would show Tai leaving the fight to a woman outside the fighting. They would start kissing leaving her to fight alone. She would catch glimpses of the two as they started to undress.

She would then get pinned down and the two would approach and mock her as she was then striped of her clothing and forced to service the men and women their as they slapped her and forced themselves onto her. And the girls? Blake led them to her and proceeded to demean them and told the men to take and have their way with them. She would be forced to watch as her babies were ravaged and used. She would then start to get straight up beaton.

But after some time, everything would seem to reverse. The beatings would stop and she would see her daughters with Blake, John and Amethyst come and help her up. And Tai embraced her as all the bad men and the ruined forms of the girls and her husband turned to dust and floated away.

The sound of faint humming could be heard as she was embraced by her loved ones. This as well has been happening a bit.

She looked to the other side of the see that it had the look of someone slept there with her, but no evidence as to who it was. The door opened and John walked in with a tray of food for her.

" Summer. How are you feeling?" He asked as Ruby and Yang walked in behind him.

" I feel somewhat refreshed. Its just the after effects." She said sitting up to make room for the girls as John set the tray on the nightstand. He turned and placed a hand on her shoulder.

" We are all here for you if you need us. I know what it is like to feel alone amongst a crowd." He said to her before he got up and went about his day.

She watched as he left woundering what why he would ever feel alone.

It was yet another dreary day. The storm may have gone, but another was right on its heels. But that did not stop Summer from going outside for some fresh air. She sat on a swing and swung. She replayed the dream over and over again in her mind like it was on repeat with some of the things she was able to remember. It wasn't much but the things she did remember, sickened her. Her first days as a slave, to her chance of a meal but chose the cock instead, the vibrating egg that made her look pregnant and holding a bottle of alcohol in her pussy, being rented by the only one that seemed to give a damn about her.

She closed her eyes at the last one. She was not a lesbian nor was she bi-sexual like her sister. She was happily straight and had no intentions of changing that. What happened with that woman was nothing more than her being rented off to be used.

The nightmare replayed again. The beatings she received were painful. The last one being more so. But that was not the only way they abused her. They mentaly did as well. Gallen, she found out thanks to John, had the semblance of shifting to look like someone else. All he had to do was get a good look at the person he wants to take the appearance of, and do so. He often came in and tormented her as her husband. He beat her, raped her, brought her to tears with his words and actions. And that women, she was no help either. She would show herself off, have loving sex infrount of her with Gallen as Tai all the while telling her that she is useless.

A tear ran down her cheek as it all replayed with in her head. Then another tear. And another. Soon she was crying. She wept for hours as the storm started up again. She stayed out their until she was soaked to the bone before John came out and brought her in. She wept as sat Amethyst helped her into the shower. And for the rest of the day she in her room and wept as the day of her abduction was swam through her head. All of the regrets and could have beens and what if's.

What if she was stronger, or what if she had her sidearms with her, or what if she was able to get ahold of the Master Chief, or or or or or. It was so much at once that it hurt her head. But her memories would not let her drift into the merciful embrace of sleep, and when she did finally get to sleep it was nothing but Tai looking disappointed in her.

It has been a couple of months and Summer has was dead beat tired. For some reason she kept reliving the past and having nightmares almost nonstop. She had bags under her eyes and just looked exhausted. She barely ate and rarely came out of her room.

The memories of Tai kept coming up. She saw him everywhere she went. He would look at her and shake his head, or just stare at her with a hard unreadable expression. She wanted him back so much it began to physically hurt. It hurt like a knife was being slowly stabbed and twisted in her heart. She just wanted the pain to end. Why is it that she survived and he died? Why is life so cruel?

It was the girls first day back to school and both John and Amethyst were out of the house. Both were needed at Dawn Enterprises for a meeting. As for her? She was sitting on the sofa watching a drama. One of the charters was almost a copy of Tai. Not an exact match but close enough that she was sent over the edge in tears as a whisper in her ear was herd. A whisper that she has heard many times before. It was Tai. He was beckoning for her. He wanted her to be with him. But how? He was in the land of the dead and she was in the land of the living? How can she be with him if that was the case?

She found her body moving without her knowledge as she went to the gurage and then to her room. She found a way to be with her husband. What was the point of going on if Tai was not here to share it with her.

John was watching over his employees as they were going through the Dawn and getting measurements and other things that would make their work somewhat easier. He watched as they mocked things up or drew up plans or even where to start.

He took a breath as a feeling crept up his spine. He couldn't place it but he felt like he had to get home. Blowing out another breath he told his crew that he was heading out.

" Sir. Is everything OK?" Thorian asked coming up to him.

" I just have a funny feeling. I feel like I need to be home or something is going to happen." was all he said before heading out.

Summer was ready to see her husband again. She had the tools needed and was now ready to do so. All she needed was the height and something sturdy to tie a rope to. She lifted the bed skirt up and tied the rope around the leg and fed it out to the stairwell. She took the knife she got from John that he found during the mop up action, and cut her wrists. With her writs now bleeding and a nose around her neck, she looked over the stairwell and to the front door. She saw Tai their with his arms held out as if to catch her. She smiled as she was finally going to be with her husband again. She took a step forward and dropped.

John got home and parked his hog. For some reason he felt the need to hurry and get inside. He pulled his key out and unlocked the door and opened it...just to see Summer fall from the stairwell and towards the floor with a rope around her neck leading up to her room.

In the time between heart beats, he threw the knife he had on his back and it cut through the rope just as it went taught.
Gravity being gravity, it pulled Summer down towards the floor as John dove forward and caught her. He pulled her to his chest as he rolled back to his feet.

He looked at her and saw her face was blank.

" Summer? What were you thinking?" He asked with worry.

Summer just looked around before she asked why he saved her.

" Summer. You were going to comit suicide. What were you thinking? Why do you want to die?"

" Tai. He is waiting for me to come to him." She said.

" Summer. Tai is dead. I hate to sound so blunt but he is gone and not going to be coming back. You need to be thinking about Ruby and Yang! What would they think if they came home to see you hanging? They would be devastated. They would think you did not love them. Do you want to abandon them? Do you not love them?" He asked her.

Her children. Oh God. She was going to leave them alone. She was going to orfen them. Yang not only would have lost her father, but two mothers, and Ruby? She would have lost everyone that she knew as parents.

She stared into John's blue eyes as tears came to hers. She let them run down her face as she pulled John into an embrace.
John wrapped his arms around her and held her as she cried into his shoulder. He ran a hand through her hair hoping that would comfort her as it would Ruby or Blake. As he ran his fingers through her hair for the next twenty mentis when he felt something. It was a bump. He parted her hair to get a better look and found what looked like a tick. But this tick was black with white bone armor covering its top. He felt a bit more and found two more.

He pulled out his scroll and sent a text.

A second later, a portal opened and Raven walked through it

" What do you need?" She asked.

Summer herd her but did not turn from Johns shoulder.

John gave a ' come look at this' gesture as he parted her hair again. She peeked in to see what it was he found, and she understood why a noose was around her neck.

" Gricks." Was all she said. A type of grimm that is attracted to people with a traumatic past. Very similar to regular ticks, they drink one's blood and could spread a disease, but Gricks have a nasty trick up its sleeve. For when they latch on, they not only take blood but also inject a poison into the bloodstream. A poison that leads to sleepless nights and hallucinations and eventually death. It was a good thing no Apathy were around. Grick would either lead the victim to them, set off a pheromone that would attract them, or lead its host to commit suiside.

" How many did you find on her?" Raven asked.

John held up three fingers.

" Well shit. Ok what do you want me to do?" She asked.

" The garage has a concrete floor. Grab a hammer and kill them." was all John said.

She did as he was told and went to the garage and to the tool box, grabbed a hammer and went back in and grabbed the first Grick.

Minutes later the three were dead and the three humans were in Summer's room. Summer was still crying. Who wouldn't? She forgot about her children and was going to leave them to live alone. They would have lost both parents. And that is something she could not forgive herself for. And since the girls would have half a day, they would be home soon. What would they do and think if they were the ones that came through the door first and saw her haning their. Unmoving and not breathing. That would kill them. And the falt hers.

Raven came up and knelt next to Summer and gently called to her.

" Summer," she called gently as she grasped her shoulder and gave her a gentle shake. When she didnt turn her head from John, she sat next to John gently pulled her head so she can see who is talking to her. Summer's eyes were red and puffy from crying. She looked at her and had trouble recognizing her. " Summer, it is me. Raven. Your teammate and someone who is akin to a little sister to most of us."

" Raven?" She asked.

" Yes. It is me." She said as she cupped her cheek and used a thumb to wipe away a tear.

" Why are you here?" Summer asked.

" I came for you. I still love you as my little sister. And even though I may have served most of your trust, I still came to find you and to help you." Raven replied.

" Where were you when Tai needed you?" Summer asked with both anger and sorrow.

" I was there when he passed. I was watching you as he took you to be his wife. I was there to see Yang grow. And I was there to kill those bastards that dared to take you to be a slave and rescue you." Raven explained to her.

" You are not going to leave again are you?" She asked.

" I have to. But I can stay for a bit. I actually have something for you." Raven said as she with drew a weapon box.

John set her on the bed as Raven handed it to her. She opened it carefully and saw her weapon resting in it.

" I tried to fix it up for you, but I am kind of out of my depth with something this complex. And the same thing can be said for the paint. I am sorry but I could not do anything." Raven told her sheepishly.

Summer put the weapon aside and embraced her teammate.

" I knew you would come back one day." Summer said with relief, " But you have a lot of explaining to do. And trust to rebuild."
Raven smiled as she embraced her team leader. " I will."
Summer broke the hug and turned to John who was looking up more information on the Gricks.

" I would suggest that I take you to a mental hospital. If for no other reason then to make sure the poison is out of your system and that you are in a safer location. One that you can get treatment from and talk things out." John said.

" John. She is fine. All she needs is to be with her children and love and support…" Raven started.

" I'll go. It is better to be safe than sorry. And with what I just did, it would be a good idea." Summer said getting up and moving to her dresser to start packing.

The girls got home at around twelve thirty to see a suitcase sitting at the door. All three had a questioning look as they could hear people moving around up stairs. Ruby, being the one that wanted to really see her mom, went upstairs to her mother's room. When she got there, she was surprised to see her mother, stepfather and a woman she only saw in a picture.

" Mommy? Are you going somewhere?" She asked.

All three adults turned to the young girl as Yang and Blake came up behind her. Yang looked at the other women. She squinted her eyes trying to place her. She was so familiar yet so different. It clicked when she heard the women speak.

" Uhhh John? Do you want me to stay or meet you on the way?" She asked.

" It can't be helped anymore. Might as well finish ripping the band-aid off." was all he said as the women turned to Yang.

" Yang. I am your…"
" Your my birth mother." was all Yang said as the shock took hold.

Raven nodded her head as she dropped to a knee and placed her hands on her shoulders.

" Yes I am. I am sure this is a lot to take in and that you have questions…" She was interrupted again.

" You left us. Why?" Yang asked with tears of shock, anger and sadness slid down her cheeks.

Raven took a breath. She knew that she would ask this question. But how should she answer her? For all intents and purposes, Summer was her mother and she was just doner that birthed her.

" -sigh- I did and I am sorry for that. I can't promise that you would understand the full meaning of the reasons behind the reasons. All I can say is that I felt conflicted and chose to leave the family that I worked so hard to build and to have and to love, for a family that your uncle and I were with growing up. A family that I didn't want you to be part of for a number of reasons." Raven tried to explain to her.

" Were we not enough for you? Did you even love us? Did you even care?" Yang got out between clenched teeth.

" Yang. When I left you and your father, I was confused and thought that I was not mother material. I may have married him and I think that is something that may have pushed me more to it. If he was married to me, he would not be able to do something that would destroy what we had. What I did not realize was how devastated he was. I would have never have thought that Summer would have taken his heart. When I saw that he was with Summer, I felt betrayed and broken. I know that what I did was wrong and that I deserved to be left. So don't think for a second that I don't love you. My actions may not say it, but I do. I will never not love you. You are my daughter. And I would like the chance to earn your trust and love back." Raven said to her as she cupped her cheek.

Yang looked at her trying to find any decet. When all she found was a woman who wanted to be able to reconnect with her daughter, she decided to look to her mom and to John for guidance.

John was the one to speak up. " Yang this is your call. But I know she is sorry for abandoning you and wants to make it right."

Yang thought about it for a moment before she looked back to the woman that was said to be her mother. All Yang said to her was that she had to earn it. Raven nodded and embraced with thanks.

With that out of the way, they turned to Summer who was packing a ditty bag.

" Mom? Where are you going?" Yang asked.

Summer turned to her with a teary smile.

" I am going to the hospital. I need to see a doctor about something I did while you were at school. And I am lucky that John came and saved me from what I was about to do." She said.

The three gave her a look of confusion. She kissed each girl on the forehead before John and Raven followed her to the door just as June came in for a visit.

" What is going on?" She asked.

" We will tell you when we get back. Please look after my girls." John requested.

After three weeks of tests, counseling, and medication, was Summer cleared and allowed to go home. When she stepped out of the mental hospital she was greeted with a black aggressive truck. She knew who that was before the man even got out to greet her. John opened the door and helped her with her bags before she got in and they headed for home.

" John. Can I ask you something?" Summer asked.

John gave a grunt for her to go ahead.

" Have you ever been in my situation? Being kidnapped or needing to go to a mental institute?"

" No I havent. I have had many psych evaluations during my service, and as far as being kidnapped goes, nothing really comes to mind that is similar to what you went through. The only times I can think of that I was held against my will was twice. One to retrieve ordnance from a band of rebels, the other? Well that is classified." he said to her as they got onto the highway.

" What happened? On the first one I mean." she clarified.

John waited a moment to think of how to tell her about his operation at camp New Hope and the insurrection leader Howard Graves.

" It started when the rebels contacted us saying they had explosive ordnance that they wanted to trade in exchange for doctors to treat an illness as well as the medicine…" john began. He was purposely vague on some of the details. Like the type of ordnance, the exact location, and that he switched the Covenant out with the grimm.

"...in the end, Kurt and his ' funny feelings' saved our asses." he said to her as they pulled into the driveway. " Ruby, Yang and Blake have been looking forward to having you back home. We are going to have a full house tonight. June, your mom and dad as well as Tai's folks are here to welcome you back and are happy that you made a speedy recovery." John told her.

" I am happy to be home. Oh how I missed my babies and a good home cooked meal." Summer said as she stepped out of the hog and stretched. Before she could get her baggs though, John placed a hand on her shoulder, " We are all here for you. If you need to talk, just ask. I am sure my sister would love to help you and while I am not good with giving personal advice, I can at least listen." he told her.

She looked up to him and smiled, " you know, you have the qualities of being a great husband. You have shown that you are kind yet tough and you have shown the ability to adapt. Some other aspects that would make a woman swoon over you."

John had a blank look at the compliment. She laughed as she grabbed her baggs and went into the house.

It has been a week since she got home and since then she has been looking for something to kill the boredom. She wasn't ready to get back into the field yet so she hasn't contacted Ozpin yet. She was sitting in the kitchen with a mug of coffee sitting on the table as she watched the suns rays from the kitchen. She sat at the table with a blue tank-top on with blue short shorts. She did her therapy exercises to work out any stiffness that lingered and was now just watching the sun rise.

The sound of heavy feet coming down the stairs was heard as she turned and saw John coming down the stairs. He was dressed and ready for work as he came down and went to the fridge.

She watched as he got stuff out for both breakfast and things for his lunch. He must not have noticed her because he just kept working. Only when he went to start making coffee did he realize that someone else was up. He turned and saw her sitting there with a cup of coffee.

" Summer. I was not expecting you up so early." He said.

" I got up at around four thirty to use the bathroom and just could not go back to bed." She told him.

He shrugged and got a mug down and poured. Once it was filled he offered to top hers off is she wanted it. She politely declined and set the pot back on the burner.

They sat in silence watching the growing rays of dawn melt the darkness away.

" Hey John?" Summer asked suddenly, " Do you have any openings within your company? I am not ready to get back into the field yet so I don't want to go on any hunts yet."

John looked at her and thought about it. " No, I don't have anything. But I am sure that Signal Academy is still looking for Tai's replacement. Qrow was there for a bit, but Ozpin is wanting him back in the field as well." he told her.

Teaching. That she can do. But it would be her deceased husband's class. She sighed.
" Am I a burden on you guys? I mean you are kind and all but you haven't exactly told me what my payments are for rent or anything. How can I contribute?" She asked.

" Summer. Do not think for a second that you are a burden. You are still getting your feet under you financially so I am not going to ask you to pay anything. You have been doing enough as it is. Asking for more would be wrong and selfish. I am wanting you to be sure you can handle yourself before I even think about rent. Right now you are earning your keep here with just picking up after yourself. You ask if there is something that needs to be done and you do it. Hell helping out in the garden was a bit of a shock to us. When you get a steady job and source of income, and if you still feel that way, then we can talk about rent if you want. But right now I want you to focus on yourself." John told her.

" But arnt I free loading then?" She asked.

John shrugged. " You could be. But I also know what you went through and am willing to cut you the slack you need."

They sat in silence for a bit more before Summer asked another question.

" Since the house is mostly clean, I don't have anything to do. Do you have anything for me?" She asked.

" What about your weapon? Raven handed it back to you."
She forgot about that.

" Honestly I forgot about that. But still. I am not sure I want to start that big of a project yet." She told him.

John shrugged as he made up a simple breakfast for the both of them. She thanked him as he sat down with her and ate. They talked about what he had planned for the day and in turn what she had planned. She asked if she should or would ever find love again with what happened to her and that she was now unfertail. And John's response was a simple " If you want to find a new husband, I am sure you will. If he truly loves you, it won't matter if you are able to conceive or not."

Her appreciation of the man went up with that comment.

Little feet could be heard as the girls were getting up and moving around and getting ready for the day ahead.

It was the middle of the night with a full moon. We see a headstone in a cemetery. It read Gallen Touras. A shadow can be seen standing over it as the person hummed. The sound of a zipper being undone was herd with the sound of someone taking a piss was herd.

" Ahhhh. That hits the spot. And thing is you deserve waaay more than what the Chief gave you, and that was brutal." the man said as we get a look at the person. He was wearing a pair of black boots, blue jeans and a long sleeve navy blue shirt with what looked like runes running along the left sleeve and a graphic of a robed skeleton riding a horse with a lightning bolt in one hand and a machine gun in the other. He had short black hair, green eyes with blue glasses.

He sighed as he zipped back up and looked up into the sky.

" Lord. I know you said that vengeance is yours. But I have to ask, if it is something I made, can I put them through hell? I mean you made me and knew I would do this, soooo is it cool?" the man asked.

" Normally I would tell you that yes. Vengeance is mine...but I guess I can sub-contract. You did make this and in a seance, I am judging him through you. Don't let this power go to you head ok, Red October?" A powerful voice spoke.

The Author dropped to a knee in respect.

" Yes father. I won't let you down." He said.

" Good. Now prepare for a power boost." the voice said.

A light was seen on the person.

" Thank you God. Now. Let us pass judgment on the bull we all know and hate." the Author said before looking to you guys reading this, " You ready for some real shit to go down? Get your knives or whatever it is you want to use. Me? I got an entire station set aside for this bastard. The grunt mating chambers, covenant caraoukee, living halo 2 legendary laso in underwear and a squirt gun. And last but not least, meat cleavers to the nuts."

Red October held a hand out as a ball of holy energy formed. He knelt on the grave and plunged his hand into the grave and pulled Gallen up.

Galllen looked around as he was alive again.

" What happened. Where am I?" he asked.

" You are in for the time of your life dirtbag."

Gallen looked at him. A human. A human brought him back to life.

" You should have left me. For now I am going to kill you. Slowly and very painful." Gallen said as he lunged snapping the man's neck.

" Ohhh that felt sooo good. Now. Time to kill John." he said before he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turned and saw the man he just killed.

" I don't think you fully understand what is going on here buddy." Red October said as he straightened his neck.

" What? But how?" Gallen asked.

" Did you not hear? I, as well as a few others, are going to be judging you for what you have done. And we are oh so going to enjoy it. For you see, you have much to answer for. You have murdered, raped, stole and so much much more." He said as he cracked his knuckles.

A brunet women came forward.

" You may not remember her. But she remembers you...and what your wife did to her. How you took this sweet, sweet young fourteen year old girl right off of the sidewalk. Jewel, I leave the rest up to you."

The now named Jewel slid her over robe off to reveal her in a purple tank top, black stockings, and a strap on that was beyond huge. It was long and think that a woman would think twice in taking it in and if they do, to take it slowly and only in an opening that they could take after some time of stretching it out and not in one that cant stretch.

" Do you remember this toy? You sat and watched as your wife used this on me. She didnt lube it up nor did she lube up the place she was planning on sticking it. She went in dry in two diffrent places. Sadly you only have one." She said as Gallen was suddenly bent over a box. " I was a virgin you know. So taking this not only took my virginity, but it also tore me and ripped me open. I died due to internal bleeding that she caused. And you cheered her on."

Gallen had a bad feeling about what was about to happen.

" Please have mercy." he uttered out.

" Mercy? MERCY? YOU WANT MERCY? WHERE WAS THE MERCY I AND SO MANY OTHERS ASKED AND PLEADED FOR?! No. You get no mercy. Not from me. Not from Tai. Not from Red October. And not from those who are reading this and need to lash out at something because of the things you and your men have done. You deserve worse then what the Chief gave you. And he was not pulling punches. You deserve to feel everything we felt. The humiliation, the burning, the pain. And not just once. Not twice. But for each person that died because of you. And since Red here made sure you would not die, you get to feel each one of those injuries. Not all at once, no. You feel each thing one at a time." Jewel said as she slammed forward ripping him a new one as Tai cam to his face and sucker punched him.

Tai hit Gallen a few more times before a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned and saw Red standing there.
" Tai, there is something both I and the Lord have for you. Please come this way." He said as he led Tai out of the tourter chamber and to a hallway.

" What is it?" Tai asked him.

" Tai. You are, or were, a father of two daughters. What are some of the things a father would want to witness and be present for in his daughters lives" Red asked in return.

" For me there are a few things aside from watching them grow up. I guess some of the things I would want to be there for their first date, prom, grandchildren. But the one thing that saddens me the most is that I would be missing their wedding. Seeing them happy as they go to be with someone they love. Seeing them off. Giving my baby girls to someone that would have had to work hard to earn their hands. Its- its…" he cuts himself off as he starts to cry a bit.

" Its ok to let it out. I may not have children, but I know it can be an emotional occasion. Witch is why we are going to let you experience it. Keep in mind, you may be seeing it all through John's eyes and that this takes place in an uncertain future. One where they don't leave remnant. Keep that in mind ok?"

Tai looked at the kid dumb founded. " I get to see my girls grown up? And to send them off?" he asked.

" Yes Tai. You get to." Red said as they approached the door. " I shall leave you to this private event." Red finished as he turned and left.

" OH I almost forgot. You need a suit." Red said snapping his fingers and Tail was suddenly in a suit. Tai looked himself over surprised by the sudden change. He then felt two people hug an arm. He looked to his left, and his breath hitched. Yang stood there. Her hair was long reaching her lower back, her lilac eyes were held excitement and joy as her makeup just made her features pop more. She had a warm smile on her lips as she looked at him.

" Come on dad. It is almost time." She said. Tai pulled his right arm away from what he can only assume to be Ruby, to hold Yang at arm's length. Yang was in a beautiful white dress that hugged her figger, accenting her curves in the waist and chest like a corset, and flowing past the waist. When his eyes saw her right arm, it was a prosthetic.

' She must have had a bad tusel.' he thought. In turn he pulled her in for a proper hug.

" Dad, you are acting like you haven't seen me in years." Yang said slightly complaining that he might mess her dress up.

" I am just so happy to be here and be part of your big day." He said.

Yang returned the hug and after a moment broke the hug as Tai turned to see Ruby.

She was the spitting image of Summer.

" What do you think dad? Do I look beautiful?" She asked.

Her dress was similar to Yang's but the back of her dress exposed her shoulders and back. Her hair was long but done up into a bun. Her eyes also held the happiness and joy that could only come with a bride fixing to see her groom.

" Absolutely beautiful." Tai said answering her question as he embraced her as well.
" My girls. My babys. You both look so damn beautiful that I can't help but cry." He told them.

Both Ruby and Yang embraced him again and kissed his cheek as they took his arms, and he walked them down the aisle.

That last sean is so touching. It is ok to tear up. I remember watching Courageous with a scene similar. Long story short, a father let his little girl sleep at a friends house and the next day, on the way home, the car was hit by a drunk driver killing her. The father of the girl had a vision, dream or something of seeing his little girl grown up and was fixing to be sent off. Such a beautiful, tear jerker sean. Now I modded it obviously but still. Heart warming.

Remember when I said that I hold marriage in such a high regard? Well, it is the binding of two people. Two soles in holy matrimony. If a man walks alone and stumbles, who is going to help pick him up? If a man walks with someone and stumbles, he has a friend there to pick him up. A little biblical but I think it is appropriate to help get a point across.

OK I am going to call this section : The Pub.

SO! Let's talk story. My head canon for Ravens semblance is at the top but allow me to go further in detail.

Ok I want to lay out an example, we have Summer Rose back in Beacon and some random tribesmen. Raven may know the tribesmen and as such can portal to him IF she is close to his location. The closer she is to him the better. I would say a maximum range of a few blocks. Then we got Summer back in Beacon. Raven can portal to her from anywhere in the world. Underground included. Now we take Summer as she was at the beginning and you can start to see where I am coming from. When Raven left, she hated Summer for what she did, so she tried to sever her connection with her. She partially succeeded. After all, while you can cut people out of your life, you are still going to have memories with that person. I believe that is what Raven did. If I can use an analogy, think of a steel cable. That cable is the bond Raven has to people. The thicker the cable, the stronger the bond. The thinner the cable, the weaker the bond. And if it was severed, well you can see the individual strands showing it was cut. She did try to portal to her and get her, and while Summer was still in Vale,but the drugs and a pain and everything was clouding her mind. If Raven kept her bond strong with her, then that haze or block would not have been much of a problem.

Now let's talk about Cortana. As some pointed out she could have chipped herself and searched the net. True she could have. Even with in the span of a day she could have found something. Remember she is eight going on nine years of service. The only thing keeping her together right now is her synthetic body. We all know that in halo 4 it was towards the end of the game that she somewhat lost the fight against rampancy. So this would be around the same time as the game and she is functioning perfectly. If she chipps herself, the chance of rampancy hitting her is high. Do I have a reason behind this line of thought and need to explain it? Yes and I just did. Is it just a mcguffin to keep her in a body until further notice? Yes.

I also apologize for not seeing this sooner. I fell into a trap of " I know the limitations of the charters and figured the readers to' trap. So apologies. When I get to the comments I am going to refer a number of people to this point because their a couple of people who said things along the same lines.

We got some planning by Gallen and recalling his forces to reinforce his base and they brought their hostages. We got the Chief going in with a bang and… " KKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE

It was mid-afternoon when John and his force stuck. Onyx flew the bird towards to base his daughter should be at as John stood near the drop hatch. He had weird looking propulsion system on his back that would let him jump around short distances.

John was armed with his trusted assault rifle and a pair of SMGs. A sword hilt rested on the hip part of his armor as well as a couple of knives hidden in their sheaths. Not exactly heavily armed, but he wanted to be fast, nimble and deadly.

" Onyx. I want you to stay onstation when I drop. Keep on comms and let us know what you can see from up here. But if they bring in fighters of their own, bug out." John told him.

" Yes sir. Please bring my daughter back. Make sure to bring her back." He said.

John only nodded and jumped.

He plummeted towards the base as he picked his landing spot. A skylight leading right into the middle of the base. As he dropped, he saw his forces assembling. The plan was that twenty seconds after he landed, they would assault the place. Even now he could see Maria with a lance of tanks surrounding the area. A-8 Tigers, T-39 and L5 walkers were walking or driving down the roads. How she managed to get them here is beyond him. All she said was that she had some friends that would be willing to help. He saw Mal standing right next to her. Bladed hammer resting on his shoulder.

He reorianted himself so his feet were downward right as he reached the skylight. He smashed through the glass and slammed into the ground in a crouch with dust clouding his form. Only a dark silouate is seen.

He stood as the dust settled and looked over his shoulder.

" Permission to enter the presisess?" He asked.

" AHHH! TO SEXY!" one faunas bull said as he dropped unconscious.

" AHHH! TO SEXY!" his friend said.

" AHHH! TO SEXY!" Bucky Barnes from Marvel's Captain America Civil War How It Should Have Ended yelled as he crashed his chopper right into the main base killing everybody and ending the story.

Ummm...Whaaaaaaa?

Ok I don't know how that got in thier. Well Ok then. Whare the fuck was I?
We get some snippets of Summer during the fighting and that she did use the fatal dose. John killing Gallen, and was it brutal enough? I feel it was but so much more could have happened. John getting Summer to the hospital and some shenanigans go down shortly after that.

I want to point out that while Summer was in a coma, she was reliving memories. Kind of as a way to add a bit more to the story and get some background in to her past. And we can see again my love of pilots. Oh and she got bullied because why not. Now before I go into a rant, and I will go into a rant about bullying...later. The bullying in this chapter was to help show that some people are just cruel, and if they think they look better than someone and others agree then they will torment someone that they see as weak. Did they go a bit to far with pantsing her like that? You bet your sweet ass they did. But I don't think bullys care. But it is what happens later. Summer being a late bloomer. I kind of remembered a certain line from an older Disney movie. Mulon. More specifically when Mulan and her father were sitting on a bench talking and he points out a late blossom and how he thinks that one will be the most beautiful of all when it comes in. So there you go.

Now what else was there. Oh, some more Tai and Summer moments. And yes I did bring up Ruby's conception and that it was a drunken night of passion with a wedding shortly after. Now some may note that when Summer and Qrow first saw Tai after Raven left was that Tai and Raven were going to go the neutral route with Yang by breast feeding her. My sister and brother did that and chances are, when I find the woman that is to be my significant other, we will do the same. Not really important but there has been some people that get their panyts in a wad when a woman feeds her child in public, even if she covers herself for privacy, yet are perfectly Ok with a woman wearing a shirt or dress that shows off her boobs to anyone walking by. I don't know, it just bugs me.

The entire dream sean is to get into her past a bit.

Then to the outside world, we see the girls cornering John and demanding answers and his answers being something I think he would tell them in a situation like this. Then we get James coming in and being a complete dick. Now I don't want to get into politics, that is something I refuse to do. This is a place where we go to escape from this kind of shit. No one is going to be made fun of nor am I, or anyone else if I can help it, going to bully you or tell you you suck for being on one side or the other. I am just using something I have seen on the news and am going to use it in some areas.

James's actions I took from the House Democrats. The way they won't work with someone on the other side of the isle and only look for a way to impeach the President. Weather you like him or not, you have to admit that they are kind of crazy. I don't know. But I am not going to get into anything further. Personally I hate politics. Those that choose that route should always represent the people they serve and the moment they don't, the get the boot. Oh and term limits.

Ok so with that little bit of risk out of the way, let's continue.

When Summer wakes she sees her girls and is happy, until she sees Blake. A little PTSD and calming later she gets hit with it again as Rom comes to check in on her.

A little bit of a scissor real later and she gets her cast off aaaaaannnnnd gets thrown down sorrows road for a bit where she attracts Grimm Ticks to her and she gets bit by three. Is three important? No. Ticks are just annoying and it seems when one gets on you, you feel and find more. A suicide attempt later and she comes back to the house and has some nice breakfast.

Ok so the suicide attempt. Remember way back when I said that someone may not be feeling well? Well something we all need to remember is that not everyone who smiles and says that they are fine, may not be. Depression is a silent killer. It can be in anyone and you never know when or how it would strike. It is something one should not take lightly. It is more than just saying your sad and thinking sad thoughts.

Isolating themselves, finding lack of interests in things. Depression is feeling alone in a crowd of people. Like you don't matter. Worthless. Unloveable. Their is so much more to depression that I am sure I missed. But something that, if left unchecked, could lead to someone taking their own life.

I heard a number of things from other people on the subject. When you take your life, you are putting a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The pain you feel when you take your life doesn't go away, it just migrates to those who will grieve for you. And to those who are going through a hard break up, if you take your life, that person wins.

If one suffers with depression, please, I beg of you to find someone to talk to. It is unhealthy to bottle it all up and let it stew. It will eat you alive and no one will be able to help if you don't speak up.

And before I get into the last part of the chapter, I want to go on my rant on bullying.

DONT. FUCKING. DO. IT. You don't know what that other person is going through and as such, you could be pushing them further down the road of depression. Do you want to be known as the one that pushed someone to kill themselves? I THINK NOT!

You can have a difference in opinion. No one person will think alike, other wise it would be an echo chamber and we all would be the exact same fucking person. Now there are somethings that I would call as 'off limit' topics. You know, the topics that you know will get heated? I think we all can say politics is one of those with Shipps and Halo's art style being another. There are others but those are some of the biggest I have seen in the fandoms. You can be a Bungi purist yet be friends with a 343 guy. You can talk and find common ground. Hell I am a centrist. I look for the positives in both sets and often times find some new insight in something. Try looking at Bungie needles vs 343. I see Bungie's needles to be top of the line crystals. You can see what looks like electricity running through the crystals in H2A and it looks damn cool and in Halo three, the quills are glowing pink like they are a damn light bulb. 343s take makes me think that Juls covenant are scraping the bottom of the barrel for ammo. See how the quills look to be made of a glowing bone? Its older ammo. See? I just made a story for ammo change.

You can be friends with people who may challenge your thinking and that is a good thing. It is just those that are on the extreme side of things, that things get messy. Those are the people you want to avoid.

Now let's talk about the last thing we see. Gallen is brought back from the dead? I can see people's reaction now.

" WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Oh but you see dear reader, he is still dead, but he still needs to be punished. So using Darkside's multidimensional thing where the individual dies for eternity in different dimensions, you yes you get to kill him any way you see fit. So have fun. Get your revenge. Drop a nuke on him or better yet, shove it dry up his ass.

Ok so onto some IRL…. RWBY V7 IS HERE! And PENNY! I was not sure how I felt about her return at first but she was brought back in a believable way, unlike a certain AI in a Halo game that we all don't really care to revisit. Cough cough Halo 5 Guardians cough cough. Although I think they could have waited an episode or two and teased her a little bit and have her not remember Ruby at first. Could have been better but I still find it enjoyable to watch. Also Penny's charge hug and tackle was just as cute as ever.

Oh man. Seeing Atlas and Mantel? It kind of broke some head canon but I am pleasantly surprised by how showed things. The rich literally looking down on the poor? Brilyant. It had that look of Alita Battle Angel and damn it was just so great to see.

Oh and they had saber tooth cats in the first episode.

Hmmmm. I just want to point out that I came up with the idea first while season 6 was still going on. Ok I might not have been the first one to have a Saber tooth Tiger come up in a story. But still.

Is there anything else I need to address? Oh Halo is getting a TV show...and it is falling into a couple pits. The first is it breaks cannon. I can stand some cannon breaking if it is small and not important. But this? NOOO! Both Maranda and Jacob Keys are black? A human is in the covenant? Maranda is also a scientist? WHAT?

Look. I don't care if someone is black or not, but it you are going to take established well loved charters and swap their gender or the color of their skin? That is not diversity. That is pandering and washing things to fit a narrative. Here is an idea, why not make a new charter that fits what you need. But what do you expect from today's day and age. Raaahhhhhhhh. My only question is how are they going to bash the current administration. Weather you like Trump or not, there's only so much we can take before we just vomit and want to go back in time to better times.

I am so sick of seeing and hearing something that could be good, but gets bogged down with " Straight white male bad. Orange man bad. Women are just as strong as men. Women are oppressed" bull shit. Can we just go back to good God damn stories that are interesting and does not rely on SJW talking points and buzz words? Why do you think all of these remakes of classic movies but with an all female cast don't do well? It is because they take a well beloved movie, take any and all sole it had, and rip it out and shove identity politics into it with an all female cast and the one male character in it, is never listened to and just there to be made fun of. Look at 2016 GhostBusters. An all female remake of an original and it flopped.

Look I am sorry for getting political in this last section. It's just that I am so sick of getting things crammed down my throat and getting told that I am a horrible person because of the color of my skin, what gender I was born and my sexuality. Straight. White. Male. Oh and through in Christan as well. I might as well be Satan's personal minyoun. If you base your opinion of someone on their skin and gender instead of their charter, isn't that being racist and sexist? I don't know. You guys tell me. Thank you guys for letting me vent and rant. I feel much better.

OK so onto reviews! Before I start, I need to say one thing. A few of the reviewers have pretty much the same comment so I am just going to refrance you to The Pub section up top because I don't feel like saying the exact same thing over and over again. Sound fair enough to you guys?

sleipnir34

Really hope the next chapters has all those supremacists die, and maybe cortana has a memory erasing procedure for summer.

Well, for the most part, they are all gone. Only two are left. Gallen's wife Lilyath and his son Adam. Adam is going to hate both John and the MasterChief because of obvious reasons. He is going to be the same asshole we all know and hate. And as to your question about a memory wipe, that is a negative. I don't believe the UNSC have that kind of technology and also that is going to help play a role in Summer's pychee. Think about it this way, if you got into a sticky situation and came out alive like she did, as much as you would want to forget it, does help define your future. Learn from the past, so you can act in the present for a better future.

And even if one can't move past it, others can. Isn't that what history is all about?

Nice talking to you.

kokugatsu

you you that was cruel and mean and terrible. I mean it's done in a perfect way just why. I shall say no more no spoilers in the reviews

I thank you for the review. I am not sure what part you are saying is cruel. What all happened to Summer, or the cliffhanger...or both.

Well let's start with Summer. I had to split her and Tai up somehow and I am not big on Tai cheating on her just for that to happen. In the show we see that Tai would not even think about crossing that line. So that left a death. Now it could have been an accident or a mission death, but I read another fic that kind of stayed in my frontal lobe. It was an AU where Yang and Ruby were Faunas and their place was wrecked. I drew inspiration from that. They got to witness their dad die and mom get graped ( yes I changed it. I just don't feel comfortable saying the word. Need a bath in acid other wise ). Now believe it or not it is going to kind of play a role in the next book and it's going to have its pressances. Such as every new guy Summer meets, she is not going to be her normal self. She is going to shy away and even shake if she isn't with someone she trusts. This chapter should prove that.

Next the cliff hanger. Uhh it was getting too long and I needed to end it somewhere. Plus I wanted people to hold on to that rage so they can start getting their tourter chambers ready. I hope that answers everything. Just as a side note, I am not a cruel person. I consider myself a teddy bear. I just remember hearing a phrase. If you are going to show grustoutas, Graphic things, make it serve a purpose. If you want to get a better feel for what I mean then I suggest watching The Act Man's review of COD World At War. I don't really play COD, not a real fan. Just something to watch.

The Qrow

Ruby and Yangs fathers name is Tai, not Tyi, Tie, Tya or any of the other attempts you made. Miiiiight want to fix that ASAP.

Someone from an advanced civilization wouldn't say that Grimm are creatures of darkness like that. They should show some scepticism and quite possibly some arrogance. They would also refer to dust as some form of foregin energy source that reacts in unnatural ways and needs researching.

Building a house? C'mon! No. If anything he would live in an abandoned one or make a shelter while he attempts to reach out to the UNSC or something.

Probably more errors in this chapter but at this point you lost me I'm afraid. Qrow out!

Yeaaaaa. I realized that after Chapter 2. I didn't realize the mistake even while looking at his Bio. Yea I was not exactly paying attention. Weather or not I will fix it… I am not sure. I like to see the progress I have made.

I can see what you mean, but this is a planet with an alien population of both Human and a new race of Human Animal hybrid. When Cortana was looking things over, she kind of just read it. So when she got to the grimm, she got not only pictures and other documents and video of said creatures, they may be cheap and easy for them, but again the grimm have been doing what grimm do since forever.

And Yes. He built a house. I like to build shit and if you think about it, if he builds it, he can add all sorts of hidden goodies. I am sure you know what I am thinking of. Any and all things can fit guns. The oven? Hidden guns. Laundry room? A bazooka is hidden behind the washer. The damn fryer? Grenades...Ok maybe not them but you get the point. And while I can see what you mean by contacting the UNSC, he and Cortana have no idea where in the galaxy they are nor does the Dawn have the comm equipment anymore. Comm dishes and antennas have been slagged.
Also you were on CH 1. I even said at the very beginning that this is my first story and to expect errors. I am sorry to see you go because I am sure you would enjoy what I put out but chances are you're not even reading this. If you are then I hope I still got your business and hope to see you here again.

I would highly recommend watching Installation00 videos on youtube more specifically his Most Detailed Breakdown - Spartan-II Augmentations video and Most Detailed Breakdown - MJOLNIR MARK-VI and Halo - Spartan Capabilities - Lore and Theory. the fact that he only has 23k subs on his youtube channel doesn't do his videos justice because there good.

yes I agree with the guest "Raven's Semblance allows her to create portals to instantly travel to people she has bonded with " well that's what the rwby wiki says.

They obviously would have bonded when they were still a team.

Unless what they meant by bonded is who had sex with which will be weird because it says on the rwby wiki that she bonded with Tai , yang , and Qrow so unless she had sex with her child and her brother then I don't know, technically you can say she did bonded with yang when yang was still in her and bonded with her brother when they were still in their mother because their twins but I don't know.

Range not an excuse because raven was shown to make portals between different continents. you would have to debuff raven's Semblance because if chief found out that she could have made a portal to Summer he would pissed off, all that time wasted when she could have had just made a portal to her.

I also agree Knighthunter911700 it shouldn't taken 2 years to find her because one small mistake and they could have found the main base for example in real life 4chan manage to find the location of a isis training camp from a video, that isis posted online and then the russians were called then they called in an airstrike on their location.

Okay...so I combined you comments into one. Just way easier.

Installation 00, really good chanel and I recommend it to anyone. A real chill guy and insanely detailed in his stuff.

So with that done, we already talked about this in PM but just because, Go to The Pub. But you do bring up a good point that I will talk about here.

That being Raven needing to have sexual relations with said people to form a bond. Now you have come up with some great head cannon stuff that can easily compete with what I was thinking. Bonding with Qrow because they are twins and shared a womb, Yang because Raven gave birth to her, Tai is an obvious reason. That just leaves Summer. I can't, to save the life of me see Raven going up to her and being like " Hey Summ, you know I can make a portal to people I bond with right? Well in order to have that bond I need to bone them. So drop your skirt and assume the position." As funny as that would be, I can't see it.

I will be getting to Knighthunter911700 in a few, and normally I would agree, everything is mostly just a mcguffin to add more. Again we talked about it but the kind of damage I am looking for would not occur if she was held for a couple of months. I kind of had these guys smart. Not posting anything that can be traced back to them or their location. Everything was word to ear or done on burner stuff. A low profile..but one big enough to get followers all over Vale.

I hope to hear more from you in the next round.

Wolf

I hope Master chief Brutally murders Gallen because he deserves it for doing that to summer and I also please don't delay the rescue of summer any longer it was hard enough reading those scenes of summer being used and im pretty sure other readers will agree with me I understand it's for story purposes but still it was very difficult to read without lashing out.

Ohhhh you are not the only one. And you tell me, was brutal enough? If not, well he is in Darksides thingummyjig. Go nuts.

Knighthunter911700

Also ship 'spartan rose' a broken human with a broken machine would make an interesting story

This chapter is amazing because this perfectly shows how twisted the RWBY universe should by as dark organisations are able to operate freely.

My only problem is that why did Cortana use UNSC drones to search the planet or hack security cameras to find summer.

My point is I don't think a spartan 2 Cammando and an SMART AI such as Cortana would take 1.2 years to find her, I believe it would have taken 6 months. As Spartans 2 were trained in basics of ONI training and Cortana would have the money and technology to find the group that took Summer.

I again had to combine your two comments easier to handle.

I know right. This time period is full of potential for stories. Hell replace Summer with Raven even and it still would be interesting. I would really love to see more fics take place here instead of the period of the show. Hell go even further back if you want. I have a very loose idea of a Forerunner or Ancient Human being trapped on Remnant or something. Ahhhh a different story for another time.

Ok so again I am going to refer you to The Pub. While in her body, she can do all the cool shit she could do while chipped. She would have to pull up a comm pad to get the feeds and all with three girls with her. Nothing she couldn't handle but again I am looking for the damage and the hell she is going to go through to get her life back in order. Thus the long wait. And the Bulls were just a throw away group that once they served their purpose, is not really going to be used again. They kept a low profile and hide in plain sight. Yes you are right that John could easly find them, but with running Dawn Enterprises, looking after three girls, keeping track of June, Ironwood gunning for him as well as Jauqes fuck face Shnee, he kind of has his hands full. Again he could handle it, but I just wanted to keep him busey.

Guest

Finding summer should not take nearly 2 fucking year raven can juste portal up to here not to be an ass but in think you should do a redo on chapter 6

Check The Pub and even some of the other responses man. Somethings may become clear. And if not… ask away.

minecraft93

never mind dovah 117 message me said he was talking about the ship between summer and chief. any ways how long will it take to repair the forward untill dawn.

nice chapter also what dovah117 meant by the ship being done is how long would it take for the forward untill dawn to be fully repaired.

Again a combo…

Ummmm….OK? I believe you are just letting me know what another person was trying to say. Soo umm what do you want me to say here? I am not sure…. I am going for a Pizza now.

dovah117

The SummerXJohn ship! Thats what Im talking about! God I feel dirty because in some parts of Summer torture I was turned on! If you excuse me Im going to take and acid bath and pray to The Traveler that after the bath I feel more clean*An acid bath later* Ah much better! ...I think, also Papa!Chief!, that was something that didn't expected this earlier, but that cool! And talking about the Chief...sooo those Bulls are fucked arent them?, can I join in? I have prepared an arsenal for that* points to Last Word, Thorn, The Thruth, 1K Voices, Bad Juju, The Wisper of The Worm, Outbreak Perfected, Gjallarhorn, The Yamato and a BFG 9000!* also will Chief be taken by The Doomslayer again? Because that would be awesome as hell!...that was a REALLY bad pun. And I know your pain of grinding that armor, but at leasth Im prepared to go back to the Moon? And you? See you in the next Carna-I mean Chapther! Also you answered my question about the Covenant? But what about The UNSC? Or the Fourerunners? And you said something about books, this being Book 1 I guess? Book 2 will be the RWBY show?

Yup John and Summer are shipped. The boat is in the water, just need the passengers and then SpartanRose will set sail...and no it is not a dingy like what you would see in the shipp fan arts. You know what I am talking about right? Any ship that the artist is into is seen in wooden boats with some looking out into the waves and others nowhere to be seen but you can clearly see hearts? Ok, Spartan Rose, like RenNora is a fucking battleship. So yea, SpartanRose and LuckyRose ( John and Ruby ) are my favorite crossover shipps and as such are battleship class. Anything else is sunk.

I feel you in feeling dirty. I felt dirty writing it. Now I do want to say one thing. If done correctly, then the acts are fine. Let me explain what I mean. I have said it often enough that one know where I am going with this but, if these are done within the confines of marriage and is consensual, then go for it. Now does that mean I personally approve of such acts being done in marriage, not all of them. Getting ganged or even consensual cheating are a big fat no for me. I know some spouses like to know that the other is getting laid by others or even treated like shit while they do it, even right in front of them, but not me. I am not the kind of guy who would like to get cucked like that. But their are some who do. Some say it feels good to ' Reclaim their other'. The only way I would let another man in the bedroom to bang my wife, is if she wanted to get double teamed and if she agrees to the other way around down the line.

So moving away from that, lets go to the BDSM parts. whips, paddles and riding crops, cuffs and other stuff. If that is you, have at it.

The horse...HELL FUCKING NO! KILL IT WITH FIRE AND HOLY WATER!

Again a lot of that is just my opinions and quirks. We are all allowed to have our kinks.

So I know what you mean. It's the fact that she was kidnapped, drugged and was forced into it that is disgusting. So yes go take your acid bath if you feel dirty.

Just keep in mind that Papa Chief still has one more child to get yet. And hey, I wanted him to adopt Blake and then later Yang and Ruby. And while it may be early in the story, he took them in what a year later if I remember right.

Your question on getting possessed by our favorite demon slayer, well this chapter should answer your question for this chapter. He will use it again. I am not sure if he will again in this story or in the next one. For you see, when he did get that little power boost, it was just a piece of the slayers power. The slayer was just chillin in his crypt when he felt a disturbance in the force and kind of forced ghosted his way to see what was going on, saw John's rage and anger building and was just like " here you go buddy. Have a blast. Make me proud."

While you couldn't join in on the slaughter, I do invite you to enter one of Darksides thingamajigs and do what you will with Gallen. I currently have him in a hell that I shall not talk about to preserve any and all sanity… and to spare anyone from feeling the pain he is about to go through. Belive me, if you are a dude, it will fucking hurt. Also, that is a nice arsenal, but you are leaving out a couple. Mainly the GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon. If you can guess where this gun is from, you get a cooke. If you can do so without looking it up, you get the entire batch. It is one of my loves and even I can't remember the name of this gun. This thing fires 30x173mm rounds at 2100-4200 of depleted uranium rounds per minute. Let that sink in and take a guess. And the next chapter I will talk your ear off about this thing and why I love it.

Now I have to ask, what did you think of the expancion? I thought it was a cool concept but why was the raid vex and not hive? Wasn't the entire expancion about the horrors of the great disaster and the hive? Or here is an idea, how about the raid takes place inside the pyramid with you needing to fight the nightmares. And speaking of nightmares, where is Oryx? Or how about Axis and Athyon? Or what about Xol and Nocris, what about penoptys and the rest of the barrens? I was really looking forward to Yeeeeting them into oblivion again with my Majestic Eagle armor. So to not to saddens me. Ohhh well.

Ok so the UNSC and the Forerunners. The UNSC is a negative. The Forerunners are more plossible because reasons but I am not 100% sure. They might. Might being the key word. But if we really want to get weird, the Precursors or Ancient Humans.

And to your question about books. Book two is actually going to take place in a different universe. What that universe is and how they get their? Stay tuned. We will get their evenully. We will be going through the show...sort of. We will get snippets of V1-3 for sure, as for 4-6? Up in the air. I might do the first part of season 1 where Ruby is accepted into beacon early with her sisters and all of them sleeping together like they did when they were children and not have as much bickering like we saw in the show.

My plan as far as book two is this, it picks up right where this book ends. I don't want to say this book ends on a cliffhanger buuuut there's not another word that describes 'leaving you with an open ending until the next one'.

Hope that answers your questions. This has been one of the most enjoyable responses i had to make.

Holy shit that was a lot of typing. So I had a lot from up top and I need to apologise again for some of the topics I brought up. I had to vent and unfortunately with a lot of the news that I got from HiddenXperia about the Halo TV show that is supposed to respect the cannon, but race swapps two well established charters, make one a scientist, and have a human in the covenant when the covenant are wanting to kill all humans.

" hey truth."
" Yes Mercy"
" You know that we are supposed to kill humanity because otherwise the great journey is a lie, right?"
" yes?"
" Lets adopt a human for no reason other than because the writers want us to and to possibly push some sort of narrative that people are getting sick of seeing and have crammed down their throats."
" BRILLIANT! Let us find this small child and jeopardise the covenant."

Yes you can see why I am worried about this. Hopefully we can make a loud enough ruckas to catch their attention and start changing some things in the script. I want to watch and love this show, but if it takes the route of the CW and other shows, I have my doubts that it would do well. I am sick of being told that I am a bad person because I have 'privilege'. I don't know what people they see on a daily basis, but I don't have a white or man card that just gives me shit or makes it easier for me to do anything. So if there is a card for those, let me know so I can get mine. I could easily use it to start fixing things up here at home.

If you want to see what it is I am talking about, check his video out. And before anyone calls me anything along the lines of racist, I haven't seen any of the actor or actress, but I will never take away the hard work that goes into projects like making a show or movie. I will never take away someone's passion and work into a project.

But with all of that, I have one last thing I need to say and then I am going to sign off. That being the next story I will work on. You all have said what all you would like to see next and that the next story is…

Oly Oly Oxen Free with 3 votes and Red Like Spartans with 1.

Oh, and the vehicle cameos, they are from BattleField 2142. The tiger is a tank ( also could be seen in WW2. But that was a different style of tank.) and the others are two different styles of walkers. Also I am going to try to put out two chapters in A Noble Rose before come back to this one as to ballance out the fact that I did two chapters in a row. I want to make sure the people who really like that story feel some love. And before I sighn off, I want to give a big shout out to Spartan-626 for looking this over and brain storming with me on this one. So thank you man. I really apreceate the help.

So my fellow readers, Fly Fast, Check six, and I will see you on the virtual battlefield.
