Here's chapter 106, everyone.

"Are you sure you're ready to leave?" Blake asked the white haired teen, who simply nodded as she looked over her shoulder at the tied up Relentless member.

Weiss made a mental note of what they looked like, and she took a breath after turning around. "This isn't our fight anymore, so I think I'll take their advice on going home if you don't mind."

Blake felt bad for the girl, having learned that she was not only born as an animal, but that there was an entire group of people hunting her kind. "Okay, but… Are you okay?"

"Honestly? No, but I can't exactly sit around and wait for what other horrible thing could happen." Weiss said in a somber tone, while Ruby and Yang were still talking with Torn about a few things. "Klein… I just thought about him."

"Do you think he knows?" Blake wondered.

Weiss bit her lip, thinking about the possibility of Klein knowing all that there was to her, so she looked towards the airship with a frown. "Part of me hopes so… And the other part doesn't."

Blake placed a hand on Weiss' shoulder. "Don't think about how he'd react if he didn't know. From how you ran to him when he showed up, I can tell you care a lot about him, so he won't judge you for, well, your heritage."

Heritage. It was the word that made Weiss believe she was taking up a fake persona to live out her life without fear now that she knows what her kind deals with. "I don't know. Heritage… I can't say I'm able to claim that. What am I really at this point if I never knew what I-."

"Weiss, you're not a what. I overheard what that one man said." Blake was referring to how Torn told Weiss not to call herself an it. "And look at me," She wiggled her cat ears under her bow. "I hide, but that doesn't mean I can't be who I am."

While her words were true, it just wasn't the same to Weiss. Having to hide because others tell you to was different in her eyes. She had no idea that she was Hidden, and even with the knowledge, she was going to hide even more so.

"Our reasons are different though…" Weiss reminded.

"Weiss, think about what you just said. You're," Blake whispered the next part. "Hiding, because you're trying to stay safe and not end up becoming hunted by those people. I'm hiding because I'm just… A coward, but this isn't about me. Right now you need to just take your mind off this and like you said, take their advice."

"Okay." Weiss couldn't say much else, knowing that Blake was right, and how she was hiding for a good reason. After waiting on Ruby and Yang to walk over, Weiss noticed that the blonde brawler wasn't looking very happy. "Yang, we don't need to worry about this anymore… It's done."

Yang wasn't exactly about to cool off from that, as she crossed her arms. "It's not about worrying. These guys shouldn't have been here in the first place. They're the ones that pretty much brought over that lunatic."

Ruby frowned, since she wasn't as upset with Torn and Nel, since the two were still injured, and they had no idea that all of them would be there in the first place.

"I already told you, it's done, Yang. So please can you just walk back to the airship with us…" Weiss pleaded, not wanting the blonde to start something for no reason.

"Fine." Yang walked past Weiss, and Blake noticed how upset she looked, more so in a saddened way than an angered one, so she started following her back to the airship.

Weiss sighed, and Ruby walked over, rubbing her shoulder as she gave her an encouraging smile. "Hey, it's all gonna okay now. She's going to, well, I hope jail, and we can just keep on becoming awesome huntresses together!"

She knew her girlfriend was trying to cheer her up, and it worked, since she still kept her dream of becoming a huntress alive. "I suppose I should remember that more often."

"Yup! Oh, hold on for a second." Ruby ran over to Nora and Ren, both sitting at the doorway of one of the homes. It was a significant home, but the two just needed to take a moment to take in their old home. "Hey, um… I just really wanted to say I'm sorry for all of this happening."

Both Ren and Nora looked confused by that, since Ruby hadn't caused any problem to begin with. "What are you apologizing for though?" Ren asked.

"It's just that a lot happened, and I was so focused on Weiss, when I should've thought about everyone just as much… We came here so you two could visit this place again, and even clean it up a bit, and maybe if I was more focused, I could've helped deal with that woman faster and nothing would've been broken down more." Ruby explained.

Nora chuckled a little, waving her off. "Sheesh, don't be so ridiculous. If anything, I'm the one with the explosives, so it's kinda on me, and besides," She glanced around, letting out a somber laugh. "It's not like it looks any different."

Ruby frowned at how she said that. "W-We can… Maybe-."

Ren shook his head. "Ruby it's okay, really. You all did a lot, and getting as far away from that woman is the number one priority." He got up from where he sat. "We got a lot of time, both of us… Thank you for coming with us all the way here." He gave a respectful and grateful bow to the rose girl.

Nora jumped up and bowed as well, while sticking her tongue out in a way to tease Ren. "Hehe, he likes to be all formal about this stuff." After she said that, Ren groaned a bit and lifted his head up, giving an unamused look towards the orange haired girl, who couldn't hold back her giggling at how he reacted.

Ruby was happy to see that the two of them were doing okay, even after the fighting against Mia had caused a little bit more damage to the town.

Since everyone was set to go back, they all made their way to the airship, while Nel watched them leave. "It's for the best, getting them to leave. No reason to let this idiot get them in the crossfire."

Torn decided to use his semblance at that point. "I think it would be best to speak with my semblance. This woman could have a communication device on her."

"Eh, good point I guess, but what would we even say that… Oh, right, the pup. You said something about her mom, so what's that about exactly?" Nel questioned.

"Lazuria, an old friend who only speaks with me when she isn't running after taking a Relentless down would mention a daughter, a white wolf, and you know how rare they are." Torn sighed. "Sadly Lazuria is still on the run to this day, and with her having to abandon her child, it was that much harder on her."

"Damn, that's not exactly the best story you've told me, but I guess I can't call that one a story, even if we are considered fairy tales." Nel commented. "Well, I doubt she'd see her any time soon then."

"It's hard to keep what I've learned today from the next time I see her, but I made a promise to the pup." Torn said, still wishing he could help Lazuria.

"You can't exactly help everyone you come across, you old bird. Besides, I can tell that kid will want more answers. She'll ask about her mom at one point, just gotta keep that promise and meet up with her one day." Nel replied as she started dragging the tied up woman. "Now come on, gotta get this one locked up so Vess can deal with her."

Torn said nothing else and begin to follow after he changed into a smaller version of his animal form.

Pyrrha and Jaune ran over when they saw the group was finally coming over. "Guys! What happened down there?! All I saw was a woman on top of a pillar…" Jaune was a little more concerned, but only because he felt bad for not helping as much as he wanted to.

Yang sighed and crossed her arms. "A lot of bullshit that we really can't talk about right now, Jaune. Let's just get the hell away from here already." She made a quick glance over at Weiss, and she bit her lip when she saw her frowning.

"I'm sorry, Ice Wolf… I shouldn't have messed with that Nel chick… At least then you'd be smiling..."

Jaune and Pyrrha weren't exactly content with that answer, and he shook his head. "Wait, hold on for a second. Look, I know you guys were in a fight and all, but I think we should at least know what happened before just leaving."

Pyrrha spoke up next. "Jaune is right. I'd like to know what was endangering everyone before we return to Beacon. The only person I saw down there-."

"Was a murderer." Weiss said, interrupting the red haired huntress in training, and both Jaune and Pyrrha looked to her. "Yang is right, there is a lot to talk about, and right now the best thing to do is distance ourselves from her."

"D-Did she kill someone down there? Are there even people down there to begin with?" Jaune couldn't help but ask more questions.

Instead of answering, Weiss walked over to the door to the airship, pressing a button near it to open the door and she simply walked inside, as Klein gasped and ran up to her, embracing the white haired teen in a hug, but before the others could walk in as well, Ruby closed the door.

"Jaune, right now Weiss isn't in the best situation to answer a lot of questions… I can though, so if you guys wanna go inside-." Before Ruby could finish, Blake spoke up.

"I think it's best to give her a few minutes." Blake suggested, and Yang nodded in agreement.

Pyrrha's expression on her face showed even more concern at that point. "What does that person I shot have to do with Weiss? She said she was a murderer, right?"

Ruby nodded. "She didn't kill anyone down there, but she was close to. Two people, a man and a woman, were both attacked by that woman you shot… OH! I forgot to say, thanks for hitting her with that. I had a feeling it was you, Pyrrha." She gave her a smile.

"Jaune was keeping an eye out for the best time to shoot, so I simply did what I had to… And I'm just glad you're all okay, but still, you said she was a murderer, but hadn't killed anyone down there." Pyrrha said in a bit of a confused tone.

Yang spoke up after she lowered her arms. "Apparently that woman is part of a group of murderers, who… Who hunt down people that have the same…" She couldn't say the rest, and Ruby placed her hand on her sister's shoulder, giving her a smile that showed she would handle telling them.

"The people we met that were attacked can do what Weiss does… But we learned a lot that none of us ever thought was possible." Ruby started explaining, while Jaune and Pyrrha stayed silent to listen. "Apparently out in the world, there's animals that… Well, they can kinda become people, or, I guess not kinda. They can become people, humans, and that's the people that the group that woman is apart of hunts."

Jaune and Pyrrha were shocked by the information given to them. "H-Hunting people? Animals turning into humans? Ruby, what are you talking about?"

"I'm trying to explain that, Jaune." Ruby took a breath. "I don't know everything, but animals can become humans… I'm not sure how many, but the man down there said there aren't a lot on the planet."

Pyrrha was still unsure of what Ruby was telling her. "But Weiss can become a wolf with her semblance, so maybe that's what it is."

Blake chose to help her team leader. "Weiss still has her glyphs, her real semblance. The power to become a wolf, it's actually the power to become human."

Jaune was dumbfounded, and shook his head a bunch. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, no way. You can't just say that Weiss is just some sort of animal. She's clearly-."

Yang flared up, as her body had flames around it. "No one is calling her that! So just shut up and listen! She was born as a wolf, but she can become human. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing is gonna change because of it, so get the hell in the airship and-." She felt Blake grab her arm, and she looked into the cat Faunus' eyes, which showed off a worried look in them, so Yang slowly calmed down and pulled away from her, choosing to walk away to be alone for a bit.

The others were taken aback by the sudden anger that Yang showed, and while Ruby was about to go after her, Blake held her arm out to stop her, giving her a look that showed she'd go talk with Yang.

After Blake started running over to catch up, Jaune looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry if I said something wrong…"

"You didn't." Ruby assured. "Trust me, all of us couldn't believe it either, but… Yang was right, we aren't letting this change anything… So please, I really want you all to promise that it won't."

Ren and Nora instantly nodded, seeing as the two were down there to begin with, while Pyrrha let out an assuring smile. "There's nothing to change whatsoever, Ruby. Though I do hope you'd be able to answer a few more questions back at Beacon."

"I'll do my best to answer them." Ruby promised.

Jaune rubbed the back of his head while looking towards the airship. "Yeah, I promise nothing will change… I just hope she's okay."

I wonder if you guys are picking up on this idea I'm working on, since again, most of this is go with the flow, so I tend to act on ideas that pop into my head.

To JJ- I try my best to work on using the characters that are around, so I'm glad you're enjoying the spotlight on some of them. And yes, that was a nice moment for Weiss to drop the mic. Hoping you'll like this new idea I'm working on in the story.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 106. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 107.
