Weiss was always at her best. She decided to go through this path of being a huntress, not only due to her older sister she admired. But also because she wanted to have her own path instead of being told what to do by her father. Upon learning she had skill, she set this out. Of course, not without a few trials and errors.
Yet what got to her more? Wasn't just her father… it was one of her teammates and 'allies'.
'Ruby, Cody…' she thought as she crossed her arms.
With her so-called 'partner', Weiss couldn't believe she was the leader. She was still a child! Skipping ahead two grades was one thing, but her attitude, carefree nature and just… overall childness made it infuriating for her! How could this girl be like this?
However that did not compare to the confusion and contempt she had for the son of Belial. At first, she thought he too was like Ruby. Skipping a few grades and giving off a feeling that he shouldn't be here. But upon learning his 'secret'? While her view of him did somewhat change, she still feels infuriated with him.
He barely has any real combat training or experience. Yet here he was, catching up and maybe already passing them all! This was just unheard of and it made her upset. She worked hard to get here, yet these two are easily passing her with ease! Just… why? Why was she being the one on the backburner of this?
(Insert Opening - Heroes - Ryota Fujimaki - Zero and Geed Chronicles)
A short, acoustic guitar begins to play, as images of Remnant, Ultraman, Huntsmen/Huntresses, and the Ultra/Kaiju Capsules begins to appear one by one, quickly as more instrumentals chime in.
[Hikari no naka de, Yami ga umarete, Ookiku hakari wo, Kuzushiteshimau toki]
It then shows Cody waking up, surrounded by a ruined city and galaxy as the young teen stood up, confused and wondering where he was as he looks around.
As he stayed there a faint whisper in his ear made him turn around, to only see Belial for a moment there, forcing him awake from his dream to reveal the people of Beacom Academy, with Ruby holding her hand out to him, before cutting away to the title card.
[Yamiyo ni sakebi, Chi wo hau monotachi, Machi wa kirisakare, Kizuna wa tatareru]
After the title vanishes the teen smiles as he tries to reach out before the bright colored field cracks and shatters, revealing that of Salem and the rest of her pawns behind her as the shadows of the Kaiju and Ultra Capsules followed by Belial as it's dangerous shadow loomed over him.
Cody, now scared, was about to back up until he felt Ruby's hand against him. Calming him down as he held up his Geed Riser before pressing on it and forming Geed, as it then charged into battle against the threat.
[Zero ni naru kakugo wa aru ka, Shimei wo eranda senshitachi]
It then looms over Cody, sitting in an alley as rain pours down on him hard. The young teen looking at the ground softly before he glances at his Ultra Capsules as Zero soon appears nearby before he then closes his eyes.
The screen then pans away and towards Ruby as she sits there on top of the building, the young teen glancing down to where Yang stood there, the young teen sighing softly with a smile before she jumped off and landed near her sister while Weiss just sighs heavily in the background.
[Machi wa kirisakare, Kizuna wa tatareru]
The screens then gains static as Blake stands there with Adam, growling in disgust of how the humans of this world are, causing him to turn to be greeted with Roman and the rest of the White Fang along with some tech before the group looked up to be greeted by several Kaiju summoned by Fukuide Kei. And while they stand there, Belial grins from his dimension as he plans his attack.
[Sakete wa toorenu tatakai e, Hikari wo obite]
Back at Beacon, Cody begins to walk around before the same colorful field surrounds him, causing him to look around to see Team Rwby and JNPR among others walking around him before they vanish into darkness, leaving the teen there. As the color fades off and shatters once more, the young teen floats around in space, only seeing death and destruction caused by Belial as the teens beings look down, only for Cody to see Kei using the systems in Remnant to cause chaos.
[Mae e mae e mae e...]
Cody called out to Ruby as he rushed ahead, being bombarded by the energy and darkness that the being is emitting as it pushes him away. The young girl also notices as she reaches out for him as he does the same, trying to take their hands before they grasp and a bright light where Geed Royal Mega Master stands there tall.
[Susume bokura no hero... Asahi ni inori akatsuki ni chikau]
Ultraman Geed then begins to battle against the Grimm along with the Kaiju, Belial Fusions and Belial himself as Zero backs him up. The two fight to save lives as Team RWBY and JNPR fight alongside them on the ground, dealing with the White Fang and Grimm as Cinder and Salem blast some darkness at the group.
[Heiwa no kane wo..., Narase hero...]
Geed then changes into its several Ultra Fusions, dealing with the Belial Fusions along with the teams as Ultraman Zero Beyond joins in the fray to help their comrades. They soon fight as a silhouette of Ultimate Finale stood behind Geed softly before fading away.
[Bokura wa anata kara, Hontou no yuki o shiru]
Geed and RWBY then team up to deal with Salem and Belial as the two duke it out over one another, with Geed dealing with Belial that has erased countless planets to Ruby unlocking her hidden power as their next attacks shatter reality.
[Tataeyo our hero, Tataeyo our hero~]
Cody then opens his eyes, showing himself now on the campus grounds, with his capsules in hand and Ruby nearby as he notices his friends now there, smiling at him. It brought a smile to the young teen's face as he looks back up to see a rainbow over them all before the title reveals one last time.
"So, Zero-san, what exactly is Earth like?"
It wasn't that long ever since Jaune was cleared of his crimes and Ruby, always curious, decided to ask the Ultraman living within the blonde huntsman at the moment a question that had been on her mind after seeing the footage of the past Ultramen in action.
"Yeah, I've been kind of wondering that myself actually" Cody admitted, "What exactly is Earth? Why does most of the Ultraman footage we've seen so far happen on that one planet?"
"Hehe, well, you could say, it's like another Remnant? Only difference? No Grimm and no Faunus, but tons of aliens and kaiju." Zero-Jaune said, as he took over briefly, "Well, that's how most of the Earths I've seen are. I guess jumping from dimension to dimension does tend to mix up details"
"Sounds like some paradise…" Blake said, with a hint of annoyance and disappointment.
"Maybe so. But it too has its own problems. Though, while some of the tech you all have here is very advanced, I've seen a lot of other worlds with way better tech. No offense of course." Zero-Jaune noted.
"It must be great that the Ultramen have a second home there" Cody noted, "Makes me wish I lived there…"
"Maybe one day, I can take you there? Unless you do something stupid, like fighting a Button, and it sucks you there, like me." Zero-Jaune grimaced.
"Yeah, I guess you got a point!" the young Ultra said as the rest had a laugh.
"Ugh, did you guys forget, we're studying?!" Weiss shouted at the others.
"Aw, come on Weiss! Everybody needs a break!" Ruby stated.
"Breaks don't last an hour…" Weiss pointed to the clock, as it indeed was an hour since they had this 'break'.
"Umm… we forgot?" Cody shrugged innocently.
"I swear, if what Zero said is right, then I have faith that ANY version of you is as dense as you are!" the snow queen groaned.
Somewhere in the multiverse, multiple copies of Cody all sneezed at once, and they didn't know why...
"You don't need to be so cold-hearted, Weiss." Yang said, crossing her arms.
"Well then, can we at least get to studying for once?" she grumbled as she calmed down a little bit.
"Might as well, shonen. Sides, you can focus more about all this questioning on the weekend." Zero-Jaune noted, before he stood up and left the team as they got to working on their homework.
As they studied, Weiss was once again left to her own thoughts as she finished her own homework.
Though, a few snickers or mumbles caught her eye, as Cody and Ruby were doing something to one another to each that. Just how childish were they?! Even when told to do something as basic as homework, they goof off!
"Weiss, you look okay?" Ruby asked as she saw the scowl forming on her face.
"Just… peachy…." She said, as if she was almost ready to scream.

Soon, it was time for their next class as Cody began to write down what Professor Port was saying during his stories.
"Uhh, what are you doing?" the red-hooded huntress asked him.
"I'm taking notes" he explained.
"From Professor Port?" she questioned him.
"I mean, I've heard of teaching via stories before but I didn't think I'd see it in action" the young Ultra chuckled.
"Well… wanna see what I did?" Ruby asked, as Cody turned and nodded. She soon showed him a poor drawing of Port, as it made him almost burst out laughing.
Weiss was nearing her breaking point, how could these two have been accepted into the academy?!
"Now, who would like to test out their might?" Port offered to the class.
"I volunteer!" the heiress declared.
"Ohh! Miss Schnee! It's always good to have someone full of energy." Port said. "Please, go change into your battle gear and be ready."
Weiss nodded as she stood up, giving a swift glare at the two younger members of her team before heading out. She will show them well, it was time to show what it means to be a student of Beacon.
Once arriving back into class, she took hold of her rapier, ready to fight. As nearby was a cage, holding a Grimm for her to fight.
"Now, Ms. Schnee. Are you ready?" Professor Port asked her.
"I am." She nodded.
"Go get 'em Weiss!" Ruby cheered from the sidelines.
"Stop distracting me!" She snapped at her.
After regaining her composure, she turned to the cage as a large boar-like Grimm charged out and right at her.
'Alright, just like you practiced' Weiss thought as she dodged the incoming Grimm's attack. She tried to first attack, yet her weapon bounced off its hide, quickly realizing what she forgot against this Grimm.
"Weiss! That one's only weakness is underneath! Get under it or flip it over!" Cody said, trying to help her, as he was slightly worried.
"I know that, already! Stop treating me like some newbie at this!" She snapped at him, also getting annoyed by his interruptions as well. This did hinder her, as the boar struck her side, forcing her away before she stopped herself from getting vulnerable.
'They are so annoying! Why did 'she' have to be the leader? I could be so much better than she could ever hope!' Weiss grimaced in her thoughts. 'And 'he' is nothing more than someone trying to be some hero! He shouldn't be here either!'
After a while, she soon went in for the kill and stabbed the boar Grimm in the belly, killing it.
Port clapped for her fight and achievement, "Well done, Miss Schnee. While you know its weakness and strength, and using it to defeat it was well done. I will admit, you do get a few points deducted, only because you got distracted." He informed her, making the heiress grip her weapon with some annoyance.
"As for you two, Mr Aldrich and Ms Rose. While I know you two worry for your teammate and want to help. Please refrain from distracting her. While in the field is one thing, in this school? They must figure it out themselves and solve it. Helping is only causing a disturbance, understood?" He chastised the duo, making them flinch but nod in respect of his wishes.
"We messed up, huh?" Cody whispered to her.
"Y-Yeah…" Ruby nodded, feeling guilty over her actions as Yang assured her with a pat on the shoulder.

Soon classes were over as the students began to exit the hall, save for Ruby, Weiss, and Cody.
"Weiss… um.. We just wanted to say, we're sorry for distracting you." Ruby started.
"We honestly just wanted to help. We didn't mean to distract you or make you upset. We just worry and try to help out." Cody added on.
Weiss was angry, but their apology at least soothed a bit of that anger.
"I honestly wish you two could get a grip. Being within Beacon is serious! Yet you two still act like kids in a fair!" She scolded them, "I'd rather see you two go back a few grades and mature a bit before coming here. Ozpin was wrong in putting you two ahead of others, especially you Cody."
"Wait, me?" the Ultra asked.
"Yes you!" She growled out as she stomped closer towards Cody, "Not only did you get here without any official work, Huntsmen training, or even other schools. You're just making this so easy! Do you know how frustrating it is for most of us? We all worked so hard to get here, yet you get a free pass and act like it's a piece of cake! Not all of us are part-Ultraman, we have to make an effort to get here, not have it handed to us on a silver platter!"
Ruby soon got in between her partner and her friend, not wanting another conflict from the two to happen.
"Weiss, that was uncalled for! He's still trying his best!" Ruby said, defending him as this was becoming a bit too personal for the heiress.
The pair soon backed off as Weiss turned to Ruby.
"I should've been the leader, not you. Ozpin made a mistake." She said coldly before walking off, leaving the two there by themselves.
Cody had his head lowered. He was unsure why this bothered him so much, and even more so on why he was agreeing with Weiss?
"I'm… going to relax in the ship…" He said before leaving the hall.
"Cody…" Ruby said, wanting to reach out to him, yet he was gone before she even could, causing her to lower her own head. "Is…. Weiss right? Was this a mistake?"
"What do you think, Miss Rose?"
Ruby soon turned around to see Ozpin, approaching her with once again, coffee in hand.
"O-Oh… Professor Ozpin… Sorry, I wasn't trying to-"
"Ruby." Ozpin stopped her, as he gave her a concerned, yet caring look as she lowered her head before raising it back up.
"Is it true….? That… maybe it was a mistake to not only allow me and Cody into Beacon so early, but making me a leader?" She asked him.
Ozpin soon placed a hand on his chin to think before shaking his head.
"I do not think so" he answered, "Believe me, when I say, I have made more mistakes than any man, woman, or child in Remnant and even beyond time itself. My question is… Do you think so?"
Ruby looked at his eyes, pondering at his question as she began to think it over. She soon looked up before shaking her head.
"I guess not," she admitted.
"Good. Now, learn and do better, alright? Give them both some time. I'm sure Ms Schnee and Mr Aldrich will both learn as well and improve too." Ozpin nodded to her.

Meanwhile with Weiss…
"Grr… so frustrating…. Maybe Port will give me some insight and see if Ozpin can change things." Weiss grumbled to herself as she went onward to find the professor, knowing who she is, Weiss is certain Professor Port will agree with her statement.
"Is everything alright, Ms. Schnee?" the professor asked after she found him.
"Ah, Professor Port!" She exclaimed, "Yes, I actually wanted to talk to you. I believe Professor Ozpin made a mistake, and I believe he should change my team and at least transfer both Ruby and Cody to a more correct school and grading as they both are too childish to be at Beacon."
"Are you sure about this?" Professor Port questioned her.
"Yes. I am. They both don't take this seriously enough, and Cody just seems to be handed all of this like it was nothing! It's frustrating to see him just get like this, when everyone else worked so hard to be here." She said to her, exclaiming her frustrations and thoughts.
Port thought through her opinions as he let out a sigh. "Miss Schnee. While I understand your problems, I must say, I have to decline with it entirely." He told her, "I've known Ozpin for decades, and not once have I ever questioned or even thought about him making the wrong decision."
"Then, why are-"
"Allow me to finish, Ms. Schnee." the professor said, stopping Weiss from continuing. "While I understand your frustration, at the end of the day you all are still children. You still have a few more years before you even need to consider all of this. That's what this school is for. Besides, if we honestly were worried about pushing someone into a higher grade or even placing them without proper training, why would we accept someone as arrogant as the Schnee's in Beacon?" He explained, almost scolding Weiss for her testaments.
Weiss was taken aback by this as Port soon sighed.
"Perhaps you weren't chosen to be the leader, I have seen plenty of students share similar grievances. However most of them chose instead to help the ones who were chosen in keeping their teams together" the professor reminisced, "Maybe this is a sign that you could do the same for Ms. Rose. And if you think Mr. Aldrich is not up to snuff, why not help tutor him rather than pawn him off to a lesser academy? Wouldn't it be unfair to throw out a student before they could have a chance at overcoming expectations?"
Weiss was taken back by this. The young heiress lowered her head. Was… she in the wrong? Could they actually both be better with help and proper treatment?
She soon remembered how her father quickly dismissed anything about her becoming a huntress. Even simply just placing her in Atlas Academy so he would once again have a hold on her. If it wasn't for Winter, she wouldn't be able to be here and make her own choices….
"Well, I supposed it really wouldn't be fair to take that away from them…" she finally admitted.
"Mhm, good. Now, take that pride you have, and change it into assistance. If you honestly want to be a Huntress, you have to swallow that Schnee pride and show to be better. Isn't that why you wanted to be here instead of Atlas? To show you have your own will?" Port pointed out.
She soon smiled as she nodded and walked off. However unbeknownst to her, someone was watching from the sidelines, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Within the ship, Cody was sitting on one of the chairs that Rem had recreated for his use, as the main cockpit was becoming more like another room or an extra housing for him along with others as even JNPR and the rest of RWBY were there as well, enjoying the sci-fi tech along with other things as well.
"Weiss truly got to him, huh?" Yang noted, as the young Ultra sat there in silence, gazing at the items of his 'heritage' with unsureness.
"Yeah, he's been looking at those things for a while," Jaune noted.
[Well, as we all know, he is still new to this and was quite sheltered for most of his life. He still has yet to find ways to cope or even adapt to these types of problems and trials. He just needs time and help.] Zero responded to Jaune's thoughts.
'Speaking from experience?' the blonde Huntsman asked him.
[Hehe, of course. I am close to being 6,000 years old.] Zero smirked.
'Wait, 6000?! That's really old!' Jaune mentally exclaimed.
[Oi, we Ultra live long. How else do you expect us to help out the galaxy if we are the same lifespan as humans and Faunus?] Zero said, with an annoyed huff. [Plus, I'm still a young adult in Ultra Years so that's like around 24 - 25 comparatively.]
Jaune was left stunned, 'Touche…'
"For now, let's just give him space. When he wants to talk or help, he'll say so." Ren added, "Even being alone in their thoughts is something we all need from time to time."
"That and pancakes!" Nora added with a cheer. "Rem! Get the frying pan, prepped!" She shouted to the AI.
[I'm sorry. I believe I am not programmed with any culinary protocols, Ms. Valkyrie] Rem apologized.
"Huh?! Then… why is this here?" She asked, holding up somehow a freshly pulled carrot in her hands.
"I have no idea" Yang sighed.
"For now, let's just focus on something else, okay?" Pyrrha said, trying to change the conversation as she could tell, the young Ultra was feeling uneasy about them talking about this near him.
Suddenly, Rem's scanners detected something.
"Master, I detect an enemy alien presence in the campus!" she warned him.
Cody flinched, softly looking up as he looked back down at the items. While he was in a terrible mood… this could help him vent out his issues as he took hold of them, "Where exactly Rem?" He asked the AI.
"Near the outdoor courtyard" she reported.
"Alright. Get the express elevator ready." He nodded, looking at the others, "Can…. you all help me as well?"
"Sure!" Zero spoke from Jaune's body.
"Like you need to ask? We're friends after all." Yang smirked softly.
Cody smiled softly back as the express elevator was ready, as they all headed in, quickly being transported to the area in need.

Meanwhile, Ruby was heading back when she noticed a stranger tailing Weiss. Worried it could be another alien attack or abduction, Ruby began to tail the alien as well. Worried for her friend, she felt like she needed to say something, yet the words of Weiss and her skills did make her question herself once more.
She soon got close to see who was tailing the girl.
"Hikari, I will find Hikari…" he chanted.
'Hikari? Wait…. Does that mean…?' Ruby said in her thoughts before gasping out loud, "Weiss! You have a Little Star!" She shouted, earning both the heiress's and the stranger's attention.
"What?" she gasped.
"Girl, show me where Hikari is!" the stranger declared as they rushed the heiress.
Weiss's eyes widened, quickly drawing out her rapier as she formed an ice shield quickly. "Great, just another annoyance today!" She grimaced.
The stranger soon revealed himself to be a knight-like alien. While it had black skin that was charred in several places, it also contained easter armor on its body alongside set of singed red fur on the thighs, forearms, shoulders and the top of the helmet which now contained an eyepatch, as its piercing red eye gripped a katana on its back, unsheathing as it sliced through the ice shield with ease, shocking the two Huntresses.
"Too weak… now, show me where Hikari is, woman! Zamusha demands it!" The alien demanded, attempting to cut down Weiss.
"I don't even know who Hikari is!" the heiress growled.
"Then I'll ask Hikari and find out!" The alien stated, yet with another swipe it was blocked by Ruby and her scythe, defending her teammate.
The pair soon fought as Cody and the others arrived.
"Wah! Samurai Alien!" Nora shouted out with glee.
"That's… interesting…" Blake noted.
"Let's help out Weiss!" Jaune noted before he and Cody first charged in, the knight and the young Ultra ready as Cody had his Primitive Knuckle ready with Ultraman's Capsule inside, as it was using a Spacium Korrin for his hand to hand combat.
As Alien Zamusha noticed, he kicked Ruby and Weiss away, as it blocked Jaune's sword swing, only to push back as he deflected the Korrin's that Cody threw, only to slash them when they came back, shocking the group.
"Too weak! You all are too weak!" Zamusha growled, sheathing the blade only to quickly unsheath and create a powerful slash at them all, striking and throwing them aside from the sheer power and force of it.
"Who is this guy?!" Cody
"Said something about being called.. 'Zamusha'? I only know that he's after Weiss, cause she too is a Little Star host!" Ruby said to the others.
"She's one, too? Why are they popping up, like popcorn?" Cody questioned.
"Does Rem have any info on him?" Phyrra asked the young Ultra.
Cody shrugged, before he took hold of the Capsule Holder, "Rem? Any ideas?" He asked her.
"I believe that is Ultraman Hikari's old rival, the swordsman alien Zamusha. He seems to be wanting another rematch, but since the man who beat him, he must believe the way to find him is via the Little Star within Ms. Schnee."
"Then we have to make sure he doesn't get it." Cody said, soon telling the others about what this alien wants.
He soon equipped his Primitive Knuckle with Taro's Capsule and prepared himself for a fight. Nora and Ren charged in next, as he easily threw Nora away to Ruby and Weiss, before blocking Ren's attack.
"Hmm… you… Could you be Mebius?" Zamusha glared.
"Sorry, but I'm not. But we'll make sure he doesn't have to worry about you going to the underworld after this." Ren responded.
The pair then quickly clashed blades as the others quickly joined in to aid their friend. Blake and Pyrrha charged in next as the two swung in sync, while Blake backed off before firing a few rounds at him, before Pyrrha used her Semblance to force the alien to either drop the sword or unable to use it, yet he surprised them both as he deflected the rounds at Pyrrha with his feet, forcing the pro-huntress to be unfocused.
"Tsk, you people are much weaker than I expected" he chided them while steadying his sword.
"Maybe to you, but we still have the advantage in numbers!" Yang said, rushing with her fist ready as she threw several punches at him, with him blocking each hit.
Once she readied another punch, the brawler had to quickly pull the punch back before the samurai alien could cut it off.
"That was close…" she commented.
"Yeah… we might be outclassed here…" cody grimaced, switching from Taro to UltraSeven, as he gained his Geed Slugger in response.
"My fight is not with you, Belial!" Zamusha growled.
"H-He knows?" Ruby gasps.
"I am not Belial!" Cody growled in response.
However that distraction soon cost him as he was left distracted for a sweeping leg that knocked him down, allowing the samurai full access to fight Weiss.
"Now, die with your host, Hikari!" he declared as he charged forth, ready to cut down the heiress where she stood.
"Crap!" Cody grimaced, throwing his Slugger at first before charging forward only to use his body to block the attack.
However, someone was faster than him…
"RUBY!" Weiss cried out as before Cody could reach Weiss, Ruby was there as she took the attack dead on and fell to the ground in pain.
Cody soon came to a slow stop, looking at Ruby along with the injury that was caused. Yang quickly got to her sister first, making sure she could stop the bleeding and cut.
Yet for the young Ultra? Everything only… turned red...
Soon the air around him caught the attention of the others. It felt like a cold wave hit them, as dark energy began to pour out of his body. This was true malice… and somehow… it made them feel scared. Cody soon howled out in anger, turning and lunging towards Zamusha with rage.
What resulted was not a fight, but a chase for survival as Zamusha noticed Cody's attacks were coming out much faster and harder than before.
'So, this is the power of the Reionics?' he thought as he frantically blocked several of the enraged Ultra's attacks.
"Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill!" Cody howled out, his voice now being distorted as his eyes were now shining red, as the next punch not only broke through the alien's sword, but ripped through its shoulder like nothing.
Soon, Cody began charging up his Wrecking Burst attack much to everyone's shock. Then, once he fired out the blast, a shrouded figure appeared and slapped the beam away.
"Now, now… No need to act like that, just yet, boy." the figure said, turning to the alien, "You're going to have to come with me, Alien Zamusha, or at least an Alien Zamusha. Otherwise, he will kill you."
"Che, that boy is weak! He only got lucky…." Zamusha spat out.
"No. As the son of Belial, he has more than enough power to erase everything on this planet, given the chance." The figure said, much to everyone's shock. "Now, your choice, either stay and die? Or come with me and fight another day."
Zamusha soon looked hard pressed to retreat; but soon complied as he gave Weiss one final glare.
"I will be back for you, Hikari…" he warned the heiress.
And with that, the alien Zamusha and the new figure disappeared into darkness, only for the berzerk Ultra to jump onto the area that they left. He howled in rage and anger as he smashed the ground over and over again.
"Cody! Cody, they got away!" Zero called out to him.
The young Ultra froze, only to turn to the others, his eyes still beaming with red and rage as he soon began to walk to the others, hands covered in dirt as if he saw them as enemies as well.
"Not good… I don't think Cody can even hear us…" Pyrrha grimaced.
"Are we really going to fight him?" Nora asked.
"No… let me…" Weiss said, as she stepped forward. "Most of this… is my own fault…"
"Weiss, you don't need to do this!" Jaune said, worried.
"I called him being here, a 'mistake'. I insulted and hurt him… So let me do this." Weiss responded.
She then stepped forward, her grip on her weapon tight in case she had to fight him.
"Listen, Cody? I don't know if you can hear me but… please, please don't make me fight you" she pleaded with him.
The young Ultra, growled at her, "Mis...take…" He repeated her words, as he still sounded hurt, before he lunged at her, and tried to swipe at her with his hands, like a claw attack.
"Listen! I know what I said, but I don't think you're a mistake! Not anymore!" she shouted as she blocked the attack.
"Can't… trust…. I'm… monster…." Cody said, as if some part of his consciousness is there, just unable to break away from his powerful bloodline.
'Dammit, I don't know if there's a way to get to him!' Weiss thought as she saw the berzerk Ultra lurch towards her.
"Co...dy…." Ruby's voice soon got out, as he soon stopped, just in time as his fist was only an inch away from the Heiress.
"You're… not some monster…. You're… not a mistake… You're… our friend…. And… my family…" Ruby said, as she gave a weakened smile.
The red huntress soon slowly but surely got back to her feet and hugged Cody, the berzerk Ultra slowly calming down as he returned to normal.
"No matter what happens… I will be by your side, always…" Ruby said. Cody stood there, as his eyes changed back to normal, only to collapse out of his exhaustion, soon followed by Ruby as Yang caught them both.
"Geez…. Her first actual injury, and she uses her willpower to help him." Yang sighed out, but smiled, "She has a good heart, huh?"
"Yeah… guess… she really does have what it takes to be a leader…" Weiss noted, "I…. I'll apologize when they wake up…"
Ruby soon nodded as they brought the pair to the infirmary for their injuries to be treated.

As the next day came, Cody slowly opened his eyes to find himself in the infirmary. He turned his head to see Ruby, quickly being reminded of her injury as he got up and to her side.
"Ruby! Are you alright?" He asked, worried and fear showing in his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she reassured him, "Just a flesh wound"
"Don't be like that, you have stitches now." Yang said, walking in with the others, "Be glad that's all you got… Otherwise how would you tell dad about getting a scar?"
The pair soon chuckled as Weiss sighed, walking towards the pair with a large feeling of guilt and regret.
"I…. I wanted to say that… I'm sorry…" Weiss apologized, "I… know I can't take back what I said… but… I know I can be better than that." she said, looking to Ruby first, "I… still think that you're being very childish over all of this… But… I'll do what I can to trust your judgement and leadership…"
The red huntress could only smile as the heiress next turned her attention towards Cody.
"And… I'm sorry as well for what I said. I do think that you getting all of this so easily, is frustrating…. But…. I know now, that it would be better to show you things you have yet to learn… I'll do what I can to help you, so that you're up to the same task as everyone else in Beacon."
"Thank you, Weiss.. I… I actually needed that." Cody nodded softly.
This soon caused the Little Star to slowly float out of Weiss and into Cody's Capsule Holder, as he took it out, he saw that he gained a new Ultra Capsule. Yet, instead of the usual one, this Ultraman was blue with white accents and a few golden stars as it had a golden background.
"Ultraman Hikari, Mebius' friend and Zamusha's rival" Cody noted as they looked towards the new Hikari capsule.
"So, what can he do?" Nora asked.
"From what Rem just told me," Cody said, letting go of his Capsule Knuckle, "Hikari is not only the head of the science division of the Ultra's homeplanet, but he's skilled in swordsmanship, as he has a unique blade given to him by Ultraman King. Only Mebius surpasses him in that."
"So, will we ever see Mebius' capsule in the future?" Ruby pondered.
"Hard to say… Rem said she doesn't know how many Capsules were stolen. Only that it was enough for me and Zett to find them." Zero-Jaune said, taking over for the response.
"Speaking of, who exactly is that Zett guy?" Cody asked.
Zero-Jaune sighed heavily, "He's… my self proclaimed 'pupil'..." He said with embarrassment.
"Hehehe, Zero has a super fan!" Nora snickered.
"Oi, it wasn't my choice!"
"But you still had him tag along, which means you aren't denying some potential of him becoming that." Ren added.
"I suppose; I just hope the kids doing fine…"

"AAACHO!" a young man wearing a yellow cap sneezed from within the cockpit of a mecha.
"Something wrong, Kaminari?" an older man in a military uniform asked the cap man, Kaminari.
"Not sure…" Kaminari admitted, "Probably just hay fever…"

"Still, we know someone knows all about Cody being Geed…" Blake noted, making them look at her, "That person, not only stopped an attack, but seems fully aware of Belial being his father… We might have an enemy who is spying on us."
"Which also means we'll see this enemy even more than before…" Ren noted.
"Just who is he…." Cody grimaced, "How was he even able to swat my attack so easily?"
"I have no idea, but I feel like whoever he is, I don't think he's doing this for any good intentions…" Ruby feared
"Yeah… ditto." Yang nodded, "We'll have to be on guard for now on."
"I'll inform Professor Ozpin about this, and the potential of the new enemy." Pyrrha offered as she headed out.
'Still… just what is going on, and why are there more aliens and enemy attractions here lately? This place was so far off and with so much of King's power here, not many come. So why now?' Zero questioned in his own thoughts. 'Could… Belial be planning another attack like last time?'
This problem would then be much more troublesome than before. While trying to retrieve both the Ultra Capsules and Medals was his top priority, now knowing that Belial could be planning this? He may have to stay on Remnant much longer than he thought, just in case his archenemy pops up again.
Either way, this is now becoming more of a troublesome issue that it had to be. Zero could only hope this time, Belial will stay down. As well as hoping Cody doesn't become the next Belial either. He has hopes for the young ultra, but as shown by last night's attack? It could still be possible for him to become one as well…. He just hopes it will never turn out that way.
A/N: Welp, another Geed chap done. This time, just a simple fight and such. So yeah, we'll be seeing Zamusha again, as we'll even see him fight the power of Mebius thanks to Brave Challenger! When that'll be is another discussion.
Regardless, hope you all enjoyed this chap?
Until next time, later minna!
