-Narren Gold motel lobby-

Every member of the Bullet Parade are waiting there excluding Harriet and Moon. Misty is looking through books of Aura and Semblance books with Bean who looks bored and doesn't seem to understand what the lessons mean to her. 'Are you sure you want to be a Huntress, my dear Misty?' Adam asks her as he's trying to teach Misty and Bean on how to be a Huntress.

'I'm sure!' Misty with a dedicated tone, 'I don't want Moon to keep protecting me forever, and after seeing the horrors of my family's death, I want to become a Huntress'.

Bean yawns, 'I can understand her but why me? I'm already a perfect person to become a main character' Bean complains about her involvement.

'Well we're gonna get you somewhat ready, at least ready to fire a gun at least' Loki talk to Bean who's pouting while he's carrying Oski, seeing her Silver Eyes. Loki is showing off wings of an helmet over him by using his Semblance.

'Did Moon said something about your Aura?' Winter asks Misty

'Yes, she did. She told me that I have a weak Aura but I don't really understand it at all. I can activate it, or it's always on...? Can one of you tell me?' Misty continue to be confused over the topic.

'Can I feel your arm muscles or Mary can feel your leg muscles?' Marquis asks Misty about it who seems uncomfortable about it as Bean continue to look over the books.

'How come? I know having muscles means to be stronger but why do you need to feel them?' Misty present her arm, reluctantly, to Mary who's feeling the arms and legs.

'Having muscles will improve your Aura stamina and endurance' Mary answers.

'Unlike the skinny fat ass over there...' Loki points at Bean who's pouting.

'I'm not that fat!' Bean yells at Loki, 'It's just that every main character I've read about don't really exercise or don't have build bodies...'

'Yeah, well this isn't one of those stories Bean' Mary talk as she continues to examine Misty's body. 'If your Aura can break that easy, it means that you ain't gonna last long. Even if you take a break, you're still a walking fragile package. If you build your body to a lean yet muscular tone, you'll last for awhile. But...'

Cedric adds, 'It's your mind that some of us are kind of worry about. If you keep your Aura up at all times, the longer it'll take to regain it. But if you have a sharp mind and quick reflexes, you can activated the Aura when you're about to strike. You can go on till who's the smartest and the strongest wins once you got a strong body and a sharp mind'

'And how does Semblance work? Do you pick what you wanted?' Misty continue to ask about the topic.

'If that was the case, I would had choose my Semblance from being an Attachment-Based to an Enhancer-Based' Cedric spoke up, 'But Semblance is a tricky topic, even scientist can't explain it. But to my understandings, Semblance can go down into three ways; Family pass down, family tree selection or Aura strength'

'It seem Family is a theme when it come to Semblance' Misty look at the book

'I really does, but since Aura and Semblance correlate to one another, scientist believes it's Aura' Madison taking up measurements.

'But sometimes the first one play out sometimes, those that we call "Legacy Families" due of how often their children tend to have them same Semblance rather than a family tree selection or Aura strength. I should know personally. So how much muscle does she have?' Winter asks Mary.

'She's getting there. Some more work on the arms but she'll be good' Mary answers. 'So what kind of Semblance did your parents had?'

'I can answer that...' Adam pulls out his notebook with the Lovehart Family, 'I remembering talking about it to be an Emotional and Attachment mixture...'

'Emotional-Based?' Bean looks over, 'I thought there's only five classes?'

'It's an unofficial class but emotion can play in any class' Madison clarify it.

'It's Attachment-Based where she uses her Aura to make both him and Mr. Lovehart to look younger than they are' Adam explain it.

'I should know how my parents are' Misty reminds Adam, 'But my sister got her Rabbit's Foot from our mother's side...' Misty turn to the girls, 'This must be a Family Tree Selection then'

'Correct!' Madison pets Misty.

'So how does my Semblance work? Because I don't know how it happen?' Misty asks about how to gain a Semblance.

'Just let shit happen' Loki answers as he's holding Oski high. 'If you're gonna do something stupid to wake your Semblance, then you're gonna end up dead. I recommend on letting whatever ship happens, let it happen'

'Well... okay then' Misty looks down shifting her eyes as she's thinking till she turn to Bean, 'What about you Bean! What are you gonna do?'

Bean been caught surprised by Misty, 'Well... I might figure it out, and in stories like that, I guess I can let whatever stuff happen in order to figure out what's my Semblance is', Bean talking with a confident tone.

'But we're gonna train your body up first. If your Aura is weak, then your body won't handle whatever consequence your Semblance will do to you' Mary tells Bean what they're gonna do.

'Wait...?' Misty is confused as she quickly turning the pages to see the Semblance consequence, 'Can someone explain that one to me?'

Madison point at book, 'It's simple. If your Aura breaks but if you keep using your Semblance it's gonna have a negative effect on your body for an example...'

Loki finishes it, 'If I use my flames without my Aura protecting me, then my fire will also burn my body'. Loki looks at Bean who's watching the lobby TV instead of her books then turn back to Misty, 'If you're gonna be a dumbass as Jackson over there, or fatass, whatever she prefer to be called. You're gonna wind-up dead, unless she can get some fat muscle, you know the bodyguard figure where they look fat but really they're muscle. As long you have muscle, your Aura won't break that easy'

Misty nods. Got up, slaps her face to walk up to Adam. 'Mr. Black, can I punch your sword like Mr. Geel did yesterday?'

Adam is surprise over the request, 'Why not hit Marquis? He has a Recoil-Based too, in fact, he welcomes it', Adam points at Marquis. 'Wilt here is the strongest sword on Remnant, you're gonna hurt your hand if you punch it, or even cut yourself if you kick it', Adam worried for Misty safety.

'It's fine!' Misty small hops as she's pumping herself up, ready to punch Adam's Wilt.

Loki looks then an idea came to him. Loki passed Oski to Mary who placed her into her Cotton Hand as a bed for her. 'Hey, Lovehart. I want to try something...' Loki pulls out his arm and hand for Worthy to come to his hand, turn off the self-defense mechanism to allow Misty to try, 'I want to see how strong you and your sister are'

Misty looks down to see Worthy, 'Want me to lift it?'

'Yeah' Loki nods

Misty looks toward Worthy, hesitant to touch it till she placed her hand onto the handle of Worthy. Grab a grip to it to try to lift it. Misty struggles only and only lifting it to an inch. Misty lets it go, stretching out her back. 'Wow! That's heavy!'

'You feel like giving a punch to Black's sword?' Loki asks Misty.

'One punch...' Misty smiled but scare over the idea.

'Feel free to punch it' Winter pats on Misty's shoulders as Adam draw Wilt but still keep it into Blush.

Misty is rolling her arm to get ready to punch Wilt. Adam is there holding Wilt. Misty punch Wilt. Misty entire body shakes from the pain. 'Ouch! That hurt like hell!' Misty is holding her hand as she's feeling the pain. 'What is that sword made out of?'

'It's Moonite Rock' Winter answers while she's caring for Misty's hand.

'Hey!' Harriet call out as both she and Moon came from the elevator.

'Moon! What took you so long?' Misty walk up to Moon with a hug, 'I know you and Harriet here wanted to catch up but does it really took over an hour?' Misty sass towards Moon.

Everyone is snickering as Misty turn around in confusion. Moon place her hand on Misty's shoulder, 'I guess it's time to teach you about the birds and the bees'

'Hey!' Madison yells out to Moon.

Bean continue to look through her book till she noticed a page of no Aura protection from Semblance over usage. 'Ms. Lovehart, a friend of ours wanted to know about something, what is your dream?'

Moon is confused at first then quickly put together, 'Oh! Well my dream is a simple one. I wanted to takeover the Shed and make it to a Huntsmen and Huntress pub'

Harriet place her arm around Moon, 'Aw! My girl here is such a simple girl'

'Well before you tell me about the birds and the bees, Mr. Loki wanted to know how strong you are' Misty points at Worthy.

'Had anyone try to lift it?' Moon walk up to Worthy and examine it.

'Our newly friend from Argus, Autumn Maples, Adam, Zozo and Mary' Cedric answers.

Moon chuckle, 'Well I'm not surprise that the three can pull it off', Moon grabs Worthy, slightly struggle at first till she managed to lift over her shoulders.

Harriet watches as she's completely in shocked to see how much stronger Moon had gotten, 'Woah...', Harriet then look down and in embarrassed over her development.

Moon placed Worthy down, 'I guess all that training and beatings does help out. Hurts like hell, but still worth it'

Harriet quickly walk up to Worthy and try to lift it while angrily muttering to herself, 'I'm gonna lift you! You heavy son of a bitch!' Harriet try to lift it like Moon but as before, she could only go up to her shins but she's forced to put it down.

Moon chuckle, 'As usual, Hare. You don't like to lose'

Harriet again tries to lift but couldn't get passed her shins. Bean looks over as she comment, 'She seems to be more driven than usual'

'She just doesn't like losing. Should had saw her when I first met her' Moon start to reminisce, 'I remember when she told her parents on me when I won our first ever race. Granted I got scolded because I was a Faunus, but after several races, I keep on winning'

Harriet is trying to beat Moon on lifting Worthy but can't get passed her shins. 'Just give up, Bree. You're not gonna lift it. You're not strong enough', Loki put down Harriet who's struggling.

Moon pat Harriet's back, 'There, there. You tried your best'. Harriet sat down with a pouting expression.

'Well I guess we could walk around to enjoy the day till reality comes by' Winter wanting to spend the day with her friends.

'Ms. Noelle Snow...' a hotel worker came by with her luggage, 'We got your luggage'

'Thank you' Winter acts like a sweet airhead girl, 'I completely forgot about them', Winter snickers.

The hotel worker place the luggage in front of her. Adam walk next to Winter, 'Noelle Snow?', curious about the name.

'It's a name I go by, whenever I want to have a little vacation from my family, I used my mother's alias name. I found it during her party nights and I made a replica of it, and got the pin numbers. But I couldn't access to the secret trust fund, apparently it holds a larger amount of funds from my grandfather's funds and inheritance that my mother could only have access to, and to another name, but I guess she's saving it for the Schnne Heir', Winter explain.

'That make sense' Loki nods which confused Adam and Mary.

'How so?' Mary asks Loki about it.

'It's common to rich people at Atlas to leave a private inheritance to someone important' Loki just simplify it. Adam and Mary nods, but in reality they're confused.

'So... Noelle', Bean is looking at the luggage, 'What's in the luggage?'

'Just gear we might need later in our camping trip' Winter answered, 'Don't worry, I didn't forgot about you' Winter pats Bean's back till she turns to Cedric, 'But I didn't get you anything'

Cedric shrugs it off, 'I don't mind it. Us elitist can work whatever we can get. And besides, at least I'll have least baggage when I go to Vacuo later this summer'

'Wish you could go now rather than bothering us' Madison with a spiteful tone.

Cedric mockingly hold his heart like he's having a heart attack, 'Madison, you hurt my wittle feelings'


-Hana-

'I know I'm still young, but I wanted to be ahead of my schooling...' Autumn spoke through her scroll, 'Even though I'm months ahead', muttering to herself. 'Yes...' Autumn is still trying to convince her teacher, 'You told my parents...?', Autumn holding her collar, tucking it. 'I told them that... Oh...', Autumn is surprised, 'My parents won't mind me going with friends?', Autumn is listen, 'Well I'll call my parents then...', Autumn nods, 'Okay, sir. Goodbye'. Autumn hangs up and pressed the speed dial, 'Hey mom...' Autumn hold the scroll far away from her ear as if she's being yell at. Autumn hesitant to pull the scroll, 'Love you too, mom...', sarcastically. 'Yeah, I'm doing my OIT duties, bringing back my friend's luggage. I'm at Hana, right now. Since I'll waiting for some friends... yes, I made some friends... I know I wasn't well like by my other classmates at school but... Yes, but these people are good people even though there are three Faunus I can't trust... Yes, I know that Faunus can be a dangerous race but there are some that I know that are good. Even two Faunus are in a relationship with regular people... It may sound crazy but if they're willingly to give it a chance, then we should give Faunus a chance. I'll be home maybe in a week or so? Oh yeah! I forgot to mentioned that I've met Winter Schnee... I know, right! She's more elegant than I expected. If I get pictures, I'll send them to you. Okay, bye mom!' Autumn hangs up the scroll. Autumn is drinking tea at an outside cafe then look at Bean's bag and Twin Rose at the side. Autumn is looking through her texts, 'I should had exchanged numbers with them' Autumn smacks herself as she mutters.

Raijin Whitecloud is walking up to her then sat down, with Fujin Blackcloud sat next to him with a briefcase, observing the Dust inside. 'Good day, Autumn' Raijin greets Autumn.

'Oh! Uncle Raijin!' Autumn got up to hug him then sat back down. 'What brought you to Hana?'

Raijin chuckles, talking slowly and calmly, 'I was told a small gang is gonna attack a private place, so Fujin and I are gonna come down and show them up'

'A small gang? How did you got the intel?' Autumn flips her book.

'It's a small group of White Fang sympathizers that will attack this place out of spite' Raijin explain to Autumn. Raijin signs, 'I remember a time where Faunus, real hard working Faunus like Fujin here, had to prove to that sometimes equality won't get you everywhere, respect does. When London White made that speech down at Argus. I respect the Faunus man. Seeing Jacques Schnee taking over and provide work for the Faunus, even though I do hear that work can be hard but that's work. Work isn't supposed to be easy, bringing back those hard working days is the right move. You can't hand life to the ones who can't work for it, if you're only there for the easy life... then you don't deserve the life in general. Fujin here, he's one of the good ones who's willingly to put in the hard work', Fujin nods as he's just looking up to the sky. 'So what brought you to Hana?' Raijin asks Autumn.

'Well I'm just bringing back Ms. Jackson her stuff she left at Mistral train station before leaving to Narren Gold' Autumn presents the bags.

'You could had bought a ticket to Narren Gold' Fujin smoothly talk while looking up to the sky.

'I did tried but couldn't exchange tickets, so I'm forced to walk' Autumn answers in distressed.

'You could had taken the mail's route since it's usually guarded and faster trials to other cities and towns' Fujin suggest a route.

'Crap!' Autumn mad to herself.

Raijin and Fujin started to chuckle, Raijin grabs the Twin Rose as he'll talk, 'Kids don't seem to ask everything before they do anything. Now seeing this weapon, I could tell this must be a youngster starting out with something light, but seeing the design, must be someone in combat school'

Fujin sniffs, 'And due of the perfume fragments, it's a young lady. Upper class. I smell other scents, but can't clarify them'

'Well this young lady have a long road to go, but I think she'll be alright for a beginner' Raijin compliment Bean's choice of weapon then he examine it even detach the middle, 'I recommend getting a reforge of this weapon. Since I'm here, I guess I could make something up for this young lady'

Autumn grabs the Twin Rose, 'Oh! I'm supposed to bring this back to her at Narren Gold. They're on a summer adventure. Taking down some Omega level Grimm'

Raijin grabs the Twin Rose, 'If your friends are going through an adventure then traveling from train isn't much of an adventure. And if they go through Narren Gold, then they'll might go to Hana since it's the closest. And we can make something special for this one'

'Well...' Autumn reluctantly thinking it through, 'I guess Ms. Jackson could be happy for it'

'Ms. Jackson, right? Does she have a first name?' Fujin asks Autumn.

'It's Bean' Autumn answers.

'I could make a word out to the gatekeeper for an order by you' Fujin suggest.

'That would be wonderful!' Autumn stands up with an overjoy tone.

'Easy there, Autumn. Is there something we should expect, like her Semblance or Aura strength?' Raijin asks for details.

'Oh! I don't recall her saying anything about her Semblance but she does have a weak Aura' Autumn remembers.

'If her Aura is weak, then I guess she could be under an Emitter or Illusion class, and looking over her weapon of choice, clearly something based around it' Raijin continue to look at Bean's weapon.

'Can you infuse Gravity Dust on it with a glove calling it? I know a person who can do that' Autumn made a request.

'If her Aura breaks that easily, I guess I could fused it in. This is clearly made from Vacuan Iron, and I could add some Mistrain Steel. The croquet mallet could... oh! I could use Valian Steel if you want me to infuse the mallet side while the... sickle...' Raijin looks at it scythe side.

Fujin grabs it, 'We could change it into a pickax that has a handgun feature. This could be a quick job. Outside of Gravity, anything else we should add to it?'

'I guess you can surprise her' Autumn shakes her head till something came by, 'Oh! She name it Twin Rose and has a Gothic Lolita type of gear'

'Well I think I got a good design for her' Raijin got up with Fujin. 'I can tell my employers on what I'm gonna do for the next day. Plus this is a small weapon, it can be a day's worth of work' Raijin smiles over the idea of working while looking at Twin Rose, 'Looking at this reminds me of my job as an old weapons smith. Tell your friend that I'll be at the blacksmith place called Vulcan' Raijin left while Fujin stay behind to give Autumn a message.

'Your friend will be super happy for her new weapon, and since you said she has a Gothic Lolita theme, I can have an alternative weapon of choice ready. And I got some ideas for her too' Fujin smile as he close and carries the briefcase. Fujin made a call to Narren Gold.


-Jasmine-

Iris is walking around Jasmine, wearing a Faunus Collar, a glorify dog collar. Iris enter a pub where Jillian is recklessly playing a piano while Abigail is eating multiple plates of food. Iris look at the Faunus room filled with unkempt like a barn house. Iris sees different Faunus eating a talking till she found a seat at far end of the corner. Iris sees a fox tailed Faunus waitress, forced to wear a skimpy attire. 'Can I get you a drink?' as she present a menu to Iris.

Iris looks down to the menu then present a bento box, 'Does this pub have this specific bento boxes?'

The Fox Waitress is looking through the box, 'Yes, we do. Normally this is takeout orders. Are you planning on taking out anything?'

'Nope, I just want to know who had takeout orders from the last two weeks. To make it easier, anyone here take out, specifically non-family members or teens' Iris asks the waitress. The Fox Waitress look around and point out several people, including Jillian and Abigail. 'Good. Anyone with a large amount of boxes?', Iris look over the pointed people. The Fox Waitress then pointed to Jillian and Abigail, 'Thank you...' Iris pulls out her Huntress License, 'I'm looking for a criminal or two, so I'm hunting them down and they had been located to this place. As for a drink, I'll have a bottle of sake, Onigiri with miso and green onion mixed. Please, and thank you'

Iris give the menu to the Fox Waitress, 'Right away, madam' bows before leaving to the kitchen. Iris keep an eye out to Jillian and Abigail while twirling her sword's handle. Iris send a text with the location tracker on; Bring in reinforcement but in a sort distance.


-Outside of Narren Gold-

'I guess this is gonna be bittersweet since we're leaving you to your torture but we'll bring you and your sister back' Harriet happily spokes to Madison

'And Oski' Misty present her.

'Yeah, and her' Harriet reluctantly agrees on Oski.

'But first... how about the picture?' Moon suggest a group picture

'You know... I guess we could take one since I do want to enjoy this day with all of my friends and classmates. And Cedric who just tags along' Madison hugs Moon and present a camera.

Moon look around to see Hara-Kaa who's keeping an eye out on both Lovehart sisters. 'If you're gonna watch us, then would you mind on taking a picture? It's not like I'm smuggling contraband'

Hara-Ka acts like he roll his eyes but he accepted it to take the picture. Grabbing Madison's scroll with everyone in it. Misty looks nervous and trying to smile but both Harriet and Moon hold Misty close with Oski in her arms as they're in the left middle. Adam and Madison stand next to one another to the right. Mary and Loki holding hands but Loki is looking red as he's holding her hand on the right middle. Cedric kneels with Zozo behind him at the left. Winter is between Madison and Mary with both arms around them. And Bean is in a distant from them but Zozo brings Bean closer for the picture. Everyone smile as Hara-Ka who fumbles around the scroll till he found the picture feature, disgustingly took the picture of everyone. Hara-Ka gives the scroll back to Madison. 'Thanks'

'The rabbits... we're... leaving now' Hara-Kaa spoke to the group.

Everyone gives the Loveharts a final hug, 'We'll come get you' Harriet promise with a kiss. Hara-Kaa using his wires to grab both Lovehart with Charlotte carrying Oski. Everyone watches while they saw Marlin staring down to Adam with a grin showing off his sharp tooth.

'Before you go...' Winter present Moon luggage, 'I bought these for you. Once we break you three out'

Oceana grabs the luggage, 'Normally we check for contraband, but I guess we can making a fucking acceptance for this!'

The Lovehart sisters and Oski left the group with Sable.

Everyone grab their stuff till the gatekeeper, Japetus Whyte calls out, 'Is anyone there go by the name of Bean Jackson?', everyone look at Bean who's pointing at herself, 'I got a message from Autumn Maples, your stuff and your weapon is at Vulcan of Hanna. If you go south from here, you'll be able to reach it'

Bean being grateful, 'Thank you, Mister...?'

'Japetus Whyte', introduced himself

'Oh! Well thank you, Mr. Whyte' Bean bows in respect.

'We're gonna go there, regardless' Madison told Japetus.

'I was just told to deliever a message to a Ms. Jackson, Honeycomb' Japetus spoke to Madison with his monotone voice. 'Anyways, have a lovely day, Ms. Honeycomb. Ms. Jackson. And various guests' Japetus waves to the Parade.

Everyone is walking down south with Madison pulling up the map from the Jaegers meeting back at Atlas, 'It's a good thing that Oceana slip up because what we got here, Roebuck got these locations from someone from Atlas, and there's a possible Pound location down south from Narren Gold. And there's no location around the east of Narren Gold is a possible location'

Harriet is getting ready for a run, 'I hope everyone is ready for a run!'

'Normally I would decline but since Jackson here need some muscle build...' Loki walk to Bean and grab her chips, 'Start stretching because you'll starting now. And yes, you're gonna sweat a lot, but it'll be worth it'. Bean looks scare and start stretching for a second, 'Do it right! 30 to a minute long stretching!', Bean is shaking over the idea of it. 'We're gonna build your Aura from the ground up'

The group noticed a carrier flying over them with open doors. It slowed down to reveal Marlin, Charlotte, and Oceana looking down, going down south to the location. 'Sable...' Adam is looking up to them with a worrisome look.

'We'll be bringing them home' Madison placed her hand on Adam's shoulder.

Adam turn to Madison with a smile. He look down to noticed Madison has two blades attach to her side, 'Gonna learn to sword fight?'

'Hoping you'll train me on some quick self-defense techniques' Madison with a hopeful smile.

'I'm already training a Cat Faunus on self-defense but you're a fast learner and had an amazing figure with a good Aura, you'll be an amazing dual sword wielder' Adam pat on Madison's back who's blushing really hard over it. 'I'll train you when we stop at Hana'


-The Frost Carrier-

Marlin continue to look down till he decided to close the door, turning around to the Lovehart sisters without Oski Goldberg. Misty's confused. 'Woods...' Moon angrily look at Marlin, 'Why are we flying? I know we came by truck'

'We're just going back to the Pound' Marlin with a cocky smile.

Moon look around to noticed that everyone from Sable is with him, 'Normally everyone is here when you're on a job. Usually Pinke and Webster go to a school of Faunus kindergarten or elementary schoolers. And after hearing what Pinke Semblance is, I got a feeling you're gonna use them for something else'

Marlin is impressed with Moon then sat across her, 'For a little demon you are, you quickly understand what we're gonna do. But it won't matter, as long you and your sister are their goal, we'll use you two', Marlin pulls out a folder, 'Because we won't be defending it. We may all stand on equal grounds when we fought, and I'll even respect them all that we underestimated them at first, specifically the wolf but all we need to do is outsmart them. And outsmart them again, they won't be dealing with us', Marlin open up Moon's luggage from the Winter's shopping, seeing a sailor guardian gear with a bunny ears, and Moon's upgraded Bunny Ears. Marlin is impressed with the gear.

Moon shift her eyes then ask a question, 'What about that mentioned at the east?'

Marlin lift his hand up to stop Moon as he's also closing the luggage to place it next to Moon, 'I just had to mention a location, and Odile here...', Oceana respectfully wave to Moon, 'To talk about the south location, then it's game over for them'. Marlin grins at the Lovehart Sisters, 'What's waiting for them down south? There's a hurricane to shred them apart, and a thunderstorm will crackle down upon the rest'
