Distortion

It had been about an hour since Jaune and Raven dealt with Goodwitch. Shortly after he destroyed her scroll, Raven opened a portal for the two of them. She was about to step through but noticed that Jaune was doing something with his scroll. Before she could ask, he put it away and stepped through the portal. She was confused but followed him, nonetheless. As she stepped through, she saw that Jaune was leaning against a tree in a meditative position with his mask off, his hood was still up though. She had moved them to the complete opposite side of the forest they were in.

She knew exactly what Jaune was doing and knew it would be some time before he'd be ready to move again. Which left her to watch out for him for the foreseeable future. This was not the first time Jaune had stolen another person's Semblance but that didn't mean he had mastered it completely. It took many tries and the loss of many powerful abilities but, he finally had a grasp on what he needed to do now.

The first time he ever discovered this unique ability was by accident. They weren't sure if this ability came from his Negative aura, his Semblance or even a combination of the two. He was fighting a difficult opponent and tried to absorb their aura like usual. Except, he did it through physical contact. He described it like his Negative aura didn't just absorb the poor fool's aura. It fed on it. Instead of refilling his aura reserves, it made his aura stronger and it didn't stop until it reached their soul. Next thing he knew, he had ripped out a part of their soul. He absorbed it out of reflex and he found he could use their Semblance. He didn't realize it until later, but the Semblance wasn't permeant. The piece of soul eventually withered away and he lost a useful ability. He theorized that the piece needed to be integrated into his own soul to survive or it would inevitably die out.

The next time they found a useful Semblance, he put that theory to the test. He ripped out the poor girl's Semblance but this time, he integrated the piece into his own soul. He could use the Semblance but that also didn't last for long. Eventually when he tried to use it during a mission, his Negative aura went crazy and absorbed the soul in its entirety. His aura levels heightened from it but he had lost the Semblance, again. He figured that he didn't do the process correctly and because of that, his aura was constantly feeding on the remains of the soul until it finally consumed it.

Through several other encounters, Jaune finally figured how to absorb and claim another person's Semblance completely. But, it was still time consuming. She looked back over to him as his black aura manifested before it turned purple then back to black before fading away. Right now, he was working on integrating what was left of Goodwitch into his soul. Enough so he could use Telekinesis but not too much, to stop his aura from feeding on it.

It was also because of these trials that they figured out how to temporarily loan their Semblance to the other. It could only work because their auras were already fused together. All they needed to do was to channel more of their aura into the other and their auras would resonate. The aura already fused in them would use the new amount of aura to mimic the Semblance. The fused aura could do so because it 'remembered' how to use the Semblance when it was in their original host, for a lack of better term.

When the hour was up, Jaune finally stood from his meditative position and stretched his cramped muscles. "So, you're done?" Raven asked as she removed her mask.

Jaune nodded, "Yup. Took some extra time to be sure that it was done properly. We've lost too many Semblances already."

Raven nodded, "So, why did you kill her? There really was no need to."

Jaune shrugged, "We both know that anyone that does survive that process is not much better than a vegetable. Or they just lose whatever sanity they have left. She may have stood in our way, but she deserved a better fate than that."

"Makes sense, she was one of the most powerful Huntresses out there. She deserved an honorable end." Raven had a small smile, "Or are you just getting soft on me?"

Jaune returned the smile, "Oh please, if I was soft, I wouldn't have joined the tribe. Remember?" She did and so did Jaune. That moment is what lead them done this path of theirs.

It was the middle of the night but there was Jaune. Breathing raggedly and covered in sweat. He was sat on a rock outcrop in the middle of a clearing not far from the camp. He looked around slowly to observe the carnage he created. Around the entire clearing were the bodies of Grimm. Dozens of them. Bodies of Beowolves, Ursai, both Minor and Major, Boarbatusks and even a few small Nevermore. But the real prize was what was in the center of the clearing. No more than ten feet from the rock outcrop he was sitting on was the dissolving body of a King Taijitu, cut in half. The black half was on the south side of the clearing, the farthest point from the white half which was next to Jaune. The white head also had Jaune's black broadsword stabbed in its eye. Jaune turned away from his kill to look up at the fractured moon with a smile. "It's official. I've clearly surpassed what I was at Beacon."

It had been three months since he accepted Raven's offer and he was completely different. He had developed his own fighting style now, it wasn't perfected yet but it was effective. He had learned from all the intermediate and weaker tribe members, gaining necessary skills for combat. He still sparred with the higher ups of the intermediate level but the true masters of the tribe refused to train him. They thought it was pointless, why train someone with no actual allegiance to the tribe? Jaune had also had a grasp of several martial arts that the tribe had at their disposal and he learned how to use firearms. He had no patience for rifles and he found sub and full-auto machine guns to be too wasteful. Shotguns he was okay with but they found that he was a marksman when it came to handguns.

Along with that, he had learned further control over his aura or Negative aura in this case. He still hadn't mastered it but now he could walk around with at least seventy percent of his Negative aura. The other thirty was still being absorbed but he just needed to learn further control. He also found that now he was starting to absorb the aura of weaker tribe members. Made sense, if his Negative aura was being absorbed by those with stronger Positive aura then his Negative Aura would now begin siphoning off weaker Positive aura. He'd have to figure out how to stop his Negative aura from absorbing aura constantly, it wasn't good to have the weaker members even weaker because of it. And with his greater aura and control, he all but mastered his Semblance. Distortion. A fitting name he had to admit. A powerful shield to defend himself. But was that all? Could he not use this shield as a sword to destroy those in his path?

He chuckled darkly, "A few months ago, I would've been appalled by a thought like that. But now, it just seems…. fitting. I started down this path for strength, why wouldn't I be thinking about how to get more? Don't you agree, Raven?" He turned to the black half of the King Taijitu and saw Raven slowly making her way over to him. He also started being able to sense Positive aura that was around him but he could only identify Raven's at this point. But that was because she taught him aura control, he was exposed to her aura more so than anyone else's.

She looked around the clearing before looking back at him. "Impressive."

Jaune smirked at her, "I thought so. Hell, just a few more Nevermore, an Alpha Beowolf or two and a Death Stalker, and it'd be exactly like that night. Well, almost." He channeled his Aura into his hand and it started to glow black.

Raven nodded as she stood by the rock outcropping. "True. You've grown so much in such a short time. Shame Ozpin didn't put you through a regiment like mine. Then maybe you wouldn't have lost everything." She said this purposely to see how Jaune would react. He had been acting strangely the last week or two. At least for him. She was shocked to see him not even flinch but nod with her.

"He probably didn't want to break me." He chuckled lightly. "But, to be honest, I don't really care much anymore." He stopped channeling his aura and turned to Raven. "If they never betrayed me. I would've never went into the forest and met you. And you helped me to become what I am now. I owe you, a lot. So, to pay you back, I want to join the tribe, officially."

Raven was stunned. She wanted Jaune to join but she thought she'd have to do a bit more to convince him, possibly even seduce him. But her he was offering himself to her. "I'm honestly shocked you want to join. Wasn't your goal to return to Beacon?"

Jaune just looked to the sky. "It was." He looked back to her. "But let's be serious, I never really belonged their anyways. I felt like an outcast there then I felt lower than dirt when everyone betrayed me. How would I be able to work with people who stabbed me in the back once already. It'd just be pointless." He jumped down from the rock to stand in front of Raven. "But, I feel like being here is different. The tribe's members respect me and see me as a comrade. Even the higher ups are impressed by me, even if they don't trust me yet. I know I can trust the tribe more than anyone I knew at Beacon. And they feel more like a family than the Arcs ever did. I belong here, Raven."

Raven just looked into his eyes, "Can you throw your past away?"

"Already done." He said simply. "The people in my past only ever gave me pain and negativity. I used that to push myself further than anyone could've imagined and I'm still using it so I will never stop moving forward. To never look back. I no longer need them. Any of them."

Raven looked at him for a bit. "Kneel." She commanded. Jaune smiled before he did so, with his head bowed and his right fist planted on the ground. "Do you swear to cast off your past? To live for only the Tribe? To serve only the Tribe? To die for the Tribe?"

"I swear." Jaune said with finality flooding his voice. "I live to serve the Tribe. My life and death belong to the Tribe."

He saw the hilt to a dagger in front of his face. He looked to see Raven holding a white bladed dagger out to him. He was told it was made from Grimm bones and was able to bypass aura. "Prove it."

Jaune took it with his left hand before dragging the blade across his right hand with no hesitation. The dagger cut through his aura and cut deeply into his hand. His hand started to bleed and he simply clenched his fist as his blood dripped from his fingers. He placed his fist over his heart and looked into Raven's eyes, never blinking. "I swear that the blood in my veins and the heart that pumps it belongs to nothing but the Tribe."

"What is our mantra." She asked.

"The strong live. The weak die." He replied simply.

Raven held his gaze before she smiled and held out her right hand. Jaune took it and she pulled him to his feet as his blood dripped from their conjoined hands. "Welcome to your new home and family, Jaune."

Jaune just smiled before continuing. "Good to be here." As he said those words, the last of the white half of the King Taijitu evaporated and his sword fell the foot or so before impaling the ground. There was no turning back for Jaune now, but he had no intention of doing so. The Arcs, RWBY, JNPR, they were his past. The Tribe was his present.

The two were roused from their walk down memory lane when Jaune's scroll went off. He pulled it out and saw who was calling him. He answered it immediately, "What is it, Senior?" There was a pause, "So Onyx showed up, great. He's still there, right?" There was another pause, "What!? Damn it, we'll be there soon." Jaune hung up his scroll and turned to his wife. "Onyx got the information but his team and that prick followed him. He got out of there to avoid them finding out about Senior and us."

Raven looked annoyed, "Lovely." She drew her sword and created her portal. The two stepped through it and wound up in Senior's bar. They saw Senior behind his bar as usual, if he was shocked to see him he didn't show it. "Any idea on where he went?" Raven asked Senior as Jaune pulled out his scroll again.

Senior shook his head, "No, ma'am. He just ran in to tell me to get a hold of Jaune and said he had to get out of Mistral. He left and saw a group of Haven students chasing him. I wanted to call you sooner but Huntsmen have been running around like crazy for the last hour or so. They literally just calmed down."

She sighed, before she turned to Jaune, "Anything?"

"Just a second." He replied without looking up. "There. He's not too far away from Mistral, maybe a mile or two." He showed his scroll to Raven, "Can you open a portal?"

Raven nodded before she swung her blade and the portal formed. "It won't be exact but you should be within a mile or so of him."

Jaune nodded as he put his mask back on, "No problem. Hopefully, this team will do better than CRDL." He dove through the portal and it closed immediately.

Raven stood there for a second before Senior cleared his throat, "Can I get you anything, ma'am?"

She looked at him before turning away, "No, I need to set a few things up when Jaune is finished." She turned back to him with a small smile, "You did very well, thank you, Senior."

He was just stunned as she opened a portal and stepped through it. After a minute or so, he shook himself from his stupor and scratched the back of his head, "Think that was the first time she ever thanked me." He chuckled, "Jaune must have some effect on her." With that he went back to cleaning his bar.

Jaune stepped out from the portal to find himself deep within one of Mistral's plentiful forests. He quickly tried to focus on finding Onyx's aura but found nothing, he was outside his range. He sighed in annoyance, "Never that simple." He quickly used his aura and agility to make his way up one of the larger trees around him. Once he was on top of it he quickly scanned the area before he saw a smoke like flare go up not even a quarter mile away from where he was. He then realized that it wasn't smoke but steam. Jaune smirked, "That'll be Onyx." He used his aura to kick off the tree and fly towards the spot he just saw the signal come from. The force in which he kicked off the tree, tore the top half off. He kept jumping from tree to tree, moving faster with each one.

Onyx was leaning against a tree, he had his black bow, Clade Tenebris, in his left hand and he had right hand by his side. He was breathing raggedly as he glared at his former 'team'. Standing a few feet in front of him was his former leader, Corbett Michaels. He was dressed in a black and silver motif with slick back brunette hair. His broadsword held lazily in his right hand. "Looks like this is the end of the road for you, Shade."

"It's so great that you were hacking the computers when we found you. Now we won't be punished for this." Onyx turned his head slightly. Behind Corbett and to his right was his former partner, Miles Ericson, he was dressed in his usual red and black clothing along with a red beret. He had his weapon out as well, his modified Desert Eagle, painted red and black.

"Too bad. You put up much more of a fight but you weren't much better than those other weaklings." Onyx's head turned to his right and standing there, mirroring Miles, was his other teammate, Mitchell Ryan. He was wearing his usual clothing colored silver with gold accents with his dirty blonde hair spiked up. He was wielding his pair of battle axes, looked more like hatchets, as he smirked at Onyx.

"Shut your damn mouth!" Onyx shouted. "They were stronger than any of you! You just decided to eliminate them to get your own way! Some fucking Huntsmen you turned out to be!"

Soon they heard a chuckle and he looked behind his old team to see the last of them. Oliver Thomas. He was the member of the other team they had dealt with prior to this. He was wearing his usual green attire with white accents. His pants were black and he had a red bandana around his neck. His long hair was pulled into a ponytail. He was flipping his dagger in his left hand as he was leant against a tree. "That may be true. But there is no evidence and no one will believe you after what you did." He got off the tree before pulling his sword to rest his right shoulder. "Enough talk, finish him."

Onyx quickly pulled an arrow from his quiver faster than they could react. The whole arrow was black besides the head, which was white. The arrowhead contained steam dust that would be released on contact. That was until Onyx flicked a small switch in the fletching of the arrow as he pulled the string back. He quickly aimed up into the air and fired. The arrow slowly started to release steam, making an impromptu flare. The other four stared up in shock before they turned back to him, "Well, that seemed stupid." Corbett said before he went to stab him. That was until a red and black flamberge came down and drove the blade into the ground and shattering the ground with the speed behind it. The four were shocked at the arrival of the black and red clad swordsman wearing a Grimm mask. That was until he kicked Corbett in the chest, sending him flying back before he whipped his other hand out and black aura surrounded Miles and Mitchell before sending them flying as well.

"Sorry I'm late." was all Jaune said as he turned to Onyx.

He just chuckled. "Better late than never. So, what's the plan?"

Jaune cracked his neck, "You cover me. I'll deal with them."

"Fine by me. I'm exhausted." Onyx replied.

"So, who is this Onyx? A friend?" Oliver asked with a sneer.

"You could say that." Jaune said before adding darkly, "And your executioner."

The other members were standing now, "Oh please, it's four-on-one." Mitchell answered.

Jaune just shrugged, "So? I destroyed a team of Huntsmen in training at your level and one that was nearly full-fledged Huntsmen and Huntresses. Plus, I just personally killed Glynda Goodwitch." He added menacingly.

The four was shocked along with Onyx but he quickly got over it. "No way…" Miles said in disbelief.

"Oh, it is very true." Jaune answered. "So…" He got into a relaxed sword stance, "Who's first?"

Corbett charged forward with his broadsword and Jaune engaged him in his swordplay. Jaune was the clear-cut superior between the two, so Miles and Mitchell jumped into help him. That was until two orange tipped arrows flew at them. They used their weapons to guard but the ensuing explosion sent them flying, again. The two swordsmen were still going at it but Jaune was tiring out his opponent. He was siphoning his aura and the vibrations from Tourmentage Tordu were weakening his arms. The two crossed blades and were in a power struggle. "Pretty good." Jaune told him before he jumped and gave him a roundhouse kick to his face that sent him into a tree. The impact caused the remains of his dark blue aura to shatter.

Corbett looked to see Jaune making his way towards him. He quickly stood and sheathed his broadsword. He pulled the hilt into a forty-five-degree angle before pulling the entire sheathe from his belt. His weapon was now a rifle and he had it aimed at Jaune. Jaune charged at him before shouting, "Onyx!" He slid to the ground as Corbett fired, missing him. That's when a dark-blue tipped arrow went down the barrel of his gun and froze the entire barrel in thick ice. Corbett couldn't think about it much before Jaune was back on his feet. He used his left arm to knock his rifle to the side and plunged his blade through his chest. Corbett stared in shock before he coughed off some blood and his eyes glazed over. He dropped his weapon and fell to the ground as Jaune removed his blade from his chest.

Jaune turned to the three remaining Huntsmen-in-training. They were dumbfounded to see that their comrade was taken down in less than a minute. Oliver growled and pointed his dagger at Jaune, "Shoot him, you idiots!"

Miles pointed his handgun at Jaune while Mitchells axes started to mecha shift. The axe heads slid halfway down the shaft and the handles turned ninety degrees to connect with the blade of the axe heads. The remainder of the shafts were now the barrels of his hand guns. The two started to open fire on Jaune with that. Jaune simply called his Semblance, his whole body appeared to be covered in black flames and the bullets were redirected in random directions. They stopped firing and Jaune dismissed his Semblance. He then quick drew with his left hand, and fired all six shots of Souffrance Eternelle. The three were forced to dodge before they all charged Jaune. Oliver had both his sword and dagger ready, Mitchell had both weapons back into their axe forms and with a flick of his wrist, Miles' gun moved ninety degrees to be perfectly straight and a blade had extended from it, creating a short sword.

Jaune holstered his revolver and ran forward to lock blades with Oliver, who had to use his dagger to help support his sword, while Mitchell and Miles tried to attack him with a pincer attack. Jaune grabbed Oliver by his collar and swung him towards Miles, knocking him away before he let go and sent Oliver flying. Jaune continued to spin and held his sword horizontally to stop the two axes from coming down on his head. Mitchell smirked and pulled his triggers. Two bullets shot out of the shafts and sent him back, breaking the deadlock. Jaune was about to engage him again when he heard it.

"Jaune!" he turned to see Onyx with a white tipped arrow. Jaune jumped into the air as he fired. The arrow stuck into the ground, creating a thick mist to act as a smokescreen. Mitchell was blinded and had no idea on what to do. That was until Jaune started to attack him. He was using every skill he had to not get hit by Jaune's blade. Jaune went for a horizontal slash for his throat and Mitchell moved his right axe to stop the blade. He then hooked his other axe on the blade and managed to throw it into the air. He quickly swung with his right axe but Jaune raised his left arm to block it as it was covered in black flames. As soon as the axe hit, it was thrown back and Mitchell felt his arm swing out at high speed before he heard a popping sound. His arm was dislocated and his axe went flying from his grip. Jaune then stomped his foot that was cloaked in his aura and the wind it created blew the mist to their right away. Mitchell looked to see Onyx with his arrow aimed at him. He fired and Mitchell caught the yellow tipped arrow in his shoulder before he felt electricity surging through him. He screamed in pain and that increased when his grey aura shattered. He saw Jaune catch his sword left handed before his right hand shot out to grab his face. Jaune slammed him head first into the ground as hard as he could. As his head broke the ground, Jaune heard a distinct sound of bone breaking. Safe to say he was dead.

Jaune stood back up and turned. He saw that Miles was now charging at him with his short sword. The two had a heated exchange. He was good with a sword but Jaune knew how to use his left hand nearly as well as his right. Miles went for another vertical swing but when his sword was about to meet Jaune's blade, the blade was missing. The weapon continued until the barrel of the handgun was pointed at Jaune's chest. The bullet hit Jaune and he was forced back a couple feet. Miles quickly shifted his weapon into its final mode as he ran towards the distracted swordsman. The weapon looked just like its sword form but the blade was missing. Miles' channeled all his aura into the weapon and a blade of crimson energy was created. He jumped and slashed diagonally across Jaune's chest. He landed in a crouch was sure he just won. Jaune was unmoving until he drew Sommeil Eternel and Miles was staring down the barrel. Jaune pulled the trigger and the floor was painted red. His body fell to the ground shortly after.

Jaune holstered his gun before he rubbed his chest. "Impressive weapon. Too bad that blade was made of aura and not actual energy." Jaune reached down and picked it up. He examined it for a bit before he attached it to the back of his belt. "Might be useful later." Jaune then turned to the last of them.

Oliver was shaking. This masked swordsman just massacred his friends with very little effort. He wanted to run, to try to survive. But what would be the point? He doubted that this monster would just let him go. If he wanted to live he'd have to fight. He got back into his stance and stopped his shaking. Jaune saw this and nodded, "You have guts. Too bad you fucked with the wrong guy." Jaune shifted his flamberge to his right hand and got into his own stance.

The two stood for a second or two until they charged. They two clashed repeatedly, the sounds of metal hitting metal echoing around the forest. Jaune had to admit, this guy was skilled with his weapons. Although, he wasn't completely serious when fighting these four. He wanted to see Onyx's resolve to their cause. So far, he was passing with flying colors but he had one last thing to test. Oliver's aura was low enough now to see how far Onyx would go. Their two swords clashed again but he let Oliver direct his sword towards the ground. Oliver lifted his dagger into the air and was going to drive it into Jaune's exposed neck. That was until three black arrows flew through the air. They hit his wrist, elbow and shoulder of his left arm, in that order with only a second separating the impacts. The arrows shattered his green aura and pierced through his body. He screamed in pain and dropped his dagger as he arm fell uselessly to the side. Jaune channeled his Semblance into his right foot, he kicked the falling dagger and it went flying into his right shoulder. Oliver screamed again and dropped his sword. Jaune grabbed it and crossed it with his own across his neck.

Jaune heard footsteps behind him and he saw Onyx in the corner of his eye. "Jaune." He turned to look into his eyes and saw the determination in them. Jaune nodded and stepped away. He plunged the sword into the ground before sheathing his own. Oliver fell to his knees and looked up as Onyx stepped in front of him. Onyx looked own at him with cold eyes before he split his bow in two. The arms collapsed in on themselves until he was now holding two daggers. He crossed them across his neck like Jaune just did and slashed his throat. Blood sprayed from his neck before he fell to the ground. Onyx sheathed his daggers in their sheathes that were on the back of his belt. He turned to Jaune, "Did I pass?"

Jaune smirked under his mask, "So, you figured it out."

He just raised an eyebrow at Jaune, "I've seen you fight. You were clearly holding back."

Jaune nodded, "True. I wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting into. This was your chance to walk away. But you didn't. So, are you ready?"

He nodded, "I have been for months."

Jaune took out his scroll to send his GPS to Raven before he looked to Onyx. "Bring up the program on your scroll." Onyx did what he was told and the black screen and Grimm skull appeared again. It then uploaded the files it stole from Onyx's scroll to Jaune's before Onyx's scroll started to smoke. He dropped it and looked at Jaune, annoyed. "That is a precaution. Besides, we gotta better one for you." He put his scroll away and Raven's portal opened a few feet away. Jaune nodded his head towards it before they walked through it.

They arrived in a forest clearing and they were met with Raven, with her mask off. "I take it he passed?"

Jaune removed his mask and nodded, "With flying colors." He turned back to Onyx, "This is Raven."

Onyx bowed his head in respect. "A pleasure to finally meet you."

Raven nodded at him, "Same to you." He looked back at her and she got serious. "Now kneel." Onyx looked to Jaune, who nodded. He did as he was told. Raven then spoke up again, "Do you swear to cast off your past? To live for only the Tribe? To serve only the Tribe? To die for the Tribe?"

"I swear to serve the Tribe and by extension, you and Jaune." He said with conviction.

"Then prove it." She handed him the same white bladed dagger she gave to Jaune almost a year ago. Onyx took off his right glove before taking the dagger and cutting his hand. As blood ran from his hand, he clenched his fist and put it to his chest. He stared into her eyes and didn't say a word. Raven watched him like a hawk before she gained a small smile and nodded. Jaune helped him to his feet and he handed Raven the dagger. "Welcome to the Tribe." She said.

"Welcome to Knightingale." Jaune added with a smile and that caused Raven to sigh in annoyance. Onyx tried not to chuckle. Raven then escorted him and Jaune out of the clearing and into the forest. They walked for a few minutes before they came to a cave entrance. They escorted him into it and slowly they made their way into a giant chamber that had dozens of torches lining the walls and was filled with pedestals with Grimm masks on several of them. "These are the remaining masks of the Tribe. They are only given to the strongest and are our highest honor. The ones that are missing are either in the procession of the remaining members or were destroyed. Raven agrees with me that you have earned one."

Onyx looked at them in shock, "Which one is mine?"

"That is for you to find out." Raven said simply and Jaune nodded with her. Onyx looked back at the pedestals. He walked along them looking at the remaining ones. They were all intimidating and gave him a slight chill when he was near them. That was until his eyes landed on a certain mask, it looked like a Beowolf. He walked towards it. He didn't feel intimidated but comforted, like it was calling to him. He reached his hand out to it and the mask was quickly covered in a black miasma. He flinched for a second before he continued forward and placed his hand on top of it. The miasma disappeared and Onyx picked it up. "The Beowolf. It represents speed and the ability to work well with a pack. But they can learn and grow until they become Alphas." Raven said out loud. Onyx turned back around to see Raven and Jaune had placed their masks back on their faces. "Wear it with pride." Raven told him. Onyx looked back down at the mask. His mask. He smiled before he placed it on his face. They were one step closer to fulfilling their plan.

A/N- It's finally here! Sorry for the long wait but I wanted to put all my effort into TES since it was close to the end.
