"Ozpin" The headmistress of Beacon academy walked in, in a hasty manner. It was the middle of the night, so it was strange for the headmistress to still be out and about.

"What is it?" The headmaster was simply pouring himself a cup of coffee but after seeing the manner in which Goodwitch walked, he set his cup down and looked at her.

"You remember those spots in the Emerald Forest where most grimm choose not to go to?"

"Yes. Why?" Ozpin, after all his past lives still couldn't figure out why there were small pockets in the forest where grimm chose not to go.

"Well a research team was sent there with the improved version of the aura detecting system. They figured that maybe, ancient humans had semblances that allowed them to make small pockets around the world where grimm don't go, maybe for village building, camps or for other purposes."

"Go on."

"But what they found, wasn't Aura, it was something else."

Aura was often released in the area surrounding them by humans with an unlocked aura, or if a human with an unlocked aura were to die then the aura would disperse into the atmosphere. Though sometimes, aura would concentrate in certain spots around the world, these spots were important because it helped researchers learn more about early humans and their use of aura.

So the use of aura detection and collection devices was common.

But one thing that was unique were spots that grimm never went to, current aura detection methods couldn't detect aura in those spots, so they had assumed that the aura there was very concentrated, thus making it too unstable to detect, which would explain why grimm tended to avoid those areas and why aura detection and collection devices couldn't pick up any aura.

But one Rusty Cage, an inventor, made a new type of aura detection device that allowed for both the detection and collection of more unstable forms of aura, in the hopes that researchers can finally see what caused the grimm to be repelled from these spots.

Glynda showed Ozpin her tablet scroll, Ozpin looked at the contents. It was a rough image of the thing the aura detection device had found and collected. It was blue in color and it had a certain shape to it that made it look like a flame burning unstably.

"According to what the scientists told me, it's similar to aura, yet incredibly unstable, and it is also much stronger than aura."

Glynda tapped on her scroll, speaking as she did. "They have collected multiple samples of this strange energy for testing. We know it is stronger than aura because of tests like this." She showed the contents of her scroll to Ozpin, this time it displayed a video.

There was few seconds of silence showing but looked to be a metal wire leading to small pile of lightning dust, then suddenly the lightning dust exploded a literal flash of electricity.

Ozpin wasn't surprised at the video, Aura or any external force could do the same and he voiced his opinions.

"Can't aura or any external force for that matter do the same?"

Glynda pulled her scroll away. "That's the thing it requires one tenth the amount you would usually have to use if you used aura. Making it many times more energy efficient when it comes to activating dust. Is this the magic from your time?" Glynda's question made sense, not that it was magic, it just made sense that she asked that question.

"I don't think it's magic, it does not seem like it. Though I'd have to see it for myself, I think we should take a trip to the research facility soon."

"I'll see what I can do with our current schedule." Glynda walked out.


Kakashi opened his eyes, his hand felt warm, and wet. He looked in front of him, and saw Rin, his hand piercing her chest, the Raikiri was still active.

"Kakashi" Rin softly called out.

Kakashi's eyes went wide as tears slowly began to fall.

"Why." Rin asked as tears began to fall from her own eyes

Blood began to drip, then suddenly Rin pulled him into a hug?

Kakashi woke up to the warm feeling of arms wrapped around him, he looked behind him, it was Blake, still asleep. He let out an annoyed sigh and groggily checked his scroll for the time.

'2:32am' Blake was hugging him in her sleep

There was a small gap between the beds of Weiss, Kakashi and Blake, this small gap could easily be crossed by simply rolling over.

He slowly removed Blake's arms from his Person. And sat up, there was no point in sleeping after he had already been woken up. He stood up and walked over to the door. He twisted the door knob and walked outside.


It had been two days since Kakashi decided to fill the rest of team in on his information, and classes were taking place. Classes for Weiss Schnee were a good thing, but one class stood out to her as the bane of her existence, that being Grimm Studies. It was boring even for her, because rather than teach anything about grimm, Professor Port would rather ramble on about stories from his past, the only time this class actually was in any way helpful was the very rare occasion where Port would let the students go out into the Emerald Forest to fight grimm. But right now wasn't one of those times, right now they were all listening to Port and his stories.

But it was not only Port that the young Schnee had to deal with, it was also Jaune and his attempts to get her to go with him on a date. She did her best to ignore him and simply stared at the clock.

"… I even got tickets to that new Spruce Willis movie (The one exception to my rule)"

"… Then maybe after we can study together and-" The bell rang.

Weiss finally perked up and looked behind here to see Kakashi and the rest of her team stand up as Port dismissed the class.

"Weiss? Did you hear what I said?"

Weiss stood up and began to walk away "No, no, and yes."

Yang made her way out of the class and passed by Jaune, giving him a light tap on the back and saying "One day" as she walked away

Kakashi was in the locker area, he took his Konoha uniform off and placed it in the locker, before taking the Anbu Uniform and putting it on.

The thing about Beacon locker rooms were that they weren't separated by gender, but there was some sort of unspoken contract between the men and woman to change on opposite sides of the room where they can't see each other, as to not have any awkward moments. So he spoke up to his teammates who were on the other side.

"Are you girls done?"

"Not yet!" Was the response from Ruby.

Kakashi placed the metal guards on his arm, and placed the sheathed Katana behind his back. He took the inu mask and attached it to his side as he didn't need it yet.

As he finished dressing up, his team walked up to him, they were all in different outfits from usual.

Ruby wore a long sleeved grey shirt under a black pinafore, she wore a red skirt and a part of her cloak wrapped around her neck like a scarf, her footwear remained the same.

Yang wore a cream colored vest with a low cut black undershirt, under the vest was a black miniskirt, she wore stocking that were attached to her miniskirt by garter belts, she also wore ankle boots.

Blake wore a white V-neck crop top shirt with long sleeves, she wore black pants which had weird fabrics and a belt attached to it.

Weiss's outfit was relatively simple compared to the others, only consisting of a black and white coat and other simple clothing.

"Well"

Kakashi took a look at this teammates

"It looks like I'm severely underdressed for the occasion."

"Awww, Kakashi's jealous of our outfits." Yang mocked Kakashi while giving him a smirk.

"Well I don't want to get out-dressed by the rest of you" Kakashi said in a joking manner with an eye smile. "Go ahead and wait outside for me."

"Ooo, Kakashi has something other than grey and green flak jackets?" This time it was Ruby mocking him.

"You'll see" Kakashi waved dismissively at them as they all walked out.

Kakashi made sure nobody was watching, looking around for any camera too, luckily there were none, it wasn't uncommon that students specifically the men, would place cameras in here to catch videos and images of women for later use. Yang once caught a camera on top of one of the lockers, it had the name 'Russel Thrush written right on it.' Though Beacon didn't have any rules on peeping (though it did have rules against recording), at least when it came to the locker rooms, Beacon also didn't punish people from taking revenge against any peepers.

But after assessing that there weren't any cameras, he warped out a single small scroll from the kamui dimension and unsealed its contents. It was the redesigned Konoha uniform and the hokage haori and kimono.

He took off the grey flak jacket from his anbu uniform and placed it in his locker, he then took a black flak jacket with "Sixth Fire" written on the back in his world's language, and put it on. His flak jacket was different from everyone else's (which were green) since he was the acting Hokage. He took the red armband with the Uzioshio symbol on it and wrapped it around his left bicep, he contemplated putting on the haori or kimono of the Sixth Hokage, but he decided not to, it was too flashy, maybe one day.

He walked out of the locker room and faced his team, they all looked at his outfit.

And they all sweatdropped.

"Another flak jacket?" Ruby whispered

"That's his third one." Weiss whispered

"I mean it looks a little different." Blake responded

"Yeah, just a little, but that's not the point." Yang whispered back

"I can hear you, you know." Kakashi told his team.

Yang pointed at Kakashi "Well you can't really blame us!" Yang paused to take one more good look at Kakashi. "Seriously, do you have a fetish for flak jackets or something?" Yang said with a smirk "It's only fair that we give you a lot of flak for it." Yang grinned

The entire team groaned at the horrible attempt at comedy.

"Come on, cut me some flak" Yang's grin widened and the team's groans loudened.

"Let's just go." Weiss was annoyed

"Great Idea." Blake said sarcastically.

"Alright, we all know the plan, Yang you go talk to your friend, Ruby and Weiss will go to the CCT, Blake and I will go to the White Fang meeting." The entire team nodded as they went their separate ways.

Blake and Kakashi began to walk away from the rest, they reached an airship going out of Beacon, it was around 5:30pm, and Kakashi had planes on stopping by on Harry so he can pay him for the information, it was actually from him where he got half of the White Fang meeting locations, the other half came from his very own investigations.

He then looked at Blake and remembered the events of the night before, when she hugged him in her sleep. Blake noticed Kakashi's stare and immediately looked away in embarrassment.

"Hey Blake." Kakashi looked to the cat faunus.

"Yes?" Blake was still looking away but then gathered the courage to look back at Kakashi.

"We really need to talk about what you do in your sleep."

Blake looked alarmed. "What do you mean? What do I do? Do I sleep walk?" Well considering her past she wasn't exactly surprised if she did

"No. That I can understand, but hugging me in the middle of the night? That's just rather inappropriate don't you think?"

Blake's face went beet red as she embarrassedly looked away from Kakashi. "Wh-what?"

"Yes, last night I woke up to your arms wrapped around me. I'd prefer if you didn't do that next time, it's already bad enough that my bed is squeezed between yours and Weiss's beds."

Blake looked hurt by the last comment, she looked at the ground, and seemed rather bashful. "Do you not like sleeping near me?"

Kakashi then realized what he had implied, he gave Blake a nervous eye smile. "No, it's just rather cramped."

It was cramped

The room was made for four people and even with the bunk bed setup for the girls, Kakashi's bed in the middle still had to be squeezed in between two other beds.

'Jiraiya-sama would love the setup' Kakashi thought amusedly.

Blake was still trying not to look at Kakashi as the airship ride continued.

As they got out of the airship after a very awkward ride, they began to walk to the meeting location. Kakashi took a look at his scroll

"Shouldn't be that far from here, if my information is correct then it should start at around 7pm so we still have a lot of time to kill. He checked his scroll to confirm the time. "I do have to meet up with an associate of mine, come on let's go."

Blake followed Kakashi as he walked, she noticed the symbols on the back of Kakashi's flak jacket. 'Looks like Ancient Mistralian. Sixth Fire?'

"Kakashi?" She asked as they continued to walk

"Hm?"

"What does 'Sixth Fire' mean?" She pointed to the back of his flak jacket.

"Oh, it says…" Kakashi though carefully of what he should say next, in reality the words on his back said "Sixth Fire" in relation to the fact that he was hokage which made it different from the normal Konoha flak jacket. He wasn't sure if he wanted to tell Blake exactly what it meant though, as "Hokage" may sound too important, but at the same time he could just say it was a rank, which wasn't a complete lie.

"It's my rank."

Kakashi looked back in front of him and continued walking normally

"Oh, I see"

They rounded a corner and they continued walking for a few more minutes, getting a few occasional glances and stares from people around them, Blake figured they were people who knew Kakashi due to his sparring matches with Pyrrha and the others.

"In all honesty, it's kinda annoying" Kakashi said all of the sudden, he must have noticed her look at the people staring at them. "Sometimes they even ask for a picture."

"I can see why it can be annoying"

Kakashi suddenly stopped walking.

"We're here." He looked to his right, it was a back alley, Blake followed him into it as they eventually reached an area behind some buildings, it was homeless camp, the people here were mostly faunus, as it was usually faunus that were in poverty anyway, since it was hard for them to get any money due to people not usually employing them.

Kakashi took a second to look around before approaching someone who was talking to group of people, Kakashi pat the man on the back.

"Harry."

The man took a second to look at Kakashi before smiling and walking to a large tent.

"Who's that?" Blake asked.

"His name is Harry, he's my information broker, I pay him he gives me info or points me to someone who has it. He has some sort of homeless network from what he's told me." Blake nodded her head and watched as Harry came back out with a slip of paper in his hand.

Blake got a good look at Harry, he was a dog faunus, with black dog like ears on his head, he was slim with a slight amount of muscle tone, he had light brown hair, blue eyes and some stubble on his face.

"Who's she? Girlfriend?"

"Wha-"She felt here face heat up at the sudden question.

"No." Kakashi calmly and succinctly stated. "She's my teammate."

Harry handed Kakashi the slip of paper, Kakashi pocketed it. He then pulled out some lien from his wallet and handed it to harry.

"Nice seeing you Harry"

"You too, lad. Maybe we can grab a drink sometime."

Kakashi nodded and waved at Harry "One day." He then walked out of the camp with Blake following him. Kakashi took a right turn which was opposite from where they came from.

"Blake you know you really do remind me of myself a few years ago."

Blake as walking right next to Kakashi and was surprised at the sudden statement

"Well people already draw enough similarities between us to the point where there are rumors spreading that we're dating."

"Are you bothered by those rumors?" She shyly asked.

"Not at all, people have talked behind my back about things a lot worse than some false romance." Kakashi thought back to the times when he first killed Rin, many rumors spread about him, and it didn't help when he had to kill traitorous rogue ninja, and it was because of these things that he got the name 'Friend Killer Kakashi' those rumors and that name stuck around late into his Anbu years.

"Like what?" Blake suddenly asked

Kakashi let out a simple answer "I'd rather not say."

Kakashi took a look around. "We're he-"

A high pitched bark cut him off. He looked down to see a small puppy, a husky to be exact looking back at him.

Blake immediately got behind Kakashi in fear.

The dog started to whimper.

"Looks like it was left behind here by its owner." He picked the puppy up and smiled at it. He gave the puppy an eye smile as it began to bark happily, Kakashi had a soft spot for dogs.

"Sadly, you can't come with me." He put the puppy down as it began to whimper in a sad manner.

"Come on, let's keep going."

But before he continued to walk, he took a small black food pill from his pouch and gave it to the puppy, they were safe for animals as well.

He then continued to walk with Blake beside him.

"I didn't know you like dogs."

"I owned a few for a good amount of time, trained them myself."

Based on the way Kakashi had phrased what he said, she assumed that the dogs had died, she hated those little bastards, but she still felt bad for her leader.

Blake knew that there was much more than meets the eye when it came to her leader, everyone in her team knew that. On the surface, Kakashi was a cool, calm and quiet badass, but living with him and seeing him on a daily basis showed mostly otherwise, he blatantly read smut, she still remembered the day when everybody first saw him read Ninjas of Love. He also had a lazy demeanor but even with how lazy he acted he still somehow got top grades in class. Sometimes, Blake would also catch Kakashi waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat, she had chalked that up to nightmares, but whatever he could be dreaming about was still a mystery.

Though, even if he had all these flaws there were still a lot of good things about Kakashi, his skill and power in battle was second to none when it came to first year students. Admittedly he was also rather attractive even with the mask on which garnered him a lot of attention from the female students of Beacon and even a few male ones. Kakashi was also not bothersome at all as he was mostly quiet.

Kakashi suddenly stopped walking, he looked to his left where a building stood, between two buildings was a back alley and on the wall of that back alley was a mark, Blake recognized it, and it was the mark of the White Fang.

"This is it, though we still have an hour till the meeting starts." Kakashi disappeared in front of her eyes, she looked around her in shock to find Kakashi looking down on her from the rooftop of a building opposite to the ones they were supposed to infiltrate.

Blake jumped from wall to wall to get to Kakashi's position.


The clone was on its way to the big White Fang base, at the moment the clone was transformed to look like Sasuke, he was jumping building to building and quickly making progress. He stopped when he saw a hologram.

He observed it, it was a hologram of General James Ironwood of the Atlesian military. He looked to be demonstrating something in front of a crowd.

"The AK-130 has been a standard security model of Remnant for several years, and they have done a fine job. Wouldn't you agree? Wouldn't you agree?" The audio seemed to glitch at the last part causing it to repeat a line, though the robots suddenly bowed

"But... the kingdom of Atlas is a kingdom of innovation, and 'fine'... Well, that's just not good enough, is it? Presenting... the Atlesian Knight-200!" The doors to the cases roll up, and six newer looking robots that are bulkier and shinier stand at attention before kicking down the AK-130s. The audience clapped.

The Kakashi clone took interest to the demonstration so he stood by to watch

"Smarter, sleeker, and admittedly, a little less scary. These models will become active later this year, but they won't be alone! Now, the Atlesian Military has always supported the idea of removing men from the dangers of the battlefield. However, there are still many situations that will undoubtedly require... a human touch."

'What could this human touch be?' Kakashi asked to no one in particular in his mind

"So, our kingdom's greatest minds, in cooperation with the Schnee Dust Company, are proud to introduce... the Atlesian Paladin!"

Ironwood's hologram suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a giant behemoth of a robot, it was familiar.

'That's the robot I saw at the base. I was right, it was stolen Atlesian technology.'

"Now we couldn't bring them here today, but…"

'Sasuke' decided to continue moving.

Down below a young orange haired, totally normal, girl stood with her friend, watching the demonstration go on.

'Sasuke' moved quickly, as he had the perfect plan to cause as much chaos in the base as possible.

He had had the kama modified greatly, the sickle part could now extend and retract at the push of a button, this allowed for better range and better mobility, similar to green haired woman he had fought at Tukson's book store.

Though the kama still didn't transform into a gun or anything, he was still content with the weapon.


They had been sitting on a rooftop for the better part of an hour. Kakashi decided he was getting hungry so he took out a small pouch that held his black food pellets.

He pulled down his mask and ate one.

"I still can't get used to seeing you without the mask." Blake examined Kakashi's face with a slight tint of red on her face.

"That's because, I don't do it very often." What Kakashi said was true, Kakashi hadn't shown them his true face since a few months ago.

Kakashi pushed the pouch of food pellets to Blake. "Want some?"

Blake got a single food pill and ate it.

Blake began to cough "Water…" She whispered in a raspy voice. Kakashi threw his water canteen at her, she opened it and began to glug down on the water within.

"These don't taste very good." She passed the canteen and the pill pouch back to Kakashi

Kakashi let out a single laugh. "They aren't meant to. But they are packed with nutrients and powerful stimulants, these can keep you fighting for hours or even days."

Kakashi ate another one before closing the pouch and putting in back into his accessories pouch.

Blake did feel a good increase to her energy, but she didn't think it was worth the horrible taste in her mouth. Seriously? How did Kakashi eat it without any visible reaction?

"I can already tell what you're thinking. After you eat them enough, you start to get used to the taste."

"Do you have a-"

"Mind reading semblance?" Kakashi continued

"No, it's just that people are predictable." Kakashi deadpanned

Blake smirked at Kakashi. The sun had already set. Kakashi gazed at what was left of the orange light, and so did Blake, Kakashi quickly turned back to the back alley where the White Fang meeting would soon be held as he noticed a few people beginning to enter.

"Looks like they're starting to accept people, though I think we should wait a bit longer."

Blake nodded but it looked like she still had a few questions.

"What is it?"

"How do you expect to get in? They only allow faunus in."

Kakashi wordlessly crossed his fingers as he was engulfed in a plume of smoke. When the smoke disappeared, Kakashi was revealed to have 2 small dog ears protruding from his head that flopped to the side of his face.

"This is how" Kakashi calmly looked at the actual faunus with a bored expression.

She remembered that Kakashi could transform.

But there was something about seeing Kakashi with faunus features that made Blake feel a bit weird, she didn't know what it was, but she felt something. What was the word for it? Ah yes, cute. Kakashi looked cute.

Seeing some like Kakashi with two floppy dog ears was somehow very cute, and she looked at him with an expression of a slight amount of joy.

"Hm?" Kakashi had noticed her stare.

She jerked her head to the right to make it look like she wasn't looking in the first place.

"Nothing."

"Right." Blake just knew that there was smirk on that smug bastard's handsome face.

Kakashi began to stretch his arms, his Katana was now sheathed to his side rather than his back due to this uniform not having a place to but the katana on the back area. He looked to Blake.

"Considering the fact that I'm pretty well known throughout Vale, I think I have to change a few things about my general looks."

He took of his mask, ruffled his hair a bit, flattening out, making it look like Ozpin's hair if it were longer and messier.

"Nobody should recognize me like this. Now, it's about time we get going." He jumped down from the building.

His hair was already usually messy. Especially so since he never wore his Konoha forehead protector anymore, when he did, he oriented his hair to spike to the side and to not fall downward, as to not cover the symbol on the headband.

But without it, his hair covered a small portion of his upper face, but now that he ruffed his hair even more, the usually spiky hair was now shaggy and now covered up a good amount of his upper face and sides.

Blake saw the temporary style and realized that the mask served two purposed, not only did it hide your face and therefore your emotions, but if the mask is used enough then you would look unrecognizable without it. Though Blake did prefer Kakashi's usual hairstyle over this one, not that she would admit it of course.

The two walked inside the alley, where a man welcomed them wordlessly and handed them two grimm masks.

Kakashi put it on. 'Guess we'll both be wearing these masks.' He was referring to his clone, who would also be wearing this exact same mask.

The two then walked into the building where a goon was directing the newer people to an area separate to those who were in uniform and already part of the criminal organization.

They looked to the White Fang lieutenant on the stage, who then gave a speech, and after said speech, revealed Roman Torchwick.

"Change of plans" Kakashi whispered to Blake's human set of ears. "We're capturing Torchwick."


'It's time' The clone stood up from the tree branch he was sitting on, putting on his grimm mask, he jumped down. 'Sasuke' walked up to the gate where two guards stood. One of them saw Kakashi's approach and noticed the ununiformed body and the lack of faunus features.

He advanced towards Kakashi aggressively.

"Hey pal, what do you think you're doing?" He was met with the gaze of the Sharingan, knocking him out cold.

"What the-" The other one was met with the exact same gaze, Kakashi then took his kama and slit the throats of those he knocked out, before running into compound, without any care for stealth.

His goal was right in front of him, the paladins, he ran into the first building, with dozens upon dozens of goons, and with them were two paladins with the White Fang symbol painted across their limbs.

"Stop him!" One of the guards shouted, and almost immediately, every single member of the White Fang came at him, they had made a big mistake, as it would be the last mistake they would ever make.

The first head fell, 'Sasuke' retracted the sickle of his first kama, as he extended the sickle of the other one and spun a single time, everyone within a three meter radius was beheaded. Normally, with aura, the members would just be blasted away to the side, but Kakashi imbued wind chakra into his kama, and though he wasn't as proficient with wind release as he was with lightning release, it was still a lot more subtle than lightning chakra.

A bullet whizzed past him, embedding itself into another man's chest. Kakashi looked to his side and saw the man with the gun, with many more approaching with similar guns approaching, Kakashi extended his Kama, aiming towards the man's shoulder, it hit, implanting itself into it, Kakashi pushed the button his Kama causing it to retract, dragging the member with it.

Kakashi removed the sickle from the man's shoulder and slit his throat, he then used the now limp body as a shield from all the incoming bullets, before taking the man's pistol from its holster and shooting those that shot at him, every bullet hit, right on the head. Though they weren't dead, thanks to aura and the fact that Kakashi couldn't channel chakra through guns.

Behind him, a man attempted to slash his sword on Kakashi's back, Kakashi responded by sliding to the left and stabbing the blade of his weapon right up the man's chin, the end of the blade peering on top of the man's skull.

He removed it from the man's head before kicking the dead body into a group already approaching him. When the body landed they noticed three paper bombs (Which were rather common in this world) attached to it. The bombs exploded either knocking out or killing most of the group.

He blocked a punch from a man to his right, grabbing it, then twisting it, breaking the man's arm. Kakashi much like all the others, executed the man. He let go of the man's arm, he then approached the Paladin, and reached into his pouch, pulling out a small bomb, which he had bought from Simon, an associate of Harry.

He climbed up to the back of the paladin and placed it. He pressed the small button on it, it then began to beep. Kakashi jumped away from it as the beeping slowly increased in frequency, before the bomb exploded in a glorious explosion, taking the lives of a dozen or so fang who weren't lucky enough to escape the area.

Kakashi was soaring in the air, looking for his next target, he found one and used wind chakra to propel him downwards. He crashed on the man's back and plunged his blade into his neck

Kakashi used the blunt end of his other weapon to knock out another goon coming from his side, more and more members approached, he let out a sigh, one that definitely wouldn't come out of Sasuke's mouth, as they all came at him.

He ducked under a strike aimed a him, causing the soldier to hit another member. Kakashi sliced at knees of the member, he stood up and kicked the man into the air. The member was soaring through the air, Kakashi kicked another member on the throat, stunning him, he then cut him down swiftly. He extended the sickle, and caught the body of the White Fang soldier still in the air and swung the body down into another group of soldiers rushing at him.

He then ran to the next Paladin and prepared his bomb.


The real Kakashi was currently jumping car to car, as he led the giant mech to the rendezvous point.

"Remind me how we got in this situation." Blake asked as she continued jumping, the paladin was slowly gaining ground on them, so they sped up.

"Torchwick, recognized you, we cut the lights, he got into the giant mech suit and now we're running."

He had called Ruby, Yang and Weiss who were already nearby, in fact Yang was trailing behind the Torchwick, yet Weiss was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

Normally, Kakashi wouldn't be running, but he had to find out the capabilities of the Paladin, if the White Fang had many of these in store, he would have to figure out its capabilities in a prolonged fight, but then he noticed the fact that Torchwick was using the Paladin to crush and throw away the cars on the freeway.

"We need to get away from the civilians!" Kakashi checked his scroll and saw that Ruby was under them. "Come on!" Kakashi yelled as jumped to the right.

"Suiton: Mizurappa" (Water Release: Wild Water Wave)

The water that came out of Kakashi's mouth came barreling at the Paladin, washing it away, making it hit the hard-light dust panels of the freeway, breaking them.

Kakashi threw a Kunai with a wire attached and threw it at the Paladin, making him fall with it. Blake followed suit. As he was falling, he pulled at the kunai precisely, removing it from the Paladin. He landed on the ground, Blake landed next to him.

Yang landed right next to them. "Where's Weiss?" She asked

As if on cue, she landed right next to the four of them.

"Well, the whole team's here, how 'bout we kick some robot butt!" Yang slammed her fists together.

The team wordlessly nodded.

Kakashi unsheathed his Katana and stared down at the Robot, gripping it tight, before holding the sword above his shoulder, ready to strike. Ruby though, was the first to attack, she rushed forwards, using her semblance to boost her, while also shooting multiple times to build up speed using the recoil of Crescent Rose. She struck the leg of the paladin, making it falter slightly in its stance.

Weiss summoned a glyph under Ruby, increasing her jump height as she let out a single strike on the Paladin's arm before landing.

"Weiss, Twin Execution." Weiss nodded at Kakashi command, as she put Myrtenaster forward and summoned four glyphs on opposing directions around the Paladin. Kakashi rushed forward and jumped on glyph, Weiss did the same but instead jumped to a glyph opposite from Kakashi. They both then leapt at the Paladin with their blades at the ready, striking as they reached it.

Roman grumbled to himself.

But the attack didn't stop there, Kakashi landed on an upper glyph, while Weiss landed on a lower one, they both did the same attack multiple times at incredible speeds, appearing like white streaks of light due to the speed the attacks were going.

The glyphs eventually disappeared as they landed with a slide.

They looked at their work and saw many deep cuts and scratches on the Paladin's armor but no significant damage.

"Looks like attacks like that don't work very well against it."

Roman suddenly fired a round from the massive gun arm of the Paladin, it shot forward at incredible speeds, Kakashi dove to the side, while Weiss jumped backwards and landed on a glyph.

"Ladybug" Kakashi wasn't a big fan of the name, Ruby had come up with it since she apparently didn't like 'Dual Murder'

Ruby and Blake nodded to each other as they rushed forward at the now distracted Roman

Ruby shot once and used her Semblance to boost forward, cutting at the crotch area of the Paladin as she slid behind it, she fired again, this time getting at the legs at the same time Blake did, they both did this again multiple times, distracting Torchwick from the attack that was being prepared.

"Are you sure about this Yang?" Kakashi asked the blonde with a worried voice.

"Oh yeah, just don't make it as strong as the last one."

"If you say so." Kakashi began kneading together chakra in his hand, he made the chakra spin and with that the Rasengan formed, a slightly smaller version of it though.

Yang smiled at him as if telling him not to worry.

Kakashi slammed the slightly smaller Rasengan at Yang's stomach.

She lurched forward with an audible groan. She was sent backwards the blue ball on her stomach expanded before finally popping as Yang rolled on the ground a little. Her hair glowed a bright yellow, and her eyes burned with anger.

"Hey, that hurt." Yang joked

"You asked for it" Yang shot Kakashi a smirk as she jumped on top of the Paladin started pummeling it with incredible strength, bending and contorting the metal with each Punch.

The legs were now starting to malfunction as well due to the constant strikes from Ruby and Blake

Roman had enough, he expertly moved the controls and suddenly the Paladin kicked both Ruby and Blake, before launching forward and slamming Yang onto a pillar.

Rocket pods appeared on its shoulder, two rockets fired out from them, all aimed at Ruby who was just getting up.

But right before they were able to hit her, Weiss fired a round of Ice dust at the ground, blocking the missiles. Kakashi sprang into action, gripping his katana tight as he jumped on top of the Paladin. He channeled a large amount of lightning chakra as he would with a Raikiri then imbued it into his sword, turning it a pale blue.

Kakashi sliced at the rocket pods, separating them from the Paladin. Kakashi then jumped down, implanting his sword onto the back of the paladin as he did, placing a large cut on its back, before bouncing off and landing right next to Blake. The large cut had exposed a small power core.

"Focus your attacks on that core!" Kakashi commanded "Ruby, Weiss, slow it down. Yang, Blake follow my lead."

Weiss summoned a glyph in front of Ruby as she fired once with crescent rose, the bullet infused with the ice dust seemed to multiply, Ruby fired again and again as all the rounds began to hit the Paladin's legs, incasing them in ice.

Blake, Yang and Kakashi all ran at the Paladin.

"Yang, once Blake and I cut the power, capture Roman in any way you can."

"Got it"

Yang jumped on top of the Paladin, while Blake and Kakashi got on the back, unleashing a flurry of strikes at the core, causing the Paladin to power down.

Roman slammed the buttons and levers but the Paladin wouldn't respond. Kakashi and Blake jumped away from the Paladin, as Yang with a single strike obliterated the Paladin.

Roman was now just less than twenty meters in front of them.

Yang fired a single shot from her gauntlet.

But suddenly that same Neapolitan themed girl from the docks showed up and blocked the shot with her parasol. She brought it back up and smiled at the group.

Kakashi then noticed something.

They were illusions, they had taken the fireball caused by blocking Yang's shot as a cover to escape and replace themselves with illusions.

Yang rushed forward and sure enough the illusions shattered when she attempted to hit them.

A bullhead unexpectedly took off nearby, with Torchwick and the Girl smiling at them, the doors then closed.

"They're not getting away this time."

Kakashi threw a kunai with wire attached to it at the bullhead, it hit, Kakashi pulled and grappled himself on the side of the bullhead.

Kakashi used his Raikiri imbued sword and with four swift and powerful slices, he cut a square hole into the bullhead. He entered through the hole he had created

Seeing both the girl and Roman sat on a seat. The girl attempted to attack him, but Kakashi cast a powerful genjutsu on her, knocking her out cold.

Kakashi then turned to face Roman.

"Hey, we're friends, right? We've known each other for months. Come on… How much lien do you want-He was launched out the hole Kakashi had made, Kakashi grabbed the girl and jumped out, the pilot hadn't even realized what had happened.

Roman was falling at high speeds, but before he could hit the ground and have his life be put to an end, a ribbon wrapped around his waist as we was just about to hit the ground. He looked behind him to see Team White Knight standing triumphantly on top of a building, with that bastard Kakashi carrying neo on top of his shoulders. The yellow one jumped down and all he could remember was the silhouette of a fist before finally blacking out.


Hi, it's been awhile, hope you liked this chapter, also is anyone else hyped for Volume 8? I know I am, I mean sure some plot points were kinda fucked up and ran into the ground in the recent volumes, but V6 and V7 were at least a 7/10 for me, so hopefully Volume 8 is as good if not better. Anyway if you have any thoughts on this chapter or the story as a whole, go ahead and leave a review.
