"Argh!" A line of seven Red Scarves soldiers fell backward, a large red gash across their chests, groaning as they die by the supernatural flames. The wolf smiles and licks their lips of blood. Catalaya's wolf remembers the first time it awoke to the world as it cuts down a dozen more attackers. What a strange day it was.

27 Years ago, Durovian Monk Temple on the edge of the Black Onyx Territory

"Black Flame, are you okay?"Whose voice is that? Who am I for that matter?"Step back, Jinsè. Something isn't right with your sister." A gruff voice said, the sound of metal scraping metal accompanied the voice. She suddenly felt the urge to strangle the voice, yet, let it subside. The unnamed girl opened her eyes, eyes that weren't hers and looked up at the burly man in front of her.

He was tanned skinned, a large scruffy beard rested on his face, and he wore strange metallic armor and lwathers, all of it painted black and red. "State your name, Spirit. Leave my daughter's body." Glancing to the left the spirit?Am I a spirit?Saw a teenage boy with golden eyes and hair staring worriedly at her.

"I-I don't know my name." She said stuttering.

"Where am I? Who am I? Who are you people?" She was panicking.

"By the Gods! What went wrong!?" A tall woman behind her screeched, tears threatening to spill.

"I think I know whats wrong." The buff man spoke soothingly to the woman and boy. His hands gave off a light green glow that immediately soothed the girls worries.

The man's eyes widen,"Black Flame is fine. She merely sleeps behind this one's eyes." The three others, including the one who is in control of the girl's body, were all confused. "Darling," the gruff man spoke to the woman,"the damage and magical output of the sword has awoken her beast. A strange one at that." For hours the three beings tried and failed to awaken who they called "Black Flame" from inside her. "You need a name." Jinsè said to her. "Ana?" She shook her head. "Daisy." A grimace.

The door clicked and the still unnamed girl jumped and yipped in both fear and warning. It was only Jinsè's mother. "Know that I've been around you for so long," she spoke as she placed a plate of cookies in front of the kids. "I'd say you're more of a jackal than a wolf."

Jinsè jumped up,"That's it! You're name will be Jackal." The girl shook her head, "Jakal."

Jinsè chuckled, "Fine.Jakalit is." The moment the newly named Jakal smiled she began convulsing.

"Jakal! What's wrong?!"

Jinsè shouted, "Mom!

Jakal distinctively remembers the fear running through her mind, the fear of never seeing her new friends. The next moment all she saw was darkness, nothing else surrounded her expect unfiltered black. "Mom? What happened?" A voice, her voice but not at the same time. She looked up as a slight fog rolled in and she was able to watch what was happening on the outside, "Ember! Sweetheart I'm glad you're okay." It was cold suddenly, Jakal had dark thoughts run through her head.These aren't mine. Their hers, but why.

She learned, through observance, that despite how welcome she was treated, her second half, Black Flame was in a different spot. She was hated by all exept two of her siblings and her father wanted her to be nothing more than a weapon. She felt warm as her brother no-their brother hugged them, making the darkness and anger fade for a little while.

It wasn't often she was let out, in honesty she didn't mind nor want to be released after she saw just how bad Little Ember, as she calls Black Flame, was treated. Her status only made her a target, her age made her subject to physical abuse at her father's hand. Her gender just made things even worse, she was to marry one day, for money for the protection of her people. Neither Jakal nor Black Flame agreed. Jakal convinced Jinsè to teach them to fight, many different styles would be placed in her knowledge.

The days were brighter when ever Jinsè was around. His golden visage bringing a smile to anyone he met. Especially the poor wolf who wanted only to impress her father and gain his love. Inside, Jakal was well nourished through her studies, the beastial counterpart flourished and grew strong. The bond between the girls stronger than any had ever seen, especially in regards to how well they fought together. All was good, right until the day they encountered a group of Fallen Angels.

One in particular had became her greatest friend, a person who didn't want for anything by using her status as Cheiftain's daughter, who only ished to play with someone who understand them. The second became Jinsè's lover, a pairing Jakal found odd at first, but learned to enjoy, seeing how happy it made her brother. One day it changed, Jinsè was murdered, by the Fallen who had become his lover. Her little ember began breaking down, she wouldn't eat or sleep.

All day, she trained, no more no less. The loss of her golden lion of a brother hurt her the most. Jakal found herself being affected worse by the thoughts and emotions in her counterparts mind. The anger, the fear, the bloodlust warped her mind, made her no more than a savage. She tried to do everything she could for her ember, but lost all semblance of her kind energetic self when she snapped and inadvertently killed their best friend.

Both were changed that day. Into something frightening beyond measure. Her little embee became an emotionless warrior and Jakal was swallowed by the darkness in both their hearts, becoming something that would frighten her past self of they were to meet. When in truth, she'd kill that version of her for being so weak and pathetic in her attempts to protect ther ember.

Not that she saw anything wrong with it of course.

Present Time

Jakal licked the blood off ofBalanced Insanitybefore walking towards the door to the next part of the safe room. She grabbed a machine gun from one of her victims along the way, pulling up her half mask, smiling as she scented the blood on it and her clothing. Thoughts of the ice mage surrounding her mind.

Team RWBY

"Is Cat going to be okay?" Ruby asked as she scanned the hall throughher sniper scope. "Weiss? Are you listening?" She turned around and Weiss was staring at the door behind them with a dismal look. "She'll be fine, Ruby." She looked at her concerned team, "Just fine." Weiss walked ahead of the group with grim determination. They quickly came upon a hall that led directly to the safe.

Thirteen gaurds stood menacingly in front of them, armed with obvious magical weapons, behind them, locked behind steel bars was a metal safe containing the torso peice. What worried Weiss however was that the leader carried no weapon, from what they could tell. His stance was proud, lazy, all around cocky. "The one in front is too confident." She said aloud to herself. "What's that got to do with anything?" Yang asked as she checked her ammo packs.

"It means either he's stupid. Or he's more dangerous than he looks." Blake said in a monotone voice. "Weiss, your most likely to be the only one who can face him." Weiss nodded,"Yang?" Yang looked towards her,"You need to get through those bars. If you can blast your aura the heat hould be able to melt the safe open without trying to find the combination." Ruby nodded,"Delta form 6, then?" She asked her team who nodded in response. Yang held her hand out in a fist,"Don't just leave me here." Weiss rolled her eyes and placed her fist in front of Yang's, Ruby and Blake doing the same on the sides. "Stay alive girls. We do this everyday, so go kick some ass yeah?" Ruby said.

Weiss smirked,"That, I can do." The broke the circle and split up to do their jobs.

Ruby and Blake rushed the gaurds, Ruby using her speed to dodge attacks faster than the eye could follow. Blake used her shadow clones to distract the leader of the group, subtly moving him towards Weiss and away from Yang. Yang, a person who never backs down from a fight, pushes head on through whatever stragglers try to stop her, using her enhanced strength and the flames her body produced to break through the bars ever so slowly. Weiss however was having a little less success. The leader was dodging everything she threw at him, all with a cocky smirk that was slowly pudding Weiss off to new levels. "Are you really what the universe gives us?" He says in a voice raw with age.

At Weiss's silent confusion he spoke again, "You really can't be the new Winter Knight. Pathetic."

He threw a desk towards her, Weiss sliced it in half and dodged his right hook. "You would know about not meeting expectations wouldn't you." She said with a smirk as his eye twitched in supressed rage. Weiss kept taunting the man before her, enjoying how as time went on he threw more caution to the wind. Glancing back she was glad to see how well the other three were doing. Yang had already made it through the next layer of bars and was blasting security robots with her flames. With Ruby and Blake right behind her, blocking the group from getting close.

"That's it!" Her opponent shouted as Weiss lazily dodged another object. "Looks like I have to teach you a lesson you bitch." He growled out as a green auru surrounded him. He grew from a unimpressive 5 feet 2 to a whopping 8 feet tall. His muscles grew huge, the same with his head, Weiss could feel the strength of his magic increasing rapidly as well. "I am Tor. The head of the Red Scarves, I will not allow a child such as yourself to taunt me any further."

In Tor's hand, he formed an orb made from the remaining scraps of metal he's thrown at her. "Καλά σκατά." She says just as she's hit with the orb at full speed. Weiss is flung through the drywall behind her, she could here Ruby cry out, "Weiss!"

The ice mage groans as she pulls herself from the rubble,"Don't stop. I'm fine." I'm nowhere near fine.I think I almost snapped my neck. As Weiss rubbed her sore body, she found she activated her ice shield just in time. She most likely could've died.

She was already drowsy, most definitely concussed, she barely ducked in time to avoid another orb aiming for her head. Summoning her rapier she began blocking, slicing, eventually sending a few of them back to Tor. "Weiss! Keep him there a little longer." Blake said into the earpiece, "We're having some difficulties." Weiss scoffed, "Worse than a fucking mini metal manipulating giant?" She deflected a swarm of shrapnel. "Robots." With a glance of surprise ahe found it to be true, that cost her dearly.

Tor shoulder checked her backwards into a desk, tippung it over into its back in the process. "I'd rather fight robots." She says as she makes a few summons reminiscent of the trolls she'd befriended. Disappointed that her magic wasn't enough to keep the constructs working on defending her long.

Blake tries to run towards her but is intercepted by more automated opponents, Weiss takes a knee inadvertently dodging a tackle from her beefy opponent,"It would about you to learn from this mistake, girl. Though you won't live to do so." For had a spear in his hands then, created out of various peices of metal. Just before it can hit the ice mage, a sword of brilliant black flames intercepts the weapon.

You won't harm her.

A dark voice, wrapped in black magics said above her. In her daze Weiss could hear Ruby gasp, prompting her to look up and do the same. "Catalaya?" She questioned meekly. The figure shook its head and tossed Tor through the adjacent wall,Catalaya sleeps now. I am Jakal, her wolf.

Gently, with more care than a person would expect Jakal lifted Weiss up bridal style and placed her on the top of a near by desk.Her wolf? Wow.The ice mage thought to herself as Jakal grabbed Tor by his neck and began to squeeze.You will apologize.

Tor laughed, "Fuck you and your whore of a mage." Jakal spoke again in a voice that really shouldn't have sent sparks through Weiss.Then die.With a loud crunch, she snapped Tor's neck with no hesitation.None shall disrespect her.Jakal walked over to the still gaping Schnee and embraced her gently. In the back of her mind mind Weiss heard a voice speak to her

She wants to experience what only Cat has before.So, with slight hesitation Weiss wraps her arms around the taller girl and smiled as Jakal nuzzled into her neck at her scratching her wolf ears.

"What in the fuck?" Leave it to Yang to ruin a moment.

That Evening

After spending several hours questioning the appearance of Jakal, as well as confiming whether or not her being wasn't some type of illilusion, the Hunters were slowly warming up to the strange woman. The faunus women kept a pretty fair distance at first, Jakal was nowhere near comfortable allowing a fellow predator, Blake, near Weiss, Velvet was stuck in flight or fight mode, her instincts telling her to run to safety, which happened to be behind Coco. "So, Catalaya's sleeping?" Nora asked as she handed Jakal another peice of pizza. "Yes. She couldnt fight the Sisters. So she allowed me to take over."

Yang belched, "Then why isn't she back?" She was very suspicious. "Cat made a deal with me. I help her and she gives me control for a week." The group nodded, the arrangement making sense. They continued drinking for a while, debreifing the events of the day. From the Red Scarves to how many magic users they faced. Soon the moon was rising into the sky, by unanimous decision they all turned in for the night. Weiss dragged Jakal back to her room, getting a few snickers from Yang on the way, shutting the door behind her she asked on question. "What did she really agree to?"

Figured it out already? It's no wonder Cat is so taken with your intelligence.Jakal bowed before Weiss, causing the Schnee to blush in the dim room,"I apologize. I simply wish to have a connection with you, similar to the one you have with Little Ember. If you'd allow me. I'm merely a passenger in her mind." Weiss cocked a brow, "Little Ember?" Jakal snorted," My nickname for Catalaya. Seeing as how she controls the flames." Weiss sat on the bed and patted the spot to her right,"Come here." Jakal hesitated, only urged forward by Catalaya's voice in her mind.

Go on you idiot. She won't hurt you.The wolf aspect took a deep breath and journeyed to the bed. She sat down a little ways from Weiss, who sighed and pulled her so her head lay on her lap. "You're not just a passenger. You're her and she is you. One person, just different at times." Weiss had no idea were these ideas were coming from, they just felt right to say. The infamous killer Jakal felt odd as a warmth graced her cheeks.It's called blushing. You dork.Cat said with a laugh.

"You're cute when you blush." Weiss said with a smirk as her little assasin tried to hide her red face. With cold gentle hands she leaned in slowly, the position straining her back, her position more to make the second part of her girlfriend comfortable. Weiss was very pleased when Jakal squeaked for a moment, slowly easing into the kiss, she carefully caressed her wolf ears. The air was filled with the rustling of covers, hearty gasps, and the low growling of a satisfied wolf throughout the night.

What a glorious night indeed.Would be the only thought in the minds of the three warriors.
