Adam sat on a stone, arms crossed and deep in thought. He held his mask and ran his thumb over every crack and chip on it.
"He ain't in Beacon, not anymore." NinjaNinja spoke, walking around the stone. He placed a cigarette in his mouth and glanced over at Adam, who was still deep in thought. "We're gonna have to cut 'm off. Get to a town or something."
"They're going to the temple." NinjaNinja's face screamed confussion. "He's going to stay there. This journey was just a waste."
"Shiet, you gotta be kiddin' me! We seriously gotta waddle our asses back?" As the short, older warrior cursed up a storm, Adam put his mask back on and jumped down.
"No. We're still going to Beacon. Something's not right about that place." NinjaNinja huffed and scoffed at the No. 2, and finally lit his cancer stick.
"So you gon' be playin' the hero now, are ya?" Adam walked past him in his, now usual, robotic manor.
"Bringing justice doesn't mean I'm a hero. I'm just making sure nobody interferes in our battle. If I'm going to fight him, it will be an honorable match. Not one full of distractions." The elderly ninja hummed and followed, jumping above and using the trees.
"It's that Cinder bitch, right? She doin' some spooky shit!" NinjaNinja continued to talk, never shutting up as they made their way through the forest.
...
Ruby pulled at the hem of her skirt, nerves and fear dominating her emotions. Ozpin pressed a few buttons, and the machine in front of them hummed to life. Ruby looked at the dying woman in the tube that made up the machine.
She felt sadness for her, a life taken so soon and without warning. But if Ozpin thought this would help stop Jaune, especially with how dangerous he's apparently become. Cinder watched in secret, narrowing her eyes at the dying Fall maiden.
In the RWBY dorm room Yang was too busy recovering from the reveal that the most dangerous man to ever exist, the one thag put the gods to shame, and who trained Jaune to be just as dangerous, THE Afro Samurai, was her grandfather.
"So... you're... wow..." She blinked twice, never taking her eyes off the, rather intimidating elder. His stoic face broke, giving way to a warm grin. "Wait, just where have you been!?"
Afro's grin faltered, and looked at Raven, who looked away in shame.
"I was never aware of you existing." He looked back at the blonde, who looked down as well. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "But now I'm here. That's what that matters, and I don't plan on running away. I never run away."
Yang threw her arms around him, catching him by surprise. He hugged her back, holding her gently. He glanced at Raven once again, and smiled. She smiled back, still very much uncomfortable.
...
Jaune glanced over his shoulder, a smile forming on his face. There were movements in the bushes behind him, and it wasn't hard to tell who it was that followed him.
"I know you're there, guys." He immedietly braced himself, and wrapped his arms around the bubbly bomber that rammed into him, and knocked the air out of him.
"How'd you know we were following you? Ren made sure we were supper sneeky!" Jaune watched as Ren and Pyrrha walked out of the bushes, some twigs and leaves sticking out of their hair.
"Your sloth call isn't very subtle." He said as he caught his breath.
"For the record, I wasn't trying to be sneaky." Ren spoke up. Nora pulled away, giving them the chance to hug.
"That's reasonable." He looked at Pyrrha, and gave a soft smile. "Hey, Pyr." She smilled back and hugged him. He hugged back happily, feeling a warmth in his chest.
"Why did you run, Jaune?" Jaune sighed quietly.
"I didn't want to rope you into this. Ozpin's already roped Ruby into this, and..." He sighed. "...I don't want any of you caught in the cross fire... Not with my problem."
"Well, if it's your problem, it's ours too, fearless leader!" Jaune smiled at the bomber, and Ren nodded in agreement.
"We're a team, Jaune. We're in this together." The blonde stayed quiet, and smiled at his team. The wind blew and the headband fluttered along.
"Alright. Guess we're gonna have to get some more supplies. It's gonna be a while before we get to where we're going."
"Where are we goin', Jaune-Jaune?" The No. 1 grinned and turned around, pointing towards a mountain that resembled a praying man.
"There. My home."
...
Can you tell how impatient I am?
