Hey, it's me Darkslash here with another chapter! I thank you guys for your support, and hope you see my story till the end! The semblance will finally be revealed. Keep in mind his semblance was self-tailored, so it doesn't really reflect his soul per-say. Just a heads up, I don't plan to mess around with the teams...too much. Now on with the show!

-Talking-
~Multiple Thinking~
Multiple Talking
Initiation Hill
Ozpin was worried. With the increased number of Grimm, his fear of someone getting hurt increased, this is why he gave the green light to Ms. Goodwitch's plan and use of the upperclassmen. However, he felt something was off. Grimm shouldn't be so packed; it just wasn't in their nature. If they were packed, it meant a catastrophe was about to happen, or that someone had led them there. Whichever it was, Ozpin was sure this was still at a manageable level for the first years…if they worked together. If they chose to go at this task in pairs, they surely would fail.
Right now was the time to observe, however, so he decided to see the progress of the students. They all seemed to have a partner that augmented each other's weakness, just as planned. For example, Ms. Xiao Long should help Ms. Belladonna open up to other people, as well as Ms. Belladonna help Ms. Xiao Long with stealth and tact. They all seemed to be advancing at a reasonable pace…except for Mr. Scarlentina. It seems that he was left without a partner, thus slowing down his progress. Too bad really, he would have been a perfect match with almost everyone. The only exception would have been Ms. Xiao Long and Ms. Valkyrie. They would have been out of control of most people, yet Mr. Scarlentina would only add fuel to the fire with his outgoing attitude making them simply…unmanageable.
He should be alright, however. After all, he is being supervised by his sister.
-Ozpin?-(Goodwitch)
-Yes?-(Ozpin)
-Do you really think it was a good idea to put Ms. Scarlentina in charge of her brother's safety? She seems to be shy and quiet most of the time, and her fighting is only average. Wouldn't it be better to place a stronger team to protect the only student without a partner?-(Goodwitch)
-Let I ask you this; did you read her transcript last year?-(Ozpin)
-Of course I did. However, the skills written on the paper and her actual skills were not the same, so I disregarded them as overestimation. She may be good, but not good enough to merit her famed nickname of "Dawn" - (Goodwitch)
-They were 100% true.-(Ozpin)
Ms. Goodwitch gave his a confused look.
-Ozpin?-(Goodwitch)
-She just didn't have her trusty partner with her, that's all.-(Ozpin)
Back With Juan
-How much farther, Vox?-(Juan)
-Your halfway there.-(Vox)
-You're kidding, right? It's been nonstop fighting for the last half hour, I must have gotten at least closer.-(Juan)
-Like you said, it's been nonstop fighting, not non-stop running. If you don't hurry up, you might end up being partner less. Even worse, you might end up without dust to power your weapon. If that happens, you're going to have to use you semblance to fight, making your secret public.-(Vox)
-I better hurry up then.-(Juan)
With a grunt, Juan decided to ignore the Grimm behind him in order to run. Contrary to popular belief, he did have to aim the soundwaves at his enemies, which would slow him down. He needed to find a partner or help fast, or he might not make it to the temple before sundown. If that happened, he would then be forced to use his semblance, which would mean trouble. As he hurried to the temple, he came across pieces of snake skin and smg bullets, meaning Ren and Nora partnered up already. He then came across a burning tree, which meant Weiss and Ruby are partnered as well. As he ran he began fear all of the first years were already partnered. That would mean he would have to do initiation alone. As he thought of this, the Beowulf's chasing him suddenly stopped to howl. Juan thought for about five seconds that they had given up when he saw dozens of Beowulf's, including Alphas, join the chase.
-What the hell did I do to them!?- (Juan)
-You did kill about 80 of them back there.-(Vox)
-It doesn't mean that ALL the Beowulfs in the FOREST have to chase me in bloody vengeance!-(Juan)
-You did chose to be a wolf Faunus due to their pack mentality.-(Vox)
-That should have been wolfs, not Grimm!-(Juan)
-Oh, stop whining and LOOK OUT!-(Vox)
Juan ducted just in time to dodge the swipe of an Ursa that also joined the chase. Looking back, he also saw Ursa majors and even more Beowulfs joining the fray. He felt bad for whoever was going to help him. Unnoticed by him however, his sister Velvet was tree hopping right behind him, avoiding the Grimm altogether. She still wouldn't understand why he didn't like to tree hop like her to avoid Grimm. Every time she would ask, he would mumble something about "Ninjas" and "Believe it".
At the Temple
-The mission was to get a relic and go back. We don't have to fight the Grimm.-(Blake)
Back at the temple, the future team RWBY and JNPR had just decided to retreat with the relic instead of wasting their time fighting the Grimm.
-Run to fight tomorrow, I can get behind that.-(Jaune)
-Lets hurry up then, the ice won't hold it much longer.-(Weiss)
True to her words, the ice holding back the Deathstalker was cracking, and she only had enough ice dust for only one more encasement.
-Do you guys hear that?-(Blake)
They all looked around in confusion, until they felt a rumble. It was like if they were in the way of a…
-Is that a stampede!?- (Yang)
Trees in the distance were being toppled down by the dozen, each one cracked by what seemed to be a river of shadows. This was bad. Both teams combined didn't have the equipment or stamina to fight that horde off, even with Pyrrha, Nora, and Yang going all out.
-We have to go, NOW!-(Ren)
The teams started to run back through the valleys which lead back to the school. It may have been cleared of tree, but it took twice as long to get to the temple and back to school using that route, which was why they were advice to not take this route unless space was necessary. Besides, the forest was separated from the valley by a mountain, which made it too long of a trip to make while on a time limit. At least now it was clear of Grimm.
Two minutes later
Juan burst into the clearing. He was looking around for anyone who might help him, but it seemed they had just left, indicated by the giant Deathstalker on ice… which was cracking. Well damn.
He took a look at the temple, and saw that all the relics were taken. Seeing this, he got ready to run. Just as he was about to leave however, a crack was heard, followed by a weird inhuman screech. To Juan's horror, the Deathstalker had just joined the fray.
-Vox, do you think I can win without my semblance?-(Juan)
-Right now? Your chances are slim do nonexistent. It seems that we will have no choice.-(Vox)
-Right, begin the preparation.-(Juan)
-Got it. Soul pacers have been released.-(Vox)
Juan then took a look around the plain. While he was in thought, the Grimm had surrounded him, leaving no room for running. With a bitter smile, he got into his fighting stance.
~Aura Overdrive~
Cliff
The battle with the Nevermore had been simple. With Nora and Yang slamming it to the ground, Blake and Ren clipping its wings, Jaune shoving it to the wall, Weiss using her last of her ice keep it in place, and finally Ruby and Pyrrha running up the cliff with the Nevermore to decapitating it, it had been relatively simple to kill the B-ranked Grimm. Just as Ruby and Pyrrha were about to get down and celebrate, they saw it. In the distance was the same mob of Grimm they had ran away from. From the cliff, it looked like a small lake, easily half a mile in diameter. In the center however, there seemed to be a hole, like seeing the eye of a hurricane from up top.
-Guys, you got to see this. It might be too soon to celebrate.-(Pyrrha)
With Weiss' help, all of the teens were able to reach the top without any problems. Once they saw what they had just dodged when they ran however, they were in a mix of awe and fright. Nora especially had gone really quiet, hiding her face behind Ren's arm.
-What the hell is that!-(Jaune)
-That, my friend, is the Grimm.-(Ren)
-I've never seen so many in my life!-(Yang)
-Do you think we… stirred them up?-(Jaune)
-That number is on a scale larger than we can stir. Besides, they seem to be hunting something.-(Weiss)
-What could they be hunting so badly it requires that many Grimm to finish off?-(Ruby)
-Whatever it is there hunting, it's inside the circle. - (Blake)
-We better hurry then, we don't want to get caught in a chase of that scale.-(Pyrrha)
-What if it's another student? Shouldn't we go check if they need help?-(Ruby)
-We were the last ones to leave the temple because there were no more relics on the stands when we left. That means that we will be the last team to the cliff. - (Weiss)
Everyone was convinced by that logic, and started to head towards the school which was right behind them. However, if they had just stayed there for another minute, they would have seen a small flash of light in the center of the storm flickering on and off.
Cliff
When Team RWBY and JNPR got back to the cliff, they saw hundreds of students, not just the first years. Behind them were two second years. One was a green giant, while the other was a silent fox Faunus. They seemed to have been following them during initiation, which spooked the teams except for Weiss. She just seemed to be irritated that people would "stalk" her during initiation. The giant and the fox joined up with a teen with a beret, and seemed to be looking for someone. They were just about to leave to the ballroom when Ruby remembered.
-Yang, do you see Juan anywhere?-(Ruby)
Yang got a slight twitch on her face.
-No, why do you ask?-(Yang)
-I don't see him anywhere. He promised that if we weren't teamed up, he would wait at the cliff for each other at the cliff to introduce each other's partners, wolf's honor. He wouldn't break a promise like that on purpose.-(Ruby)
As much as Yang hated to admit it, Ruby had a point. Juan may break some minor promises, but when it came to his promises in "wolf's honor", you might as well set it in stone. One time he forgot one of the blueprints for crescent's sniper calibration at a café, and Ruby was about to break down. He promised in wolf's honor to get it back no matter what the cost. At first Yang thought he was going to give up in about 2-3 days, and then she would go and beat the hell out of him for making her sister cry, yet he went a whole week searching for it. After that, he disappeared for three days. Even his family didn't know where he was. He came back on the fourth day with a few cracked ribs and dozens of bruises, but he had the blueprint in one hand and a giant smile on his face. Apparently, some shady people had taken a hold of it and tried to sell it to a weapon shop owner. Luckily the owner knew of Ruby's Crescent due to her and Juan being regulars, and decided to contact Juan. Juan tracked them down and got into a fight. He lost badly, but was able to steal the blueprints back when they weren't looking. When Ruby saw him, she hugged him while crying, telling him how much of an idiot he was, which made him pass out due to the cracked ribs. Since then, whenever something important comes up, Ruby makes him promise in Wolf's Honor to make him keep the promise.
-Don't worry, we'll just ask Ms. Goodwitch. She must have the list of all of those who came back. Im sure he's just trying to convince his partner to introduce him or herself.-(Yang)
They walked up to Ms. Goodwitch, who was by the edge looking at the forest. She looked very worried, so much in fact that she seemed to have made scratches on her whip using only her right hand's nails without her even knowing it. In her left hand was a now cracked clipboard, listing all of the names of the students.
-Ms. Goodwitch?-(Ruby)
She stayed quiet. She seemed to have not heard her.
-Ms. Goodwitch?-(Yang)
She still didn't respond.
~Ms. Goodwitch! ~
Started out of her trance, she tried to compose herself as quickly as possible.
-I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Was there anything you needed?-(Goodwitch)
-Yes, i'm trying to find my friend. His name is Juan Diego Scarlentina. Have you seen him?-(Ruby)
Goodwitch took a look at her clipboard, and sighed.
-He still hasn't come back. It seems that he was the only student without a partner, so no relic was left for him. However, his surveyor hasn't called for backup, so he must be safe in the woods.-(Goodwitch)
Ruby's and Yang's eyes opened up in horror.
-You need to get him out of there; there is a massive horde of Grimm in the forest! There isn't even a relic left! Last time we saw the Grimm horde, they were in a hunt! He doesn't have much time left!-(Ruby)
Goodwitch's eyes opened in shock. She grabbed a radio on her hip and made a call.
-Calling in Velvet, calling in Velvet, do you hear me? - (Goodwitch)
There was no response. Goodwitch started to bark.
-Velvet! Velvet! Answer me Monty damn!-(Goodwitch)
She then changed the station.
-Calling all staff! This is a Red-class emergency! Bartholomew Oobleck and Peter Port are requested at site in five minutes!-(Goodwitch)
-What happened?-(Ruby)
-Juan's overseer Velvet has lost her radio. This means her ether damaged it in a fight, or it has fallen. Thankfully, her camera is still giving feed, so it should be easy to track her down. In each case, however, Juan has no idea of the upcoming hoard, so an evacuation is needed. All of the other students have finished, so it's up to the teachers to go.-(Goodwitch)
-Wait, so he's out there all alone!?- (Ruby)
-Most likely. I would like to ask you to stay at the cliff. The staff will go all out, so there will be no time nor place for first years. - (Goodwitch)
-But I want to…-(Ruby)
-Of course Ms. Goodwitch.-(Yang)
-But, but…-(Ruby)
-Ms. Rose, it would be best if you listen to your teachers. We are Hunters for a reason you know.-(Ozpin)
Ruby and Yang turned around to see Ozpin and two other teachers behind them. One, a tall lanky man with green hair, seemed to be dressed up for an archology expedition, while the other, a rotund man with grey hair and an impressive mustache, looked like he was about to go on a fox hunt. The all had serious faces, and their weapons were out. The green haired man had what seemed to be an extendable thermos, while the rotund man had a shotgun-axe.
-Do we have the coordinates?-(Green hair)
-Ready. Has everyone packed your gear? Good. Ready for extraction Ozpin.-(Goodwitch)
-Best of luck to you all. I'll stay back for defense. Don't be afraid to play rough, just get the job done.-(Ozpin)
~Understood~
With that, Goodwitch broke off a piece of the edge and levitated it for a quick ride towards Juan's last coordinates. She climbed on and she urged herself to hurry, lest it be too late for Juan and Velvet.
Temple
I'm exhausted. I had been fighting by pushing aura to his finger nails so that they would harden, but the amount of Grimm was just massive. I was in a sorry state, with my middle finger dislocated and nails either bleeding or broken. My body was cut and bruised, with a lot of soreness everywhere The Deathstalker had been taken care of easily with the sound waves, but once the biggest Grimm died, the smaller ones lost order and attacked me altogether. I still needed 2 more minutes to activate my semblance, and even if I did last that long, my semblance would only increase my strength and speed by two. I would pass out after using my semblance for three minutes max due to my injuries. If only Velvet were here. She was the only one who has ever used my semblance, and she actually became a pro at it. Her semblance would only add more power to the mix too. It would always end in a light show.
-Juan! - (Velvet)
Aw great, now I was hallucinating her in my final moments!
-Juan! - (Velvet)
Wonder how she would feel if she knew her brother died at initiation. Would she be devastated? Would she be Ashamed? Would she be Angry? Forget just her, how would his whole family feel!?
-Juan, I'm right behind you!-(Velvet)
Yes, how I wished she would come in and try to help him, but that would be suicide. Who in their right mind…?
I turned around.
-Wait, you're really here!?- (Juan)
Right behind me was Velvet. Her battle outfit was ripped, her bag was gone, and her camera was hanging on her neck with a few scratches. She was panting hard, but otherwise seemed to be okay. She noticed my flickering, which meant I was getting ready for battle.
-How much longer till you activate your semblance? - (Velvet)
-About a minute. Do you think we can last that long?-(Juan)
-Of course. Just leave it to me-(Velvet)
With that, she made a bag out of light which turned into a mini-gun. I will never understand why they were called that when they are so massive, but I was glad they were invented. She started spraying them with bursts of light bullets, making the ground black with Grimm blood. While she was shooting, I began to focus aura on my throat to make myself louder while taking a deep breath.
-Juan! You are up!-(Velvet)
She then made earmuffs for herself with light and put them on and gave thumbs up. I then did what came naturally to me. I howled while amplifying it with my headphones.
-AAAAAAAA-WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!-(Juan)
The attack was devastating. Most of the Grimm fell to the ground stunned, and Velvets earmuffs cracked and fell. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt. Better yet, time was up.
-Juan, we are at 100%, transfer possible!-(Vox)
-Velvet, are you ready?-(Juan)
She held Juan's hand.
-Ready. - (Velvet)
~Remix! ~
There was a burst of light which blinded everything around them. When the light cleared, Velvet was covered in bright white light. She was floating a foot of the ground, and had hundreds of small orbs orbiting around her, each of them morphing into weapons. The light around her then converted into transparent angel wigs, with a halo on her head to boot. She had finally reached her remix.
Fifteen Years Ago; White Space
-Hey Vox, would it be possible to have a semblance that helps others? – (Juan)
-I don't see why not. What do you have in mind? - (Vox)
- I was planning on having my semblance help them surpass their semblance's limits, and maybe even evolve into an even stronger one if possible.-(Juan)
-I wouldn't do that. - (Vox)
-Why not? - (Juan)
-Well, you know that a semblance is the manifestation of one's soul right? If you change that, their soul might become in disarray, and even be harmed to an irreparable state. And even if the change is successful, they would have a complete attitude change due to the changes in their soul. - (Vox)
Juan thought for a minute.
-Hey Vox, would everyone in remnant have a guardian angel? - (Juan)
-Of course! They are also human; therefore need help against sin and temptation. Why do you ask? - (Vox)
-I was thinking if maybe their angel might store the second semblance. Should be possible right? - (Juan)
Back to the Present
Juan remembered his first time he used his semblance. He told everyone he could not use it, and asked Velvet for assistance after school so he could test it out in private. What he didn't know was that Qrow had heard of the training and was tailing him to supervise him so he wouldn't hurt himself or Velvet. When Juan used his semblance after many "tries", Velvet was surprised to find that she was the one getting changes. After more trials, they figured out three restrictions: 1) the person must be in good standings with Juan, 2) the person must receive physical contact from Juan before able to activated 3), and the person must be open to the changes. If all three are not met, then they won't be able to activate it no matter what. What made the semblance so great, however, was that anyone that has had their second semblance activated can enter their own mindscape. This was helpful for the person's memory, giving them access even their first memories. And while not proven yet, it might even open conversation between person and angel.
In the present, Velvet was obliterating the Grimm. Her normal semblance was to make a weapon out of light and copy some moves, but with remix, her semblance changed. Not only could she now make any object, she was able to mold light itself. She also had a major boost in strength and speed, and could now "levitate" by making light under her feet solid.
She flew across the clearing, using many old weapons she had gotten from a trip to the museum. She would make literal gashes out of light in the air, and would send them flying to the hoard. Juan didn't even bother to help, focusing instead on maintaining his semblance on Velvet and occasionally dogging an unseen Beowulf. Black blood had covered Velvet and Juan, but they didn't mind. After all, it should come off with a wash.
-Velvet, finish them!-(Juan)
Velvet turned around and nodded. She then proceeded to lift herself up 15 feet into the air with her arms spread wide and her legs crossed. She then made a golden thrown in which she sat, and made behind her a giant golden gate.
-Gates of Babylon.-(Velvet)
The gate opened, and every weapon she had ever copied came out towards the Grimm. The Grimm never stood a chance. One was impaled by a lance, while the other was decapitated by a chain. Dozens more suffered a similar fate, and in a few seconds it was over. Hundreds of swords, lances and arrows had been used, and hundreds of Grimm had been killed.
She then landed back on earth, ending her remix and surveying the land in front of her for Grimm.
-Juan, the injuries have been put off as much as possible. Beginning force shutdown - (Vox)
-Vox, you make me sound like a robot. - (Juan)
-Moving all aura capabilities to healing. - (Vox)
-Actually, I have a better idea.-(Juan)
Juan then fell on his back onto the dirty grass stained with Grimm blood. His conscious was starting to fade.
-Hey Velvet, can you give me a piggy-back ride? I know im not a kid anymore, but I'm too tired to move.-(Juan)
Velvet started to turn around.
-Do you really want all of the first years to see you carried back by…Juan!? Answer me Juan! – (Velvet)
Juan had just passed out. Velvet started to reach for her Radio, but noticed it wasn't there. It must have fallen off when in battle.
-Damn it! Hold on Juan, I'll get you back in an hour at most! - (Velvet)
She then carried Juan unto her back, and started to run. While not as fast as before, she was still able to outrun any stray Grimm due to her strong legs. Being a bunny Faunus had its perks.
After 15 minutes of running, she saw what seemed to be a small floating island with Ms. Goodwitch, Pr. Oobleck, and Mr. Port going at full speed towards the temple. She started to call out for the teachers.
-Over here! Over here! Ms. Goodwitch, Pr. Oobleck, Mr. Port! Over here! - (Velvet)
They weren't listening! She looked around for anything to grab their attention. She noticed Juan's headphones and quickly took them off his head and put them on her head. She then gave a shout with aura in her throat into the headphones.
-OVER HERE! - (Velvet)
The shout had too much of an effect, having shot a sound burst at the island. Luckily, Ms. Goodwitch took control of her island and proceeded to fly towards Velvet and Juan. She was about to give the biggest lecture to Velvet when she saw Juan. He was covered in purple bruised and multiple gashed in his body. His blood had actually started to lightly stain Velvet's cloths, which could only mean he had run out of aura.
-Velvet quickly, get on, we might not have much time! - (Goodwitch)
She then turned around to the other teachers.
-Start an Aura transfusion; try to heal the outer wounds. Take priority on the bleeding ones.-(Goodwitch)
Velvet then noticed that his wounds weren't closing up, and started to tear up with horror in her face. She was about to go hysterical when Oobleck hit her in the back of her neck, knocking her out. He started to heal Velvets bruises, while Port focused on Juan, due to his bigger aura pool. He managed to close all the cuts, but Juan had started to go pail, making Port think that not all bleeding was external.
-Curses, he has internal bleeding! - (Port)
Goodwitch only grimaced, and started to accelerate even more. Even with the speed increase, however, she wasn't sure she was going to make it in time.
Oobleck then stated helping Port with healing Juan while giving an order on the radio.
-Pr. Peach, prepare an operation room, we'll need aura infusers for internal bleeding.-(Oobleck)
-Ready and on standby! - (Peach)
3 hours later
Ozpin was in his tower, with a glass of wine in his hand.
This year's entrance exam has been a disaster, so much team assignments had been moved to the next day. This much Ozpin knew. While it hasn't happened in 34 years, beacon had a custom to wait a day if a student was very injured or died so they can have a day of mourning. Even though everyone passed, it didn't mean everyone made it safely. The new student Juan Diego was gravely injured to the point his aura had run out trying to heal him. Even though he had passed the worst, he was still in critical condition. His friends had been devastated when they got the news; especially Ms. Schnee, due to her convincing everyone that there was no one on the field effectively delaying backup. Juan's sister had tried to put a brave front for everyone, but ended up breaking after two hours, so much her team had to take her away. However, none was as hurt as Ms. Rose. She had started to have a breakdown in front of everyone, and not even her sister was able to console her. She had started to demand to see him, and just a few moments ago I gave the permission. It had become clear he might not survive the night. She then ran towards the infirmary, dragging everyone with her. I only hope Juan would forgive me. I already have too many people in my memory with their names written in blood. I don't think I could bear another.
Infirmary Room
In a white bed was Juan. His wounds had been closed, but his usually tan skin was pale. He was connected to an aura support system to help his own Aura jumpstart and recover, an IV, and had a standard heart monitor next to it. Surrounding him has all of team RWBY, JNPR, and CVFY with looks of sadness and remorse. They had just been allowed to enter, yet reality really sunk in once they saw him. Ruby then spoke up.
-Juan, wake up. You need to wake up. Please Juan, you need to hear about my partner. We promised didn't we? It was even in wolf's honor. Please Juan, I know this is nothing for you. I've seen you take worst from Yang, so please get up.-(Ruby)
She then started to get louder.
-Who else is going to nerd out with me in weapon design!? Who else is going to join me in class and goof off!? Who else is going to go with me to get ice cream and cookies at 3 in the morning with me?! Please Juan, I'm begging you!-(Ruby)
Everyone at that point had started to tear up, but the three hardest cries were from Ruby, Weiss, and Velvet. Ruby was because she did not want to lose someone else like her mom. Weiss was because she blamed herself for convincing everyone of leaving. Velvet was because she was his older sister, someone who had spent countless memories with him, and because she was the cause he used too much of his aura.
Ruby then kneeled next to his hand and held it in her own. Her desperation was becoming more and more apparent.
-Please Juan, wake up! I'll buy you all the root beer you want! I won't finish all your cookies again! I'll even share with you my strawberries, but please just wake up! Don't leave me! - (Ruby)
The surrounding friends just began to break down. While most of them had barely met him, they knew he and Velvet had held back the hoard, which incidentally gave them enough time to get to school safely. Not only that, he had given a sort of power up to Velvet to finish the hoard off, yet that had cost him his entire Aura. Everyone had a different view of him, yet none negative. Jaune held him in awe. Blake found newborn respect for the man. Pyrrha saw him as the role model huntsman. Nora thought he would have been a great friend. Ren believed that another great man had been almost taken by the Grimm. Velvet saw him as an adorable brother she wanted to protect to the end, but failed. Yang apologized for all her cockblocks and believed that maybe he would have been a good first love to Ruby. Weiss believed his death was by her hand. But the most intense was Ruby's…
-Please Juan, I know you hate to see me cry! So please, wake up! I Love You!-(Ruby)
After shocking everyone with her statement, she began to sob into his hand uncontrollably.
If only they knew…
Juan's Mind; 30 Seconds Prior
Juan had been relaxing watching reruns of his favorite Anime's when Vox came in.
-Juan, they're here. - (Vox)
-Very well, then the shows about to start.-(Juan)
-Just so you know, I still think you're an asshole.-(Vox)
-How else am I supposed to explain that I can talk with you! I can't just go and say I talk to angels, now can I? They will think I am a freak! Plus, you know I'm a sadist!-(Juan)
-Still makes you an asshole.-(Vox)
-Whatever, just get in your position!-(Juan)
Vox just left and began to amass aura. Meanwhile, Juan started to listen outside for any moment to interrupt the speeches outside his body.
-Please Juan, wake up! I'll buy you all the root beer you want! I won't finish all your cookies again! I'll even share with you my strawberries, but please just wake up! Don't leave me! - (Ruby)
-Wow, she really is getting into it. Just let her finish and I should be good to go.-(Juan)
-Please Juan, I know you hate to see me cry! So please, wake up! I Love You!-(Ruby)
Juan's jaw opened to the ground. He did not expect that. Does this mean he missed his first confession!? Damn it, why does his first confession have to be when he could do nothing to respond!?
-Vox, stage two, go!-(Juan)
With this, Vox elevated Juan's heart beat very rapidly. The heart monitor started to beep rapidly.
-Juan?!Juan! What's happening! - (Ruby)
-He is starting to convulse! Turn him on his side! - (Blake)
-Okay, now make me hibernate!-(Juan)
To hibernate would be to make the body go into a deep sleep, so deep it would look like death to anyone around them. Suddenly, the heart monitor stopped beeping, and gave a flat line. Everyone outside was shocked. They weren't expecting to see his final moments, not after such a touching speech.
-Juan, no! - (Ruby)
-We need a Doctor! Doctor! - (Velvet)
Everyone was going wild. Juan just started giggling inside.
-Now Vox! Activate stage three!-(Juan)
Instantly, his teal aura surged forward and surrounded everyone. This was the most crucial part of his act. He needed to get this right. He regretted skipping his Aura molding class.
He made a body for Vox. In full teal, Vox has a sort of ethereal look. He was smiling to everyone to calm them down, but it just had the opposite reaction. Everyone thought it was Juan's ghost.
-...Juan? - (Ruby)
-It that really you, Juan? - (Velvet)
-It can't be, he looks like a kid.-(Coco)
While everyone began to murmur, Vox gave his prepared speech.
-I am not Juan, for I am his Guardian Angel, Vox. I am responsible of him, and will be his guide to the afterlife. - (Vox)
After hearing afterlife, Ruby began to panic.
-You mean, he going to die!?- (Ruby)
Everyone tensed up at "die". With Vox there, he might as well be the Grimm Reaper ready to take Juan away.
-Not yet. He is still fighting. I have never seen such a stubborn person. He said something about "Wolf's Honor" and "Never make Ruby cry".-(Vox)
When Vox said this, Ruby's face became red, and for a moment forgot what was happening as steam rose from her head. Yang just got pissed.
-So what's going to happen to him? - (Ren)
-He will recover, have no doubt on that. However, I am more worried about you guys. You all will endure hardships like no other. Especially Ms. Rose. When I gave this piece of information to Juan, he went berserk, and even got his second wind. Do keep that in mind Ms. Rose. - (Vox)
Ruby's face got even redder. Yang just got more pissed.
-Well, it is best for me to return and help Juan out in his awakening. He will most likely be sore for a few days, but that's to be expected. Oh, and if you have any questions, you can contact me through Juan.-(Vox)
With that, Vox sunk back into Juan. After a few minutes, Juan's completion had started to return and his heartbeat returned to normal.
-And with that, mission is a success. Move the entire aura to healing. - (Juan)
-Got it. Restoration should be done in fifteen minutes. It's just patches at best though, so don't push it. - (Vox)
15 minutes later
Everyone in the infirmary couldn't believe what they saw. To their credit, this is the first time they had heard of angels. However, they saw Juan's immediate recoveries, which lead them to believe everything was true. However, some were still not convinced. Mainly Yang. Though her disbelief was because she didn't believe Juan was good enough for one.
While everyone was discussing about what happened, Juan was slowly waking up.
Juan's Point of View
While he was waking up, his body was sore. So sore in fact that he felt like a truck had run him over. His massive aura was all spent up, and he needed to go to the bathroom. Worst of all,
-GGGGGRRRRRRR- (Juan's stomach)
He was hungry. As his stomach growled, the people surrounding him turned to look at him. Each and every one of them was looking at him with what seemed the best "sweat drop" face he had ever seen, in and out of anime. To keep in appearance of him waking up, he decided to act innocent.
-Where am I?-(Juan)
With that single sentence, he unleashed untold pain…
~JUAN! ~
…to himself. Who would have thought being hugged by Ruby and Velvet would be so painful?
