A fist slammed into a wall in the Team AJCS dorm. Adam had his head bowed, his eyes closed behind his ribbon and his gritted teeth bared in rage as the red on his body glowed faintly.
...
"I'm sorry, children. We've been left no choice. General Ironwood will focus the brunt of his forces on locating the island where Doctor Merlot's lab is situated, but with his mutated Grimm, it will be too dangerous to attempt a rescue... As much as it saddens me, we fully intend to bomb that island and wipe it, those Grimm, the Feral Faunus, and the Merlots off of the face of the planet for good. That is the only way that we can put a permanent end to all of this madness."
...
Adam's remaining two teammates, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Sun, and Neptune all watched him with worry. Slowly, Sam walked over and placed a hand on his leader's shoulder.
"Adam-"
"We can't let this happen." Adam announced quietly, and Sam blinked. Then, he frowned slightly and sighed.
"I don't really see how we could stop it. We'd have to find the island first, get there, get Jenna and the Faunus, and get off before General Ironwood and Ozpin could blow the place to Hell."
"Then, we will." Adam looked back at him, glaring. He looked over at Blake. "Where would you hide something you were desperate to keep secret?" Blake blinked, then she looked up at Jenna's bookshelf. Slowly, Blake walked over and examined all of Jenna's books before picking up a book an looking at it. "What-?"
"The book that was in her hands, the day we met." Blake announced, looking up at Adam. "The Snow Queen... If I remember correctly, it's composed of seven separate stories. The story tells of a young girl who witnesses a change in her dearest friend due to an outside force manipulating him, and he is then taken away by a powerful, evil being. The little girl spends the whole book desperately trying to save him, but it all really starts in..." Blake turned some pages in the book. "The Second Story: A Little Boy and a Little Girl." Blake looked down, then blinked. "I was right." Adam walked over and looked down at the book, then he blinked as well.
"... Coordinates." Adam's eyes narrowed slightly. "Blake-"
"On it." Blake typed the coordinates into her scroll, then she blinked. "It's an island."
"Merlot's lab." Adam decided, turning and walking towards the door. Weiss quickly stepped in the way, placing her hands on her hips.
"Just where do you think you're going?"
"After her. Merlot has Jenna, and someone needs to go and get her."
"Adam, you told us what she said last night and you heard Ozpin this morning." Dora protested, frowning. "That island is crawling with mutated Grimm and Feral Faunus. Between fighting the monsters and trying not to hurt the Faunus, you'd be dead within an hour."
"That doesn't mean that I shouldn't try to help her!"
"He's right." Sam spoke before anyone could protest. He walked over and stood by Adam, nodding. "I'll go with you. I can use my semblance to stun the Faunus, get them out of the way until we can find that cure Jenna mentioned." Adam blinked, then his eyes narrowed as he nodded.
"Alright. Thank you, Sam."
"... I'll go, too!" Ruby looked up, glaring as she walked over as well. "You're right, Adam! She's our friend, and she needs us!"
"If Ruby's going, I'm going." Yang walked over, crossing her arms. Pyrrha walked over, looking at Adam and nodding, and she was quickly followed by the rest of Team JNPR. Blake walked over, Sun following, and Neptune followed as well. Soon, it was just Weiss and Dora left.
"... She's my teammate." Dora looked up, giving a small smile. "Despite the secrets she kept... I'll fight to bring her home." With that, Dora walked over and left Weiss alone. The Ice Queen of Team RWBY gazed at everyone, then she looked down, sighing.
"We are all going to die." She announced simply, then she walked over and looked up at Adam. "Well? We're all standing together, now. What's the plan?"
"... We need an airship."
Jenna shifted slightly, groaning in pain, then she opened her eyes and looked up. Wherever she was, it was pitch-black and cold, and she couldn't move her arms.
"H-hello?" She asked, looking around as her eyes tried to adjust to the darkness. "Hello? S-somebody, please - help! Let me out of here!"
:Calm down.: A voice chided over a intercom system, and her eyes widened. :I fully intend to let you go, but not until you calm down. We need to have a little chat.:
"A..." Jenna's expression filled with horror, her eyes wide in disbelief and terror. Her whole body quivered, then she threw her head back and let out a long, shrill, scream of fright. "AH!"
/\
Stealing the bullhead was easier than Adam thought it would be. As he sat in the pilot's seat, flying towards the coordinates from Jenna's book, he looked over at his copilot with a raised eyebrow, frowning.
"Are you sure that you're the most certified?" He asked, almost hoping she would suggest someone else. Yang laughed, lifting up her sunglasses.
"Sorry, pal - but I have the widest range of experience with vehicles. You want someone else, go and get them - but I'm honest-to-gods your best bet."
"... Fine." Adam deadpanned lightly, and Yang snickered before facing forward as well. In the back of the bullhead, the others were sitting in wait.
Pyrrha laughed good-naturedly as she rubbed a sick-looking Jaune's back, Ren and Nora talking about another dream the Bubbly Bomber had had. Weiss and Dora were arguing over their overall views on the upper-class while Sam and Ruby tried to stick whole cookies up their noses, and Blake quietly read through a book - Jenna's book, The Snow Queen - as Sun looked over her shoulder and Neptune leaned against the wall, playing a video-game on his scroll.
"Hm." Blake frowned, her eyes narrowing. "Jenna drew and wrote a lot in the margins, except for in one story. Apparently, The Fifth Story: The Little Robber-Girl was Anino's favorite - and she left them blank, except for the last one."
"What's on the last one?" Sun asked, raising an eyebrow. Blake turned the pages, and Sun blinked in surprise to see a sketch of a young man. He had lightly-messy hair and warm, light-filled eyes, and he wore a sort of casual suit underneath a lab-coat. "Huh... You think that's him?"
"Might be." Blake replied, lightly shrugging. "... I think she misses him, and she definitely blames herself." Sun blinked, then his eyes narrowed lightly.
"Hey?"
"Yeah?"
"Adam said that Jenna said that the last she saw, Anino attacked Merlot. If Merlot survived, what happened to Anino?"
"Don't know." Blake replied, then she looked up at him. "There are only two options, really - Merlot killed his son, or Anino spared Merlot (by force or for some other reason) before running off. Either way, Anino's probably long gone. He'd never survive six years in the wild, especially with the Grimm."
"Yeah." Sun frowned, gazing at the image. "... It must have been horrible, seeing family go Feral." Sun looked down. "Seeing someone I know only sorta-well like Jenna was bad enough. Seeing family... What must have been going through her head, at the time?"
"Am I going to have to house-train my brother?" Neptune offered, giving a weak grin, and Blake looked up at him with a deadpan as Sun laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, sorry..." Neptune frowned. "Just how common is this Feral stuff, when it's natural?"
"Not very." Blake replied, shaking her head. "It's most common among those Faunus who have been caged and treated like animals, like the ones in-" Blake paused, briefly and discretely looking back at Adam - no one really noticing the gesture -, then she looked back at Neptune and lowered the volume of her voice. "Mistralian Black Markets."
"Oh." Neptune blinked, then looked down. "You know, I never even knew about those things until Sage told me. It was after we'd seen some shady guys looking at Sun funny while we were out buying ammo." Neptune's eyes narrowed. "I had half a mind to go back to that alleyway and rip them a new one."
"Careful, Neptune." Sam looked up, giving a wry grin. "You'd have probably made too big of a show out of it. Taking down Mistralian Slave-Traders requires... Finesse."
"Oh?" Dora looked away from Weiss and at her partner, deadpanning. "Yeah. You were real graceful."
"Yeah, I was! I only got caught the one time!" Sam laughed lightly, and Neptune blinked in surprise. Weiss, Ren, Blake, and Pyrrha had wide eyes while everyone else looked confused.
"Wait, what?" Sun asked, looking at Sam. "Sam, what did you do?" Sam blinked, then gave a small smile.
"What can I say? I like doing the right thing." He told him, crossing his arms. "No matter what the cost."
The bullhead landed on some old docks on the coast of the small forest-covered island, the thirteen filing out. As they all looked around, Ruby blinked in surprise before smiling.
"It looks kinda like Patch." She decided, and Yang nodded. "Except for there." Ruby pointed to some buildings in the distance. "It looks like someone was trying to build a city."
"Hm." Adam noticed, his eyes narrowed. "Or Merlot is trying to build a headquarters..." He looked around. "No Grimm or Ferals, yet. They must be congregating in the center of the island, near the lab. That's-" He pointed to the buildings. "Probably where it is, and where he's holding Jenna... We should get moving."
"Alright." Jaune nodded in agreement. He, Sun, and Ruby - the three other leaders present - stepped forward and turned to the others. "Stick together, guys. We need eyes everywhere to make sure that nothing can sneak up on us."
"Yeah." Ruby agreed with him. "We don't know what we're up against, and we need to be ready for anything."
From the forest brush at the end of the ruined docks, a pair of purplish-blue eyes narrowed slightly, watching the thirteen students with interest. As they turned and began walking towards the trees, the figure moved aside and let them pass before stealthily following behind them.
/\
Time passed as Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Team A(J)CS, Sun, and Neptune made their way through the forest. They encountered some normal-seeming Grimm and dealt with them, but they had yet to come across a Feral Faunus or advanced Grimm.
"Ozpin said that this place was crawling with the things." Yang finally spoke up, looking around with narrowed eyes. "Didn't he?"
"Maybe he didn't know." Ruby protested, looking back at Yang. "But, I mean... If Doctor Merlot wants to use the Grimm AND the Faunus, he probably has a way to keep them separated."
"Which means that we'll probably run into one and not the other." Jaune reasoned, his eyes narrowing as he looked around. "Which, either way, probably won't be good for us."
"I brought some lightning-Dust." Sam spoke, looking at Jaune. "If it's the Faunus, I can knock them out with nonlethal doses. It'll hurt, but no one will have to die."
"And if it's the Grimm?" Pyrrha asked, seeming concerned. Adam scoffed lightly, still walking forward.
"We do what we were trained to do. Eliminate them."
The students made their way towards the island's center, and they finally encountered their first advanced Grimm while passing through a clearing. It was a Beowolf, and it growled at them with intelligent green eyes, green mist rising from the spikes on its body as it remained at a distance.
"Whoa." Yang blinked, surprised, and they all stopped. "That's... One of the Grimm?"
"Yeah, I think so." Blake agreed, readying her weapon. "And it's a Beowolf... There could be a pack watching us."
Slowly, the Grimm began walking a circle around the thirteen, appearing to survey their defense. The fighters subtly readied their weapons, but they could tell that the creature could see, that it understood.
"Uh... Guys?" Jaune asked, and everyone realized that they were surrounded by glowing green eyes in the shadows cast by the forest around them. "T-there's the pack!"
"Make a circle!" Adam snapped, looking back. "Backs to the center! They're going to charge, and we're going to take these things head-on!" Everyone nodded and got into position, and Adam looked back at the fully visible Beowolf. "Let's see if Merlot's pets have anything on a regular Beowolf. Maybe, they'll be just as stupid."
The visible Beowolf growled, actually seeming offended, then it snarled and darted forward. Adam drew his blade and lashed out, the Beowolf swiftly ducking underneath the attack, only for Adam's gun to shoot twice and blow its brains out.
"So... A bit smarter than normal Beowolves." Blake noted, frowning at the dissolving form. "And about twice as sturdy. That's just brilliant." The pack charged, and the students began fighting them back.
Everyone else eventually divided into partners within the circle in order to cope with the strength of the advanced Beowolves, Adam being the only one fighting alone but - being a far more experienced fighter - seeming to fare the best out of all with the others a little ways behind him. The ones faring the worst seemed to be Sun and Neptune, and mostly Neptune.
"Rah!" Neptune stabbed his trident at a Beowolf's chest, the electricity quickly taking affect but seeming to only annoy the creature, and Neptune blinked before laughing nervously. "Uh... Nice doggie?" A shot rang and blew the Beowolf's shull with an explosive round, Sun lowering a gun and looking back at his partner. "Thanks, man! I owe you one!"
"These things are a lot stronger than they look!" Yang shouted over the noise of the fire from her gauntlets. She brought her fist up on a Beowolf's chin before leaping up bringing a second punch down to its head, a round firing and killing the creature.
"Yeah!" Pyrrha shouted extending her sword into a javelin and impaling a Beowolf's chest as Jaune managed to sever another monster's leg before stabbing its throat. "They dodge at least half of our attacks! Merlot intends to unleash these creatures upon the world?!"
"That's what Science-Girl said!" Sam replied, having combI ned his katanas into a crossbow. He loaded a bolt and fired, the ice-Dust in the bolt activating and freezing two of the Beowolves. "Dora, now!"
Dora drew a brown orb from her bag, pressed a red button on the side, and threw it to the ground below the two frozen monsters before drawing what appeared to be a wireless trigger from her bag. She smirked, pressing down on the red button on top, and the orb exploded in a burst of fire, destroying the two Beowolves and leaving a splatter of red paint.
"... AWESOME!" Ruby cheered as she decapitated a Beowolf. "You use Dust-infused paint-grenades! You've gotta show me how to make t-" Ruby blinked as Weiss darted up and stabbed an attacking Beowolf in the mouth, severing the spinal cord and effectively killing it. "Um... Thanks, BFF?"
"Focus, you dolt!" Weiss scolded, and they went back to fighting. Soon, the pack was almost defeated, and Sun faced one last Beowolf. The boy smirked, spinning his bo-staff as the creature growled.
"Come on!" The monkey-Faunus challenged. "Let's do this!" Instead of attacking, the creature turned and ran off into the forest. "H-hey!" Sun followed the creature into the trees, and Neptune looked back with wide eyes having just finished a Beowolf of his own.
"Sun?! Sun, get back here!"
The Beowolf kept running as Sun gave chase, then it turned back as they arrived at a smaller clearing and lunged. Sun raised his gun-chucks and quickly fired four times, striking the monster's chest, and it landed at his feet, dead.
Sun sighed, relieved, then smirked and gave a short laugh as he spun his bo-staff before resting it on his shoulder and turning away from the dissolving Grimm. He started walking away, only for a rock to soar out of the shadows and strike his head.
"Ow!" Sun winced, rubbing the back of his head as he turned around. "Huh?" All was silent, then another rock flew out of the trees and struck the ground at Sun's feet. The monkey-Faunus blinked, then frowned as he looked off in the direction from which the rock had come. "... Hello?"
"Tch." Something in the brush came closer, and Sun was able to make out eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness. He blinked, then took a step back, readying his weapon. Was it another Grimm?
Suddenly, a round rock rolled out of the brush and tapped Sun's foot, and he blinked as he looked down at it before looking up at the eyes in the shadows again. Slowly, Sun got down on one knee and set his weapon down, releasing it, then he looked up at the eyes again.
"... My name is Sun." He announced quietly. "My friends and I are here to stop Doctor Merlot, to save his daughter - who he kidnapped from Beacon Academy -, and to try and help the Feral Faunus... Are you one of them?"
The battle over and the Grimm dissolving all around the large clearing, the remaining twelve looking around with urgency for their missing ally. Neptune was the most frantic of them all.
"Sun?!" He shouted, his eyes darting around as he searched the trees. "Come on, man! This isn't funny! Where'd you go?!" Blake walked over and stood beside Neptune, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"He's alright. Just taking his time making his way back." She tried to assure him, but even she seemed uncertain. Adam shook his head, sighing.
"Stupid kid..." He scowled lightly. Suddenly, something in the brush moved and made the leaves rustle, and everyone readied their weapons as a pair of eyes glinted from within the shadows.
Adam raised Blush and fired, but the figure in the darkness dodged and let out a low, angry growl. Adam readied to fire again, seeming extremely annoyed, then, a white, blue, tan, red, and gold figure darted in the way.
"Wait, wait!" Sun held his hands up. "He's not a Grimm! He's a Feral Faunus - but he's friendly, really!" At that, everyone blinked and slowly lowered their weapons. A figure in the shadows seemed to tilt their head to the side. "I told him why we were here, and he wants to help us!" Sun looked back at the figure, grinning. "Come on, tell 'em! One rock means no, you don't want to help. Two rocks means that yes, you do." Almost immediately, two rocks were flung from the shadows and they struck Adam in the chest and stomach, making the bull-Faunus deadpan as Sun laughed. "I don't think he likes you, Adam. Right?" Two more rocks hit Adam, and the leader of Team AJCS sighed as everyone else actually laughed, chuckled, or snickered.
"What? You want me to apologize for shooting at you?" Adam asked dryly, only to blink in surprise as two more rocks landed at his feet. "... Okay. Sorry." A satisfied huff rang out in the darkness. "So... Where to?"
"Hm!" A grunt rang out, and bushes began moving, something within them heading east. The students exchanged glances before giving chase, following the shifting brush as Sun's new friend led them somewhere.
"Can we trust him?" Blake asked, her eyes narrowing as they ran. Sun looked over at her, grinning.
"Oh, yeah! He's actually a really nice guy!" He replied, then he looked down, frowning. "... We have to cure him." At the serious tone he had taken, everyone blinked in surprise. Sun was looking straight forward now, his eyes narrowed. "We have to cure all of them."
"All of them?" Blake asked, then she blinked. "Did he tell you how many there-?" They arrived at the entrance to a cave, and their eyes widened. "Are..?"
The cave had stairs carved from stone that led down to some sort of miniature, on-site laboratory. In the back were monitors and equipment, but the massive space was mostly dominated by row upon row of cages. Within the cages were people - Faunus -, curled up into little balls on the floor, crawling on all fours, or growling at other people.
Surprisingly, they seemed pretty healthy. Their hospital-like clothes were clean even though their hair had grown out, and none of them seemed at all injured or wanting for food or water. But all of them were wild, like animals on the inside even though they still seemed human on the outside.
These were Doctor Merlot's Feral Faunus.
"Oh, gods..." Weiss stared with all of the rest, but her body shook lightly. She was absolutely horrified, and she wasn't the only one.
Yang was mostly angry, her eyes tinting towards red. Neptune placed a hand on Sun's shoulder, the blonde boy having completely frozen, looking angry and even a little scared. Pyrrha had raised a hand to her mouth, Nora had raised two. Ren and Jaune's eyes were wide, and Ruby looked like she wanted to cry. Dora quickly reached out and grabbed Sam's arm, the livid-looking boy having attempted to step forward. Blake's jaw had dropped, her body tense and her wide eyes filled with disbelief, but she slowly looked over at Adam.
"... Are you okay?" She asked quietly, frowning. Adam's clenched fists shook at his sides as he saw all of the cages filled with Faunus, and he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
"I'm fine." He announced, doing his best to keep his voice and expression calm and collected. He turned around, his gaze falling on the glowing eyes in the darkness. "... Well? What, now?" All was silent, then...
"Help... Us..." A man's voice struggled to force the words out, and everyone - except for Sun - couldn't stop their eyes from widening as the figure emerged. He shambled out of the shadows in a way akin to how an ape would move, crouched with his legs bent and his knuckles acting as front legs as he moved forward.
He appeared to be in his late twenties, his hair - both his hair and a mustache/beard on his face - was long and tangled with leaves and twigs, and no one could be certain if his hair was naturally brown or so dirty that it just appeared to be so. His skin was streaked with dirt, and there was a scar on his right cheek. His clothes appeared to be what tattered remains were left of a casual suit and dress-shirt, and his feet were bare. His eyes were purplish-blue and crazed, and a pair of brown wolf-ears twitched on top of his head.
"... It's him." Adam realized, his eyes widening in disbelief behind his ribbon. "Anino Merlot, the older brother." The wild man's eyes narrowed as everyone stared at him in astonisment.
"Napa... Danger... Help us..."
Jenna sat at a small, square-shaped stable made of stainless steel in a chair made of the same metal, her arms chained to the rests. The small, white room was empty besides for her, her chair, the table, and another chair. The door opened, and a man entered, holding a tray.
The man had wild grey hair, one real blue eye, one synthetic red eye, a synthetic arm, and he was dressed in the garb of a scientist. The silver-colored tray held a tall glass of water, silverware, a white plate with some freshly-cooked meat, and a filled wine-glass. The man set the tray down on the table, then he looked up at Jenna.
"... I'm not going to hurt you." He announced quietly, and Jenna's eyes narrowed. "I know that we didn't part on the best of terms, but I need to talk to you." He reached for his pocket, and Jenna let out a low growl. The man paused, then he sighed and reached into his pocket anyway, drawing a key. "Now... Hold still. You're going to need your hands, if you're going to eat."
"Huh?" Jenna asked, blinking in surprise, and she watched in disbelief as the man removed her chains. Once he was finished, the man walked back over and sat down in the other chair, taking the wine-glass, then he gestured to the tray.
"Well?" He asked, and Jenna's eyes narrowed. "... Do you really think that I would have gone to the trouble of getting a venison steak if I intended to poison it?" Jenna blinked at that, then she slowly reached for the glass of water, watching to see if the man would react. When he didn't, she quickly took it and took a drink, then she set it down before grabbing the silverware and beginning to cut into the steak. "... So, you've been at Beacon, all this time?"
"Pretty much." Jenna replied, having finished chewing and swallowing the first cut of meat. "Ozpin picked me up in Forever Fall."
"Ozpin, eh?"
"Yeah. He made me train at his school."
"How did you end up in that infirmary?"
"I-" Jenna paused, blinking, then looked down. She set the silverware down, then she folded her hands in her lap and looked away. "I did something terrible."
"What do you mean?"
"Father-"
"Napa." Doctor Merlot spoke quietly, and his daughter slowly looked back at him. "... Tell me what happened, sweetheart."
"... My partner, Adam - he wouldn't stop questioning me." Jenna slowly crossed her arms, sitting back in her chair. "I tried to fight it, but I was so angry... I went Feral." All went silent, then...
"So... The small dose made a sort of Feral that is triggered and unleashed but eventually recedes back into the subconscious, and your descents into the Feral are triggered by anger?" Merlot asked quietly, and Jenna looked down. Then, she looked up at him and nodded. "Hmm. Of course. The most primal of all emotions... What was it like?"
"I..." Jenna closed her eyes. "It was horrible. The whole time, I wanted to stop - but there was something else that was stronger, something that made me attack my friends. I was so scared... I just wanted to stop..." Jenna raised her hands to her mouth, her body starting to shake as tears welled up.
"Now, now. I can't help you if you stop telling me exactly what happened and start blubbering. How did the starting stage go?"
"I lost c-control, and the first thing I-I did was punch my p-partner." Jenna replied, looking up at him. "After that, I-I was trying to fight it, but I k-kept talking. That thing inside of me - the Feral -, it told h-him nearly everything."
"Nearly everything?"
"It left out the part about... About what happened after Mom died." Jenna looked away, her eyes on the floor. The first tear fell, and she closed her eyes. "But he knows about the Grimm and Feral experiments... He knows about Ani and I."
"... Sweetheart." Merlot raised his human hand to the side of her face, and she slowly looked back at him. "I've been searching for you ever since I lost you, and I've been working on a cure."
"There is no cure, Father. You told me that you were certain."
"I wasn't in my right mind, that night six years ago. What I did to you and your brother, it was wrong. And with the gods as my witnesses, I will make it right."
"... You can't." Jenna's eyes narrowed, her hair bristling. Tears fell freely, now. "You made my brother into an animal, and I... I'm not sure what I am! I'm not Faunus, not animal - I'm a freak!"
"And what's so wrong with that?" Merlot countered, and Jenna blinked. "... Napa, what is your definition of normalcy?"
"It's..." The girl blinked again, then looked down. "It's not this. It's not living in fear of becoming a monster-"
"What is a cat to a mouse?" Merlot inquired, and Jenna looked up at him. "What is a dog to a cat? What's a Grimm to a normal human, and what is a Huntsman or Huntress to a Grimm?" Jenna blinked, her hair calming down. "Both monster and normal are relative, my dear. They're what the beholder believes... You are no monster, sweetheart. You are strong, very strong - just as your mother and I always knew you would be. And as for freak, well... There is some good in being a freak."
"What?"
"... Freaks know what they are." Merlot replied, and his daughter's eyes widened. "Their clarity in terms of self are unmatched... You know exactly who and what you are - you are my daughter, Napa Merlot, and you are a warrior, a wolf-Faunus, and a beautiful lusus naturae." Merlot stood and walked over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Now please, my dear... I need your help."
"My help?"
"There are many wrongs in this world, and only by working together can we right them." Merlot announced, and his daughter looked down. "I've perfected my formulas, and I have cures for the temporary Feral. I need a sample of your blood to create an antidote for the permenant Feral... If you help me, not only will we use the tamed Grimm and Feral Faunus to end all of this conflict together, but we will find your brother and make things right. I swear it."
All was silent, then the young wolf-Faunus stood and turned to her father. Slowly, she looked up, her expression calm and her eyes narrowed, then she gave a small nod as her tears stopped falling.
"Alright, Father... I'll help you."
Well... Yeah.
The thirteen are on the island and looking for Doctor Merlot, who has managed to convince his daughter - Napa, AKA Jenna Elurra - back onto his side, and they've found an ally in Anino Merlot, who has become a real wild-man due to the Feral formula.
... I think that's a bit more interesting than the old story, don't you? XD
The original Jenna had a strong moral standpoint and believed that good and evil were black and white. This Jenna is somewhat uncertain in some areas, finding a lot of grey the world, and thus she is easier to sway.
Well, what now? Will the teams and Anino be able to sway Jenna back onto their side, or will she help her father in his plans and actually succeed in bringing about his cataclismic vison?
I only own my OCs! Please read, review, check out my other stories, etc. Thanks! :)
