AN: Hi! Okay. I wanted to address something. Night Rogue, you're absolutely right. Except at the time I was having a small writers block, so I just decided to say it in the reviews.

"Wake up. You have work to do."

"Nnngh…" I groggily opened my eyes, finding myself in a dark room with someone leaning over me. "Who are you…?" I asked struggling to focus.

"It's me. Saniya." She told me, sounding slightly concerned. "Are you okay? You took a pretty nasty blow to the head… Why didn't your Aura protect you?" She asked me, a worried look on what I could see of her face… Everything was dark...

"I… I don't have one…" I mumbled, remembering I'd never found the time to ask someone to unlock it.

"You mean it hasn't been unlocked?" She checked, worried that I might secretly be an evil Soulless demon.

"Yeah…" I nodded, wincing as my skull felt like it was ready to implode.

"I'll unlock it for you then." She told me, placing a hand on my shoulder… "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee…" She muttered, as I started to glow a soft white…

My vision started to flicker, and I was able to see Saniya's full face again.

"Apparently my vision got messed up…" I muttered to myself as I tried to stand up, but was held down by Saniya.

"Give your Aura some time to heal you!" She told me annoyed.

"How long will it take?" I asked.

"Only a few minutes." She responded without hesitating.

"What about John…?" I asked, remembering he'd taken the same blow as I had.

"He's been… Dealt with." She said, hesitating for a moment.

"What do you mean, Dealt with…?" I asked worried.

"He's alive, but he's in a much worse condition… His Aura… Well, I'll show you." She told me, apparently deciding I had healed enough and taking me to the room next to mine, where John was lying on a hospital bed. Next to him were some monitors. One was a normal heartbeat one… But the next one was horrifying… It was like… His Aura was eating him alive… "Is that his Aura…?" I asked in horror.

"Yes… And No… It's strange. It's like his Aura is trying to heal him and consume him at the same time…" She explained…

"And the third monitor?" I asked, it was the strangest… It had a strange shape on it… It was… I don't know… But it looked familiar in some way…

"That… It's odd. They were installed into every hospital a few weeks ago after an incident in Vacuo… Most of them don't seem to work though…" Saniya explained to me, unsure of its purpose.

"Let me try something…" I muttered, giving John's tail a little Yank. As soon as I did that, he growled, swinging an arm at me without any warning. At the same time, his Aura seemed to calm down a bit…

"Keep doing that." Saniya told me, watching the monitors.

I continued the yanks, and bit by bit, his Aura returned to normal…

"Nngh… Stop that…" John grumbled as he started to wake up.

"You okay now?" I asked worried.

"Why wouldn't I be…?" He asked annoyed, rubbing his head.

"Your aura was eating at your body." Saniya said bluntly.

"Oh, that, yeah my Semblance acts up if I'm knocked out." He explained bluntly, standing up and getting ready to walk off.

"Where do you think you're going?" Saniya asked him sternly.

"Fast food place. I'm hungry. I know I can't escape so…" He explained with a shrug.

"Can we get fast food?" I asked hopefully.

"… Fine…" She sighed, snapping her fingers as two small beings appeared… They looked like fairies, one was red and the other blue. "Get us fast food." She ordered.

"Don't wanna!" The red one said cheekily, while the blue one nodded and flew off.

"Do it." She ordered.

"Fiiiiine… I'm messing with your clothes though." It said, and flew off before she could respond.

"… So… What happened to Adam?" John asked curiously.

"He didn't even try to go for you, he just ran." Saniya revealed, her face emotionless…

"… He… He just… Abandoned me…?" He questioned, staring at his hands…

"Yes." She agreed.

I grabbed John's wrist as he went for his Driver. "Don't. Don't go after him. Just… Don't." I told him, knowing instinctively that it was a bad idea…

One week later…

John was now staying near the house at Patch, and the first episode was going to start soon… We'd been counting it down, and it was any day now…

"Aaaand I win." John said, knocking down my king with a knight he'd manoeuvred to defeat me.

"Damnit! Again!" I demanded, grabbing my pieces angrily.

"Hey, have you two seen Ruby? I can't find her." Yang asked, looking into the living room where John and I were playing chess.

"No, sorry." I said, locking eyes with John for a moment.

"Great… I think she might be at Dust Till Dawn, there's a magazine she's been following and I think the newest one came out today." Yang explained. "I can't go check though… I need to get ready for beacon…" She muttered.

"We can go if you want." John offered, standing up.

"Really? Thanks. She needs to be home soon…" Yang said gratefully.

"We'll head there straight away!" I told Yang as I headed outside and summoned the Machine Semblance, getting on it, John getting on the back.

Vale. Dust till dawn…

We arrived there quickly, getting off of the bike and storing it away in my Driver. We then headed inside and went straight to where we could see Ruby.

"Ruby." I said, trying to get her attention.

"She's not listening." John said, waving his hand in front of her face, getting her attention.

"Huh? Oh! Hi!" She said, realising why we were here. "I just need to pay for this okay?" She explained, closing the magazine and taking it to the counter.

"Alright. I'm just gonna grab a few things." I said, knowing what would happen in just a few minutes… This was my chance to get into Beacon…

John shook his head at me, knowing what I was planning…

"Okay!" Ruby responded with a beam, waiting for me as she paid for her magazine.

I grabbed a few random do-dads and thingamabobs, basically anything that might come in handy… And then, I took them to the counter, paying for them with the Lien I'd earned from both helping Saniya, and from doing some housework for Taiyang.

"We going yet?" John asked, checking his watch, his tail waving behind him.

"Yep! I've got everything!" Ruby said happily.

"Yep." I agreed, as we got ready to leave… And then…

"Do you have any idea, how hard it is to find a dust store open this late?" Mr Greek Candlewick himself! Sorry, Roman Torchwick. Same thing really!

"T-That's…" Ruby whispered to me, tugging my sleeve as I pulled her and John away from the door, hiding behind an aisle of some stuff.

"Torchwick." I finished her sentence, my hand reaching for my driver unconsciously.

John slapped my hand away from it, watching carefully… "Something's wrong… Look." He gestured, pointing at the Coin Torchwick was playing with as he commanded thugs… "It's one of my coins… I never had the chance to get it back after I lost it in the forest…" He explained… "I have to get it back… If he activates it… Well, it won't be pretty…" He said, while Ruby threw a guy through the window. "Whoa. Did I miss something?" He asked confused.

"Guy tried to rob us." I explained quickly as we joined Ruby outside.

Torchwick stared at the three of us, dropping the coin without realising… "Ooookay… Well? Get 'em…" He ordered, waving his cane at us, causing the thugs to charge at us…

John and I grinned.

White button, "Let me show you the power of a simple soul!" Black button! "HENSHIN!"

"Soul form! Tamashī no chikara! Ōra no pawā!"

John took advantage of Torchwick's distraction, and rushed forwards, grabbing the coin and returning to next to me, where he slipped the Beo Coin into his Driver.

"BEO!"

"Henshin."

"Tabete, shōhi shi, sorera o subete hakai shite kudasai! Ōkami!" The driver announced as he transformed…

"Ending you… That is my goal." He announced, activating his claws… I was the only one without a weapon. WELP! I'M SCREWED!

I ducked under a thugs attack, trying my best not to get hit, but not willing to punch anyone in case I killed them…

Fang looked towards me as he knocked a thug away. "They have Aura's!" He promised me, but I still kept dodging…

Until I hit one, and sent him flying, slamming into the wall with a thud and a crack… He slowly slid down, knocked out. "Oh god…" I muttered, deciding to only punch Grimm. And maybe evil demons if required.

Fang groaned, and threw a coin at me, which I fumbled to catch, causing it to hit the screen, which caused something weird to happen…

"NEMORE BOW!" The Driver announced, as a Grimmlike bow appeared, the two ends looked like they were made of many large feathers… The String was a glowing red, and when I pulled the string back, a large black arrow appeared as the arrow… I carefully tested it, and found it would just knock the thugs back, causing me to go to town on them with it… Until it broke, and Fang caught the coin as it fell to the ground.

"Sorry!" I exclaimed, panicking a little.

"It's fine…" He muttered…

THUD!

Five minutes later, John.

I grumbled as Ruby and I had to carry Alfie into the room, sitting him down in a chair and waking him up.

"Huh…? Wazgoinon?" He asked groggily.

"You got blown up. Torchwick." I told him bluntly, as he nodded in understanding.

"YouweresocoolhewaslikegetemandthenyoutwowerelikeHENSHINandyoustartedfightinganditwasawesome!" Ruby exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah? You'll have to tell me what happened." He told her, calming her down quickly.

The kid… Three weeks ago…

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that… All I can tell you is I need four open slots. I'm one of them…" I told Ozpin, who took a sip from his mug.

"And why is that?" He asked me curiously.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that… But, if you don't then at least one student will die because of what's happening, and another will lost a limb. Beacon will fall… If you do this for me, Beacon has a chance of living…"

Present

I watched as Ozpin allowed Fang and Soul to go to beacon, on the condition that they make themselves weapons… Good… And Schnee is already going there thanks to Ozpin wanting to have extra security for… Her…

One day later. Alfie.

"Oh I can't believe my little sister's going to beacon with me, this is the best day ever!" Yang exclaimed happily.

"What are we, statues?" John muttered to me, annoyed that he was being ignored completely.

I saw a certain blonde boy in armour heading towards Ruby and Yang, and quickly pushed him away from them. "Bathrooms over there." I told him, as he rushed towards it.

"Aww… No vomit boy…" John muttered upset.

"I have a weak stomach. You know this." I told him, knowing if Jaune had thrown up, I'd have joined him…

Five minutes later…

We were here… Beacon academy… Our new home… "Well… It's time… We gonna team up?" I checked, getting a nod from him.

"Sunglasses for you, mask for me." He agreed, pulling out his Amazon Omega mask from his jacket for a moment.

"Alright then… Beacon, you'd better prepare… Cause we're gonna be awesome." I announced, as we started to walk…

"Hey,"

"Yeah?"

"You notice we haven't faced any monsters yet?"

"I was thinking the exact same thing! It's so crazy!"
