Vol: 8 Chapter 1: Trials of the King pt. 1

Wolfgang slowly woke up as he found himself in the dorms of Atlas Academy, surrounded by three gorgeous naked women, whose lower mouths were stuffed full with his fertile seed.

Who were they? Weiss, Winter, and Willow Schnee. 'Fuck, I've missed this so damn much.' He thought with a smile. As he adjusted his position, Winter and Willow hugged his sides and pressed their breasts against them while Weiss hugged his head into her chest, smothering him in her B-cup rack.

Loathing that he was to get out of bed, wanting to snuggle with the Schnee women, he had work to do.

As he sat up, he decided to recharge himself by sucking on their breasts. This caused the women to moan as their eyes fluttered open and saw him sucking on their nipples and motorboating their tits.

"Mmmmm… Someone's excited." Winter sighed in bliss as her brain booted up.

"I have work today so I wanna recharge my battery first." He replied as he fondled Willow's tits while he sucked on hers and Weiss's.

"I think we have more than enough time for that." Weiss sighed as she ran her hands through her shared fiance's hair.

"Such beautiful breasts." He purred as he picked his princess up and set her in his lap before she put some lube on his cock and slid it into her ass.

"Aaahhhhhh~!" The youngest woman in the room sighed as she started bouncing on her lover's member.

"My goodness, Weiss. Are you really that addicted?" Willow giggled.

"Yes!" The heiress moaned as she kept bouncing like she needed it.

Meanwhile over Mantle, the Immortal Rage hovered as transports carried groups of people one by one into the ship. This was an attempt by Sky to help give the refugees who weren't able to make it to Atlas a place to take shelter until Mantle could be rebuilt. Speaking of which, a month has gone by since everything went down.

"All this to get rid of one Grimm force, and now people have to wait until their homes are rebuilt." Sky sighed as he sat on his throne. "What a mess." He added.

"It couldn't be helped, Sky. You know that." Yang told him softly. She was sitting in a walking chair similar to the one Pietro used (the colors of it being her own) since she had to take it easy for the remaining four months of her pregnancy. At the moment, she was wearing a maternity dress.

"I know, I just wish I didn't have to see all these people so downtrodden." The King said as he looked at a few families who arrived, clearly banged up from the attack.

"Yeah… Me too." The Queen sighed. "But hey, at least they're in capable hands. That should count for something." She added, trying to brighten the mood. Her Grimm Knight fiancé chuckled lightly.

"At least there's that." He nodded with a small smile. "I sure do hope Sun and Blake are doing alright, what with Blake being pregnant and all."

"I'm sure they'll be fine." The blonde said as Sky got a call from Wolfgang.

"Hey, Wolfgang, What do you need?" He asked.

"I need you and Jaune to meet me outside of Mantle. I need your help." Wolfgang told him. "And bring the staff of creation, we'll need it." He added.

"Uh… Okay, I guess?" Sky replied in confusion before hanging up. "Think you can handle overseeing everything in my stead?" He asked his shared lover.

"Yeah, and if I can't, I'll ask Veridas for help." Yang nodded.

"See you soon, dear." The King smiled as he gave her a kiss before leaving.

After picking Wolfgang up and the faunus setting up a set of coordinates, they started traveling. Though as they did, the chronomancer seemed uncharacteristically quiet as he looked out the window at the tundra.

"Hey, is everything okay Wolfgang?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah… It's just… I know what to do, but… I don't know how to feel about it." The wolf boy replied.

"Sometimes, when it comes to stuff like this, you never know how to feel until it passes." Sky commented from the pilot seat. "It's kinda like when I became the Enthrallen King. I didn't know how to feel about it until later." He added, giving his own example.

"And how did you feel about it later?" Wolfgang asked.

"I felt… honored that Urba had crowned me as such." The Grimm Knight replied.

Wolfgang seemed to take this in before he noticed several very large footprints leading in a trail towards what looked like a destroyed city in the middle of the tundra.

"Land here." He told Sky, prompting him to do so and land inside the city. As they got out of the small ship, the sight of the city caused Wolfgang to experience a flash.

Images of the buildings burning, people running around screaming, and a dreadful howl as a lupine shadow loomed over the city.

"This is it. This is Fortuna, the stomping grounds of my first trial." The boy said as he looked around.

"So this is where you basically began… Hopefully we can rebuild this place." Jaune said as he looked around. Though as he said this, loud thumping as something came their way.

"I don't like the sound of that…" Sky said as he turned around with them, and saw a massive Grimm lumber towards them. And it looked to be just shy of Akka's size.

It looked like a Beowolf, but it had a full bone mask covering its face. It also had three bone plates on each side of its torso, likely to protect the ribs. It also had several spinal protrusions conning from its back. Scars and damaged plates also covered it. What really stood out was the look in its eyes as it looked at Wolfgang; it was a look of recognition… and anger.

"Grendel…" Wolfgang snarled as he drew his sword and ignited it.

"Wait, you mean the same Grimm that the entire Atlas Military couldn't take down?!" Jaune exclaimed.

"The very fucking same!" The wolf faunus growled.

"Think you can put this fucker down yourself?" Sky asked as he scowled at the giant Grimm.

"Yeah… Yeah, I fucking do." Wolfgang nodded as he twirled his sword. Grendel howled as he charged towards them, destroying everything in his path.

Things just got a lot more complicated.

Meanwhile with Autumn and Emerald, the two of them were sleeping soundly in bed, before Autumn started tossing and turning in her sleep.

In her dreams, the image of her in a servant's garb scrubbing a floor played through her head, before the pain of being electrocuted around her neck jolted her awake.

The Obsidian Princess breathed heavily as she calmed her nerves. She hadn't expected those memories to surface again, especially now. Getting out of bed, she put on a robe and walked into the kitchen to get herself some water.

'I don't get it. Why did those memories choose to come back now, of all times?' She wondered as she drank her water.

As she went back to bed, Blaze suddenly sat up in his crib, yawning as he rubbed his eyes and looked at his mother. It was as if he sensed her distress. Autumn was quick to go to her son's side.

"Don't worry, Blaze. Your mommy will be alright." She assured him. Though as she tried to comfort him, Emerald woke up.

"Autumn?" She asked groggily. "Honey, what's wrong?" She said, noticing how shook her wife still looked.

"It's… something I don't know how to explain, dear." Autumn replied with a frown. She went back to the bed with Blaze in her arms, and as they sat together trying to get him to sleep, Emerald saw and stroked a scar around Autumn's neck—the mark of an electric collar.

"Autumn…" Emerald gasped in shock as she hugged her wife, tears in her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me about this scar sooner…?!" She whimpered sadly.

"I didn't want you to think of me as weak." The Maiden replied as they put Blaze to bed. Emerald shook her head as she hugged her tightly.

"I'd never think that." She told her. "You're the strongest woman I know, Autumn, it's why I love you." She added..

"But…" The ravenette tried to say before her lover put a finger to her lips.

"Not buts. This isn't about strength, it's about being a family." The greenette told her wife. Autumn looked at her beloved thief and hugged her tightly.

"Emerald… Without you, Blaze, Mint, Sky, I'd have nothing left. Without you all—I'm nothing." She gasped, "I love you so much."

"And all of us love you." Emerald smiled as she kissed Autumn lovingly.

It would seem that old wounds have not yet healed, hopefully it won't stay that way.
