AN: And here it goes! The next part of Bastion! ARKM is on break! They need one. Jaune is not going to do something stupid to get them killed. The howl team decides to relax! As much as one can relax in a school with murder as the norm and friends that are also enemies! So Ruby's get's anew trick. ARKM throws a party and finally! We get to see Mika's semblance! Remember! A Virus, a pox a plague think that and you are on board! So until next time? Enjoy...

'I do believe that you have something to say to me, Kage." Jaune said with a sickeningly sweet grin that made Kage growl.

"I have nothing to say to you boss except the fact that some deity is either looking out for your best interests or takes pleasure in making us suffer," Kage replied tersely at his leader and once again friend Jaune who sighed as the best of the first year Bastion team walked down the hallway.

"You have to admit Kage we did survive!"

"Ruby we got out on the most technical bullshit ever."

"Hey! Language." The reaper said her fake eyes zooming out as Kage sighed.

"Ruby. We all just avoided being executed for the second time in far too short of a time frame. I think we can all curse a bit you know?"

"There is no excuse for bad language young man! My mom always says-

"I-

"You threw my mom in a meat grinder! Yeah, I know Kage! You threw my mom in a meat grinder! Get real!" Ruby said punching Kage in his shoulder as his eyes twitched.

"Jaune!"

"Yes?"

"Can you tell her that I actually tossed her mom in a meat grinder."

"Ruby you heard him."

"He's so silly! He thinks that I'll fall for that one! Get real Kage! Or should I say Venke!"

"Stop calling me Venke! My name is Kage!"

"But that's your first name!"

"So!? What's wrong with calling me by my last name?"

"I think your first one is cute!"

"It is not cute!"

"I think it's cute Kage."

"No one is asking you, leader!"

"I think it's precious!"

"He's adorable!"

"Why do I have friends? Why can't my enemies just hit me in my heart?"

"Hey don't sound so glum! We are team Arkham! We need out Venke Kage! You can't die on us yet!"

"I think that this team needs to eat."

"Oh, I'm starved! Venke let's get breakfast!"

"One. It's lunchtime. Two. Don't call me Venke."

"Ok Venke."

"What did I just?! I... nevermind fine lets got. Jaune, Mika, you coming?"

"I could eat."

"Count me in!" Mika cheered as Venke and Ruby walked forward-

Whap! Jaune gasped as he was suddenly pinned to the wall. A sharp green blade at his neck. Mika pinned him as she held her battle ax to his throat.

"Mika!? What are you-

"You got lucky Jaune!" Mika hissed all hints of levity and kindness gone from her voice replaced by a cold, distant rumble that sounded like it was not even human.

"You got lucky with this gamble if Venke had died? You don't know what I would do to you."

"But he didn't!"

"I know! And that's why we are still friends!" Mika chirped as the pressure on his neck was lifted allowing Jaune to breathe easy once more.

"Mika-

"Come on Jaune! It's time to get some food! You don't want to be left behind do you?" Mika asked back to her normal cheery self as Jaune groaned. She was right he almost did get his team killed twice. He needed to-

"Don't do that again." Mika hissed suddenly dead in front of him her cold green eyes boring into his making Jaune shudder.

"I won't!"

"Good! Now let's get some food! I'm thinking waffles!"

"I don't believe it. You either have the devil's luck or the staying power of a cockroach." Zach said through bites of what looked to be a kebab of unknown meats.

"I didn't think you would live. I'm glad that you all made it, praise the light but I didn't expect that you would pull it off nor how you did it so well!" Hino said brown eyes wide with praise and admiration. The mocha skinned brawler sat next to her partner and leader who nodded.

"I must say Jaune I am impressed. And that is not something that happens every day. Not only did you manage to make up for every last drop of dust you lost you have secured Bastion a reliable quality and cheap dust supply for the rest of the schools hopefully long existence. Good job."

Merrick said as Jaune nodded the boy still digging into a plate of lamb and mashed potatoes as he smiled wildly.

"It was not easy, and there were some tough spots you know?"

"I was there," Kage growled as Ruby flicked her head.

"Stop that!"

"Ow!"

"Bad boy!"

"We had to all pull together, and at the end of the day, it was a team effort. We all did our jobs well and now? Well, it all turned out for the best."

"Not that we planned it to work out that way."

"Kage sometimes things just work out you know?"

"Do I ever."

"He is right Venke. You never know when sometimes you just need to let things happen to go with the flow. You'll never know where it takes you but who knows? You might just like it." Merrick said as he winked at Kage who cocked his head as Mika hissed at him.

"Back off!"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Kage bat's for this team!"

"I don't bat anything."

"I swear you and blondie have heads thicker than most mountains!"

"The fuck did I do?"

"Exist you depressed fucker."

"Zach don't insult my teammate, Kage don't worry about him."

"Oh, I'm not worried about him Jaune. I'm worried about what's going to happen to my team. I mean how much bullshit do we have left to pull out when shit gets bad?"

"We have more than enough Kage. I know that we do."

"Do we? We have over a month till Vytal what's the plan to survive till then?"

"Simple. Don't die. Got to classes. Train, do missions rinse wash repeat."

"That sounds so simple. I wonder how it will fall apart?"

"You are just a pocketful of sunshine you know?"

"Yes I do, if I'm not realistic then who else will be?"

"Quite the moody you sad fuck. Eat your damn meat and potatoes then contemplate suicide like the rest of us."

"Zach that is depressing as fuck."

"So is life Jaune. It's not pretty."

"On that, we agree."

"Why? Do you not like life, Merrick?"

"Oh I love being alive Jaune, but I am not blind to the inconvenience that it often throws our way. To live is to suffer and death will be your freedom. More or less or I think that's how it goes I could be wrong now."

"Why are you so down?" Ruby spat not looking Merrick in his eyes as her robotic eye shot out and zoomed in on him.

"Ah, Ruby! How are you doing today? Enjoying your new chance at life?"

"Yes, I am thank you very much!"

"Glad to see! I hope we can both help each other out in the future! I know some troubling philosophical questions that I may need answered you know?"

"I... I can help you."

"Good to hear! Good to hear! I love it when friends work as one."

"So now that you lot are not hopefully in any mortal danger besides the general one that goes with living in this hell how what's the plan for you sorry shits?"

"Zach."

"Sorry, sir."

"The plan is simple. Do what we do best."

"And that is?" Merrick asked leaning forward as Jaune grinned.

"Fight and win. Team Arkham is not going anywhere anytime soon, and we are going to be great."

"Grimm? Really?"

"Yes Mister Arc, best team or not you need to kill Grimm for Bastion. You are training to be hunters." Ludo said as Jaune nodded. Arkham sat in front of the headmaster's office their new mission briefing an easy one for a change. They were to go to a Grimm infestation area and kill any they saw. The Grimm posed little threat to any outside sources but their fact that there was a potential mob of Grimm that were roosting it was better to kill them now before letting them become a real problem in the future. As such Arkham was called forward to deal with the problem and nip it in the bud.

"How many Grimm are we expecting? And what variants?" Jaune asked as Ludo nodded his stormcloud eyes shining in the fire of the room. The flames flickered out giving off no heat or warmth as Ludo smiled.

"There are at least several dozen Grimm. As for the variants? We expect Ursa, Beowulf and the odd Creep."

"The environment?"

"Close quarters. Expect to get dirty."

"Great. How will we be getting there, Bullhead?"

"The Vesperia is already fueling up. You can be gone within the hour."

"Ok, anything else?'

"Not really just, please. Jaune for my mental health doesn't jeopardize the future of my school again. I think you and your team have done more than enough in the past few days." The man said as Jaune despite himself let out a low chuckle.

"Don't worry sir, I'm sure my team has more than enough stress for the past few days," Jaune said looking back as every member of ARKM even Ruby gave him a death glare that made him sigh.

"Yeah, we are good on suicidal actions. Let's just go out there." Jaune said as ARKM made their move and left the office, it's two occupants, and the cold fire of the hearth behind.

"Down!" Jaune yelled his plasma pistol firing filling the cramped cane environment with a bright blue ball of gas. The rapidly expanding ball smashed into the head of an Ursa with a sickening crack! The monster screamed, a pitiful gurgling sound as it fell backward. Sinking into the frothing sea of black as its comrades surged forward.

"Kage!"

"On it!" The boy said appearing at Jaune's side twin pistols firing. The harsh bangs of the bolt pistols going off filling the air deafened by the helmet that kept Jaunes ears safe. Twin streaks of yellow light came as twin creeps fell back. The large bipedal monsters slamming backward as the Grimm surged up like a tidal wave of black fur shining talons and slobbering jaws.

"Mika! Now!"

"On it boss!" Mika said sliding in front of them, swinging her flamer up as she pulled the trigger.

A low fwoosh! Filled the air as a stream of liquid fire shot out of her weapon Chamberlain. The solid river of flame hit the Grimm wave and broke. The monsters shrieked, the harsh chemical flames slamming into and adhering to their skin at once.

They screamed the monsters shrieked in agony as the flames spread on them like water. The hoard broke their black and grey mass twitching and shaking as they flames consumed them. Jaune was glad he had his mask on as the sight before him fo melting twitching figures was horrific enough, the smell must have been unbearable.

They were in a cave deep underground, and the fact that Kage and Ruby stood without their mask on was a testament to their resilience. Or the fact that they were resigned to fight and die. One way or the other.

"Ruby!" Jaune shouted as she appeared, Ruby had stayed back in most of this fight. Her weapon was not tailored for close quarters combat. The up-close fights suit her well only when she could make full use of her weapons mobility and functionality. But here? Deep underground in a cramped cave she was better at the rear. Taking down any threats from afar with her sniper. Anything that Kage missed would be sniped by her and-

"I see it!" Ruby yell running forward, at a massive Ursa an alpha loomed in front of her. It roared in defiance as Ruby ran ahead scythe raised as-

It happened so fast Jaune didn't have time to blink. Ruby tripped. Her cape caught on a rock as she stumbled the monster roared a massive paw swinging down to crush her head like a grape.

"Ruby! NO!" Jaune eyelid her reeling as-

FISHT! A baleful red light shot of Ruby's face as the monsters face exploded. A bright baleful crimson light shot out of Ruby face as the monster reared, its head turned to a pulp as-

"Ruby-

"Your eye shoots freaking lasers!?" Mika yelled as the team paused and balked.

"It shoots laser!s?" Ruby yelled as a pair of brown eyes nodded.

"I did tell you that it had both offensive and defensive capabilities. I don't see why you are so surprised." Felicia said looking down at her clipboard the sandy blonde adept dressed in white robes looked over her board as ARKM gapped.

"It can shoot lasers!?"

"I already told you it could, why are you still asking?"

"Because I would like to know if my eye shoots freaking lasers!"

"Well, it does, so there?"

"I!"

"How does it shoot them?"

"Well, Jaune, Ruby needs to be in an emotional state to fire them. She needs to be in a strong emotional mood for the eye to fire." Felicia said as she scribbled down into her pad.

"Wait, so I just need to think of something that I don't like?"

"I believe so, the eye is not exactly a work of science."

"It's a literal, mechanical eye. It is probably the most scientific thing you could get without digging up and refining the materials yourself." Kage growled looking down at his friend with a mix of surprise and shock.

"Well, Kage! Since you asked so nicely! The eye is a bit of an... experimental piece of tech!"

"Experimental?"

"It's one of a kind! There is no other like it! The first of its kind!"

"Wait you put an experimental piece of technology in my partner's head?" Jaune asked his cold blue eyes that reminded Felica of daggers of ice bored into her as she sighed.

"I wished you would look kinder than that, you looked cuter when you were less broody you know?"

"I'm not here for that Felica. You put an experimental piece of tech in Ruby's head. What is it, what can it do for her?"

"Well! It can let her see more than she could without her eye."

"Felica."

"Ok! Ok! Well besides vision it gives her tactical advice, can perform basic math equations and distance judgments. Along with a general read of temperature and some GPS abilities it is a normal bionic eye."

"Not taking the laser eye into account right?"

"Right. That was unexpected."

"How unexpected?"

"I knew it had some offensive and some defensive. We do not know all of them and-

"You don't know all of the offensive and defensive capabilities?"

"No Jaune we do not know all of them-

"How? Didn't you design the eye?"

"Yes and no."

"Yes and no? What the hell does that mean?"

"It means it's complicated! We built the majority of the eye, but there are parts of it that we did not have a direct hand in the construction of. We do not know all of the abilities of the eye in question."

"What are the risks of the eye Felicia? Is it dangerous?"

"Unless it explodes from outside force no? It's harmless to her."

"Good."

"Unless! It starts talking to you! Ruby if your eye is talking to you please! Tell us now! You won't be in any trouble, and we will get you a new eye ok?"

"I..."

"Ruby? Is your eye talking to you? If so then just tell Felicia. It's ok we are all here for you."

"It's not talking to me! Ok? It's not." Ruby said bowing her head as Felicia sighed.

"Very well if it does start talking to you tell us right away and do not! Do not follow any advice that it may give you! This eye is not your friend Ruby. It does not have your best interests at heart ok?"

"You seem to know an awful lot about an eye that you claim to be in the dark about."

"Jaune! It's just standard Mechanicus protocol! If your machines start talking to you and they are not designed to, that's a bad thing."

"I can understand that, but besides that, it is not dangerous to her?"

"Not at all!"

"Do I have your word?"

"As an adept of the Mechanicus Jaune, you have my word. So long as the eye does not speak and there is no outside force exerted on it there is little to no chance of harm coming to her."

"Good. Alright, now that we have that out the way, Ruby."

"Yes, Jaune?"

"You eye shoots lasers! That's so cool!"

"Ok. So what do we know about them?" Kage asked as he looked down at Ruby who was staring at her hands her eye zooming in and out of her skull. As team Arkham gathered around her. They had retreated back to their room to see what Ruby's powers were. Well, not in the room itself that would be a bit much. Testing weaponry in the team Arkham dorm was actually banned by Jaune after an incident that happened back in Beacon, in a whole other life. Before he was sentenced to death, before the executions, the raid in the city, dead lands, arena fights, the city, the town. Now Jaune looked at his best friend as they attempted to work out how best to utilize her eye to its fullest abilities.

"Felicia claimed that it can only produce a destructive beam at a range of twenty yards and only if it is in a straight line," Kage stated looked at his scroll the notes they were sent by the adept guiding their discussion.

"It also! Says that she needs to be able to have a strong emotional surge to activate it! If Ruby wants to use her eyes, she needs to get passionate! The more intense her emotions, the more powerful the beam!"

"So the twenty-yard range is an estimate?"

"No, that's probably a minimal range."

"Jaune it's a laser, it doesn't have a minimal range."

"I thought that's the minimum effective range. The heat loss will start to add up after that, and beyond an additional ten yards the weapon dissipates into near harmless levels of heat and radiation." Jaune added looking over his own notes as his team nodded.

"So we are looking at an affecting range of about a quarter of the arena?"

"Something like that."

"Oh! Can she do more than just lasers!?"

"Felicia did say that the eye had both offensive and defensive capabilities," Jaune added as Kage shook his head, his body still wrapped in a light black jumpsuit. He had taken off his new armor on the room for what might have been the very first time.

"She also did not say what said capabilities where."

"That is frustrating," Jaune added already shaking his head.

"So Ruby can have anything from a laser beam to a shield?"

"OH! Can you make a forcefield Ruby!?"

"I don't know I can try!"

"Not in the room!"

"Don't be a spoilsport Kage!"

"I"m not being that! If she fires in the room and it does not do a shield then what? What if it raises the temperature and kills all of us?"

"What are the odds?"

"I really don't want to test them ok?"

"No, Kage is right. We should not test it here. We'll test it at the weapons range."

KESHT! A beam flickered and fizzled as Ruby moaned.

"Good try Ruby, you can do it," Hino said rubbing her smaller friend's shoulder as Ruby pouted.

"But I did it earlier today! Why can't I do it again?"

"Ruby these things take time, you can't expect to know what to do right away. Especially when you just figured out that you can do it." Hino explained comforting Ruby as she sighed.

"Fine," Ruby grumbled as she went back to practice. So far all of Arkham and Hino and Zach had accompanied Ruby to the Bastion targeting Range. The small area built into the mountain was empty at this time. Mainly because Jaune had his... devotees clear out the area of others so they could have it to themselves. So far the training was less than compelling. Ruby had been unable to maintain anything coming near then the beam she displayed in the cave. The five training dummies with brightly painted bullseyes on their chest stood in front of them.

The five silent mannequins seemed to be mocking Ruby as she tried and failed to produce a laser beam from her eyes.

"Come on! Come on you stupid thing! Sorry! I didn't mean it!" Ruby hissed as her eye zoomed out as Jaune sighed.

"Don't worry Ruby we can try again later. You don't need to do this right now."

"No, but I want to do this right now!"

"Hmm, Ruby, Felicia said that the weapon is triggered by intense emotions. Maybe you need to think about something important to make it work?"

"That's a good idea, Kage. Ruby try to imagine something or someone important to you. Think about them and think about protecting them. Maybe that will work?" Hino asked her light brown eyes sparkling with kindness that made Ruby blush.

"Ok, so I just have to think about someone I care about?"

"Why not try love?" Hino asked elbowing her side giving Jaune a look that he missed entirely as Ruby blushed.

"Hino! Don't! Stop it!"

"Ruby this could work you know?" Hino asked rubbing a hand over her friend head ruffling her hair as Ruby flushed.

"Stop that! He might hear!"

"Hear what Ruby?" Jaune asked curious to what his partner was asking as-

"Nothing! I'll try ok." Ruby said blushing focusing as another fisht! A flash of red sparks left her scrunched up eyes as-

"Dang it!"

"Hmmm, let's try another angle on this. Ruby instead of just thinking of Jaune think of other people at Beacon that you know of, you had a team there try them." Kage added as Zach rolled his eyes polishing his twin green pistols in the back.

"Or you lot could try! To be smart and do the obvious thing you know?"

"Zach do you actually have something to say to Ruby or are you just talking?"

"I am not just talking Hino. Ruby think about it you are using a laser! A weapon that kills! Don't think of people you love, think of those you hate." Zach added as Ruby paused, and Jaune shook his head.

"Ruby does not hate anyone Zach."

"Bullshit. She's human she's had to have met someone who rubbed her the wrong way or vice versa."

"She's not like that Zach."

"Why don't you let her answer that question Jaune."

"Zach-

"Ruby. Think about everyone you knew back in Beacon. Did no one piss you off? Where you really friendly with everyone?"

"I... more or less?"

"Come on Red! Where are your fangs!"

"She does not have fangs, Zach."

"I know she does. What did you know, think about them."

"Ok."

"Now look at the dummy who did you know? You knew Jaune, your team was... The Schnee?"

"Weiss."

"The terrorist."

"Ex."

"Same difference."

"Her name is Blake."

"Your sister Yang? Nothing?"

"Nothing?"

"Ok what about blondies team? You have the wonder kid himself but that's not working, the boy? Ren?"

"No."

"Ok, Nora? Or what was his partner Pyrrha-

KESHT!

A bright red beam shot out of Ruby's eye. The second Zach said Pyrrha's name. Instantly one dummy exploded into flames as Ruby's eye annihilated it. The dummies top half was sent flying into the air as it flew up like a rocket, soaring up before crashing down like a meteor.

Exploding onto the ground as the group paused. A hushed silence fell over the two teams as Ruby's eye began to glow and-

"Ruby! You did it! You actually did it!" Jaune said picking Ruby up and wrapping her in a tight hug. Utterly ignorant of the bright blush on the girl's face as he pulled her close. Pushing her face into the crook of his neck making her flush.

"Jaune?! What are you doing!?"

"Hugging you! You did it, Ruby!"

"I did!?"

"You did! You thought of Pyrrha when you blew up the dummy!"

"Jaune-

"You care for her so much the thought of her being harmed made you activate your eye!"

"Is that what you are getting out of this?" Kage asked jaw-dropping as-

"Of course! Kage, what else could it be?"

"I don't fucking believe it. There's just no way you are that dense."

"What do you mean Zach? Ruby cares for Pyrrha. It makes sense that she would activate her eye when-

"Jaune."

"Yes, Kage?"

"You need a drink."

"You buying?"

"Fuck it, why not? I'm buying drinks! Let's get the hell out of here."

"Yay! Party!"

"Yes, Mika we are having a party."

Well to call what was happening in team Arkham's dorm a party might! Have been a bit of a stretch. To party in Bastion, you needed to either be crazy, out of you mind levels of insane. Desperate, on your last legs when you knew your time was almost up. Or celebrating something so popular and public that no one would want to try to take you out during it.

This was not that kind of party.

"So I stabbed them!" Zach said slamming down his bayonet on a wooden crate creating a dull thud! In the air, as he jammed one of his emerald blades downward.

Pointing at Hino and Kage, who sighed.

"Why did you stab them again Zach?" Hino asked rubbing her temples the limits of her patience clearly being tested tonight as Zach glared at her. His eyes waving as the effects of the Bastion liquor took hold on him.

Zach along with some contact in the bowels of Bastion had acquired several crates of liquor for a party. Jaune did not know why they were celebrating besides to show Ruby a good day for unlocking her laser eye.

It had to be activated by either feeling extreme anger or love.

The eye had an effective combat range of thirty yards at a minimum and could cut through most enemy forms.

"HAH! Jaune!"

"Oh boy."

"Yes, Ruby? What's up?"

Jaune asked as his best friend cuddled with him. Ruby's first real taste of liquor was not a smooth transition. The girl was apparently a lightweight and was not taking it well.

Her cheeks red as her cape and her head tilting dangerously as she swung it like a literal bowling ball.

"Ruby watch out!"

"No, you watch out! I'm old enough to drink!" Ruby said hiccuping as Jaune sighed. The red reaper was latched onto his side, her soft, oh so soft frame pressing into his. Jaune winced Ruby's soft developing chest rubbing it at his arm that was forming between them as she purred.

"Ruby! You are really close you know that?!"

"I know that!" Ruby asked snuggling even closer as Jaune groaned.

"Why did you give her liquor?"

"She's a grown adult, who am I to tell her not to drink?"

"Kage! She's our friend!"

"You should take better care of your own partner you know?" The calm voice of Krix said the mysterious fellow leader and Rehab student said as Jaune sighed.

"Krix you are not helping you know that?"

"I am not here to help, I am here to get drunk and not think about suicide ok?"

"I guess so?"

"Cool," Krix said downing a long drink from a large glass bottle. Jaune did not know what was in these bottles only that it was strong. One sip was enough to make him choke, and Ruby had had most of hers.

"Jaune! You feel so warm! I just wanna snuggle with you all day!"

Ruby said forcing herself on Jaune making him blush.

"Ruby! Stop it!"

"NO! You are comfy! I'm going to sleep on your chest from this day on!" The girl said her fake eye zoomed out and half-lidded as she cuddled and-

FISHT! A flame broke out in the middle of the room as one of the boxes, that had once thankfully had liquor, caught light.

"Fuck!"

"Zach!?"

"It was an accident!"

"Put it out!" Jaune yelled as Kage and Zach stomped the flaming box, turning it into broken chips as Jaune groaned.

"How did that happen!?"

"I was messing around with my blades sorry Jaune," Zach admitted as Jaune sighed.

"Fine! Fine! Just don't do it again."

"I- The hell are you doing over there?" Zach asked as Jaune turned and-

'Doing what?" Mika asked as she hugged the wall? Jaune blinked Mika had gone from near center tossing her glass over her head to the far side of the room.

"Mika? The hell are you doing?" Jaune slurred fighting past the liquor coursing in his system desperate for a reason to untangle himself from Ruby before he did something they both would regret.

"Nothing! Just a bit scared of fire you know! Wouldn't want that stuff to touch me!" Mika said looking at the fire as if it might leap out and grip her.

"Your weapon shoots fire. Why no, how are you scared of it?"

"I shoot fire! I don't get near it! Totally different thing!" Mika said hopping down from their perch like a cat as-

"You are literally immortal, woman! What are you so scared of? Not like anything can really kill you!"

"I know that! It's just I don't like fire ok!"

"You use a flamethrower! How the hell do you not like it? IT's all you do!"

"I do more than that!"

"Bullshit!"

"Wait! I'm tired of this!"

"Tired of what blondie?"

"You keep saying she's immortal! That she's a virus, a plague or a pox!"

"Hey! Who says that about me?!"

"Everyone!" Jaune said as all, but Ruby nodded their heads at once.

"You are all mean!"

"Why do you keep calling her that!?"

"You want to know blonde? Let me show you!" Zach said as he got up, moving faster than Jaune thought he could, walking up to Mika raising his pistol posting it to her head.

"Zach!? NO!" Jaune yelled as Zach fired point blank range into her head, no aura flared as-

FISHT! The room when white a blinding white light filled it as Jaune covered his eyes.

"Zach! What the hell-

"Come on Zach!"

"That was totally not cool!" Two voice said as Jaune froze, his drunk mind fight to where right as he looked forward at Mika.

"Jaune?"

"What's wrong?"

"You don't look so good?"

"You need to rest?"

Jaune could not believe it as he looked at two set of green eyes as Mikas spoke to him. The room stopped, the air froze in place as all eyes looked forward and mouths dropped. No one moved, no one talked no one blinked, no one dared to even breath as they glared.

"Jaune?"

"What's wrong?"

Jaune froze as where once he had been looking at one girl now he was looking at two...

AN: And there we have it! ARKM calms down. Ruby has a new eye! Lasers! It was always meant to shoot lasers! And Mika's semblance is finally revealed! I thought a lot about it wondering just what kind of semblance a virus would have. And boy! Did she get a terrifying one! Next chapter Mika's power is explained and we move to the end of the first pillar! Hope you like it! After this is the finale of the first season of Game on then! The beginning of the Apprentice! But not before a special story inspired Couer comes on for Christmas! Until next time Omake...

Omake. Hero of Remnant. Part two, chapter two Meet the family

"Jaune Ciaphis Arc! Is that you!?" A larger bubbly and burning voice said as Jaune smiled.
"Yang Xiao-long. As I live and breathe!"
"You mean as you live and cower! Give me a hug!" Yang said not bother to wait for Jaune's consent wrapping him up in a bone crushing hug as Jaune groaned. The cannones gripped him almost breaking his spine! Her power armor hissed and let out jets of steam as she lifted him off the floor. Her long blonde main flinging around him as she swung him around her chapel monastery.
"AH! I missed you too Yang! But can you not make me hurl!"
Jaune gagged as Yang dropped him like he was a bad hair product. Making Jaune plop to the floor as he groaned.

"Easy there Vomit boy! Don't need you hurling on me again!"

"I did that once."
"Twice."
"Ren! My favorite guardsman! How are you doing?"

"Oh, I've been better."
"He's fine enough to be sarcastic." Jaune groaned getting up on twin shaky legs groaning in pain as Yang laughed. The tall women dressed in her ornate powered armor the color of her hair. With intricate drawings of flames and marks. As the woman smiled Jaune felt a sense of warmth coming from inside of him. Yang was one of the few church botherers that Jaune could actually stand to be around for more than a few minutes without trying to blow thier heads off that is.

The woman was more about the purging with fire part of the church rather than the Monty botherers that spent half the day praying to Oum to save thier lives and souls. Though Jaune did not fault those who prayed hell he prayed enough for all of Remnant combined he tended to have the good graces to only call Oum during an emergency. Often when the bullets where flying and there was a two-story monster charging him down. Dredged up from the depths of humanities nightmares and Jaune was armed with only a rusty bayonet.

"So! I heard you got yourself a unit Arc! Show me the unlucky son's of bitches that get to fight for you!"
"One. That's sir Yang. And yes I do have a unit. The one hundred and eighth Atlesian."
"Hey, I know that unit! My sister is in it!"

"You have a sister?" Jaune asked raising an eyebrow as Yang nodded. Her massive man on hair flowing as her ample chest piece struggled to hold in her abundant chest.

"Sure do! You can't miss her!"

"I have never seen her-

"Yang!"
"Ruby!"
"Ruby?" Jaune thought as Rose? The acting commander zoomed in form behind hugging? Yang and-

"Ruby! I missed you so much!"

"You to Yang!"
"Ruby!?"
"AH! Sir! This is my sister! You said I could come during my shore leave-

"Yang is your sister!?"

"Sure is! Best big sis in the world!"

"How?!"

"I know we look nothing alike! So Ruby tell me! How is Jaune as a leader?" Yang asked as Jaune felt his blood go cool as ice, as he gulped loudly. As the feeling one gets when the world is about to send them into a sprial of pain filled his body as-

"Oh! IT's great!"

"Did he try anthing on you?"
"What? No, besides almost killing me he's great!"

"Oh hell."
"Arc!"

"Why me?"
