Chapter 29
Sitting at his desk with a yawn of the early morning, Ozpin rubbed his eyes as he looked through the many reports of… the courtyards damage?
Frowning at this he went over the report to see what had happened, and all of it points to a certain mad grinner, looking through the photo's of the damage caused Ozpin pulled out one that showed the being himself posing for the camera, allowing Ozpin to see his clothing torn like he had been in a fight, this also had a note attached from a Mrs Scarlatina… requesting a copy of the photo.
Placing the photo to the right Ozpin looked through the damages to see that most of them would have caused a ruckus last night.
"This seems odd to have happened without anyone knowing" Ozpin said before the photo of a posing Zecromac was picked up by Hoshi who had a disapproving look to what could possibly be labelled her and Ozpin's "Grandson".
"Hoshi tell me… I'm going to get a lot of head aches… aren't i?" Ozpin questioned with Hoshi smiling to him.
"No you won't, from what the damage shows… he was fighting someone, but how so silent?' Hoshi said before they looked up to see Wakai skidding to the desk, small amounts of lightning hovering around his being until he stopped.
"I know who Zeke was fighting" looking to Wakai with a frown, Ozpin spoke.
"Who was it?"
"Some arrogant sow named Raven Branwen, I tracked her band of underlings out of vale, I just came back to ask what you want me to do?" turning to Hoshi who shook her head, Ozpin nodded and spoke.
"Nothing for now, Just keep an eye on Loki Please" Ozpin said with Wakai nodding before vanishing with a spark of lightning.
Leaving Ozpin to sigh as he began to call for repairs, Hoshi helping him with other reports with Glynda gone for damage control over Zecromac.
Seeing a set of reports from the academies scanners Hoshi spoke to Ozpin.
"Oz, What's this about scanners being disabled in Forever Fall forest and other areas?"
"Yes those, just recently our scanners have been either destroyed or shut off, I would have sent another team but I was busy with other matters, mainly keeping James from going overboard" Ozpin said before he sighed.
"Along with the meeting with the council relinquishing my control of security to James" Ozpin said with Hoshi frowning.
"Those old fools will be their own downfall" Hoshi said before the entire school shook, making her fall onto Ozpin who caught her in his lap, making the two share a look before they heard a very loud groan from the emerald Forest, helping Hoshi up the two ran to the window to see… an amazing spectacle.
Standing in equal height to the tower of Beacon, Terragon stood as a giant rubbing his neck where loud pops rose from, opening his eyes while lowering his hand the giant clenched his right hand tightly with a smile spreading on his lips.
"Aeron, it worked" looking to his right shoulder the wind archeress sat smiling while Fuyu stood calmly while admiring the view, especially all the students running outside to see the spectacle of Terragon, making a smile spread over Fuyu's face he turned to Terragon who gave a salute.
"Well done brother, now all we need to do now is shrink you back, do what you did before but think of returning to normal size" Aeron said with Terragon frowning in thought before his size began to shrink, with large amounts of stone crumbling off his skin that made up his growth, with many staring in awe until Terragon had shrunk enough out of view until a boom was heard in the forest that was followed by an impact on the cliff, showing Terragon holding Aeron piggy back, the woman cheering like a child while Terragon smiled at her.
Standing at the window with their teams, Yang spoke with a whistle.
"That's gonna get a lot of turned heads?"
"Yeah, hopefully Irondick doesn't think it's a threat" Odin said with Blake nodding before they noticed the doors to the cafeteria opening, making her eyes brighten up at the sight of Nora helping a wheelchair bound Loki into the cafeteria, making him wave to the two teams he was engulfed in a hug by Blake and Yang, Ruby and Weiss, his team smiling at the sight before they began to sit back down to eat, with Loki getting a plate of chicken sandwiches from Gabrielle she smiled as he sat down.
The eight enjoying the meal until Cardin came and petted Loki on the back, a smile on his face.
"Good to see your back up and running Fenris" Cardin said as everyone turned to him.
"Hey Cardin" Ruby greeted happily with the former bully nodding in greeting, turning as the doors flew open to show a streak of bright blue lightning moving around before it stopped with a crash above, looking up they saw Wakai with his foot imbedded into a support beam.
"Uh, I may have moved to fast this time!"
"I take it that's one of your technical kids?" Cardin questioned with Loki turning to him with a frown.
"What?"
"People have been saying their your kids technically, seeing as they saw your drawings" Cardin said before he was brought into a one armed hug by a normal looking Zecromac, his chest bare beneath the torn trench coat he wore, showing scars beneath, one being an upside down cross.
"Hit the nail on that one eh?" Zecromac said with a smile before he was pulled away by Oshanzu who dusted Cardin up.
"Sorry for him, He's tending to appear out of nowhere repeatedly, and me cleaning after him" turning to Loki he had a frown of pleading.
"Why did you make me like a butler?"
"Anime" was the simple answer Loki gave him, making Oshanzu sigh until Loki added to his answer.
"Sebastian is a really good butler along with Alfred and Walter C. Dornez" Loki said with Oshanzu perking up at hearing the last name, looking to his attire his clothing rippled into a new attire, a black butler attire with black fingerless gloves with chain bracelets wrapped around his wrists, both covered thinly with ice.
"Hmm, I think I'll keep this" Oshanzu said as Zecromac broke his head through beneath the table, startling everyone as he ate a chicken leg with his maw of teeth.
Making Weiss feel uneasy and fearful at the sight.
"You alright" Loki questioned with Weiss nodding, making Zecromac duck through the hole he made to appear beside Loki.
"I figured out what my power was" Zecromac said with everyone turning to him as he held a distortion in his left hand.
"I can create a pocket dimension of this world, it looks shattered to everyone else but I can see it as short cuts, isn't that cool" Zecromac said with everyone but Yang surprised, looking down in shame she went to eat until a piece of a mask appeared in her hand, making her blink at recognising it as her supposed mothers, looking to Zecromac he smiled.
"Thought I'd get you a souvenir before that wench ran off" with that Zecromac left through a distortion.
"You must've had a heck of a imagination as a kid Loki" Odin said with Loki looking down.
"I was bullied a lot as a kid, so I must've made them as an escape" Loki said before he sighed, sitting back the others went into conversation, with Fuyu watching from a support beam beside Wakai, moving to leave until their eyes glowed as Hoshi's voice echoed in their minds.
'I have need of your assistance, please report to Ozpin's office' blinking as her voice left them, the two shared a look before Wakai and him left through their own means.
"So, it's only two months till the Festival is here, we've been given those months to relax and recover, anyone have any plans for our short break?" Yang said with the teams sharing a look.
"Me and Yennefer are going to visit our parents at Mistral" Odin said with Gabrielle hopping onto his shoulder.
"I'm sticking around here" Loki said with a raised hand.
"Pyrrah and I are heading to my families estate, My mom wants to meet the "Goddess of Victory", you can imagine the excitement my sisters had when that call ended"
"We're also staying here for the break" Lie Ren said with Nora hugging Loki with Blake.
"I may also stay" Weiss said with Yang and Ruby smiling.
"We're heading home for our break, make sure dad didn't burn the house down" Yang said with Ruby snorting at actually remembering the time he did nearly burn the whole kitchen.
"Yeah, well, Feel free to say hi to the man for me, Been a while since I last saw him here" Loki said nonchalantly.
"What about those from Haven, Emerald and Mercury, and that other girl?" Gabrielle questioned with Loki smiling in mischief.
"I, have Zeke on prank duty on those three, Neo is now stuck with them in her disguise and She's safe from Zecromac's mind fucks" Loki said with the team wincing as literally hearing the mad man's laugh in their minds, with Yang not so freaked out.
Lowering a drink from his mouth, Odin spoke.
"So when are you set to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning, so we won't be here in the morning" Yang said with the others nodding.
"Well, I'll be back, I have to check something" Loki said as he stood up, getting a farewell wave from Pyrrah and Jaune.
Letting out a grunt after a right hook, Blake sent the metal punching bag into pieces with Loki an Nora watching from the sidelines, the two blinking as Blake let out a breath as she stepped to the duo, wearing sweat pants with a black tank-top she caught the water bottle Loki tossed to her.
Making Blake gulp down the water with Loki admiring her abs and curves with Nora smiling at catching him.
"So, how long have you been able to do this?" Loki questioned the cat Faunus who crushed the bottle after emptying it in her throat, tossing it into a far bin it landed with no trouble.
"Ever since the breach, Each night I feel like my body has been changing, at the beginning it was only my aura that's been feeling odd, then my body regenerating beyond normal means and now I've been able to hit harder, run faster… lift heavier things, Whatever it is it is basically making me stronger"
"That and you've been eating more meat based foods than normal" Nora said with a frown of her own, making Loki nod in thought.
"What happens once you look at a full moon?" turning to Loki in confusion, Nora turned back to Blake who frowned in thought, her ears opened to the world with the three plus Weiss being the only ones in the school along with the faculty.
"I don't know, I never really thought of doing that" Blake said with Loki standing up, his clothes rippling into a pair of jeans with a tank-top.
Walking to what remained of the makeshift punching bag he noticed the indents of Blake's knuckles.
Kneeling down to pick up the scrap he frowned at remembering how his lycanthropy took form over time, looking to his left hand he clenched it tightly.
"So where are the kids?"
"It still feels weird calling them that since their basically adults" turning to Nora and Blake Loki spoke.
"Hoshi has asked them to help her and Ozpin with something, when I asked they simply told me to enjoy the break" Loki said with Blake frowning as she got another bottle of water with Nora also drinking from a bottle.
Letting out a sigh Nora spoke.
"I'm not complaining, So, what shall we do during our break, go to the movies, help Weiss Mellow out… orgy?" turning to Nora with heavy blush's growing on their cheeks, making Nora blush herself.
"Sorry… that last one came out by accident" Nora said before Loki smiled and brought them both into a hug, kissing them both on the lips they smiled.
"Let's just focus on Blake's new strengths for now" Loki said with Blake hugging his arm.
"But first, food, I'm starving" Blake said with a smile.
"Maybe we can get Weiss to join us" Nora suggested playfully with Blake and Loki smiling at her.
"The food or that accident?" Blake questioned with Nora looking away with a blush, making Loki laugh as they left the gym.
later that night
Landing within a clearing inside the Emerald Forest Loki's relaxed look was replaced by one of worry as he held his right hand up, watching as his skin cracked and flaked away to show bone like muscle.
seeing this for the fifth time since his labelled "death" this sight had been a haunting ache that continued to make itself known.
Watching it spread up to his elbow he saw a golden intricate bracelet materialise on his wrist, making him frown as it took on the hieroglyphs of Egyptian language.
Making him blink in confusion before the arm shattered into ash that fell to the ground, leaving his arm as it originally was before he looked up at seeing Beowolf watching him from the surroundings bush's, most of them staring in curiosity, the others he spotted yellows eyes.
Making Loki frown before an alpha approached him, making Loki stare as it calmly stood before him, staring into his eyes before lowering its head to him, making Loki frown before his right hand cautiously moved to its head.
