Chapter 34

Staring in anger and confusion at the sight of Coco Adel and Yatsuhashi being beaten by Emerald and Mercury, Loki Fenris was the only one not cheering or booing at the duo's victory, in fact, he was glaring openly to a smirking Emerald as medi-teams ran out to tend to Coco and Yatsu's injuries.

Turning to see Cinder Fall smiling while clapping, she stopped and stared at him with a smug look, losing the smugness as Loki's face was replaced with a skull glaring at her before he turned and stood up, leaving his team and girlfriends in worry as he began to make his way to the medical wards in the coliseum.

Seeing the sight of Loki, Blake and Nora left to make sure he was alright.

With Cinder walking away from them, a look of fear slowly etching onto her features.

An image of that demonic skeleton chasing her surfacing once more.

Stepping into the hospital room with Blake and Nora following, Loki stopped at the sight of Coco sporting a black eye and a quickly fading scar over her face, and seeing the sight of an unconscious Yatsuand badly hurt Coco.

Loki's hands clenched tightly with his gold eyes melting into blood red, unconsciously making a Beowolf somewhere lash out at an Ursa Major.

Inhaling deeply to calm himself, Blake placed a reassuring hand on Loki's shoulders, making him nod in thanks before moving to help Velvet.

It had taken him and the others an hour for them to get Velvet away from Yatsu's sleeping form, leaving Loki the last one in the room trying to help quicken Coco's face healing, showering her wound with healing ashes, the wolf sighed as he stared at the now scar less face of Coco.

Placing a reassuring hand on her right shoulder, she let out a groan of "five more minutes" eliciting a smile from Loki as he moved to leave, letting the door close behind him, he failed to see Mercury leaning on a wall until he chuckled at Loki.

Making the wolf stop in his tracks as his eyes melted into blood red once more.

"It must've hurt, seeing them like that, even poor little Velvet"

Turning to Loki as his hands clenched tightly with a growl echoing from him, Mercury continued.

"I should have aimed for the head with that last kick, huh?"

Staring at Loki's back as ash began to rise off of him now, Mercury frown as the ash was followed by a deep red glow, seeing Loki turn his head, Mercury froze in fear as Loki's once golden eyes were replaced by blood red orbs of rage, the cracks of gold light replaced by a black abyss beneath the skin.

"Keep talking like that Mercury, and you'll be needing more then prosthetic arms"

With that Loki left to join his team in the dorm, not noticing his reflection in a window a roaring behemoth of a skeleton mimicking his movements.

Upon arriving to Beacon, Loki spotted Weiss waving to her sisters ship as it flew off, approaching his heiress girlfriend, Loki enveloped her in a hug, hoping to calm himself down, he got a positive result with Weiss hugging his arms with a hum, ignoring her scroll ringing.

"So… is your sister still gunning for my throat?"

"She has, come to an agreement"

"As long as it doesn't involve me being stabbed in the throat." With that he kissed her neck, making her giggle as she turned in his arms, facing him as he smiled.

The next day

(And victory goes to Penny and Ciel of Atlas!)

Smiling at seeing Penny and her teammate win their match, Loki sat back with a sigh as Yang sat against him, seeing Ruby leave to congratulate penny, leaving Loki with the others.

"So… mind telling us where you and Ice queen were last night?"

"Oh… yeah we were both tired so we… bunked in my own room cause it was closest"

"You do realise our rooms are closer to the dormitories entrance… right?" staring at the blonde beauty beside him, Loki smirked and let his hand caress her left cheek, giving a squeeze that made Yang grin back.

"I'll make it up to you in due time" leaning to share a kiss the two heard Blake call to Yang, seems their match was getting prepped.

Making Loki frown in confusion

"Wasn't Weiss supposed to fight with…" stopping at seeing the white themed girl limping to them, she gave Loki a all too sweet smile as Yang left quickly.

"Have mercy?"

"Oh I'll give you mercy alright!"

"Alright, any plan for strategy?" turning to her partner as they stood within the arena, Blake spoke with her eyes glowing briefly.

"We'll figure a plan out when we see out opponents" saying this, a blur of rainbow zoomed by them, making Blake and Yang blink before they stared at the sight of a pigtailed Faunus girl with roller blades and a cat tail swishing around her weapon next to a young man wearing a fedora and sunglasses, holding a trumpet in one hand.

Waving happily to the two Blake's eyes glowed as she let out a deep hiss, her new jaguar instincts coming to surface until Yang calmed her down.

"What's her problem?" turning to the pink haired Faunus' remark, Yang went to explain until her teammate spoke rudely.

"The Schnee must have rubbed off on her seeing the Heiress is her teammate!" seeing the man insult their teammate and ultimately Blake, Yang narrowed her eyes.

"Now listen here, bud-"

"Now listen here, bud. That's what you sound like!" seeing the girl smiling cheekily, Yang now cracking her knuckles as her hair floated slightly with a renewed fire.

"Hey! Where'd you get your hair extensions?" ignoring the girls mocking tone, Yang's eyes glowed.

"Oh you just crossed a line"

Not even paying attention to the holographic roulette as the four glared at each other, Blake baring her now sharpened teeth, slowly letting it melt into a smirk as she stood, ready to charge with Yang.

Just as the terrains of the volcanic area, sandy desert, steaming geysers, and ruined buildings rose, with Ports voice echoing over the stadium.

(Three! Two! One! Begin!)

Hearing the teacher declare the battle a start, Blake let out the most vicious roar she was now able to muster as she gave chase to Neon Katt, leaving Flynt Caol against a smirking Yang, her right fist cocked back with a more bulked up arm that was spewing a golden fire.

Sending him flying into the ruined buildings part of the arena, his jaw sporting a bruise with a tooth falling from his mouth as he groaned.

While Blake, having shifted into her lycanthropic jaguar state, gave Neon a new exercise she liked to call, Big cat chasing little kitten.

With the rollerblading girl looking back to see a furred Blake giving chase, her figure leaving the males stunned, while Loki smirked as his team turned to him with knowing looks, standing up he yelled to her with a wide smile.

"GO GET EM, BLAKE!" smirking as the cat/Jaguar Faunus slid to a stop ahead of Neon, the pink haired cat noticed her too late, resulting with Blake's own tail snaking around the pink cat faunus' waist, putting her on the ground to Blake's mercy, staring at her Belladonna's bared teeth, Neon gulped as Blake winked with a smirk before knocking her out with a swift punch, resulting with yang and Blake the winner.

Pulling the girl off of the ground, Blake made her way to the centre of the arena with the crowd cheering, Blake's fur receding to her now loos clothing, thankfully still hiding her decency.

Seeing Yang join her, the two shared a smile before Yang pulled Blake into a kiss, walking away with Blake's mind set into reboot, dropping Neon in the process.

Leaning back with a shared laugh, Loki noticed Yang wave to him with her hips swaying, gaining the attention of Blake who gave chase.

Her words easily heard as "Yang you can't just do that and walk off!"

Laughing softly at his two girlfriends, following Ruby and a wincing Weiss to congratulate the two, Odin and Yennefer sharing a snicker as Gabrielle ate in comforting silence.

Standing within the headmaster office with a sigh of contempt, Ozpin had his back to the elevator, Hoshi down below to try another shot at healing Amber in the pod, he turned his head slightly at the Elevator opening to show Qrow stepping forward, setting a mug of coffee on the desk, he glanced to a photo frame of Ozpin and Loki standing side by side, covered in grease after one of their failed experiments blowing up on them.

Looking up,Qrow smiled slightly.

"Seems your son has been sharing some skills with his little fan club"

Seeing Ozpin nod with a chuckle, he spoke.

"He has, the news even made Ironwood stop and think"

"You know, he's making you look like a fool."

"His heart is in the right place. He's just... misguided" snorting at the thought of Ironwood, his eyes narrowing in thought before he spoke.

"Sometimes, I'm not even sure he has a heart." Taking a small sip from his cup, Qrow turned to Ozpin.

"Have you noticed anything about the Grimm lately?" seeing the headmaster swirl in his chair to face him, Ozpin had a frown of confusion.

"What of the Grimm, has a new species been discovered?" seeing Qrow bring out his scroll, it showed an image of a Beowolf… protecting a Faunus child from an Ursa.

Frowning at the sight of the Beowolf, Ozpin looked to Qrow for more details.

"It's happening all over Remnant… after the train wreck in Vale square… and Loki's death." Swiping through his scroll, many other scenes and reports of Beowolf protecting human and Faunus came to light.

"Whatever happened to Loki when he died and came back, The Beowolf have suddenly chosen a new hobby it seems"

The last image, made Ozpin stop and stare for a good minute or so, because the Beowolf roaring on the screen, held a woman protectively in it's arms.

"How long do you think it will take for Her, to notice the shift in loyalties?" looking to the screen Ozpin spoke without missing a beat.

"She may already know"
