GARO Saviors of Remnant
(Start Patch Xiao Long/Merlot/Shiro Residence)
Yang Xiao Long lifts up her head, arms as the ready for a fight. Taiyang Xiao Long takes a swing at her with his left hand, but she easily blocks it with her robotic wrist, pushing his hand away from her. The interplay repeats with his right and her left, only this time Yang uses the momentum to turn and come back at her father with a roundhouse kick. Taiyang bends backward to dodge it, his legs in a lunge. He gives his daughter a solid punch, pushing her back a few feet.
Nearby, Zwei and Iris watched the two spar, panting and smiling happily respectively. Beside the two is a low stool with two white towels as Iris held two bottles of water. His head changes angles, oscillating to the sounds of grunts and contact. Abruptly he holds his head straight and makes a noise of surprise.
Taiyang stands alone and moves forward, doing his own roundhouse kick. Yang joins both hands atop each other to block Tai's landing foot. With a loud cry she pushes it up and back. Taiyang regains his footing in a flip while Yang waits for his landing. Using her robotic arm, she knocks him back with a single hit. Holding onto his right bicep, Tai slides through the dirt his feet flat on the ground until he comes to a stop and Raymond raised his arm in response.
"Match! Yang Xiao Long wins!" Raymond declared as Yang won this one as Iris cheered for her nearby which Yang took the praise with stride and a grin.
"Whoa, that thing packs a punch!" Taiyang stood up looking a bit perplexed.
"We've been at this for weeks. I get it, you wanna make sure I can still fight." Yang bumps her own fists. "I think I'm doing just fine." Yang said as she was ready to rock and roll.
"You're close." Tai said as he stood upright, no longer nursing his arm. Walking around his daughter in a circle, while he assesses her progress.
Yang arched an eyebrow. "Oh, really?" Yang asked as she wanted to see what her father would saw to that.
"You're still off balance." Raymond said with his arms crossed as he observed Yang's movements from a warrior's standpoint.
Yang looks at her friend (and secret crush) with a glare. "What?! No I'm not!" Yang argued as she glared at Raymond.
Taiyang chuckles. "She doesn't get it." Taiyang thought with an amused smile.
"Honestly, I'm kind of surprised." She lifts her robotic arm, looking down at it with a smile. "I thought it would be just this huge weight, but it feels… natural. They did a great job with this thing." Yang said as she was surprised at how well this arm was made. But then out of nowhere Tai came back in and delivered a left hook right into her face.
Yang's upper body rears back both from impact and surprise. She's ready to block his right hook, however, and uses the turning momentum to deliver an elbow jab. Grinning the entire time, Tai blocks it and then dodges all the kicks she follows through with. Yang switches to punches, but Tai is too on point for her. While she uses her left hand to block an elbow thrust, Tai has grasped her robotic arm and pulled it forward. The position puts Yang in the position of having her balance rely on the weight of one leg.
"I wasn't talking about your actual balance." Raymond said as Taiyang smirked as he showed what Raymond had meant. Taiyang then sweeps her forward leg, sending her onto the ground on her back. He leaves her there and walks over to Zwei and Iris, who happily gets the top towel for him.
"Although, that could use some work too," Tai said as he grab the towel from Zwei before the dog sits and gets a pat on the head with a scratch behind the hear as Raymond said, "Your too up forward while fighting."
"Meaning?" Yang asked as she didn't really get what Raymond said as Tai wipe his with the towel as he said to his daughter, "I saw your tournament fights. During the Vytal Festival."
"Let me guess, "I was sloppy"", Yang said as Tai pause for a moment as he said, "No, no you were predictable. And... Stubborn."
"As well you hesitated at times, even in the last fight you won, as it seem you were about to hit Mercury, but didn't as instead you got hurt by him," Raymond said as Yang wrenched to that thought as Tai look to him as he said, "I was about to go with a little boneheaded."
Yang stood up as Raymond look to Tai and said, "All the same she was easy to read, as Yang, you rely on your semblance way too much."
"Yea, what he's saying, as did you know you use it to win every fight after the qualifiers?" Tai asked as Yang turn around and said, "So what? How is me using my semblance and different than someone else using theirs?"
"Because not everyone else is a basically a temper tantrum," Tai with Raymond added in, "And you found out your semblance can not only hurt someone... but could kill a person too. The time at the dock, against Kiba the first time, was proof enough to know, that moment put a fear inside of you that also made you vulnerable."
Yang hand shake to that thought... the thought of her killing someone, even by accident she still did, as Kiba may have live through it afterwards, but no one else is like him, and the fight against the bull Faunus that chop off her arm didn't help much her mine set as well.
As Tai said this as he look to the Makai knight and said, "Stop scaring her, she had enough of that as it is."
"But you can't forget a moment like that, no matter how much time a person train, a memory like that would last a life time and no Makai magic could make a person forget the feeling of it ether," Raymond said as he speak the truth as Tai said, "Maybe, but that doesn't mean we should keep being reminded of it."
Raymond held up his hand as he said, "Fine, I won't say it."
"Good... now as I was saying," Tai said as he turn to his daughter and walk up to her as he said, "you relay on your semblance a lot, as you can take the damage, and dish it back twice as hard, but that doesn't make you invincible!"
Yang turns to her dad as he went on saying, "It's great when you're in a bind, but what happens if you miss? What happens if they're stronger? What then? Now you're just weak and tired!"
Yang turn back to the ground as she didn't want to say it but her father did have a point as Tai went on saying, "You've always been one to burn brighter than everyone else, whether it was with your smile, or, well, I remember your first haircut." Tai brush again Yang hair, as she smack his arm away as Tai just laugh at that, with Yang kind of smiling as well to that.
"Um what happened during that haircut?" Iris asked as Raymond responded with a silent shrug at this.
"But you gotta keep your emotions in check." Tai said as he walked away a bit as Iris sat on a stool watching the event play out. "Keep a level head, and think before you act." Tai said as Raymond decide to chime in his own wisdom.
"Yang your Semblance is a powerful fallback but if you make it the sole power you can use if and when it fails you... your foes will capitalize on it." Raymond said as he knew Yang against a Grimm or Horror she isn't afraid to hold back... but against another human being after what her Semblance did to Nexus when he lowered his Aura enough for her to do that he knew people will capitalize on it.
"He's right but you definitely have your mom's stubbornness." Tai said as Yang heard this as Raymond saw a bad move there.
"Oh, so now we can talk about her." Yang said as she glared at her father as Zwei and Iris heard this.
"Well as I have been informed you are an adult now, remember?" Tai said as Raymond saw the good save there but he saw the sadness in his movement.
"Well sorry that I remind you of her." Yang said as she looked away sounding a bit depressed about this.
"Don't be." Tai began as Raymond heard this. "Raven was great in so many ways. Her strength, her ambition, and her dedication to whatever cause she thought was worth fighting for." Tai said as he looked over to Yang who was still sitting down cross legged. "I'm proud of how much of her I see in you." Tai said as he was clearly unaware of Raven's involvement in Nexus creation. "But, I'm glad I don't see all of her in you." Tai said as he may also have some sort of idea of what Raven had been doing.
"Why?" Yang asked as she looked to her father who then sighed in response to her.
"Your mother was... a complicated woman." Tai said as he looked to Yang as Iris and Raymond heard this. "Life everyone, she had her faults but those faults are what tore our team apart." Tai said as no doubt Raven leaving had left a scar on them among some of her other actions. "And it did a real number on our family." Tai said as Raymond heard this as he listened as he waited to jump in when able.
"But how?" Iris asked as Tai and Yang heard the girl as Raymond sighed.
"Iris... go inside and grab some drinks I'm thinking we may need it." Raymond said as Iris wanted to stay as she was about to object.
"Best listen for now you're too young for this sort of conversation." Goruba said as Iris then sighed in response.
"Ok." Iris said as she then went inside to grab the drinks in questions.
"Now then, you both act like the easiest way to tackle an obstacle is through it. That strength is all that matters in a fight." Tai said as Raymond heard this. "But if you just take a second look..." Tai said as he gestured to Zwei as Raymond then walked by a bit.
"That sometimes the easiest way to tackle an obstacle is to not face it at all and go around." Raymond said as Tai smiled as he saw Raymond helping him.
"Took the words right out of my mouth... and then butchered them." Tai said as Raymond chuckled a bit as he then sighed sadly.
"Its days like these that I miss that Golden Idiot of a leader." Raymond said as he then reached his hand to Yang. "Come on then Yang lets have another spar before dinner... this time I'll be your opponent." Raymond said as Yang smiled as she then took his hand and allowed him to help her up.
The two began to get ready into a combat stance as Raymond was calm in his stance opting for hand to hand combat as Yang had taken her normal stance as well. Soon the two charged at each other as Raymond was easily able to bob and weave through Yang's attacks as she began to block and defend when Raymond attempted to return fire. But then the two ended up in a lock as Raymond smirked a bit as he saw this.
"Good... Good your learning." Raymond said as he saw how Yang was getting the hang of this. "About time you started using your-" Raymond began but missed Yang's smirk before she used her feet to knock him off his own. Raymond saw this and then flipped and slid away and got his feet back under him and then charged. Yang smirked before using her feet and arms and finally got Raymond knocked down hard as Raymond saw this.
"Well... seems someone is getting better in more ways than one." Raymond commented with his rare smile as he began to get back up as this match was Yang's.
(Meanwhile Atlas Schnee estate Garage)
Not many knew this but the Schnee Family had a workshop type of garage as Nicholas Schnee had used it to create the first Dust that started the Company. Of course when Jacques Schnee took over the workshop was replaced by a pure garage for expensive cars and such. Needless to say it didn't take long for Aron to get rid of most of them and help distribute them to those who need it. Company Car's, donations, selling them, and trashing them for parts. Of course Willow Schnee being the SDC head now was making strides for reforms mainly involving the workers and such.
Many of these reforms included compensating the families of those who died in the mines as well as firing the more racist members of the board with Ironwoods help of course, and most of all giving the needed promotions to those in the Company who earned it which included of course the Faunus who worked there. It may not stop the White Fang completely but it was a start in the right direction which was already yielding good results. Aron of course suggested they used the old Android Models from the Atlas military to go to the more dangerous part of the mines as despite Willow's increasing worker safety in said mines the more important dust were in the deeper part of it. All it would take is reprogramming them and they basically have the needed workers for the deeper mines and best part no charge for payment. She knew her daughter and Aron were an item thus she had to make sure they can at least be together in a world that would basically allow those like... Akane to at least have a chance.
Nearby Weiss was practicing her Summoning Glyph as she had summoned purely by accident in her rage and considering her own father turned Horror was using both her and her family for his needs she didn't want to rely on rage alone. Of course she had also been studying up on Ollette's tomes and scrolls to get herself up to par as a Makai Alchemist. Through these she discovered that an Alchemist served in a wide variety of positions more so then a Knight. Though many Alchemists had been known to support Makai Knights some Knights abandoned Knighthood in favor of the mystic arts of the Makai Alchemy.
Many of these positions included constructing Madou Tools, sealing away powerful Horrors, safe guarding ancient knowledge, and even opening pathways to areas Knights need to perform duties in. So right now she had made minor modifications to her Mystranger to have it allow the Madou Tools material to be used. She made sure she still had the old one in case she needed it but right now the Madou Mystranger was still in the constructing and testing phase.
Weiss focused on her needed skill as she was now sporting a Madou Brush on her person as nearby on a table were Madou Tools as she then brought forth her summoning Glyph. Soon as the Glyph appeared she focused as a large sword began to rise from it showing she was making progress. "Hello, sister." Came a new voice as Aron heard this as did Weiss as it broke her concentration a bit.
"Great; Shitly what do you want?" Aron asked as he had a little tool ready to toss to Weiss's younger brother who was still sporting his black eye curtesy of Aron who is basically untouchable thanks to Weiss and Willow Schnee.
"Why you..." Whitely growled seeing Aron acting like his better but Weiss then glared as well.
"Whitely if you're here to start whining, complaining, or insulting me or my boyfriend then leave." Weiss growled as she didn't want nor need to deal with, Whitely right now.
"And here I was about to offer you a favor." Whitely said as Aron kept working on his bike.
"Then offer it or beat it your call bro." Aron said as Whitely wasn't even worth the effort of his infamous 'your next line is,' taunt.
"Well... mother is heading out to meet with the Atlas council and wanted me to see if either of you would like anything seeing as you two are preoccupied with your own... tasks." Whitely said as Aron noted how the word 'mother,' and 'tasks,' left his mouth with such disdain.
"If she can grab me a cheeseburger that will be great no offense but rich people food and I don't get along. Oh and maybe some fries and a soda." Aron said as he kept working as he was one to say a lot 'rich a-holes will be rich a-holes,' but he found rich food wasn't his favorite thing... though he did come to enjoy Klein's cooking and coffee.
"Nothing at the moment." Weiss said as she was good as she was about to go back to practicing.
"Well then I'll leave you to your... pet for now." Whitely said as Aron looked to Weiss as she gave a silent signal not to do what he was thinking of... yet.
"Are you jealous? Is that it?" Weiss asked as she looked to her younger brother.
"Whatever do you mean?" Whitely asked smugly as he was unaware Aron and Weiss were about to get even with him for his comment on Aron being a pet.
"Is that why you hate me? Are you jealous of my abilities? Of Winters? Of Mothers?" Weiss asked as Aron was ready to set off his little plan with Weiss against Whitely.
Whitely, who was leaning against the door frame, stood up straight as, he began to think it over. "No, not really." Whitely said as he looked to the two here. "Honestly, I find it barbaric. It's beneath people like me. Like father before his insanity from you ruining him." Whitely said as she glared at Weiss and Aron both as Aron was half tempted to give Whitely a second Black Eye to go with the first one. "One can a single Huntsman do than that of an army could not?" Whitely asked as it was clear he was deep in Jacques line of thinking.
"Sure as hell more than you can do sitting high up in your throne like an arrogant jackass." Aron said as Weiss glared a bit.
"Aron language... I won't have you insulting my brother here..." Weiss began as Whitely heard this but she wasn't done. "Even if it is well deserved." Weiss said showing she was trying to be civil but was showing her recent disdain for her brother's recent actions and conspiring with there now dead father to take away her inheritance.
"Well mongrel it's why we have an army for those like you. Even if said army is run by a fool." Whitely said as Aron was about ready to sock him in the face.
"I said, leave." Weiss growled as she knew without her father here Whitely had practically nothing to back them into a corner with.
"Fine, Fine. I'll leave you to your... training." Whitely said as he began to walk away. "By the way what do you two intend to accomplish hold up in here?" Whitely asked as soon Aron had enough.
"Hey Shitely." Aron called out as soon Whitely had Aron's chain at his ankles which then yanked him down and in turn hit his head on the floor hard as Whitely cried out in pain from them. Aron then jumped over and grabbed the rich boy and threw him out of the room just before Weiss slammed the door shut with her Glyphs.
"I'll say it again your brother is real piece of work." Aron said as he went to continue his maintenance on his motorcycle.
"I know." Weiss said as she honestly agreed with him.
"Offer still stand to break his legs and humble him." Aron offered as he finished up his job.
"Keep it on the table." Weiss said as it was an option she wanted to save for later.
"Well let's get back to it then." Aron said as he looked to Weiss waiting to see her summon something on purpose this time as she had made incredible advancements with her summoning's as of late as well as herself taught Makai Alchemist training as well.
Weiss began to focus back on her Summoning as she focused everything she had on it. She knew Winter had her method and was using it but she was also picturing those who had pushed her beyond her limits as well as she focused. She then glanced to the armor painting on her wall as she was intent on mastering this so she and Aron can meet with the rest of RWBY and GARO at Mistral. They were lucky to have Willow's blessing to come and go as they please as once Weiss masters this skill she was making a bee-line for Mistral with Aron.
She then repeats the same twirl and stab she used for many of her Glyphs as the summoning glyph glows brightly and spins faster. The books shake in the bookcase on the wall. One particular tome, decorated with floral relief, falls off the shelf and opens on the floor. The window bursts outward as the room is consumed in a bright white light. The light abates to reveal Weiss covering her eyes with her arm as Aron was doing the same except he was grinning in return.
Soon the door into the garage slammed open as it was Klein in a panic who ran in. "Ms. Schnee Mr. Metal! Are you both alright?!" Klein asked in concern as he ran in but was then pushed to silence at what he was seeing now. Weiss smiles at him and turns to face the Giant Armor she successfully summoned as it seemed to have brought a friend in a horse as Aron saw it.
"Ginga." Aron said as that was Zero's Madou Horse and the fact Weiss managed to summon it as well must mean that during his armors transformation some of its power went to Weiss to balance each other out.
Weiss nods. "Yes." Weiss said as the Armor goes down to one knee and bows at Weiss as the Madou Horse walked over to Weiss and rubbed its head to her as Weiss petted the Madou Horse in response. Weiss then looks out the broken window. "Klein, I need a favor." Weiss said as she looked out said window. Klein in turn nods determinedly ready to help Aron and Weiss with whatever they may need of him.
(Back at Menagerie)
Inuken and Blake were chasing after the mysterious Faunus girl as they jumped between trees with ease. As they continued their path they soon cornered her as Inuken and Blake glared at her. "Who are you and what business do you have with us!" Inuken demanded as he glared at the Faunus girl in question.
She then clicked her tongue in annoyance before the tree leaves above her rustled and from it Sun came out. "Got you!" Sun called as he came down upon her as she quickly moved and messed up his landing.
"Don't let her out of your sight!" Inuken called as he and Blake continued the chase.
"Got it." Sun said getting his bearings before following after them to rejoin the chase for the Ninja Life White Fang Girl.
Their chase began to take them into town as they were soon jumping and running between rooftops as they chased after the Faunus Girl in question.
As Blake gave chase to the Faunus in question Inuken decided to circle around as he went a different direction to corner her off. Blake of course continued her path as she chased after the girl. The unknown Faunus then slipped under a set of pipes before she began to draw her rapier like weapon. When she did this she looked to Blake who saw her do this before proceeding to cut through the pipes and in turn releasing the steam inside them.
Blake of course was ready as she then slipped under and through the steam and glared at the Faunus girl as she glared back. "Why are you watching me?" Blake demanded as she glared at the Faunus.
The Faunus girl then lowered her weapon as then Sun jumped in catching her attention. Not long after Inuken came in as they had her cornered from three different location. "Give it up I don't hit girls but I will if I must." Inuken said as he glared at the Faunus girl in question.
"Yeah so don't do anything you kno-." Sun began only to avoid a whip attack from the girl as her rapier had a thunder like energy flowing through it when she did this.
Blake of course went in for the attack and kicked the scroll out of the Faunus person. "Got it!" Inuken called out as he took the scroll in hand as he smirked. The Faunus girl tried to get to Inuken only for Sun to charge in and hold her down as Inuken was working on the scroll.
"Yo Doggy sword! What are you doing?!" He called out as Inuken worked his magic.
"Give me a minute!" Inuken said as he was searching the scroll and downloading its contents onto his own scroll while deleting the original copy. "If this girl thinks it's so important let's see why!" Inuken called out as he worked as fast as he could.
"Get off!" The Spy called out as she, head-butt Sun knocking him off her. She then grabbed her weapon as her mask was broken up a bit from the head-butt as she then went for Inuken.
Blake seeing this acted as she ran torts Inuken as well as he saw this. "Hurry it up!" Sun called out as Blake saw this.
"I'll cover you!" Blake called to Inuken as he nodded and kept doing what he needed to do. As the girl went after Inuken Sun's light copies dog piled her and worked to keep her restrained as Sun kept his focus on this task.
"Almost done." Inuken said as he kept working on his part as the transfer was almost complete.
"Inuken the Monkey can't hold it much longer!" Doruba called out as they looked and saw Sun collapse as his Semblance shut down. The girl then had her weapon ready and pointed at Inuken and Blake as they saw this. But then all of a sudden her mask fell apart completely revealing the face under it as Inuken and Blake saw it.
But it was Blake who spoke up as she knew this Faunus of the White Fang very well. "Illia." Blake said as she saw that it was Illia who was spying on her.
"Wait, you know her?!" Sun asked as Inuken kept his focus on his task at hand. "But she doesn't even look like a Faunus!" Sun called out only for the Faunus Girl's skin to turn red as she then attacked Sun who then got hit as he cried out in pain.
"Sun!" Blake called out as she saw Sun was injured.
She then went for Inuken who then saw this and used his arm to block the attack that despite the pain it caused him he maneuvered his arm enough for the scroll to be untouched or so it appears. She then released Inuken as he held his arm and shoulder area for a moment before standing up straight.
"Give it to me." Illia said as Inuken held the scroll.
"No." Blake said as Illia then glared at her.
"You shouldn't have come back." Illia said as then Inuken took out the scroll in question.
"You're going to need this!" Inuken said as he then tossed the scroll to a surprised Illia. But before Blake could act Inuken drew his sword and cut the scroll into pieces as it fell down destroyed. "You need to let your provided know you need a new scroll." Inuken said as he showed his own scroll was damaged as well.
Illia then glared at the Makai Knight as her skin turned green and hair blue before she created a dust wind and made her escape. When she was gone Inuken removed the seal on his scroll showing it was still intact as he smirked a bit. "Sucker." Inuken said as he saw her escape.
"Sun!" Blake called out as she ran over to Sun and looked over his injury as she saw he was out cold. "Sun!" She cried again as Inuken looked him over. He then took out a dagger of sorts that seemed to combo as a flute and had what appeared to be Dust Crystal spots as he hovered it over Sun's form.
"He's alive and breathing but hurt." Inuken said as he then tore off some of his own duster and took out some herbs from his person.
"What are you doing?" Blake asked in shock as Inuken did his work.
"My job." Inuken said as he then mixed the herbs together to create a sort of combination in cream. He then applied it to the torn off part of his duster and began wrapping it around Sun's injuries.
"Is he going to be ok?" Blake asked as she saw Inuken apply the healing ointment.
"He will be but we need to get him back now." Inuken said as he then hissed in pain a bit but Blake saw.
"What about you?" Blake asked as Inuken hid his injury well.
"Focus on the critical then the minor." Inuken said as he finished applying the healing tonic to Sun ready to carry him back to Blake's place.
(With Ruby and co)
Ruby was on Eclipse as Ollette was with them as Jaune, Nora, and Ren had Qrow on the back of the truck as they all rode in their vehicles to get Qrow to safety. "Hold on Uncle Qrow." Ruby said as she rode as Eclipse saw the state Qrow was currently in.
Qrow was heard mumbling in his sleep as he was driving with JNPR. "Penny how far are we he's getting worse." Jaune said as Penny had performed the calculations as they were clearly deeper in Horror and Grimm turf.
"Not much farther keep at this paste and we'll be there soon." Penny said as she knew they had to hurry.
"I know but I feel like we're close to something." Ren said as he felt an odd sense of familiarity to this area.
Ruby then drove up next to Ollette who was driving her car on her own as she glared a bit. "Ollette how you holding up?" Ruby asked to the last member of Team GARO.
"Good enough." Ollette said as she was the Summer Maiden but she never desired to be the Summer Maiden.
"Ollette… I." Ruby began but Ollette sighed.
"Focus on the road and then we can talk once the danger has passed." Ollette said as Qrow was top priority right now and despite her healing magic the poison was spread far she needed to get Qrow to a safe location to properly treat his injuries.
Soon Ren saw something as he gestured for Jaune to stop as he did so. Once all three vehicles came to a halt Ren looked to it and stepped out of the truck as he walked over the sign at a fork in the road. He then ran straight for it as Ruby saw this as well. "What is it?" Ruby said as she looked to Ren as he went to investigate.
Nora then stepped out of the truck next as she saw the path and saw a sign that read Mistral on it. "Hey! Hey Mistral we're on the right path!" Nora called out as she saw they were on the right path to their destination. Nora then looked to the sign as she then saw another familiar name on it as she knew what it was. "Oh." Nora said as she realized what it said as Ruby heard this.
"Does it say how close?!" Ruby asked as Eclipse knew what this was.
"No and it seems the path takes us up through the mountain." Ren said as he saw this was clear as day.
"Even with our vehicles we wouldn't be able to make the climb." Ollette said as she knew what this meant.
Ruby then got off Eclipse and ran over to the sign as Jaune, and Ollette ran up to join them.
"What about this place Kuro-Kuroyuri!? Can we get help there?" Ruby asked as she was unaware of Kuroyuri.
"Kuroyuri was destroyed years ago." Ren said as Ollette then spoke up.
"But it takes us around the mountain and there is a Pit Stop of the Makai Order along the way." Ollette said as she knew this path better than most.
"But it would take to long." Ren said as he looked to the others as he did not want to take that path.
"Yeah but they will have herbs and medicine I can use to treat Qrow until we can get him to the pit stop." Ollette argued back as Ruby heard this as did Jaune.
"She's right it may take us longer but it's the best path we got!" Jaune called out as it increases Qrow's chances of survival.
"We're not going to find anything we just have to press on!" Ren called as he knew what was in Kuroyuri as Ollette saw this.
"This is more than just taking a different path... this is a date with the past." Ollette said as she looked to Ren as Nora saw they were both caught. "I won't pry but remember if we split up then we can't keep each other safe and there is a chance this may fail." Ollette said as she looked to Ren and Nora. "So if you two make it to Mistral first bring back help." Ollette said as Jaune and Ruby were about to object as they had vehicles that can get them there faster but with Qrow it may be hard.
Soon Qrow began to hack and cough as they all saw this as right now they did not have tie to argue over this. "Alright." Jaune said as Ruby saw it was now unanimous. "Just take care of each other." Jaune said as he and Ren then had a guy hug as Nora smiled as the two then separated.
"We always have." Nora said as now Ren and Nora had to go on foot.
A little later Ruby was back on Eclipse with Jaune jumping back into his Madou Truck and Penny as Ollette activated the ignition for her car ready to drive. The trio nodded to Nora and Ren who waved and nodded back before they separated as they then drove off.
Jaune was concerned as Penny saw this as she then spoke up from the consol. "They're going to be fine, Jaune." Penny said as Ruby would no doubt agree.
Jaune then spoke up as he didn't feel all that in agreement. "You don't know that." Jaune said as he looked to Penny as he saw Ruby was driving in the front with Eclipse as the here vehicles and their riders drove on. But as they drove they failed to notice a large set of hooves prints on the ground as unknown to them they were riding straight into a territory of a powerful Grimm.
(Meanwhile with Gold)
Gold drove down the same path as Ruby and her friends took as he focused on the road as he knew Ruby was in danger now. He had to hurry and catch up to her or else she may very well become Nexus little pet. As he drove though he grasped his shoulder a bit as he focused as despite his happy go lucky personality... he was scared and worried for his friends and loved ones. He's already lost one family in his life and despite his smiles... he didn't think he could lose another family even at this day and age.
Zaruba sensing the Turmoil inside his partner chose to remain quiet as he knew this was something Gold had to conquer on his own. The task of seeing he is a Golden Knight all his own now his elder brothers shadow but his own person. "Wait for me Ruby everyone I'll be there soon." Gold said as he kept driving refusing to stop for anything.
