Hey guys Aero Frost mane here. This AN is not too important, just reminding every this is my first real fanfic that I plan on covering for a while. I haven't done a AN in the other chapters mostly because I kept forgetting _ sorry. I decided to release this early since I had given myself so much time and didn't need it. But so far 6 followers with only 2 (now 3) chapters! Hell yeah! Now that this is out of the way, enjoy the story!

Jet was keeping an observing eye around, when he noticed a pair of brown eyes that don't seem quite right. She was watching, and saw that Jet had noticed and walked over. Jet took up a defensive position in front of Yang and Ruby. "Please refrain from coming any closer. I don't recognize you." Jet said firmly. "I'm sorry. But those are my friends. I went to Signal with Yang." She said coldly. Pushing Jet aside, surprising him, and knelt down before laying Yang's head on her lap. "Shh its okay. You'll be okay. After what I saw, Aero will be the perfect replacement. " The new girl cooed. Yang started to protest and Jet cracked a smile. Yang noticed movement and looked that way and her protest died. Jet turned around to see who she was looking at and sighed. Aero was walking towards them without his shirt on, which is tied around his knife holster. Jet snuck a glace at Yang and almost burst out laughing at her blushing face.

"Like what you see?" Aero grinned, showing off a little bit, doing stupid poses that he pulled off rather well, before noticing Kaia. He looked stunned for a second, before noticing how she and Yang were positioned. He gestured towards them. "Mind if I take a turn?" His eyes gleamed with concern and a soft glow that made it impossible to not feel bad for him. Kaia nodded and moved so Aero could take her place.

"So what did Ozpin have to say about what happened?" Jet inquired. Aero sighed. "The old fool isn't going to expel him, for technicalites and the Winchester family power." Aero said, extremely annoyed. "But I was given the high honor of staying close to this little sun dragon as her bodyguard" Aero teased, his hand absentmindedly running through her hair. Yang obviously stiffened, but before Ruby or Kaia could warn him against it, she sighed and leaned back, giving him more access to her hair. "Your hands feel nice." She murmured and fell asleep like that. Ruby glanced at Aero and saw the softness in his eyes as he gazed at Yang. She nudged him and said "You know, I think I could stand you as a older brother." Teasing Aero with that comment, she rolled over and called out night to the rest.

He turned the comment over in his head, thinking about it. 'You know, I don't even know how old she is. she looks to be about 18 if I had to guess.' Musing, he pressed himself against the wall and told Jet. "I'll take first watch. I don't trust Cardin to not pull anything here." Jet nodded and told him "Wake me up in 6 hours. I'll do the next one." Aero shook his head and smiled. "Get some sleep. Remember I don't need any for a few more days." Jet sighed before conceding and get himself ready for sleep. "Sleep well Jet. something tells me this Initiation just gonna get more interesting."

All was quiet during the night. Everyone was asleep, Aero turned to where he knew Cardin was sleeping. He was also fast asleep, but was muttering about wanting to kill Aero, who held back a snicker at the grudge being held. He was still running his hands through Yang's hair, unable to help himself, they were so smooth and silky. as it coiled around her face, making her look almost like an angel. Yang began to stir, and her eyes opened up sleepily, staring into Aero's. "Morning Yang." Aero whispered, not wanting to wake the others. She looked confused, then she remembered all that happened and a shudder went through her body. Tears started to well up, and Aero wiped them away as gently as he could. "I swear on my grave that I won't let anything happen to you again." He said fiercely, his voice deepening, threatening to go into the thing that messed up Cardin. Yang just reached up and put her hands on his cheeks. "I know you'll protect me Aero." she whispered back. That seem to calm him down, as he stared at her. they were like this for a few minutes before they were interrupted by Kaia, giggling at the two of them. "Just kiss already." She teased. All she got was a air flick to the forehead by Aero, and Yang broke into quiet laughter at her bewildered expression.

Slowly the other students started to wake up. The rest was rudely awoken by Ms. Goodwitch calling all freshmen to go to the cliff of the Emerald Forest. Yang saw Cardin and instinctively grabbed Aero's hand. Who was surprised but didn't complain, but instead gave Cardin a cold glare, who instantly turned away and went the other way, walking into a wall. Some girls giggled and he turned red. He turned again and stomped to the lockers.

"If you wanted to hold my hand you can just ask." Aero teased Yang. "I'm a very comfortable person." Yang scoffed. "After what you did to him, yeah I'd say I'm very comfortable with you." She shot back, but didn't let go of his hand, but instead gave it a squeeze. Aero started to hum to himself happily. Yang looked at him. "Are you usually this happy?" She asked, curious. "Hmm? Oh was I humming? Sorry, didn't mean to bother you." Aero said, avoiding the question. She asked it again, shattering any hope that she'd drop it. Aero sighed. "Truth be told, I don't know. I've only been friends with Jet, and he's my brother. Now you and Ruby are friends outside the family. It's a lot to take in, and I'm glad I managed to make friends that I haven't heard anything about. It gets exhausting trying to hide what I am." Aero explained. "Wait what you are?" Yang asked. Aero stopped, and so did Yang. Aero shooed the rest on. "We'll catch up later."

Aero took Yang to a secluded corner where no one will overhear them. Aero took a deep breath. "So you've noticed how my voice changes when I get angry, right?" Aero said, his eyes closed. Yang said "Yeah like my eyes change colors." Aero smiled then it died off. "Truth is, I'm neither faunus or human. I'm something else. A monster."Aero's voice cracked. As Yang began to protest, he opened his eyes. They were pure black. iris, pupil, all of it. "I'm not something that should be out here, I was to be eradicated." His went back to their sky blue. "But I know differently. I've been able to control the thing in me for 15 years. It only shows when i get pissed." He wasn't looking at Yang anymore. "My real family was wiped out. I'm the last of my kind. My adopted parents know what I am and they still took me in, gave me a home. I'm still grateful for what they did, but I don't deserve such kindness." The pain in his eyes showed the burden he's had for so many years. Yang didn't know what to say as she watched someone that she had only recently became friends show his fear and pain. She went to say something but Ms. Goodwitch came around and ordered them to hurry.

They rushed off to the cliff where they just got there for Ozpin to explain that their partners would be decided by the first person they meet eyes with. "Hmm. I think Ruby, or Jet would be good to have." Aero mused to himself. Then Yang stuck to his mind, her face so peaceful and beautiful. Aero shook his head, trying to clear it. "I can't think about that. She only thinks of me as her friend. A bodyguard. That's fine." Aero said, trying to convince himself. He snapped out of it as the first person got launched, and Jaune was asking Ozpin what a landing strategy was. "Oh dude you are gonna get screwed." Aero thought to himself as Weiss was launched. Yang looked over at Aero and winked at him, causing Aero to blush slightly, she then laughed and put on aviators that went rather well with her outfit. "Good luck Ruby." Aero called, grinning slightly at her anxious expression.

He then got launched in the air, spreading his arms out to balance himself and using his semblance, simulating flight. He searched automatically for Yang, and saw her extending her flight by using her gauntlets. "Why didn't she beat the shit out of Cardin when he tried that shit?" The thought passed through before shaking his head. He knew why, because by that point she was technically tortured into submission. The only thing she said was "Not now" so Cardin probably pulled this shit before and raped her. The thought caused his eyes to darken, and the air rushed him to the speed that Yang was going, and the eyes went back to normal. "Hey! Long time no see!" Aero yelled over to Yang, who heard him and was so surprised she almost flew into a tree. She instead shot one of her gauntlet shotgun shells at the tree, breaking it and continuing it. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you." Aero called again, laughing. In the distance a scream was heard. Sounded like Cardin. "Hope it was." Aero thought before sighing. He really needed to figure out how to filter out those kinds of thoughts.

Both him and Yang finally landed, she landed in a somersault with a "Nailed it." and Aero simply skidded into the ground, leaving a rut. They met eyes and grinned at each other. Aero walked forward to Yang and bowed. "Hello Ms. Xiao Long. I am Aero Frostmane, the demon of Vale. It would greatly please me to be accepted as your partner during your time at Beacon." Her eyes gleamed with amusement at his antics, but decided to follow with it. "Yes Mr. Frostmane. It would be my pleasure to have you as my partner at Beacon." She held out her hand and Aero took before kissing the back. They finally looked at each other and started laughing together. "I've always wanted to do that." Aero said, once the laughter finally died down. Yang giggled again. "A true gentlemen it seems." She said slyly. Aero looked at something behind her, and quick as lightning threw one of his hunting knifes from its holster behind her, and she heard a strangled roar that died as Aero threw his other one at the Ursa's throat.

"Usually positive emotions scare them off." Aero muttered. As he quickly collected his knifes, Yang turned and was face to face with three more Ursai, one of them being bigger and looked meaner then the rest. Instantly she uppercutted the one in front of her and called out to Aero. He turned around, slapping his knifes together and formed a hunting rifle, and taking a couple potshots at the other Ursa, leaving the bigger Ursa for him to fight normally. He smiled, making his hunting knifes come back before putting their pommels together and forming a double bladed glaive, then taking a stance, waiting for the Ursa to come at him. "What did someone take your porridge?" Aero goaded it. It roared, seemingly reacting to the strange question and rushing forward. Aero simply took a couple steps before digging the gliave into the ground, using it to vault over the Ursa and onto its back. "Come on Yang, we got ourselves a ride." Aero shouted gleefully, using his rope that he took out of his backpack as a makeshift bridle. Making sure the Ursa was bound correctly, he held his hand out to Yang. She shook her head at him in wonder as he took his hand and he hoisted her up. Wrapping her arms around him and yelling a random "Yeehaw!" Got moving towards the relics that they were to retrieve.

Jet was thrown from the launch pad and redirected himself to get the maximum distance that he was able to before crashing down onto the ground, leaving a small crater in the ground. He easily got up and out of the hole, before looking back at it. "Need to find something less damaging to the enviroment." He mused, as he walked on to where he could feel the Auras going to. He hadn't been paying attention when Ozpin explained which way to go, since he could track Aero's Aura signature from miles away. Speaking of which, there was a Aura hiding in the trees in front of him. He looked up to see a person perched on the branch, looking down at him. See him look up at her, she drops down and looks up at him, since he towered over her. She extends her hand to him. "Blake Belladonna. I guess we'll be partners now, won't we?" Jet nodded and shook her hand. "Jet Snow. I look forward to it. Ms. Belladonna." He said formally, even slightly bowing his head to her. She let a small smile grace her face.

Yang wasn't sure what to say to Aero. He looked so happy, if not slightly maniacal, taking control of the Ursa Major. She watched as his icy hair flow with the movement of the Ursa Major. She really wanted to talk about what he meant by being a monster, along with arguing against it. She wasn't sure if it was because he was her friend, or because she had an interest in him. Who can't resist that hunk? I mean, everyone got a look at that muscle. She narrowed her eyes at the thought. Nobody is gonna take him from me. She shook her head at the thought. "He's just a friend." She thought, trying to convince herself. "He isn't interested in me at all. I'm just a close friend to him now." Aero shifted and she shot back to reality, realizing he had said something while she was spaced out. "I'm sorry, say that again?" She asked. Aero laughed. "I said, is something on your mind?" She bit her lower lip. "I didn't think you'd notice." She said, trying to not show in her voice why she was so spaced out. Monty forbid he knew she was thinking about him. She saw the back of his head nod. "Yeah. Your Aura shifted and I was worried you took what I said earlier too seriously." He said, sadly. "When you said you were a monster. I wasn't sure what you meant. You look human. You're fun, loving, and concerned about everyone. Even with Cardin, you healed him after you beat his ass. I can't see how you're a monster.' Yang said honestly. Aero sighed. "Someday. I hope I can live up to those words. But right now, my "Inner demons" are roaring at me to kill every Grimm we past. which has been about seventeen times already." He said, making a quotation marks around inner demons. "There's a strong one up ahead that we'll have to fight. It feels unlike a Death Stalker or a Nevermore. Stronger then them. Maybe A class. Hell it could be an S class, and I'm bent on killing it." He said confidently. Yang was shocked to hear him talk about killing a potential S class grimm. "Why would you want to fight that?! It's too dangerous!." She shouted behind him. He made the Major stop and turned to look at her. "Because I'm going to prove that I can stand my ground. That I can control my demon, and to do so, I have to have a good fight." He flashed a toothy grin at her. "I wouldn't want my precious partner to be hurt, but I'll give you a choice. Will you fight with me, or leave me to find the relics? I'll respect your choice no matter what." he waited.

With a loud roar Jet grabbed the King Taijitsu by its throat and threw it over his head into the other group of the serpents. "Blake! Are you okay?!" He shouted, turning towards his partner. She was on the ground, having barely deflected the attack that Jet saved her from. "I'm fine!" She shouted back, quickly using her semblance to flash away from the other Taijitsu that tried to attack her, leaving a clone of fire that the serpent closed its jaw over. It exploded in its mouth, causing it to let lose a screech of pain. Unfortunately Blake didn't see the other one behind her and it grabbed hold of her leg before throwing her at Jet, who caught her. "Blake?" He asked her, then saw the wound it left through her Aura. "Why didn't you tell me your Aura was low?!" He hastily ripped off part of his shirt and used it to wrap up the wound that was now seeping through the cloth. Seeing this, he felt his anger build, his eyes became a darker green with what looked like lightning striking through them, and his Aura started to fade from purple to blood red. His anger could be felt visibly pushing away from him at the pain that Blake was going through and with a scream an explosion happened, expelling all the Grimm, trees, and the ground around them and turning it all into ashen dust in a 8 mile radius. Jet was exhausted as he watched the Aura fade away from his body and watched as Blake opened her eyes. He looked down and gently took off the cloth, and seeing no wound there anymore he smiled and hugged Blake. Startled, she let out a mew. Jet ignored it, not even caring about it and just said "Thank you Monty." over and over again.

Aero heard the explosion, and smiled at the message it was sending throughout the forest. 'Good job, Jet" He said softly, Yang not hearing him over the sound of the scream that resonated with the explosion. "What was that!" Yang exclaimed, turning to see what it was. "Don't worry about it, partner." Aero said, smiling. "Now do you want to fight with me, or run away from me?" He said, with a dangerous glimmer in his eyes. "I'll tell you right now, if you choose to fight with me you'll see what I'm talking about being a monster for." He offered her. "And if I refuse? would I see it at a different time?" She asked. He responded instantly "Not until we go against tougher enemies. That includes criminals." Dead serious, his eyes unwavering as they stared into hers. "If we're lucky I'll never have to use it again." She thought about it, then nodded. "I'll fight with you." His smile promised danger. "I thought so." He turned and directed at the Ursa, "Let's get going." The Ursa growled and trudged forward. "Why did it listen to you?" Yang asked, curious. Aero grinned. "Because it knows better." Was all he said.

Jet and Blake, after Jet was done thanking Monty to infinite, kept on going. The chatted a tiny bit, more focused on looking for more Grimm, that they didn't notice that Blake's bow was slightly undone and showed her cat ear. Unfortunately, they came across Cardin and his partner, The Guy With The Mohawk, as Jet calls him. He corrected him that it was Russel but was ignored. Which took them to their current problem, Cardin is now out for blood against Blake, with his usual sadistic and rather disgusting way of describing how he planned on raping her before killing her and making it look like an accident. Jet was furious but his semblance couldn't activate for another 3 minutes due to his inability of controlling how much Aura is used in his semblance. He was Aura deprived until he can regenerate it. It was a lock down mechanism so he still had just barely enough to still be alive. Blake tried to hurry the process along by infusing some of hers with his, but so far no effect. He still had minor scratches from other fights after the explosion, but nothing he couldn't handle. As Cardin threatened Blake, he swung his baseball bat in a practice swing before stepping in front of Blake, cutting off vision. "You try anything, you'll have to go through me." Jet said, his voice as cold as ice to the point where Cardin could feel the temperature drop in the area and saw blackish ice forming around the ground. Being the egotistical idiot he is, Cardin brushed it off as nothing. Cardin rushed at Jet, swinging his mace laughing manically as it flew at him. Jet leaned back and it swung past him harmlessly. He lifted his bat horizontally as Russel swung his daggers in an overhead attack and was deflected. Cardin followed his mace as it missed and used the momentum to swing again, but all the air was forced out of his lungs as the bat swung and made a crack as it struck his chest. There were several crunches as it pushed into him farther and farther until it threw him into a nearby tree, breaking it entirely. Cardin weakly looked down, and seeing several pieces of bone poking out of his skin again, he was reminded this was Aero's brother. But now driven by anger and madness, he jumped back up and with a cry rushed Jet again. Jet sighed, and threw his foot out, knocking the breath out of Cardin again, but having him lean over from the blow, swung directly at his head and another resounding crack was heard. Cardin fell to the ground, out cold. Jet twisted around, his bat shifting, becoming a bit longer and the tip popping off to show a barrel, becoming a mossberg shotgun, which he pointed straight at Russel, who was trying to get to Blake but froze. "You wish to die then, you pathetic excuse of a human?" His voice dripped with venom. He took a few steps towards Blake, standing over her, and cocked the gun. Russel didn't move or speak. His whole body trembled with fear at this man. "Do you have any last words?" Jet asked, his voice still dripping, hungering to kill. Blake let out a gasp of pain and turning, saw that Cardin had gotten back up and had thrown his mace at Blake, who was now bleeding from her head. The anger from before was now tenfold and he unleashed his wrath upon them in a blast of anger once again.

"Another explosion." Aero thought as he heard it. "Man I'd hate to be the dumb fucker who pissed him off." He mused out loud. "Who do you think is doing that, Aero?" Yang asked, holding on tightly to his back. "Jet. His semblance is basically a nuke. You piss him off enough by hurting someone he cares about, or otherwise insult someone he cares about too much, he explodes. the most his explosion has gotten to was 8 miles all around. Then his Aura shuts off for an hour unless someone knows how to infuse their Aura and is willing to do so." Aero explained. He then stopped the Ursa. As he did so, someone flew over them still screaming. There was just barely enough time to see it was Cardin's terrified face, as he flew over the cliff and into the water below, making a huge splash. "Here we go, it's at that cave." Ignoring Cardin, Aero pointed at a huge cave that was 50 feet tall and 30 feet wide. "The S class must of made it. There's no way that could've already been there." Aero wondered out loud. Yang nodded her head in agreement. They got of the Ursa, and Aero told it "go hide in the woods. When you hear this." He made a sharp whistling noise that echoed through the forest. "You come back here, okay?" The Ursa looked like it nodded and trudged off. "Taming grimms is a specialty of yours?" Yang asked, still curious. "I guess so." Aero replied, smiling slightly. Then his face became serious. "I hope you like a good fight, cause this is gonna suck." Yang laughed. Aero committed it to memory almost unconsciously. He skirted the edge, looking for markings to see what kind of monster they were going to fight. He could feel its presence, but that didn't tell him what it was. He found deep gouges and bite marks. too many to be one thing. "Fuck yeah its a Hydra!" He whispered excitedly. His demons stirred in anticipation, knowing that they'll be released soon. He turned to Yang, and she looked so scared. He quickly walked over to her, and pulled her into a hug. "Hey don't be scared. If you don't want to help you don't have to." He murmured into her hair, petting her. The petting seemed to calm her down, although she stiffened at first contact. "I won't ever hurt you Yang, okay? I promise" He said earnestly. Yang sighed and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back. She could feel Aero was practically melting under hands, either willingly or not, she wouldn't know because he tensed and pulled her away from where they were, ending up 15 yards away from where they were as something crashed where they were not even a second ago. He let go of her and faced the thing, roaring at it. But something had changed. His voice not only deepened, it became jagged. She watched from behind him as his body began to change. His jacket seemingly melted into him, leaving his upper body bear. She had seen his skin before, a pale white that was extremely buff for a Hunter, but now it looked like stone, and the scars from before were more prominent as well as numerous other scars that she hadn't noticed before on just his back. She sow his hair turn into a dark red that looked more like dried blood along with a set of horns starting to protrude from his head and a pair of pure black wings were extending from his back. They definitely weren't there before, Yang go the feeling that they sprung from his back. None of this was natural, as she saw that his knifes were gone, and instead blades that shone with a blood red gleam that was also protruding from his forearms. She saw him glance back at her, and the part that shocked her the most were his eyes. They were all black. Pupil, iris and all, just like before. Except now there was a blood red iris directly in the middle. "Try to keep up." He said, through sharp fangs that looked more like jagged teeth then anything. Without another word he leaped at the head that was still there. The transformation took less then 3 seconds, Yang shook her head and focused on what was in front of her. Which was Aero grabbing the neck and yanking the it so the rest of the body came out. Sure enough the body broke through the upper part of the cave and went flying into the trees. The Hydra hissed at him and spat acid, which he quickly dodged. Yang came in and batted the head away with a hard left to the side of its face. Its head wrapped around a tree and the neck got caught, anchoring it there. Aero rolled to a landing, and slicing at the hydra, causing a air wave slicing through a head, with it smashing into the ground, he jumped up as another head lunged for him, and landed on its neck, stabbing one of his blades into its neck, making a fountain of black blood spurt forward, coating him with it. the head retracted in pain and he jumped towards the body. Another head swung and smashed into him, throwing him to the right and he rolled back to his feet. "Their body is their weakness!" Aero yelled. "We have to get to its heart! in the middle!" Yang dodged a pool of acid. "They have a heart!" Yang called back. Aero didn't respond as he stood still and closed his eyes. His Aura was growing and becoming corporal. He raised his hands and the presence of Aura raised up. The Hydra took notice and tried to attack him, but Yang also saw and stood in front of him and batted all the heads away, getting bites and blood started to drip from her wounds, but she kept fighting. One of the heads finally tried to spit acid at her and she shot a shell at it and it exploded, a little bit got on her leg and she fell screaming. Aero heard the scream and he felt the guilt hit him like a towtruck, causing the Aura to explode even more and suddenly a giant blade of air came down and smashed on the Hydra, who screamed and withered in pain, the blade slowly cutting through. Aero grunted, realizing unless he had help, it would go away soon. He saw Yang in the corner of his eye and pointed his pinky finger towards her, figuring if he would die, he'd give Yang a change to get away. A cherry red aura clasped around the acid wound and began to heal and close her wound. She managed to stumble to her feet and looked at the Hydra. She realized what was going on and ran to Aero. "No... Get out of here." He said weakly. His legs buckled and he was on his knees. "I'm not going to be able to finish it." He mumbled. Yang looked at him, and slapped him. He almost broke concentration. She then knelt by him and put her hands on his chest. "I can transfer my Aura to you." she told him. He shook his head. "No the demon will take you over." He said helplessly. "Then did you try to mix your Aura with its.?" She asked. Aero almost slapped himself for being so stupid. He concentrated before getting back onto his feet and with a roar he flew up into the air, powered by the mix of black and red Aura, now swirling and the blade sliced through the rest of the Hydra's body. It's cries were silenced as smaller blade sliced the rest of the necks, with consecutive thuds as the heads fell. Aero fell onto the ground, where Yang caught him. He looked normal again, with his leather jacket back on, but no tank top. so his pale chest stood out again, and a new scar that was a x just under his ribcage. Yang ignored it for now, and brushed his hair away. She lifted him up, seeing as he weakly tried to stop her, he couldn't do anything. "You'll get to tell me moer about you later partner. Right now, let me protect you." She said kindly, smiling at him. He gazed at her in wonder. "Even as just a friend, she's amazing." Was Aero's last thought before he passed out, and he distantly heard a mimic of the whistle that he did for the Ursa Major.
