Chapter 13: Why Can't I Have a Break

"I'm gonna be LATE!" was heard through the dorms and maybe the campus. A boy dressed in black and a tint of red. Tailcoat flying behind him, cool winter breeze grazing his pale composure. He heard the last bell go off and it was over, Oobleck's class was deadly in itself but being late is basically waking an Ursa Major in hibernation while being chased by an armada of death stalker and nevermore.

"Ah, another tardy Mr. Rose…" A professor clearly irritated, also looking used to it. "May you take your seat Mr. Rose?"

"Ah, Huh… Huh…" Crimson sighed in defeat taking his seat next to Neo, "I knew I should have turned his seat next to Neo," I knew I should have turned my scroll off, so Neo you liking it hear in Beacon?"

"Yesh…" she nodded going back to her note writing. Neo was never taught how to speak but, was able to understand what people were saying. Though she sounds like an 8 year old.

"Ignoring me alr…" Crimson was cut off by Oobleck.

"Mr. Rose can you tell me what happened when The Faunas Rights of Freedom protestors attacked the city hall at midnight and won. What was their advantages in that event?" Oobleck finished his questions to Crimson and The class stared at the boy leaning back from his chair and opened one eye.

"Okay I actually know the answer to that question Professor." The boy exclaimed making sure the whole class could hear him. "The Lazy people, the ones who hide behind fake power and political ranking lost because they do nothing. They feed the media the people lies through their networks. They lost sight of their personality when they found out how much power they really had. They died because they had no will no soul for those who wanted freedom. For Remnants sake none of the political idiot up there even know how to activate Aura or even use a gun. The Faunas had a greater resolve a more better will. They wanted change not, just change for their own but, for us humans people that mistreated and hurt them."

"Us who separated them from their families are the ones who really need to change. They set up a wall that could not be touched by mindless Grimm. The thing they were so arrogant about was that they thought that because Faunas looked like animals they were categorized as Grimm. The ways they thought were the ways an insane in-humane person would think and act like. They wanted war they were bloodthirsty and were ready to put an act to kill every Faunas on sight. They thought that and they were wrong the Faunas had strategy a high ranking tactician would have and they thought it out they were willed and wanted change for the better. Their pettiness was broken when their lines of defense were going down as fast as they could count to five. Their walls were broken by the Faunas and the strategies the Faunas used and the will they had over powered the weak minded individuals we call our political leaders today.

"The politicians really thought the Grimm and Faunas were the same but, to me I'm starting to think us humans are the Grimm in Humans clothing. In my opinion the politicians were stupid to clump them together. And you know what Professor, do you know what happens to humans when they gain power, they gain greed and the ones that follow. Us humans think because we have power we are invincible and that is why they Lost. They thought because they had power they were gods in a sandbox, but they were wrong and lost their lives and their humanity…" The boy finished his speech/answer leaving the class and even Oobleck was left speechless.

"W-well that was not the answer I was looking for but, your point is not invalid." Oobleck announcing while clearing his throat." Well class go to page 117 on Remnants Wars and Geography."

The students snapping out of the daze Crimson gave them quickly flipped their pages while Crimson put his feet up and put on his GrimmCandy Earphones. In the time of Oobleck was talking about his ramblings of how knowing your environment is the key of winning wars. While classes were going on he listened to Stranger Than Fiction – Bad Religion. Soon after the bell rang and Yang tugged on his collar before he walked out the door, "Nice Job bro, dissing of those politicains like you knew what happened there was nice!"

"Yah Crimson thank you lots of good people I knew died in that confrontation. I mean people I knew before I left the White Fang." Blake agreeing with Yang's statement.

"I think it was un-called for." Another voice belonging to the Heiress while a clearly sleepy Ruby clinging to her arm.

"Who ever said I wasn't there when it happened. You guys need to remember I'm already a full-fledged hunter I just need a permit from this school. There was a Cat faunas, I think here name was Ceriela? She saved me from a pillar from falling on me and you know what happened. She was killed by a huntsman who was ordered by one of those Pigs we call our leaders. The man who killed her wanted to kill her. The huntsmen smiled at me and the politician laughed and I may have accidentally un-a -lived them." A grin forming in Crimson's lips.

"Um, Bro you sure you don't need reforming not, Neo?" Ruby said while dropping of Weiss arm, "I think we should all go shopping together!"

"Sorry Rubes, me and Blake are going to watch a Kick Boxing Match with Team JNPR." Yang quickly shooting down Ruby's hopes and dreams.

"I gotta go teach Neo how to English better." Said Crimson dragging Neo out into the hall.

"Wha… NYA! I know how chu shpek cleary shoe lemme goo!" said Neo's voice suddenly getting weaker.

"Well I guess I'm going alo…" Ruby was cut off by Weiss.

"Who ever said I wasn't going you dolt!" Weiss gently bonking Ruby's head lightly while walking outside the door.

"So Neo… May I ask how our lesson became a trip to Vale's North Mall Outlet?!" Crimson had a irritated and his boiling Aura.

Neo grinned pointing at a Dry Ice-Cream stand. Fog toppling over the Ice Cream Stand. As, the two got closer, a familiar voice was heard, "Finally Diddle Doo and Diddle Daa hooked up!"

"Fidelis? Is that you?" Crimson trying to make out the voice.

"No hablar ingles…" The man responded.

"Stop messing with me or I will cut your stand in half." The angered red head gritted his teeth try to intimidate him.

"Alright it's me chill a man need to make a living out here you know!" Fidelis yelling back at the boy.

"Finally can I get a Strawberry Parfait and a Neapolitan Delight?" The boy asking Fidelis while Neo drooled at the Ice Cream.

Fidelis gave him the Ice Cream, "Free of Charge and also I need to tell you something." Fidelis came closer to Crimson's ears, "hey, I want you to meet me in the Vale Square Park 3 weeks from now there are people you might know I'm trying to hunt down…" he whispered.

"Alright, see yah later!" Crimson yelled at him.

Neo wanted to go shopping for new clothes cause she thinks having one pair might not be a good thing. Crimson knew this so he agreed and will pay for the expenses for her. He wanted to bring her closer to society. They found a store called Philosopher Pharos Punk Lyfe Style and walked in, "Neo I didn't know you were a Gothic Lolita type." Crimson jested trying to find out if she really knew Neo.

"Oh, Weiss you look great!" A familiar voice coming from the skirt section.

Crimson and Neo stumbled upon Ruby and Punk Rock Weiss. The pair looked at each other's partner and Weiss spoke out, "You dunce now I want to drown in my sorrows!"

"It's okay Weiss you look cute I'll buy it." Ruby said

"What's the point I'm ri…" Weiss' tone suddenly softened.

"That settles it I'm going to buy it for you!" Ruby said while running off to the cashier.

Crimson and Neo were left laughing in the woman's section, "Let us start by getting you a black and white corset and a small little skirt." The boy said as Neo nodded.

They found the corsets and skirt section and Crimson blurted out, "So are you a girls small or toddler small?"

"I'm actually a teens' medium!" Neo elbowing Crimson's stomach and puffing her cheeks.

Once they were done shopping for Neo's new clothes Crimson was hungry getting punched every 10 seconds for making a remark about her height. When he was about to ask his small friend or even closer something but, she responded by, "You go find shomting, I'm goin to look around."

He nodded and went off to look for a good place to eat and which the food district was a few kilometers away but, he did have his speed. The thing is how will she get here?

Neo's POV

'Okay have to find him a gift.' Neo thought while looking for a yarn shop. 'It's been hard not stealing money but, now I finally saved enough money to by yarn and make him a new ribbon for his outfit.'

She found one really far east in the mall. She walked in and an old woman greeted her with a smile and asked, "Would you like anything today young lady?"

"U-um, I would like really good fabric to make some one very special to me an arm ribbon. For their Birthda-t-y." Neo responded trying to put Crimson's lessons to good use.

"Oh. You're making it yourself?" The old woman asked.

"Ye-ees M-a-oo-am!" She tried saying a sentence but, instead vomiting words out of her mouth.

"That person is really special… I have a special fabric for you miss. This holds a special type of dust that was created by a wizard in a forest couple centuries ago. It is said, 'In time of need the fabric will engulf the wearer and protect him from harm's way.' The only thing is because it is rare fabric it is very expensive and can only be dismantled and put back to anything you want, so the price is 459,000 lien…"

"Wha-a-a… What!" Neo was shocked because she thought fabric was cheap so she only saved 100,000 lien.

"I'm really sorry miss but, this fabric is very hard to come by and only a few weavers have this fabric." The old woman truly sincere.

"Okay, I have a necklace my mother gave me a long time'a go and I've kept it with me because it is the only thing I have left of her and my memories of my mother will stay with me so, I have to li-i-ve in the present right? Right?" Neo tears clearly visible in her eyes and giving the woman a necklace with 3 dark jewels that look very rare and a band saying, "Too my beloved Daughter, Remember to keep moving forward…"

The woman accepted it but, was also very heart broken for the young lady in front of her doing something for someone she cares about. She gave her the fabric and also, taught her how to make the arm band. It glimmered in the sunlight and the woman gave her a white and red present box free of charge.

Neo and the old lady said their good byes and the lady said something under her breathe, "I hope she gets enough money to buy her heirloom back…"

Neo texted Crimson and he told her he was at the West Mall Food District.

Crimson's POV

Neo and Crimson met up at the "Vagabond's Stop by Burger" and talked about where Neo was but, of course she lied at where she really went.

After they ate Neo wanted some chocolate but, Crimson despised that dark sugary bricks. Neo ate all the chocolates and started acting weird, she started hiccing and walking in a zig zag pattern. I looked at the nutrients label on the Chocolate box and saw that it had 3% Alcohol.

Neo was drunk.

That was when Neo slouched on Crimson's back and Crimson decided the quickest way to get back to Beacon was carrying her. He did and while picking her up a box that looked wrapped fell out of her purse and Crimson was curious but he wasn't snoopy. He put it back into her purse and had conversations with Neo but she let something out that she should never have.

"Did yah know that I had a necklace my mom gave me a long time ago…?"

"Where is it now?" The tired boy replied.

"Oh… I sold it becush I wanted to buy you a present show, I found a yarn shop ober there" Neo said pointing behind them.

Crimson's heart sank at what he was hearing and he wanted to cry. He could not believe she did that. In the school halls Crimson swiped the card and he opened their door placing Neo on his bed.

'I can't believe she did that.'

'Where are Marsh and Neaf?'

"I told them that they would have freedom but, a guy gets lonely to-OOO!" Crimson screeched as he felt a warm moist thing rub his ears.

He pinned himself to the corner of his bed and saw Neo climbing up on top of him, "Did you know I love you so much. It's so hard to hide my feelings when people are around I want everyone to know!" "Let's announce soon ok*hic*ay?"

Crimson was silent because Neo's clothes were slowly and surely disappearing every moment he blinks. Neo was in her under garments now and Crimson was sure his man hood could not hold it in anymore. He grabbed Neo and leaned on her kissing her passionately and grabbing the back of her head.

"No! I'm sorry Neo but, I don't like this I feel like I'm using you so we can do this when you're not drunk…" Crimson was to flustered and ran out the door, locking it from the outside and can only be unlocked when someone from the inside swiped their card.

Neo started to wake up and feel a bit more conscious remembering what he did to Crimson her face turning into an instant blush. She didn't remember anything after she ate the chocolates though.

She remembered about what she did to get Crimson that present though. She texted RWBY and JNPR's Kik group chat and told them that Crimson's Birthday was tomorrow on January 17th. After that everyone responded saying that they were already at the mall and are going to buy him a present as soon as I can.

After a few hours of watching Anime she went outside and encountered Ruby and the others. They went to go to the courtyard but, as soon as they got there they saw Crimson and Ozpin talking while he had 3 people in an airship ready to take off. Crimson had a surprised look on his face when he was talking to Ozpin and he hoped in the airship while it flew away.

The group walked over to Ozpin and before anyone could ask anything he said, "Meet me in my office I will explain what Crimson does and who he is. I think you guys deserve to learn the truth about him."

Everyone walked into the elevator and Glynda was sitting next to Ozpin's desk and she looked like she knew what was happening with Crimson.

"Okay everyone take a seat I will now tale a Tale of a Boy." Ozpin said in a clear and serious voice.

"Is the tale about Crimson!?" Nora hopped up from behind Ren.

"Yes."

"Everyone has a duty to uphold but, Crimson is no exception. From a very beginning the world was out to get him. He was born in the same hospital as Ruby and they were twins. Summer wanted to keep him in hiding so she sent Crimson of to Beacon. We took care of him when your mother Summer Rose was in missions or was with Yang and Ruby. She put a bit more priority for Crimson because she was doing something unfair. She wanted you guys to meet him but, she couldn't Crimson had something special about him and she wanted him to not fight till he was of age. Because Ruby and Yang wanted to be Huntresses it would of caused a click to happen in Crimson that would have caused danger to their lives. Crimson has a special skill only a single baby is born with every 1,000 years. It is called Blood Bond…" Ozpin was going to continue but, Ren, Pyhrra, Weiss butted in.

"Wait he has BLOOD BOND!" The three said in unison.

"That is something that a Legendary Hero of Remnant used to wipe a race of Grimm back into the depths of the earth." Ren said.

"It is said, 'A person that is born with that will uphold training carefully till he is of the age to fight.' If he fights sooner he will go berserk a condition of which the skill activates when the host is in danger or is physical pain." Weiss continued.

"It is also said, 'That those with the skill can use the elements of the Earth to fight and can bend time and space to the users will' how I have never seen him…" Phyrra said when she remembered the unofficial battle that Crimson had with the 3 people.

"Oh, So that is how he kicked those guys butts when we were cornered he froze them in place and just stood there while they couldn't attack or move." Ruby butting into the information dump the three were giving.

"Yes, but when he was of age Ruby, Yang you met him he visited you often. You guys dressed him up and he would run away from you." Ozpin informing the siblings.

"THAT WAS HIM!" Ruby and Yang said in Unison.

"Yes it was him, but the thing is Crimson went Berserk when he was attacked by Beowolves when he was in a mission zone when he was kidnapped by an organization called The Shadow of Veils. He was placed in a mission zone Summer was in. Debris hit her and she was handicapped and calmed Crimson down, while doing so she ran to a nearby farm house and left him in there while she ran away to find a place to recover. While he was there he saw you guys Ruby in a wagon and Yang pulling it. They were going to be attacked by a Beowolf but, their Uncle was called by Summer to make sure that Crimson was okay but, instead he so that the two of you were not. He got the Grimm down and left his scythe behind, while picking you and Ruby up and dropping them of at their house. But, because he is always drunk he forgot about his scythe but, remembered too late. He went back to the area and saw that a Beowolf swiped at Crimson's chest while he was trying to defend Qrow's weapon. After that he took him to the hospital and interrogated him. Qrow took him in and trained him 7 years ago and he lost some of his memory of the past that is why he couldn't remember Ruby or Yang. He trained here sometimes and became a Half-fledged Hunter but, now he need a permit to become a Full-fledged Hunter. He still goes on mission with Hunters and Huntresses on mission and keep watch on them because he needs credits if he wants to still be known as a Hunter. The mission he is going on is also… a very personal mission to him. You may ask him more about his past but, right now it is getting late, I suggest you all hope Crimson a safe return because his mission will not be a simple one." Ozpin finished off before letting the teens leave his office.

Crimson's POV

"Why today of all days does this have to happen. Silphed Viola is here." Crimson whispered into the night air.

"I'm sorry to ask this while you're in deep thought but, I thought our instructor today would be the famous Hunter, The Grim Reaper. Not some…" A male voice came from behind him when it got cut off.

"Child." A female voice this time sounding behind him.

"Okay to get this over with. Do not use my Underworld name here. I have someone to deal with, and if you guys are blabbing it about they will know it is me for sure. I'll make a challenge whoever lands a hit on me in 1 minute will lead the team I will sit in the side lines. You can use weapons." Crimson said in a nonchalant voice.

"Easy" The four said in unison.

Crimson showed them that he started the time. A female rushed over to him almost the same speed as Ruby but, not quite. She drew a Spanish Rapier and lunged at the still after image Crimson placed. She phased right through him and another opponent tried attacking him but, with very slow speed. The largely built man threw an overhead smash on Crimson but, he jumped into the night sky his eyes reflecting the moon. The ground that the muscle man slammed turned to ice and as Crimson landed he laughed hysterically because of how close he was corned. As soon as his laughing died down he heard foot steps behind him. He bowed his head dodging the side slash but, he saw an arrow come right at him and if he dodged this the person behind him would be injured or even die. He kicked the girl behind him and grabbed the arrow in to quick motions snapping it in half. The archer dropped down from his tree and lined up with his team. The most idiotic thing was done as soon as the 45 second mark was hit. They all ran in a straight line formation which was very simple to dodge and after countering the last attack he unfolded Blood Moon and pushed it behind him aligning all their necks to its blade. The 1 minute mark was up. Every one stood still trying not to be cut by his blade.

"Which one of you guys is Mr. Archer?" Crimson asked.

"I am." Crimson heard a boy sounding to be very high pitched for a male.

"Don't ever shoot when a team mate is in the line of fire!" Crimson yelled startling the group.

"If it gets the job do…" The boy was interrupted by Crimson.

"Bull fucking shit. I could have dodged that easily but, If I did little miss assassin would have been killed or injured. You need everyone to win fight if you are the lone soldier you will lose. I learned that the hard way trust me kid." Crimson said and jokingly said the last bit knowing all of them were older than him.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry Illia I'll try to wait till you evade before I shoot." The boy said.

"Mhm." was heard by Crimson and folded Blood Moon.

"Okay I'll give my introductions now. I'm Crimson Rose also known as The Grim Reaper, Red Death, Hood and Blood. Whatever but, do not call me Grim Reaper on this mission there is a woman here that has caused trouble for a few years now and it's time it ends." Crimson said back to his normal not interested attitude.

"I'm Illia Stone and I use two daggers with dust infused blades, I also lead this team." Illia said in a confident tone.

"I'm Robin Silver I use a bow with a mechanical zoom and revolving dust chambers." Robin saying a little shy because of the incident.

"I AM IREL SOVERN!" Irel yelled Crimson already know that he is just all muscle no brain from the start.

"Shery Shackles, I use a rapier with air dust infused into the hilt so I can go in unnatural human speeds. I am also the 3rd Cousin to Weiss Schnee Heiress of the Schnee Du…" The girl saying in a princess tone just like Weiss.

"Yah! Yah! I already have to deal with one Weiss I don't want to deal with another one." Crimson said plugging his ears with his fingers.

"We also form Team Iris." Illia explaining to him.

"Let's get going we wasted an hour out here lets go." Crimson ordered them to move to the top of the hill where the ware house was visible. "Here's the plan Irel cause a commotion in the area over there where it says 'Block D'. Shery you go with Irel make sure he doesn't get hit behind him." Crimson said and the two nodding back at him.

"Okay, Illia you're going to set the explosive charges but, eliminate your presence. I think you guys learned how to do that you guys are in your 4th year at Heaven right?" Crimson asked.

"Yes, I also have a semblance that can turn me invisible but, only for 10 minutes." Illia responded.

"Okay good, Robin you're going to a high point on that radio tower and put this jamming signal on the antenna after you are done defend Illia." Crimson explained to Robin and giving him a small square.

"I'll give you guys the signal to come back there will be a bullhead waiting for you guys on top of the roof top."

Every scattered while Crimson watched from the hill. He saw the giant explosion made not even 10 minutes into the plan and saw large crats flying through the air. Soon after he heard Robin giving the signal that he placed the frequency jammer. 12 minutes later Illia gave the go for the explosives he called everybody saying their ride is there. Soon after the helicopter landed next to Crimson.

"Let's go!" Illia screamed because of the gun fires being heard.

"You guys go on ahead. Remember I told you that I have a very important mission of my own. When you land in Beacon tell Ozpin that I might need help." Crimson telling Illia as she nodded and the pilot so the all go and lifted off.

Crimson hopped of the Cliff landing on a tree and mid motion breaking a branch and pushing himself into the base. The speed of which he traveled broke a sound bearer and crashed into a wall landing feet first creating a crater on the wall taking out dozens of White Fang?

"Why is the White Fang here?" Crimson whispered.

"Glad you could join us old friend it's been a long tiiiime!" A pip voice was heard with a blood thirsty tone to it.

"Do you want another Rose on your back or do you want a Rose on your back." The pip voice continued.

"Glad we could meet again! Whore!" Crimson yelling at the woman.

Four shadows appeared behind her and it was Emerald, Cinder, Mercury, and A man with the same Grim mask Crimson took from the White Fang Base while discovering Crimson's secrets.

"No fair bringing friends to a one versus one. I thought you were better than that Viola." Crimson saying in a whiney tone.

"Oh, but these people also suffered losses because of your doing. I think they deserve to help me beat you." Silphed Continued on.

"I'll go for an eye first…" She bantered on.

SLASH

A cut appeared in Crimson's eye. Bleeding and half his vision gone he was in a complete disadvantage, "I'll go for an ear…" Cinder saying with a large smile on her face.

BOOM

A loud explosion was heard in Crimson's right ear. Not only was he half sighted now but, he is also half deaf too. "I'll go for a Leg…" The grey haired teen said.

CRACK

Crimson suddenly felt a tremendous amount of pain on his Left Leg. "I'll go for an Arm" The tanned female smiling the same as Cinder.

SLICE

Crimson's Right arm seemed to stop functioning. "…" Silence was heard and only the wind made a noise.

CRACK

He saw a black blur and had a huge amount of pain in his abdomen region. Crimson now coughing up blood stood looking at the group before. Vanishing…

Neo's POV

Neo looked at Crimson's Aura meter and saw that it was below the danger level. Neaf and Marsh were with her and the whole group from Ruby group to Juane's and everyone was looking at Neo's scroll seeing the danger level of Crimson's Aura. A second later Crimson's Aura level disappeared and now showing his real life force health. It was half and everyone was getting really silent. They saw that the meter went grey and I stayed there.

A/N: Holy Shiaza that took too long to put out. This was supposed to come out yesterday in memorial to Project Monty or what I officially called "Monty Day" but, I got too lazy to finish because I had a busy Band Schedule and My Girlfriend broke her leg in a Track Meet AND THE FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL EXIT EXMAS *sighs intently*.
