The cat faunus was coming in hot from the launch pad. He was able to land on some trees and run across them. Okay find a partner, get relic, get back easy enough, right.

"Damn that hurt. I guess I had it coming but still he could of warned me. Man why are we even in here? Hmm someone's there." Ulric drew his bow and pointed at Telcam. "Who are you?" Telcam just looked at him. How did he know I was here? I better answer before he gets trigger happy.

"Telcam Mitick, and yours?"

"Ulric Ironwood, I guess we're partners then." Telcam nodded to Ulric and jumped down. "So can you tell me why we're in here?"

"Relics."

"Just as I thought you don't like humans either but at least you're not like the wolf. You actually are nice."

"Not all of us are like Braxton you know."

"Well it sure as hell seemed like it. You're the only faunus I meet that isn't at my throat yet. Well let's forget about that. Where are these relics we have to get?"

Telcam pointed over Ulric's shoulder. "That way."

"Man you really don't like talking, do you?" He shook his head at Ulric. "Well I guess we'll be on our way." They walked through the forest for a bit in silence until Ulric spoke up. "So what's your story Telcam? How did you end up here at beacon?"

"Nope"

"Nope, what do you mean by nope?"

"Nope"

"None of my business I'm guessing, right?"

"Yep"

"Well I guess I'll tell you mine just so you know who you are talking to. It goes like this. There once was a kid who's father was the General of the army that protects the very place we all live. He was very strong, always pushing his son to be the best and he wouldn't settle for anything less than the best. The son got sick of it but when he tried to rebel it was already too late. But the kid made sure that he wouldn't go to where his father wanted him to go to. So he decided to go to Beacon out of Spite of his father. For the most part that's how I got here." Telcam looked at Ulric trying to find out if any of his story was true. He came to the conclusion that he could trust him. "Hey you alright? Your head not going to pop on me is it?"

"Funny."

"I try. But really you all right?"

"Fine"

"Okay if you say so. Let's go get these relics then."

Telcam and Ulric continued on hearing fights in the distance. "I wonder if the wolf got in a fight?"

"Braxton"

"Sorry, forgot but you can't blame me he acts like a damn wolf. So that's why I call him wolf."

"He acts like that because how people treated him."

"Holy hell, a full sentence, I knew you could do it." Ulric had a teasing smile on his face.

"Think about it. If someone treated you like an animal don't you think you would become one?"

"Yeah I guess so but it would take allot to break me."

"You don't think it took a lot to break Braxton? If that's what you think then that's not right."

"What about you?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean you're nothing like him. In fact you're the absolute opposite of Braxton. How come you're like this what's your story?" The cat faunus looked at him. Trying to find what to say.

Should I trust him? Can I trust him? He told me his but can I tell him mine? It would help him to understand faunus. But it could come back at me.

"Hey I completely understand if you don't want to tell me Tel."

"Tel?"

"What don't like it?"

"I'll tell my story if you keep it to your chest like your life depended on it."

"I promise I will but what about the nickname?"

"I would like to be called my name but if it happens I could care less."

"Okay I'll remember that."

"Now you promise you won't say."

"I promise, you can trust me Telcam."

"Well, Qrow found me in the city when I tried to pickpocket him that's how I got here. All because of Qrow. You know of Qrow, don't you?"

"I know of him but do not know him. I see him every now and then."

"Well I owe Qrow a lot, it's because I'm here learning to become better. That's my story."

"So just like me you hold out. Your smart Telcam."

"Not really, just pick up on things easily."

"Well, even if your not I'm just happy I got the quite guy to talk." Ulric had that smile on his face again.

Ulric always seemed to be happy but seemed to be such an a-hole in the beginning.

"So how far out are these relics we got to get?"

"Don't know"

"Well then we should start running." Ulric started to run and Telcam was right behind him. They ran for some time till they hearded a howl right next to them. "What was that, Beowulf?"

"No, Braxton"

"We're not going that way. No way in hell am going to the thing what's wants me dead the most."

"He's a person you know. Even if he doesn't act like it."

"Sorry Tel, but I could care less."

"Fine" Telcam ran toward the howl he heard before. Why would he be in trouble? He's the only one out of all of us who shouldn't get hurt. Hmm there's a clearing up here.

"Fine"

"Good to hear you agree with me Braxton."

Telcam ran into the clearing where he found the wolf faunus and Zawaz.

"Hmm" Braxton drew Grimm the instant he saw Telcam. "Telcam Mitick"

What he knows my name but how. I've never met him before.

"You're lucky that I know who you are otherwise you'd be dead right now, you know that?"

"Yeah?"

"Telcam it's been too long. How have you been?"

Do I know her, wait it's the one who said her name was something Freff. That day when I meet Qrow this is that girl.

"Don't you remember me Telcam?"

"Yes I do and I have been fine thank you for asking. How are you?"

"Just fine unlike Braxton over there."

"Whatever"

"What happened?"

"He was an idiot used to much aura and passed out."

"Hey only choice I had so shut it."

"You could of ran, you know."

"Ha funny, me run from a fight would never happen."

"How do you know me Braxton?"

"Qrow speaks highly of you and plus I know your smell because of Qrow."

Qrow? Why did Qrow tell him of me and what does he mean by smell? "Qrow"

"Yes Qrow, he did mention that you don't like talking."

"Why did Qrow tell you of me."

"Because something was off with him and I picked it up in a instant."

"What do you mean by off."

"You know I hate stupid questions." Braxton was getting annoyed by Telcam looking around for info.

"Sorry"

Ulric followed Telcam until he saw the wolf.

Damn he was right it's the wolf.

Braxton begin to sniff the air. "Richy rich come on out I know you're here."

"No he went on."

"You're wrong Tel, I came to see if you were right and you were. So now I shot myself in the foot and I'm gonna have to deal with it."

"Shocking he can talk to a faunus without calling them trash."

"Braxton be nice."

"Hell no. This wanker is going to die by my hands. I can grantee that."

"Yeah but that sure as hell won't happen today."

"How much you willing to put on that?"

"Your life, cause that's what you're going to lose if you even try to fight me right now." Braxton stood up and ready Grimm and Fang.

"The only thing that will be lost on my side is some bullets."

"Save it for when we get back to Beacon guys." Zawaz was standing in between the two.

"No way in hell. I told him he was dead when we got in the forest and I'm gonna stick to that." Braxton held Fang to Ulric's face ready to pull the trigger.

"Well what are you waiting for? You gonna pull that trigger wolfie or do you not have the balls?" Ulric was looking the faunus in the face. Braxton feel to the ground clutching his shoulder in immense pain.

"Damn it! Why does it hurt so much!?" Ulric drew back his arrow and let it fly right into Braxton's shoulder. Blood shoot out from the wound.

"Got ya wolfie." Braxton broke of the arrow with the head still inside his shoulder blade. Ulric turned his bow into a staff. He placed the staff right under Braxton's chin.

"What you waiting for? Kill me." Braxton looked Ulric right in the eyes. without even flinching he grabbed the staff and drew Grimm. Braxton shot Grimm right at Ulric's chin. The bullet changed course and grazed Ulric across the cheek. Ulric went flying back. Landing on his back not moving.

"How are you not dead!? I shot at your bloody chin! You shouldn't even have a head right now!"

"Holy Crap! I'll check Ulric you get Braxton." Telcam ran to Ulric. Zawaz was already at Braxton's side.

"Brax you all right?"

"Of course I am, but that asshole should be dead!"

"Ulric, Ulric wake up." Dang he hit him that hard. But didn't it just graze him? "Braxton how hard did you hit him?"

"Well seeing how it was a shot to the bloody head pretty fucking hard wouldn't ya think."

Dang it Braxton. "Ulric wake up dude come on." Ulric's eyes begin to open.

"What the hell hit me?" Ulric was looking around trying to find what knocked him unconscious.

"Braxton" Telcam said as we was helping up Ulric.

"Of course it was him. But how? And why am I bleeding?"

"Cause my bloody shot missed your head by an inch." Zawaz helped up the wolf and began to talk.

"Guys instead of fighting let's find the relics and get out of here. Can we agree on that?"

"Damn always the voice of reason aren't ya Zawaz?" Braxton had a smirk on his face as he said those words.

"She is right we need to find the relics."

"Ya your right that's she's right but should we be together while we look for them?" Ulric was concerned that they were breaking a rule that had not been spoken of.

"Whatever, if you trust them Z I'm in." Braxton was shaking his head as if he we regretted saying what he did.

"What?" Zawaz was shocked by what the wolf said as if it was a foreign language that came from his mouth.

"You heard me and I'm pretty sure I didn't stutter."

"Okay so the one I thought I would have to convince is down so what do you guys say?"

Telcam had already decided and he nodded toward her.

"What about you Ulric?"

"Damn I guess I have no choice. So yeah I'm in."
