AN: Well now that I am back to focus in my first fic there are somethings I want to say, first of all, back in Volume one it was believed that velvet was a first year student, obviously that was thought because she was giving a class with first years, my mistake, so after I post this chapter I will re-write all the parts were that was insinuated, maybe.
Another thing I did not had in mind was Blake`s fear to dogs, something that I would have to think in how to fix later thank you for your time.
Well the only thing left to say merry Christmas.

Chapter 7
Time: One week after the incidents of the docks.
Location: Maverick Hunter HQ
The sound of music and people celebrating could be heard in the dinning hall of the HQ since it was a time of celebration, which was what everyone was doing, including Drake… in his own way.
"Why are you all alone here?"
Drake, who was leaning against a wall alone looked to see a woman with blonde hair on a ponytail and a pink version of the regular hunters uniform.
"I feel comfortable here." Replied the celestial while the woman just sighed.
"I have only known you for a few days and I already feel and treating with an older version of my son."
"Really which one?"
Drake only received a deadpanned look and the twitch of an eye and then focused on the two persons the event was being dedicated to, "You should really feel proud." Replied Drake as he saw from the distance two boys that just turned 15, one talking with everyone he got around while the second one stood quite ignoring everyone while eating cake
"Believe me I do, I know both of them will be destined for great things but…"
"There is no need to worry, I am sure that as long they have each other, they will be ok." Replied Drake seeing a similarity of them with himself and Axl.
"Yes, I know that it is good that they rely on each other, but there will be a time that wont be possible and they will have to do things alone." Replied the woman with a hint of sadness and frustration as she sighed.
The woman raised her head and looked at Drake, "how have you been?"
The question didn't change the mood at all as Drake raised his left arm and looked at it, "Everything seems fine, I haven't got an incident in 3 days and I am finally reaching the end of my training."
The woman`s eyes narrowed, "You say 'everything is ok' yet you have not slept nor eat anything in two days."
Drake rose an eyebrow wondering how did she knew only to make her chuckle.
"In case my husband hasn't told you, I am not only the mother of two prodigies but also the one that helped rebuild the HQ and the one in charge o knowing the state of all the hunter, you included." Said the woman feeling proud of doing well her job, "But the weird thing is that even if you haven't slept nor eat anything you seem fine, and even if you are a born celestial you should at least feel a little fatigue."
"You don't have to worry, I am sure it has to do with my current condition and it will pass eventually," said Drake trying to make the woman see he was fine.
"Well, even thought you are not hungry,"
The woman stood up and began walking to the center of the room, "That doesn't mean you can't taste the delicious cake I prepared."
Drake smiled a little as he saw the woman walking to the center of room.
Alia D Dragon, X`s wife, his sister in law, turned celestial, a caring mother and although she does not have a any fighting quality, he could say without a doubt that she was a very strong woman on her own right.
"Here you go," replied Alia giving Drake some of the cake.
"Thanks."
"Keeping company to the loner I see."
Drake`s eye twitched as he saw Marino with a piece of cake of her own, "You are so considered Alia,"
"And you annoying to no end." Said Drake wondering what was it with him that made most of the woman want to tease him.
"Oooooh, I know you don't really think that about little me do you?." said the ninja in a fake sad voice as she took a bite of her cake, "By the way Alia," Marino swallowed and continued, "You really outdid yourself this time, this is delicious "
"Why thank you Marino, lets see if little brother in law here thinks the same." Replied alia and then both looked at the blonde who already had his plastic spoon on his mouth.
"So?"
Drake didn't answer instead he retrieved the spoon from his mouth and stated to chew the cake slowly as he looked at the dish.
"For the love of Oum it is not poisoned," said Marino a little amused of what she was seeing while Drake swallowed and looked at her, "What?" asked the ninja as she was about to take another bite only to stop as Drake walked to her and took the bite before she could, "Hey you have yours!" shouted the fox Faunus ignoring how close their faces were but calmed down as she saw Drake`s eyes narrow.
"What?" asked Marino as Drake stood back and then looked as Alia who was giving him a puzzled look.
"It doesn't taste to anything."
Present time
Axl slowly opened his eyes to see everything blurred until his vision started to get clear as he started to recognize the ceiling of his dorm while the events of yesterday replayed in his mind.
"Dammit X"
After leaving Drake alone in the infirmary, X had took Lambert to the HQ to see how he was while the little brother tried to make the big one talk about what Drake had said.
The good news is that lambert was ok only with a few dislocated bones and that thanks to his aura he would feel a little better in a later date making him stay in the HQ, but the bad news were that not only he was scolded by the person that took part on the creation of his guns and took not one but both making him feel naked, but also that in all that time X did not say anything and even managed to change the subject to Axl`s relationship with Bullet, which worked.
'Seriously what is it with him getting interested in my love life all of the sudden.' Thought the gunslinger as he blinked twice to then face palm himself seeing that he changed the subject himself again.
"Better go and check on Drake,"
Axl was worried about his brother, but he also wanted to know what exactly happen before he arrived and how exactly did he managed to do whatever he did.
He sat on his bed and looked around to see Drake`s black destroyed set clothes lying on his bed.
'Ok, he is already out of the infirmary and I really need to re learn how to stop being a heavy sleeper.' Thought the dragon as he walked to the bathroom ready to take a bath until his scroll rang making him walk to the device to he it was a message from Ren.
'Come. Dinning hall, NOW!'
Axl looked puzzled at the message wondering what was so important to send that message.
"Let me go you bastard!" shouted a very angered Nora who was being immobilized by a set of black chains while Ren sat next to her sighing constantly, "Could you at least give her one?"
"We both know that she has an addiction with pancakes Ren, and I am hungry, really hungry." Replied Drake who was wearing his white set of clothes as next to him stood 3 towers each with 20 pancakes getting the attention of some of the students while the blonde looked at the Ren seriously as he chewed his food.
"Please just one, I promise I will play nice." Said Nora having a change of mood with teary eyes having hope the blonde would be considered with her.
"Nope." Replied Drake knowing she wouldn't keep her end of the bargain.
"Let me go you so I can break both of your legs!"
Another change of mood, "You are nor even putting honey on them!"
"I don't want to eat to much sweet."
That made Nora scream in frustration as she tried to break the chains.
"Having aside the commotion you are causing, it is good to see you are eating again." Ren said as Nora started to smack her head on the table.
"Thanks, although I have no idea of why the sudden need to," said Drake as he took the last bite from his current plate and replaced it with the next now, "the scary thing is that I think that even if I finish this by myself, which I will,"
Nora shouted in frustration, "I think I will still be hungry."
"Not that can I blame you really, you haven't eaten for about two months."
"Why? Why would you do this?" asked Nora with watered eyes only to be ignored by both.
"So, how are you? I think I remember you being in the infirmary with me."
Ren sighed as he looked at the coffee on his mug, "I really don't want to talk about it,"
Drake raised an eyebrow.
"Lets just say that yesterday I understood that I have yet ways to go."
Drake`s eyes narrowed as he looked at his friend, "Was the beating really that bed?"
Ren twitched at that, "You have no idea."
"Wow,"
Drake and Ren turned their heads at the direction of the voice to see Jaune and Pyrrha with their own plates of food, "Are you eating all that?"
Drake nodded as he re focused on his food while they sat.
"Well it is good, I mean we haven't seen you here for a good while so we thought that perhaps you were sick or something."
'Not really far from it'
"What happened to your scarf by the way?"
Drake looked at his scarf to see it was also in the same state of his black clothes yet he did not want to take it off, "He fell." Ren said plainly making Drake mentally sweat drop and at the excuse who thank him nonetheless.
"I am going to ask again, what happened yesterday?" Weiss asked while her and the rest of her team prepared to get breakfast.
"For the twelfth time nothing," replied Yang.
"I do have to admit that I am kind of curious as well."
"Not you too Ruby."
"Sorry sis," Ruby said as she raised her finger and pointed at her dramatically, "But as your fearless leader I command you to tell me what happened yesterday."
"Nothing," replied Yang not in the mood to follow the game of her little sister.
"Then why did you returned bruised and dirty?" asked Weiss seeing that Ruby`s authority power did not overpowered her 'little sister' one.
"I fell." Ruby and Weiss looked blankly at Yang at the poor excuse.
"Will you please drop it?" Blake said trying to put an end to the 'interrogation' as prepared herself to leave.
"Thank you kitty,"
"I mean, it is Yang we are talking about, she probably fell for all we know and could not think on a better excuse." Replied Blake forcing her face not to smile while red and white looked at each other, "Seems legit."
"Hey only because I am blonde doesn't mean I am dumb!" said Yang with eyes turned red, "And you!" Yang pointed at Blake, "How could you?"
"Yeah that is probably what happened," said Weiss nodding repeatedly with a hand under her tip of her chin while Ruby mimicked her, "Now that the mystery is solved lets go to eat." Said Ruby as she exited the room followed by Weiss while Blake put a hand over Yang`s shoulder ignoring the look she was giving her.
"They bought it and that is all that matters." Blake said close to her hear making the blonde realize what her plan was.
"You could at least come up with something better," said Yang calming down.
"My bad, I couldn't think of anything else."
"And I am the dumb blonde."
Blake rolled her eyes and exited the room to meet with Axl who was heading out.
"Hey," said Yang first uncomfortably as she saw that he looked tired, not that she could blame him.
"Hey… how are you?"
"I am fine, what about you?"
"A little sore and numb but I will live."
"Cool…"
Blake looked the change of words as she saw the change of words between the two making her ask herself the question her leader and the heiress had, what happened yesterday?
"Going to check on Drake?"
Blake eyes opened slightly at the mention of her ill friend.
"Not really, he is already out as far I know, going to the dinning hall to see what Ren wants me to see so urgently."
"Any idea where he could be?"
"Probably in one of training rooms." Blake said getting in the conversation while Yang wondered how did she know that and Axl only nodded, "Probably."
"Anyway let go to eat, I am starving." Muttered the orange head as he walked pass them only to stop at the sound of his scroll signaling it was a call, "God damn it Ren I am on my- oh hey… wait today? We can go t- X don't you dare to- hang out."
"Everything all right?" asked Blake only to him sigh.
"Yeah, I just wasn't expecting visits today" Answered Axl as he walked away.
"I am telling you the dorms are not that way." Muttered an annoyed bullet while Marino pointed at a random direction.
"And how would you know?"
"Perhaps because I have already been before and been on my boyfriends room?" said Bullet sarcastically.
"Then why in the name of Oum have we passed here for the third time!"
"Because this god damn place looks the same no matter where I look!"
The two woman continued shouting at each other leaking a little of an aura that made the students around them stay away.
"Excuse me young ladies," said the voice of an older man that made both women stop as they felt a cold chill behind their backs as they looked at the source of the voice.
"I am professor from this institution of learning, and I such I am completely sure to say that I have never seen both of you, but I have no problem in taking care of you and help you in your reasons of being here, as always it is not against this academy." Replied the white bearded man while caressing their mustache giving the two woman the same chill for some reason.
Bullet, who was the first to recover, sighed and took her badge out, "My apologies for our behaviors, I am a ma-"
"Maverick Hunter, I recognize the badge, looking for Drake or Axl?"
Bullet smiled at the man seeing that she and Marino just got a guide in the form of an old man that gave her the creeps.
"Then fear not you ladies, I will gladly take you to them, and perhaps along the way I could tell you two some of my many heroic tales." Said the man enthusiastically as he moved his right arm while Bullet eyes widened in recognition seeing that Axl have described this man as a talker to no end with the power of making his students sleep.
"Thanks a lot mister Port, we would really appreciate it."
"Oh, I see there is no need for introductions, then follow me you two."
'Two?' asked both females as they remembered that they had not come here alone as both turned their heads to a certain spot to see that the persons they came with were no longer there.
"I hate babysitting." said Marino while Bullet just nodded as she sighed.
'The MH HQ may be big and I know it as the palm of my hand, so I truly do not understand how did I get lost, and better yet how did I lost him.' Those were thought of a boy 15 years old with green emerald eyes with light orange semi-spiky hair in a Chinese ponytail that was wearing a dark blue military lie uniform with a coat of the same color and metal boots and gauntlets of black color that had bright blue lines and a chain with the letters GV in tribal and the same color of his outfit.
"Excuse me?" asked a feminine voice with a timid tone.
The boy stopped and turned around to see a rabbit Faunus with brown hair wearing the uniform of beacon.
"Can I help you?" asked the boy.
"I should be the one asking you that seem that you are lost,"
"And how would you know that?"
"Because this is the third time you have walked through this area," said the Faunus as she giggled while the boy stood there not showing any reaction.
"Everything looks the same to me,"
"Yeah that happens to everyone that first come here, believe me."
the girl stepped closer, "I can be your guide if you want?" asked the girl timidly.
The boy only nodded, "I really appreciate it, but I am looking for two persons to be more specific."
"I am a second year, so I know mostly all of the students, who might it be you are looking for?"
"His name i-"
"Well if it isn't the freak?"
The Faunus who was happily yet timidly talking to the boy frowned as she turned around, "CRDL." Muttered the girl making the boy raised an eyebrow as he saw 4 teens walking to them.
"What? Giving the tour to a brat?" asked Cardin ready to pull her ears only to stop as he looked at the eyes of the boy reminding him of someone, "Hey, what is your name?" asked Cardin with a hint of anger by only looking at him.
"I don't see why I need to tell you that when I need nothing anything from you," said the boy walking to him, "Now if you excuse us,"
The boy took the hand of Velvet surprising her and started walking away.
"We are not done yet," Cardin said as he walked quickly to then and grabbed him by the shoulder only to be quickly grabbed and lifted making Cardin be on the air for a second and then slammed on the ground while the members of his team shouted his name and ran to help him.
"Please wait here." Muttered the blonde boy as he calmly walked to the three teens.
Sky, being the closest one launched a fist which the boy grabbed and then pulled to him making Sky lost balance as he received a palm strike and then a flip kick while the other two tried to kick him by the side only to be avoided by the boy who then did a circular kick still in mid hair hitting then on the side of the head.
"I really don't understand why is my uncle here, If this is the best beacon has to offer." Muttered the blonde as he landed and stated to walk to velvet only to see Cardin standing up and taking out his maze.
"Cardin he is just child!" shouted velvet only to be push away while the boy moved his right hand to his back under the coat and before he could do anything else someone interrupted them.
"4 against 1 and in the need of the use of a weapon against someone younger than you, Oum you are really pathetic."
Velvet who was on the ground, smiled as she turned his head to see her teen walking to them while the blonde noticed how tense the mace wielder became as he focused on him once again, "You got lucky." Muttered Cardin as he walked pass him and left with his team following him while rubbing their heads.
"You ok?"
The boy turned around at the sound of a female voice as he saw the three new comers next to velvet while the tall one helped her to stand.
The first one was tall and muscular while the second one was a little shorter with red head and white eyes making him wonder if he was blind but what caught his attention was the last one who had brown hair with a part of it dyed with a little of red.
Instead of wearing a uniform like the others, she was wearing a cocoa-colored long shirt with a dark brown corset. She wears long dark brown trousers with ribbons on the left side and a black belt with bullets. Above it, she wears another cocoa-colored belt of bullets with a gold buckle that has a crosshairs buckle. What appears to be a drape of black skirt hangs on her right side. She also wears a pair of dark brown high-heeled leather boots with buckles and a lot of accessories, sunglasses and a box that he noted it looked kind of heavy.
"Thank you Yatsuhashi, and yes I am fine." Replied Velvet not daring to see at the girl that was wearing glasses while this one just sighed.
"Well at least they didn't pull you ears this time right, thank you for your-" the girl didn't finish her sentence as she looked at the boy from afar and then walked to him.
"Can I help you?" asked the boy confused as he saw the girl looking right at his eyes millimeters from his face as she let her glasses go down a little to reveal her brown eyes.
"Hmm… you remind me of someone, what is your name?"
"It is rude to ask someone`s name when you haven't introduced yourself." Replied the boy only to make the twitch while her team tried to hold their laughs having a sense of déjà vu.
"I don't need your name, with that attitude and appearance I can already tell you are related Drake." Said the girl as she fixed her glasses while the boy nodded.
"Yes, he is my uncle."
"And that confirms it," said the girl as she sighed feeling a migraine coming, "I am Coco, Velvet`s leader, thank you for defending her."
"No need to thank me, I was just defending myself and seeing that she had no intention on doing so I helped her."
Coco growled in exasperation at the answer as she walked back at her team while velvet walked to him, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, not really, it is just that you sound and look a little like your uncle, and Coco and him go way back."
"I see." Replied the boy not really understanding but decided to play along.
"I suppose he is the person you wanted to find correct."
"Affirmative, and I also came with other people but… we got separated in he way."
'To be exact, two of them started arguing about which way to take while I lost sight of the other one.'
"I see, lets first help you find Drake and then we will focus about the rest, my name is Velvet by the way, Velvet Scarlatina." Said Velvet as she offered her hand which he took making all of her hairs stand at the touch.
"Gunvolt, Gunvolt D Dragon, but you can call me GV."
Meanwhile in another part of beacon, there was another boy of the same age who had brown hair and green emerald eyes, he was wearing white pants, blue shoes, Golden bracelets in each arm, a long sleeves black shit and a blue vest with a chain around his neck with the trivial letter V in grey color.
He was currently carrying a very big case with only one thought in mind that he repeated over and over.
'I am not lost I am not lost I am not lost.'
He just didn't understand what happened, he had come here along with his brother and two hunter which got them lost making him and his brother find the way seeing that they were busy discussing among themselves and the next thing he knows is that he got separated from his brother in some point leaving him in his current dilemma with no one around seeing that all the students were even already having classes or breakfast.
"Are you lost?"
the boy turned around to see a girl with dark skin, pale green hair and red eyes.
"Is it that obvious?" asked the boy sighing in defeat accepting that terrible fact.
"Yeah you face pretty much says everything." Replied Emerald with a giggle only to see the boy uncomfortably rubbing the back of his head, "Go ahead talk, I wont bite." She said having in thought something else seeing the big briefcase.
"Can you please help me find my uncles?" asked the boy in a timid voice making emerald.
"Of course, although I am not from this academy, so don't expect me to know which teachers are your uncles."
"Oh no you got it wrong, my uncles are both students, first years to be exact."
"Well that makes it easier, they must be probably be having breakfast then." Said emerald as she motioned her head to follow him.
"One of them perhaps, not sure where would the other one may be." Replied the boy putting an end to the conversation giving the opening to uncomfortable silence from both.
"So… what do you use?" asked the boy not standing against the silence.
"What do I use?"
"Weapon I mean, you are training to be a huntress aren't you?" asked the boy making the Emerald put one of her guns not expecting to be taken out of her hand.
"Revolver with jungle grips with capability of shooting at great speed with the additional function of turning into sickles making in perfect for melee combat from close of from afar thanks to the chains it has."
Emerald was amazed and freaked at the same time, by only touching and seeing one of her revolvers he managed to see what it`s functions were, something truly remarkable.
Emerald seeing that the boy was examining every each of the revolver, noticed that the huge briefcase was lying around making her eyes glint as she walked to it and tried to open it only to notice there was a hole on it that was shaped as a V making see the boy who had a chain with that very same letter.
"Say, since I showed you mine, why don't you show what it is in here?"
the boy stopped immediately and looked at emerald to see her kneeling in front of the case, "Sorry, as much I like to show my creations I am afraid I cannot." Replied the boy as he walked to the girl and returned her revolver ignoring the cat face she was giving her.
"Don't turn me into the bad guy," the boy said trying to fight the adorable face.
"Finally."
Both turned at the direction of the new voice to see a girl wearing the same uniform as emerald with amber eyes and black long hair that was covering part of her face.
"We were supposed to meet 5 minutes ago."
"Sorry Cinder, I got sidetracked."
"It was my fault, I was the one that asked her to help me." said the boy getting the attention of Cinder who stopped looking at his eyes.
"And what exactly was she doing?" asked Cinder making him feel nervous as he started to shutter.
"She was helping me find my uncles."
"And who might that be?" asked cinder already having a good idea of the answer.
"Drake and Axl D Dragon."
Cinder smiled while Emerald`s opened slightly.
"I seem then there is no problem then," Cinder said walking to him and extended her hand, "No need to be afraid, you already know my name, what is yours?" asked cinder noticing how timid was the boy, "Don't be afraid, I wont bite."
The boy then extended his hand and took hers hesitantly, "Vent, Vent D Dragon."
"Well Vent, why don't we take you to your uncle then." Replied Cinder with a smile as they told her they were going to the dinning hall.
"So Vent,"
The younger D looked at Cinder while walking, "Are you as good fighter as your Uncles are?"
Vent`s face turned into a frown at the question making Cinder`s curiosity rise, "Unfortunately I am neither a fighter or hunter material like my father, uncles and brother."
"I see, it must be hard being in a family of hunters and not been able to be one." Replied Cinder with the hopes of breaking him and getting something out of him.
"It is ok really, besides-"
Vent eyed his briefcase, "I may not be a fighter, but all of that is compensated in here." Vent said pointing at his head.
"So you are some kind of genius?"
"Of weapons I presume." Emerald said recalling the event that happened not a while ago while Vent just nodded.
"You wouldn't happen to have some of those weapons in there would you?" asked Cinder.
"Yes, unfortunately just as I told your friend, I can`t show you what it is inside of here."
"What a disappointment, and here I thought I would be seen something amazing." Replied Cinder expressing what she truly felt feeling that she lost her time now that they had arrived to the dinning hall.
"We life in a world of disappointments, with time you get use to it, thank you for your help, have a good day." Replied Vent with a serious yet depressing tone, he bowed his head a little after he spotted both of his uncles and his brother much to his surprise leaving a surprised Cinder and Emerald behind eyeing the boy.
"That was dark."
"Indeed, but also quite informative." Replied Cinder as he saw the way disappearing in the crowd.
To say Axl was surprised was an understanding, when he arrived at the dinning hall he expected something else happening, like Nora breaking CRDL`s legs, this time for real, or better yet Jaune doing it, so he was really surprised when he saw his twin eating a mountain of pancakes after already eaten 3 according to Ren.
"You really are not sharing are you?" asked Weiss seeing Nora whose face planted on the table while said person screamed in frustration.
"I am sorry but I am so hungry right now." Replied Drake after finishing another pancake trying his best not to focus on Yang since he was still mad at her for her irresponsibility in battle, and because he was really sure that she was going to ask him questions of what happened in the forever fall.
"So why aren`t you wearing your usual clothes and why is your scarf turn apart and dirty,"
"I/He fell" replied Drake, Axl and all of JNPR making Ruby and Weiss blink as they saw Yang.
"What?" asked Yang.
"Drake doesn't seem dumb." Said Ruby to Weiss.
"Yeah, but now I remember, yesterday he spent time with Yang so that would explain everything."
"I am right here you know?" asked Yang sarcastically with her eyes turned red as she then looked at Drake.
"Hey can I talk in priv-"
"Hey Drake!" shouted a female voice from afar interrupting Yang and making everyone minus Drake turn since said person already recognized the voice.
'Coco.' Thought Drake as he finished another pancake as he saw team CFVY standing now behind him making him stand up in front of them.
"Drake," started Coco putting moving her sunglasses down a little.
"Coco." Replied Drake making while everyone else saw sparks going out from each others eyes making it a fight of power.
"You know each other?" asked Ruby a little surprised Drake knew the rest of CFVY.
"Unfortunately." Replied Drake making Coco`s eye twitch.
"That is supposed to be my line, tell me what does it feel to be like us poor mortals?" Asked Coco referring about Drake being an student and not been in charge of discipline along Goodwitch.
'Oh the irony.' Thought Axl as he looked at Drake to see what would his answer be.
"It is nice actually, now that I don't have to watch over you, I feel that something really heavy was lifted of my shoulders." Replied Drake looking Coco from bottom to top.
"That only happened once, besides you accepted to do it" Said Coco with a red face of anger while the others wondered what he meant, "Besides, even before that you were already been a bother." Replied the brunette pointing at him.
"You skipped classes and took a bullhead without permission to go to vale for a discount of a clothing store."
"That also only happened once, I asked nicely the next time."
"If next time it means threaten the pilot to death then there is no change. And lets not start about all the classes you misses during your first week and the abuse against your teammate."
"What?" asked Coco as she took off her glasses and used them to point at her team, "I don't abuse of them, right guys?"
The only answer she got was the sound of whistling making Coco turn her head to see them avoiding her look.
"What do I do?"
"The fact that you drag them every time you got a free time you take them to the city to carry your bags… I really have no idea." Replied Drake sarcastically making Coco frown, "We are talking about this later." Said Coco to her team as she turned around to see Drake again with smirk, something she didn't remember him ever do in the past.
"So…" said Drake waiting for her to say something.
"Yatsu," said Coco not looking at the giant of her team gave a step forward with one of his hands over his shoulders carrying something, or in this case someone.
"GV?" asked Drake and Axl simultaneously while the rest saw with analytical eyes what it looked like a little copy of Drake with the exception of the Chinese ponytail while said person waved his hand saying hello while Drake did the same and then looked and Axl.
"Oh yeah forgot to tell you, he and Vent are coming to fix out weapons."
Drake twitched at his brother carelessness and then looked at his nephew, "That answers what he is doing here but, where is your brother? And why are you being carried.
"Lost, and the prada girl said that I did not say a word because I irritate her."
"Acceptable, yatsuhashi you can put him down."
The giant only nodded and did as asked.
"Now than that is done, we are leaving take care brat." Said Coco as she started to walk away while Velvet walked to Gunvolt and thanked him from before.
"And by the way," coco said from afar, "It is good that you change from black to white but please change that scarf and glove they look like something you picked from the trash."
"Almost an entire conversation without talking or in this case critic clothes, so close Coco so close." Replied Velvet as she followed her team.
"I think that is the nicest thing she has ever said to me." replied Drake as he sat with GV next to him and Axl as everyone sweat dropped at the comment.
"You hungry?"
"No I already ate, but I am surprised you are eating." Replied GV making most of them winder what he meant by that while Nora said something else.
"What? You are offering him some and yet you are not giving me a bite!?"
"Because he is family." Said Drake as he continued eating as did everything else while everyone saw the newcomer who was doing the same.
"Umm… Drake."
The blonde looked at Ruby who then looked at GV.
"Right sorry, GV meet everyone, everyone meet Gunvolt."
"It is a pleasure."
"Who names his kid Gunvolt?" asked Blake seeing how ridiculous yet awesome it sounded.
"My brother." Replied Axl making them understand this person was Drake`s and Axl`s nephew.
"Drake said you were here to repair their weapons, are you a weapons expert?" asked Ruby holding her excitement by just saying the word weapons.
"I am sorry to disappoint, but that is my brother."
"One you left behind in this labyrinth you people call academy."
Everyone turned around to see Vent giving the bad eye to his brother.
"It is not my fault you get distracted easily."
"And it is not my fault you don't pay attention to them."
"Enough," said both Drake and Axl making the other pair of brothers to shut up, "Good… weren't there suppose-"
"You are eating?" asked Vent with open eyes interrupting Axl.
"I was surprised as well." Said GV making almost everyone wonder why was that so important.
"Vent, didn't you came here for a reason?" asked Axl making the boy change completely of attitude, he kneeled and opened one of the compartments to pull out Heaven and Earth which he gave to Axl.
"I calibrate them and put a lock in case you put to much energy again."
"And how do i-"
"When the flow of your aura returns to normal levels then the locks would lift." Replied Vent ignoring the bad eye Axl was giving him for not letting him finish.
"And for you." Vent said as he kneeled again to open another compartment.
"Not here Vent," replied Drake putting his plate away.
"What!? No, Let me see! Let me see!" Ruby started wanted to see what weapon was in the case while Yang held her by her hoodie so she wouldn't reach it while Vent looked at Drake who still shook his head.
"Noooooooo!"
"Maybe some other time Ruby, lets go." Drake said standing up from his seat.
"You coming?"
"Nah, I am just going to relax today." Replied Axl meaning what he meant after the beating he got yesterday.
"Actually, I am going to need you for something."
Axl froze at Vent`s request
"I promise it won`t explode… I think." Replied Vent rubbing the side of his head, "But I promise it is gonna be awesome."
"How awesome are we talking about?" asked Ruby getting ahead of Axl.
"11 out of 10." Replied Vent giving his uncle a face similar to the one Ruby was giving showing it was real
That did not make Axl feel any better but decided to please him anyway, "I swear to Oum if I wake up in the next week again, I am going to ground you, literally." Axl said standing up and patting Ren`s shoulder and Nora`s head who had been crying for a while.
"See you later." Said Drake eyeing Yang for a second while the blonde prepared to follow him only to be stopped by Blake.
"Don't, whatever happened yesterday can wait, they have to do something in private and we also have to take care of something remember." Blake whispered on her partner's ear referring to the white fang, but also with the intention of giving Drake some time to think how to deal with Yang.
"Hey aren`t you forgetting something!?" shouted Ren
"Oh right," replied Drake snapping his fingers freeing Nora from the black chains.
"Nora are you ok?" asked Jaune being corcerned of his teammate.
"He ate them all… that bastard."
"Here, you ca-"
"Pyrrha don't!" Ren shouted too late seeing Pyrrha giving away her pancakes to Nora who recovered all her strength and devoured the pancakes instantly.
"More," said Nora growling as she eyes the entire table.
"What have you done?" asked Ren to Pyrrha seeing how Nora jumped at the table and started eating everything while the rest try to stop her.
"I am so sorry!"
"I am amazed you are able to move it in such a deplorable state, I mean even with dad`s help this should have been hard." Said Vent as he saw the robotic arm that was still attached to Drake who was not wearing a shirt, "Ready?" asked Vent while Drake took off Zero`s chain from the hand, "Ready."
The moment he said that Vent detached the arm from the body making the mark Purgatory made visible.
"So that is what the blade would do to a celestial." Said Gunvolt seeing the black mark around all of Drake`s left side of the upped body.
"How exactly are you eating so suddenly?" asked Vent as he put the arm aside and walked to his case.
"I don't know, I just woke up with the biggest growl my stomach have ever make."
"I am telling dad when we return, tell me, what about sleeping?" asked Vent as he opened a separate compartment to reveal another robotic arm with the same design.
"Not really, everything seems like 'normal' in that department, the good thing is that I am haven't got the need of taking the pills so that is a plus."
"So mind telling me what happened with you and Yang before me and Ren arrived, so I can feel you in?"
Drake nodded and did as told explaining what had happened and then Axl did the same.
"We did not see any woman there, probably the wielder of Pandemonium sent her away."
"Probably but he is not the only person we have to worry about,"
GV nodded at what Drake said, "Yes, by the way you described her that woman was without a doubt a celestial, which also happens to know the style you use."
"Not only that, 'everything you do, I can do better.' She was the one that slaughter those man some days ago."
"So she has some kind of sick obsession with you?" asked his brother.
"And she is not the only one."
Everyone looked at him questionably.
"Not like that, every time I recall her face I tell myself I had seen her before but I cannot remember where."
"There is nothing we can do now, only wait." Said GV deciding to be the voice of reason.
"Ouch." Replied Drake getting the attention him and his brother to see Vent putting the new arm.
"Sorry, forgot to advice." Replied Vent finishing putting the arm.
"Well that is done, the advice will be the same until I find a way to make the cannon more stable without it losing power."
Vent stood up and walked to the case putting the old arm there and retrieving a device that he tossed to Axl.
"What is this suppose to be?" asked the gunslinger as he saw a small blocky mechanical artifact that looked like a white with black eyes and a circle in the center with a plain horizontal line in the middle.
"Put some aura into it and make sure your chains makes contact with it,"
Axl did as asked still being careful in case of an explosion, but instead what he got was surprise at what happened.
"M.E.G.A SYSTEM ONLINE, INITIALIZING… SCANNING." said the cubic object that was now starting to change from white to dark blue and red while the eyes changed sea green.
"M.E.G.A SYSTEM?" asked Drake while moving the new arm.
"It stands for Meta-Encapsulated Granule Awareness." Replied GV gaining the look of his uncle.
"Don't ask, that is as much Intel I have manage to obtain."
"Hey, I don't ask about your training, so you don't ask about my projects." Said Vent who was focusing on an holographic screen that appeared on his right yellow bracelet while GV shrugged his shoulders.
"Say Uncle,"
"Hmm?"
"What exactly was that yesterday?"
Drake blinked a few times until he understood what he meant and then looked at the red chain.
"I have no idea, according to your father once a celestial dies his chains disappears along with his domain, so I really have no idea why I am able to use his."
GV looked at the chain.
"Dad used to tell me stories of how great of a hunter uncle Zero was, even when not using his domain but still… an ability like that it is actually scary."
"Yes… to domain time it is something that could change things for good but…"
"M.E.G.A SYSTEM, STABLISH"
Drake words were interrupted by Vent`s device which Axl returned, "Would that be all?"
"Yes thank you uncle!" exclaimed Vent happily as he took the device with care.
"No problem, but stop calling me uncle damn it, I am only 17."
"As you wish uncle." Replied Vent not hearing his request at all while Axl twitched as he smacked him on the head.
"Well, I guess that will be all." Said Gunvolt.
"So soon?" asked Drake.
"Yes, Dad said to return as soon we finished."
'Looks like X isn't taking any risks… but then why did he send them alone, especially with Vent?'
"Uncle,"
Drake`s train of thoughts was interrupted as he saw his nephew looking at him with serious eyes, "Are you going to tell him?" asked GV whispering as he eyes Axl torturing his brother.
"… Yes, but I find it unbelievable that even you know, take care of Lambert while he is there."
"Being able to know this kind of things is a pre-requisite of our line of duty, and don't worry, his company is rather pleasing, for a Grimm hybrid that is." Replied GV as he walked to the door while Vent did the same while rubbing his head.
"Hey there is something I have been meaning to ask." Axl said making both stop
"Please do tell uncle." Said Vent this time totally on purpose.
"Didn't X send with you someone as well? At least that is what he told me." Axl said ignoring Vent only to see both nephews blinking and then looking at each other.
"We forgot about them." Replied both simultaneously making Axl have a bad feeling for some reason.
"I am telling you it is not that way!"
"Are saying my sense of direction is bad!?"
"We have been lost since the moment I let you take charge Marino! So yes I am telling you it sucks!"
"Ladies, please relax there no need to get angry, I am sure your friends safe an-"
"Shut up geezer!" Shouted both woman punching the face of the man without looking at Port who instantly fell on the floor.
'I don't know if pray or envy whoever dates one of these two.'
Those were the last thoughts of Peter Port before passing out while the two still discussed.
"Going to train?" asked Axl who was laying in the bad ready to sleep since it had been a long day but stood up to go with Drake in case he had another attack.
Drake nodded, "Relax, I will have the pills in hand just in case."
"You sure?"
"Yes I am sure." Replied Drake as he walked to the door making Axl lay on the bed once again while Drake opened the door ready to head out but stopped for a second and then closed the door.
"What?"
Drake turned around and sighed, "There is something you need to know."
