Hey guys i know this is a shorter chapter then i usually do but i have some news for the end of the chapter. Anyways stick around and enjoy this chapter at least


CH.8 it's always a mech

"Well we're here time to see what's changed so much" I said as Blake examined the marks on the wall to see if this is the meeting place "I wonder what's gonna happen in there"

"I have no idea but why did you have to change your whole appearance for this?" Sun questioned. "You remember how I left right?" He nodded "Well they tried to kill me for years after that, that's why I'm hiding my appearance,"

"Point taken not gonna ask again," Sun said awkwardly. "Good cause that's still a touchy subject for me and Blake seeing as she was sent after me, okay everyone have the masks,"

"Yeah but my question is why do you guys wear them?" Sun asked boy he is just full of questions today."We wore them because the humans saw us as monsters so we donned masks of actual monsters," Blake chimed in.

"Grimm masks that's dark but expected," Sun said. "Yeah can we hurry up and go in cause it's kinda getting time for it to start and we want to see what's going on, but this kinda gives me a bad feeling as well" this could either end with us getting no info or into a fight I was hoping for an in between of us somehow capturing Roman.

"OK this is a lot more members than I expected I hate crowds" I mumble as Blake pats my back "It's gonna be fine Luke" "I hope you're right cause I hate this paranoid feeling"

This is when Roman and Neo or as I know her the mute come on stage. He explains how humans are the worst and how him and the White Fang share a common enemy the people in charge. He then unveils a new Atlas paladin mech.

"How the fuck did they manage to steal that" I gulp as my worries grow larger. "Why is it also giant robots" "I have no idea but he's staring at us guys," Sun says as Roman starts walking towards us "we need a way out, Blake any ideas"

"I'm working on it" she says as she looks around and notices a power box. "I got it get ready to run" we mm of as Blake pulls out her pistol and shoots the power box and the light go out. We run our way out ot the warehouse and jump through a window. That's when the mech comes running through the wall. This not how I wanted my day to go being chased by another giant robot through a town.

""Someone wanna call for backup and, why the hell is that thing so fast," I yelled as we jumped from rooftop to rooftop. "Already working on that" I heard Blake back "We need help I heard her yell into her scroll" " WHY IS IT ALWAYS GIANT ROBOTS," I scream.

"Where the hell are you guys" asked Yang. "Currently running from a giant mech suit containing Roman heading towards the highway" Blake says trying to remain calm while me and sun are yelling "SEND HELP FAST," I really hate robots more than you imagine.

Neptune and Yang where the first to show up on show up on the highway. Neptune jumps onto the mech and stabs it after firing some shots at it. "Neptune hold on" as sun says that he sends his two clones at the mech then charges himself while he goes to swing down on the mech Neptune gets launched and hits him off the side.

"I'm in position" we heard Ruby say as Weiss turns the ground to ice to slip up the mech sending it off the highway. "Get ready to fly Blake," I say as I open up my wings and fly down to the mech and land next to Ruby."So what's the plan" this brings a smirk to Ruby's face as the others get down here.

"Freezer burn" Ruby tells as as we jump back Weiss freezes the ground and Yang jumps up then punches it. This is actually really smart because from what I know about atlas machines is they don't have heat vision targeting only motion detection. So this makes it good because it can't see us in the fog.

"Copycat" is what I hear Ruby yell out next. I grab my new weapon Phantom Blade and jump at the mech getting ready to slice down onto it. Blake wraps her ribbon around its legs to keep it still. I make contact with the cockpit of the make and can hear Roman yell as I keep stabbing at the robot. I jump off and switch to assault rifle form and land beside Blake as we unload onto the mech with bullets.

"Checkmate" is yelled as the mech charges me. "Oh shit this might hurt" I say as I get kicked up into the air. I have no focus After that kick but once i regain my thoughts I start flying back down. I'm almost to the ground when Neo jumps out to fight me

"You don't have to do this Neo" I tell her hoping she listens. "You can stop this you can stop everything that might happen just help us," she looks really sad and charges me. I know her fighting style and this is not how she normally fights she usually goes for countering like I normally do.

"Neo we both know who wins this fight and it's not you" I get out as she swings her parasol down at me but I block it and sweep her leg. She tries to take out my legs while she's on the ground but I jump over her kick and roll back. She slashes at my chest and cuts my shirt.

"Aww come on that was my favorite shirt," I say but she gasps and I look down and realize she could see all the scars. I hear the mech break behind me. "Okay look I will let you two leave this time just Next time I see you you are to beacon," she nods and teleports to Torchwick. Yang charges them but punches a fake image of them. They get away in a bullhead.

"Hey guys" I say as I walk over to them. "She pull the same trick on you?" I ask while lying. The just go pale when they see all the scars in my chest. "Guys I don't wanna talk about it I was in a very dark place at that time" that doesn't stop them though.

"But they look so fresh" said Yang. I'm just remaining quiet not wanting to talk about it. "Luke when did you last do it, and don't you dare ignore me," more silence. "Why the fuck are you not telling us," as she punches me.

"You wanna know why cause I hate being a burden, that's all I've ever been I don't have a semblance like you guys that helps in a fight my semblance is meant to escape not aid." I say as I try to hold back tears "all I've ever done is train more than anyone in combat just to increase my skills because my semblance had been useless, seriously every time I've ought Yang I've lost and ended up worse for wear,"

"Luke please just tell us the last time you did it" Blake pleaded. "The day we showed up to Beacon" I mumbled and only Blake heard it and got really sad. "Can we please not talk about this right now it was before I had you four to keep me busy and I started to actually get some happiness back at your antics"

"Aww group hug," says Yang "please no," is all I can get out before I'm pulled into them. "You are way too strong for your own good Yang," I groan. "Can we please go back to our dorm now?" I ask. "Because the cops are coming and is rather not get arrested,"

"That might be a good idea think you can fly back to Beacon yourself?" Asked Yang "nope, I can only fly 4 miles at most,"

"Welp Ruby wanna call a bullhead," " Already on it sis,"

We barely talked on the ride home but Blake and I sat there watching a movie. Ruby was cleaning Crescent Rose I swear she had an attraction to that weapon and Weiss was watching her I can tell my sister has a crush on her but I'll talk to her about it later. Yang is asleep of course what else should I expected.

We got back and Blake and I continued to watch our movie while the other passed out. I eventually noticed Blake fell asleep so I pulled her into a hug and stopped the movie and fell asleep as well. Tomorrow was gonna be the one day we had an actual break so I looked forward too that.


So the new is I plan on doing a Halloween chapter before i get to the dance and i'm gonna try and at least finish volume 2 before i have to write my Research paper for school but i have 2 weeks until then so i might not but once i finish that ill will pick up where i left off and head into volume 3 which i am really hyped for. That death battle Between yang and Tifa was great as well. Another Reason i am uploading a short chapter is I'm not gonna be home for the next 3 days so i decided to upload now instead of when i get back. i probably will come back and ad more to this chapter though when i have the time.
