Chapter 3

Despite actually being very capable of traversing through forest canopies, Ren would have to say it got to him quick. Sure he was one of the more agile students at beacon but, he sure as hell wasn't good at outlasting people in a fight. There was only one problem. His stamina.

It was really the only thing holding him back from being a great fighter. He would be in the top ten in his class but, thanks to everyone already knowing about it everyone mainly took advantage of it. If they could get away from him that is. Ren made sure to almost never disengage in a one on one just to get it over with quickly.

That's why at the moment he was nodding off in a tree. Again, Ren was by no means a slacker, but nobody was around to watch him so, he said screw it. 'Jaune probably wouldn't approve.' He thought. 'But it's not like he can stop me.'

As he closed his eyes he felt himself ever so slightly coming closer and closer to his dreamscape. Just when he thought sleep would take him, he heard a noise. Now normally this wouldn't have bothered him considering they were out in the forest, and forests tend have a lot of noises in them right? Of course. The thing was is that it was the farthest thing that sounded like an animal or Grimm for that matter.

To put it into words, the closest thing he could say it was, was a disembodied gurgle. His knowledge of Grimm, sans maybe Blake and Weiss, far exceeded the average first year, having been on the road with Nora most of his life up until beacon. He had seen and fought things most of his friends wouldn't believe. Nora though was ignorant to it all, which he was actually thankful for. Never once had he ever heard such a noise in his life.

Sitting up on his branch, Ren peaked over the edge carefully being as quiet as possible and keeping an ear out. His senses were also the reason he was alive to this day, but he didn't sense anything at the moment, which was a bit strange.

Silently, making sure not to land on any branches or leaves he jumped off the branch and thankfully landed with a quiet thud. Once he hit the ground he flipped both of his guns out of his sleeves and began skulking around the trees in the vicinity.

So far everything had gone quiet, and by quiet he meant dead silent. He remembered hearing a few birds earlier and now all of a sudden they decided to stop singing. The whole situation went from peaceful and calm, to silent and erie real quick, and it had him a bit on edge. Ren wasn't one to lose his cool but he was wondering if he was truly losing it.

Thankfully for his own sanity he heard a tree branch crack to his right. He immediately adjusted himself towards the noise and moved towards it, beads of sweat rolled down his face with each passing step. Soon he came to a stop behind a fairly large tree and put his side to it. Checking both halves of storm flower he braced himself. With the faint sounds of footsteps coming from behind the tree, he moved.

As he came from behind the tree he had his eyes closed briefly and when he opened them he was met with the bewildered amber eyes of his fellow ninja Blake Belladonna.

"Ren?" she had asked. "Is everything ok?"

Taking the time to holster, or sleeve in his case, his guns he gave her a stiff nod.

"Yes, just thought I heard something." Blake carefully looked around and focused her hearing for anything at his response.

Silence.

"Ok well, we've been out here awhile and my recon hasn't been too successful, we should probably head back."

Ren was a little taken aback at her suggestion, but wasn't to the point where he was completely against it. Plus he hadn't had much luck either, other than that noise he just heard.

"I couldn't agree more." he said

When he finished Blake turned and started walking. He was right behind her, but not without a look back over his shoulder, before he was right next to her. When he caught up to her, to his surprise she started talking to him.

"I've heard you like to go to the library often, read anything good?" The question and the way she asked it sounded foreign to him, coming from her. She sounded genuinely curious. He had never had a one on one with her, despite how often their teams hung out. This was new to him.

"Uh, nothing in particular, recently I've just gone to study up on midterms, haven't had much time for recreational reading." Now that he thought about it he hadn't had time to sit down and read a good book, mainly due to team training and Nora being Nora. He made a mental note to do just that when they got back.

He glanced over at her and, was she blushing? "Well, there is this really good book series that I recommend reading, it's really graphic, and has a really good plot." Well he wasn't objected to reading something graphic, and if Blake said it had a good plot then it must be pretty good, considering she reads all the time.

"Sure, I'll check it out, what's it called?" She looked down for a few seconds before looking at him. "It's called ninjas of..."

Before she finished a explosion rang out in the distance.

It didn't take long for Ren to figure out the cause as his eyes grew wide before taking off towards the facility. From what he could gather Blake was right behind him as well, judging by the panting. Although he was too worried to even give her a second look as three more explosions rang out. He picked up his pace and soon enough he got close enough to hear the sound of Yang's gauntlets going off as well.

After a few more seconds of running he reached the edge of the clearing and burst through it. Once he did though he almost had his legs blown off by one of Nora's grenades that seemed to have missed..her...target?

Now laying on the ground he did a once over of the area and noticed there wasn't anyone else but Nora and Yang in the clearing. That didn't make any since.

For what possible reason Nora had been shooting her grenade launcher with reckless abandon was beyond him. Sure Ren knew she was crazy, but not this crazy. If he knew her as well as he did she would have rather of blown something up instead of just wasting them.

The ringing in his ears subsiding, he heard a few pairs of feet running to him. "Ren!" Nora being one of the pairs of feet yelled. Now sitting he looked up at his best friend/assailant with a questioning look on his face.

"I'm not mad." Was the first thing out of his mouth. "I would just like to know the reason why."

Nora visibly calmed down once he had said that. She couldn't stand when he was mad at her. Not because she was scared of him, no. She was scared of not hearing his voice for a week. That thought alone was enough to make her tear up.

"Well we got board, so I came up with an idea to have a little fun." Yang had answered for Nora. "Which was...?" Blake asked.

"For Nora to shoot her grenades into the air, and for me to take them out, I was actually perfect until you came into the clearing, sorry." Yang finished with a hand down to Ren which he gladly accepted.

"So let me get this straight, your idea of fun is to waste ammo?" Blake asked with a glare.

Yang just scratched the back of her head. "Well when you put it like that of course it sounds bad."

"I'm just glad you're both ok, we heard the explosions and thought you guys encountered something."

"You and Jaune are just worry worts aren't ya?" Ren gave Nora a look. "Well sorry for caring." Nora just giggled.

After that situation was settled everything went quiet.

"So" Yang started. "did you guys find anything?"

Blake answered first. "Only some Grimm footprints, nothing out of the ordinary."

When she finished everyone looked to Ren for his findings. "Nothing except a...strange noise." Everyone looked at him questioningly. "What do mean strange noise?" Nora asked.

"Well it's hard to explain, it kind of sounded like..." Mid sentence he was cut off by said noise from earlier, except this time it was much, much louder.

Simultaneously all four of their heads looked back into the forest with wide eyes.

"that."

The facility's cafeteria was not up to standards, or at least to Weiss. If you thought about it, those were really high standards. Then again the state it was currently in was an exception of course. The same scene could be seen in this room as in the other. One thing that was different was that there were trays of uneaten food on some of the tables scattered throughout the room.

Despite that though, Weiss was now dealing with a new problem and that problem rhymed with faun park. She thought this thing between them had been settled, although not directly between the two but through Neptune.

'Ugh...Neptune.'

Sure, she was grateful for what Jaune had done but, Neptune obviously wasn't in it for the 'long haul', as she had heard Yang refer to it has. She was looking for a relationship that would last. If it were going to be with someone she didn't want it to be with someone like him anyway, and she sure as hell didn't want it to be with anyone her father set her up with. She just hoped Jaune didn't have any plans.

As soon as she knew he had entered the room behind her she turned on him. "What do want?"

Jaune had managed to stop about two steps in front of her. The question he got was just about what he was expecting. He had prepared for it but that didn't stop him from rolling his eyes.

"Ok, well it's not what you think." he started, gaining a raised eyebrow in response.

"Really, what is it then?" He scratched his cheek and glanced around the room. Thinking back on it he never really had been alone with her like this before. It made it a bit awkward for him.

"Ahem?" Oh, right.

He reached down into his pocket and pulled the I.D. card out and held it up to her. "This is what."

Weiss glanced at his out stretched hand and then back to him. "Your scroll is what you wanted to talk about?"

He looked at her questioningly before turning to look at it himself. It indeed was his scroll.

With a deep sigh and a few muffled curses he shoved his scroll back down into his left pocket before reaching into his right. With his luck he'd probably somehow have a second one on him.

Before pulling it out he made sure it was the card and only then did he show it to her. When she caught sight of the SDC's logo on it she ripped it out of his hands. "Hey, watch it!" Jaune yelped.

She ignored him completely and began to study the card thoroughly. 'Hm.'

"Where did you find this?" she asked. "It was on one of the desks in the research room, I thought maybe I might show it to you and get your take." He finished motioning to the room behind them. Weiss just looked back at the card.

"This has no business being here, what on remnant could-." Jaune took a step closer once she didn't finish her sentence. "What is it?"

"The name." she responded.

"What about it?"

"It...sounds familiar." At the response Jaune gave her a deadpan stare. "Is that it?"

"Hey, at least it's something, I'm just trying to figure out where I've heard it from." 'Flare Songbird, Flare Songbird.'

They stood there for another five minutes, Weiss thinking and Jaune waiting.

"C'mon Wiess, if you can't think of anything we should probably take a look around or it'll be Winter by the the time you do." As soon as he finished, with the speed that could match Ruby's she turned toward him. "That's it!"

Eyes wide Jaune could only question. "What is?"

"Winter, my sister Winter, the last time I talked to her, I remember her offhandedly mention this person's name." she explained "In what context?"

"If I remember correctly it had something to do with them not reporting in when they were supposed to." Jaune had suddenly started to feel sick to his stomach again. "Well he must have been pretty important if Winter even gave him a second thought." Weiss finished looking up at Jaune.

Jaune nodded. "Yeah, well that's another reason why being here doesn't feel right, and even I'm starting to get fed up with it."

"Aren't you the one who insisted we stay?" she asked at his remark. "Well it's becoming increasingly clear to me that Pyrrha was spot on, that whatever went down here is way out of our league. The only thing still keeping me from calling it quits is guilt of not finding anybody down here." He finished with a finger to his head to get his point across.

"Oh." Was all Weiss could say.

"Anyway." he continued. "Let's do our job and we'll head back up, take the kitchen I'll stay out here."

Weiss did as she was told with a nod, albeit hesitantly. She had never quite seen Jaune like this before. Then again the same could be said for Pyrrha. When she looked into his eyes she could see the once determined yet goofy boy she was used to, having an internal war with himself. This situation must be really eating away at him. 'Maybe me not being selected as leader was a good thing after all.'

She gave him one last look over her shoulder before entering the surprisingly small kitchen. You'd think it be much bigger seeing as people lived here. Although the number a people who actually did was a mystery so maybe there was a reason for it. There were a couple of ovens and stoves in the middle with refrigerators and coolers on the outer circle. Some were in place while others were tipped over with the same amount of blood as everywhere else.

Weiss surveyed carefully, looking behind and even inside a few of the refrigerators. Most of her progress was impeded though mainly due to the blood. What she was wearing costed a lot more money than everyone thought. Despite her job, she tried everything she could not to get dirtied up. Only when it was required was she mildly ok with it.

At one point she came across fridge that was a bit larger than all the others. It was located on the far wall which in all honesty kind off made since seeing as if you were going for symmetry it would put the whole room together. Although the coloring was a bit off from all the others.

Weiss knew a secret entrance when she saw one.

The Schnee mansion was full of the things. Whenever her father was away herself along with Winter would explore them for hours. Klein of course being Klein would always vouch for them if they were late getting back. It was the only real part of her childhood she missed.

Sure enough when she went to look down the back there was definitely a concealed entrance. "Jaune!"

"Yeah?"

"Get in here!"

Not a minute later he was at her side. "What did you find?" She motioned towards the large obstacle before them.

"A refrigerator...those are quite common you know." She rolled her eyes at his smart alec remark.

"Not the fridge you dolt, look behind it." Jaune raised his eye before slowly walking over and taking a peek behind it.

"Oh, your right." he said before walking back to the front. "That's not inconspicuous in any way."

"C'mon, help me move it."

Jaune went to move and noticed that Weiss hadn't. "Aren't you gonna help?" he asked.

"Your stronger than me aren't you, you should be able to handle it fine." He stood there a moment, staring at her incredulously.

"Ugh, fine." And with that he went to work.

The whole ordeal only took about two minutes, revealing two large steel doors after the fact.

"I wonder where these lead." Weiss had said aloud in her own curiosity.

"Probably nowhere good." Jaune stated. He knew what she was thinking, and that most certainly didn't bode well with him.

Jaune though couldn't blame her. Her family name wasn't exactly looked upon in a good light. If this particular incident managed to get to the public and they managed to find more of these name tags, then they would have a direct link to the company, good or bad. The media tended to twist and turn things to their liking and he was for sure they would try and make whatever happened here the SDC's fault.

Not that Jaune actually had any reason to care for the companies reputation itself. Hell he really didn't like them to any capacity, after hearing some of the horror stories that came out of their dust mines. Those poor Faunus. Although the only reason he had any inclination to care was standing right next to him.

Sure Weiss had been a complete and utter bitch to him, but even Jaune had realized that was of his own doing. Plus ever since the dance she had been somewhat nicer to him. She had even gotten to the point of addressing him by his first name! He had to do a double take after he heard her say it for the first time.

Regardless, he cared about her, he just hoped she felt the same.

Without much care Jaune stepped towards the two large metal slabs and nearly jumped out of his skin when an automated voice started to speak.

'I'm sorry, but your DNA does not match up with any known individual in our database. If you are a new inductee, please scan your identification card on the console located to your right.' After it was done, a small panel came out of the wall.

He looked back to Weiss who had already been looking his way. He nodded to her with his hand outstretched. She nodded back and walked up to stand beside him, handing him the card in the process.

Card in hand he slowly made to put it up to the screen. A small, thin layer of light protruded from the center of said screen, scanning it.

After a few seconds the A.I. came back. 'Access granted, thank you Mr. Songbird'.

The doors then started to part, revealing a very small room. It didn't lead to a hallway or anything of a sort, it was...

"An elevator?" Weiss asked turning to Jaune. "Seems so."

The two teens were extremely befuddled by their new finding. 'What exactly were they hiding here?'

"Well, nothing ventured nothing gained I supposed." She said stepping inside.

He rolled his eyes at her not asking his opinion and just followed suit. When they both were in, there were only two buttons, an up and down arrow. They each shared a glance before Jaune stepped forward and tapped the down arrow.

The elevator responded with the doors closing and the slight jolt of it moving downward. Now they played the waiting game, in silence, or at least Jaune had though they would.

"Really?"

"What?" he asked honestly.

She put her hand on her hip and gave him a look that asked her same exact question.

"Your not even going to say anything?"

"Say anything about what?" He asked again throwing his hands up in mild exasperation.

Weiss just pinched the bridge of her nose. "Your willing to come down here with me without putting up any kind of protest about how we probably shouldn't do something so reckless that could get ourselves killed?"

She herself even knew that this was dangerous, she just couldn't stand for what might become of her families image.

Realization was prevalent on his face when she was done. Now he just needed to get his argument out there.

"Well, I guess you could say there are two reasons why I didn't say anything. One, if there is anything I've learned from knowing you, it's not to argue with you." She gave him an icy glare for that one.

"And two, well I saw that look in your eye upstairs, I may not be the biggest advocate of the SDC, but I assumed, hopefully correctly, that you don't want this to somehow affect the image of your name and company, so I let it slide. Plus I know how you feel. I wouldn't want the same for mine either. We're well known warriors after all."

Her intense glare was then replaced with wide eyes. 'How on remnant could he have possibly figured that out!'

"You are the most perceptively dense person I have ever met in my life."

Jaune scrunched his face in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Just forget it." She said facing the front.

He went to question, but remembered the first reason he so blatantly followed her in here, and stayed silent. The silence only continued for a few seconds before she so reluctantly asked, "So...I've seen you've been improving lately."

The reluctance stemming from the fact that they hadn't actually ever had a civil conversation, not counting the one they just had upstairs. Only one that friends would have. Which begged the question, were they friends?

She honestly hoped the answer was yes.

Weiss had never been one for face to face apologies. Her hope was that maybe she could express her apology through her actions, and words if you count making conversation. She was truly sorry for the way she treated him after all. The only thing was she didn't know if he secretly held it against her.

The question honesty surprised the blonde. "Um, yeah I guess I have."

Well that certainly was not the answer Weiss had wanted. "Well, what's it like having Pyrrha as a mentor?" she asked again hoping for a more detailed response.

"To be honest, it's kinda irritating, in a way." he answered, face falling slightly.

Well that's curious. "In what way?"

"Well..." He started, trying to pick his next choice of words carefully.

"Don't get me wrong, she's great, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have made the strides I've made so far."

'Well that's obvious'

"It's just that...do you know what it's like to constantly train and spar with the same person who is leaps and bounds better than you in every way everyday?"

Weiss most certainly couldn't say so, and she thought she knew where this was going.

"It sucks."

She had to raise an eyebrow at that one. "Again, in what way?" She urged.

"It sucks because I know that she is only using less than a quarter of her actual skill when we spar. It sucks because that's all it takes for her to lay me out on my ass every time. It sucks because...because it's a painful reminder that I still have a long way to go before I could even last five seconds against her skill or any of you for that matter. It...it just sucks."

Jaune now had his back against the wall with his head and shoulders drooping. She really didn't know what to do. Just mark that down as another one of the few things Weiss Schnee wasn't very good at. Apologizing, emotional support, and making puns.

Regardless, she tried anyway.

She put a hand on his shoulder, which caused him to look up.

"Look at it this way, every second that you haven't lost means, uh, you've improved...somewhat?"

He stared at her for a few seconds before chuckling lightly, and standing up straight.

"Oh man, you know you aren't very good at this right?" She scrunched her face up at his rhetorical question.

"Well at least I'm trying!"

Jaune having recovered from his small laughing fit, just agreed. "Yeah you are, but for what it's worth, thanks."

For the first time ever after meeting her, she smiled at him, a very small smile that could have been mistaken for a smirk, and nodded. "What are friends for?"

Now it was his turn to raise an eyebrow. "Oh, so we're friends now?"

"Were you under the impression we weren't?" She asked, already knowing his answer.

"Uh yeah, you kind of spent the entirety of first semester hating my guts."

Weiss just folded her arms. "Well, we are."

"Fine by me." He said with a huge grin of his own.

Silence returned to the two after their little 'bonding moment' of sorts. That is until Jaune had a concerning thought.

"Hey Weiss?"

"Yes?" She said turning to him.

"How long have we been on this elevator?"

"I...don't know."

"You think maybe-" Just when he thought he was going to be able to finish his sentence, he was interrupted for about the third time today, by the elevator coming to a stop.

The teens looked to each other before reaching for their weapons, reading themselves for any surprises that lie beyond the elevator doors. When the doors opened thats exactly what they got, just not one that could kill you.

In this secret part of the facility was a very large room, probably twice as large as the one upstairs. This one surprisingly didn't have the blood splatter like the other ones did, but rather robot parts scattered everywhere. The room itself was long and wide and made up of more terminals and...life pods?

The walls were lined with them. Each of them had its glass shattered, signifying whatever was in them wasn't anymore. Not to mention that some sort of green fluid that leaked from each as well.

It wasn't until Jaune and Weiss' eyes caught sight of the very end of the room that they knew what the likely cause of all this was. There was one pod laid out on its side that stretched the entire length of the wall and had completely been torn off of whatever it was hooked up to prior to what happened.

"Well, I can say for certain now, that this is something I had expected." Jaune had said.

"Really?" Weiss asked him with a hint of incredulity.

"Oh no, I totally didn't think that a facility that is supposed to be researching Grimm, didn't have something else that wasn't Grimm hidden somewhere when all signs of what happened here point to that exact hypotheses."

"..."

Weiss just stared at him. "That's a bit convoluted, especially for you."

"Hey, I have a lot more going on up here than you think." he said pointing to his head.

"Yeah, sure." She said with faux eye role.

"Well I'll have you know that ever sense the semester started I've maintained an A as my average for each class." He said, standing a bit taller at his proclamation.

She had a look of genuine shock on her face. "Really?"

"Yeah, it turns out if you actually study, it comes easily."

"Sometimes I wonder if your actually being serious with these sudden realizations or just messing around."

'For now I'll just go with he latter.' She thought to herself

"Yeah, well...forget it let's just focus on the task at hand."

They had got a little too caught up in their conversation to realize the gravity of the situation before them.

"Right." At that Jaune started walking down the main isle, which could fit around four people if they were walking side by side. The others were meant for about two. The shear size of the terminals were the main culprit. They were huge compared to the ones upstairs.

They walked with each other down the main walkway until Weiss broke off about halfway down and into one of the smaller isles.

She ran her fingers along some of the various cuts in the machinery while having to ever so often step over a pile of robot. That was another thing that poked at her brain.

If she had done her research, which she had, the models of these robots were Atlesian Knights, the new ones too. She had already seen them in action during the breach, but that was an emergency. Obviously this was too, but there was absolutely no way for Ironwood to ship all of these here that quickly. They had must of already been in service down here, but the question was for how long.

Weiss knew she wouldn't get any answers, not here anyway. Her only true link was Winter and she knew if she had even said one word about this place or about the service records of the Atlesian Knights, she would be be met with big fat Classified.

"Find anything?!" Jaune had yelled from the front of the room.

"Not yet, you!?"

"Nada!"

Damn.

Weiss continued to mull around her area, thinking she should just get Jaune and get out of here. The place gave her the creeps anyway. That was, until she came across a particularly cluttered terminal.

Sprawled out before her were various documents and files she could only assume were meant for the execs sent here. That was indeed the case as the first file she opened revealed her family crest with some wording towards the bottom.

She flipped through the documents, each she really didn't give the time of day, just trying to find something more eye catching. Towards the ends she finally did. It was of what seemed to be of a test run on an animal, a deer to be precise. It read:

Test Subject #343

'The subject prior to testing appears to have been in some sort of accident, likely a run in with a Beowulf. Large claw marks on stomach, various bite marks on legs, and a nasty gash across left eye. After subject was injected with host cells, improvement was noticed almost immediately.'

'Within the first few hours of injection, subject remained in a healthy state, unlike others.'

'Within the next few days the subjects claw marks and teeth marks healed almost completely.'

'Within the next week the slight limp the subject had, likely a bi-product of the teeth marks on its legs, ceased to have any affect on its walking ability.'

'Within the second week the gash on its left eye had completely healed and its eye was fully functional.'

'The subject is now in good health and is still being monitored.'

'While testing was a success, there were a couple of mild side affects.'

-Yellowish tint in eyes

-Mild skin condition

'It can be confirmed that host cells have major regenerative abilities, even when bonding with a foreign cell. Further testing is needed to study any potential long term effects.'

It was also worth pointing out that there was a huge stamp on the top in green that read 'success'.

Weiss was now at the edge of her seat she needed to look at the others, to see their trials and what happened to them. Sadly she didn't get to as a extremely loud noise over came her hearing accompanied by a large flashing red light.

'INTRUDER ALERT'

'INTRUDER ALERT'

'UNAUTHORIZED PERSONAL DETECTED'

The same warning kept repeating itself over and over again. It was starting to grate on her nerves, especially when she realized that Jaune must have done something.

"Ugh!"

Before taking off though, she collected a few of the files and documents and shoved them into her small jacket pocket. It was a very tight fit, but it would have to do. She wasn't about to leave without something as eye catching and interesting.

By the time she had reached the boy the alarm was the only thing that was sounding. He had been standing over a terminal with his hands in his hair.

"What the hell did you do!?"

"I don't know, one moment everything was fine, the next my foot got caught up on some robot wire, I go to catch my fall and it turns out I pressed that instead!" He said pointing to a large red button on the aforementioned terminal.

"How do you manage these things!?"

"I don't know ok, I'm sorry, it was an accident!"

Weiss for the life of her just sighed and didn't say anything else, for sake of not having to yell anymore.

"And besides..." Jaune continued. "it's not like they have much in the way of security!" He finished with his hands motioning around the room.

By the time he had put his hands back up to his ears the alarm stopped and anything went quiet again.

"Oh thank Oum, that was too incessantly loud." Weiss complained

"Yeah, definitely and come to think, of...it..." Jaune had trailed off.

"What?" Wiess asked eyebrow raised.

"Do you hear that?"

Once the ringing had left her hears, she did in fact hear something.

"What is that?"

"I...I wanna say it almost sounds like metal shifting." he answered her uncertain.

All of a sudden the noise stopped abruptly.

The two teens looked at each other, Jaune having shrugged in the process.

It was around that moment that they heard, and felt the loudest thud they ever heard. Eyes wide and uncertain the two of turned around very slowly. What they saw didn't give them any comfort.

It was an Atlesian Paladin.

"Uhh that's a really big robot." Jaune had quietly managed.

The paladin seemed to almost not notice them at first having been arming its weapons for past few seconds.

"Jaune."

The paladin had finished priming itself, glowing red as it decided to finally notice them.

"Jaune."

The paladin lifted its arms up, revealing its main guns on either arm a disturbing sound coming from each.

"Jaune!"

Jaune had only managed to snap out of it before the inevitable happened.

"Move!"

And with that it opened fire.

Chapter end

A/n: Hey guys sorry for the wait on this one. Life and the such having the biggest impact. The only time I'll probably have a consistent update schedule is during the Summer. I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next on!
