Hello everyone, Melody here. Glad people seemed to like the last chapter. I don't have much to say here other than I got a little suprise for one of the readers of the story. So anyway let's get onto the chapter.

Sincerely, Melody

Normal P.O.V.

"So why are you going into town?" Mercury asked Lothur as he looked over to him.

"Figured I could get something for Weiss for the Vytal Festival." He answered as he put a beanie on.

It had been a bit since the wolf boy had started hanging out with Team RWBY but his team knew why. Within the span of a few months they had seen him grow a big crush for the Ice Queen as they all called her. Faina teased him to no end about it but he didn't really care. Lothur quickly slipped his lighter in his pocket but before he could leave Emerald put her hand on his shoulder.

"Why do you have a lighter?" She asked since she had never seen him with it before.

"You always need one with you just incase." He answered as he threw on his jacket and walked out of the door. "See you guys later."

He walked down the hallway and put his hands on his pockets. He was wearing a black t-shirt that said smile on it, black cargo pants, combat boots, a white flannel shirt, a white beanie, and his silver ruby ring. The past few months have been crazy though. Cardin started to use Jaune as his whipping boy and almost did something extremely stupid: But that was stopped once and he gained a new respect for him.

Before the airship left he got on and sat down. Then he put on a pair of headphones and started to listen to music. From how it looked he was the only one on the airship until he saw that Boone guy he had met while ago. When Boone saw him Lothur waved at him. He took off his headphones and walked over to him and sat down by him.

"Hey Boone." He said as he looked at him.

"Hey kid, you're one of the students aren't ya?" Boone asked as he looked at him.

"Yeah I am, we met at Professor Ross' house remember." He suggested then Boone nodded.

"Yeah so what are you doing?"

"I'm going into town to get something for someone for the Vytal Festival." He answered with a chuckle.

"What's that?" Boone asked.

"Well it's a celebration of when the Great War ended." Lothur answered.

"You guys had a Great War here too?" He asked as he looked over to him.

"Yeah we did, you also have one?" The teen asked since he knew Boone wasn't from Remnant.

"Yeah we did, but in our world it got nuked to hell and is practically gone. Just a wasteland." He answered as he adjusted his glasses then pointed at his hat. "But we got governments set up. NCR is the best one though."

"What's that mean?"

"New California Republic." Boone answered him as he leaned back in his seat.

"Cool." Lothur said. "Well I'm going to go back to my seat. See ya later Boone."

"See ya kid." Boone replied.

After a bit the airship finally landed and Lothur got off. Then he started walking around Vale. When it came to climate he prefered Atlas since he was more adjusted to the cold but Vale was still nice. Even though he had red hair his tail was stark white. Hell it even surprised him he had a tan. As he walked through Vale he looked around at some of the booths that were already set up. It took him awhile but he actually found something he thought was suitable and bought it on the spot.

At The Port

"Hey get back here you no good stowaways!" A man yelled as he and another man chased two Faunus.

"Hey no good stowaways would've been caught, we're great stowaways!" Sun yelled back as he hung upside down from a light post.

"Yeah screw you!" A lizard boy also yelled in a deepish voice as he crouched down on top of the light post.

"Hey you two get down from there." A cop ordered them only to get a banana peel to the face.

They duo simply laughed as they jumped down then ran off. The lizard boy had dark hair, black lizard like eyes, a peach complexion, and a long lizard tail while the clothing he wore simply consisted of boots, a sleeveless shirt, cargo pants, and a black cloak. He was also extremely tall and quick. He easily kept up with Sun.

They quickly ran past Team RWBY and he saw Sun wink at the Faunus girl that was with them. Attached to the larger boy's side was a handle and two long pieces of metal that looked like it would go in between an actual blade. As they rounded the corner they quickly dashed down an alleyway. Then they climbed up to a roof. When they were up there they high fived each other.

"Damn Sun that was great." He laughed a bit as he cracked his back.

"Yes it was Drakon." He replied as he also started to laugh. "Anyway let's find Beacon. We got a few days before the others get here so we should find out soon."

"Already know where it is." Drakon replied as he held up his scroll. "Unlike you I prepared."

"Yeah yeah whatever." Sun Shrugged. "Let's get going then."

Lothur hadn't expected to run into RWBY while he was in town but when he did he heard all of what Weiss was saying. It did nothing but fill him with sadness when she was basically saying all Faunus were bad. He had turned the corner at the time and was behind her but Blake, Ruby, and Yang could see him. All he did was quietly walk over and stand behind her. He let out a cough to her know he was there.

"What!?" Weiss yelled as she turned around to see him. "Oh no…" Her expression changed from anger to regret in an instant.

"So what the fuck am I then?" He asked as he looked down at her. "Am I a scoundrel?"

"No Lothur you're not I just meant-"

"Meant what? You were talking about how a monkey guy was evil for doing something that I don't know what nor give a crap about. All I heard was you rant about how all the Faunus that commit crimes are going to end up in the White Fang." He told her with a frown overtaking his normally playful smirk.

"Nonono Lothur no that is not what I meant at all." She tried to correct her mistake which made him frown even more.

"You know what fuck it, here. I bought this for you, don't why now." He told her as he handed her a bag then walked off.

Then broke out into a dead sprint once he rounded the corner. After a bit he just stopped and sat down on a bench. He just sat there not wanting to move at the moment. All he had to do was think which he would've happily done if not for two guys to walk over and sit on the bench by him. One with a monkey tail and the other with a lizard one.

When he looked at both of them he noticed they were both Faunus. He simply chuckled quietly to himself as he looked back down at the ground. He heard them mumble a few things before he felt a hand on his back.

"You okay man? You seem depressed." He heard one of them ask.

"Yeah I'm fine just a bit upset is all." Lothur replied as he sat up and looked both of them over.

"Wanna explain why?" The lizard guy asked.

"Nope, not gonna explain myself to strangers. The name's Lothur Blutmond by the way." He told him as he regained his smirk.

"I'm Sun Wukong, and Mr. Gothic over there is Drakon Marvos." Sun replied with a chuckle. "Guess we aren't strangers anymore."

"Guess not." Lothur laughed a bit. "Welp basically I hate relationships that's why I'm like this."

"Relationships do suck at times. I'm happy mine hasn't gone downhill yet even though it's a long distance one." Drakon commented.

"I don't think he wants to hear that Drak." Sun told his friend.

"Sorry." He told Lothur who shrugged.

"She ain't my girlfriend. I was trying to get that to happen but I'm reconsidering that." He admitted. "Bought her a little stuffed bear and a scarf a little bit ago, heard her arguing with her friend, some things were said about Faunus, I gave her the gift, then I ended up here. Listen to me, Sis would be laughing at me right now for explaining my problems to two complete strangers." He laughed.

"Well people go to therapy so this isn't really different." Sun suggested which caused them all to laugh more.

"If you say so." Lothur said in between laughs.

"Wait a second, doesn't your girlfriend live in Vale? And go to Beacon?" Sun asked as he looked at Drakon who visibly paled.

"Shit! I gotta go get her something!" He yelled as he got up and ran off.

"What a weirdo." Sun chuckled. "Well can you show me to Beacon? I kinda don't know my way there."

"Sure let's get going then. The airships aren't that far anyway." He told him as he stood up off the bench then started to walk.

Two Hours Later

"Why are you asking me to fix things between you and Lothur? It seems like he has the right to be angry and sad right now." Faina told Weiss as she looked at her with an unamused expression. She already saw Blake run out of their room and Lothur also leave. She knew someone fucked up.

"Because I messed up and I need your help… I didn't mean to hurt his feelings." She replied quietly. They were currently in the kitchen of the dormitory alone. "I really regret what I said."

"So you do like him. Hm." Faina said as she pushed the counter. "Now listen here, if you want to fix things you talk to him not me. It's not my problem."

"I would but I don't know where he is." Weiss told her with a hint of frustration.

"He's in the Emerald Forest. Said he wanted to blow off some steam." She informed her. "You also need to apologize to Blake."

"Thanks Faina." She told her as she ran out of the kitchen.

"Called it." Faina said once she was out of the room.

In the forest Lothur was currently fighting off a group of Beowolfs. He was more savage than normal as he fought them. All he wanted to do was get his blood pumping. As he cleaved another Grimm in half he heard a strange roar that he had never heard before. When he turned around he saw a giant tan lizard with nasty claws. His jaw dropped as it charged at him with lightning speed. He quickly pressed a few buttons on his bracelet and four bots crawled out of his case. The quickly attached to his back and his legs.

"Activation Protocol: Fliegende Bestie!" He shouted as they turned on then he quickly flew up in the sky.

When he looked down he saw a whole group of the monsters, about eight in total. They were like nothing he had ever seen before. Strange noises came out of the boots and the wings stopped flapping. Before he knew it he was plummeting back towards Remnant. With a crunch he hit the ground and when he looked at his leg he saw it was at a weird angle.

Panic took over him as the monsters came closer and closer. They saw him as easy prey and he knew it. So all he did was lay there and wait to be eaten. Maybe it wouldn't hurt that much. Before he knew it though he heard gunshots and when he looked over he saw Ross, Boone, and Weiss running over. The two adults firing their weapons at the monster and Weiss running over to his side.

"You stay the hell away from my student!" Ross yelled as he dashed over and pulled back his arm which had shifted into the grenade launcher mode. Then he punched the Deathclaw in the face while firing said launcher. Everything got red and chunky and misty.

"Jesus Six! I can't get a good shot on them!" Boone yelled at him as he pulled the bolt back of Punisher then fired at another one of the Deathclaws and killed it in one shot.

The Deathclaws had detected a better prey and immediately went to attack the duo while Weiss dragged Lothur away from the battle. When they were away from it Weiss looked back over to where the gunshots were coming from. Lothur reached for his bracelet and hits a few buttons then his case rocketed over to them. The rest of the bots come out and attach to his body. With a loud crunch it set his leg in place and all he had was a pained look for a minute. Finally the bots finished assembling the armour and changed the boots and wings.

"Activation Protocol: Ritterstute." He growled out as the thin visor of the helm glowed a fierce red then he stood up.

"You need to be careful!" Weiss yelled at him.

"Why are you telling me to? It keeps me from being a criminal." He told her coldly as he dashed past all of the trees and went to assist Boone and Ross.

He jumped past them and started to slash into one of the Deathclaws. A howl resounded through the crescent moon sky as he started to tear into the beast. Boone and Six watched as the boy ripped through the monster. They didn't try to stop him. The look on his face before they saved him just showed him rage.

With a final swoop he crushed the Deathclaws' skull. Then he stood up and his helmet retracted. A look of serenity graced his face. That look quickly changed to a pained one as his leg buckled and he fell over. Ross quickly walked over and pulled out a syringe and injected the contents into his leg.

"What the hell is that?" Lothur asked as he felt his leg heal fully.

"It's called a Stim-Pack, powerful healing device." Ross answered with a smirk. "I'm going to be teaching the class how to make it next semester."

"Okay then, now. What was that thing!?" He yelled as he looked down at the Deathclaw.

"That is a Deathclaw from the wasteland, we got no clue on how they got here." Boone answered this time.

"What the fuck is that? I've never heard of a Grimm like that." He told them but before they could answer they heard Weiss scream.

Lothur dashed in that direction only to see what could be called a giant Deathclaw. He jumped up into a tree then used it as a springboard then jumped at it. With his claws extended he penetrated the flesh of the beast and grabbed ahold of something, but before he could tear whatever it was out he was knocked of. When he leaped up he felt a rush of adrenaline. His silver claws gleamed red as he rushed the beast down again and started to slash at it.

The world around him was muted and all he could feel and hear and see was the beast in front of him. He ripped into it and it slashed at him. Pieces of armour broke and his flesh bled red. This just increased his adrenaline and he got faster. With his final slash the beast buried a single claw in his shoulder but he didn't feel a thing as he pushed the beast down and let out a howl. The claw pulled out of his shoulder and his wound squirted out some blood. Lothur simply looked back at Weiss who was shocked. His armour was practically destroyed and he had wounds all over his body but he didn't seem to notice.

"So, am I a rapscallion? A crook? A scoundrel? Cause from how it looks and feels I am your knight in shining fucking armour." He told her as he offered her his hand.

"A-Are you alright?" She asked as she looked at all of his wounds then took his hand.

"This is nothing." He mumbled as he fell forward and into Weiss' arms, passing out from blood loss.

"Lothur!" She shouted as Ross waltzed over with Boone then stabbed a couple of Stim-Packs in him then his wounds started to heal.

"He'll live Ms. Schnee but I gotta feelin' you gotta get back to Beacon and to bed." Ross told them as he picked up a stick and held it out to everyone. "Let's get goin."

They appeared outside of the nurse's office since it ran all night. Boone opened the door for them and helped them get the boy in a bed. Then they took off the shredded armour pieces. After that they all left him with the doctor as he rested. Then Weiss returned to RWBY's dorm room with many things on her mind. Mostly what had happened that day. It was hectic to say the least but she knew after tomorrow when they find Blake she had to talk to Lothur.
