Ken : (Walks in the studio) Hello creato- wait...what are you two doing here?
Jason : Oh Common can't speak today, we decided to lock him in the sound booth since he gots the sore throat.
Crystal : So we decided to host today.
Ken : And who exactly gave you the power to do so?
Crystal/Jason : We did (Flashes a thumbs up)
Ken : Don't promote yourselves like that! It's ridiculous!
Crystal: Is not like it's gonna hurt.
Ken : No absolutely not, I'm hosting since I'm the main Oc and Common's seco- (Gets caught in a trap hanging on one leg)
Ken : Really think this is gonna hold me? If you guys have been reading the story lately then you guys would know that I can easily escape this tra- (Gets knocked out with Tootaxil dart)
Crystal : Yes I have been reading.
Jason : Yes it worked, how did you know that was gonna work sis?
Crystal : Did some research on the story and found out that around chapter two Ken mentions Tootaxil, a serum that can contain his grimm transformation. And the best part, it knocks him out.
Jason : Awesome, now we can definitely host today's author's section.
(Common bangs loudly on the window)
Crystal : Oh quit your yapping.
Jason : Hope MAO, doesn't read this.
Crystal : Too late for that little bro, besides if you want to avoid getting yelled at then how about we stay here instead after we're done. Ken mentioned before in the previous chapters that he pretty much lives here so what's the problem?
Jason : Nothing I guess, alright then. Tonight we stay here so we don't get yelled at.
Crystal : Right on. How about you do the disclaimer then.
Jason/Disclaimer: Okay, Common owns nothing and is angrily staring at me right now as I'm doing the disclaimer. He owns his Ocs and other stuff and blah blah bah.
Jason/Crystal : Enjoyyyyyy
(Weiss and Ruby walks in)
Weiss: What in the world happened here?!
Ruby : What happened to Ken?
Jason/Crystal: We're hosting tonight's author's section. (Flashes a thumbs up)
Weiss : Don't promote yourselves like that! It's ridiculous!
Crystal: May oh my deja vu.

(Insert, Guilty Crown Opening 2 : EGOIST - Everlasting Guilty Crown, Here)
Chapter 22 : To Mountain Glenn.
If there was one word Misty Wellheim could describe her current situation, it would be boredom. Squad 13 had been training with Chief David since this morning that it has gotten too easy and boring, they weren't tired since they had gotten use to this kind of training. But things haven't been entertaining for them since Ken was still hospitalized, today he was going to be discharged thanks to his arm fully healed but since he wasn't here the grey haired girl had gotten bored and worried. "Misty heads up!" Lars yelled.
Misty snaps from her trance and looks at her front, David quickly punches the air at Misty's direction which sends a powerful shockwave towards her. She puts her guard up to try and block the strong wind pressure but David's wave was too powerful and causes her to be send flying backwards, Lars quickly runs behind her and catches before she could hit the ground. All though the effects of David's attack was still in play, Martin and Sakura appears behind David and tries to go for a slash attack.
But again their weapons were unable to cut through David's skin being as hard as Titanium or even stronger, thanks to his gigantic muscles no one in years had been able to cut or even damage him. Not even Ken's Bon Fortuna nor his sharp claws, even when he's in his grimm transformation Ken was still unable to make a scratch on him.
It makes him even stronger when David uses his semblance which was Super Human Strength, this way it pretty much makes him indestructible and invincible. It was the main reason why Ken can't win against his father. All though David has thought about 'what would happen if Ken went into stage two of his grimm transformation? Would he be able to beat him or not?'
It was a question he was curious to find out, but he doubted that Ken could beat him even if he went stage two, three or even final stage. His bones were never able to penetrate through his skin, even if Ken's bones were much harder then an average person is. He was still able to break through it easily like it was plastic, he looks back at the grey haired guardian as he ceased the training cession. "Alright, I think that's enough for today. Misty's too distracted, if this goes on...teamwork won't work if one person isn't concentrating"
Lars annoyedly looks back at Misty as she lowered her head in disappointment, "What's going on with you, we have a mission later and you're too busy getting your head up in the clouds. Get it together Misty"
"I know you doofus, I just can't think straight right now" She answers while she held her head.
Martin goes to Misty's side as he offered her a hand up, "Maybe we should visit the captain, I bet it'll make you feel better."
Misty accepts his hand in offer and nods at his suggestion, "Hmmmm maybe, let's visit him"
Sakura goes behind Martin as he held her lips to his ear, "Suggesting to go to the captain? Are you falling for him Martin?"
Despite not being interested in men, Martin's cheeks still let out a slight pink shade and stuttered. "W-what? Of course not. Captain might need our company, it's only a suggestion"
Sakura backs away slightly from Martin's back as he turned towards her, she crosses her hands together while putting on a suspicion expression. "You're not seriously turning gay on me are you?" She said sounding very serious.
He let's out a small chuckle and goes to grab her hands, "Of course not, you're the only one for me Sakura"
Her expression turns back into it's joyous look and proceeds to kiss him in the lips, "Good, cause if you did. I would have dumped you on the spot, okay babe?"
"Ah-alright"
Misty and the other guardians start to march towards their destination as both Martin and Sakura followed holding each other's hand while Lars walked behind still holding his axe over his shoulders.
Wade and Rosa were busy having their own training cession at Beacon's combat class, Naomi observed from a far sitting on a bench. Rosa was in the air mocking Wade since he was unable to reach her, he annoyedly clenches his chokuto as he summed three more clones of himself. They position over each other like a ladder as he climbed up, at the very last clone he climbs up over, the clone grabs his shoulder while doing one quick spin and proceeds to throw him directly towards Rosa.
She doesn't react fast enough, instead panics waving her arm around while she was pushed back at the ground by Wade while he held Blazing Eclipse up towards her throat. "Checkmate" he said finishing the match.
"Tsk, it's not like I was going serious with you anyway" She annoyingly states.
Wade goes to try and offer her a hand up but she denies it getting up on her own, she deactivates her Violet Stinger as she walks back to sit next to Naomi. Wade responds by angrily expressing his annoyance in an anime kind of look, he later goes to look at Naomi who he calls out. "Alright Naomi, you're turn"
She was surprised to find that Wade had called him out, she wasn't exactly ready for this kind of thing but Wade looked serious. "W-W-What? I-I-I don't know if I can, It'd be better if I didn't." She suggested.
"Come on Naomi, teamwork is one of the important qualities of being a team. We haven't exactly gotten any training from Ken but we need to do this sooner or later, and what better time is that then now" Wade tells her.
"O-Okay" she reluctantly goes to the stage with her red spear already activated. "Alright, ready?"
"No" she shyly responds.
"Good, now start!" Wade goes for a quick slash towards Naomi's front but by instinct she blocks his attack with her spear, he goes proceeds to keep slashing her by every side but she blocks every strike but doesn't counter attack. Wade this time goes for a forward kick, but Naomi easily blocks this and goes to back away from him.
He goes to try and to dash towards her again, but he notices her expression being very worried. How could someone like her be worried? She clearly was keeping up with him without ease but her expression said otherwise, plus she wasn't doing any counter attacks so what gives? "You're gonna have to counter attack eventually Naomi, if not then I'll make you!"
Wade streams Blazing Eclipse with flames around it's blade and goes to swing harder at her, somehow she was still able to block each of his strike showing no sign of tiring or struggle. He steps it up a notch by summoning a clone of himself behind her and goes for a downward slash, he quickly turns around while side stepping to avoid his attack. Luckily she gets away from his strike but it left a small cut on her cheeks as blood rolled down the wound, she wasn't able to put her aura up in time. "Oh no" she whispered.
"Oh no indeed, you have to take this much more serious Naomi. Or els this team won't last long in a mission" Wade informs her.
"That's not what I mean"
"What do you mean?"
Moments later Naomi began to shake uncontrollably while she held her weapon against her, "Naomi are you oka-"
"No stay back" she warned him.
But it was too late, being in contact with blood now triggered her hidden personality. Her eyes had changed into bright yellow and her form had went from being that shy girl into a very very very sadistic kind of attitude, she looks up at Wade smiling sadistically while spinning her spear like a master. "Wasn't very nice hurting a poor helpless girl like that dipshit, now I'm gonna break every bone in your body. Oh don't worry sweaty, I'll play nice and easy with you."
"What. Is. Going. On?" Indeed that was something they did not expect, the shyness of Naomi had somehow faded into a very scary and sadistic girl. Ken had not told them about this, but he probably did have his reasons or probably was planning on telling them but didn't find the time to. Damn it Ken, always never finding the time for his teammates. "Holy crap dude, you're so screwed!" Rosa yelled across the stage.
(Insert, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Virtue And Vice, Here)
"How about you entertain me some more!" Naomi with her now bright yellow eyes began to rush towards Wade with such amazing speed, it was comparable with Ruby's or even Ken's. She waves her spear around for a moment and goes for a side slash at his shoulders which he blocks just in time, but due to her moment early waving her spear around she used it's momentum to make the swing much more powerful. The force of impact was so strong Wade's chokuto couldn't withstand the strength of her spear and began moving closer to his shoulder until it made contact, thankfully his aura was able to protect him when the tip of her spear had touched his shoulder but soon his aura began to weaken and later his shoulder was bleeding from it's sharp edge. "What? She was able to cut through my aura with only her strength? Just how strong is she?" Wade thought.
Wade quickly backs away to keep a distance between them, but Naomi would not let a single moment pass for her to obliterate him. So she quickly follows and goes for a strong trust attack, with quick thinking Wade summons his clone at his front to avoid her fatal attack.
The clone easily takes the strike through his abdomen as Naomi lifts the clone up towards the air while laughing sadistically, Wade didn't want to lie but...at this point he was scared to fight the once shy loving girl she knew. Even if he was a guardian and was use to life or death scenarios, Naomi was just something he had never fought before. If possible she might even be in a whole different league from him, but still he stood firmly. He wasn't gonna let anyone make a fool out of him, it didn't matter if she was once cute and adorable. No that wasn't the current her now, the current her was someone who was really out to kill him. And if he had any luck of beating her then the only option would be focusing on killing her, it was his only best method on beating her without having to kill her. From the way she fought, she would most likely even match Ken's skills in combat. She tosses Wade's clone at a side as blood run down her outfit. She enjoys the red liquid dripping down towards her but soon it began to disappears along with Wade's clone, much to her displeasure she spins her red spear once more and dashes towards with her laugh ringing across the arena. "Taste the end of my spear BITCH!"
"Shit if this goes on, I'll probably most likely taste the end of her spear" he thought, he summons two more of his clones at each side and switches his weapon into it's flame thrower. He quickly pulls the trigger wasting no time for her to move in for the kill, as the flames dances in ignition around her burning anything that stands in it's path. Naomi merely responds to this by spinning her spear in such a incredible speed, it block enough of the flames heat giving her a chance to escape the vortex made of fire.
Wade yells hurriedly at Rosa as she prepares herself to help her teammate, "Rosa, hurry and call for back up. If possible get Ken here, he might know a way to stop her!"
"What?! Are you absolutely sure? Seems like you're kinda having trouble handling her" She responds sounding very hesitant doubting Wade's skill of holding his own.
"I'll be fine just go"
"Bu-"
"I said GO!" He persists.
Rosa nods understanding the situation, she uses her semblance to fly towards Ken's recovery room. As much as she didn't like this idea, she still had no better options. Even if she did stay and fight along side Wade, they'd still probably lose. Naomi seemed too strong, Ken was the only person who could at least subdue her. What was the point on recruiting her anyway? What was his motive? Better yet, what was Naomi's motive for accepting so quickly?
"Alright, now where were we?" Wade attention cuts back to Naomi, his attention was so far off a moment ago he didn't notice her closing in on him. His reaction wasn't fast enough as she stares deeply into Wade's eyes, her yellow eyes shinning brighter as he losses his mobility and strength. "What's...what's going on?"
"..."
"I can't move?"
"Of course you can't"
"What?"
Suddenly the surroundings around Wade began to fade into nothingness as everything turns into nothing but a dark red colored deep abyss, he felt nothing, hear nothing, see nothing. That is until Naomi appears before him with her eyes being as bright as ever, her spear being resting on her shoulder and her smile being menacing as ever. "What's going on?" He asked.
"Where els, you mind dummy"
"What?"
"The world you see around you is your mind, sure is dark in here. Probably cause you're afraid"
"What is this sorcery?!" Wade asks abruptly while being unable to move on his knees.
"This is my semblance, I can enter people's minds and mess them up here. I can also see your past memories, and I can also control your mind but that takes a lot out of me"
"Telepathy" Wade mumbles.
"In a way yes, but better. So how about I start with this"
With a flick of Naomi's wrist, Wade was suddenly wrap by dark tentacles from below and was being dragged into the bottom slowly while being crushed by the slender limbs. "Le-let me go!"
"I don't think so, hahahahahahaha" she laughs hysterically.
"No...no...Nooooooo!" Wade continues to scream desperately as he sank deeper and deeper into the abyss while hearing nothing but Naomi's laugh, it was the last thing he heard whiles being covered in complete darkness and despair.
Meanwhile in real time, Naomi continued to stare at the helpless clone of Wade as the real one emerges out from the flaming vortex. There was a reason why he was a guardian and why he was hand picketed to be in squad 13, one of them was his quick thinking and strategic skills. As much as even David had to admit it but Wade was much more quicker when it came to thinking and better at strategies then Ken is. Why was he not picked to become the leader instead of Ken? He lacked leadership, he was a lousy leader. It was also one of the reason why Ken didn't pick him to be his lieutenant, if he were to be absent then Sakura would take over. He was a horrible leader but a wonderful follower, a trait Ken very much admire him for.
He would always obey every order given to him with no second thoughts, no matter how difficult or crazy it may be he always gets it done. A very useful trait but an obvious weakness, as much as he is his own person Wade still thinks all orders are absolute.
Back to the topic at hand, Wade quickly rushes towards Naomi's behind and goes for a side slash with flames igniting his blade. He was able to plan ahead of her anticipating that she would try to use his semblance on him when he lowers his guard, back when Naomi was consumed by flames and effortlessly escapes from the vortex. Wade had began his planning and jumped into the flames summoning an extra clone to make up the real one, the other two clones disappears as Naomi traps Wade's clone into her gaze. "Got her"
"Nice try" Naomi quickly sets her gaze behind her facing Wade as he closes his eyes, he cancels the strike and backs away quickly from her. "If I get caught into her semblance, then it's game over. Wonder how my clone is holding up against it?"
Moments later Wade's clone had began to lose his color and aura, soon his entire body had turned grey while left like a corpse laying in the ground helpless. It disappears momentarily, but the experience the clone had was passed onto the original. Wade's eyes went wide as he witness every single detail Naomi had done to his clone during one of her sick mind games, "Definitely have to avoid that, she just keeps on surprising me. Wonder what els she has under her sleeve?"
The aura that was drained from Wade's clone had transferred to Naomi, her hair changing color from its light blonde color into pure white shinning brightly. The aura she had received had made her stronger changing her appearance slightly, she looked so lustful feeling the power flowing deeply around her. She laughs again as she sets her head tilting at the side looking at Wade, "You're not gonna die on me yet after this are you? The fun hasn't even started yet!"
"I just had to say it, stupid brain!" Wade thought cursing himself repeatedly.
(End Epic Song)
In the hallway, Team RWBY were casually walking minding their own business besides Summer, Taiyang, Qrow and Raven. Their conversations were like any other, all though the group couldn't help but turn their attention towards an open door with someone inside the room sounding like they're making some sort of generator. Lot's of different sounds escaped the dorm, the group could not help but take a closer peek at what was making such a loud ruffling sound.
They surprisingly see none other then Ken Markes switched in his armored outfit instead of his combat outfit, his armor was exactly like Wade's but instead of being blue it was black. Of course a few adjustments were made like his mechanical boots instead of his sandels, Bon Fortuna being placed at the back of his armor in it's compacted form to be use only as his last resort, his rifle as well in it's compacted form set at his back, his weapons replaced by large wrist blades stick out at the top of his hands. His gloves being taser shocked and his left wrist having an extra feature, a grappling hook. His other arm also having an extra feature, a wrist flame thrower. His boots being able to stick at almost any surface but last only about ten minutes, of course he left many useful gadgets of his previous outfit like his arm guards with hidden steel wires underneath it, his throwing knives and smoke bombs. All though he can still most likely carry a smoke bomb amongst his plate holsters, in this outfit Ken didn't relay on his speed, hand to hand combat skills or his swordsmanship. In this outfit he relayed on equipments and weaponries, the armor was too bulky to move around fast and he couldn't do any fancy flips in it either. His swordsmanship might come in handy but he still was better off with guns, he put Phantom Eagle on it's holster around his waist while putting on his traditional guardian cloak.
"What's the occasion?"
Ken turns to the entrance to find team RWBY along with the other four adults, "Oh hello everyone, why are you all at my front door?" He asked.
Summer steps in the room as she grabs both Ken's shoulder, "The better question is where are you going? Why are you dresses like this?"
"Oh this is my armor, it's the outfit I'd prefer to wear during guardian missions"
"Guardian missions?" She asked puzzlingly.
"Today I'm heading towards Mountain Glenn to apprehend a terrorist group of white fang members keeping a few hostages during their attempt to escape, we wanted the Patriots to handle this matter but apparently they needed the guardians instead." Ken explains.
"Aren't you a student here? Who ever said a student could leave campus just like that just so they could fulfill a mission involving the military" Raven countered.
"I never said I'd give up my positions in the guardians, but yes I am a student here but also a captain of a squadron. So I need to be leaving soon in the next three hours, actually I better call the others saying I was discharged earlier."
"Ummm if you don't mind me asking, is your arm all better?" Ruby asks shy fully.
Instead of answering, Ken shots her a smile and takes off his left glove to show his hand. It showed to be completely healed except for his pinky, it still lacked skin and only showed the hypodermis layer of the finger. "Ugh disgusting, how could you show such a repulsive thing in front of us?" Weiss complains.
Ken sighs heavily and covers his hand back, "You have it too you know, it's just underneath the dermis layer."
"Da what? Ruby confusingly asks again.
Again Ken sighs, "The skin Ruby, above the dermis layer is the epidermis layer"
"Da what?"
"Nevermind" he didn't want to explain to the young fifteen year old anymore, finally he walks towards the entrance with the group stepping outside to let him pass. That is until he felt like he bump on someone, he sets his eyes up to look at the sudden appears of the stranger in front of him. To his surprise it was actually someone that was oh to familiar to him, "Master?"
"Yo, sup Ken"
The man was tall, his height was just the same as David's. His blonde hair being covered by his grey fedora, his outfit was described to be classy. He wore grey pants with black shoes, his black long sleeve shirt was tacked in his pants while wearing a grey tie. All though what stood out from his outfit was his long grey trench coat with the Royal Guardians symbol at it's back, his weapon being nowhere to he seen and his grin as stubborn and infamous to Ken as ever. "Master? Is this Ken's teacher?" Yang whispered to Blake.
"How should I know?" She responds.
"Sup Silver" Taiyang greets the man.
Ken's master named Silver turns to him and flashes his signature thumbs up at him, doing so made the others look at him with un amusement. "Who is he?" Summer whispery asks Taiyang.
Silver turns to look at her with determination and introduces himself to the group, "Glad you ask malady, I'm Silver Argentum. Second Chief of the Royal Guardians and master of the infamous Apex Predator"
"You mean Ken Markes" Raven corrected.
"I don't know, saying his given nickname sounds much cooler then his actual name" he replies shrugging his shoulders.
"Wait you're his master? You're the one that taught him how to wield his swords?" Weiss abruptly asks.
"Of course"
"Well then tell him to hold his blades properly, it ticks me off when he uses his weapon and switches the other one on a reverse hold" Weiss complains once more, at this point her complaints starts to get irritating and Ken having to feel such irritation chooses to hold his emotions and let it slide. "Actually young lady, that's how I taught him to hold his weapon. When we wield two weapons or two swords to be specific, we always put it in a reverse hold cause we use that stance to our advantage"
"Advantage how?" Blake turn to question.
"Well the technique I taught him was his spinning attack, we use the stance by-" Ken interrupts his explanation elbowing his master, wasting time like this was something he hated about his master. He tends to waste a lot of time, and I mean A LOT. "Enough with the rambling and tell me why you're here master"
"Ouch, hurts that my student doesn't appreciate my visit."
"Spill it already"
"Well I-" again their conversation was intercepted by Rosa rushing in flying inside the room, "There you are! I've been looking around for you! We've got a problem"
"Rosa? What's going on?" Ken asks.
"It's Naomi, she's gone completely berserk. It's like she's a whole different person, Wade's occupying her right now"
"Where?"
"At the training arena, we need to hurry"
Silver smiles excitingly as he grabs Ken's shoulders, "Looks like your friend needs help, let's get a move on"
"Wait do you even know where the arena is master?"
"Of course, I've been to school here before you know." In blink of an eye, Both Silver and Ken disappears from the group leaving them by team KRWN's room. "How did they?" Yang questions pointing at the spot where they previously stood.
Qrow leans in where Yang was and whispers loud enough for the team to hear, "His semblance is teleportation"
"Ohhhhhh"
During Rosa's escape to find help, Wade was able to hold his own against Naomi. But just like any other person or to be accurate, like any faunus. He was eventually getting tired and Naomi herself wasn't showing any signs of stopping or slowing down, if to be precise her strikes were actually becoming more harder and faster.
Wade's tactics were beginning to run out, he needed a quick way to at least separate her from her spear to finish her off or buy more time for reinforcements to arrive. The only injury he sustained was a cut on his cheek, it may be only a cut thanks to Wade's skill as a soldier avoiding her critical strikes but she still managed to worn him out. Guess this was still good training for him if he looked at it that way, it wasn't a complete chaos. "You're starting to bore me!"
Wade clenches Blazing Eclipse as he block her downwards strike, the force of her swing being as strong as ever. He sees her expression changing it's tone knowing very well what was to come next, he backs away using his clone to hold her off. Thankfully he was able to escape just in time while Wade's clone was being trapped once again by her mind control, "Unbelievable, if you seriously keep avoiding me like that instead of fighting then I'll serious kill you next" Naomi threatens Wade, her hair shinning brighter along with her eyes.
"Alright then" Wade finally gets serious as he took his stance holding his sheath and the hilt of his chokuto, Naomi grins excitingly at the faunus soldier as she spins her spear one last time before dashing towards him with fast foot work. She positions her spear in a trust strike as Wade waited for the moment to block, just as the tip of her spear reaches him Wade blocks her weapon pushing it by the side. His chokuto was slightly unsheathe with half of it blocking her spear, while Naomi continues to attack Wade's strategy went just as planned.
Thanks to her spear pushing against his chokuto, it was able to ignite it's flames from friction. Wade sheathes his chokuto as he waited for Naomi to be at close reach, when the moment of opportunity came he quickly unsheathes his blade delivering a powerful slash at Naomi across her body.
For a moment the two stayed still as Naomi held her spear while Wade held his blade, later he sheaths the chokuto back while sighing heavily thanking that the battle was over. "Sheesh, glad that's finally over."
"What's over?"
Wade eyes widened as he quickly turn back around while unsheathing his chokuto again, he looks at Naomi surprisingly still standing and the side of her clothing showing only a small cut. He couldn't believe it, his technique had no effect on her at all. "Just how strong is her aura? Wait...of course...she absorbed the aura of my clone from earlier, all this time I've been avoiding her but she's been killing my clones while extracting their aura. How could I forget such a thing?!"
"Now how about this!" With a snap of finger Naomi turns to face Wade while throwing her spear towards him, her spear came flying fast towards him that he didn't had time to react. He didn't even manage to blink after she turned around fast, thankfully Ken and Silver arrive just in time in front of Wade while the spear still continued to hurl towards them. Silver had already seen the attack coming and blocks the spear by catching it just in time saving the soldier, "Now what do we have here?" He tauntingly responds.
"How did he stop my spear?!"
"Let's return this weapon to it's rightful owner then" Silver switches the spin and points at Naomi, with pinpoint accuracy he throws the spear hurling towards her and lands right on her side getting her clothing caught by the weapon. With that Silver teleports Ken towards Naomi as she was pin down by her weapon unable to move, Ken quickly grabs her while transforming in his semi first stage grimm form. He sank his teeth at the side of her neck as he began to suck the blood of his teammate, it wasn't an immediate effect as Naomi tried her best to try and free herself from Ken's grip. He sucks faster as the whiteness of Naomi's hair began to fade back into it's light blonde color and her eyes returning back into it's bright blue eyes, her resistance was still present but slowly she was weakening.
At the side of the arena, Rosa had finally arrive just in time with team RWBY and the others to give some support. But what they witness was an awkward scene of Ken's Markes sucking on Naomi's neck whiles she couldn't help but let out some groans and moans, pretty much all the girls except Raven was blushing as red as a tomato. Qrow and Taiyang were rather chuckling at the scene, even Summer was blushing at the sight of her dear friend Ken doing such a embarrassing action. After a moment passes, Ken finally releases his teeth from Naomi's neck with his eyes now being grimm like while turning to look at the others. "What? It was the only I could calm her down"
And he was right, Naomi was left unconscious from her extraction of blood. Ken didn't suck too much of her blood but enough for her to return to her shy and cute personality, she lifts her up to his arms as he passes Naomi to Wade. "Take her back to the dorm, but before you do that. What exactly happened here?"
"Well I was training with Naomi until I manage to cut her on the cheek, somehow it triggered something and she went berserk. Never thought she was that strong, her skill was monstrous" Wade explain.
"Of course it is, I'm sorry I didn't explain it to you guys earlier. You see she has multiple personality disorder, it triggers only when she sees blood or if she gets injured. If this happens, her skill in this state is much greater then yours or mine. Not to manage she becomes more dangerous with her skill of extracting aura from others to avoid tiredness and her semblance, I believe you've witness these traits already. correct?"
Wade nods as he held Naomi into his arms feeling somewhat scared of the sleeping huntress, "Rosa make sure she gets enough rest, Wade won't be able to keep an eye on her since we've got a mission today" Ken orders.
Steam escaped out from Rosa's head as she felt pissed and irritated at her team leader for not telling them about Naomi sooner, worst scenarios could have accord if he wasn't informed about this. "You idiot! How could you not tell us about this, you've seriously been slacking a lot as our team leader these days you know"
Ken response with a chuckle and him rubbing the back of his head awkwardly, "Hehehe, I know I'm sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you all, but for now please take care of Naomi for me please"
"Tsk, fine" Wade starts to march towards their dorm holding Naomi while Rosa follows while still floating in the air, Ken changes his eyes back to it's normal state as he walked back to the others. "That's kinda gross you know, sucking on people's blood. What are you? A vampire?" Yang comments.
Qrow explains Ken's grimm nature so that they wouldn't get the wrong idea about him the next time, "Yang, remember that Ken's a Hybrid. He needs blood or flesh to satisfy his hunger every mouth, him sucking on his teammate's blood like that is like apple juice to him. Am I right?"
"Surprisingly you're right, it does taste like apple juice. But at times it does taste like grape juice, I'm not even sure anymore. Maybe it's the different taste of people" Ken replies.
"So you eat people?" Weiss questions trying to see if she could understand this.
"In short...yup"
"How repulsive"
"Don't you eat normal food instead?" Ruby asks.
"I do but, it's not enough to fill my needs for some reason."
"What happens if you don't eat people?" Blake turn to ask.
"..."
Ken didn't respond, he knew what would happen it he didn't eat people every mouth. The result was always unbearable for him, the others as well know it too well. Raven leans in close to Blake as she whispered, "He goes berserk like a grimm"
"Oh"
"Let's not stand around here wasting time, let's go" Ken tells them.
Sun was about to set, the campus of Beacon had little students strolling. The Black Hawk stood ready for take off as squad 13 was about to head towards Mountain Glenn, Ken was the last one standing with Summer, Taiyang, David, Ruby, Yang and Blake bidding their farewell.
It wasn't a dangerous mission for them but to the students of Beacon it very much was, they couldn't blame them. They were trained for missions like these, this wasn't even their most dangerous one. "Remember Ken, they have hostages. Your first priority of this mission is to save them, the dust and the terrorist are the least of your concern."
"Yes father" in the midst of their conversation, Silver teleports next to David interrupting their discussion. "And don't be reckless, you always seem to be the reckless type Ken"
"Wha? When did you-"
Silver lightly shoves him as he set his arm on David's shoulder, "We've got some business to discuss, it's be best if you take a look at it for yourself"
"I'll be on my way dad, I'll try to keep what you told me in mind." As Ken was ready to move on his way, Blake had stepped forward calling out to him. "Ken wait, I need to tell you something"
He stops his tracks as he turns to Blake, Yang and Ruby we're practically blushing of her plead. Summer was quite astonished at her bold statement assuming that she would have make a move on him right here at the landing front of Beacon in front of THEM.
"Ohhhhhh" Taiyang and Qrow cheers quietly.
"What is it Blake?"
"Don't tell me she gonna do what I think she's gonna do" Ruby thought
"Don't you dare Blake" Yang thought.
"Ummmm, ahhhhh" Blake couldn't exactly put it in words as her face was lightning up in red, Ken tilted his head to the side confused to what was troubling her...oh Ken. "Blake is everything okay?"
"Just come back, okay? You're dealing with the white fang, and it might be dangerous since they don't always separate from groups. They're always together, you're most likely going to meet a large group of them so-"
Ken interrupts as he places his hand on her head patting and raffling gently, "I'll come back, don't worry about it. I'm sure even students or even you guys can handle missions like this, so no worries."
"That's a promise, okay?"
"Sure it's a promise"
Blake sighs in relief as she looked down on her feet, embarrassed on what she was about to do next. "Then here's for good luck"
"What's for good luc-"
Ken was cut off as Blake pressed her lips against his cheeks feeling the soldier's warmth against her own, she backs away immediately not meeting his eyes. Ken was rather surprised of her bold move she had done, but it wasn't too shocking for him since he can thank Yang for that. He gently strokes her head as he thanked her for the token of her gratitude, "Thanks I was gonna need good luck, thanks for that"
"~Nyan~" Blake couldn't help but let out a strange noise she had done, the gentle stroke Ken was doing was too good for her to hold in. Her cat ears wiggling and dancing as he continued to stroke her hair, they stood still for a moment at times and then they would dance around again.
"Nyan?" Ruby and Yang questioned in unison.
"I'll be going now, I'll see you all in a few days" Ken bids his farewell walking towards the Black Hawk, much to Blake's disappointment of him stopping his gentle strokes. She was more sad for his absent since his mission would take time to complete, "What am I talking about? We're just friends, I feel nothing for him" Blake thought.
But the thought of him leaving somehow felt heavy deep inside Blake, she didn't want to admit it but she very much did felt something for the young soldier and her actions agreed with her denied feelings. "See ya!" Yang, Ruby and Summer said.
Ken finally takes his seat inside the flying vehicle next to Misty as the doors closed on take off, everyone as well was wearing the exact same armor as him and Wade only the girls Misty and Sakura being red instead. The aircraft took to the air as Sig immediately went full speed towards Mountain Glenn, the gust of wind was all that's left as the others watch the Black Hawk disappear in the distance. "Now onto business." Just like that David and Silver teleported away from the others to discuss their own matters.
Taiyang and Qrow began walking back towards Beacon while team RBY since Weiss was absent and Summer continued to gaze at the distance wishing the soldiers luck for their mission, "Seems like someone tried to go for Ken's first kiss" Summer teases Blake.
She shines bright red once again not wanting to look at everyone for her earlier action, "Doesn't matter cause I already stole his first kiss" Yang tells them with pride.
"Wait you already kiss Ken?" Summer asks curiously.
"Aha, it was a thank you kiss to be specific"
"Hmmm pretty good Yang" Summer praises her.
Ruby pouts quietly as she was mad at Yang for stealing her opportunity for Ken's kiss, she may be like a sister in his eyes but soon she plans to change his mind and make him see how she sees him in her eyes. Blake even felt jealousy as Yang told Summer about the details of their little thank you kiss, that's when Ruby got the idea. "Actually Yang...no you're not his first, am I" she says proudly
"Sis you're clearly not his first, Am I. When did you even get the chance?"
"When he saved me at the pool" she reminds her.
"What do you mea- ohhhhh wait, he was doing CPR that doesn't count"
"Does too"
"Does not"
"Does too"
"Does not"
"Does too"
"Does not"
"What if I was awake the whole time when he pressed his lips on me"
"You weren't, you were unconscious the whole time. Heck you were coughing when you woke up"
"What if I was acting"
"Was not"
"Was too"
"Was not"
"Was too"
"Was not"
"Was too"
"Was not"
"Arrrrrrrrgggggghhhh" they growled in unison pressing their face together.
"Girls behave" Summer tells them.
Blake shakes his head chuckling at the scene while she sets her gaze back at where the Black Hawk flew, "I hope nothing happens to them, Ken can't underestimate the white fang. They're stronger then he think, I just hope nothing bad happens to him"
Meanwhile at the hide out of the White Fang, the leader was currently covered in blood whiles a man with grimm eyes holds him up by the neck while questioning him. "Sorry but apparently you didn't meet my expectations, relaying on you was a mistake I will not make again."
"I don't need...your power in the first place...anyway...the faunus will take over this world...my precious members will make sure...of it." The leader says with his last breath.
"No you're wrong, the Hybrids will take over this cursed world. And soon all will obey us, the faunus will be killed if all I care"
"Ha...ha...ha"
"Tsk, Fifteen!"
Without being noticed Fifteen appears himself from the leader of the white fang and draws his chokuto out from his sheathe, "Sorry old man, you pissed off Seventeen. Now you're dead"
Like that Fifteen swings his chokuto at the leader's neck as he falls to the ground lifeless while blood drips down from him, Cinder, Mercury and Emerald were being held in a corner as Fifteen walked towards them. "Seventeen, what about them?"
Seventeen turns to look at the three and ignores them feeling that they would be useless to him, "Do as you wish with them, kill them, rape them, let them live. I don't care, just make it quick"
"Alright" Seventeen leaves the building as Fifteen looks at the three very hungrily, wanting to eat the three of them up in one go. "How should we start?" He asks.
"Don't underestimate me you swine" Cinder says.
"Oh really?"
Cinder merely grins as Fifteen's ground began to heat up until it exploded from underneath him, Cinder and the other two had manage to free themselves from their binds and jumps through a window. During their escape, Seventeen witnesses the three running away until Fifteen comes out looking very pissed as ever. "Let them go, you've wasted enough time already"
"Tsk fine" he responds.
Cinder, Mercury and Emerald had no other choice but to keep running as they try to escape the clutches of the Hybrids, "Did we get away from them?" Emerald asked.
"Don't know but just keep moving" Mercury tells her.
"This is unbelievable" Cinder comments.
"You're right, can't believe they would kill the big boss just like that" Mercury says still trying to process of the Hybrids killing the white fang leader.
"Well then what do we do now?" Emerald asks again.
"We keep moving, first we find shelter then we'll figure it out from there" Cinder informs them.
"Right" they said in unison.
"I can't believe this is actually happening, the Hybrids are ruining my plans. I might actually need the help of the Apex Predator but I could wait this out until both sides kill each other off, either way I'm not abandoning my quest for power. These Hybrids will pay dearly for their annoyance, let see what comes next then" Cinder thought.
