Four hearts of one Journey

Ch. 14: The jungle and the ape man Pt.2

"I have to say Neo that you really do love reading, like a lot." Celestia said as she and Neo were in the library currently, Neo having read already sixteen fifty-chapter fairy tale books. If Celestia had to be honest, she believed that Neo could give Twilight a run for her money when it came to reading

"Well yeah I do, I mean I've never been able to speak so this is really the only thing that kept me entertained when I was younger… though I also liked reading since it put me in a world away from my actual world." Neo replied with a slight smile, then frowned a little from a few sudden bad memories when she was younger

"Yes your world, I have to admit I still find it hard to believe that your world is the way it is. With those Grimm things trying to bring humanity to extinction, along with the use of young men and women trained to fight said monsters. Just seems horrid to me is all, no offence of course Neo." Celestia stated with a serious tone as she found Neo's home world to be a horrid and somewhat a shameful place. The horrid part because of the Grimm's, just the descriptions reminded Celestia of past dark forces she and her sister had faced before Equestria's founding. Despite the thousand years of peace Equestira has had, those old blood stained and dark memories haunted her as if they had only happened a day ago. The shameful part of Neo's world was the ideology of the huntresses and hunters, when Celestia had first been told this she actually felt like throwing up a little. She thought the idea of using their youths to train to fight Grimm was appealing, sure her royal guards were trained at a young age. But she never expected any of them to die possibly, even with their training. To Celestia, she saw huntresses and hunters as an early death sentence

"No offence taken, I mean I'm not a fan of huntresses and hunters either. Never was my cup of tea you could say, along with the fact I'd rather like to live till I'm old lady then have the possibility to be eaten alive by Grimm's." Neo responded back as Celestia winced at the thought of that happeing to her. Neo realized she could sense Celestia doing this and felt bad for putting the possible idea into her head "Sorry Celestia, didn't mean to make you worry. That's never going to happen to me, that's a promise."

"I know and I believe you, but don't be surprised if I start fretting about you Neo. We are friends and like I've said before, that we haven't known each other for long. I do already care for you deeply, I truly do." Celestia said kindly as Neo smiled widely

"Thanks Celestia…I… I care about you a lot too, you're a great friend. Actually, to be honest other than Roman you're probably the only other real friend I have." Neo replied, but the friendly moment was cut short as Mumm Rah, Makuta and Prozen came into the library

"And as I've said Makuta, the darkness within this place is more of a pure darkness. Not your so called primal darkness." Mumm Rah stated with a stern tone as it seemed he and Makuta were having a disagreement, Prozen meanwhile seemed to have a smug look on his face. Much to Mumma Ra's and Makuta's annoyance as they looked to him now

"Wipe that smug grin off your face, your suggestion for the darkness here is the most ludicrous of them all!" Mumm Rah stated with an angered tone as Prozen just shrugged with a smirk

"Why Mumm Rah I only suggested that the darkness in this places is actually a holy kind. But that's all I was saying, to be honest it could be none of our guesses; but something else completely. I say we'll find an answer in here, the library." Prozen explained as he, Makuta and Mumm Rah then looked to see Neo "Well look here, we have another scholar in our presence."

"Indeed, though her pick of literature is childish to say the least." Mumm Rah stated as he picked up one of the books, then scowled a little as he looked through it. Then Mumm Rah dropped it, as Neo caught it quickly and looked over to see if it was damaged

"Yes and believe this is the silent one of the our recently new members." Makuta said as he glared at Neo, who was trying her best not to be intimidated

"Neo are you alright?" Celestia asked with a worried tone as she could tell that these three were trying to get to her, with insults "If it make you feel better, I'll be here for mental support if their insults get out of hand."

"Thank you Celestia, thank you. These three seem to want to pick on me for some reason. I can't let them get to me though." Neo replied back as she kept a glare at her three new associates

"I do believe you are right Makuta, though I really do want to know what a girl your age is doing reading corny fairy tale books?" Prozen asked with a smirk as Neo scowled a little at him for insulting her favorite genre of books "Oh, are you getting mad. Why, because I'm insulting this garbage you call literature?"

"That's it, I am going to gut him!" Neo screamed in her head as she then remembered she left her parasol back in her room "Ugh, why now of all times. You know what I'll use my teeth and hands instead!"

"Neo I can see that your angry, honestly I'd like to see you hurt this smug fool and his two goons. But what would that achieve if you did, you'd just be as bad as they are." Celestia responded with stern, but also caring tone

"But I am already like them, so what difference would it make?" Neo asked with an aggravated tone, as she really just wanted to hurt these three bad as she clenched her fist, getting the attention of the others

"Well look here, she wants to fight." Mumma Rah stated with a devilish smirk as Prozen laughed, making Neo clench her fists harder

"Neo listen it will make all the difference, I know you want to change and I know deep down inside you are a good girl. A kind, very loving girl so please believe me when I say that this can be your first chance in changing. You don't have to do what they expect you to do, you can be a better person my friend." Celestia explained as Neo became conflicted, she clenched her fists harder as she kept on glaring straight at Prozen, Makuta and Mumm Rah. She wanted to hurt these three so badly, but for some reason Celestia's words got to her. A few more moments of tense silence passed before Neo sighed, then unclenched her fists

"Y...Your right Celestia, thank you." Neo kindly said as Celestia smiled back, but the moment was halted as Prozen and Mumm Rah began laughing loudly

"Oh that is rich!" Prozen yelled out as he was the first to catch his breath, then suddenly knocked over some of the books Neo had onto the ground. Making Neo go a little wide eyed as she was worried the books would be damaged now, but before she could do anything Makuta pass by the other two. Then with his left hand knocked Neo to the ground hard

"Neo are okay?!" Celestia asked in sudden fear as Neo rubbed her head

"I'm fine, really I am-" Neo began to reply back, but was cut off as Makuta grabbed Neo around the neck and began slowly choking her

"Look at you, so young and full of life. Let's see how long it takes for that life to be snuffed out brat." Makuta stated with a curled smirk as Mumm Rah and Prozen watched in sick curiosity

"Neo hold on, I'll see if I can do something. I have to be able to other than just being a voice in your head!" Celestia said with a tone of fear as she was trying to see if she could somehow use her magic through Neo's body, but to no avail as Celestia couldn't seem to access her magic at all "I can't do anything, I'm useless!"

"No y-you aren't, y-y-ou became a new friend for me to have…thank you…thank you so much… for that…" Neo replied back as she began to black out, while she could still hear Celestia screams for her to stay awake. But as she was close to darkness, suddenly the grip Makuta had over her throat was released along with sound of Makuta screaming in sudden pain

"Neo, please tell your still alive please!" Celestia screamed out, startling Neo back up from her close death

"Yeah…Yeah I am, but who saved me?" Neo asked as she rubbed her throat and pulled herself back to her feet

"I'm so glad you safe and I think you'll be surprised who saved you." Celestia said as Neo looked to see Loghain with his sword out, along with blackish blood or oil on his blade. Which meant he was the one to save her and that assumption was fortified as Makuta was holding the arm he used to choke her. Much to Neo's and Celestia's pleasure that it seemed Makuta's arm had received a deep cut

"Serves him right." Neo happily said as Celestia could help but agree, though they listen in on the conversation between Loghain and the others here

"What are you doing, this was a great chance to get rid of the brat. Then we'd move onto the rest." Prozen asked in irritation, but instead got a blade pointed right at his throat in a quick manner

"Even so, I don't care much for men and…a thing that would harm a young lady." Loghain replied back as he sheathed his blade back in its hilt "Now I suggest you leave, besides Makuta may need help fixing his arm."

"You son of a-" Makuta was about to say, but was interrupted as Mumm Rah quickly tapped his shoulder with enough force for him to take the hint to shut up right now

"Makuta meant we'll be going, but don't think this will be forgotten Loghain." Mumm Rah said with a calm tone, that had a underlying hostility as well. With that he, Prozen and a wounded Makuta made their way out. Once the door closed behind them, Loghain let out an annoyed scowl

"Dirty apostate." Loghain stated as he turned his attention back to Neo and surprisingly smiled a little "Are you alright young lady?"

"Um…I guess I should answer him." Neo thought to herself as she just nodded to Loghain who smirked

"Right, you a mute. Well either way I'm glad you're alright." Loghain said as he picked up the dropped books from the ground and placed them back on the table. Then he looked at her once more "There we go and no worries the books are fine."

"This man is a strange one, I sense blood on him but also…well something else." Celestia remarked as Neo had to agree with her on that "Anyways I think you should thank this man. I mean he is being gentlecolt or I mean gentleman."

"Right, sorry I'm just surprised by this." Neo responded as she gave Loghain a bow, which Loghain raised an eyebrow at for a moment before realizing that she was saying thank you. So with that Loghain bowed back, then both straighten back up as they smiled at each

"Well I should be going, it was nice meeting you young lady." Loghain said as he made his way out and as the doors closed behind, Neo yet again was left all alone company wise other than Celestia

"Again, a strange man. But kind as well, Neo I don't want to sound like a mother hen. But are you sure you're okay?" Celestia kindly asked as Neo nodded happily

"I'm okay, but I appreciate the concern. Really I don't mind at all, but I still need to get some more reading done." Neo happily stated as Celestia chuckled that Neo still wanted to read, even after almost being killed. But as Neo was making her way back to the table, suddenly a jolt went through her back as she tripped. Though thankfully caught herself mid fall and straighten herself out "What just happened to me?"

"You felt it to then, that was my magic. You must have felt it like I did since we're in the same body at the moment. I do apologize for that, Alicorn magic is very strong. But if I can feel my magic, it must mean we're close to my body." Celestia explained as she was starting to feel happier to know her body was close, Neo felt the same way as she was glad her newest friends body could be recovered

"That's good to hear Celestia, but do you want to look for it now or wait. It's your body and I'll help you either way." Neo asked

"Though getting my body now would be nice, I believe that we should wait." Celestia answered as Neo was surprised she picked to wait, which Celestia took notice off "I understand your confusion, but I think the reason we should wait is so that we can find a way to escape."

"We?" Neo asked as she wondered if Celestia was begin serious right now

"Yes we, Neo I know that you want to leave this place and I know if we asked Roman or well you do. Then he'd come along, but please trust me when I say I know you really do want to leave here." Celestia explained as Neo sighed shyly

"I guess I do, but where would we go. Me, you and Roman?" Neo asked as she was worried about their next location

"I'm sure we'll find somewhere else to stay. But well do it as friends, besides it would give me a good time to get to know your first friend Roman." Celestia replied with a joyful tone as Neo smiled widely

"Sounds like a plan to me, alright we'll wait and when the time come after we find an escape route. Then we'll get your body and book along with Roman with us to wherever else we go." Neo stated proudly as she sat back down and began reading, though stopped for just a moment "Thanks Celestia…thank you truly."

"No problem Neo, it's what friends are for." Celestia said as she then stayed quiet, to give Neo this time to read peacefully within the fairy tales she loved to read

-With team RWBY-

"I have to say Jane this camp site of yours is quiet nice." Weiss kindly said as she, Ruby, Blake and Yang sat on four boxes with Jane while sipping tea. Though the girls had to admit it was a bit too bitter, even Weiss who had forced herself to get use to drinking these sorts of drinks since she was a little girl

"Yep very nice, though I will say I'm not exactly the fan of the tea. No offence Jane." Yang said next as she was trying her best not to throw up from each sip of the tea –"Now I really wish I had a soda right now."-

"None taken, if I'm going to be honest I don't care for this tea either. But we have water in small supply so we have to the drink tea as a substitute until we need some water to drink." Jane replied with a sheepish smile as the girls laughed a little at that

"We also should thank you and your father for taking in Jaune. He's a good friend of ours and we'd been looking for him along with three other friends until we crashed." Blake stated as she, Ruby Weiss and Yang we sticking with their cover story

"Totally and thank you for letting us come as well. We really appreciate your kindness that you've given us!" Ruby joyfully said as she took another sip of tea and grimaced a bit from the taste, thankfully Jane had brought out a plate of tea cookies. Which to Ruby didn't taste as good a chocolate chip cookies, but still were pretty good and made up for the bitter tea she was tasting

"Oh your welcome, like I said earlier. Jaune has been such a gentleman with us and you four I can already tell are such kind hearted girls." Jane responded back with a wide smile as team RWBY smiled back, then they took a sip of tea once more. Then grimace once again from the bitter taste, though they all took a tea cookie this time which coated the bitter taste with a sweet taste

"Anyways, I'm curious but what got you into exploring jungles with your father anyways?" Yang asked as Jane giggled a little in nostalgic joy

"Because of my love for animals, ever since I was a little girl to be honest. I even remember the day that got me interested with animals in the first place. It all started at a circus my father took me to, he was going to have a stern talking to the owners at how unethical it was to keep animals in captivity and to be used for entertainment purposes. He told me to stay by the circus tent once we got there, then he went inside the tent. But me being a young girl got bored easily and decided to look around the tent. That's when I saw it or rather her. It was a large female elephant that was in a cage and laying down on its stomach. I was curious so I walked up to her and tried petting her. I was too short though at my age around that time, though to my surprise I will suddenly lifted by the elephants trunk and brought closer to her where I petted her head. Just when I did that I got a glimpse into her eyes, they were a lovely shade of amber and to my amazement showed intelligence within them. After that I was put back down and patted on the head by the Elephants trunk, that's when my dad found me and ran up. He saw the elephant and petted her just like I had, I even remember him saying "Such a marvelous creature, isn't she Jane?"; I full heartily agreed with him. So from then on I made it my life's goal to studying animals, which I have study most of with my the help of my father from the safety of a Zoo. Daddy did care for Zoo's much, but we didn't have the money to make constant trips to study animals in the wild. Anyways Gorillas are the current animals we're studying, they're such interesting creatures." Jane happily explained

"Wow, thanks for telling us." Yang responded back as this was an insightful explanation for one of their new friends in this world

"Yeah it gave a good idea on your views, still what's with that Clayton dude. He's kind of…" Blake asked, but she couldn't think of a nice word acceptable enough to describe clayton

"Shady?" Yang suggested as her girlfriend smiled widely at the kind suggestion

"Yes, he seems shady. Thank you hun." Blake stated as she and Yang gave each other a quick kiss on the lips, making Jane sip out her tea a little "Um, you okay Jane?"

"What oh ah yeah, I ah…just didn't think you were ah…." Jane responded back, but couldn't find the words to say what she was wanting to say. But that mostly from shameful embarrassment from having such a reaction in the first place

"Lesbians?" Weiss suggested as Jane nodded "Well I guess I can see why you may be surprised, I mean me and Ruby are a couple as well just to say. Just like Yang and Blake are a couple."

"Yep and I couldn't be any happier about it." Ruby said with a wide grin as she gave Weiss a kiss on the lips, which Weiss giggled joyfully at and kissed Ruby back with the equal amount of love, making Jane eyes widen a little more

"Wow ah so your all…lesbians. Not that I'm judging, I'd like to say give people a chance based on their personalities rather than their beliefs and what not." Jane stated with a calmer tone as team RWBY smile at that

"I have to say that's a very enlighten attitude to have, it's nice to know people can still have that mind set and stick to it." Weiss stated as Jane nodded in agreement

"Well daddy usually says that we're more of an enlighten family. Ahead of the times as he stated." Jane explained as she took another sip of tea

"Good to know we we're saved by kind hearted and tolerable people." Ruby responded kindly as she then frowned a little "Still we'd like to know still about that Clayton guy, he really gives off a shady vibe."

"Clayton yes, he's a hired body guard for us. I mean as much as me and my father love animals, we do know that they can be still a danger to our life's. So that's why we hired clayton. Still I'm worried he'll shoot one of the gorillas, he just doesn't give me a safe feeling." Jane explained with a worried frown

"We have to agree with you, what about Huang. What do you think of him?" Blake asked

"Huang is a…blunt one, but he's nice enough and unlike Clayton I feel actually safe when I'm around him." Jane said with a small smile

"Interesting assessment, either way Jane do you mind if me and the girl go walking out for a bit?" Weiss asked as she, Ruby, Blake and Yang had decided before they got to the camp; that they would try to get back into the jungle to see if they could see how the gorillas, their friend and Tarzan were doing. Along with seeing if they could find a clue of where the keyhole in this world was

"Sure I guess that would be fine, just stay safe alright. Now if you don't mind I need to rest of just for a little while." Jane said as she made her way into her tent

"That was a nice conversation to have, but what should we start with. Going to gorillas or finding the keyholes location?" Weiss asked as the girls thought it over for a few moments, until Blake snapped her fingers

"How about we look around for the keyhole for just a while. Then to the gorillas, sound good?" Blake suggested as Ruby, Weiss and Yang nodded in agreement

"The lets us be off team RWBY!" Ruby happily yelled out as she began running toward the jungle, but bumped into something which pushed her to the ground hard "Ow… that hurt."

"Ruby are you alright?" Weiss asked in a slight panic for her girlfriend as she, Blake and Yang ran up to her. Weiss then quickly helped Ruby up as she rubbed her head

"Yeah I am, but what did I just bump into snow flake?" Ruby asked as Weiss blushed joyfully from the cute nickname Ruby just called her, though the moment was ruined quickly

"Not what, but who young lady." Clayton said with a forced grin "Where are you ladies going to anyways?"

"To the jungle my good sir." Weiss replied back with a passive aggressive tone

"My how… kind you are. Though if you're going to the jungle, may I suggested you bring extra backup." Clayton suggested, but continued on "I suggest you bring the boy with you, he's needs to keep himself busy."

"You mean Jaune, because if so then we got no problem with it…sir." Blake stated as she and the girl narrowed their eyes at him, though it seemed Clayton hadn't taken notice or just didn't care

"Excellent, boy get out here!" Clayton screamed out as he along with the girls heard an irritated groan

"I'm coming, no need to yell dude!" Jaune yelled out as he came out of his tent stretching his arms out and yawned for a moment, before then looking to see Clayton and the girls. Though he was already resisting the urge to scowl at team RWBY and forced himself to smile "Oh hey girls, what's up?"

"Clayton here suggested you accompanied us while we venture a little into the jungle." Ruby answered with a kind smile "Would you be good with that, it'd give us time to catch up with each other. Me and the girls have been worried about you; and the rest since we started this journey."

"I think it's a good idea, I'll follow and you ladies lead." Jaune responded back with a smile that made him cringe at himself, along with hating himself for having to pretended to be so nice to these four when his hatred for them was deep

"Alright then follow us Jaune old buddy!" Ruby happily responded back as she and the girls made their way into the jungle with Jaune following in behind, though he was stopped for a moment by Clayton

"Remember boy, just observes these four. Nothing else is that understood?" Clayton asked with stern tone as Jaune sighed in slight annoyance

"Yes sir, I understand." Jaune responded back as he made his way to catch up with the girls, meanwhile Clayton just smiled with an evil grin as he made his way back into his tent. Knowing if he succeeded in his plans, then those four brats would be dead soon enough

-Meanwhile back in Traverse town, Fifth district-

"Come on just open up you stupid barrier!" Twilight yelled out as she, Solider 76, Bastion, Angela, Hana, Yuffie, Leon, Applejack, excluding Robbie and Glynda all had been taking turns with trying to break through the barrier with no luck at all. Twilight, Rarity and Applejack currently were up. As both Rarity and Twilight tried using their most advanced counter-spells on the barrier. Meanwhile Applejack tried to buck the barrier down at the same time

"Ladies I think you should stop, your exhausting yourself out." Angela kindly suggested as she along with Hana and the rest worried that their pony friends were trying too hard at the moment

"We can't Angela, if we don't then our friends could be good as dead as much as I hate to say it!" Applejack replied as she did one last kick against the barrier, but suddenly fell down as she screamed in pain

"APPLEJACK!" Twilight and Rarity yelled out in horror as they indirectly shot off a counter spell from their horns at the barrier, which bounced off and thankfully didn't hit anyone. Meanwhile Twilight , Rarity fell over next to Applejack

"Bee, voop, vroo. Vroop!" Bastion asked as he, Angela and Leon knelt down next to them

"Yeah…we're…we're fine. Just in pain, lots of pain." Twilight answered "I used to much magic and it strained my horn."

"Same darlings…" Rarity stated

"And I went overboard with my bucking. My hind legs aren't going to be useful for a while." Applejack said as she winced from the sudden increase in pain

"You three stay down then and rest up." Glynda sternly, but also kindly stated as the ponies just nodded while Angela used her staff to see if she could lessen the pain for them. Glynda then looked over to Maria and the others "Any other ideas?"

"I don't have anything myself Glynda, sorry about that." Yuffie responded as Glynda patted her on the shoulder

"It's fine, don't put yourself down alright?" Glynda responded back as Yuffie smiled a little at the kind words

"I still say you should let me use my rockets again, I'm made a dent before." Solider 76 suggested

"Yeah but you almost blasted us to kingdom come last time." Robbie stated with a slight glare as he dusted off his jacket "Almost burnt my jacket too just to say."

"Well can't you do something about this then Robbie?" Hana asked "You know go all Ghost Rider on that barrier?"

"I can't, sorry but ever since I came to this place my powers have been behaving differently than usual. Then again me transforming has always been up to the other me you could say." Robbie explained as Hana sighed, then she looked to Maria

"What about you Maria, can you try anything maybe?" Hana asked as Maria nodded no

"I'm sorry but I can't, I only can help the hunters empower themselves with the blood they collect from enemies. Nothing more." Maria answered as suddenly a blood curtailing roar echoed "It seems the battle is tensing up."

"You're telling us." Glynda said in a panic as she and the rest, along with the Ponies who were limping made their way up to the barrier. They wanted to see how the Yahrmanites were doing in their battle with the crazed Father Gascoigne. Meanwhile the battle for Vladimir, Eileen and Alfred was difficult. Especially for Vladimir who was the one who killed the man by himself

"Damn!" Alfred said he dodged another swipe from Father Gascoigne axe, which made a small crack in the ground "I heard stories of this man's strength from some of the others in the church. But I never knew how accurate they were."

"DIE BEAST!" Father Gascoigne roared as he slammed his blade down at Alfred who was able to get Logarius Wheel up quick enough to block the blow. Though once the weapons made contact, it was evident that Father Gascoigne was the stronger one as he was slowly pushing Alfred down

"Way…too… accurate." Alfred muttered in annoyance as his arms felt like they were breaking, thankfully Eileen came in from behind, jumped on Gascoigne's back and began stabbing him repletely in his back "Eileen?"

"What are you waiting for boy, hit him now!" Eileen yelled back as Gascoigne grabbed Eileen by her right arm trying to throw her off, while she kept using her left blade to continue stabbing him

"Right!" Alfred responded as he began ramming his Logarius wheel against Gascoigne's chest as sounds of broken bones and flesh ripping could be heard

"No, no I will not be taken away by you damn beasts. I shall not be separated from my family!" Father Gascoigne said in a angered tone as he pushed through the sudden assault, flung Eileen over his body and into Alfred as both Yahrmanites we bashed into the ground; while they groaned in pain

"That hurt." Eileen stated as she and Alfred looked up to see Father Gascoigne about to slam his axe down at them, but as the blade was inches away from them Vladimir blocked the attack with his saw cleaver

"No you won't take them you mad man, I killed you once and I can kill you again!" Vladimir yelled out he had a similar feat of strength, then he lifted his saw blade up and throwing Father Gascoigne back. But Vladimir wasn't don't yet as he quickly rammed his hand straight into his chest, then he pulled his hand out. But oddly enough to the others who were watching from outside the barrier, they though they saw Vladimir's hand in the form of a wolf claws. Once Vladimir pulled out his hand from Father Gascoigne's chest, a gaping wound was left in its wake as he, Eileen and Alfred prepped for battle once more. Meanwhile the others just watched

"I have to say, they sure do know how to fight." Glynda stated with an impressed look as the others silently agreed with her, though Glynda was startled a little when Maria place her hand upon her shoulder

"Oh I apologize for that Glynda, I was just going to say I agree with you. Then again, with how our world is, they need to know how to fight and survive." Maria explained as she and the rest continued to watch

"Must mean they survived a lot to live this long, Vladimir, Eileen and Alfred must have a lot of stories to tell." Hana said as she watched the fight, cheering on her friends as the battle seemed to be in their favor

"Stories yes, staying alive well…" Maria replied back, but stopped as she seemed to wince a little trying to finish her sentence

"Huh?" Glynda asked in confusion, but she and the rest got their answers a moment later

"AAHAHAHHA!" Alfred screamed out as Father Gascoigne in a blind rage was able to slash Alfred in half

"OH MY GOD!" Twilight yelled out as she was trying her best to not throw up, the others were just as shocked. But it wasn't done yet as Father Gascoigne quickly did the a similar finisher to Eileen in speeds that could only have been enhanced by the heartless that had infected him

"GAHAHAH!" Eileen screamed out in pain as her body split in half, making both sides fall on the ground away from one another as blood poured out from the body splits

"NO!" Twilight, Angela, Solider 76 and Applejack yelled out. But the horror wasn't done as Father Gascoigne turned to Vladimir, cutting his arm off with one clean swipe

"AGRHH-" Vladimir began screaming, but was interrupted as Father Gascoigne cut his head off with one clean swipe, leaving the headless body to fall over as blood squirted a little from neck. Vladimir's head meanwhile feel on the ground staring at the others with the eyes still open

"Jeez man." Robbie said with a slightly disgusted tone, while Bastion , Leon and Solider 76 nodded in silent agreement with him. The girls meanwhile were wide eyed at this, though Hana and Yuffie began tearing up a little from seeing three of their friends be brutally killed

"Dear lord….they…they shouldn't have died liked that." Glynda stated with a tone of horror as she looked to see Maria with blank face. To her defense Maria hadn't shown much emotion, but for some reason Glynda and the rest of the refuges could tell how she felt by just looking at her. Though right now, Maria was giving off a feeling of calmness. This actually got on Glynda's nerves a little as she grabbed Maria by the collar of her sweater "What's with you, I know you can't show most emotion but your friends just died. Doesn't that bring up some sort of emotion of sadness!"

"Whoa Glynda calm down, please I'm sure she's feeling the same as us." Angela stated as she was trying to make sure a fight within the group wasn't about to happen. Though Maria calmly just moved Glynda's hands from her collar

"Actually your wrong on that Angela, I am not sad. But that's because they'll be fine, look at the bodies then the lamp." Maria answered

"Vroop, beep, boop?" Bastion asked in utter confusion, but he got his answer a second later

"Yeah… look at their bodies." Leon stated with a slightly off-putting tone as the group looked to see the corpses of Vladimir, Alfred and Eileen suddenly fade out of existence in a grey colored smoke

"Wait where did their bodies go?" Rarity asked in shock

"You'll see, look at the lamp now please." Maria answered as the group look at the lamp which glowed slightly brighter, then to the groups shock the three Yahrmanites appeared back alive and well. But they were on the ground in slight pain, seeming like this had happen before to them

"But…but how…" Glynda asked in utter shocked as she looked to Maria "You told us everything about your world, but I don't remember one thing about... about this!"

"Simmer down Glynda, I'm sure Maria has a reason for not telling any of us this." Applejack kindly said, despite the pain she was feeling "Right Maria?

"I do, I didn't tell any of you this because I knew you all were already off put from what we had told you of our world. The others didn't tell you either because of that reason alone, but this is another part of the hunter's contracts. They are bonded to it and will die over and over again until they are released from. They also remember every one of their deaths, along with the pain they felt with it. Though that may have been why most hunters turned on one another." Maria explained as the rest were wide eyed at the explanation

"That's rough." Solider 76 stated with a slightly sympathetic tone

"Indeed, sickening to say the least." Twilight stated next as she almost threw up on the ground, but was able to keep it in

"I can only imagine what that must be like, to die so many times. Only to wake from that death and still have the memoires." Angel remarked with a shiver up her spin as Maria nodded

"Hey what do you mean by the hunters turned on each other?" Robbie asked as he looked at Vladimir, Eileen and Alfred still panting in pain "Also are they gonna be alright?"

"Yes they will be, they just haven't died in a while. So they have to get use to the feeling of death and rebirth again." Maria explained as she continued "Though what I mean Robbie is that at one point the hunters went into a civil war of sorts. It was never documents because the hunter civil war was that of a silent one. Hunters of all kinds would team up and in secret kill one another. Friends, close friends, family and even loved ones would kill each other. All for the sake of becoming stronger so they wouldn't die. You see the constant deaths got to most hunters minds, then pain was too much and they snapped. Killing each other all for the old blood to make them stronger."

"That sounds…horrible… so horrible and now our friends have to keep fight this man until he dies?" Glynda asked with worried tone

"Yes, yes we do Glynda. But it only us hunters that can do it." Eileen responded as she, Vladimir and Alfred got back up. Then began making their way over to the barrier once more

"Indeed and if we have to die over and over again until this mad man is defeated. Then so be it, that is our painful payment." Vladimir stated as they were inches away from the barrier, but suddenly was stopped as Bastion, Solider 76, Yuffie and Leon stood in their way

"Hold on there, look this guy is dangerous and I agree he has to be dealt with. But isn't there a way we could get us all passed the barrier?" Leon asked with a stern tone

"Bee, vroop, vroo." Bastion said as he crossed his arms

"Bastion is right, there's got to be another way we can all join you. We ain't gonna stay here and watch you three die over and over again in horrific ways!" Hana yelled out with a concerned tone as she along with the rest began arguing about it. Though Robbie was the only one who kept quiet, he thought that maybe he could do something with his Ghost Rider powers. As Robbie began expecting the barrier while grateful that Father Gascoigne didn't seem to taken notice of them on the other side of the barrier. He simply touched it and suddenly the portal changed from a Smokey grey to a hellish fire as he fell through, getting the attention of the others

"Robbie what did you just do?" Alfred asked as he tried to pass his hand first through the barrier, but couldn't as his hand was shot back. Thankfully thought his glove was the only thing to be slightly burnt from contact

"Are you okay?" Yuffie asked worriedly

"Yes I'm fine, thanks though for asking." Alfred responded back as he looked at Robbie once more "But what did you do boy?"

"I don't know, I thought I'd go up with Hana's suggestion and use my powers to see if I could bypass the barrier so the rest of us could join you. I need some help." Robbie said with a slightly nervous tone as he dodged quickly to the side and barely dodging Father Gascoigne attack as he slashed down at him with his axe "Like now!"

"We're going to try and find a way, just hold on okay! "Glynda responded back as she and the rest began pounding on the barrier with all they got as Robbie kept on dodging the flurry of attacks that Father Gascoigne was laying down on him

"Someday now, because I don't know if my powers are going to kick in anytime soon. Which is a pretty big heap of back luck if I say so!" Robbie stated as he tried dodging again, but tripped then saw Father Gascoigne walk up right at him with a wicked grin now with a wicked grin

"DIE BEAST!" Father Gascoigne screamed out as he brought his axe down at Robbie and then a smoke cloud formed from the impact

"ROBBIE!" The group yelled out in fear of what happened, though Bastion made a sad beep sound and Eileen just stayed quiet

"We have to get in there in there quickly, I'm sure he's fine." Eileen stated calmly

"But how do you know, that hit look… fatal." Hana asked in a very worried tone, until she and the rest heard a growl from the dust cloud

"I think my statement holds true young lady." Eileen said with a kind tone as the dust cloud died down to reveal Robbie in his Ghost Rider form, holding back Father Gascoigne's axe. Both struggling to push one another back with equal if not growing feats of strength

"What, what are you damn dirty beast!" Father Gascoigne's yelled out in irritation as suddenly he got a chain wrapped around his neck with the knife end stabbed slightly into his neck as well

"RRRAAAWWWRRRR!" Robbie roared out as he used all his strength to push back Father Gascoigne's axe, then without a second of hesitation Robbie used his chain to pull Father Gascoigne down into his knee. Making a slightly crunch noise as Robbie quickly released his chain from Father Gascoigne's neck to let the momentum and force of his hit throw the man into the air little

As the battle now really started to get going, Robbie quickly got under Father Gascoigne who was still in the air from his last attack. Robbie then used his chain again to wrapped around Father Gascoigne's body once more and flung him downwards fast. As Father Gascoigne was close to impacting the ground, Robbie kneed the man in the back. Making another crunch noise as Robbie then wrapped his chain off Father Gascoigne once more quickly, then grabbed his face and flung Father Gascoigne in the ground. Once that was done Robbie lifted Father Gascoigne from his hair, used the end of his chain this time to wrap around his neck. Then threw the bladed edge to stab into and wrap around a tree, creating a sort of hellish chain leash which kept an enraged Father Gascoigne at bay. Robbie then walked passed Father Gascoigne who was trying to claw at him, stopped a tombstone and ripped it out from the ground. Then he walked back up to Father Gascoigne who was snarling at this point.

"RELEASE ME YOU BEAST SO I MAY RIP YOUR SOULESS HEART FROM YOUR CHEST!" Father Gascoigne yelled out as Robbie to the groups slight discomfort, did a demonic chuckle as he stared straight into Father Gascoigne's cloth covered eyes

"No dice, but thankfully I'm a kind man. I'm giving a free funeral free of charge!" Robbie sadistically said as he began bashing the tomb stone against Father Gascoigne's head. With a little chunk of the tombstone breaking off with every hit while laughing "DIE, DIE, DIE YOU OLD BASTARD!"

"DAMN BEAST!" Father Gascoigne responded in anger as he was doing his best to soften the impact Robbie was laying down with the tombstone while the others watched in slight awe, slight worry and for some slight fear

"Robbie stop, don't act like he does!" Rarity yelled out as she tried her best to use a magical blast to open the barrier, but feel down once more in the ground. She tried getting back up, but couldn't as she fell back down once more as she glared at the barrier "JUST OPEN YOU STUPID BARRIER, WE'RE WANTING TO HELP A FRIEND OUT!"

"Rarity slow down, you'll over exert yourself if you try using magic right now." Twilight stated worriedly as Bastion picked Rarity up in his arms, as a way to make sure she didn't try anything else that could harm her "Thank you Bastion."

"Beep, vroo." Bastion replied as Rarity tried to struggled, but couldn't do much because she was so tired from all the magic use. Bastion just patted her kindly on the head before looking back at the others "Vroop, vroo?"

"Well what else can we do, Robbie somehow changed the barrier and not even we can get back in there." Alfred said as they could feel the impact tremors that were coming from Robbie who by this point was just punching Father Gascoigne since the tombstone he was using had crumbled into pieces

"He's really going at it huh?" Yuffie asked nervously as they heard a demonic laugh

"There's your answer, look I know that Robbie gave a bad impression at first for us. But he's proving to us that he's a good guy. Which is why we should be trying to find a way to get pass this barrier." Leon stated sternly as he rammed his blade against the barrier, which bounced off a little "So let's just keep beating this thing down until it wears out, that can happen right Maria?"

"Maybe, to be honest nothing like this has happen before so I wouldn't know. But I don't think it will make a difference, the battle is going to change tides sadly." Maria said with a tone that sounded like she was slightly sad, though it was hard to tell with her at times

"What do you- " Glynda asked as suddenly a rage filled roar could be hear, she and the rest then looked to see Father Gascoigne grab Robbie by his right arm mid punch with his left hand, while the dark whips around his body became much darker. Then Father Gascoigne grabbed Robbie's chain with his right hand, then pull it so hard that the tree it was attached was ripped from its roots and rammed Robbie against the wall. Meanwhile Father Gascoigne took the part of the chain that was around his neck out. Then he grabbed the chain with both hands and used the tree to begin repeatedly beat Robbie with as each impact created a tremor that was much more noticeable than Robbie's own attacks beforehand

"HURRY HE'LL DIE IF THIS GOES ON ANY LONGER!" Rarity who was set back down on the ground yelled out as she and the rest looked in horror from the beating Robbie was receiving. Though out of the group, Yuffie, Leon, Solider 76, Bastion in his turret mode, along with even Angela who had her pistol out as they shot at the barrier with a flurry of magic spells along and bullets in an attempt to break the barrier down

"WE'RE TRYING. THIS THING IS WAY TO DURABLE!" Solider 76 yelled back as he quickly reloaded his pulse Rife before continuing to shoot

"Come on Robbie just hang on…" Hana said with a fear filled tone as she, Glynda, Vladimir, Eileen, Alfred, Applejack and Maria kept on watching while Robbie kept getting hit by the tree. Meanwhile Father Gascoigne smiled in sickening delight

"DIE BEAST!" Father Gascoigne yelled out as the darkness around him began to growing around his body a little as Robbie's fire was starting to dim down at an alarming rate

"JUST A LITTLE FURTHER!" Yuffie stated with a determine grin as she fired blizzard spells at deathly fast speeds. Meanwhile the impact tremors from Father Gascoigne's attacks seem to become increasingly intense by the second

"DIE!" Father Gascoigne screamed at the top of his lungs as by this point the darkness had formed into vein like roots around his cheeks and arms while the tree had formed into a large boulder of darkness which kept bashing against Robbie who was trying his best to move. But with little to no luck, as each hit came in faster with each swing from Father Gascoigne

"COME ON!" Angela screamed out in fear as she didn't want to have to see a young man die in a horrible way like this one

"DIE!" Father Gascoigne roared out with a tone of primal blood lust as he swung his dark infused weapon at Robbie with all his strength he could muster up. As the weapon made contact with Robbie, this time the tremor was so intense that it created a shockwave that broke the weapon back into the tree, while the chain flew from his hand. Meanwhile outside the barrier the shockwave blasted the group back an inch or two on their feet/hoofs

"What, what was that?" Applejack asked as she and the rest looked to see Robbie fall back onto the ground in pain as he turned back into his human form

"Ugh…." Robbie groaned in pain as he tried to get back up on his legs, but couldn't as he fell back onto the ground

"Oh no…" Yuffie remarked as she saw Father Gascoigne picked up his axe and walk up to Robbie who was still trying to get back up with no luck

"Robbie!" Vladimir yelled out as he and the rest could only stand and watch, as Father Gascoigne lifted his axe up

"You're done beast, once I'm done with you I'll kill your little beast friends next. NOW DIE!" Father Gascoigne said as he swung his blade down, at that moment time slowed down for Robbie as he decided not to do anything and accept his fate

"Sorry Gabe…." Robbie muttered with a single tear as he felt horrible that he was going to leave his little brother all alone now in his world, meanwhile he could hear the others yelling at him to do something. He appreciated the sentiment, but he wouldn't as he was to fatigued and this guy was becoming stronger than him by the minuet. As the blade was about to hit him, Robbie closed his eyes and prepared for the painful hit to the head. But to his surprised a few seconds later nothing happen, then time seemed to move normally for him once more as he looked to see Father Gascoigne screaming in pain as his hand that held his axe was shot off and his left leg had a bullet wound in his calf "What the hell?"

"What the hell is right, who did that?" Solider 76 stated as he and the rest were relived Robbie was okay, but were confused as much as Robbie was with what just happened. They all got their answers very quickly

"Hey what don't you pick on someone who can fight bub?" A voice came from behind Father Gascoigne as two to everyone's surprise two men came from in sight

The first man was peach skinned, had short messy dirty blonde hair, had a bit of stubble and blue eyes. He wore a pair of black biker boots, ash washed pants, a pair of black biker gloves, a white shirt and lastly a black leather biker jacket with spikes on the shoulders and a chain tied around his chest. The man also wielded a short-stocked pump action shotgun.

The second man seemed older, had peach skin also, brown eyes, medium length white hair and a short white beard. He wore a wore tan shirt, a leather trench coat, a pair of black cowboy boots, a pair of black gloves and a cowboy hat. This man wielded a revolver, with a bit of smoke coming from the barrel

"Who are these two?" Vladimir asked as he and the rest watched the two men move to Robbie while aiming their guns at Father Gascoigne who was too busy looked at his missing hand, along with trying to make his leg wound stop bleeding as the darkness surrounding him didn't seem to be healing either wound strangely

"Come on kid get back up." The first man stated as he and the older man help him back up to his feet

"Ugh…wait, Johnny what are you doing here?" Robbie asked much to the groups confusion

"Wait he know those guys?" Twilight quietly asked as she and the rest continued listening to Robbie conversation with the two newcomers

"Can't say kid, I can't remember. Though I was surprised to see my friend Slade here." Johnny answered as Robbie looked to Slade who gave him a raised eyebrow

"I'm suppose to be dead, but more importantly you're the newest addition to the family?" Slade stated with questioning look as Robbie frowned a little

"What's that suppose to mean?" Robbie asked with a slightly angered glare as Slade rolled his eyes

"Just was saying is all, but from what I can tell you have a long way before you get in control." Slade answered as he, Johnny and Robbie then looked at Father Gascoigne who was still trying to get his wound to stop bleeding while cringing at the constant pain his stump arm was giving him "Huh, seems like he's been too preoccupied with his wounds."

"Well that's what happens when you get shot up by hell fire, it leaves a lasting effect." Johnny answered calmly as Slade just shrugged in agreement

"Okay why are you two taking this so calmly, he gave me enough trouble as it is!" Robbie yelled out in irritation as Slade punched him in the stomach with enough force to get him to shut up immediately as he clutched his stomach "What…what was that for jackass?!"

"For one you need to calm down boy, two your being too noisy and three quiet your belly aching. Me and Johnny can take care of your problem since you seem to be having trouble. Your gonna be one to take a while to teach once were done here." Slade answered calmly

"Speaking of which, let's finish off this guy. Then we'll get to talking. Slade?" Johnny stated as he and Slade aimed their guns at Father Gascoigne who was still trying to fight through the hellfire induced pain. But as the man looked up Johnny and Slade shot him through his head as it exploded into a tone of small pieces. Making the others outside the barrier cringed a little other than the Yahrmanites, Solider 76 and Maria

"That was….that was to easy." Robbie remarked with a wide eyed looked as Johnny and Slade looked back at him

"Yeah, it's was. Now can we discussed were we are and also who those people behind that barrier are?" Johnny asked with a confused tone as he, Slade and Robbie looked back to see the others. Though out of the group Glynda was the one to awkwardly wave as Robbie awkwardly waved back

"Is that one single?" Johnny asked with a smirk as Slade smacked him across the head "Okay, okay sorry. I was kidding, pretty thing she is; but I was kidding."

"Well for one she's married, two those are some of new friends and three well…this might take a bit to explain. How about you both follow me and friends back at the hotel, then everything will be explained." Robbie responded back as he looked back at the barrier with a confused look "Hey is there a reason why the barrier ain't down ?"

"Because you haven't beaten Father Gascoigne yet!" Vladimir answered

"Wait how is that even possible, Johnny and Sade just-" Robbie replied as suddenly he stopped mid-sentence, when a growl could be heard as he, Johnny and Slade looked back to see Father Gascoigne stand back up. With his body covered in darkness, his head grew back from the darkness with his eyes as two yellow orbs, his mouth turned in a sharped dagger like smile. Then his head grew two crocked antennas, but that wasn't the end of it. The newly resurrected Father Gascoigne's body grew in size as he became taller and much more muscular. His legs bent into a wolfs legs shape, his hands grew claws, his feet turned into paw like appendages and then lastly his face formed wolf like. As this transformation finished, Father Gascoigne glared at the three with a killer intent

"OH COME ON THAT'S JUST CHEAP. HACKS, I CALL HACKS!" Hana screamed out as she was now more worried than ever. Then she felt Vladimir pat her on the shoulder, making her look back at him

"I understand how you feel, I'm a fool for forgetting that little trick of his. That was the death of me more times than I'd like to admit when I fought him." Vladimir stated as he and Hana looked back at Father Gascoigne, Robbie and his new friends who were doing a stare off of tense silence

"Can they beat him in this form?" Leon asked

"Can't say, they may be able to if Robbie's new friends have a trick up their sleeves." Vladimir answered as he and the rest continued to look in tense worry for the battle that was going to happen

"Great, just great." Slade stated in annoyance as he looked back at Robbie "You still good for a fight kid?"

"Hey I might be new to this, but I've dealt with my share of pain since this all started with me. So yeah I'm still good." Robbie answered with a stern tone as Slade smirk at that

"Good to know kid, besides he shouldn't be any harder since he was pretty beat down with just you. Beside if one Ghost rider isn't enough…" Johnny said with a smile as he and Slade did something that shocked the others

"What…no way." Glynda said with wide eyed expression as she and the rest looked to see that the two newcomers Johnny and Slade turned into Ghost Riders themselves. Both men's head turned into flaming skulls, Johnny's jacket spikes grew sharper and Slade's clothing became worn out. Then lastly both men pulled out flaming chains

"Then three Ghost Riders should finish the job in half the time." Johnny finished saying as he did demonic chuckle, while Robbie turned back into his Ghost rider form and took his chain

"You got that right, now follow our lead boy and you'll see how a real Ghost Rider fights." Slade said as he cracked his neck, ready for a fight while Robbie just growled a little in irritation

"Fine whatever, let's just get this done with." Robbie said last as he, Johnny and Slade readied their chains for battle

"RAWR!" Father Gascoigne roared out as he charged at the three Ghost Riders

"GRAHHH!" Robbie, Johnny and Slade roared back with an inhuman tone as they charged back at Father Gascoigne, then suddenly a clash of dark based attacks and hell fire sprouted out as the battle began. Meanwhile the others watched wide eyed at the sight

"There's three of them now, this is… somewhat nerve racking." Angela remarked as she and the rest had come around with Robbie for the most part. But now with two more unknowns who have the same demonic powers Robbie does. It actually made Angela feel uneasy about the situation as she remembered the damage Robbie could cause in his Ghost rider form

"Yeah, gotta agree with ya Angela." Applejack added in as she, Twilight and Rarity watched the intense battle with slight shivers down their backs

"Beep, boop?" Bastion asked worriedly

"What we can do is only watch, the barrier on the other hand. Well think I may know someone who could possibly help." Leon answered as he began making his way to the entrance of district 5

"Wait Leon where are you going?" Solider 76 asked as Leon stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn back around

"Don't worry, I'm getting Merlin. He might be able to get that barrier down. Let's just hope Robbie and two new comers can keep it up." Leon explained as he continued once again his way out of the area. Meanwhile the rest of the group just sighed and watched, hoping Robbie, Johnny and Slade could hold out until Leon came back with Merlin. Though as this happened, Hk-97 was watching as well from the rooftops

"Statement: Hm I wonder if these three will beat the mad man. I shall watch and see if that's the case. The result either way will be interesting to say the least." HK-97 muttered to himself with sicken tone of curiosity as he watched the battle continued on

-Meanwhile with team RWBY and Jaune-

"This is a pretty nice walk, you agree gals?" Ruby happily asked as she, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Jaune had been walking through the jungle for a while now. The girls hadn't found any clues on the keyholes possible location, along with having not to deal with any heartless thankfully as team RWBY wanted to enjoy the peaceful yet possible dangerous stroll in this jungle. Also from what the girls could tell, they were not going the right direction to where Tarzan and their friends were either. Still they were happy to have found Jaune, one of their four or now three friends they were looking for

"I have to agree with you Ruby, though the constant worry that we may be attacked by the wild life in this place is making this a worrisome situation as well." Blake replied back with a sheepish grin as thankfully her cat ears were good for spotting distant sounds that could be possible danger for them

"Oh Blake, you worry too much. I personally think this is a very romantic sort of stroll, I mean I get to walk through a lovely jungle with my lovely Ruby." Weiss stated joyfully as she latched herself onto Ruby's left arm as Ruby giggled in joy from the affection Weiss was giving her

"You two are just something else, it's pretty cute." Yang remarked smirking as she held Blake's hand with hers as Blake looked at her with a blush. As the girls kept on walking a bit more, they suddenly stopped as they looked back to see Jaune who was following in behind. But seemed to be in deep thought, which didn't help as he suddenly tripped over onto his face

"Ow…" Jaune muttered as the girls helped him up back onto his feet, then dusted him off while Jaune fought the urge to punch them for touching him. Even if it was just to help him back up to his feet, he felt utterly sick like he needed to be decontaminated "Thanks girls, sorry about that thought. I'm just thinking is all."

"We can see that Jaune, but what's it about to get you so stuck in thought?" Weiss asked with a concerned tone

"Well ah…" Jaune tried to explained with the best fake depressed tone as he didn't want to speak to these four at all and was finding playing the reunited friend part to be becoming harder by the second

"Come on Jaune, can tell us. We're all friends here." Blake kindly said as she patted Jaune on the shoulder

"Right, we are friends and friends are there for each other." Jaune responded back with a muscle tensing smile – "Shut the hell up you lair."-

"You got that right, so spill the beans. What's got you so worked up buddy?" Yang happily stated as she gave Jaune a wide smile

"Yeah so tell us please!" Ruby added in joyfully as she jumped in the air once with a reassuring smile, making Jaune really want to punch Ruby and Yang in their faces for feeding him their lies

"You should just tell them something, best not to raise suspicion to yourself boy." Ansem sternly suggested as Jaune fully agreed with him and knew what just to say

"Look I'm just worried about Ren, Nora, my fiancé Pyrrha and…the baby." Jaune answered as this was the truth and the most believable reason for the way he was behaving currently. Though he had been worried about his friends and fiancé, he had been actually calculating with Ansem of when it would be a good time to kill Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang in this world. Thankfully for him the girls bought the truth/cover up

"Oh Jaune, we're worried about them to. Especially the baby, but I'm sure they'll be fine once we save them." Ruby said with kindly as she knew they'd save Pyrrha, Ren, Nora and the baby. Then once the baby was born she knew she, Weiss, Blake and Yang were going to be fawning over the little adorable baby

"I guess so, hey I guess the baby will be having some crazy family members. You know you girls and the others I mean." Jaune responded as he did his best fake laugh with team RWBY who laughed as well. Though Jaune was angry that these four thought they'd be allowed to be near his child once he or she was born, he'd make sure to keep his children away for these girls. Though they'd be dead anyways once he finds the chance to kill them, so he didn't have to worry about that particular issue honestly

"Defiantly and we'll spoil that child to no end." Weiss happily replied as she and the girls took a few more moments to calm themselves down. Once they were done laughing, they looked ahead into the jungle

"Have to say that maybe we should get some extra back-up, without Tarzan's help we don't have a knowledgeable guide for these jungles or the wild life living in them." Yang whispered for only Ruby, Blake and Weiss to hear since they were supposed to keep Tarzan a secret for now. Not they didn't trust Jaune, it was more lik they didn't trust Clayton so the girls were just being cautious is all

"We know Yang, trust us we know. But what can we do, it's not like we have anyone else who could help navigate through the jungle." Blake responded as she and Yang sighed

"Indeed, I guess we'll just have to go by our intuition. Right sweetie?" Weiss stated as she looked over to Ruby who seemed to be in conflicted thought "Ruby?"

"Well… we do have one person who could help us." Ruby answered with a weak smile as Weiss, Blake and Yang wonder what she meant. Then it hit them on who Ruby was speaking of and went a little wide eyed at the suggestion

"Ruby we are not having that monster help us, it's already on my list of things to be wary of and that's when it was injured. Now that…that thing is fully healed, no way we should release it, we don't know what it would do." Blake whispered back in a wary and protective tone

"Blakey I feel the same way, but who else is going to be able to help us in this place. His name is Jungle Hunter anyways so yeah, he'd be the one to be able to help." Yang responded as she gave her girlfriend a understanding smile

"I hate to have to admit, but that thing is probably our best hope to navigate this jungle easily. Besides Jungle hunters a beast anyways, he'll fit in here perfectly." Weiss said with a distained tone as she gave Ruby a worried look "Sweetie, you can summon him just….just be careful is all. I don't trust that monster much still."

"I will snow flake, I promise and don't worry. He'll behave, I know that for a fact." Ruby kindly responded back as she gave Weiss a quick kiss, appreciating the worry Weiss had for her

"Hey ah, what are girls talking about?" Jaune asked as he was worried they were catching into him, though thankfully Ansem was good at reassuring him that wasn't the case

"Oh right sorry, we were having a conversation is all Jaune. But you need to promise us that you won't freak out on what Ruby is about to do." Weiss explained with a sheepish smile as Ruby, Blake and Yang laughed awkwardly

"Okay, I promise to try." Jaune answered back as he was ready to pull his blade out if needed, but to his sudden surprise the girls were engulfed in a bright glow. Then just as the glow died down, Jaune saw a monstrosity left in it's wake

"GRRRAHH!" Jungle Hunter roared out as he stretched his body and then noticed his surroundings before looking down at to see the girls. But didn't take notice to Jaune yet, he then activated his gauntlet "You need something?"

"Yeah we do, we need you to-" Ruby began to explain to her summon, until Jaune cut in

"Okay hold on a moment what the heck did you just do and also what the heck is this thi-" Jaune began to ask, but was cut off as Jungle hunter immediately grabbed him by the throat and lifted him in the air "Ugh…a…a little help…"

"Don't worry Jaune!" Ruby answered back first as she quickly glared at Jungle Hunter "LET HIM GO NOW!"

"Grr…" Jungle hunter growled back as he looked at Ruby and crooked his head to the side a little

"LET HIM GO NOW OR I WILL RIGHT NOW MAKE SURE YOU LEARN I'M THE BOSS HERE!" Ruby screamed out as he pulled out her keyblade and gave Jungle hunter a glare that actually seemed to unlevered him a little as he dropped Jaune a moment later

"Jaune are alright?" Blake asked as she and Weiss ran up next to him, then help him up back to his feet

"Yeah…I fine, throats is just gonna be a little sore for a while." Jaune answered back as he looked slightly up to see Ruby unsummon her keyblade while glaring at Jungle hunter still. It was a funny sight to see the little brat Ruby make that beasts listen to her. But he also felt like Jungle hunter was staring at him, like he the beast could see through his lies – "I might have to be more careful, if not then that thing could cause some trouble. Along with my possible death."-

"Indeed Jaune, be very wary and make sure you have your sword ready just in case." Ansem stated as Jaune silently agreed with him

"So, what do have say for yourself huh?" Ruby asked as she had her arms crossed and was giving him a scolding glare. Though Jungle hunter just crooked his head once more to Yang's irritation

"Don't play with us you almost killed our friend. So what do you got to say?" Yang stated as she was ready to punch her little sisters summon

"Yeah, so spill it." Blake stated next as she and Weiss made their way up, glaring at Jungle hunter who looked back at Jaune still rubbing his throat; then looked back at the girls as he motioned them to follow him for a moment which they did. Once behind the tree, Jungle hunter looked back once more to see Jaune still rubbing his throat, then he activated his gauntlet

"First off, I ain't taking kindly to be called a thing. Not that it offends me but it gets on my nerves. Little white hair, black hair and blonde hair I can take since your friends to my summoner per say which I know who would be enraged if I harmed you three for your comments. Along with the fact with you little red holding onto my crystal, I am basically at your mercy. "Jungle hunter explained before looking quickly back to make sure Jaune wasn't ease dropping, which he wasn't thankfully and was looking around the area currently "Secondly, the boy gave off a bad feeling to me. One with the intent of murder."

"Murder, why that is the most absurd thing I've heard." Weiss replied with a scowl as Jaune was probably one of nicest men she, Ruby, Blake and Yang had met. Along with being a good friend of theirs, which only made Weiss more angered by what Jungle Hunter was insinuating

"Totally, how the heck would you know if he has an intent to kill huh?" Yang asked angrily as Jungle Hunter turn his attention directly at her, making Yang suddenly feel a slight cold fear of this cold blooded monster her beloved little sister had for a summon "J-Just answer…"

"What do you think, it takes a killer to know a killer. All I'm saying is watch your back, whoever you think he is ain't him anymore. He wants to kill, who I can't say but watch your backs." Jungle Hunter explained as the girls frowned worriedly, mainly that Jungle Hunter would probably be the one to know if someone was a killer or not. That worried them that Jaune might have killed someone, but they were giving their friend the benefit of doubt…they wanted to believe Jungle was wrong

"We…We'll keep that in mind buddy, look we're looking for clues on the keyhole. Though this jungle is pretty dangerous from what me and the girls can tell. So if you wouldn't mind, but could you help us scout out this jungle along with keeping us all safe?" Ruby kindly asked, as Jungle Hunter stared at her for a few moments before slowly nodding "Thank you, so guess you can take lead alright?"

"Sure." Jungle Hunter responded with his gauntlet as he began walking forwards, followed by Weiss, Blake then Yang

"Jaune come on!" Ruby yelled out as she followed in behind now while Jaune just sighed, feeling tired having to be around these girls and the beast that was close to choking him out. But he complied as he followed in behind. Still plotting on when to kill these four and if so the then beast with them as well

-Elsewhere-

"Alright then, I think this is best I can do for her." An old man said in exhaustion. The older man had balding grey hair, a grey handlebar mustache, pale skinned and green eyes. He wore a maroon plaid shirt, brown overhauls, brown boots, black leather gloves and a red scarf. This was Doc Mitchell and he was currently working on a young woman who had been found shot in the head

"Well it's better than most doc, she'd be dead by this point. But I guess she's lucky we got such a darn swell doctor like you." A navy-blue robot said with a single wheel for legs, a thick T shaped torso, square shoulders, tube like arms with three metal pincers on each. Then lastly in the chest of the T shaped torso was a screen with the image of a smiling cowboys face

"Thanks Victor, but you helped too. If you hadn't found her then she would have been left to die in the grave yard. Speaking of which make sure to tell the others to keep an eye out for any Great Khans for the next few days. We already got enough trouble with those Powder Ganger fella's coming in for that Ringo character. Poor man, either they'll take him by force or we'll throw him out before that. Either way that man does not have much of chance of survival." Doc Mitchel responded as he wiped off some of the blood from his shirt. Mainly because the woman he had been operating on for the past few days had been one of if not the most hardest surgery he had to do in his life. She had two bullet holes in her head and straight into the brain. This woman was lucky enough that she had been taken to him, but even with all of his medical training it was a close call a few times. Either way Doc Mitchel was just glad he saved this woman's life, when she would wake up was all but a guess for him

"Aw shucks doc, that's kind of you to say. Speaking of which when is our little friend here going to wake up anyhow?" Victor asked as Doc Mitchel frowned a little

"Can't say Victor, can't say one bit. But when she wakes up I'm sure she'll have some question along with a major headache." Doc Mitchel responded back as he and Victor just stared at the woman, it was another case of theft. This time of a courier being the woman healing up from her previous wound, but that was from the document she had in her pocket which also oddly didn't have her name written in it. But for some reason the note gave him a weird feeling, mainly because of it being about a delivery for a platinum chip of all things. Though what got him really unnerved was this weird feeling, like bigger things were going to change soon in the whole of the Mojave Wasteland. But before he could think on this more, suddenly someone came in running into his home

"Doc we need your help!" A young woman with tan skin, red hair tied in a spiky bun and had brown eyes yelled out in a panic. She wore an outfit made of leather as it covered her whole body, except for her finger which were left uncovered. She was holding in her hands a small varmint rifle along with a large grey, black and white fur dog with her

"Sunny what are doing here and why does Shyanne look like she got into scuffle, is she okay?" Doc Mitchel asked

"Yeah she's fine, actually Shyanne is the one who helped out Easy Pete when he got attack which is why I'm here because his leg got cut up pretty well." Sunny explained as Doc Mitchel and Victor looked at one another worriedly

"Alright, I got my bag here. Lead me and Victor to Pete." Doc Mitchel stated a Sunny then lead Doc Mitchel and Victor out into the town which was called Goodsprings. It wasn't hard to find the where Easy Pete was since he was surrounded by all the other towns Folks

"Just keep calm Pete, Sunny is bringing the doc here soon." A man with yellowish tone skin, black hair and brown eyes said. He wore a grey long sleeved shirt a pair of blue overalls and black shoes

"Yeah take Chet's advice, you'll be fixed up soon." A woman kindly said as she was peached skin, had light brown eyes and medium length dark brown hair. She wore a greyish tan skirt, greyish tan knitted sweater, a white undershirt and black heels

"I am calm Trudy, but that darn…thing got me. I'm just lucky Shyanne and Sunny heard me when they did." An old dark skinned man with a white buzz cut, a white beard and brown eyes responded back calmly. He wore a dark blue long sleeve shirt, a dark blue pair of overhauls, black shoes, black gloves, a straw hat and a red bandanna. This was Easy Pete and he was the current survivor of an attack by a creature he had never seen which was surprising since the Mojave Wasteland was filled with mutated abominations that he was glad he'd never have to see again at his age

"Your welcome again and look I got doc for you just like I said I would" Sunny kindly stated as Shyann barked, while Doc Mitchel and Victor made their way up

"Well it's a good thing Sunny got me, that wound looks bad." Doc Mitchel said as he knelt down next to Easy Pete while placing his medical bag down, but he looked at Victor for a moment "Victor could you keep an eye out, just in case whatever attacked Pete is still here."

"No problem one bit doc." Victor replied as he stayed in a stationary position, but look around from side to side like a guard dog

"Thanks Victor, anyways Pete you mind tell us what attacked you while I clean up you leg?" Doc Mitchel asked as pulled out some cloth and, scissors and a few stimpacks

"Yeah I'd like to know as well." Chet said as he was curious on what attacked Easy Pete

"I think we'd all like to know just to say." Turdy added in as the towns folks all nodded in agreement with her, mostly because they wanted to know what it looked like so they could kill whatever this creature was on sight

"None of you would believe me, well other than Sunny and Shyann." Easy Pete stated while Doc Mitchel worked on his leg, meanwhile the towns folks looked at Sunny who just gave them a sheepish smile

"Trust me, I'm still bewildered by it. It was like a small thing with pitch black skin, antennas, claws and two big yellow eyes." Sunny explained as the town's folks began murmuring with each other nervously. Meanwhile Doc Mitchel had finished fixing up Easy Pete's leg and help him up, with Chet helping as well

"Alright simmer down everyone, as strange as the description Sunny gave us it ain't like we haven't seen that much stranger. So we just got to keep a-" Turdy beagn saying to keep the peace, but was cut off a suddenly a few large brown furred covered creatures with large horns ran up near them, shaking in slight fear

"The big horns are scared, question is why?" Doc Mitchel stated as he looked to see Chet shaking a little nervously "Chet what's wrong?"

"I-I think that thing that attacked Easy Pete is back…" Chet answered as he pointed ahead of the crowd and right at a creature with the same exact description looking right back at them

"Holy crap you were right, that thing is something." Trudy replied with a wide eyed look as the creature began to charge at them, but was quickly shot at by Victor who had twin 9mm guns built into his arms. It created a small cloud of smoke as Victor finished off firing at the thing

"That take cares of that little pest." Victor happily said as Sunny look at Trudy with a smirk

"And here you said he did have any uses." Sunny stated as Trudy rolled her eyes a little, but the moment was cut short as suddenly the same creature appeared ahead of the smoke cloud and was literally traveling through the ground then lunged at one of the male townsfolks making everyone scatter away a little

"OH GOD HELP ME!" The man yelled out as the creature dug into his chest a little, then actually fused into him to the rest of the towns horror. Then even to their further horror the man's skin turned pitch black, his mouth became jagged, his eye became pure yellow, two antennas grew from his head and his hands turned to claws. The possessed man then stood back up as he cracked his neck, while the rest of the townsfolk, Victor, Doc Mitchel still holding up Pete with Chet , Sunny, a growling Shyanne and an alerted Victor scooted next to one another as they wondered what was going to happen next. What happened next confirmed their worries you could say, as the possessed man looked at them with his soulless yellow eye "RAWR!"

"Shoot it, shoot it!" Easy Pete yelled out as the as the possessed man lunged at the towns folks. Only for the possessed man to be gunned down by the towns folks who pulled out their 9mm pistols, varmint rifles, single barreled shotguns and by Victor's 9mm arm cannons as it was shredded up by a hail of bullets. After about fifteen seconds of fear induced shooting, the large group ceased shooting as they looked to see the thing lying dead on the ground with black blood seeping from its wounds

"What the heck was that?" Chet asked as he and the others inspected the body "Shame, nice fella that was. But what now?"

"We'll be getting to bed now, tomorrow when we're awake then we'll deal with the body here. Along with the steps afterwards. That sound alright with everyone?" Turdy suggested as the townsfolk murmured amongst one another, then just dispersed to their homes. Once that happen all those left were Doc Mitchel, Chet, Sunny, Shyann, Victor, Trudy and Easy Pete still being held up. All looking at one another worriedly with this new revelation

"So… how do we deal with this?" Sunny asked nervously

"To be honest I can't say Sunny, this…this is way different from most things in the Mojave. But whatever these things are at least we know they can bleed. Which means they can die." Trudy answered with the best courageous face she could muster up

"Ture, very true. But you ladies need some sleep as well, me, Chet and Victor will take Pete up to my place. Let him rest out while I make sure his leg don't go bleeding out again. Whatever that thing was that attacked your leg Pete, it did some pretty good damage to your leg. Even the stimpacks couldn't heal most of it up." Doc Mitchel stated as Turdy and Sunny nodded, then made their way off to their home along with Shyann following in behind quickly

"Thanks again Doc, hey ain't that girl you've been fixing up still there?" Easy Pete asked as he, Doc Mitchel, Chet and Victor began making their way up to Doc Mitchel's home

"Yes she is Pete, she's fine now but I can't say when she'll wakes up. Right now though, let's just worry about letting that leg of yours heal." Doc Mitchel replied back as he and the rest with him continued to his home. All staying quiet and moments later they entered his home. But as the town finally went silent, a dog sized bipedal Gecko walked up cautiously to the dead possessed man's body

"Grr…" The Gecko growled as it inspected the dead body, sensing danger coming from it and the creature would have left the body alone if it's stomach hadn't suddenly growled in pain from th lack of food it had lately. So in an act of survival the Gecko dug into the possessed man's chest and made quick work with eating a decent amount of meat off the bones, once done though it began to feel intense pain in its stomach. Then it's body was taken over by a dark wisp that came from its mouth as it's skin became pitch black, it's tail grew spikes, it's eyes went full yellow, it mouth did the same as two antennas grew from its head. Lastly spikes grew from the shoulders, arms and back. Once the transformation was done, a single thought began repeating through the Geckos mind

"Find, kill, feast, infect… find, kill, feast, infect…" The whisper muttered in the possessed Geckos mind as it made its way out of town, with the intent to do so and trouble was to come ahead once it found more victims

-Back with team RWBY-

"So nothing yet, that makes me feel better." Weiss said as she, Ruby, Blake, Yang and Jaune kept walking through the forest, though the area was getting more unnerving by the moment

"I agree Weiss, I really do." Ruby replied to her girlfriend as Jungle hunter wasn't helping with their worries as he was jumping from tree to tree above them. Though she had allowed it since he did bring up a good point that it would give them better perspectives, he also explained he could use his cloak so no one would see him. But Ruby sternly had told him that he could go into the trees, though without using his cloak which took a few minutes to convince him to listen. But in the end he agreed, though now Ruby was somewhat wondering if that was a good idea to do since Jungle hunters growls from above them wasn't making their currently location any more welcoming that it already was for them "Jungle hunter could you maybe not be so creepy?"

"Grr…" Jungle hunter answered as he landed in front of the group, making the girls and Jaune jump a little in slight shock even if they knew he was up there

"Ugh, will you warn us next time dude. For real, I almost threw my keyblade at you." Yang asked in slight irritation

"I'd say do it, either way maybe it could teach him not to act like such a creep." Blake stated with a smirk as Yang looked back at her and kiss her on the lips, before retracting and smirking back

"Babe, I love you so much." Yang remarked with as Blake giggled at the affection as they continued look at each other lovingly

"Well they're in their own little world now. But Yang has a point, look I know we're tense with each one another when it comes to your…methods. But at least try and be a team player." Weiss said as Ruby nodded in absolute agreement while Jungle hunter crocked his head to the side. Then strangely he pulled two small spike poles with narrow ends from his belt, he then took one of them out and placed the other back. Then he held it in his hand right in front of Ruby and Weiss, Jaune meanwhile just kept quiet through this whole strange ordeal as suddenly it opened up becoming a staff. This startled Ruby and Weiss, while getting Blake and Yang's attention; Jaune also was startled by this as he wonder how much more secrets Ruby's beast had up its sleeves

"Um…" Ruby tried to say, but didn't know what to say from this as he handed the weapon to her. She took it as it formed back into its concealed form. "Thank you, but why?"

"P-Peace, t-treaty…work…in…p-progress." Jungle hunter answered with his actual voice as it was deep and somewhat scratchy

"Thanks Jungle hunter, really thanks." Ruby replied back kindly as Jungle hunter nodded back slowly, but before any of them could move suddenly the girls keyblades summoned themselves into the girl's hands. Then the weapon Jungle hunter handed Ruby floated into the air where the it glowed along the keyblades blinding everyone for a moment. Once the light died down, the girls keyblades took on an interesting look as they were now one sided spears of sorts

Ruby's keyblade was now a red painted spear, with a black handle, a white spear tip in the shape of a single rose petal, black highlights around the red parts of the spear and at the end of the spear was her keychain. Weiss keyblade was snow white with an ice blue handle, an icicle shaped spear tip, ice blue highlights and had her keychain at the end of the spear.

Blake's keyblade was black, with a white handle, a spear tip that look like two car ears, white highlights and at the end of her spear her keychain dangled. Lastly Yang's keyblade was a yellow spear with a brown handle, a flame shaped spear tip, orange highlights while her keychain dangled at the end of her spear. The girls all looked at their keyblades in awe, as the voice came back once more.

"Keyblade spear mode acquired." The voice stated as the girls were starting to wonder what else their keyblades could do, but just then a swarm of monkey heartless appeared before them and surrounded the group

"Well we didn't find any clues for the keyhole, but we did find some heartless. Ready ladies?" Blake asked as she readied her weapon in its new spear form

"Ready!" Ruby, Blake and Yang happily answered as they readied their keyblade spears, while Jungle hunter growled, reading his wrist blades along with the weapon on his shoulder. Jaune meanwhile readied his sword and shield

"Let's do this, CHARGE!" Ruby yelled out as she and the others lunged at the heartless, while the heartless lunged back at them

As the battle commenced Jungle hunter rammed one his wrist blades into two of the monkey heartless that began struggling to release themselves, while he also grabbed another one by the throat and broke its neck. He then dropped the body as his shoulder mounted weapon shoot off a ball of plasma like energy, taking out an unlucky monkey heartless that was hit right through its chest. Once that was done, he flung off the two struggling monkey heartless into a tree where there spins could be heard breaking from the impact; then he charged off at a few more monkey heartless that were in his range of view. As that happened the girls were quickly learning how to use their keyblades new spear forms.

"Take this you jerks!" Ruby yelled out as she jabbed her spear into the ground, then used the handle to perform a 360 kick spin maneuver. Sending a few of the heartless back, she then pulled her now dubbed keyspear out of the ground; then stabbed it into another monkey heartless that tried lunging at her from the side. Ruby then pulled the spear out quickly and swung the ended of the spear head into the monkey heartless head sending it into another unsuspecting monkey heartless. Ruby took a quick breather before looking ahead of her to see even more monkey heartless head towards her, so Ruby casted a few blizzard spells; which hit a few of the monkey heartless charging at her. But the rest were coming in too fast for her to hit with another spell accurately, so she readied her keyspear. But as the monkey heartless were a few inches away from her, Weiss, Blake and Yang jumped in and took the small group out with their spears quickly. Then they looked back at Ruby with wide smiles

"Glad that your safe little sis." Yang happily stated as Ruby smiled back and joined up with them

"Thanks girls, but I could have taken them just to say." Ruby stated with a smirk as she and faced forward to more of the monkey heartless that were advancing towards them

"We know you could dear, but we wanted to help anyways." Weiss replied back to her girlfriends as Ruby giggled

"Ladies I think our company is getting closer." Blake remarked as the first few monkey heartless lunged at them, but the girls all rammed their spears through their necks. Then without hesitation they lowered their keyspears and ran towards the rest of the advancing monkey heartless, impaling each of them with their spears. By the time the girls ceased their charge, around four to six heartless were impaled through the neck, head or chest by the girls keyspears. With only the monkey heartless stabbed through the chest struggling to get free

"That was fun, you know other than the whole being attacked thing." Weiss said with a slight grin

"I have to agree with you Weiss, still we have some pests still stuck on our weapons." Blake replied back kindly as she and the girls glared at the monkey heartless still alive as by this point the ones stabbed through the chest or head had disappeared into black smoke

"Girls if we will." Ruby said as Weiss, Blake and Yang nodded as they pulled their blades out in a quick motion, taking out the last of the impaled heartless. Once that was done with they noticed most of the monkey heartless had been dealt with, along with seeing Jaune finishing off a monkey heartless by cutting off its head with his sword. As Jaune took a breather, he looked back to see the girls and nodded as he made his way up to them

"What…what were those things?" Jaune asked with a fake tone of confusion as he knew Maleficent would be a bit peeved with him for having to kill some of her heartless. But she would be only peeved for a few minutes until she realized that he had to so, so that he could keep his cover with the girls

"Those were heartless Jaune, monsters of darkness and all sorts of other evils." Weiss answered as suddenly one last monkey heartless came out of nowhere and lunged at them, but before the monkey could even make it half it suddenly stopped mid air much to the groups confusion. Until Jungle hunter appeared with his clock deactivating, showing that the monkey heartless had been impaled by his wrist blades. As the the others watched, Jungle hunter's mask suddenly emitted three laser dots which hit to center of the struggling monkey heartless head. His shoulder mounted cannon then aimed itself where the lights were at

"Jungle hunter wha-" Ruby was about to ask, but was cut off as Jungle hunter fired of his plasma cannon. The result was that she and the rest of the group saw a brutal demise of the monkey heartless head which blew up into pieces of darkness, as the body dissipated into smoke a moment later. Though there was no blood along with the victim being a heartless, it was still gruesome to see "Oh…."

"GRRRAAA!" Jungle hunter roared out in victory as the sound echoed throughout the jungle making some of the wild life scatter in fear from the beastly sound

"Well at least we know he can have some fun when fighting." Yang stated to make the uneasiness calm down a little as Weiss, Blake and Jaune looked at her with raised eyebrow "Yeah…yeah I know he makes me uneasy still."

"Well like he said when he gave us his spear. It's a work in progress." Ruby stated with a sheepish grin looking back at the girls and Jaune, though she also was trying her best not to throw up a little from Jungle hunters kill. Even if it was just a heartless, she then looked back at Jungle hunter who turned around himself and was staring down at her waiting for what she had to say "Hey buddy, good job…yeah. For real though thanks a bunch, mind if you stay out a little longer so you can lead us back to the camp. I don't think that we'll find any clues for the keyhole today and I think I can speak for the rest of us here, but I believe none of us want to go in any further into this jungle. Right?"

"Defiantly." Weiss, Blake, Yang and Jaune answered quickly as Ruby giggled

"There's your answer, so you good with that Jungle hunter?" Ruby kindly asked as Jungle hunter just nodded and started to make his way into the direction the camp was. Mostly he made an educated guess since Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Jaune had been walking a continuous straight line. So he continued his path, passing the others though he did stop for a moment and nodded his head with a silent message of his saying 'Follow me.'; with that he continued on his path back to the camp

"I guess we follow him, ladies after you." Jaune said with a kind tone, though in all honesty he was trying his best not to throw up yet again from having to act so nice to team RWBY. Along with the fact he wanted to distance himself from Jungle Hunter as much as possible, since the beast seemed to be onto his true attentions

"Why thank you Jaune, how kind of you. You know your baby is going to have such a great child hood!" Ruby stated happily as Weiss, Blake and Yang nodded in agreement. Then followed in behind Jungle hunter. Jaune followed in behind last as he glared at the girls, though he glowed a quick dark aura as his eyes went a demonic orange and his hair turned dark silverfish grey for just a moment

-Camp site entrance-

"For the love of all that is holy, why does it seem that walking back is harder than when we were exploring. That makes no sense at all, don't you girls agree?" Weiss asked in a tired tone as she, Blake, Yang and Jaune were all exhausted from the walk back to the camp

"It wasn't that far, I mean look at me. I'm still energetic to no end!" Ruby joyfully replied as she as skipping behind Jungle hunter who hadn't shown any signs of fatigue himself

"Easy…for you to say….Ruby…" Jaune responded back as he and the rest stopped walking "Your… your use to this stuff."

"Yeah I guess so, but at least we made it back to the camp. Speaking of which Jungle hunter, you should get back into the summon gem. Not that we don't want you out well me anyways, but the people here haven't probably ever see someone…like you to say. Also you've earned a rest big guy." Ruby kindly suggested as Jungle hunter just nodded, then with that Ruby took out her summon gem and a bright light shinned for a few moments before dying down. Showing Jungle hunter was back in the gem as Ruby placed the gem back in her pocket "So let's see how the others have been doing."

"Sounds like a plan." Yang responded back as oddly enough singing and music could be heard , but then it just stopped suddenly

"That doesn't sound good." Blake said worriedly as she and the rest ran into the center of the camp to see it wrecked beyond belief. Along with the Tarzan, Ikail, Dante, Guin, Donald, Goofy, Tantor, Terk, a bunch more of the gorillas and Jane all standing around one another in silence

"Girls, over here!" Ikail yelled out loud enough that only team RWBY and a confused Jaune could hear as they made their way over to her and the rest

"What happened, for real were gone for a while and we come back to this?" Weiss quietly asked with a wide eyed look

"We'll explain later Weiss, trust me it's… it's a lot to explain." Donald answered as the girls suddenly realized that Jaune hadn't ever meet the others yet

"WH-" Jaune was about to yell out, but was stopped Blake who placed her hands over his mouth quickly

"Jaune these are our friends. Donald is the duck, Goofy is the dog, Guin is the one with the leopard mask, Dante is the man and Ikail is the woman. Everyone else this is Jaune, one of friends we've been looking for." Blake explained quietly as Jaune awkwardly waved to team RWBY's friends ,while they waved to Jaune

"Nice to meet you." Guin quietly said as he looked to Dante who looked back at him, both men silently nodding to each other as they could sense something off about Jaune. He looked nice enough, but there was something about the boy that just didn't sit well with either men. Though they just decided to keep quiet about it, for now at least

"Anyways, I think something is about to happen." Weiss stated as she pointed to Jane and Terk looking at one another. The other gorillas and Tantor stayed by the side lines along with the others. Tarzan though looked at Terk and nudged her to go see Jane up close. With that Jane and Terk slowly walked up to each other, amazed at the sight of one another

"I have to admit this is heartwarming." Dante stated in a whisper

"Defiantly I mean look at them, they seem so...oh...oh my…" Weiss said quietly as she, along everyone else not facing Janes direction saw Kerchak appeared suddenly behind Jane

"Not good one bit." Donald quietly remarked as Jane stopped looking at Terk as she felt air push again the back of her neck from what sounded like a snort. She slowly turned around to see Kerchak staring at her

"Oh my-" Jane began to say, but was cut off a moment later

"RWAR!" Kerchak roared while standing on his legs and pounding his chest making Jane drop to the ground in fear

"Oh god...oh god..." Jane muttered in absolute fear as she held up a spoon in front of her for protection, which Kerchak looked at seeing his own reflection for the first time while Jane continued to pray for her life

"Wait don't hurt her!" Ruby yelled out as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang all instinctively summon their keyblades, getting the attention of the gorillas who stared at them quizzically. Then some other gorillas came from behind Kerchak, including a confused Kala. Kerchak then just looked at Tarzan and the other gorillas with him, nudging his head to follow him along with the fact that the voices of Clayton, Professor Archimedes and Huang could be heard now

" I..." Tarzan muttered as Kerchak and the others passed by him. Tantor followed, using his trunk to pick up Terk quickly. Then Kala stopped next to him and took his arm to take him into the jungle. Tarzan meanwhile kept his gaze on Jane

"Don't...Don't go..." Jane muttered as moments later Tarzan disappeared back into the jungle

"Well that went over well." Yang stayed with a frown

"Gawrsh, we should go follow them." Goofy suggested as the others nodded in agreement

"Good plan Goofy, but a few of us should stay here." Ruby said

"If that's the case me, Ikail, Donald, Blake and Yang will go." Dante suggested as he looked back to them "If that works for you ladies and gentlemen of course."

"Sure no problem, Ruby, Weiss, Goofy, Guin you all stay safe here okay?" Yang replied back kindly

"No problem Yang, besides we got Goofy and Guin to help keep us safe." Ruby responded happily

"You got that right, don't worry me and Guin will keep em safe. I promise." Goofy proudly said as he did a salute, but forgot he had his shield still equipped and hit himself against the head

"Ouch, you okay Goofy?" Blake asked with a worried tone as Goofy got his sense back and just did his trademark laugh. Getting Blake and the rest to smile "That's a yes then."

"Though I will say the same goes for you Dante, I know Ikail, Blake and Yang can take care of themselves. But I want you and Donald to or your best well." Weiss kindly stated as Dante chuckled

"Well keep em safe Weiss, that's a promise!" Donald proudly said as Weiss and Ruby smiled

"Yes none of you worry, in my honor as a Templar. I'll keep them safe no matter what as well." Dante said as he did a bow, but Ikail took advantage of this and pinched him in the butt. Making Dante straighten back up quickly as he looked at Ikail "Why must you do that?"

"Sorry can't resist is all." Ikail explained with a hint of blush on her cheeks. Which only team RWBY took notice of, but didn't say anything about it since Claytons, Professor Archimedes and Huang's voices were getting pretty loud

"Okay you get going now, we'll see if we can help Jane with the explanations." Ruby said as Dante, Ikail, Donald, Blake and Yang nodded, then made their way off into the jungle where Tarzans band was heading through

"So... who's goes first with the explaining?" Jaune asked with a fake nervous tone as he helped Jane back up to her feet

"Ah..."Ruby began to say, but stopped as she didn't know the answer to that. Along with the fact that Clayton, Professor Archimedes and Huang had made their way into the camp

"The hell happened here?" Huang asked as Ruby, Weiss, Donald, Guin, Jaune and Jane looked at one another them back at the group of men with sheepish grins

"Well..." Ruby, Weiss, Goofy, Guin, Jaune and Jane said as they then began to try and explain what happened. Though for Ruby, Weiss, Goofy and Guin; they wondered how long this was going to be before they find the keyhole in this world. Along with the sudden uneasy feeling that something was going to happen soon, what that was none of them knew. But they could guess it would involve a lot of heartless

---

Well there's the end of this chapter, yeah for one I know this has a few scenes not involving our main cast. But I did this to put some different perspective in, to show what's happening while team RWBY and their friends are trying there quickest to find the keyholes. But don't worry, the next chapter will be more team RWBY and friends focused. Also how did you all like some or the stuff I added in. Well until the next chapter, I wish you all a wonderful day!
