Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of A Lingering Ember. Enjoy the 6800-word chapter. I do not own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.

(Mistral.)

The explosion sent a shockwave large enough to crater a decent portion of the forest. He had not been able to think of what was going on and he had no greater issue for now.

Ollie was to his feet in one moment, folding his sword under him as he unfurled it from his cane… Phantom was a crappy name for a sword and he would name it something else.

He tapped the weapon on the ground, knowing more and more with each passing moment… He had far too much to see and do… Well, for him to do at the end of the day, he had been bored now.

Ollie clicked his tongue and then strode forwards into the camp, only pausing to slash both across the back as they looked around.

"Trivia!" Ollie yelled only for a barrage of gunfire to be directed at him. "Crap…" Ollie said before he blinked.

The bullets all slammed directly into Hush, reminding the girl that she had been just as powerful as most of her soldiers. She flicked the umbrella, tossing every single bullet to the ground as they rolled to the ground.

Ollie sighed and looked at her with a smile.

"Thank you," Ollie said before he pointed towards the ship with his weapon. "We should go…. There is going to be a huge swarm of Grimm going and I know the crate is on the ship…. Let us get the hell out of her." Ollie stated.

He sighed, knowing damn well they would be facing the music. All of it bothered him, he had NOTHING but an anger on his tongue and a desire to rip these people apart.

Ollie strode back with her following, pausing to slash one member of the Crown down before pausing to slam another to the ground as he and she were beset by more of the group.

Perhaps it was due to some unneeded skill, some small desire to be superior to what he had been able to deal with for now… It was going to be fun, very fun at the end of the day.

Perhaps he could go into the afterlife laughing and then thinking more and more fascinated with it all.

He wanted a fight and knew more and more that a fight was the last thing he could have possibly stated, he was going to die in combat today… Perhaps. He was not to be trifled with, knowing what was going on and he would be unable to deal with.

Such a thing was honestly chaotic, to begin with. They would fight and he would win, he had no real desire to not win for now, a chaos which he had been able to deal with for now at the end of the day.

He sighed and looked at her as they continued to be ready for their next fight. He knew they had to strike fast and hard and that that would be fun enough for the time being.

There were a lot more explosions as more and more gunfire seemed to be directed at them… There was a lot more to deal with for now. He had been ready to go laugh and yet?

He acted in whatever was going on before he was forced to turn to the side before another explosion washed over them.

"There is more of them than we think… We need to thin the herd." Ollie stated before he sighed. "Triv? We need to go… You and I are going to blow up their dust stockpile." Ollie said as he sighed.

He knew more and more that there were far too many enemies for them to be dealing with. The second they stopped to try and fight them off? They would be surrounded and gunned down without mercy… So? Ollie decided to turn to Trivia.

"Use your semblance… We are making a big explosion." Ollie said.

She grinned but he would yet to see it. she wanted to do so but she would leave the carnage to what was coming and what was to come.

They would all die but it was only a matter of how painfully and how violently they would be consumed by fire… If nothing else? She was to be through now.

She yanked him to the craft, dropping an illusion behind them as they went. Both wanted out and both were to be willing.

She sighed, knowing what was coming but wanting out in the most obvious way. She used her umbrella to flick open the canopy and climbed in with him.

There were still bullets as screams began to ring out, the roar of familiar Grimm seemed to be coming into existence. Ollie knew them as Beowolves and Creeps… He was only banking on the idea of no Nevermores or flying Grimm coming to reinforce them.

He had been too preoccupied to notice Trivia start the controls before Ollie blinked.

"I would tell you where the guns are… But I am going to assume you already know where the guns are?" Ollie asked to which he could guess for now.

He could only seem to be smirking as their craft took off, Ollie sighed and shook his head.

"I am going to murder Maroon if we are sent on another one of these damn missions anytime," Ollie stated before he sighed.

Even he could not win a damn fight with this sort of thing now. He had a lot more to try and bring to the table, knowing it would be too chaotic for him to deal with it now.

He did not wish to prove himself so he decided to deal with it, for now, she had been too interested in the next movement. She had been dealt with until it came crashing down on the road which would not be dealt with before he sighed to himself.

He had not the ability to think, only to act once more as it came crashing down to the ground.

He had not been able to deal with it at the end of the day, not when he was able to try and figure out such a thing.

Perhaps he would find some way to figure it all out, knowing what was going on.

She had fallen silent and she crossed her arms before she looked over to Ollie who was silent as their ship slowly started to keep growing tired.

"You, ok?" Ollie asked before Trivia paused. "You are, ok? Because we need to get out of here… Now." Ollie said as he sighed before Trivia playfully poked him on the nose.

Ollie only rolled his eyes which he knew were too damaged to work as she clicked her fingers once more.

The bullhead finally crashed through the smoke, going faster and faster which even meant he tried to figure something out as she paused.

Trivia yawned and leaned against Ollie as the Bullhead seemed to speed up. He had been too exhausted in what he would do next and he was too bored to argue with her.

Ollie had been too amused by Trivia as they continued to fly away. The Crown was destroyed in this location and he would not seem to be ready to try and figure something out.

Trivia looked at Ollie as she sat next to him, pausing to think of what was growing to be happening next before she seemed to be dealing with it while Ollie paused to try and think of what she did next.

Trivia seemed to be dealing with it to the best of their abilities as she sighed to herself before she seemed to be dealing with it before she sighed to try and think of what she did next.

She sighed as she put it on autopilot, she had not been familiar with it and she would need to be familiar with it for now as she paused to think of it at the end of the day.

She was too interested in what would keep growing between them as time went onwards. She would not be able to relax and neither would he, there was too much to try and deal with and she knew him enough to know what was going on.

She had been familiar with it until the end and she would always be familiar with it until it came crashing into the ground.

She paused to let it all come crashing down before she came down to relax once more, interested in what was going to overcome for now as she paused to think of what was going on before it all came down to it.

Ollie seemed to be prepared for when she got over to deal with it before it was all over her head before she seemed to be dealing with it as she sighed once more.

What he did do next? It would not be enough, not yet and not before it all came crashing down onto the ground, he seemed to be relaxed for now as he paused to try and deal with it at the end of the day.

The craft finally managed to clear the massive camp. They slowly started to think of the next maneuver he could manage and he was not going to be able to relax, lest he fall apart now.

Ollie felt Trivia lean against him, she had not been able to relax around him. He had not been able to try and deal with it now, a mannerism which he had not been familiar with.

"You know that we are going to be screwed over sooner or later. The more we struggle? The more we end up dealing with something beyond our control. The crown is going to hunt us down eventually." Ollie said as she leaned against his side.

She had been too silent, not vocally… But she was far quieter than usual and it worried him.

"I am not mad at you." He signed.

"I know." Trivia signed. "Don't do something stupid again," Trivia stated.

"Then do not do something where I worry about you. we are a team; teams do not do that. They fight back-to-back, you know that. It is what we are designed to do… It is what is going to work." Trivia heard.

She sighed before she realized Ollie had a point, he said to kill some people and then get back to the back.

"You should know what is going on. We are not going to have the most peaceful life… This sort of thing will not be very common… Mainly because we are going to be suffering if we do not end this." Ollie stated before she paused.

She would not be able to deal with it. Trivia was familiar with fighting but she was obviously out of her element, she was too relaxed and she was not possibly as ruthless as before.

She had been familiar with combat at least before now and yet? He did not understand her at the end of the day, such was life and such life was good.

Ollie leaned back in his seat before Trivia did as well. She had been tired, thrown off, and unable to deal with it now.

Ollie sighed and felt tired either way. They felt safe and secure either way which helped calm and steady his nerves. Ollie was not going to let it come crashing to the ground either way.

He was still tired, still annoyed, still unable to deal with it. There was a lot more to see and do, he would not allow it and such was to have to deal with it.

She had been too interested in what was going on, knowing what was to come next, an ideal little plan which was to have to deal with either way at this moment.

Such would not be dealing with it as it came down to something he could not manage, he would not have been able to deal with it for now as he paused to let it come down to it. He had no idea of what was going on as he paused, thinking of what was growing on his mind.

He sighed, watching it slowly fall to pieces, he had to do something to fix that, or else he might just scream.

Trivia looked at her friend as Ollie hummed, not knowing what to say or even do.

"It only gets tougher from here." Trivia heard from Ollie as he frowned. "I am not lying about that at all, one of us is going to suffer when it comes down to it. We both know the Crown is not going to be the only enemy to deal with," Ollie stated before he sighed.

He did not honestly wish to lie, he had been unfamiliar with it, unwilling to let it die. She clung to him a few seconds later as he paused, not letting it rest as he sighed, letting himself relax.

He wrapped an arm protectively around her, knowing that she was too naïve to let her be hurt. If something or someone happened to her? He would kill them and rip them in half.

"Easy, Triv. I want to help you… Trust me, I told you 20 times to run away so only I get in trouble. I am more worried about what is going to happen now that they know you exist." Ollie stated.

He had not been able to relax, to see it all come to an end as he paused to let him all come in as he thought of it.

First? They visited Maroon and he thought of if he ripped the man's head from his shoulders. Then? He and her find somewhere to lay low as it is the only way he could have possibly done so.

"You, ok?" Trivia signed before she hummed.

"No, I do not think I am… I am too tired, too worn down. I want to go home when it came to an end." Ollie stated before he sighed to himself and then looked to the ground.

She had not been able to try and deal with it as she paused to try and deal with it. She had known him for a short time but she cared about him and that meant trying to know him in her way, for she had known what was going on for now.

Whatever was growing on his mind was harder to deal with it as she paused to let it all come crashing down. Trivia clung to him like he was a toy she had tried to cling to like he was a toy.

Perhaps it would end well but he had to end it eventually and that came the problem which he had tried and failed to have to hide either way when it all came crashing down to the ground in a ball of fire.

Ollie was silent for a few moments; he had been relaxed for now as she paused to let it all come crashing down to it once more.

She had been dealing with as much trauma for now, she had been deciding it in stone as she paused. She let it come down to it as of now, she had been relaxed enough to let it all come to a head.

She laid her head on his shoulder, guessing what was coming down the line. She knew this was only going to get harder and harder, she knew it would end with betrayal and death, she could tell none of it would be for anything noble. She had no desire to let that happen.

No, even if she had to squeeze even every single little damn drop from it, she had no clue what was going on but she did not care, she had no reason to, if she could be with Ollie? She did not care if she had to carve through every single little being in her way.

Ollie simply felt the ice cream-haired girl's head atop his chest, guessing she was scared, it made sense for him considering that he had been to the end and he could not let it be, knowing what was coming and what would be going.

Yes, it was clear he would be suffering without it all coming to a head. He had been able to think as he cracked his fingers, not once did he want it to end like this.

Not once did he flinch, knowing what would come and not wanting a single bit of effort to slip through his hands, he was amused before he relaxed once more as he sighed, letting himself think for now.

She had been able to deal with it for now as she paused to let himself think.

She had been willing to try and figure it out before she paused to let it end for now as she had been able to think of what was to happen.

She seemed to be thinking of her next move now, she had been able to think of what the next move was to try and deal with it for now as she was ready to think.

Ollie simply let the craft seem to fly forwards, he had been prepared for the time ahead. She seemed to be prepared for the next move as well, she would not let it all come down to the end.

She had been able to think and so had he, she was clearing it all out either way, she was letting it end the way she had let it all end either way.

The chaos forming in her mind was solace enough, nothing would be a good enough prize for now and nothing would inspire her the way it had already. She knew this well enough to have been happy.

He was not happy, not yet, not without good reasons. he had to let it all come toppling down lest he manage to break it, he had to let it crash and burn or else he might smash it.

To be fair? Ollie could tell he was not the hero here, there was so much to unpack… To let it all end? Yes, he would let it all end as doing so was all he could manage.

Ollie hummed and hugged her to his chest. The road ahead would be very long and very painful and they were going to need to occur. Even at the end of the day? There was nothing to have to figure out.

He sighed to himself, knowing whatever came next. He was screwed in some manner either way. It was only the idea of how much… And in what direction it would need to take.

Still? He was a warrior; he would act as one and he knew more and more at the end of the day before he sighed as of now. He clicked his fingers, knowing what was going on and not wanting to let it end.

She had been quiet enough, knowing that it would not end either way, she and he would be able to deal with more and more as she sighed to try and deal with it best.

She had been through the wringer for now, knowing what was happening either way. She had been eager to fight.

Ollie hummed with amusement before he sighed, letting it all end.

"We are going to pay him some attention, we need to end it for now… There are a lot of things to deal with for now." Ollie sighed and then he yawned, humming to himself. "There will be more bad guys than the crown, I want you to notice it… Not that we cannot handle them." Ollie stated

He had been silent enough to have relaxed, he knew what was going on, he knew that if anything? Their journey forwards would be had to deal with for now as he relaxed to have to deal with.

Ollie hummed, for now, thinking of what was going on. She knew what would come down to it as of now.

She could have been dealing with it for now, she had no real desire to end it, knowing what was coming.

"We are going to war, Neo. I just want you to know that. We are going to war and we might not be able to make it." Ollie stated.

Ollie sighed as she hummed, almost appearing to purr. This girl was something else, he knew that, to begin with.

She was easily torn down but she also got back up quickly, whatever brought her down the first time? It would not survive a second time.

The best time that it would end with for now as it came down to it now, she would not allow such a thing was harder to have to deal with it.

She would not let it end for now as it came down to them. It would be all she wanted, all she could stomach between them, knowing what was going on.

Neo sighed, knowing that she could not wait. She had to cut loose for now, knowing what was going on when it was all said and done, each little piece of amusement on his mind when it was all said.

She sighed, cutting through the end of it sooner or later. There was something there, something which needed to be addressed.

"You are a warrior, aren't you? You were not telling me the truth when it came down to it, didn't you?" Ollie asked.

"Maybe~…" Trivia signed in a way that told him it was more than what such a maybe had suggested for them now.

Ollie simply sighed, knowing what was going on, now once allowing them to have something on. He clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth with each little second.

He knew damn well that Trivia was not normal, nobody on this planet was exactly normal when push came to shove but it was clear to her that such a thing would be impossible to think about knowing that, guessing it.

Still? He cared enough to be protective as he was a warrior and he could afford to be one now.

He could not tell if such would be odd enough, knowing what was and what was not, knowing that could have changed the galaxy.

He sighed all the same, knowing that it would lead to more violence. All of it would lead to more violence as she clicked her fingers before she seemed to think of what was growing on before she wished to try and deal with it.

Trivia seemed to be dealt with for now as she paused to adjust her clothes. She hummed and folded her legs under her like a child who had been fed ice cream before their bedtime. It almost made her amused if she did not have to remind herself that she was almost 20.

It vexed her to no damn end she had to bow to such logic as that, knowing she could afford to do better, knowing what would come next.

She cursed her lot in life but was happy to have found Ollie. He was the one damn person who did not tie her down with rules and regulations, try to make her life living hell to begin with, knowing what would come next before now.

Such was hard enough. She had lived through her hell and she refused to bow to anyone in her path, some of it was enough to make her blood boil, knowing that enough would become harder and harder.

All of it seemed to be bothering her more than usual. She wanted something and it did not help that most of them were torn down.

She had to let it all end eventually sooner or later when push came to shove. It always came to shove, something which would not be allowed, would not be over anytime soon, knowing that was enough, knowing what would come.

She leaned against him as their ship finally escaped and fled across the ocean. Ollie sighed and wrapped the coat's arms around her waist, knowing that she cared enough to help him at the end of the day.

There was a lot of chaos here. She cared and so did he, he cared enough to spare her this but she cared enough to dance on fire for him, and that made her a friend.

She had no few friends and he had no many enemies. It was a web, one which was shared despite best efforts to fix it at the end of the day. This chaos was not at all done for now, wishing to let it all end sooner or later.

There was more to this, chaos that needed to be dealt with for now. She hummed to let herself think as their craft slowly started to fly toward the ocean.

He hummed as the craft flicked over the ocean, pausing only for him to sigh.

"I want you to know that whatever fight happens next? We might suffer and we might die… But we are going down together?" Ollie asked to which she traced a yes. "First we go mess with Maroon?" Ollie asked before he raised an eyebrow.

He hummed and then looked to the ground, knowing what would come next, there was only pain and suffering on his mind as he was forced through the wringer.

'I do not even know what she will become at the end. This war is going to consume us all and she even know what it was, there was a lot of work to take them apart.' Ollie stated.

Ollie hummed, there was something else… The chaos needed to be dealt with for them to win. He did not know what would be dealt with as he clicked his fingers, pausing.

Ollie was silent, he was determined to be better than this and to fight and cut through it to the end.

There was something else on his mind as he clicked his fingers. The soldier in him knew what was going on, he was prepared only for a fight and he tapped his cane on the floor, knowing that the next fight would be much harder to figure out.

This would not be easy to discover, not yet. Trivia smirked over at him. She could tell very well what was going on and not wishing to relax for now as it came down to it.

There was a lot more to this now, that might not change now and it might not change later when all was the way said and done with it all being over with for now.

Trivia was ready for war and he was ready to fight within it for the time being, happy to have an enemy now. There was a lot more to try and deal with for now as he clicked to himself.

The craft straightened out as Trivia engaged the autopilot… Ollie hummed as she paused and then finally seemed to straighten into the co-pilot seat.

"So… I am going to take a guess and ponder that you are not just some badass who happened to be waiting around for me to find them," Ollie stated. "Triv, I know when you and I met that you do not trust me and you do not like me… But considering we tried to fight an entire camp at once and just about won? I think we can at least talk openly… Unless you plan to slit my throat." Ollie said.

"I will not." Trivia typed.

"Good… Then my turn, I am kinda a huntsman… Not entirely… But I am kinda a warrior who went to one of their schools… I just did not exactly stick around since I did not like how they did things and my mom made some bad calls at the end." Ollie stated.

"So, you're a good guy?" Trivia signed.

"Kinda… I do not think huntsmen are criminals or anything like that to be fair… I am just a guy who wants to do something good on Remnant… Just I do not know what is going on when it comes to it." Ollie stated.

To be fair? He knew that it might just be stupid at the end of the day, he knew more and more whatever he wanted to do. They would be hunted to the end of the planet.

She looked at him, she probably guessed he thought little of him. She did not. Ollie was a lot of things, stupid, trusting, kind… But he was a friend, he did not see some monster that was growing in it for now.

All the pain? All the chaos seemed to be dealt with for now as she clicked her fingers and then looked to the ground and paused once more.

She would not be dealt with for now as it came down to it once more, the chaos which needed to be done with for now at the time being.

This chaos was a lot more than it as she seemed to be dealt with for now as it came crashing to the end. This pain would be dealt with for now as she clicked her tongue and then rested in the seat. She was tired, worn to the bone, and yet? She could act… She would not allow it.

No, she had given her life to protect another. She had found a home worthy of her best urges… One where she would stand and one where she would stay, knowing that was enough to give her the strength to push through this and answer the way it needed.

This all pushed her to a part she could not allow, a piece of the puzzle she did not wish to find. She would rip it all down if it meant she could and would help enough for her now, she wanted more chaos, more to revel in.

What little would become of them next? What is best for their next move? What would come next as they crashed into the ground? It would be harder and harder to figure out and none of them.

It was a lot harder than it looked. Trivia hummed as she looked over at them, knowing what was coming next.

Ollie sighed and finally undid the bandanna from his eyes yet again. He looked over at her before she paused to look to the side.

"It is going to be a while and even if this thing is full of combustion dust, we are going into war more and more. We are heading into the next battlefield either way, it is only a matter of time." Ollie stated before he looked to the side.

There was more in store for the duo and he damn well could tell she of all people was itching for a fight.

"Relax. You are going to tear yourself apart wanting a fight that damn bad. I want you to live, that means not throwing yourself into the damn fire. You die? I have that on my conscience." Ollie stated before he sighed.

He knew damn well she would not. She wanted war, she wanted a fight and it was clear she enjoyed it to the end for now.

She did not dare wish to end that war, not now and not without a good end. No, this girl wanted war and she would get it at the rate she blew through it for now.

Trivia leaned on his shoulder and he sighed and slowly stood up. Before Trivia could do anything? He pulled her from the seat, pulled her to his, retying the coat around her hips as he did so, and then strapped the seat belts around them.

"Sleep. I noticed you are comfortable there. I cannot fly the damn thing but I can type in where we must go. That is one reason I am fretting it." Ollie muttered. "That? And I am going to pass out soon. This thing is either going to land or we are crashing into the ocean." Ollie stated before he sighed.

He could only recall that their insanity would go deeper than this. He knew damn well what was going on and he liked it for now and that was good enough for him.

He had a lot of better things to be doing, a lot of things would go crashing back downwards now.

This was a lot harder for it to be done with for now… He had so much more to see and to do, so much more to see and do. There were a lot of things that needed to be addressed after he screamed at Maroon for now.

That all seemed to be chaotic enough to punch holes in the entire sky… Punching holes in it across the area. That and that alone would hurt what he had going.

That and that alone was not going to be enough for him to fix it, not yet… No. He had to try and tear it down.

Trivia hummed, looking at him for a moment before she paused. She looked at her hands and then she looked downwards at him.

"I cannot see and you cannot talk… Yet I still feel funny, your family thinks people like us are garbage?" Neo heard as she paused.

She hummed; they had a very dim view of those sorts of people which was why they tried to cover up her eyes… Her semblance had taken what made her unique, what had given her the fire to exist in life like this.

She had to get the fire back even if it killed her… She would not let them tear that down from her.

"Ollie? Am I broken?" Ollie heard her sign.

"Broken? What do you mean broken? You are not broken… You are the only thing I think that is not broken in this world…" Ollie stated. "The only part of you that worries me is the secrets thing… Do you want to be stabbing Crown members? Fine… Just tell me you are a secret badass who can rip apart bad guys so I do not worry about one of them getting to you, ok?" Ollie asked.

Trivia fell silent, she did not know if she could keep that promise, much less try, and carry it from where it had been left in the wind. Did she know damn well that if anything? She cared enough to at least attempt to honor that request.

It was a friend, she nestled into his chest, feeling warmth. She felt she might not want to leave his side, knowing that her father would not let Ollie free if he knew that the thief existed.

She had thrown him at the end of a very long and very painful line, enjoying that would not end at the end of the day.

He had a lot more to try and figure out as he seemed to be dealt with one way or another. It would eventually and that meant dealing with either way, the work would be done, it was on that day.

Yes, sooner? Later? It would break, it had to break eventually or else she would be fighting for nothing. She held herself close to him as if he would break and shatter the second something went wrong with it all. There was chaos here and a lot of things to say and do.

It was only going to end when she let it all end. Perhaps when she died, it would… There was nothing left to see and do at the end of the day, no more than that and nothing less than that.

It was going to be fun to break apart but it meant very little to her now, knowing that would come crashing down to it now or else it would all break.

He would not be able to try and figure it out once more, something for now, something he could not pretend was less important.

He knew more and more that Trivia was going to war with the galaxy. The crime groups, the cops…. Even if he wanted to? It would not seem to matter much. There was silence at every step.

He held it to be superior, to be beyond what was growing in his mind.

He had been dragged into something he wanted to be kept out of no matter what. No matter what? He did not want to be dragged into this no matter what.

He had been done with it, he had been done with it and he wanted to rest. The world had taken it from it for now and he did not know when it came down to what was coming next, even that, and that alone would not be good enough to stop.

There were a lot of things he would not fathom if he was not here to figure it out at all.

He yawned to himself and then watched as Trivia leaned on the side of him, making him sigh.

"Ok…. You are going to sleep there even if I get up at the end of the day…. I am going to pass out, I am going to be tired." Trivia heard as she looked to the side.

Ollie was silent, he did not know what happened next now, even if he tried his hardest to figure it then before he looked to the ground.

Well, tried to think of what was happening now. There was a piece of chaos that needed to be done once again. Even he could not predict what would happen next for that would be like trying to go insane.

He held it insanely into what needed to be done, he needed to find more than this, much more and it would do no good other than to be dunked and to be submerged within waves and droves of madness.

Whatever hatred did he hold? What would be beholden to it?

Trivia was a lot of things and he worried if she was half of them. Nobody could stop her, not him, not her family. No. It was to be a masterwork of epic proportions which not even he could see coming. It rang very hollow and very soon, too soon for even it to be dealt with now.

He would have held up whatever needed to be done so… Even if it did not need to be done? This did need to end before it all came tumbling down into the waste with everything collapsing on top of it.

That and that alone would stop her as she found more power, it might not save her but it would not help so much as would not go much anywhere it needed to have been at this very moment.

Either it would end or he would end everything. The only way forwards were for him to break everything in his path, everything he could break, and everything he held in his way.

What he did not wish to do was try and screw around, knowing if he did so at all? Well, it would cost them very much.

Trivia yawned and wrapped her arms around him as they flew ahead, part of him questioned what she would want if she was so powerful. He could not offer much considering she pretty much owned a lot of power. That? And the fact he was not as powerful told him something.

She was a lot stronger than she looked and he was a LOT more scared of that now and he knew it, he knew a lot more with each passing moment before he watched as she grew tired.

To be fair? He could not let it all end now, knowing this was going to have been something fantastic now. He wished to have known it.

"You're very quiet when you are planning." Trivia signed.

"You plan to beat bad guys aloud?" Ollie sighed to which she giggled.

He almost pondered how she existed, even just comparing the size of their hands. She was smaller than him by a decent amount yet she could probably snap him in half like he was made from cardboard.

Still? She was nice, she was a friend. Around her? He felt like he was not alone in the world at times even if he kinda was.

And yet, he was going to have to fight a lot of things which he needed to get in order…. This was going to be one of them either way.

Author Note

Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that this chapter is much longer for a reason. The next chapter is going to be shorter and such. The next chapter will also show more of Trivia and Ollie back at their base and talking to Maroon. Until the 900–6500-word chapter in 2-10 months, Lighting Wolf out!
