Jason's Aura came back, and Jason disappeared into his shadow, popped out of Jokers shadow and axe kicked Joker with a booster powered kick that cut the bastard in half.

Jason staggered to his feet, groaning as his Aura failed again and tried walking only to fall down. "See you in hell mother fucker." He gasped out. "Last one there wins."

Jason pushed himself up and staggered towards the warehouse when he was tackled to the ground and punched with a punch that made Scott's look like a love tap.

Looking up he saw the Faunus, only to realize that it wasn't a Faunus at all...

It was a Grimm.

"What are you?" He gasped.

The Grimm snarled, grabbed him by the throat, and threw him towards the Warehouse.

His Aura activated just as he hit the wall and he crashed through. Looking around he heard Weiss before he saw her.

"JASON!"

"No!" He mumbled through a bout of pain. "Get out of here!" He struggled to say what he needed to say. "It's a Grimm!"

Jason's Aura flickered again, and he dropped Weiss into a shadow and moved her outside to safety.

The Grimm jumped in and punched Jason across the floor.

Jason jumped up and let everything but the need to protect Weiss and his child go. All of his restrictions, all of his restraints, the only thing he felt was the need to protect, and that allowed him to focus past the pain. He walked over to the Grimm and pulled out a weapon before spinning it in his hand so it faced the Grimm.

The Grimm jumped towards him, landing in a crouch before jumping up.

"You should have left when you had the chance. Now I'm going to kill you by ripping everything that makes you, you apart. I'm going to send you back to Salem in pieces, not dead, just in pieces.

The Grimm just growled at him.

Jason dropped into a fighting stance, his arms taut, but his muscles loose, ready to strike.

The Grimm was tense, but there was a certain level of... grace? to its movement.

Jason punched out at the Grimm before sending a Shadow Clone to attack it, giving him some distance from it until he could figure out what it's fighting style was like. His Shadow Clone disappeared, and he dropped into his shadow appearing behind the Grimm to attack, only for the Grimm to know what he was going to do and turned around to face him and struck out, knocking him into a pillar where his Aura failed.

The Grimm stalked towards him and struck him with an arm before growing four arms from its body and struck him. once from the side then from below, sending him into the air, and then smacking him down into the ground where he bounced.

His Aura came back, and he dove into a shadow before jumping out and delivered a Palm Strike into the Grimm sending it back before sending three of his Shadow Clones to attack in unison.

The Grimm got up and delivered a punch that he ducked, but one of its arms struck at him from his crouch. He dove into his shadow, but the Grimm was ready when he jumped out and punched him. He tried blocking it, but the punch was so hard that it distorted the air and his Aura flickered.

He spun around and delivered a Roundhouse kick to the Grimm that sent it flying backwards. The Grimm vaulted up and struck him four times with its arms and two of the arms that had grown out of the body. It grabbed him and slammed him into the ground.

Coughing up blood he wasn't able to stop the Grimm from delivering several blows that sent him flying into a pillar that activated his Aura again. He tried getting up, but the Grimm delivered a diving kick that knocked him into the floor, and it kicked him into another pillar causing his Aura to flicker again.

He got up and ducked under the Grimm's next two punches and punched the Grimm in the stomach hard enough to send it flying. His Aura activated and he grabbed it with a shadow arm before slamming it into the ground three times. He jumped in the air, trying to stomp it into the ground, but the Grimm swung an arm at him and sent him flying back causing his Aura to flicker again.

He landed on the ground, hard, and the Grimm jumped at him. He grabbed the Grimm and slammed it into the ground hard enough to crack the ground.

The Grimm crouched down, and Jason stalked towards the Grimm, his Aura activated, and he sent a Shadow Clone to Attack before he attacked, but the Grimm was learning to counter him. He was thrown back and the Grimm caught him before holding him in the air, and delivered another diving kick that turned into an onslaught of attacks that sent him into a pillar that caused his Aura to flicker. The Warehouse wasn't going to be able to be stable for much longer.

He tried getting up when the Grimm backhanded him hard enough to send him flying. He dove into a Shadow to gain some distance and stood ready. The Grimm walked towards him, and he stalked towards the Grimm attacking, delivering punch after punch until the Grimm was knocked to the ground and sent flying. He dove into a shadow and grabbed the Grimm before slamming it into the ground, hard enough to crack the ground.

The Grimm backed away and he jumped in the air, delivering a diving kick that knocked the Grimm back. The Grimm hit him with an arm and delivered an onslaught of its own.

He jumped up and thrashed the Grimm around before throwing the Grimm and the Grimm ran into the shadows.

"Do you honestly think you can beat me?" he asked, stumbling around the warehouse. "Just give up."

There was a sadistic laugh that echoed throughout the Warehouse. It was dark and evil. "You think that because you use the shadows you can beat me? You merely adopted the shadows, me? I was born from the shadows, bred by them. I call them my home."

The Grimm grabbed Jason and Slammed his back over its knee.

Jason dropped them both into a shadow and spit the Grimm out at the other side of the Warehouse before charging the Grimm.

The Grimm charged Jason and struck attacking him. It grabbed him and stabbed the arm protruding from its back into his side before throwing him. He dove into his shadow and out behind it only for the Grimm to attack him when he jumped out, sending him flying into a Pillar that caused his Aura to flicker. It grabbed him and slammed him into the ground before throwing him into another pilar that activated his Aura.

He tried catching his breath, but the Grimm wasn't going to give him that chance and charged him. He punched out but was countered. He dropped into his shadow and jumped in front of the Grimm, grabbing it and throwing it over his shoulder to the ground.

The Grimm began another onslaught only for Jason to drop it into his shadow and spit it out before punching it back in, spitting it out and kicking it away.

The Grimm stood up, swung its arms and grabbed Jason before slamming him into the ground and threw him to another section of the warehouse. Just how big was this warehouse?

Jason ran to a shadow Clone and jumped through, but from his Shadow Clone the Grimm jumped out and attacked him. It could use his own Semblance against him! The Grimm grabbed him and threw him.

They stood up again and Jason shook his head. He could feel the toll the fight was taking on his body. He needed to end it fast or he might actually die, and then Weiss would have to fight the Grimm. That thought caused his resolve to burn, rushing through his body, giving him the strength to keep fighting.

He took a step forward and lightning fast punched the Grimm in the face before palm striking it, sending it backwards. He followed the Palm Strike with a forward kick that offered the Grimm a chance to strike, jumping in the air the Grimm kicked at him, forcing him back. He blocked each kick until he let his Shadow Clone rush the Grimm. He dropped into his Shadow and appeared behind the Grimm, grabbing it he slammed it over his shoulder into the ground.

The Grimm rolled up and he felt his Aura disappear as it connected, causing him to stagger back and fall backwards. He pushed himself up with the momentum and punched the Grimm in the face before grabbing it and kneeing it in the face. He turned the knee into a kick and kicked the Grimm into the air before a Shadow Clone appeared from the ground and punched upwards, sending the Grimm backflipping.

He followed the Grimm, punching and kicking to keep it off balance and sent it flying.

The Grimm stood and kicked, sending him backwards. He skidded to a halt and rushed forward, returning the kick, sending the Grimm back before a Shadow Clone jumped out of its shadow and pushed it forward into Jason who clotheslined it, grabbed it by the neck and slammed it into the ground.

The Grimm snarled and created four spider like appendages on its back before swiping at him. Connecting, it took the chance to move forward and punch him before kicking him and grabbed him by the shoulders before throwing him into the air and slammed him into the ground with its spider like appendages.

He got up, blocked a strike, charged forward, punched it in the face twice before spin kicking it around and kicking it away. He dropped into his shadow, appeared behind the Grimm and suplexed it into the ground.

The Grimm stood and shook its head before glaring at Jason. Jason glared back. "Tell me," he said. "Do you feel fear?"

The Grimm just seemed to laugh a deep throaty laugh.

"Before I'm done with you, you will."

The Grimm and Jason charged each other, but Jason let a Shadow Clone attack first, giving him an opportunity to step out of the way of the Grimm's spider like appendage, but the Grimm followed, punched and sent Jason to the ground. Jason got up but the Grimm delivered a diving kick into his face that sent him skidding backwards. He jumped up and landed on the wall before launching himself at the Grimm who delivered an onslaught that only knocked him to the ground each time he tried to get up.

His muscles were screaming, begging for relief; relief that he couldn't give them. He stood up and the Grimm used it's spider like arms to throw him and continue its onslaught. He tried defending himself, but the Grimm was relentless.

He finally found an opening and took it, causing a Shadow Clone to punch the Grimm in the gut, he kneed the Grimm in the chin when it fell, and he punched the Grimm in the face. He would have broken something if the Grimm wasn't covered in a tar like substance. He launched the Grimm with the strength of his punch and sent a Shadow Clone to attack only for the clone to disappear halfway to the Grimm because his Aura failed. He charged the Grimm and delivered an Onslaught of his own, grabbing it's ankle and slamming it into the ground before throwing it and had a shadow clone punch it back to him before he punched it back to the Shadow Clone who slammed it into the ground with a double fist smash.

He jumped at the Grimm and delivered a diving kick that sent it skidding across the floor, and he delivered a quick series of punches before he slammed it into the ground, trying to rip it apart like he had Joker, but the Grimm disappeared into the shadows and cackled a deep gravely cackle.

This was it, Jason needed to finish off the Grimm here and now, and there was only one way that he could think to do that.

The Grimm attacked but Jason grabbed its arm and pulled it in close before a Shadow Clone held it in place and he jumped in the air, appearing behind the Grimm and slammed it into the ground hard enough to bounce. He punched the Grimm, keeping it moving backwards and sent it flying. The Grimm ducked and swung a spider like appendage at him causing him to duck and block.

He sent a Shadow Clone that disappeared with his Aura and so had to attack by himself. He punched and kicked, sending it back until it attacked, sending him flying. It grabbed him and threw him, he spun in midair, landed in a crouch and blocked the next attack only for it to break through his defenses. It grabbed him and held him up before slamming him into the ground. He rolled to his feet, blocked it's attacks and rolled behind it before slamming it into a wall causing the Warehouse to shake.

The Grimm attacked but he ducked and blocked it's next hit before punching it in the knee, causing the Grimm to stumble. The Grimm didn't seem to like that and raged, attacking him, not letting him get an attack or defense in until it grabbed him, body slammed him into the ground, suplexed him, and threw him into another wall, causing the Warehouse to shake unsteadily, and for debris to fall.

He stood up and shut off his sense of touch, and charged, delivering his own onslaught he kicked the Grimm before punching and kicking the Grimm with enough brute strength that the Grimm was forced back against the wall. He grabbed it and flung it over his head into a pillar and grabbed it, slamming it into the ground, causing it to bounce hard, he kicked it before a Shadow Clone jumped out of its shadow and punched it into the air before grabbing it and slamming it into the ground where it bounced again and he flipped and axe kicked it into the ground.

The Grimm stood up, but Jason didn't let up as he punched and kicked the Grimm before grabbing it's shadow and pulling it into his fist hard enough to send it flying into another pillar, causing the Warehouse to groan as it began collapsing.

The Grimm appeared out of a shadow, caught Jason and threw him. The Grimm had one advantage Jason didn't. It didn't seem to stay hurt. Meanwhile, he felt like he was going to collapse at any second. He needed to finish this, and fast.

The Grimm attacked and he evaded, mostly because his Shadow kept pulling him out of the Grimms path. He disappeared into a shadow appeared behind the Grimm, and grabbed it by the throat and pulled it over his shoulder, hoping the break the neck, but the Grimm went over his shoulder and slammed into the ground before Jason kicked it into the air.

The Grimm threw Jason with a spider like appendage and Jason stood up, shakily, and attacked back, pulling it by its shadow and punching it in the face hard enough to send it flying. He grabbed the Grimm, held onto it with Venom enhanced strength, used his shadow to grab the remaining pillars and pull them.

He looked around until he caught Weiss's scent and looked at her. "I'm sorry. I love you. Protect Frost."

"JASON!" Weiss shouted, anguish in every syllable.

He sniffed something else and swore as he could smell Scott and San. Scott was pulling against San, trying to reach him, and San was trying to pull Scott out of the warehouse. Jason tried dropping them into his Shadow and outside, but his Semblance failed, and the Warehouse collapsed on all four of them.


Weiss looked inside the warehouse and watched, frozen in terror as Jason and the Grimm seemed to fight for only five minutes before Jason looked towards her and mouthed something that she knew in her soul was: 'I'm sorry. I love you. Protect Frost.'

There was a terrible creaking sound as the Warehouse creaked and cracked and came crashing down around Jason and the Grimm.

"JASON!" She cried out in Agony as she felt Jason's soul flicker before finally winking out of existence.

She stabbed 'Myrtenaster' into the ground and created the summoning circle full of grotesque, lanky arms, and used them to begin ripping the debris away. She had to find Jason, she had to find him. She couldn't lose him. She needed him. Frost needed him.

She was ripping through the debris when she saw the metal glow black and looked over to see Pyrrha up and helping search through debris.

Some debris glowed rust red and Weiss saw Viridian lifting non-metallic debris.

Yang ran to the Debris and began searching. "Where's Scott!" She yelled.

Weiss looked around and didn't see Scott.

"Where's Jason?" Ruby asked.

Weiss fell to her knees and cried. "He's somewhere in there!" She sobbed, pointing at the debris. "He was fighting a Grimm and collapsed the warehouse on them."

"Whoa. What happened?" Tai asked.

"I don't know!" Weiss shouted. "There was a Grimm and Jason was in pain because his Aura kept flickering and he couldn't beat the Grimm and so he dropped the warehouse on them, and I can't find him!" She held a hand to her mouth and sobbed. She couldn't lose Jason, she just couldn't.

Coral, Summer, Nora, Sun, and Pardus began gagging until they vomited up a Grimm that began smoking and dissolved into ash.

Loki calmed down and her breath calmed. Her eyes closed and she took in the cold Atlas air.

"HERE!" Yang shouted.

Weiss looked up and saw Yang with Scott over one shoulder and San over the other. "Jason?" She asked before she felt his Soul touch hers, and she stood up.

"BROTHERS ABOVE!" Viridian shouted. "He's over here!"

Logan and Creed stood up before running towards Viridian.

Logan looked down and looked sick.

"What?" Weiss asked, walking towards them.

"STAY BACK!" Logan shouted. "Keep her back!"

"What!" Weiss shouted. "What's wrong."

"Just stay back!" Creed shouted. "Somebody get a stretcher!"

Pyrrha came over and vomited, turning her head just in time to keep it off of Jason.

Jaune came over and joined Pyrrha.

"WHAT!" Weiss demanded. "WHAT'S GOING ON!"

"Jus' stay back lass." Viridian said. "Ye should get back ta Beacon II."

"Tell me what's going on!"

"Ye don' wanna see this."

Weiss dropped into her shadow and appeared out of Viridian's. She looked down and held her hand to her mouth and sobbed. Jason's body had been broken. His left leg above the kneecap had been crushed, the prosthetics were still in one piece, his left hand and wrist were crushed and his right arm from the shoulder down was crushed. His head from the nose up had been completely crushed. He was dead... Jason was dead.

"Wait!" Logan Said. "How did you get here?"

"Shadow portal." She sniffed. "Why?"

"Everyone! Shadow Portal back to Beacon II!"

One by one the group disappeared into their shadows until it was Logan, Creed, and Weiss.

Logan grabbed a sheet of corrugated metal and, with Creeds help, carefully placed Jason on the sheet of metal before they stepped into the shadow and walked aboard Beacon II.

Weiss walked into her shadow, not paying attention of the surroundings.


Elm watched the group walk into their Shadows for a place called Beacon II. She needed to tell the General. Quickly, she hurried back to Atlas Academy.

When she arrived, she hurried to General Ironwood's office, and knocked.

"What is it?" The General asked harshly.

"General! I have information on the traitors!"

"Come."

Elm walked in and stood at attention. "Sir! I was doing reconnaissance in Mantle when I heard a battle and went to the south end of and saw a warehouse collapse. I saw the traitors leaving via Todd's shadows and talking about "Beacon II"."

General Ironwood pressed his Scroll. "Captain Sidian! Bring Ace Operative Clover and Ace Operative Vine with you to my office."

"Yessir!" Ob Said through the scroll.

Ironwood looked at Elm. "Good work Ederne. Keep it up and you could be leading the Ace Ops one day."

"Thank you, sir!" Elm Saluted.

Ob and the other Ace Ops walked in a minute later and stood at attention. "Ace Ops reporting for duty, Sir!" Ob Said.

"Captain Sidian. Ace Operative Ederne just witnessed the traitors talking about a place called Beacon II. I want you to find it, raid it, bring me the traitors, and bring the Faunus back. I want Atlas up and running as soon as possible."

"With all due respect sir!" On snapped to attention. "We are still on truce for another two hours sir!"

"Then they should have thought about that before they attacked Mantle." Ironwood Said coldly.

"Sir! With all due respect, why are you so adamant on getting the Faunus back? We have people in Atlas and Mantle who could make Atlas run, why the Faunus?"

"Are you disrespecting my orders and my Authority Captain Sidian?"

"Sir no sir!" Ob snapped to attention. "Respectfully asking for clarification!"

"I see. The reason I am looking for the Faunus is that without the Faunus, Atlas is only on emergency power and rations. The Faunus make up ninety percent of the work force, and the humans make up ten percent of the work force."

"Sir! I respectfully request to call bullshit!"

"Denied! Now, get the traitors and the Faunus!"

"With all due respect sir?" Ob Said.

"What is it, Captain?"

"Fuck That sir! I would rather see the Faunus free than enslaved. I respectfully decline the mission to enslave the Faunus again. Make the work more equal and increase pay and benefits for the Faunus to meet the pay of the humans, and I will request that the Faunus come back, but I am not a Bounty Hunter. I am a Soldier in the Atlesian Military and will not take part in the hunting down and murder of Faunus because we humans are too lazy to get up off our asses."

The Ace Ops looked at Ob in horror.

Ironwood looked at Ob. "Ace Operative Elm!"

"Sir yes sir!" Elm shouted, snapping to attention.

"Arrest Captain Sidian."

"Sir Yes sir!" Elm turned to Ob. "Captain Sidian. You are under arrest for treason against the kingdom of Atlas."

"Captain Ob Sidian!" Ironwood declared. "You are to be put to death for committing treason against the Kingdom of Atlas. Do you have any last words?" He leveled 'Nature's Domain' at Ob.

"I refuse to serve a fascist kingdom." Ob Said, tossing his Captain's bars on Ironwoods desk. "I fought for the freedom of others, and I will die for the freedom of others. Fuck you and your Kingdom, James."

Ironwood nodded and shot Ob. "Find and bring me the traitors and the Faunus." Ironwood told Elm.

"Sir yes sir!" Elm snapped to attention.


The group gathered in the infirmary aboard Beacon II. Jason, Scott, and San Lying on a bed. Jason was somehow still breathing even with his injuries. Scott was breathing but was covered in burns along his entire left side. San seemed to be having difficulty breathing but didn't seem to have a single scar on his body.

"Okay." Logan Said. "No offense, but how the fuck is Jason still alive?"

"I don't know." Loki said, "but Ironwood should be thankful he's still alive, because if he wasn't, then I would personally storm Atlas Academy and kill everyone."

"I'd join you." Coral said.

"You wouldn't do it alone." Yang said, punching her fist into her open hand.

"Personally, I think that Ironwood should stand trial." Scott said.

"Want to change your mind?" Loki asked with a snarl. "Or do I need to convince you?"

"Hey!" Yang shouted, stepping in front of Scott. "Back the fuck off Loki! I'll kick your ass if I have to."

"Then I'll break you." Coral stepped in front of Loki.

"Knock it off!" Weiss shouted. "This isn't helping Jason! Now sit down and shut up!"

Everyone sat down and shut up.

"Hey." Whitley said. "I think Weiss is doing something to Jason."

"What?" Weiss asked.

"Look." Whitley said.

They looked at the table with Jason lying on it. His hand had regrown, his arm had grown longer, and his leg was no longer crushed. In fact, his leg had completely grown back, no prosthetic, and his head was growing back.

"Hey." Whitley said. "Piss Weiss off some more. Let's see if that's what caused it to happen."

"How does that make sense?" Creed snorted. "His healing factor can't be that strong. He's not Logan."

"No, but he has Lazarus on top of his healing factor."

"He said that he can't come back if his head is destroyed."

"Weiss still has a head." Whitley said. "And their souls are bonded. Maybe Weiss is keeping him alive?"

"Actually..." Solomon said. "You might have a point." He pulled out his tome and placed it on the counter before turning to a page. "It says that a soul bonded pair have increased lives, access to their partners Semblances, life energies, Auras, stamina's... the soul bonding could even give them a new addition to their Semblance. Not a new Semblance mind you, but a new addition to their Semblance. This being said, Mrs. Schnee could very well be keeping Mr. Todd alive because she has bits of his Semblance and Aura inside her soul, so it's like he's still alive because she's still alive. Kill her, and he'd die too."

"Then Weiss can't die." Loki said. "She has to stay alive so that Jason can heal himself."

"That seems like a pretty weak excuse." Creed said.

"I don't Care if it's made out of tissue paper!" Weiss snapped. "So long as it keeps Jason alive, I will lock myself in our room with him until he wakes up."

"It happened again." Whitley said, pointing at Jason, who's nose had grown back.

"Maybe his eyes will grow back," Ruby said.

"Maybe," Loki said.

"Hey. What else would make Weiss mad?" Yang asked.

"Hey Weiss. What would you do if Jacques came and tried taking Jason and the baby?"

"I would do to him what I did to Watts." Weiss sniffed. "And rip him to shreds with my new Summons."

"What new Summons?" Solomon asked excitedly.

Weiss stabbed 'Myrtenaster' into the ground and a summoning circle with hundreds of Grotesque arms appeared in the floor.

"Holy shit!" Yang Said. "You got that from bonding your soul to Jason's?"

"Yeah," Weiss said. "And I killed Watts with it when he tried sexually assaulting me as a way to torture me, and if Jacques were still alive and came after Jason and Frost, then I would do the same thing I did to Watts and have them rip him apart!" Weiss huffed.

"A few more outbursts like that and Jason should be healed," Whitley said.

"Have you other couples noticed new additions to your Semblances?"

"Not yet." Loki said.

"No." Pyrrha said.

"I haven't." Coral said.

"No." Jaune said, reaching for 'Silent Fury' only for it to come sailing into his hand. "That's new."

"You have a telekinesis Semblance now." Solomon said.

"I guess."

"Try pulling something else."

Jaune reached for Pyrrha, but nothing happened.

"Give Mrs. Nikos Your Weapon."

"It's Arkos." Pyrrha and Jaune said. "It's Pyrrha Arkos."

Jaune looked happy and handed Pyrrha 'Silent Fury'.

Pyrrha held it and Jaune held his hand out for it.

'Silent Fury' jumped towards Jaune.

"So, you can call your weapon to you." Solomon said.

"I guess."

Pyrrha held her hand out and nothing happened.

"Would you like me to try and accelerate the healing?" Jaune asked Weiss.

"Please." Weiss nodded.

Jaune walked up to Jason and activated his Aura. Immediately he flew at Pyrrha, and they hit heads.

"Oww!" Jaune whined.

"I'm sorry," Pyrrha said.

"Amazing," Solomon said. "You have the ability to attract Aura now."

"What about Loki and Coral?" Weiss asked.

Coral glowed coral pink with a thin black outline that caused the others to feel anxious. "Huh. I guess that I can generate a field of anxiety around me."

"What about me?" Loki asked.

"Try activating your Aura," Coral suggested.

Loki did so and there was a thing outline of coral pink.

The others braced themselves but were caught off guard when they didn't feel fear. They felt... relaxed?

"What an interesting Dichotomy." Solomon said. "You can either generate a field of sheer terror that causes your target(s) to see their worst nightmare or a field that generates calm. Fascinating."

"I wonder what Jason's does?" Whitley asked.

Weiss felt something in her soul and spoke. "His allows him to summon those that he has killed. His first summons was a dog that he'd killed in the streets because it was in agony, and he put it out of its misery."

"Okay."

"It's terrifying how well Jason could utilize that." Loki said. "Especially with how many people he's killed."

Everyone shuddered.

"Does he have to have killed them, or does he have to have beaten them?" Scott asked.

Weiss felt something in her soul before talking again. "Jason doesn't know yet."

Jaune walked to Jason and held his hand out. "Is it still okay to augment his healing?" He asked.

"Yes." Weiss nodded.

Jaune activated his Semblance and caused Jason's Aura to glow before they watched in horror and fascination as his body grew back, including his eyes.

"Whoa." The group said as Jaune went on to heal Scott and San.

"I didn't know his healing factor was that powerful." Creed said.

"Remember..." Solomon reminded. "He now has the equivalent of two Aura's boosting his healing, two healing factors, and two Lazarus Semblances. All of you who have been soul bonded have increased Aura, increased healing, and two Semblances. Not nearly as powerful as Mr. Todd's and Mrs. Schnee's, but still, quite powerful. A gash that you are bleeding out from will heal, but something akin to Mr. Todd's injuries? I'm afraid that that is a very particular circumstance that likely won't be recreated again."

"Interesting." Whitley said. "Out of curiosity, is it possible to seal three souls together?"

Everyone looked at Whitley, who had Gabby and Onyx snuggling into him.

"I'm just asking." He spoke.

"I've never heard of sealing three souls together." Solomon said. "You'll have to tell me how that goes someday."

"We will." Onyx Said.

"Well. I suggest we all get to bed." Logan said. We're had a very trying day, and we need to get some sleep."

Everyone agreed and went their separate ways.

Weiss climbed onto the bed with Jason, and she could feel his soul touch hers and she drifted off to sleep.


AN: Before Reading the next Chapter I strongly recommend listening to "Atlas Falls" by Shinedown and the Piano cover for "Atlas Falls" by Ashcroft music on YouTube.


OVA 1

Coral grabbed Whitley, Onyx, and Gabby as they left the infirmary. "Do you Three want to see if the Aura Sealing Technique works for your relationship?"

"Yes!" Onyx and Gabby cheered.

"Sure." Whitley said.

"Are you sure? There is no going back from this if it works."

"Yes." The three nodded in unison.

"Come with me then," she said, leading them to the chapel and to the side room.

"What the fuck!" She demanded at the sight of the couples state of undress. "This is a fucking chapel for fucks sake! It's a church! You shouldn't be doing shit like that in a church! Now, get the fuck out before I kick your asses!"

The couple bolted from the room and Coral led the three into the room. "Kneel at the altar."

The three did; Whitley on the East side of the altar, Gabby on the north, and Onyx on the south.

"Next, Touch your left hands together."

They did.

"Activate your Aura and feel for a connection."

Coral watched as three Aura's came to life and... nothing happened. "Huh." Maybe your souls aren't ready for this." She spoke. "We can try it when you're older."

The group left the chapel and headed for their own rooms.


OVA 2

The next day

The group had gathered in the infirmary the next day to check on their friends when

Geoff and Velvet appeared out of Gale's and Coco's shadows.

"Guys?" Geoff asked. "Wha's wrong?"

They didn't answer.

"Guys?"

Looking around they realized they were in the infirmary. They saw three beds in use. One was San, one was Jason, and the third was... "SCOTT!" Geoff shouted, running to his brothers side. He saw burn scars on his left arm. "Wha' happened?"

"He was caught in a building Collapse." Gale said. "He, Jason, and San. It doesn't look good for San. Jason is fucking Jason and is going to survive. Scott looks like Two-Face."

"How did this happen?"

"It was Jacques and Watts." Weiss explained. "Jason fought a Grimm that he had to collapse a building on to kill. Scott and San were caught inside the collapse."

Velvet could feel the turmoil in Geoff's soul. She sent love across their bond.

Geoff looked at Jason. He was supposed to protect Atlas. He was supposed to protect them. He was supposed to... he shook his head. "Wha' happened?" He asked.

Weiss took a breath and began speaking.
