Hello everyone, I decided to change Wraith's voice actor to Dave Bautista who played Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. A guest suggested it and I agree because I was meaning to change his voice actor. Anyways, I also will be adding Team CFVY, SSSN, and FNKI but there will be soon. And yes, I'll be adding the Therizinosaurus soon.
Enjoy!
Somewhere in Mistral, there was a large flat plain with mountains in the distance, lying on a simple farm. It consists of a barn and a house. Along with a water pump that supplies the water for the field and the residents. There's a road in front of the farm with a fence that needs repairs. The driveway meets the road at a junction with another road, creating a crossroads. It was a simple farm, nothing fancy and all, as it provides vegetables and grains. Now, the ones working there are two relatives, consisting of a woman and her nephew. They lived close by to a town, going there to sell some of their crops and veggies.
Speaking of which, a teenage boy with freckles and hazel eyes emerges from the loft of a barn and climbs down a ladder. He is wearing patched khaki pants, a white shirt, and orange suspenders and gloves. Tucked into his pocket is an orange-based multi-colored cloth. The teen is named Oscar Pines, he lives a simple yet solitude life in the barn with his aunt, Olivia Pines, he works hard in the barn, to help provide for him and his aunt. But there was a secret that no one, not even his aunt, knew about.
Soon, Oscar then opens the barn door to a peaceful country scene with a rising sun and birds tweeting. White mountains are a background to a dirt road, grass, a few trees, and a green water pump. Oscar could help but smile as he went to the water pump to pump water into a blue bucket. As his gaze wanders the landscape, he becomes distracted from the pump and utters a quiet sound of surprise upon realizing he has overfilled the bucket. His shoulders fall with a sigh, knowing that he should pay attention in his work.
Later, Oscar was shutting and turning a green compost tumbler that is marked with a yellow crown bearing the initials CK. While hoeing rows in a garden, he suddenly straightens up and looks out into the distance to hear the sound of blowing wind. Oscar found it strange, but he later shrugs it off and continues his work.
About a few hours later, Oscar finished his work and now he headed to town to do some trading in local markets. He made good trading and got some items, materials, and lots of meat. Yup, I mean a lot of meat that could feed an entire family. It even surprises the local butcher, Frank, who has mocha skin, brown eyes, and black hair, to be surprised by Oscar's sudden love of meat.
"Woah, Oscar, I didn't know you love meat so much." Frank said to Oscar.
Oscar made a sheepish smile towards Frank, "Well, actually, I'm using some of the meat to keep the predators off the chicken coops."
"That's smart, but you do realize it won't stop the real predators, right?" Frank asked Oscar, who suddenly became silent.
"I know...Grimm." Oscar whispers out, knowing about the monsters that threatened their home. "Aunt Olivia always told me not to venture through the forest."
"Frank, you better not be scaring that poor boy." An elderly woman said, coming towards the two males.
"Sorry, Mrs. Moynihan, I'm just worried that's all." Frank apologizes with a sigh, "Ever since what happened to Vale, everyone seems to be on edge."
"Yeah, a crazy person is trying to commit genocide." A male Tiger Faunus said, coming towards them with a newspaper in hand. "The whole world is talking about it."
"Really?" Oscar asked Tiger Faunus in shock.
"That, and the two mysterious dinosaurs, and the giant crystals that have basically a giant shield that formed beyond the borders." He said to Oscar.
"Man, I heard about that." Frank said. "The news said that these crystals are like the new defense in the Kingdom of Vale. No Grimms could enter, and everyone wants a piece of it."
"I heard that, but many tried to get a sample, ended up getting electrocuted by those crystals, scientists are still figuring out how to extract them." The Tiger Faunus said, giving Frank the newspaper.
"Oh, dear, I hope they'll be all right." Mrs. Moynihan said in concern. "I know for a fact that those crystals can protect us from the Grimms, but do they even know how to use it?"
"Hopefully, they can, 'cause with those crystals, it can protect us from any Grimm attack." Frank said before he looked at the picture of the two dinos on the front page, "Damn, can't believe their dinosaurs walking among us?"
"I know, right? I couldn't stop looking at them in the news!" Tiger Faunus said in agreement. "My wife and I still can't believe that there are dinosaurs here."
"Tell me about it." Frank said with a sigh, "When my kids saw those dinos, they wanted one as a pet instead of a dog."
Mrs. Moynihan chuckles, "Children these days, always going for bigger pets." She joked as the adults chuckled. Oscar, on the other hand, was lost in thoughts, as if he was busy thinking about something. Noticing this, Mrs. Moynihan looked at him in concern, "Oscar? Is something wrong, dearie?"
Oscar was able to snap out from his trance as he looked at Mrs. Moynihan with an assuring smile, "Sorry, I was lost in thoughts, that's all."
"Is it about those dinos or the giant crystals?" Frank asked the teen.
"Both, I guess, I mean. It's amazing that dinosaurs are still alive." Oscar said with amazement in his eyes.
Frank chuckles, "Yeah, it's amazing, but some part of me wishes that they're not more of those. I admit they're amazing looking, but I hope they're not a threat to us like the Grimm."
"Well, from what I read, they only attack Grimms...do you think they were trained?" The Tiger Faunus asked.
"By what? Atlas Military? I doubt it. From what I heard; Atlas didn't know about these dinos until the first Grimm attack in Vale." Frank said.
"Well, wherever they came from, Vale is somewhat indebted to them for saving the lives of thousands." Mrs. Moynihan said, which they all agreed.
"Yeah...although, I wonder what happened to that Grimm Girl." Frank said.
Oscar looked at Frank and asked, "Isn't that the girl that could talk to Grimm?"
"Yeah, she's the one that found out about the culprits that were trying to destroy Vale. People say she is a hero of some kind or a spy." Frank said.
"Oh, now, don't give any bad ideas to that girl. She just saves an entire city by warning them about the danger." Mrs. Moynihan said to Frank.
"I know, I know, I just never thought that girl could be a hero." Frank said.
"Yeah, I only heard that she appears and disappears, and would take down any bounties or bounty hunters that were after her." The Tiger Faunus said.
"Well...maybe she had a change of heart." Mrs. Moynihan said.
Oscar agrees with her, thinking that if it wasn't for the mysterious Grimm Girl, lives would've been lost. Just then, Oscar notices the time, realizing that he was late for something. "Oh, I gotta go, I have to get the crops ready." Oscar leaves while waving at the adults, "See you guys later!"
"All right, stay safe, Oscar!" Frank called out, waving at him.
"And stay clear from the forest! People have been hearing about some Grimm wandering around the area!" The Tiger Faunus said to Oscar.
"I will!" Oscar said, carrying the items and headed out.
But instead of going back to the farm, Oscar secretly went to the forest to a secret path that was kept hidden. Oscar went deep within the woods outside of the town, carefully making sure that he wasn't spotted by any huntsmen or Grimm. Once he was clear, Oscar made his way to a huge rocky wall that had a curtain of plants. And within the plants was a hidden opening of a cave. Oscar takes out what appears to be a glowstick and uses it as his source of light, and ventures into the cave. Upon doing so, the cave revealed itself to be a tunnel. It was dark and had stalagmites growing on the ground, people would've been terrified by this since there could be Grimms in there. But Oscar has been coming here often and knew there was no Grimms, but something else. Something that no one, not even his aunt, knows about. Soon, after reaching the other side.
Hidden within the rocky walls of the rock pit was a beautiful cove. It is surrounded by forest rocks, trees, roots, and a pond full of fish. With a vast waterfall gathering a pool of water. Oscar smiles at the beautiful scenery, finding tranquility and peace here. Taking a deep breath and exhaling, Oscar went up a rocky platform and set his bag down, and then took out a huge piece of meat. He looks up with a smile on his face as he tosses the meat, and then something catches the meat and starts eating it.
"I was in town today." Oscar said to the unknown creature, tossing another meat, which it ate. "They were talking about the two dinosaurs again. Helping the students fight off the Girmm." A rumble came as a reply, making Oscar chuckle at this, "I wonder if we can meet them. I mean, it would be nice to meet other dinos. Don't you agree?"
Oscar looks at his companion with a kind smile, looking towards what appears to be a dino, but not just any dino, a hybrid dino. This particular hybrid stood tall, taller than Amaryllis. It has the frill and horns of a Triceratops, head and body of a Tyrannosaurus, arms and legs of a Velociraptor, the back armor of an Ankylosaurus, and a spine-tipped tail of a Stegosaurus. Its skin is primarily gray with a light-yellow underbelly, black stripes on its back and armor plating, yellow markings surrounding the eyes, and a red head and feet. The way the lime green eyes are placed on the head gives it the binocular vision of a Tyrannosaurus.
This hybrid was given a name by his friend, Oscar. The young farm boy found some books of dinosaurs and how they were named. Oscar did try to find what species this dinosaur was but couldn't find it in the books. So, Oscar decided to give his own species name since he discovered it and using a dictionary and some science books that he has, he named this hybrid, the Ultimasaurus, which means Ultimate lizard. And his hybrid friend approved of this.
Oscar smiles as the Ultimasaurus lowered his head, allowing the farm boy to pat his snout gently, "So...what shall we do today?" Oscar asked his friend kindly.
At the Island of Patch, Voltaria was sleeping on a bed in the spare room of the Xiao Long Cabin. Her mask was on the nightstand and her hair was down, revealing to be long hair that reached her back. It's been long since she slept in peace, Voltaria finds it relaxing. She's currently living with Ruby, Yang, and their father, Taiyang. They were kind enough to let her and her entities stay with them. After all, she needs to be hidden from General Ironwood, who is currently searching for her. She wasn't the only one that they were looking for. They were also searching for Amaryllis and Ripper. People wanted to know who these dinos were and scientists wanted to study them. But they are safe and sound in the Island of Patch. Kurama, who learned about her whereabouts, would go to her dream, informing her that everyone in Mineral Town, including Amber, are safe and sound. No threat has yet to arrive. Much to Voltaria's relief.
Soon, Voltaria opens her eyes when she hears gentle grunts from her window. Sitting up, Voltaria gets out of bed, wearing a big baggy nightshirt, heading towards the window, opening it to reveal Amaryllis the Indominus Rex, greeting her mother gently. Voltaria couldn't help but slightly smile at Amaryllis, feeling slightly relaxed now after the whole incident at Vale.
"Good morning, Amaryllis, did you and Ripper had a good night sleep?" Voltaria asked the white hybrid gently, scratching the snout of the Indominus gently, earning purrs of delight in the process.
Oh, she and Ripper enjoyed their sleep. It's been nice to have the pack together. They live in a huge forest area, surrounded by good prey (animal meat not human/Faunus), big territory to explore, and best of all, a hidden area where they could all train together! It was a delightful event for her and her brother. They would not want to move to another territory to hide since Patch has many caves and hidden forest for them to hide. Life here is paradise for both her and Ripper.
"By the way, where's Ripper?" Voltaria suddenly asked Amaryllis.
Before the Indominus Rex could reply, there was a knock on the door downstairs. Luckily, Taiyang was there since he got up to make breakfast, but he heard the door knocking and decided to check it. "I'll get it!" Taiyang said, going towards the door.
But as he opened it, there was no one there. Taiyang was confused until he noticed a dead boar in front of the door. This surprised and shocked the blonde male, he wasn't expecting to see this. He then spotted Ripper from an afar, hiding within the undergrowth, watching him. Taiyang was confused by Ripper's behavior, he's been acting like this since they arrived three days ago.
"He's offering you a gift." Voltaria appears besides Taiyang, scaring the male in the process.
"AH!" Taiyang yelped before calming down when he realized that it was Voltaria, he calmed down. "Phew! You startled me."
"My apologies, Mr. Xiao Long, I didn't mean to startle you." Voltaria apologizes.
"No need, and I told you, just call me Tai." Taiyang assures her, "But what do you mean by him offering me a gift?"
Hearing this, Voltaria explains the reason for Ripper's behavior. "Both he and Amaryllis know that you are the alpha of this territory. They will do anything to get your utmost respect."
Taiyang blinks in surprise before chuckling, "They don't need to do that! I'm happy to let them stay here."
"Well, it is in their instincts." Voltaria said to Taiyang, who chuckled again.
"At least they brought us some breakfast." Taiyang said with a smile, "Besides, they're like family."
"You should probably tell that to Ripper." Voltaria said before looking at the dead boar. "We'll clean this up for you. Hannibal, if you please?"
With that, a shadowy mist absorbs the boar's carcass before it is segregated on the counter, from meats, bones, and hides. And the guts were eaten by Hannibal. Taiyang was impressed by how thoroughly Hannibal was when it came to this.
"Wow, he sure knows what to do." Taiyang compliments.
"You have no idea." Voltaria said calmly.
Just then, Yang and Ruby came downstairs, yawning and rubbing their eyes tiredly. Flare the Dream Flame was tiredly floating beside Ruby, wearing an adorable nightcap. The two sisters were wearing their pajamas and just woke up. Taiyang smiles at his daughters, "Mornin', girls!"
"Morning, dad! Morning V." Both sisters said in unison while yawning before noticing the meat, bones, and hides on the counter.
"Wow, dad! Did you go out hunting?" Yang asked her dad.
"Wha-oh, no, no, it wasn't me, it was actually Ripper." Taiyang said to his daughter, telling them what Voltaria told him, "He's been trying to get my respect by offering me this boar. And I think Ama is gonna do the same thing."
"Aww! Rippy, you don't have to do that!" Ruby said through the open door to see Ripper hiding within the undergrowth. "Dad accepts you! You don't have to give him gifts!"
Ripper made small roars, indicating that he was saying that he has too. Taiyang finds it amusing and lets out a small chuckle, "Tell you what, Rippy, if I ever need some boar meat, I'll tell you, okay?"
Agreeing to this, Ripper nodded his head and made his way to the front door, allowing Taiyang to pet his snout, which Ripper let out happy purrs. Anyways, the family, Flare (who eats some small biscuits), and Voltaria had breakfast along with Amaryllis and Ripper, who hunted down some boars and ate them outside, next to the dining area. Once they are done, Voltaria helps Taiyang with the dishes with Ruby, Yang, and Flare while Amaryllis and Ripper clean up their mess by hiding the bones in a distant area and burying them. Once they were done, Yang opened the projection for the news that was broadcasting, so they could see what's happening on Vale. Turns out, different news reporters explained that Vale is slowly recovering, buildings and areas are restored, the CCT is being repaired, and many people are returning because of this. They mentioned that Atlas was helping bit by bit of this, as an excuse for General Ironwood to find any clues about Voltaria, which he finds none so far. Just then, Lisa Lavender came to the scene.
:Multiple rumors continue to circulate as to who was behind the attacks at the Vytal Festival Tournament.: The screen shows anchor Lisa Lavender and the VNN logo. The caption below her reads: WHITE FANG MEMBER, ADAM TAURUS, PRESENT DURING BEACON GRIMM ATTACK. :While no one knows for sure, officials have confirmed that high-ranking White Fang member, Adam Taurus..." Adam's image appears on the screen at his name being spoken, :..was present for the attack. However, authorities found what appears to be his remains in Beacon. He was gruesomely disemboweled, they are yet to learn what have caused this, but they believe it to Grimm or the two dinosaurs.:
Yang slightly cringes as she and Blake witness Adam's demise after Hannibal drains his energy and Ripper tears him apart. It was the only way for him to save them. But she still felt bad that they didn't stop Ripper. Voltaria, on the other hand, was annoyed that Ironwood is still looking for her. She knows that he sent Atlas Military to assist Vale as an excuse to search for her. And she is not too pleased by this.
:In later news, people wonder about the whereabouts of the Grimm Girl who mysteriously vanished after helping catch the assailant who threatened to destroy the city. Authorities are still searching, but they believe she left the city after these black crystals appeared from the ground.: The screen shows the images of all black crystals that were protecting the city. :Scientists believed that these crystals have a power force to prevent Grimms from entering the city. They continue to research about this as they have little known answer to these crystals. But they all agree that these crystals are the answer for all the kingdoms' new defense and Atlas is now on the search for the Grimm Girl-:
Yang instantly turns off the screen, annoyed that people are looking for her because of her ability. Ruby was worried about her friend's safety. But Voltaria, yeah, she was getting annoyed since Ironwood decided to find her now, hooray.
"I can't believe they're hunting V down like some kind of animal!" Yang exclaims in anger, "She just saved everyone's life!"
"Yang, it's not their own fault, they wanted to know how I got the information and maybe how I made those crystals." Voltaria said to Yang calmly, "After all, they are powerful enough to repel against Grimm."
"Yeah, but still, you deserve to have a peaceful life for once." Ruby said to her friend with Flare resting on her shoulder.
Voltaria shrugs, "Well, there's nothing much I can do now to stay hidden."
"No way, V, we already made plans on going to the market today and buying you new clothes. And supplies to the beach later." Yang reminded her.
"And how are we gonna go to the market?" Wraith said, appearing from the shadows along with the other entities, "These people will somehow recognize the kid due to her hair and appearance. And wouldn't it be strange for a girl like her to appear out of nowhere?"
"Wraith has a point." Regina said, agreeing to Wraith, "Even though she did not recognize her face, they will learn about her soon."
"Is there an alternative?" Ruby asked them, hoping to give Voltaria a chance to explore their home.
"Yeah, can we just disguise her?" Taiyang suggested, "That way, no one will recognize her."
"That sounds like a great idea, dad!" Yang said in agreement.
"Yeah! And we can pretend that Volty's our relative." Ruby said happily.
"...And how are we gonna pull this off?" Wraith asked the two sisters. But instantly regrets it when both Yang and Ruby were grinning ear to ear as he slowly realizes what's their plan. "Oh, gods..."
Later in the marketplace, Taiyang and his daughters were walking through the busy street. With them was Voltaria, wearing a disguise. Her black with white and red streaks has been dyed to a golden blonde and is tied into twin buns. Her attire consists of a red shirt, black loose shorts, red boots, a single long black glove on her right arm, and a black belt with a golden buckle. She still wears her Grimm Holder as an accessory, people will not recognize it since it was hidden within her hood before. And as for the two hybrids, they're hidden within the forest, accompanied by Flare and Zwei.
"Good morning, Taiyang!" A chubby dark skin woman greeted from her stand, selling fruits and veggies.
"Hello, Roberta, how are you doing?" Taiyang greeted her warmly.
"Doing great! And seeing both Ruby and Yang alright makes me feel relieved." Roberta said happily, "After hearing the news, I was worried that both of them got hurt in the crossfire!"
"Oh, don't worry, Roberta, me and Ruby came out without a scratch!" Yang said with a grin with Ruby cheering in agreement.
Roberta smiles at her, "I know." She then spotted Voltaria behind them, "Oh, who's this?"
Both Ruby and Yang grinned and brought Voltaria in front of her proudly like some kind of prize, "This is our cousin, Valerie Xiao Long!" Yang introduced her "cousin" happily.
"Your cousin?" Roberta asked in surprise.
Taiyang chuckles at his daughters' enthusiasm, "Yup, Valeria came from Mistral and is staying with us."
"Really? Why?" Roberta asked curiously.
"The city was a bit um...crowded for me." Voltaria said to Roberta. "So...my...um parents...decided to let me live with my uncle and cousins."
Luckily, Roberta agreed with her, "I hear that, the city isn't my thing, I prefer a calm and yet quiet village. But in any case, welcome to Patch! I hope you'll enjoy living here."
Voltaria couldn't help but nod, "Yes, I will, thank you very much." She said as she respectfully bowed to her.
Roberta chuckles at her, "Such a well-mannered girl, wish my kids were like that." She joked, earning a laugh with Taiyang. "Anyways, what do you folks need?"
"Yup, I have the list I need." Taiyang said, taking out his list, before looking at his daughters, "Yang, Ruby, why don't you show Valerie around and buy some items along the way."
"You got it, dad!" Yang said with a grin as she picked up Voltaria around her waist like a sack, "Come on, V! To the clothing store!" She and Ruby cheered as they ran to the cloth shop, with a confused Voltaria being carried away while Roberta and Taiyang chuckled at their antiques.
Anyways, in the clothe store, Yang and Ruby were searching good outfits for Voltaria. The two sisters were searching through various clothes, trying to find an awesome outfit for Voltaria. Yang prefers a punk looking outfit for Voltaria while Ruby suggested casual or cheery clothes. They would occasionally bicker on what outfit that Voltaria should wear since she was seen in her Gothic huntress outfit plus uniform, and nothing else.
"I regret allowing those girls to do your disguise." Wraith said through her mind.
"Well, they were persistent in getting her new outfits since she's staying with Ruby, Yang, and their father." Regina reminded Wraith.
"Yeah, but don't you think they're a bit over their heads?" Wraith gestures towards the two sisters, arguing that Voltaria looks cute on the outfits they pick. "They're gonna dress her up like some kind of doll."
"Don't worry, Wraith, they're doing this for her. I mean, it's not every day that Voltaria gets a new outfit, right?" Tabitha said kindly.
"I guess, but can they at least let her wear something, I don't know, less girly?" Wraith said to the group.
"It's up to our mistress's decision." Regina said.
"I agree with Regina, what do you like, Voltaria?" Tabitha asked but got no response. "Voltaria?"
They saw Voltaria looking at a dress that was on a mannequin. It was a blue sundress with white frills on the edge of the sleeves and bottom of the dress. Lavender color ribbons clipped on both sides of the sleeves and wrapped around the upper waist. It appears to be the same size for Voltaria. The young girl couldn't lay her eyes off the dress, it reminds her of the time that her mother would sew her handmade outfits. She's a very talented seamstress. Voltaria recalls the time when she tried to make a dress for her mom, she pricked her fingers more than once, and her mom would tend her wounds with a kind smile on her face. Voltaria briefly closes her eyes as she remembers her mom always calls her beautiful on the dresses that she made for her. She misses her mother so much.
"How much for this dress?" Voltaria suddenly asked the woman who happens to be a store clerk.
The woman looks at her kindly and tells her the price, "That would be five Liens."
Hearing this, Voltaria nodded and purchased the dress but before she did, she noticed both Yang and Ruby looking at her with wide eyes and adoration. Voltaria gave them a confused look as she noticed them looking between her and the dress a couple times, like they were expecting her to wear it. It didn't take long for Voltaria to realize that they wanted her to wear the dress. She wanted to decline, but since they were kind enough to let her stay, Voltaria agreed to wear it. So, in the changing room, Voltaria wore the dress. Her dyed blonde hair was down, revealing her long locks, and wears black sandals. It felt strange for Voltaria to wear a dress that wasn't made for combat but rather for relaxing. Before she could think further, she heard camera snapping sounds. Looking up, she saw Ruby and Yang taking out their Scrolls to take lots of pictures to send them to their friends. This was an opportunity of a lifetime, and they can't miss any of it!
"V, you look adorable!" Yang said, taking multiple pictures.
"Yeah!" Ruby agrees with her sister.
"..." Voltaria just stared at them for a while before looking at her reflection on the mirror wall. She got to admit, wearing something besides her huntress attire feels rather...nice. "Thanks..." She mutters out, but deep down, she enjoys this.
Later, after changing, Voltaria paid for the dress and some clothes that bought on the way, and headed to the store to buy some meat, spices, and materials. As they shopped, Voltaria notices a radio from one of the stands that sells liquors and wines. It was telling about the mysterious crystals and how Atlas personnel are searching for the Grimm Girl, believing that she has the answers they seek. Voltaria narrowed her eyes by the broadcast. She will have trouble going back to school since they are now tracking her, demanding to know her secret. But as she was about to walk away, she accidentally bumped into someone. Luckily, they didn't fall, and Voltaria didn't drop the bags.
"Woah! Sorry about that!" A male replied.
Voltaria, who was checking her items, nodded her head, "Actually, it's my fault, I should've paid attention to where I was...going..." Voltaria trailed off as she looked up and made eye contact with a pair of bright yellow eyes.
The one that she accidentally bumped into was a male Wolf Faunus, he's about two years two years older than her. He has long black hair that reaches to his shoulders and is tied, a pair of wolf ears on his head, and a black wolf tail. He wears a short black hooded cloak with a silver pin that is the shape of a wolf head, under it was a white button shirt that was untucked on his black pants, a single long black fingerless glove on his right arm, and brown combat boots. And has a small bag tucked to his waist with a brown belt.
Voltaria stared at him for a while, her expression remaining neutral, but her heart...her heart was beating strangely, like it was going to burst out from her chest. Because of this, Voltaria wasn't aware that she was staring at him for long until the boy noticed her stare.
"...Um...are you okay?" The Wolf Faunus asked Voltaria, who snaps out of her trance.
Voltaria looked at him and then nodded her head, "Y-Yeah...sorry for staring. It was very rude of me."
The boy Wolf Faunus smiles at her in assurance, "Nah, it's okay, I'm used to it." He said before looking at Voltaria, "You're not from here, are you?"
Voltaria raises a brow, "You can tell?"
The Wolf Faunus laughs a bit, "Yeah, I've seen familiar faces when I visit here in Patch, and you're the only face around here."
"So, it would seem." Voltaria said to him softly, "And I take it you don't live here? Considering that you said that you visited Patch."
The Wolf Faunus smiles at her, "True, I don't actually live here. My family are traders, we come by to Patch to trade items with them." He explains to Voltaria. "I'm actually born at Kuo Kuana, Menagerie."
Ah, yes, Kuo Kuana is the largest city settlement on Menagerie, which is a landmass or island that is located in the southeast of Remnant. And it is known to be a safe haven for all Faunus kind. Voltaria recalls from Blake, who actually lives there, that the chieftain of Menagerie is her dad, Ghira Belladonna. She never actually met the guy but she heard from Blake that he's a good leader.
"I see, you're a bit far away from home." Voltaria said to the Wolf Faunus.
He laughed a bit at this, "True, but that is the life of a trader's son." Then looks at her again, "By the way, I didn't get your name."
"Hmm...true and have yet to know your name." Voltaria said to him.
The Wolf Faunus smiles at her, "True, how about this? If I say my name, could you tell me yours?"
Voltaria thinks about it and agrees with a nod, "Fair enough."
Smiling, the Wolf Faunus outstretched his hand, "My name is Jacob, Jacob Lupus."
Voltaria soon accepted his hand and shook it, "Valerie Xiao Long."
Jacob smiles at her, "Nice to meet you, Valerie."
"Likewise." Voltaria said to him as they let go.
"So? What brings you to Patch?" Jacob asked her curiously.
"I'm staying with relatives since I grew tired of city life." Voltaria said, using that explanation.
"I hear that. The countryside is more peaceful, especially here." Jacob said to Voltaria kindly with a smile.
Again, that strange feeling in her chest came, a feeling that she never felt before. She doesn't know why, but...but he makes her feel...happy. Her entities caught up to her strange feelings and realized what was happening. Which shows mixed expressions. Regina and Tabitha knew this day would come while Wraith dreaded this moment, and Hannibal...yeah, let's just Hannibal is like an innocent cinnamon roll who has no idea what's going on. Luckily, Voltaria did not sense tehri expressions as she was busy looking at Jacob.
"Y-Yeah...it's very nice here." Voltaria confesses softly, trying to ignore the strange feeling in her chest. "But I am more interested in traveling."
This causes Jacob to beam at her with a smile, "Yeah, it is! You'll meet new people, learn about other cultures, and try new cuisines."
Voltaria laughs lightly, "You sure have an interesting life."
"Yeah, even though there are some humans that look down at us, there are some that show great respect, so it's a fifty-fifty interesting life."
"They should show you more respect since you're from the Lupus Trading Family." Voltaria said to Jacob with respect.
As she recalled, the Lupus Family are Wolf Faunus that have many connections and knows the safest routes when doing trading for both Humans and Faunus. The family is also known to be skilled huntsman, that is why their trading industry has no problems when facing Grimm or bandits. Voltaria respects the Lupus Family for they provide the materials that the people need.
"You know about us?" Jacob asked her curiously.
"Yes, your family are well known traders. And from what I heard, some of the higher-class would do anything to get good trading."
Jacob smiles at her, flattered by her words, "Thank you...it's very refreshing to hear that." He said to her softly, a faint blush coming to his face.
Voltaria could see it and she returned with a small smile, "You're very welcome."
The two made eye contact yet again. Both not daring to blink as yellow eyes stared at the beautiful blue eyes. However, the moment was cut short when Jacob notices something behind Voltaria, "By the way...who are those two girls hiding behind the stand over there?"
Hearing this, Voltaria turns around and frowns as she sees both Ruby and Yang hiding behind a stand that appears to be selling clothes or rugs, watching/spying Voltaria interacting with someone that was close to her age. Both showing shock and excited expression on their faces. However, the two sisters spotted Voltaria giving them a look of unamuse, and they quickly hid behind the stand, hoping that they got away, but not before Yang took out her Scroll and took a quick pic of this cute moment before withdrawing. Voltaria, of course, sighs in annoyance, knowing very well that those two just witness another once in a lifetime opportunity for her to talk with someone her age.
"...Do you know them?" Jacob asked Voltaria, both staring at the stand where Ruby and Yang were hiding.
"Yeah...they're my...cousins, Ruby and Yang, they're just excited that I'm talking with someone that's closer to my age."
Jacob chuckles, "Same thing happen to me, my brothers and sisters would freak out that made a new friend, especially if it's girl." Voltaria looks at him curiously, "They would tease me all the time, thinking I'm dating a girl. But I'm not."
"Hehe, yeah, older siblings tend to do that." Voltaria said in amusement.
"Tell me about and speaking of older siblings, my brothers are probably looking for me right now." Jacob said with a sigh.
"Yeah, me and my cousins should finish shopping and head home. It was nice meeting you." Voltaria said as she was about to leave until...
"Will I see you again?" Jacob suddenly asked.
Voltaria stops and turns to look at him, "What?"
"I said...will I see you again? Later, I mean, like...when you have the time? My family will leave tomorrow morning and...well, I was hoping I could show you around a bit or...you would rather go with your cousins." Jacob said hesitantly.
Before Voltaria could reply, she heard Ruby cheering in her head, "Go for it, Volty!"
"Yeah!" Yang cheered in agreement via telepathy.
"The hell?! How are you still in mind-link?!" Wraith exclaimed.
"Regina and Tabitha." Both sisters answered unison.
Wraith frowned in Voltaria's mind, "Seriously? You had to let them in the mind-link?"
"How else are you going to communicate secretly?" Regina questions him, earning a growl from Wraith.
Ignoring her entities and the two sisters, Voltaria glanced towards Jacob waiting for her answer. She really does want to explore Patch and...getting to know her new friend. So, with a nod, she agrees to go with him, "Well, we were going to the forest later...how about...tomorrow? I'll meet you at the docks."
Beaming happily, Jacob was thrilled to hear this, "That's great! I'll see you then?"
Voltaria nodded her head with a soft smile, "Sure, I would like that." She said softly towards Jacob.
They both waved at each other as they went their separate ways. Voltaria went towards the stand to see both Ruby and Yang looking at her with wide and happy eyes. "YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE!" Ruby squealed.
Voltaria frowns at them, "It's not a date."
"Uh, sounds like a date to me!" Yang said as she and Ruby stood up, "Come on! Let's prepare for your soon to be date!"
"It's not a date!" Voltaria said again in annoyance as she was being carried like a cardboard by Yang, heading home with Ruby following. But as they leave, Voltaria notices Jacob watching them with an amusing smile on his face. He waved at her gently, excited to see her later. Voltaria couldn't help but waved back at him, returning with a small smile on her face.
"Okay, that's it, that boy must die." Wraith said in annoyance.
"Don't you dare. Wraith!" Regina said to him in a scolding tone.
"He's making the kid soft! She already has friends! She doesn't need a crush! And besides, there's a reason why it's called a crush: because it slowly crushes you!" Wraith exclaims in annoyance.
"Let her have some freedom, Wraith." Tabitha said to Wraith. "It's not every day Voltaria makes a friend her age."
"Yeah, and it's a boy! Why can't it be like a girl or maybe an animal of some kind."
"You really should really quiet the protective father phase; it does not suit you." Regina said to him.
"Well, excuse me! Somebody's gonna keep Kid from getting tricked!" Wraith said as he and Regina began to argue about Voltaria making a male friend.
"Why they fight about now?" Hannibal asked curiously.
Tabitha sighs, it was another typical day for them, "I'll tell you soon, Hannibal."
I hope you like the chapter. Yes, I added the Ultimasaurus, a friend told me about it. I'll explain how Oscar met Ultimasaurus but I'm still thinking of a name for him, if you have ideas, leave it in the comments below. And the Ultimasaurus is a male. Anyways, I will write more about dinosaurs soon.
