Chapter 23:The shootout
Everyone was now taking cover as the crowd was screaming running away from the gunfire. They all took cover trying not to get shot. Ghira had taken cover while directin people to leave while his guards took his wife along with any other civlians away. Neo was with Blake as they hide behind cover trying to avoid getting shot.
Hariet was with Zoey,Nadia and Zane inside the orphanage doors. While Onxyia,Jazmine and Declan were with Ghira looking over his wounds.
"Gaghh dam assassin, they must have been hired by the white fang."Ghira said looking at the bandits with his daughter worried.
"Dad are you okay?"she asked as ghira nodded smiling at his daughter she returned it. Then a bullet whizzed past them as soon five more men came out of the woods it seems. They all carried pistol,rifles,shotguns, swords and axes it seems.
A man fired toward Blake and Neo who were busy taking cover. Blake turned and fired a few shot off as the hail of bullets came at them. Then Neo brought out hush , opening the Umbrella up, motioning for Blake to follow her. The two then made their way to the left.
The men fired their bullets at the two, but luckily Neo's umbrella was bulletproof. They bounced off it like it was nothing. Soon the two got behind another building for breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks…now we need to come up with a plan."blake said with Neo nodding in agreement.
Onxyia looked around the corner slightly then a bullet whizzed past where she was alsmot hitting her head. Jazmine was helping Declan and Ghira tell some more villagers to leave. As they did she looked at the roof before jumping up with the use of her glaive. As she got up there she turned it into her rifle. Then she took aim at the group below and more improtanly the AK-130's. She flipped her scope moving the cross hair over one of the bots head.
The scope moved a little but she slowly breath steadying herself. As she did she pressed down on the trigger taking the bots head off. Then she switched to another one quickly shooting it but knocking it down it seems. Then bullets came rushing toward her as she took cover behind the roof.
Back near the orphanage entrance Nadia was making sure the kids were safe and not harmed. "James takes the kids down to the basement and protects them alright. Don't come up until I say so."nadia said
"Yes ma'am I promise to protect them with my life."he replied
Nadia chuckled"Don't be a hero kid just try and live alright. Same for you Mari, take Piper and hide down there."Nadia replied with Mari nodding, then they all went down. Nadia returned to the other trying to assess their situation.
Nadia looked around as she saw Onxyia take down two bots. She counted them out which left
Elven men left. But why are they here to kill Ghira and his family? But she couldn't think about that now she had to help stop this. But she looked at Hariet who had cuffed to the door handle. She growled in anger at this looking at this.
Her son she thought died years ago, comes back to her. She's happy and this atlas specialist knocks him out. Then says how he's probably going to have to be put down for disobeying orders. She couldn't stand this and confronted her.
"Let my son go this instant"Nadia said to Hariet as she was trying to figure out what they were going to do.
"Ma'am lets deal with this later alright just…"hariet begun before Nadia interutped her.
"No you listen, I'm a seasoned huntress, and right now I don't care what rank or how much training you've had. You're going to take those cuffs off him now or else.``Nadia said staring at Hariet. Hariet groaned at this, hitting the wall with her fist cracking it slightly.
"Fine but Ironwoods will want a report on whats happened."hariet said. She produced a key then unlocked the cuffs on Zanes as he fell into Zoey knocked out sleeping. Zoey had her kurki out looking at her brother. She just smiled happy that he was back, but she stared down Hariet with hesitation.
Meanwhile the women who was leading this group laughed to herself back to her normal apperance."Oh this is so rich….I can't wait till my honey hears about this. I wonder hows hes doing right now"the women mentioned.
Ghira was about to rush out of cover but Declan stopped him. "Sir I know you can take those hits but hang back. We don't know what will happen, just play it smart there are still civllians here"declan said as he looked at three faunus villagers with them.
"You're right my friend, I'll just have to trust my daughter and her friends"ghira said with a hopeful look.
Blake and Neo were thinking of a strategy as the two boosted each other onto the roof of the orphanage. It seemed to be close to the forest, Blake examined their situation. She looked at the forest and the people down below.
"I have an idea i'll provide cover from here. You sneak around impersonating one of them can you do that for me?"Blake asked. Neo smiled before a pink glass like material covered her as she changed her appearance into one of the men. Then she made her way into the forest to sneak around.
Blake then creeped over the roof noticing one of the men below her. He fired off his pistol toward her father and Jazmine. Blake had an angry look then she jumped down on top of the man. The man turned to her before he could fire. She jumped on top of him and he was still conscious. She then wacked the man with the end of her hilt. Another two men started to fire at her. But she activated her semblance leaving a normal clone, but then she left another clone made of fire.
As the men shot both clones a smokescreen appeared around them. Both of the men started to cough covering their eyes as both wondered what was going on. Then one of the men got hit from the side and it was Blake. She lifted her leg kicking him in the side of the skull making him go to the side. He rubbed his head before Blake rushed over delivering a swift kick before the other man fired at her. She dodged his bullets and he looked around nervous.
Then from the side a ribbon came out of no where wrapping around his wrist. He looked at it before being pulled into its owner. Blake reeled him in before clenching her fist delivering a punch to the side of the mans jaw knocking him to the ground. Then she rushed over to her family to make sure they were alright.
"Blake!"Ghira yelled as his daughter came in to hug him.
"Thank remnant you two are okay are you hurt?"Blake aksed
"No where alright….but who are these guys?"Jazmine asked as her sickels were now in their gun form.
Blake stared at the men who just wore casual clothing and couldn't come up with anything right now. "I don't know but this was planned. They must have been waiting to strike….but who hired them?"Blake questioned.
"We can questioned them later kid right now we need to make sure no one gets hurt"declan added as he had a hunting rilfe out it seemed. On the roof Onxyia tried to get out from cover but they kept firing bullet at her. Declan looked above anger then appeared from the corner firing off a shot drawing their fire. Then one of the bots along with one of the men came toward the two. Declan tried to take another shot but he couldn't.
Above Onxyia then looked at the two advancing forward. Then she switched her rifle to its glaive form rushing off the roof toward the man. He was firing but he changed his weapon to a hatchet in the nick of time. As she tired to hit him he blocked her swing They both stood their for a bit before the bot relzied what was going on turning around aiming at her. As it did ready to fire a hand went arround the bots head smashing it into a nearby wall. Ghira had the bots head in his head and looked at it with disgust then back at the men shooting at them.
Onxyia then smiled lifting her foot up beforeing kicking the man in the nuts surprising him. He winced before he reached down covering his private area. Then Onxyia swung the pole part of her Glaive across the mans head. It hit his skull and seemed to knock him out. Their was only six of them left.
Back in the orphanage Zoey kept tapping Zane face to wake him up."Come on little brother wake up. Don't tell me you died again…please wake up. "Zoey said worired
Hariet looked ashamed at what was happening as she looked at Zane pouches. She went to one but Nadia stopped her looking at the Atlas soldier."don't touch him.."she began before hariet interrupted her grabbing her arm
"Look i'm sorry, I was just following protocol. I know he's a sweet kid but you weren't there when we found him. It was horrible at that lab and what they did to the people their. But i'm trying to wake him up so let me make it up okay"Hariet said as Nadia looked at her then closed her eyes letting her good.
She nodded silently with respect then went through his pouches pulling out a syringe. Then she looked at it before jamming it into his neck. She pressed the buttons and liquid shot into his neck. Zane's eyes budlged out of his head as he gasped for air. The needle was still in his neck as he stood there. Then he pulled it out, tossing it to the side.
"God dam….my jaw….feels like I just got hit by a gorilla"Zane said, checking his jaw, rubbing it as Hariet looked at him and he looked at her. But then he switched his attention toward Nadia and Zoey. They looked at each other silently for a bit in silence. He smiled at them"hey uh….Mom….sis."he said with Zoey from the side hugging her brother.
"How…. are you alive….where…"Zoey began before Zane stopped her.
"Later we gotta deal with these thugs"he replied as he stood up cracking his knuckles and neck. Then he took out both his revolver looking at the looked at the cylinder before snapping it back and spinning it. Then he looked outside at the men shooting them. Then from the side the last bot appeared and was going to shoot him. But he grabbed its rifle, throwing it out of the way before turning it around toward the men. He then holstered a revolver then taking out a sword. Then he jammed it into the bots back moving forward while taking pot shots at the men.
They fired several rounds into the bot and it soaked up some of the hits. Zane stayed focused before he got close to a man throwing the bot into him. Then he shot a man in his leg seeming to immoblize him. Luckily he didn't have an aura, then Zane looked at the man below him as he got up. He aimed his pistol at Zane before he pulled it from his hand then headbutted him. Then the last two men shot at him as he ran to cover behind a crate.
Behind the women looked pissed and soon behind her a soilder of hers came behind her which made her smile.
"You know I know ever ugly mug in my gang….but you aint one of them sweetcheeks"the women said turning around now switching to her shotgun to a cleaver it seems. She brought it down at Neo disguised and as she did Neo shattered into glass. The women was surprised at this and looked at the girl.
The women then smiled"well….your interesting lets dance sugar"She exclaimed as the two went back and forth. The women then rushed at Neo with her cleaver in hand swinging it vertically at her. Neo used her umbrella to block it then revealed the hidden blade at the end of it stabbing it foward. As it lunged toward her the women dodged it gracefully before backhanding Neo who stumbled back a little but steady herself.
"Come now give me more of a challenge."the women asked as Neo clenched her left hand then smiled standing up. The two watched each other for their next moves, then soon the women switched her cleaver back to its shotgun mode firing off another shot. As she did with each pump of the tirgger Neo brought up her parasole blocking her shot. As she rushed foward toward the women at ramming speed. The women changed to her cleaver to slash at her but Neo folded the parasole back up as she got close. Then she moved swiftly to the side lifting her leg up kicking the women on the side of the head.
As she did the womens mask came off to reveal her face. It showed a women with brown eyes with tan skin. Her face was simply except for a small scar on her lip. The women looked at Neo with anger when her mask came off. Neo just smiled at this before lifting her finger up slowly for her to come at her. The women growled before picking up her mask slipping it back over her face. Then a flash went off on the mask toward Neo. Then slowly something slowly covered the womens body seeming to be a type of hologram. Then in front of Neo was her smiling and Neo was a little surprised. But she didn't care and the two continued to scrap at each others.
The others were busy dealing with the rest of the remaining two men who were advnaicng on Ghira,Jazmine and Declan. Blake was busy trying to find the best way to deal with the last two without harming any civilians. Jazmine hoped out of cover rushing toward the men. Blake looked worried as her sister rushed in. One of the man kept trying to hit her but as he did an aura appeared around her flickering colored light purple. Blake was surprised by this as Jazmine flipped to a wall momentarily sticking to it then launched her self at the man.
As she tackled him Blake noticed something. On her sister's hands and leg some black fur apear. It seemed similair to what a panther has and on her hands her figner grew to resemble some claws. Jazmine then kicked the down man's jaw as she was about to deal with the last one. Then something grabbed her leg and it was the downed AK-130 from early. Jazmine was busy trying to get its grip off her and the man then aimed his rifle toward her direction. Blake had a look of worried remembering the day her sister lost her leg.
Blake clenched her fist then rushed forward toward her sister. As she got close the man pulled the trigger firing his bullets. Jazmine looked at him as this happened but then from the side Blake came rushing over tackling her sister out of the way. Both fell to the ground kicking up some dirt as Onxyia rushed over dealing with the last man lifitng her left hand having her shadow hold him in place. As her father walked over looking at the man with anger. Then the man moaned before pasing out from fear.
Back with Blake and Jazmine the two layed their for a bit. Jazmine looked at Blake who had a expression that made her look to be relieved.
"Thank remnant you're okay….."Blake softly said, hugging her sister. Jazmine closed her eyes, smiling returning the embrace.
"Don't worry about it sis….and i'm guessing you're wondering why i'm so fuzzy now?"Jazmine said
Blake looked at her sister examining her as both stood up dusting themselves off.
"A little but…..you're pretty ugly now."Blake teased an annoyed both then turned their attention to the last person to deal with. The whole group gathered to try and figure something out. But right now both Neos were fighting with each other. Their weapons were on the side and they all were confused.
Then Ghira stepped forward with his stoic nature"You two stop right now!"Ghira yelled as both of them stopped backing away from each other.
Both Neos started to point at the other accusing them of being the fake.
"Ok this is going to be hard, I can't tell them apart."Hariet said
"Yeah…..both can change their appearance it seems how are we going to tell which one is the fake?"Declan asked
Onxyia thought about something for a moment before walking forward to the she put her hand out confusing everyone and cleared her throat looking at looked at her weird waking up relizing she wants his revolver. He unholstered it, gave it to her and she took it.
"What are you doing?"he asked
"I got an idea if both won't tell us who's the fake….literally. We'll ask them a question the real Neo would know."She replied as she loaded a lighting dust bullet in.
"Oh I see what you're doing. Its a gambit, she's trying to see which one is real depending on their answer."Blake replied
Onxyia looked at the two Neo with a straight face thinking of an a question popped into the girl's head.
"On the night of the Vytal dance, who did Blake…..dance with?"Onxyia asked with Blake blushing at her answer.
"What?!"Blake said with her face bright red. Soon Kali returned with some guards since they got all the civilians out finally. She watched what was going on and watched curiously.
They were about to shift their appearance but Onxyia stopped them."No turn around from each other so you don't cheat."Onxyia said.
Both the Neos turned away from each other back to back. Then one Neo changed into yang with the dress she wore at the Vytal fesitvl. While the other changed into Zane smiling before the group stared at the one on the right
"Welp theirs our fake"Jazmine said as the fake knew she was found out.
"Man why'd you have to change to something so ugly."Hariet said
"Hey I'm right here."Zane said with Hariet laughing.
Then the fake changed to her normal appearance looking at the group. As Onxyia fired a shot the women dodged it. Then they all started to surround her. The women then reached in her back pouch pulling out a ball pressing the button then throwing it down. A blinding light appeared as they covered their eyes. Soon when they look the women was gone with a few of her men. But two of them were still here since a couple of the guards grabbed them.
"Really again!"Onxyia declared, annoyed that it happened again.
"Guess that solves the murder mystery sort of. But we still don't know who hired them."Blake added
Then from the side Onxyia handed Zane his revolver as Nadia walked over to him. Both looked at each other with Zane looking away from her clutching his neck. Nadia had a somber look on her face and Zane breathed.
"Look I'm…"Zane said before Nadia embraced him tightly, closing her eyes.
"You're alive….my baby boys alive"Nadia said with tears on her face. Zane returned the embrace smiling it seems. Zoey walked over and joined the two. As Neo walked over to the group still disguised as Yang. Blake's face turned red looking away with her mother smiling at this.
"Neo….please….undo that….we know you're the real Neo."Blake asked quietly, hiding her face.
"Awww is my big sis got a crush on her…"jazmine said as Blake covered her mouth emrbassed. Jazmine licked her hand which grossed Blake out as the two went back and forth. They were pushing each other as Ghira and his wife watched.
Ghira watched smiling and wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder.
"I'm happy my little girls are getting along again."ghira said
"Yes…but now I'm wondering if we're going to have grandkids soon."Kali replied, making Ghira look at her. The women cat faunus smirked with Ghira shaking his head smiling.
Declan walked over to his daughter to make sure she was okay."are you alright little cub?"he asked
Onxyia smiled, shaking her head"yes…..what about you dad are you hurt?"she asked
Declan shook his head no but looked at his daughter. He had a smile before bringing her in for an embrace. Onxyia was caught off guard by this before returning the embrace hugging her father. Both of them wagged their tails fast with excitement it seems.
Kali clapped her hands together to get everyone attention"well it's been a long day, why don't we all go back and have dinner"Kali said
"That I can get behind i'm famished"Declan said letting his daughter group began to walk as Hariet looked at Zane and his family smiling at each other. Hariet smiled at this, continuing to walk toward the Belldonna home with them.
Back at the house everyone was enjoying dinner catching up with each other. Nadia and Zoey were busy trying to catch up with Zane and ask him where he's been. While Onxyia and her parents were close by talking with the two. Neo and Jazmine were talking with each other it seemed despite the communication barrier. Mari and Piper were with them now as the women caught up with her niece.
Ghira was talking with with wife along with his daughters. Hariet was at the table studying her scroll looking at something.
"I can't believe you're alive….i'm still processing all of this.''Nadia said as she drank some water.
Zane smiled looking at his food not wanting to tell his mom what happened to him. How he literally got experimented on and turned into a giant pin cushion.
"I don't care, I'm just happy to have my little brother back….although he aint that little anymore."Zoey teased ruffling Zane hair.
"Yeah and I rember you always having a temper problem when Lazuli and Vance fought with each other."Zane retorted
"Oh those two fight over stupid things as kids, and they still do."Zoey replied
"Ha, I'm surprised you're related to this woman over here. One of remnant greatest faunus boxers back in my day"Declan said drinking from a cup.
"Yes I recall you mentioning you had a son who passed away. It's nice to see you this happy….your usually down when that topic is brought up."Kathrine added
Nadia waved her hand in the air"yea….but at least I got him back and he brought back a girl. Knew he was the ladies man."Nadia replied as Zane and Onxyia felt embarrassed by that comment.
"Though heard from someone hes got two of them"zoey added with a grin as nadia had a teasing look.
"Well I retract my statement you are a ladies man"nadia said again to more of the two embrassment
"Heh heh yeah…god kill me now."Zane said embrassed
Onxyia just held her head down with a red face trying to hide it. But her mom saw this messing with her daughter.
"So….when are two going to give us grandkids?"Katherine asked surprising the two whos face were even brighter.
"MOM!"Onxyia exclaimed with her face bright red as her tail wagged from side to side faster.
Zane was just stunned thinking about that and couldn't even say anything in return.
Ghira was busy eating his dinner as his wife and his daughter Blake talked.
"So sweetie when were you going to tell us about this little girlfriend of yours?"Kali smuggly asked
Blake choked on her food as she said this"were….were not dating…..I just think….she well….um…pretty"Blake casually said as her face was bright red. Her mother laughed at this with Blake flicking a piece of bread at the looked annoyed at this smiling before walking over messing with her daughter but ruffling her hair. Blake looked embarrassed trying to make her stop.
"Mom…stop…we have guest"Blake said
"Come now…..let me mess with my daughter after not seeing her for soo long."Kali replied
Ghira laughed smiling"we do have guest here, but i'll allow it for tonight."Ghira responsed
"Wow can you just change your appearance like that"Jazmine asked with Neo shaking her ehad smiling. Jazmine got an idea before whispering something into Neo ears.
Neo smiled before shifting her appearance to that of general ironwood. She then walked to hariet who was busy studying her scroll. She looked up as she felt a presence above her. Hariet looked at Ironwood standning above her then looked back at her scroll. Then looked back up surrpsied to see him here.
Hariet scrambled up saluting"sir….what…are you doing here?"hariet asked with everyone watching. Ironwood then moved his finger forward, booping Hariet on the nose and Hariet was confused. Then the image shattered it seems turning into Neo smiling with an arm behind her back. Hariet looked at the girl with anger before breathing to calm herself.
"Nice prank kid…..next time you do that try not to give me a heartattack."hariet added as Neo smiled for some much needed revenge.
Declan seemed to be looking at Zane who took notice of looked at Onxyia's father with a look of curiosity.
"Whats up old man?"zane asked
"Nothing, I'm just wondering why exactly Atlas would need to put you down if you changed."Declan asked as Zane looked down before sighing and grabbing his scroll.
"Zane you don't need to show…"Onxyia began but it was too late Zane pulled up the file on his scroll. The one labeled Zanes monster bash. Then he slid over the table to show Onxyia parents and his family he finally found. As Nadia picked it up she examined it carefully looking at the monstrous appearance of her son. So did Declan who had a look of worry on his was a little surprised to see something like this existed. Zoey just cringed at it because it did look creepy.
"Son….i have a question did you hurt my daughter while this happened."declan asked clenching his fist. Zane shook his head with his head hanging low.
"No sir….I did my best to not hurt anyone during those moments.. "Zane said not wanting to reveal the fact how he tried to off himself twice in that form. Hariet then looked at them examining it then looking over them at this. She was shocked at what she just saw.
"I thought Ozpin said you were keeping that undercheck."hariet asked
"Well the great Oz hid it, but it's alright it hasn't happened for awhile. Were all good."Zane replied
"Uh huh god this better not be like the lab incident all over again."Hariet said, rubbing her head.
"What do you mean by lab, who exactly took my son?''Nadia asked Hariet. The people who knew were silent coming up for a response. Mari was holding Piper as the girl sat their smiling. Then Onxyia stood up whispering something into the womens ear. She looked at her nodding before getting up and taking Piper to the other room.
"A man by the name of Arthur….Watts did it. An ex atlas scientist we had word of him experimenting on people with grimm. "Hariet replied as Zane flinched a little as Nadia took notice of.
"How did Atlas get word of this exactly?"Ghira asked curiously with his stoic demener.
"A whistleblower on the whole operation, she had us rescue her family first before she gave us the location. There we found several scientists and hired guns there. We cleared the place out then we searched for survior. "Hariet began.
"Then we found a room mark with the name Subject Omega, we breached the room and saw you in your little monster form. As we tried to um…."Hariet began before looking at Nadia.
"As you tired to what?"Nadia asked, looking at the Atlas soldier with daggers in her eyes.
Hariet sighed"We tried to kill him, but in my defense we didn't know he was a kid. That scientist who blew the top on the project came in shooting him with some type of tranq. Then their he was some kid, we didn't know what to do with him. We brought him back at Atlas and locked him up."Hariet replied
"Yeah…..those weren't my best years. But whatever, let's not get moody. What about those guys who attacked us?"Zane said, diverting the topic.
"Yes, it seems like they were sent here to eliminate me and my family. But who sent them I wonder?"Ghira asked storking his chin.
"That is something I was looking at from some old files a few years back."Hariet replied, putting her scroll on the table before projecting a hologram. It showed two people on screen one was a woman in a mask another was a man in a mask and newsboy cap.
"Who are they?"Onxyia asked, looking at the image.
"Apprently their assassin lovers who run a gang around mistral. Both have about thirty-seven confirmed kills on public offical, governors, Atlas General you name it. The girl we ran into was Betty Parker."Hariet replied
"Hmmm that still doesnt explain why they were after Ghira"Declan added
Blake stood their thinking for a moment and kali caught this."what is it dear?"Kali asked
"Just a guess but….what if someone in white fang or Atlas hired them?"Blake suggested
"That wouldn't make sense not many people have it out against Ghira in Atlas"Hariet replied
"Yeah but their might be a few, although it could be someone in White Fang"Zoey suggested
Blake groaned at this putting her hands in her hair"Adam not the type to do this, him and dad did have a mutual respect for each other. He would never do that."Blake replied
Onxyia had her hand on her chin before something popped in her head"what if it wasn't Adam….what if it was Ollie"Onxyia suggested. The room stood silent at that suggestion, it made sense it seems. But what would he have to gain from this?
"Ollies still in custody, how would he be able to do that? Unless he had people on his side doing his dirty work."Zane added
"He could, but he and Adam are like best friends. Both came from the SDC mines and they were rescued together. "Onxyia added
"Hmmm I'll get in contact with my men to be on high alert. I'll also notify Saber of this, we'll just have to keep a closer eye on your sir."Zoey said with Ghira nodding.
"That will be alright, but with today I think you should go on vacation for a bit with your mother to Vale"Ghira mentioned staying stoic with a few people looking at him.
"Sir….are you sure your family and you are in danger I can't just abodnoned my.."zoey began as Ghira put his hand up as he drank from a glass of water. Then he sat his drink down looking at her.
"Zoey I understand that you've been loyal to Menageri for the last few years. Your the youngest to become a captain in our guard. But you need to stop worrying and go spend time with some family."Ghira said wisley..
"Look sir I just think…."Zoey began but Kali stopped her.
"Menageri isn't going anywhere. Also i'm sure you wouldn't mind spending time with your little brother for a while, maybe mess with him."Kali replied smiling.
"Ummm are you two sure you'll be okay?"she asked as both nodded.
"Yes they'll be fine, if you want me and some of the huntsmen here can personally protect them. And don't worry i've personally known them from years, hell their from my old team."Declan said
Katherine sighed at that"please don't tell me he'll be here. He was so annoying back at beacon."Katherine replied
"Sorry dear, no promising."Declan exclaimed, wrapping an arm around his wife.
Mari then returned to the room with Piper smiling"so your going to leave me and james to take care of all the little ones back at the orphanage."Mari asked with Nadia shaking her head.
"Don't worry me and Jazmine will come by and help around once in a while she's gone Mari"Kali said making Mari smile and so did Nadia.
"Depsite that in the morning we'll leave for Vale city, make sure to bring what you need."Hariet added
Dinner soon concluded as they now had retired for the night with everyone smiling it seems. They can't wait to see everyone again despite not being gone for so long. Morning came quickly as the group including Nadia and Zoey as they met at the airship.
"You sure I can't come sis?"Jazmine asked
Blake only nodded"Sorry Jaz, no more room for you unless we lose an extra person."Blake replied
"Just leave that Atlas chick she'll be fine swimming back"Jazmine joked with Hariet popping out of the bullhead.
"Hey if they don't return with me they'll get court marsheled."Hariet said
Blake looked at her little sister being embracing her sister into a hug."I'm going to miss you."Blake said as she let her sister go with Jazmine smiling waving to them.
The group of seven board as Hariet went to the pilot seats to save some room. The ship slowly made its way off the ground with one extra passenger. But the ship hovered in the air before flying away from Menagerie.
"So what are we going to tell Ironwood about the busted collar?"Onxyia asked
"Hmmm don't know my report states that it short circuited and I had to keep Zane confident to a room with menagerie guards keeping watch on him."Hariet replied
Zoey smiled at this"yeah my guys watched him like a hawk."Zoey said rolling with her lie. The group made their way toward inland to Vale. But in Argus their other group of friends seemed to be dealing with some problems.
The group are on their way back after meeting some family members after being apart for a while. Along with that it seems that piper was succesfully welcomed in by her aunt. With the group bringing back two guest, how are the others doing. Thanks for reading!
