AN: Okay, this the second half of the chapter.

Ozpin

As Ozpin looked through the documents, files and video Ironwood had sent him, he felt his stomach turn. If these were real, and he had no reason to think they weren't, Thor was not only unwell but in serious trouble.

According to this information, Thor was still an orphan, but was from Atlas, and had a history of psychotic episodes where he thought he was, at various points, a god, a legendary hero and even a doctor. The last one seemed an odd companion to the other two, but when it came to mental illness logic rarely applied. Apparently, the Atlas military had taken him into their care for treatment, but also to study some of his more unique traits. He was preternaturally strong, which Ozpin knew, and didn't tire as quickly as others according to the file.

The goal had been to treat him and, hopefully, train him, but one day a few years ago, he'd had another episode, stolen blueprints for a new weapons system and disappeared. How he'd managed it hadn't ever been satisfactorily explained, but the nurse on duty had been charged with negligence and fired.

The boy was exceptional, true enough, but he was a danger to himself and others, especially when in the middle of an episode. In all the years Ozpin had known him, he'd seemed off, but he never had suspected mental health issues. But the files and documentation told him enough.

Ironwood said in their talk that he'd figured out the boy's location once Thor had been featured in the news on Torchwick. He was demanding the return of the blueprints Thor had taken, and also wanted Thor returned to Atlas. That second demand Ozpin had refused. Thor, regardless of whatever else, was still a student of Beacon, and his responsibility.

Once Thor was…brought in, he'd be under his supervision. Because despite all of this, he still felt that there was something of the divine touching the young man. He still wanted to know what that was.

Thor would get help here in Vale and hopefully cooperate. He'd outright refused to let Atlas military specialist handle this. He'd have to have come up with some other plan to deal with the situation, but he didn't think Thor would go in quietly, but he must be given the chance.

But what was the best chance of making him see reason?

Thor

He had a sense of imminent danger, and he didn't know why. He knew that eon's of battle experience had given him an almost sixth sense of potential threat, but this was something else. He didn't know where it came from, but he knew better than to ignore it. As a result, in the last few days, he'd taken to wearing his battle harness, belt and bracers at all times under his normal clothes.

He thought, in some vague way, his talk with Yang may simply be bothering him, and he was thinking of the inevitable conflict of it. But when he examined those feelings, while they were unpleasant, they weren't the same.

He was now ready at all times for a fight. He knew this wasn't a healthy mindset, but he couldn't shake the need to be prepared for any sudden attacks. He didn't have his hammer or his maul, but this was the best he could do without raising attention.

He'd considered telling the others, but as he didn't have anything other than a feeling of dread, at best he would just upset them. There was a chance he was wrong after all. In this body, he noticed his decision and feelings weren't always as sound as they had been.

He didn't think his dream had anything to do with it, but he didn't rule it out either.

Ruby

Being called by the headmaster wasn't a pleasant idea. It made her feel like she'd done something wrong, which she hadn't, she didn't think so, at least not recently.

Her whole team walked silently into an empty classroom and sat down. She saw Jaune's team coming in after them, and this made her feel somewhat calmer. It made her feel like maybe they weren't in trouble.

They exchanged greetings, but soon all sat in silence. Waiting.

After some time, the door opened, and Headmaster Ozpin walked in. He seemed…tired.

"Thank you all for coming." He said, which Ruby found odd, they hadn't been given a choice, or at least how they'd been told hadn't made it seem like it. "What I'm about to say to you…it isn't pleasant, and it will inevitably lead to hard choices. So… I'll give you a chance now to leave, no questions asked, and no judgment."

Ruby looked around to see both her team and team JNPR sitting stoically, almost stiffly. No one got up or moved. She turned to look back at the Headmaster.

"Sir." She said, somewhat meekly, "What is this about?"

Ozpin sighed, "You are all close friends with Thor Odinson." He said and walked over to the classroom projector. "Something has come to light about Mr. Odinson, and it is…not good." He hit a button, and a document came up on the projector. Ruby started to read it but was distracted by Ozpin speaking. "He is from Atlas and is…not well."

"In what way?" Blake asked, and Ruby looked to her and saw she wasn't looking at the document but rather right at Ozpin.

"He…"Ozpin began gesturing at the board with the projected image. "Has some form of psychosis, delusions and some other issues." He started changing slides to show more information and pictures of Thor during his treatment. And one video of his raving like a lunatic on a bed, restrained with straps.

Ruby looked back at the image and started reading what she now recognized as a medical workup sheet. "He's…" she muttered to herself.

"Crazy?" Nora said with her usual tact, and Ruby's heart sank.

"Not well." Ozpin corrected."He is a remarkable individual, there is no denying it, but he's also not well, he needs help, and that is why I've asked you all here." Ruby watched as he massaged the bridge of his nose in a clear sign of stress. "We'll set up a situation where he is away from the school with all of you, and we hope you can convince him to submit to treatment." He looked at Ruby as he finished speaking, and she felt like she was going to be sick.

"So…what is your plan?" Jaune stuttered out.

"We'll send you all on a mission to the same forest you had your initiation." Ozpin said, "Once away from the school, you will tell him what you know and offer him a chance for help. Should he accept, it will end there. If not, well, you will have to take him in. For your sake, this will be a "weaponless" mission so he won't have his equipment, but you all will."

Ruby felt like she'd been poleaxed. Thor was…she didn't want to say crazy, but…he seemed so normal. Well not normal, but he was…he was Thor.

Her eyes started to fog over, and she knuckled the tears away. She…loved him. But he was sick, and she wanted to help him. This might be the best way, get him to someone who could help him. She felt someone rubbing her back and knew it was Yang.

"So…" She said, looking at Ozpin, "How do we…do this?"

Jaune

The plan was set for the weekend, and Jaune hated it. Thor had been like a brother to him, and now he felt like he was betraying him. But he was sick, he needed help. And this might be the only way to keep him out of an Atlas prison. He apparently stole prototype weapons data when he had his last breakdown, and that at least explained his weapon's system and why it was so different from anything he'd seen before.

But even without it, he was strong and skilled. He'd helped Jaune improve greatly over the time they'd known each other.

And he didn't seem insane, eccentric maybe, but not insane. But he'd looked at the file's, and they told a different story.

He just wished this hadn't happened.

He also thought of Ruby, who was likely in total distress over this. Her boyfriend was a mental patient, and she was going to have to try and convince him to get help. They all were. What concerned him more than anything is how Thor would react when confronted. Jaune didn't know a great deal about mental health issues, other than some vague information he just picked up over the years from various sources.

The only thing he knew for a fact in this situation was that he didn't know how Thor would react. He knew Thor well enough to think there could be a fight, and that wasn't a fun idea. Even without his gear, he was still strong and highly skilled, and his semblance wasn't anything to sneeze at either.

Jaune had a feeling if it came to having to subdue him, he'd be almost useless, Thor was the one who trained him, he knew him all too well.

But maybe he'd come quietly, and they were his friends. He'd have to know they only wanted to help him. Except…he wasn't well. He might have a total break down.

In all this, he was trying to come up with a better plan to handle this than what they'd been told to do. The only thing was that he didn't have the whole picture. He had a distinct feeling they didn't have all the information, and maybe that was out of respect for Thor, and they hadn't been told more than they needed to be convinced of the situation.

But this was just a complete nightmare of a situation.

Yang

As if she didn't have enough emotional turmoil in her life, she now had to add in the fact her sister was dating a criminally insane man, who she had the hots for, and they were tasked with getting him to come in for help. She didn't know what she'd been expecting during her first year here, but a scenario even remotely like this wasn't it. She'd expected danger, sure, but not this type of emotional stress.

She didn't liked the plan at all, Ozpin was more or less having them spring an intervention on him, and possibly have to arrest him if he didn't comply.

She didn't understand how this was the best way to go about, more or less ambushing him in the woods. It told her something at least that she thought Ozpin was reasonably confident this was going to turn into a fight and wanted Thor away from his equipment and the other students if that happened. But why they had to do it…, it felt so underhanded. He trusted them, so his guard would be down.

As if she didn't feel terrible enough about betraying her sister, now Thor was going more than likely be supremely pissed at them all. But he was sick, he needed help.

That part at least made this all…at least well-intentioned. But that was the other thing, she was having an incredibly hard time thinking of Thor as sick…he seemed…not normal, but he didn't seem crazy either.

And he was… a good guy. What made this all worse was that they all genuinely liked the guy, and he'd been helpful to at least Jaune, Ruby, and Pyrrha.

But it was hard to argue the facts put before her. They'd have to try to talk to him and failing that…restrain him. The plan was simple enough, and it would give them the advantage if it came to a fight. Even then, Thor was stubborn, if he chose to fight…it was going to get ugly.

She just hoped Thor would listen to reason.

Thor

The mission had his wind up, for whatever reason it made the hair on his neck stand up. He didn't know why, but the sense of dread made him worry, for himself and the others. The others also seemed upset by something, did they have the same sense of doom?

Ruby wasn't talking to him more than a few words, and the others didn't seem to want to speak at all. This was supposed to be a "semblance training" mission, which called for no equipment, and Thor would oblige to the spirit of the exercise, but he'd still wear his harness, and with it, he could call his maul.

He'd keep this from going poorly if he could help it.

As they landed in the forest of their initiation, Thor looked around to scan the environment for danger, but his companions didn't seem as concerned as the Bullhead flew away. It was later in the day, and dark clouds covered the sky as if warning him of something.

As he scanned the tree line of the clearing for Grimm, he saw none. "Okay." He said to the assembled group, "No Grimm in the area, we should start with…" He heard the grinding of metal on metal and turned to see several of his friends with their weapons, despite this being a non-weapon exercise. They all looked so grim and serious, he immediately knew something was wrong.

"Thor." Ruby's voice broke as she spoke. "We…we know."

"Know what?" Thor said, clenching his fist and his heart starting to race.

"You're sick." Jaune cut in "You need help." The boy's voice wasn't breaking like Ruby's, but he sounded desperate

"Sick?" Now Thor was confused. "What…who's told you what?"

"We've seen your medical files, man." Jaune said, now sound close to panic, "We know…we know where you're from and…man you need to listen, you need help, we want to help you."

"What have you heard!" Thor now yelled and saw most of them flinch back.

"You…"Blake started, "You think you're…you think you're a god or an ancient hero." She said, "You've…stolen military secrets."

"Lies!" Thor now shouted, and he saw all of them drop into a ready stance. "You've all been deceived!" He pointed to Blake as he spoke. "Who feed you these lies!"

"Thor!" Pyrrha shouted, "You're sick…please, let us help you!"

"I don't need help!" His blood boiled, he'd walked into a trap, and it was from those he considered friends. "You've all been tricked and now what!" His eyes moved to their weapons "You'll fight me? Arrest me!"

"Thor..please." Ruby near cried, and Thor looked into her eyes, and…his heart sank, tears filled her eyes, but her weapon was ready. His heart broke here, and he wished he could spare her this.

"Ruby…you'll do what you think you must, and I will do what I must." He raised his hand over his head.

Weiss

For a moment she thought Thor was raising his arms in surrender. Only to hear the whistling of something traveling through the air, and suddenly saw his maul slam into his hand as he caught it.

The stolen weapon landed in his hand, and she felt a sense of dread. He pulled his jacket off to reveal his battle harness. He was ready to fight…was he suspecting this?

No…he couldn't have, but still…this just became a much harder issue.

She hadn't come across anything like Thor's weapons in her research, but that didn't mean they weren't Atlas hardware. Secret files wouldn't have been easily accessed, but still, it was odd she didn't find any references to at least similar equipment tested.

But these thoughts vanished as Thor stood before them all ready to fight. This had not been in the plan. But they were in for a fight now, and all they could do now is try.

Blake

As the maul landed in his hand, Blake knew this wasn't going to be an easy fight. They hadn't expected him to be armed. But besides that, they didn't want to fight him or hurt him.

How tenderly he had treated her, knowing her heritage, he was kind and understandings. He helped her and didn't pushed her or mind.

Now…she needed to help him. He was sick, he needed treatment and help.

She just wished it didn't had to come to this. But he was a danger to himself if he didn't received proper help.

But As she looked at him, with lightning arcing off him, she started to wonder vaguely if he was really delusional.

Thor

The first three attacks he received were from Nora, launching three grenades at him. They didn't land directly, but around him with the blasts and shrapnel peppering him. He saw through the smoke Nora bearing down on him, her hammer raised to strike him. He slipped the hit and struck her in the stomach with his own hammer sending her to the tree line.

Ren came next, shooting him with his SMGs before switching to his close-range weapons to slice at him, this time he struck him with lighting, causing him to double over.

Thor threw his maul into the air to move from the immediate area. He felt guilt over striking his friends, but he wasn't going to be put away due to them being tricked. By that same notion, however, he wasn't going to hurt them if he could avoid it.

Before he could even clear the tree line, he was pulled back to earth, and he knew this was Pyrrha. He crashed into the ground, and the force dug a small trench in it.

Rolling to his feet, he was facing Jaune, who looked him dead in the eye.

"Thor...please we are trying to help!"

Thor didn't response but rushed forward and ducked under Jaune's counter-attack and hooked his leg with the blade of his ax and sent him to the ground.

Before he could turn, he was hit again, this time he felt flames covering him. He guessed Weiss had used her semblance with fire dust. He turned and soon realized he was engulfed in fire and called a small localized rain shower to quench the fire. He could smell hair burned and the scent of burning flesh.

The cooling rain caused the burning to stop, but he was undoubtedly damaged from it.

He heard someone, he thought it was Ruby, shouting in concern over the tactic used. He looked around to see himself surrounded.

"Thor." One of them called "Please…you're hurt!"

"I will not be carted off like an animal!" He yelled, "You are all fools to fall for this treachery!"

He spun his maul to charge the environment with his semblance. The winds picked up, and lightning arced around them.

But something hit him from his right, and at that moment, he realized his right eye had closed from the burns, and someone had blindsided him and sent him to the ground.

He rolled to see Yang bearing down on him, ready for another punch, but he raised his foot kicking her in the stomach, with lightning arcing off the kick. He rolled to his feet and knew now that this was past the point of talking.

Throwing his hammer forward he rushed Weiss, the first one he saw once he was back on his feet. She tried to make a counter-attack, but he ducked under and grabbed her ankle and threw her into the air and struck her with his maul.

No sooner he was hit again, someone else bulldozing into him. Yang or Nora, they were the only two strong enough and bold enough to try such an attack. The next strike told him it was Nora, her hammer was distinct compared to Yang's fist.

He couldn't hit her with lighting, it would make her stronger, so he turned and punched her between the eyes stunning her for a moment while it disrupted her vision, then he brought the hammerhead of his maul onto her head sending her to the ground.

He raised his maul again only to feel it come out of his hand and looked to see Pyrrha using her semblance to pull it out of his hand, and striking him with her shield in the temple. He turned with the blow and, instead of moving away, stepped into her attack and drove his shoulder into her chest, throwing her away from him.

"You fools!" he yelled, "Forget this madness, and no one will get hurt!" He called his maul back to his hand and spun and batted away another attacker, this time Blake, who had tried to sneak up on him, but he knew far more stealthy people in his time, and she wasn't as unseen as she thought she was.

Someone hit him from behind this time, and he knew it was Yang. Instead of striking him, she wrapped her arms around his torso and tackled him to the ground. Before he knew it, two more were on him. Nora and Jaune, he guessed from what he saw and felt.

"Thor!" This time Yang yelled, "Please! You need help!"

"Traitors!" he yelled as he fought against them.

"Please!" She yelled again.

"Traitors!" he yelled again, still pushing the shoving against them as he felt more people pile on him.

"Thor…please…do not make us hurt you!" This time it was Ruby yelling, and his heart ached at it, but at this point, they were trying to stop him and whatever his father had planned for him was at risk. He couldn't fail here.

"TRAITORS!" He yelled at the top of lungs, calling lighting to throw them off him and raising into the air.

Ruby

As she saw Thor throw Yang, Nora, Jaune, Blake, and Pyrrha off him with a massive crack of lighting, she felt tears running down her cheek.

Thor was not listening and was now out of control. Nora jumped right up and rushed Thor only to be batted away by Thor as he rose in the air.

"You have all chosen this path!" He yelled, "You all know me, and what this brought, you've brought this on yourselves!"

"Thor!" She called to him, and he looked at her. She saw his face clearly now. His hair was gone from Weiss's attack, and his right eye was closed from blistering, and all his facial hair was gone. He looked so different, yet he was still Thor. "Please! You need help!" She didn't know how many times one of them had yelled this at him, but it seemed like all she could say.

He landed on the ground, looking at her. He was breathing heavily, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking. He seemed like he was lowering his maul, but soon, he launched himself towards her. She raised Crescent Rose in a defensive posture to deflect the attack, unwilling to attack him. But he didn't hit her with his maul but shoved her aside with his hand, and he passed her on her right, missing her, or so she thought.

As she rolled to keep an eye on him, she saw him severing the head of a large Ursa. He'd pushed her away from it, and she hadn't even noticed it.

Grimm…of course they'd be drawn near her with everything going on.

Thor finished the Ursa and moved onto a Beowulf, only for him to jump away from a field of ice that sprung up like spears. Ruby looked to see Weiss only for a moment later for her to turn away an attack from another Beowulf.

A storm of fire rained down from the sky, and she saw several Bullheads, air cover. She knew this was likely, but she hadn't thought of it.

Atlas and Vale military were here for support, keeping the Grimm away.

But all she could think was…Thor had saved her. Even as they attacked him. Even if he was sick…he was still…Thor.

She dropped Crescent Rose and dropped to her knees. This was beyond her. Thor…she loved him…and she couldn't hurt him, even if it was for his own good.

Yang

Thor had tossed them all off as they had tried to tie him down before he had thrown them with his lighting.

The gunships came into handle the Grimm, she hadn't known they were coming but was grateful for them nonetheless.

But Thor…he was out of control. He had hit her at least with some strong hits. Ruby was the only one who hadn't been hit, and Yang didn't know if that was because Ruby hadn't engaged or if Thor was leaving her alone.

But Thor calling them all "traitors" had hurt…badly.

But he needed help, and if she had to beat him into submission to do it, she'd do it. Launching herself at him again, she rabbit punched him while he was looking somewhere else. He was knocked to the ground and skidded along with it for some distance while she chased after him only to have him roll onto his back and striking her with his hammer, lightning arcing off it and sending her flying.

As she tumbled through the air, she spotted Nora bringing her own hammer down onto Thor's stomach. Thor cried out from the hit, but Nora didn't let him regain his breath and started to literally hammer him into the ground. Thor had hit her with his lighting, and she was supercharged from it. How Thor had made that mistake, she didn't know, but he probably hadn't realized she was in the dogpile.

Then a loud thunderclap nearly blew her eardrums out, and she saw Nora hold her hands over her ears, her weapon on the ground and Thor following up with a strike from the ax on his maul. Nora skidded along the ground, and Thor regained his composure.

As Thor caught his breath, a shield, Pyrrha's, came out of what seemed like nowhere and caught him square in the temple.

Thor shouted in rage and started to spin his maul and slowly began to rise into the air. This was new.

Ozpin

"Headmaster," Goodwitch said from his rear "This is cruel…let the Atlas troops step in…or at least allow me to…"

"No." He said looking at the monitor as he watched teams JNPR and RWBY try to subdue Thor. "This is an important milestone for them."

"What is that!" She nearly yelled. "Fighting a friend? How often will they have to do that?"

"I mean emotionally." He said, "The fear, the sorrow, they will have to cope with these things in the field someday."

"Is that your pretense then?" She said. She clearly didn't buy it, and he didn't need her to, because when it came down to it, she wouldn't push the issue.

The truth was, he didn't trust anyone else to not actually take things to far and actually kill Thor. He had an extremely valuable piece of military hardware and the blueprints hidden somewhere, not to mention at least a working knowledge of it. Granted he hadn't planned of Thor actually being armed, but that made his choice even more critical.

He hadn't told Glynda, but he'd proposed to Ironwood that the teachers would handle it, but Ironwood had insisted that any actual Huntsman involved would need Atlas military specialist to accompany them. Ironwood was a good man, but all it would take is one of them to be given order from the higher up to kill him.

This was the most controlled option he could come up with with the time table he had. It had been apparent if he hadn't offered a solution, Atlas would have simply acted, the only thing that had kept them from doing so so far was the idea of an international incident.

But what he was watching was not at all pleasant. Thor was proving a match for all eight of his classmates, although from how he looked at how they were doing, he was clearly on the bad end of things. Mostly from miss Schnee with a surprisingly brutal and effective attack near the start of the fight.

But now Thor was rising in the air, the disks on his belt and vest glowing. There was something uniquely Thor about this weapon. He was mixing the dust with his semblance, something he knew Thor could do but hadn't seen in action in a proper fight yet. The wind around the fight was wiping and seemed to burn, fire dust in the wind, this was not good.

Jaune

Thor had walloped him good, and he was just now getting his bearings. The air was getting hot, and it took him a moment to realize it was Thor, in the air using his semblance with the dust in his equipment. He was making a firestorm.

Jaune tried to think of a way to stop him, but all their frontal assaults had failed. Taking his hammer away wouldn't work, he'd just call it back, so long as he had that harness on, he couldn't be disarmed. Then it occurred to him.

He started looking around and spotted Ruby and ran over to her.

"Ruby!"

She turned to look at him, "Jaune…he's."

"Ruby." He said pointing to Thor, "We need you to use your semblance."

"It won't do any good, he'll just."

"Don't go for him, take his belt."

"Huh?"

"His hammer has a safety device in it to keep anyone from lifting it who isn't wearing his harness, if we takes one piece of his harness out, he won't be able to use his weapon."

"But he'll see me."

"Let me handle that, just take your shot when you get the chance."

With that, Jaune ran off.

Thor

"I warned you all!" He shouted, now in a total rage from the pain of his injuries and the betrayal of his friends. He wouldn't kill them, but he wouldn't allow himself to be taken either. He hadn't talked about his godhood since he came to this world, for this very reason.

Someone who knew who he was was at work here, and they were trying to sabotage him.

"Thor!" someone yelled, and he felt a grenade detonate on him. Turning in the air, he saw Jaune with Nora's grenade launcher in hand.

"You will taste the fire of Muspelheim for that you turncoat!"

"You are going to burn us all alive!"

"You'll live." He shouted, still spinning his hammer, "But you won't lay your hands on me again."

Seems like an abrupt change between these two sentences. Is that intentional?

Changing his mind on the storm, he instead threw his maul at Jaune, pulling himself along. The instant he started to move a red blur flashed past him, and he felt something run down his back, and while he was still flying towards Jaune, he felt a total lack of control. Jaune raised his shield at an angle, and the maul deflected off at an angle, dragging him along the ride.

The hand strap was pulled so tightly he couldn't free himself, he was on an utterly uncontrolled flight and couldn't free himself from it.

Ruby

As the belt fell away, she watched as Thor flew through the air and deflected off Jaune's shield. Even though it was just a glancing blow, it still drove Jaune to the ground, and Thor flew through the air, then started to drop and seemed to skip like a stone would on a lake.

As she dropped to the ground, she thought the fight was over, but they needed to get to him and make sure he was okay.

No one said anything as they ran after him, but some were still clearly ready for the fight.

He wasn't hard to follow, he'd left serious marks in the forest.

The first thing she saw when they found him was that he was on his knees looking at the ground. Just as they arrived, it started to rain.

His maul lay next to him, but he looked…so defeated.

"Thor…" She said as she approached him, but a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back.

"Ruby don't go near him." it was Yang.

She shrugged her sister's hand off her shoulder.

Thor looked at her, and his skin was blistered, his right eye was swollen shut, all the hair on his head was burned off, his jaw looked like it might be broken or dislocated and his right arm was clearly broken.

"Ruby." He said, blood trickling out of his mouth as he spoke.

Ruby suddenly realized that for as bad as Thor looked, none of the rest of them had more than minor bruises. He'd kept himself from hurting them, and they hadn't offered him the same courtesy.

"Thor…I'm sorry…." She was crying now, "But you need help."

"No…I'm sorry." He said, looking at the ground, his voice trembled "For hurting you."

"What do you mean? You didn't even touch me."

"Not for this." He mumbled.

"Thor…, you need help, please, they're coming to get you, don't fight them, they'll take care of you." She felt a shiver run down her spine in the rain, "Come on, and let's get out of this rain, it's cold." She said, hoping he'd pick up on her joke.

He did, "How can the rain be cold?" He said with the vaguest hint of a laugh.

She hugged him, she didn't care he was sick, she didn't even care if he was delusional. He was still Thor. He wrapped his good arm around her and whispered "I'm sorry…for everything."

Lights from the bullheads started flashing over then, and Ruby knew that this was finally over.
