Last chapter we saw the groups all reunite with each other after being apart for so long. But now they need to come up with a quick plan from what adam belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 107:Reunion
In the lounge room everyone was oddly silent as they were all currently staring at the two elephants in the room right now that was adam tarrus who was trying to compose himself as to what he was going to tell the rest of the group. Along with most of them staring directly at zane who felt very nervous right now as they forced him to hand over his weapons which made some anger. Though behind the couch was falk stand as lazuli along with wiess sitting nearby adam so that none of try to hurt him which honestly does give them a reason too as they all knew who sliced off blakes right arm.
Jaune, nora and ren sat across from them with cardin and may standing behind them. While mercury and dravan stood behind rogue and eria who were sitting down as perun sat next to his girlrifned. While zephyra pulled a chair up along with ame standing close by.
Their was also bombay, thisite, bashira and tyra along with shen mei keeping their weapons very close depsite early incident. While also next to them was oscar, miyuki, neo and raven with qrow waiting patinelt along with ruby and yang with diamona close by sitting or standing. While zane sat on a couch balled up with his hood up as velvet and onxyia sat close by next him with her revolver drawn was nadia eyeing them down as asani sat crossed legged on the ground.
"So whats this whole thing you got for us on the white fang? Must be quite important"jaune said
"It better be because we got two problems here tarrus and the freak"mei added in venom as some glared at her.
Nadia cracked her neck"lay a hand on my kid and your dead….like i said early watch your dam mouths"she said gesturing to her revolver
"Despite that my information is useful it might juse help prepare us for whats coming and maybe even prevent the destruction of this academy too"adam said
"Really? Because news flash one of the guys who destroyed the last one is over their"bashira bluntly siad pointing to zane again who didn't really respond as cardin shot her a glare.
"Alright stop it…we get it you guys don't trust these two. But benkei was it?"he asked as she nodded. Then he placed a hand on her shoulder squeezing very hard on it making her flinch.
"Keep your trap shut or i'll whack you upside the head with my mace….got it"cardin threatened moving his mace toward her face as she just gorlwed in response.
"Alright enough….we need to discuss this apparently important information you have. spill"Qrow demanded
"Yeah what is it?"ruby asked curiously.
"When we arrived in argus we met up with jaki and calida hayley"adam stated which got everyone attention including raven and rogue attention
"Wait….mom and dad?"rogue asked
Eria hummed a little"that would be the same when we got their was a letter that was sent by someone sienna khan knew"she added
"Wait you mean thee sienna khan. As in the tigress sienna khan"ame replied
"Um…okay now i'm lost"nora said cofnsuingly
"Aunt sienna was considered a voice for the white fang about twelve years ago. She inspired alot of faunus to fight for ourselves but soon enough she stepped down from her position"onxyia said
"Wait why would she just step down for some unknown reason?"merucyr questioned as nadia and diamona eyed each other for a moment.
"Kinda obvious kiddio she stepped down for her family. She had aruna three years while in the white fang. Though as she got older she relized she wanted to protect her family and started a clinic with her husband in dryshore"nadia replied
"Yes but also to keep tabs on the white fang. Shes got spys that work for her and we were given timeframe for when they'll be here"adam said
"Wait you don't mean…they're on the way here right now"may added as he nodded
"Yep. four days time is all we have though i take it you all were very successful in procuring those ships for the faunus and weapons?"Adam asked
Yang hummed a little"yep thanks to weapon factory they just got their yesterday should be well on their way. My guess it might take a bit of time to get here but with those airships and codes we got they'll make it"she replied which peaked their interest hearing they got airship and weapons.
"Wait…who gave them airships and weapons do they know about the attack?"ren asked intiruged
"Doesn't that mean we have reinforcements for the assault on haven now"rogue asked exicted as raven chuckled at that glancing at her brother.
"I've also tasked a group of our own warriors to come here mai is leading the charge right now and should be arriving soon. I left our little sister synin incharge for now"raven added as this just made the dusty qrow smile hearing that.
"Fantastic news…any other goods new you all got for us?"qrow asked
"Well we also have a favor from aunt lil miss. Told us to find one of her cells in the city and hand off this token"lazuli said pulling out the spider gang medallion that her aunt gave them which impressed her aunt a little.
"Yeah though…anything else you all wanna share or…"She paused on purpose as raven knew what she was implying. Eyeing the women adoptive son she decided to announce something else.
"Along with that we have dossiers on seven of the knights of grimm along with having a map of cell locations in the areas. Gang hideouts that belong to the knuckledusters as well. And the benefactor of this also helped with supplying the ships for the faunus"raven stated which just was the best thing they've heard in a long time.
"Are you serious?"merucry asked smiling
Thisite sighed in relief"well thank god for that it might make things easy to deal with those knights of grimm."She added
"Alright so who gave you that intel on those guys because next time i see them i gotta thank em"qrow asked before raven chuckled as a few of them pointed toward the source as he looked at her pointing toward the grimm hybrid who looked away a little embraced now. All of them stared at him weird but none of them believed he did that.
"Bullcrap that guy supplied them with ships and weapons for the faunus"perun voice his objection
Bombay scoffed"yeah and he might be playing you guys no way that thing is really on our side. Wheres your proof?"She asked annoyed as nadia sighed placing a hand on her son shoulder making him jump a little at that. Which didn't go unnoticed by diamona or eria for a matter of a fact wondering if he was okay.
"Go grab the dumb map and dossiers that doctor gave you…because some jerks will be eating their words soon enough"the tiger suggested as he nodded walking over to his bag grabbing it walking over then carefully unzipped it as some kept their eye on him expecting him to pull out an explosive. But instead of that he started to lay out the eight dossier files along with the first drawing of his map he made along with a few metal cases on the table. Though once done he set the bag down just keeping quiet right now.
This made them stare at what layed before them right now seeing dossier files on the table along with a map as raven unfrialed it to reveal the capital of mistral. That showed several drawing, symbols along with detailed planning and key points of interest. Which just amazed qrow seeing this before eyeing his sister wondering if this was all fake right now. As they coudln't believe what they were all seeing.
"Whoa…this looks pretty uh…weird what is this exactly?"tyra asked confused
"In simply terms key locations and cells of the white fang and knuckledusters. Tarrus here can confirm them himself if you'd like"raven said
"Indeed because the only people who have access to these locations would be me, my enforcer and…ollie with his enforcers"adam said with a growl in hsi throat which surprised onxyia that he despised that spider faunus now it seems.
Ruby blinked for a moment exmainign it for a bit seeing how expertly done it was that showed several key locations around the place. Where to defend who to call for reinforcement and with several signs pointing toward the tower saying protect at all cost.
"Wait…these are knuckelduster locations i've been around long enough to know where these are. Thats one of their clubs…and these are some of their rackets"diamona pointed out amazed at all this.
Rogue glanced at her partner for a second curious now"did you actually make all of this or something?"She asked as he sat their finally speaking up.
"I…um…y-yes had to pass the time after waking up from my coma. Talked to trifa and y-yuma about helping me. Made…a copy of the map and gave it to . Told him to send aid to the faunus after we stopped alpha…from killing everyone"zane nerovusly said which a few noticed his change in attitude but didn't press for now.
Ame got curious about the cases"What are these metal cases exactly?"She asked as she picked one up pressing a button opening it as ice hissed off it. Then she pulled out something shocking to some that being a syringe their grimm guest used to control his grimm side
"Hold on…those are the syringe this guy took over here to control his grimm side"mercury said
"Hes right…and theirs about ten in the case here which means each one of these contain about ten each"ruby added on
"Thats not all we got three more over here with us as well which makes about forty now"lazuli said presenting the cases they got as some were shocked to finally have the advantage to defea these grimm knights.
Though something caught some of their attention the dossiers as qrow eyed one labeled theta cautiously picking it up examining it as he noticed immediately his old friend their along with reading why she was taken.
"God dammit…so what that psycho back in deepwald said was true…meli was one of them. And so was diego"qrow said fighting the urge to cry as raven embraced her brother comforting him.
"I know it hurts….main reason why tarrus is not arrest. He put her out of her misery but she got to see her daughter with her kids before she passed beyond the grave"ravens folly said to his shock glancing toward tarrus as the two made eye contact as he walked over suddenly hugging him for a moment then releasing.
"Guees thats why your here…i uh…thanks for doing that'qrow thanked
"It was no pro-"adam was stopped before someone else embraced him that being zane which caught them all very much offguard right now seeing him hugging the guy who cut his hands up.
"Ummm why are you hugging him all of a sudden?"zephyra questioned though the sound of someone crying could be heard which was him as he said something unexpected.
"T-thank you….at leastt she at peace now…she always talked about seeing her family. So did diego along with aarne"zane thanked as he released himself from him but this caught mei attention hearing wife mentioned by the freak.
"What do you mean by aarne?"mei questioned confused as they all got silent for a moment as the haven students looked away as cardin glacned at the one labeled gamma as he sighed ehavily picking it up walking over with it.
"Look miss…how do you know this aarne women?"he asked
"I..she…she was my wife….but she died eight years ago while she went on a mission in vacuo. But all they found where her legs"mei answered to their shock they have to break this news to her as qrow sighed walking over guiding his old friend to sit down.
"Shen…you gotta prepare for what we gotta tell you. Look during the fall ran into that nevermore knight that was killed by well…me."qrow started which confused her.
"What are you implying? That my wife was some sort of monster theirs no way that is true. Your all messing with me right? Because my wife wouldn't harm a soul…she wouldn;t…my partner would never kill someone"mei said on the verge of tears as cardin sighed placing the dossier infront of her.
"He aint lying….because just read the file here were sorry for your loss"cardin softly said
Mei ehsianlty picked up the dossier in hand with shaky hands as she flipped it as some viewed over her shoulder seeing aarne crowlrly ontop of the file. But her picture showed her with a scared look right now along with a busted lip and black eye as she held her brusied arm. It showed pictures of someone on an operating table getting wings surgically grafted on their back along with a picture of her getting prosthetics legs on.
Ame looked at the passage"Aarne crowley also known as subject gamma. The subject was a mistral huntress and apart of team MAYO. the capture of the subject was succefsul by luring her into a fake mission which allowed…tyrian and conri to capture her with the assistance of dorian. But resulted in her legs being sliced off which made her be fitted with prothseitcs. Nevermore wings were surgically grafted onto her skin along for recon"she couldn;t read the rest as it was blacked out.
Though mei sat their just in complete shock right now seeing her wife that she loved dearly over the years. Her partner on her team she fell for long ago as the women just broke down crying hugging herself right now.
"No…no…not my crow…not her…please come back…please"mei said ugly crying right now as diamona sighed walking over hugging her friend using her semblance to calm her nerves right now sushing her.
"It'll be alright dear…shes in a better place now she at peace now. I'm so sorry"diamona soothed as mei hugged her crying still as a few of them picked up other dossier as bombay looked over conris for a bit to her shock saying he was the first grimm knight.
"That m-mutt…was the first grimm knight….he…he volunteered to become a monster"bombay said in shock as dravan skimmed through diegos chcukling a little what he read.
"Seems it took a whole heap of them to take my old sparring partner down….let me guess he got a proper burial?"Dravan asked as some nodded
"Uncle did….dad was very hurt hearing he was actually alive. But auntie and sombra are handling it alright now that hes home now"onxyia replied smiling her uncle had a proper burial. While mercury was squimming through kiyo file rogue noticed one labeled sigma which made her curious recalling who selekt talked to during her imprisonment.
"Whos sigma?"rogue aksed picking it up as suddenly zane head start to hurt as he held it crying in pain a little as suddenly a memory flash went off. Then it showed someone in a tube with deathstalker like features with the words sigma on their tube.
"Hey you alright over their or is that thing taking over?"bahsira asked with a hand on her sword as the tiger growled at her again for doing that. But he shook his head.
"N-no…just got a memory flash…of sigma…or by her name selket callows…she…was…umm….nevermind its nothing important"he quickly said which peeked their interest as qrow eyed him down
"What you hiding things from us…well lets see whats in this file right here then"qrow said as rogue placed it on a table which showed a creepy family picture of a normal looking selket who had tan skin with deep green eyes. Along with tyrian stinger wrapped around her shoulder with a younger rosemary in it.
"Okay not creepy at all seeing the three psychos here in some messed up family picture"perun joked
"Your telling me psycho here was a nutcase back in deepwald. Lucky we stopped her but too bad their are seven more grimm knights running around now"merucyr casually said which caught them offguard hearing their were more of them as most of them groaned at that.
"Their are more of them!?"may shouted in annoyance
Velvet groaned holding her ears"we had a hard time dealing with twleve now we have nineteen of them thats just great"she said upset which gave ruby and her group confused looks as mercury glanced toward asani who he was surprised was here with them actually since she helped desotry the mining camp.
"Surprised she didn't tell you since it was back in deepwald"merucyr said pointing to her making them all eye her as her mask displayed a scared emoticon.
"Are you serious?! Why didn't you tell us about their being more fo them?"yang asked as her eyes flick to crimson though asani flicnhed preparing herself to get hit right now which caught the blonde offguard.
"I'm sorry!...i…i forgot alright…i was…just h-happy…to be away from yohi finally…it…it slipped my mind. Please don't hit me"asani begged stuttering in fear which made them back off on that as naida sighed walking over hugging her younger adoptive daughter petting the back of her head.
"Its okay…no one going to hit you because of that at least we know what were dealing with."nadia softly comforted as asani leaned into it as they didn't really be bother by her forgetting. Though eria noticed her now alive leader files reaching for it grabbing it as next to her was jaune along with neptune.
"Oh…you also have yours"eria said opening it already as they tried to sotp her.
"Wait don't open that one"may said but it was too late as she opened it but it made her flinch at what she was seeing. A younger version of her leader but with several bruises all over his arms and on his cheek with a black eye. Jaune looked shocked glancing at his friend who just buried his face into his knees
"Whoa…uh that isn't unsettling to see on a kid"neptune admitted surprised glancing at him
Eria looked horrified seeing him with that many bruises"ummm i…uh lets just close that one alright..though are you doing okay over their?"She asked as he sighed covering his neck with both hands.
"I'm fine…happend a long time ago…don't wanna talk about it"he quietly said but they heard him as nadia quickly snatched his files placing it in her jakcet as jaune sort of understood now why he never talked about that time in the lab. Though after going through the files they all set them down to get back to the matter at hand.
"Though four days not alot of time in my opinion"yang said
"No but its enough time for us to warn any other students and the headmaster so they'll have time to evacuate. Along with gathering forces to defend the tower just incase"adam stated
"Are you sure we should be talking to lionheart? Bombay and the others are saying that hes been acting weird for the last month and few weeks. Like something got him on edge"Ruby said which the others nodded at her assumption.
"Something got him spooked and not in a friendly way. He locks himself in his office for hours on end while we are kept in the dark. What hes doing is really starting to make me speculate"bombay said
Raven spoke up next"you think lionhearts gone traditor?"ravens tated
Bombay shock her head"can't say for sure. I'll have to get in their myself and see whats hes up too"She said which the others nodded in agreement on what she should do.
"Yeah but that is weird…back in vacuo father mentioned how the unseen eye and crimson talon tried to kidnap his daugher bastet with her duaghter lavi neaman"eria mentioned which made qrow come to something.
"Maybe they got something that he cheirshes deeply about. He cares alot for his wife and daughter like their the most important thing in the world. Maybe they kidnapped her"qrow suggested as they nodded at the possibilite.
"So…not to change the subject and all that but whats farmboy over here for?"Cardin asked gesturing toward oscar.
Weiss sighed as she figured that someone would bring this up and they might as well get it over with
"Oscar is he able to talk?"weiss asked which got the others staring at her which confused looks while raven and qrow just wiated patiently.
"Oh um…yeah just give me a moment"he said closing his eyes for a moment
"Ozpin i think they want to talk to you"he said internally
"Very well. I'll take it from here oscar though ask chimera take control again in a bit"ozpin said to him as he took control
Once he opened his eyes as their was a hint of gold in them. He held his cane as he pressed the lever causing the pole to extend to its cane length
"Its good to see you all again. My apologies for the short delay"he said but everyone was stilled confused all for the ones that knew.
"Um…are you okay oscar"ruby asked
"I'm perfectly fine miss rose. Though i may appear in this form you might of known me as….ozpin"ozpin finally siad which made everyone go slack jaw upon hearing that.
Raven and qrow however just stared at him for a moment then it suddenly came to them.
"Of course. You died up their at beacon and then reincarnated into a different host"Raven said
"Thank you raven. Though i wish we could've met under better cirusmtances"ozpin replied
"Whoa! Whoa! Back up a minute! How do we know that this is ozpin? Say something that only ozpin would know about?"Caridn questioned chanllegng this ozpin
"Hmm if i need to prove it lets see you harassed and blackmailed . Along with that posioning the blonde hayley girl along with bashing upside the head. Then your punsihemtn…a maid dress"ozpin said with a grin making the guy blush at that which earned some looks he did that as dravan cracked his knuckle.
"You tried to posion my niece?"he asked growling readying his fist but rogue got in his way protecting her friend.
"Hold up uncle were all cool now hes learned his lesson. Plus hes a very good friend now…anyone else gonna back me up?"she asked as several of them raised their hands as the jackal thought for a moment but kept his piece for now wanting to question him later.
Though onxyia gave a very skeptical look at this so called ozpin.
"How do we know your him exactly he died"she questioned
"Seems is doubting me though i do believe that you and your team did stop an attack on the highway that invovled here. While got his hands sliced up"ozpin said which caught her by surprised
"Wait…only ozpin knows that so i guess you are him"onxyia said now knowing it was ozpin infront of them.
"Though we have much to discuss that you all need to hear. Though please give omega control"ozpin asked as he heisated at first before handing over control to bane who crossed his arms.
"Well…well…the mighty ozpin…mothers talked about you plenty of times. Names bane by the way omega sounds like a codename"bane replied which made them very weary of him now.
Bashira eyed him down"pretty sure we should kick the freak out because he might reveal things to his allies"she stated
"She right…i don't trust it one bit because it is a murder"tyra added making bane flinch slightly as raven noticed it which made her curious for later. Though bombay got close placing a schimatar near his throat which didn't phaze him.
"Better not try anything or we'll skewer you where you–"she was stopped as he grabbed her wrist making her drop her weapon sqeezing on it as this didn't help his current reputation right now. Qrow drew his broadsword pointing it directly at him right now.
"Drop the girl. Or else we'll just lock you up or i'll put you down myself"qrow warned as bane gave him an icy glare releasing bombay wrist as she held it then he stepped forward looking at the man just simplifying chcukling at him.
"Whats so funny?"ame asked irritated as he hummed a little
"Nothing just that summer rose seems to trust me well enough…pretty sure that puts me on the trusting side. Since she did run into eleven of my siblings before"bane answered catching him offguard hearing summer name being mentioned as ruby interest was peeked.
"Wait..is…is my mom on her way here?"ruby aksed teary eyed right now as yang frowned because she wanted to keep that a surprise sighing before leaning over hugging her little sister.
"She is sis….though before you ask aunt verona might not be with her. Probably keeping an eye on luna"yang said shooting down that option for a quick reunion now though qrow backed off for now wanting to ask it some question later.
"But as you know when i was in my original body i had some assiantace that aced as my spies to keep me ifnroemd of any problems that were occurring on remnant. Raven and qrow were one of my assistance while they were venturing around looking for summer. However it became clear that as they wouldn't be able to get around quickly so i gave them something that would help.
Ruby went through her thought and remember how her dad and aunt raven would explain how she was able to turn into their name skates
"You mean…ozpin.."ruby said starting to put things together.
Raven chuckled"yep what if i told you that magic was actually real?"raven asked them as they stared at her rather strangely.
"Really? Magic? But isn't that just fantasy"jaune siad
"True but some say that magic is a fantasy but given how long ozpin been around…that doens't sound far fetched"qrow said as right then and their his body shifted into his brid form which surprised mostly everyone in the room before turning back to his human form.
"Okay that was both creepy and kinda cool at the same time"may commented
"That was how i was able to travel everywhere around remnant because oz here gave me this ability along with…my sister over here"qrow said
"So you can basically transform into a bird. That pretty helpful for stealth and gathering information. Impressive"ame added
"Yes. with their help i've mnaaged to stay a few steps ahead of our enemy. That is until beacon fell which was something i didn't predict. Though i'm sorry you were used by them "ozpin said which broguth the mood down a little bit on everyone but mostly zane since he caused that tragedy and caused all that destrcution as he hugged himself shaking since bane released control.
"Oh…r-right..that…was pretty stupid for even going to beacon i guess. Not like it going to mean anything but…sorry"he said focing a small smile right now which diamona looked concerned about seeing very dark bags under his eyes like he hasn;t slept at all right now.
Zephyra scoffed"not like that will bring anyone back in my opinion if you think you did nothing wrong"She replied
"Got you right their because seriously we need to keep you away from anything we discuss around here. Who know when you'll attack us"tyra added as qrow nodded
"With those mental suggestion still in your head your a threat. So whenever we meet about this stuff your not allowed to be apart of it"qrow codly said though they actually had very great news on that.
"Actually…we got rid of the mental suggestion back in vale"cardin mentioned making some of them grow quite hearing that. As jaune just smiled hearing that his friend couldn't be control anymore as rogue sat their in complete shock right now. That her partner actually doesn't have them
"Wait…are…are you actually serious?"meurcyr asked with hope
Nora hugged the closest person that being may who gasped for air at that moment"are you guys actually lying to us?! Please tell us your not lying to us because that would be great news"She cheered as the tiger was happy some of them seemed nice.
"Yep we used someone semblance back in vale to find the memroie linked to his mental suggestion. Lynx boy even confirmed it several times with us that they were gone"yang added as rogue had some tears on her face before suddenly hugging her leader who jumped a little by the sudden embrace.
"Thats great to hear! That means that psycho scientist watts can't control you anymore"rogue cheered in joy as he visible flinch shaking a little hearing that name which didn't go unnoticed.
"You doing arlight over their?"perun asked as rogue looked at him starting to shake right now as he kept taking slow breaths to keep his pulse under control as she let him go shocked. Though she also still mad at him for what he did but was concerned none the less.
"Yeah because all she said was that watts guys name"neptune stupidly said making him flinch again as he hugged himself pulling his hood up. Which earned some glares.
"Water boy your an idiot kinda obvious that guys uh freaked out hearing his name. Lets just keep that name out of here alright."falk mentioned as some nodded as he finally got clamed down but felt very embarrassed they saw that.
"Alright thats great to hear though anything else we need to hear because i still don't trust that bug. Because he can turn into a giant grimm monster"perun added though cardin opened his mouth right now.
"Actually he can control it now if you believe it or not"cardin commented sparking their interest as eira titled her head.
"He can control that giant grimm form of his?"eira asked not buying it.
"You mean how he almost tore yang head off during that night at the pier"nora added as the blondie looked away by hearing that as he looked down upset.
Ozpin seemed rather interested hearing that" if you could perhaps why don't you show it to prove your not a threat maybe. Because for starters i'm fine with the boy being apart of any meetings involved in this"he said to some surprise he supports him as some knew the cost of him giving control.
"Wait don't let him do that because he–"neo was stopped mid sign as he spoke up.
"Fine…i'll do it…then umm just give me some space…and sorry if it creeps you out"he soflty replied as some of them backed up giving him some space as he relaxed his breathing as his eyes shifted to crimson red. Then his body started to crack and he started to grow in size as he looked visible in pain as some found it very disturbing.
"Alright this isn't disturbing at all right now"tyra said in horror as neptune fainted by the sight of it landing on a couch. They all looked disgusted by it until finally their standing in the room with them was a grimm like creature as they all held their weapons close on hand.
"So…he can actually turn into a giant grimm….okay…i'm very scared now"bombay said in complete fear
"Yeah because uh we may out number him but were in a pretty small space right now"mei added drawing her halbrad at that moment. All of them were on edge right now but shockingly the creature just sat their before laying down placing it chin on the ground as its tail curled around its body. They all found this very surprising right now.
"Oh my god this is so cool! We have a giant grimm on our side now!"nora cheered in excitement.
"But that looked very painful…seriously when they showed it on the news i couldn't believe this type of grimm existed"thsiite added taking very far steps back. Rogue had an idea before climbing ontop of his back which worried them but the creature just layed their snorting a little with steam coming out of its mouth.
"This is awesome! Right now i'm having alot of emotion right now but seriously now we have a secret weapon!"She cheered at the possibilities. But as ruby stepped forward toward the creature a little this resulted in it getting startled making rogue fall off. Then it retreated a nearby corner whining in complete fear.
They all eyed ruby"So hes scared of the short stack over here….funny"lazuli added
"Kinda of obvious since those eyes of her hurt grimm though srurpsied it aint attacking us right now. But why do you look anger"raven aksed looking at nadia who crossed her arms with a disappointed look.
I don't know because i thought we agreed that this while be only used for emenrgecys. Because your so unbelievable dumb right now. I understand you should have showed them it but not at the cost of your lifespan or humanity!"she scolded making them wide eyed as the creature who whined a little before turning into goo as it spalltered on the ground to their disgust. Though zane stood up coughing and gagging spitting out some black tar in his mouth.
"Ughh it got in my mouth eww…eww"jaune said whipping his tongue as eria was covered in black goo as she stared at zane who stood up wobbling a little.
"You nimoritic clown! Tell us something like this before you think hey let me throw one month away! I swear you drive my patients through the roof!"eria shouted in annoyance
"Ughh i think i need a shower because now i–"thisitie stopped as the goo turned into dust scattering away to the winds right now.
"Nevermind though yeah that will be used as an emergency you good over their?"cardin asked as he nodded stumbling a little but panted before sitting against a wall panting for air.
"I'm fine….pretty tired….wears me down"he replied
"Never the less we no know about the white fang that are coming this way. This gives us time to prepare a counterattack against them. What i'm weary about is lionheart? If what miss sage says is ture then we need be extra cautious. For now we keep him at arms length"ozpin siad which everyone agreed on.
"So how about some lunch i'm sure you all are probably hunger after your trip"ame suggested
"Oh yeah i'm starving"ruby said then turned to rogue
"Hey maybe after we eat we can spar for a bit"she asked
Rogue gave a small smirk"sure. Oh actually why don't we all train been a while since we've been together as a team"rogue said excited
"Hmm that sounds nice because i need to teach you a lesson…for running away remember"eria coldly scolded as the blonde forgot about that.
"We do have a training area you all can use. I'll certianly help you all but not him"mei said pointing to the grimm hybrid.
"Lady…your not going to do that to him. Hes got a right to be here deal with it"may said shoving her back even. This caused mei to shoot a glare but noticed some returning it as she was going to regret this.
"Fine…but hes needs to be supervised at all times every hour of the day""mei replied as they nodded in agrement.
"Well me and qrow here will stay with ozpin. See what kind of strategy we can come up with"Raven replied
Though that was when falk approached wiess"hey snow angel think we can talk for a moment. Theres something i need to tell you"falk asked
"Oh sure. What is it about?"weiss said back
"Privately"falk said which got weiss attention as the two left the lounge
"What do you say jaune. Up for some training too?"cardin said with a competitive grin on his face.
"On your on. I'll warn you though i'm not the same like back at beacon"jaune said as the two stared each other down
"Pssh boys am i right?"nora said as most of the girls here nodded in agreement. Though velvet got up from her seat and started to walk toward the door out of the lounge area.
"I'm going to get some air"Velvet said as yang watched the rabbit faunus leave but noticed a small tear escape her eyes.
"I'll be right back wolf ears follow me"yang added as the two followed after velvet in a full sprint heading outside of the academy ground. This made the two give chase after the rabbit faunus but with velvet having a head start they would have to go into a full sprint to keep up with her.
"Hey vel wait up!"yang shouted and sprinted after the rabbit faunus.
"Where are you going bun?"onxyia thought as she gave chase after her.
They saw velvet make a sudden left turn which made them give chase after her. Yang and onxyia gave chase after her for nother ten minutes until she saw her run into a park. They decided carefully walk into the park to follow her.
In the park their was an assortment of equipment for children to play on along with a huge playground for the kids. There were basketball hoops as well for some of the older kids. She spotted velvet sitting on a swing but she had a rather downcasted look on her fact that was rather easy to read like she was thinking about something but not sure how to go about it.
Yang walked over to another swing as onxyia did the same sitting on ones next to velvet. Just as she was about to speak velvet spoke.
"You two didn't have to follow me you know"velvet said not even looking at them.
"Well i can't but feel concerned for my girlfriend. Plus it looked like you have something on your mind. I'm always willing to lends an ear"onxyia said
"She right because everything been pretty chaotic lately"yang added
"No. im fine i just need to sort it out myself"velvet started
"Pssh. c'mon i know something is bothering you were dating you can tell me anything if you need to let it out"onxyia said but it only seemed to bother velvet more.
"I told you i'm fine. Could you just leave me alone"She said her voice almost turning into a growl
"Not until you tell us whats wrong. Because its not healthy to bottle it up look at your boyfriend for example."yang continued to pester but velvet had enough
"Why do you want to know?!"she shotued getting up from the swing as the two quickly followed
"Because i wasn't their for you when you grieved. Whats gotten into you bun?"onxyia asked with worry on her face.
"Oh really? Everyone acting like they did back in menagerie now and it might make things worse!"velvet shoiuting finally getting out her frustration unknown to them someone else followed them close by.
That when it clicked in yang and onxyia mind what she was talking about
"Your worried if everyone will act like they did in menagerie…aren't you?"yang asked as this time velvet got quiet for a moment before she found the strength in her voice again to speak
"Even after the tournament finished when the grimm were attacking i went with my teammates to try and find anyone we knew. But also seeing my own boyfriend try to shoot himself hurt to watch. I didn't know what to think at the time but when i started searching for him in the city. I was meet by adder trying to kill me and he almost did. He had his blade so close over my head but when i closed my eyes expecting the worse. He saved me…going into that monster form then we ran"velvet started as they listened
Tears formed around velvet eyes as she continued"I thought I was going to die then and there. After the shcok knowing that he was porabbly dead then i hear yatsu and fox are dead too. I was so scared that day then the bullying came. Darcy spread so many rumors that made people just throw bricks or call me slurs for a month straight. Cardin and coco protected me but seeing him alive made me happy again. But all that abuse in vale was heartbreaking to see done to him along with how we all got into a fight if he was a threat. "Velvet said wrapping her arms around herself as tears flowed down her cheeks
Onxyai apporahced her and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend hugging her tight enough that she was comfortable but velvet nuzzled into her
"I don't want what happened in menagerie to happen again. He might..actually…consider sucide because he always so scared. But i miss my teammates so much…the friendship we formed"velvet said not even stopping her own tears as she nuzzled into onxyia arms.
"Hey easy now. Nobody could've known that would happen alright. Ozpin coudlnt' even have known that those four snuck their way into the academy but for one i'm sure everything will be alright you made sure everyone got out safe. That what mattered right. Besides if those four show up again ad try to hurt you they'll have to go through me first."onxyia said in confidence
Yang smacked her fist together"same here and we'll help make sure things don't start like menagerie again. Rather not have everyone at each other throats again"she added
Velvet stared up at onxyia as her brown eyes met yellow and black. Onxyia let go of velvet as she used her thumb to wipe away a tear.
"Now lets head back to the others"yang sais as she nodded
"You know something yang kinda sounds like Cera"velvet replied
"Oh. an old girlfriend"onxyia said neoruvsly but velvet made a disgusted look.
"Ew. no. you and grimmy are my first. She my older sister. Cera scarlatine. Though she was kinda of the supposed bad egg of the family. She would run out and she sold fake items to rip people off then one day she goot too much over her head and an undercover cop caught her and she was arrested. I don't know what happend after that."velvet replied
"You never told me you had a sister…well i never did ask"onxyia said
"Man that rough. How'd your family take it?"yang asked
"Not so great. They pretty much cut all contact with her and cut her off completely from all finances pretty much left her to hang and dry. Me…i was sadden to what happened to my sister but my family wanted to move on. My parents though occasionally give her a bit of money. But i decided to become a huntress to sort of honor my sister in a way cause she always dreamt of becoming a huntress"velvet said
"Thats quite noble of you. I know me and ruby are well sister by blood even though uncle is acutally her dad"yang siad catching the two offguard.
"Wait hes her dad?!"the two shouted in unison as she forgot to mention that
"Right forgot to mention that i'll expalin later. But still i'm going to treat her like a sister and would do anything for her. Though we should start heading back before they start worrying about where we are"yang said and with that the three left the park and began their long back to the academy. Though eavesdropping close by was eria along with perun who eyed each other with curiosity. What happened on menagerie?
Meanwhile with weiss and falk with lazuli who was told to follow as the three found somewhere the two could talk rather pirvately though it still brought some concern to weiss as to what her boyfriend wanted to talk about. The two were now standing outside near one of the CCT towers.
"So is their something you wanted to tell me falk. You wanted to talk in private"weiss added
Falk rubbed his head unsure how to approach the question"yeah just, you know gathering my thought a moment plus i'm sure exactly how you would take the news i'm trying to you so i just need to ask a question. Did your father ever mention another heiress tot eh shcnee family?"falk asked
Eiss ponder that question for a moment before she answer a small scowl on her face"he did mention something liek that a few years ago. He said if he only had that other daughter of his then his legacy would be safe or something along those lines. Why'd you ask?"weiss questioned
"Yeah where is this leading sky guy?"lazuli added
Suffering his hands in his pockets he clenched into fists"lets just say your mom sent something to the detectives in argus. Something i'm rather disgusted by"falk said with venom in his words.
Surprised weiss apporahced her bofyriend"okay…just what is it that she sent them?"She aksed gently
Falk mumbled but revoked his hands from his pocket as he pulled out something and hands it to weiss as lazuli looked over. It seemed to be a crumpled and somewhat wadded up, fodled piece of paper that falk was all too familiar with.
Taking the paper and unfodling it weiss began to read over its contents"looks like some kind of DNA test results"weiss thought to hserlf. She read over it slowly, and as she went the more she understood, and more turbelnet her emotions started to become. At first there was confusion which slowly morphed to shock, and then rage. Her hands shook and she screamed before ripping the paper to shreds
"Why that no good bastard!"wiess shotued a look that was a mix of disbalied and rage on her face.
She panted heavily but slowly began to calm herself as relaization hit her"So yur saying that paper says that jacuqe has another daughter. Which would me that i.."weiss started
Lazuli looked shocked bu pieced it together anger herself"half sister. But that name is from a different father and mother. Isn't she one of robyn workers?"she asked as he nodded
Weiss put a hand on her head still trying to get over the shock that she has another sister without even knowing it
"She is your family. Even if he denies it. You can still care for her no matter what he says to you"a soothing female voice said in wiess head a small mekroy coming over her..
Weiss takes a small breath and deicddd to speak now"i think i know who her mother is…one day my father whipped me and whitley pretty bad. Then i ran into someone i think one of our maids. One of our faunus maids"weiss said peeking their interest.
"She asked us what happened, but we reufsed to talk mother was on a business trip that day. She took it in stride though, and chuckled having no problem with it, she still treated our bleeding backs"weiss kept going as she fodnly remembered what happened
"To keep me clam during it she…she wrapped me in her tail around me. Her fluffy, white fox tail. It…it really helped me"weiss eexpalined
"So what…white fox tail thats just like.."lazuli said in shock
Falk nodded"that matchs yuri despcriton perfectly joanna found her abandoned on the streets anything else?"replied
Weiss though long and hard about things as something did come to her"aurora. Her name is aurore"weiss said recalling the womens name.
"Its not much to go on but…when i get my hands on him hes not going to like what i do to him"falk growled
"Oh i'm right there with you but simpply going after him isn't just something you do. You have to plan and be gather evidence before going after him. Trust me when i say that many tried and none of them succeeded. For now why don't we put that on the back burner"weiss said
"Though you know that means whitley, winter, and your little brother have a half sister now. You fine with that?"lazuli mentioned
"Yes. winter will be anger but welcome her while whitley and wren will be excited. Mother will welcome her with open arms i'm sure"weiss aded. They all decided to return to the others hoping tonight will be calm and relaxing.
It seems that weiss has learned of her other sister she has back in atlas. Though velvet seemed worried if what happened in menagerie will happen again, which was evasdropped on by eria and perun. Though lets hope that isn't the case. Thanks for reading!
