Chapter:Jelousy

It was now nightime in the skyes above the mountains in mistral right now as mainly everyone in their bunks were asleep right now. As jazmine was sound asleep curled up like a cat ball snoring slightly. While aruna was sprawled out in her sheets right now sleeping soundly. Jay was laying on his face drooling slightly in his sleep.

As for sun he was passed on on his back as sombra snuggled up against him. While for kate she was turned away from them sound asleep herself. With coco with a magazine over her face as she snored slightly with naca with a pair of headphones on with the slight sound of music being heard.

Their was also emerald passed out snuggling against her pillow right now while eden was holding her sister piper in a protective embrace now wanting to let go at all. Midney was snoring a little loud but it occasionally stopped mid snore sometimes. Akata was snuggling up against zoey who laying on her side right now.

As for blake she was curled up like a cat sleeping soundly right now. Although she seemed rather bothered because she kept tossing and turning occasionally in her sleep seeming to have a nightmare as sweat beated down her face.

"No…no….not them….please"blake muttered in her sleep as she was truly having a nightmare

Dream sequence

Blake soon found herself infront of havan academy but something was very different from the once proud academy that stood tall. That being that it was in complete flames as she could see several faunus fighting against dark shadow like figures. Though she was in the middle of slashing a shadowy figure down with her blade. Then she switched to her pistol blasting a few of them down for the count.

Then she started to look for someone that being her teammates and her family right now for any sign of them at that moment.

"Mom? Dad? Jazmine? Are any of you their where are you?"blake called out but got no response and decided to call out for her teammates.

"Ruby can you hear me?"she called out but got the same rseuslts as no one answered

"Weiss? Please tell your here"blake called again but got nothing as she dreaded the next one

"Yang…yang please someone answer me"she called out a third time but once again she got nothing which scared her.

The shadowy figures where slowly overwhelming the faunus cutting them down as they began to slowly retreat back down the stairs of the academy. Blake rushed over as the sahdowy figured pushed past her like she wasn't even their target.

Then she got to the stairs as something just made her eyes sink into her skull. That being a bunch of figures resmebling white fang members cheering with weapons in hand at something. That being her own father without his coat with his neck slit open as blood spilled from it onto the ground which made her scared.

But their was another that startled her mainly being one of her mother who looked beaten and battered as something was clawing at her. It seemed like a grimm like person as her throat was in its maw chewing on it. Though the last one hurt her mainly because it was her little sister.

Because jazmine was missing her porthseitc leg as someone was standing over her with it. As that someone was someone she was familiar with. Their infront of her was ollie weaver who turned toward her with a wicked grinn across his face.

"Ahhh so the mighty blake belladonna finally graces us with her presnance. How you been?"ollie taunted as she stared at him with tears running down her cheeks that felt hot.

Blake reached for gambrol shroud to attack him"i'll kill you!"she shouted out ready to strike but reached down for her blade to attack him. But something strange happened as she coudln't feel it…she coudln't actually feel her right hand right now.

Slowly looking down to see what happened her eyes went wide to see her bloody forearm that looked freshly cut. As an immense pain came to her as she tried to cry but nothing came from her voice because only silence came from her voice.

Though ollie began to laugh pacing around twirling his sword in hand as he held it sideways.

"Awww does the cat not have a piece of herself….because it was so upsetting that you weren't here for the show"ollie taunted confusing her before he gestueed to something close by as she looked in fear.

That being bonnie who had someone in her grasp mainly being her leader ruby who had a scythe buried into her chest at that moment. As blood slowlly dripped down her chest as something was wrong with her eyes. Because in bonnies hands were a pair of silver eyes as all ruby had were empty sockets in her skull. She looked beaten and battered as the women just sqeeezed them in her hands.

This started to scare her.

"No…no…not you"she thought to speak as soon something else caught her eye that being her other teammate mainly being wiess who was much worse condition

As her body was hanging off a nearby pole limp and loose as wrapped around her neck was a slave collar attached to a piece of rope. But for the heiress her body was cold and lifeless unlike her personality as white fang members kept throwing things at her cold dead body.

"No…not you….this can't be happening"she thought as she didn't want to see who was next but it felt like her eyes forced her too.

Because right in front of her was yang, her partner and girlfriend as right now the blonde layed their on her side. But she was staring up at her with cold dead lifeless eyes as her hair was torn as her right forearm was cut off as well. With her singiutre guanlents close by infront of destroyed into small piece. But what caught her offguard was a very familiar crimson red katana buried into her back.

Though a flash happened as then in ollie hands was the cat best friend onxyia. Before she could react he slit her throat as she went wide eyed before falling down to the ground as she began to choke on the blood.

This just caused blake to loose feeling in her legs as she collapsed to the ground hugging herself beginning to cry right now.

"No…no….no this can't be happening this isn't real….this isn't real"blake said to herself finally getting her voice back but soon a familiar voice called out.

"I'm afraid not darling…..you've been tricked"the voice said sounding very familiar

Regrettable she turned around and regretted it before a hand shot out grabbing her by the throat making her freeze in palace. She saw that it was adam with his white fang mask with a murderous and cold look in his eyes as she peered into them through the mask.

"You will fail at havan….we are the right way for our kind future. Kill her old friend"ollie ordered as he drove the weapon into her chest as he went for the kill as she screamed.

Dream end

Blake shot out of bed panting heavily holding her chest right now as her from that terrible nightmare. She was breathing very fast right now gasping for air as she felt like her heart was going to explode right now as she tried to keep calm but couldn;t.

Though as if almost immediately someone grabbed her by the shoulder startling her right now as she stared up at someone. That mainly being her sister along with aruna, sun and coco by her side.

"Sis….sis are you okay. Whats up with your right now?"jazmine asked as blake stared at her sister panting for air trying to breath but coudln't control her pulse right now as her arm began to sting in pain right now as she held it.

"It hurts….it hurts…make it stop….my arm"blake muttered crying slightly which caught some attention as zoey sat on the bed infront her.

"Kid eyes on me right now. Look at me….look at me"zoey said forcing her eyes on her as blake had tears slowly forming.

"Take a deep breath. Your arms alright okay i need you to relax okay. "Zoey said slowly taking her hands as blake kept gasping for air.

"On three take a deep breath with me. One…two….three"she instructed as she slowly exhaled as blake mimcied it breathing in slowly as it helped a little.

"Thats good now again, you still got both your hands""zoey instructed as the cat faunus did it a few more times to keep her pulse under control finally.

"You doing okay over here cousin"Aruna asked very concerned,

Blake swallowed for a moment gathering her surrounding seeing that everyone in their bunks were awake staring at her right now as she felt rather embarrassed they saw that. Though the cat faunus slowly got herself out of her bed sitting on the edge staring at her metal hand.

"I'm fine…just….had a nightmare is all. It felt so real"blake said flexing her hand a few good times

"Well you had us all freaked out since your sister said to let you sleep in for a bit."sun said as jazmine nodded taking a spot near her sister on the bed.

"Are you sure your okay sis? Have you been trying those exercise that miss walker taught you?"jazmine asked again concerned as blake thought for a moment if she should tell them about what it was but decided against it.

"I have….they've been helping. I just had a nightmare about my arm getting cut off is all and it started to hurt."blake answered reliving some but that didn't sit well with sun who gave her a side eye hearing that.

"Well thats fine because we gotta get dressed up for breakfast. Then we gotta come up with a plan with the others on our next move to reach havan in time"akata stated

All of them agreed on that getting dressed up and cleaned up with the nearby showers in their bunks to start their day. As they all got dressed and cleaned up ready for breakfast though as they left aruna eyed xander along the way thinking of things.

It wasn't a long walk to the messhall as they arrived seeing the faunus and tribemembers getting their fill of food for the day. While they did it seemed some of them were conversing very well since they share some similar views on faunus. Which was reassuring as some of the refugees seemed rather annoyed to room with faunus.

Once they walked inside eden was carrying piper in her arms as right now midney was gushing over her.

"Awww for someone that suppose to be some evil little grimm. I'm wondering who can be mad at this little face"she cooed booping her on the nose making the uras faunus smile a little at her.

Jau laughed slightly"yeah but i'm cuter. Goochie…coochie"he said repeatedly sticking his figner near piper face as this seemed to bother her. Eventually this soon led to the young uras opening her mouth chomping down on his finger.

Jay went wide eyed"gah! She bite me what the heck did i do to make her mad!"he said sucking on his finger as blood was drawn.

"Hey she isn't that trusting alright….shes sometimes weary of new faces"Eden sadly replied staring at her sister

"Little sister we don't bite people remember. "Eden scolded but her little sister stared at her with very big eyes right now.

"But what if some of the people here are like the scary red claw people"she inncodnely said in fear starling some as jazmine sighed stepping forward rubbing her head gently

"They aren't sweetie. You remember that blonde girl that my sister was with"jazmine as piper nodded shylyl

"Well their safe sweetie. Don't worry they aint like those creeps because i'm sure most of my guys won't hurt you"mai said eavesdropping on them joining them as they walked into the place.

"Buggy wings lady""she inocnetly said as the women laughed slightly at that.

"I'm her daughter i'm more tuned with plants…though whats that behind your ear"mai said reaching behind the girls ear before pulling out something that being a sakura flower that was bright pink in color. Then she placed it in the bears hair.

"A pretty flower for someone sweet"she added

As the uras faunus stared at her reaching her arm out as eden decided to set her sister down. Then in an instant piper wrapped her little arms around the women legs hugging them.

"Thank you pretty lady"she cutely said making their hearts melt as hesaintly mai picked her up holding her as the girl hugged her tight.

"Huh new record for her letting her hold someone. Seriously took me an entire week to let me touch her"jazmine said

"Really? Is it that bad because she seemed pretty calm with us"coco reminded

"Well you did help her pick out some clothes. Though sometimes kid can tell people have kind souls on the account their so young. But lets eat."Akata said as they all were for it right now.

As they reached the line grabbing some trays of food which mainly consisted of their breakfast being some scamrbled eggs, toast, sausage links, assorted fruits, cartons of milk, and bottle of water with cups of coffe.

They all got their fill as kate separated from them joining seth and his other cronies at another table. But she exchanged a glance with sombra as the wasp avoided her gaze sitting down. Though their group went straight toward were some familiar faces were and new faces.

Mainly being kali, summer, verona, declan, katherine,bastet, jaki,calida, saber, ryuu. But what surrpsied a few of them was seeing vergil sitting with them along with arrastra. Though kali noticed the group smiling at them as they all took their seats.

"Well your all finally out of bed for the day. We thought you'd all be lazy sleeping in"she stated

Declan chuckled"doubtful because my boy here needs to have a good old spar with his old man. Remember we gotta keep praticing"he said motioing for a punch

"God dec do me a favor and keep the punch first ask question later attitude for the white fang. Seriously man"saber jabbed as the wolf chuckled at him for a moment.

"Well sometimes its nice to have that mentality. Though still pleasure to meet more of drav family. Names ryuu"ryuu said shaking both calida and jaki hands at that moment.

"The pleasure still ours though….i'm still mad i wasn't invited to his wedding. "Calida grumbled with her hands slightly burning.

"I agree we were partner back in the day. But yet he has the balls to not invite me…the women who saved him from losing his tail that one time in beacon."kali replied which peeked some interest right now hearing that.

"Wait…he almost lost his tail? How'd that happen because he mentioned it one time when he was on booze"midney asked itnrigued

"Yeah because swapping some tales will be fun to pass the time"sun joked

Though jaki and calida glanced at each other laughing for a moment. This also had declan shake his hed laughing as summer even laughed slightly recalling something about that day. Though verona looked confused

"Whats so funny….my drav never mentioned how his tail almost got cut off?"she questioned invested now.

Calida sighed smiling"oh well you see we were sent on a mission with a few other teams. Mainly being DAND, STRQ and SAND. Their was word of increased grimm and bandit activity a while back in mistral. "She paused before eyeing the branwhen members in their group cluing them in

"Ohhhh so he almost got his tail cut off messing with our tribe. Not surprised"mai said not even shocked.

"Although if i recall that day precisely i remember that one of them a man if i recall got pissed off at dravan. Because my partner was so loud at time he didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Which resulted in this fellow to get into with him and he snuck up behind him placing a hatchet near his tail"she cotninued as she paused recalling what happened next

"Okay what happened after that?"emerald asked drinking a cup of coffee.

"What happened next was kali here descalting him down saying they were just passing through to deal with some grimm. Along with bandits, which was confirmed to be them but they had a good reason mainly being their camp being assaulted by a nest of grimm. Though luckily qrow knew him"summer continued

"Oh really who was that?"ryuu asked taking a bite as she recalled his name almost immediately.

"Oh his name was lee"Summer siad but this made ryuu choke on his eggs for a moment pounding his chest. As verona flinched hearing that as mai face drained of color. While midney flicnhed recalling the dead man face as jay yelped slightly which caught their attention.

"Whats up with you guys?"sombra questioned confused

Jaki raised an eyebrow"yes because you all seemed rather shocked by hearing that mans name"he questioned as verona swallowed hard for a moment sighing

"Look…that guy used to be our friend. But he was a traditor to the tribe by spying on us to give vernal some intel on us. Though uh don't gotta worry about him anymore"verona sorrwfully said

"Why that is the guy dead or something"jazmine asked taking a drink of her carton of milk as jay winced cracking immediately

"You mean how that guy was sliced in the throat after that lazuli chick killed him. Because if she didn't he would have killed her by keeping her head under water"jay quickly siad stunning them as midney covered his mouth right now

"Shut up you dumb idiot"midney scolded. Though vance flinched hearing that still his sister killed someone as akata gasped in shcok with tears forming slowly. Coco looked stunned herself as sun jaw was slowly slack opened as he blinked

"Wait…i…his sister killed your friend?"sun asked poitning at vance as they expected him to cry but it was the opposite.

Vance sighed messing with his food"so…guess thats out of the bag. Don't worry i already know about it….still hurt that my sister would do that"he slightly cried as yumi rubbed his back.

"Guess you should tell us what happened"yumi said as regrettable mai and verona quietly told them it. As they listened to how lee tried to kill her but she had no choice in the matter or she would die. Which seemed to relieve them.

"Thats what happened…look i'm sure she waiting to tell the others. But lets keep this on the down low"mai advised as they nodded

"Agreed….poor kid. I'll talk to her once i get these refugee somewhere. Though still surprised your with us vergil"arrastra said

Vergil drank some coffee messing with his sleeve"yes because that father of yours is awfully rude. Ungrateful for our help is more like it"declan growled as his tail thrashed

"I'm sorry for dad behavior he's very old fashion. Just on edge since he wanted to go on our yearly one month hunting trip"vergil replied

"You guys go hunting every year for a month? Why?"aruna questioned as the man messed with his figner for a moment though bastet noticed something on his hand. That being black obdisan skull ring with a light blue gemstone in its mouth peeking her interest but kept silent.

"Just some grimm for some money. We do it on the side to earn some money since my brother niece are performners"vergil replied

"Really performers for what?"jay asked

"Ever hear about the amazing masked triplets"he asked which got some ears ringing as calida eyes went wide for a moment along with naca right now as the vacuo girl dropped her utensil.

"Wait you mean your nieces are the amazing three!?"naca asked excited which surrpsied them because they thought she only liked money.

"Who the heck are these guys?"aruna asked stupidly which made calia chuckle at that.

"I've heard of those three. Their a set of performers in vacuo widely known for their tricks and skills. Lately i heard they go on tours every few months traveling from their all the way to atlas performing for the elites."calida asked

Vergil hummed"That would be my nieces…though um…i should get going i just wanted to say hi is all"he said quickly walking off which didn't bother them.

Though they all were quickly getting ready to meet in the bridge to discuss their next plan. As they finished up breakfast quickly leaving though bastet was rather curious because she seen that ring before.

Making their way back up to the bridge at that moment was ghira who was looking over a map with sienna at that moment. As some of them split off from the group to do their own things as zheng was near them as well studying the map.

"Ah their you all are, i was wondering when you'd be joining us for the day"ghira said noticing them

"I can agree because were still trying to figure out what to do to reach havan in time"sienna added studying the map

"Well miss the ship could make it their in about three days. But any other paths may spell trouble depending on the route we take"zheng replied though summer stared at the map for a moment nodding

"Actually i think where near a shortcut i know"summer said getting their attention now

"What do you mean by that sum?"sun replied

"Pull up the map if i'm right i think we could get their in time"summer siad politely. Zheng pressed a button enlargingint he map as on where they currently where as she looked it over nodding for a moment.

"Direct it about north easy of here and toward the mountains"summer siad politely as she did just that.

"There"summer siad poining out directly of a location that looked like to be nothing there at the bottom of the mountain.

"I don't see anything their"emerald said as verona slightly went wide eyed.

"Oh i recall that path. Its an old path in the mountains that people used to get to….mistral capital"verona said as it clued them in as summer smirked

"Its a straight shot to havan since i've traveled the path several times. If i'm right we should arrive in a day or two immediately"summer siad pausing for just a moment.

"Okay whats the catch because their seems to always be a catch to this sort of thing"coco questioned as arrastra stood up to speak.

"That because that path now belongs to the hana guild. Abigal took that place over about three years ago along with javi pastel help."arrastra mentioned which confused them.

"Who the heck is that guy? Another gangster"xander asked

Yumi scoffed"hes just the leader of the wave another gang from mistral just like the knuckledusters. Rumors been going around lately for the past few months how those three groups have been getting very close with each other. Despite their past"she mentioned

"I'm guessing she pretty dangerous along with him."emerald said

"Oh she is because we both gave each other scars long ago"arrastra said gently lifting a sleeve on her leather armor showing a half inch scar on her arm that looked like it went straight through.

"About took my arm off that day but asher stabbed her for me. Along with her sister back stabbing her"arrastra said folding the sleeve back up to cover the scar.

"Jeez that looked like it hurt alot"sun stated

"Oh yeah. I was screaming like high heaven through the whole thing but thanfkully bastets husband here treated my arm in time"she replied

"Well my husband may be drunk on fighting at times. But hes a wize with treating wounds…while pyke always was enamroed with legdnary huntsman and huntresses"bastet replied

"Right that guy….had a few of our own sent into the capital escorting him and some refugees"mai replied

"Okay but what about this pyre women? How can we handle her if we have to go through their turf"blake questioned the obvious.

"Thats the trickey part. I've managed to slip past them since they mainly patrol the pass above but the way i'm suggesting will help us greatly. Just have everyone be prepared for what happens next"summer said

As they all decided to split off for the day to do their own thing for now. Although right now in another part of the ship right now was sabrine with her father dante along with razputin and some of the other hunters. Along with that raiza messing with her sleeves as anna hummed in her spot.

"So dad when are we going to be rid of this filth hole. Because we gotta keep searching for it"Dante asked

"Yes. because we don't have enough time left since we pityed those refugees and tribals"a hunter questioned

Razputin seemed deep in thought as he exhaled slowly then cupped his chin sitting in a chair in their room as he opened his eyes.

"For now we wait till they let us land. Just ignore these cretins right now, because it seems these beast want to finally fight those other beast. Let the animals slaughter each other its what their good for"razputin coldy said

Vergil rubbed his neck"dad come on…look i….maybe we could help these guys. Because i'm sure auntie might.."he was stopped as razputin slammed his hand on a table making the grown man freeze upon seeing that from him meaning he pissed him off at that moment.

Razputin walked over jabbing him in the chest"we are not helping these things. We need to keep our secrets hidden because my sister youngest was a fool. That little brat spawned a devil that ruined our family name."he said firmly

The man looked down with a scared expression"i..i…a-alright….but maybe we could see about asking cousin about giving us some board when were done. Then the triplets can continue their tour"he suggested as his brother stepped in

"This is more important than their tour…besides they agree that this is more important"dante said but anna hummed titling her head in annoyance but smiled still

"I kinda don't wanna keep going on these stupid camping trips anymore."anna stated making her uncle give her a look to keep quiet. Though sabrina decided to confront her sister by tugging on her ear as she yelped slightly.

"Sis shut up. Because right now your being an idiot, we need to do this for our family"sabinra stated as the older man smirked at his grandaughter

"Well it seems someone is in agreement. Just wait here and try not to start anything with these beast."razputin said as they all left the room but as they did razie glanced at her sister hand before going wide eyed dragging her two sister around a corner.

"Uhhh what are you doing sissy?"anna asked cheerfully

Sabrina growled"it better be good that your with me on this for once"she asked but her sister looked scared

"Sis….sis your ring….where is your ring"raize questioned making her look confused as the girl looked at her hand confused

"What are you talking about its….here"she said staring at nothing on her hand. Then she began to check her pockets several times as if she was like some crazy person. But she felt nothing as her eyes filled with complete fear right now. Anna even looked scared now.

"Sis….oh where so dead. If dad or grandpa find out you lost it where so dead"she said in worried as the girl scoffed

"Look…i…i just need to look where i've been. Maybe theirs a lost and found here or whatever. We need to split up to find it okay"sabrina said with concern as the two nodded as the three splited up to look for said ring.

Although right now staring at the ring in hand was akata who was just examining it right now confused. Because she has a feeling she seen this somewhere before but coudln't place it. As right now she was in the recreation room with a few others.

Those mainly being vance and zoey who were doing arm wrestling right now. As watching them right now was naca making some bets with sombra their watching intently. Roland was their just sitting in silence for a bit as vance grunted.

"Come on cousin you can't keep it up….i'll beat you soon"he grunted putting all his effort into his arms as zoey grunted herself.

"Fat chance fish eater because…"she paused with a smirk

"Look out its that spider chick coming in for your manhood"she added

This made vance blush as he looked behind his shoulder isntivly"wait what?!"he shouted but then a thud could be heard as he glanced down at the table right now. Their on the table was his hand flat on the table as his foxy cousin smirked putting her arms up in victory.

"I win! Cough up the ten lien each of your right now"She said as some groaned because a few tribe members where close by watching handing her the money walking away. As some faunus close by cheered for her victory

Naca fist bumped"yes i had a good bet for once! I'm owed twenty lien by someone"she cutely said to sombra

The cat grumbled handing her it as naca began to count her winning right now.

"Lucky guess since shes the big bad captain for the royal guard"she replied

Roland slightly laughed"well the girls mother is also the best women in the faunus boxing league. Your ma must have taught you a few good moves i'm sure"he said as the fox shot him down with a look for a moment socffing

"She did and well i'm still rather peeved off on the little croc who hung my baby brother. Along with drowning him almost killing him"zoey growled as close by was jay who peeked over confused for a moment

"Dam you hung and drowned someone….you guys are nuts"jay commented

But the crocodile sighed in shame as his large tail swayed on the floor exhaling"look i'm still terrible sorry for my behavior toward your family. Though i know it won't make up for what i did at all….though i'm sure you don't care"he asked

The fox tapped her foot on the ground for a moment sighing staring at him"well its a start since you defended my baby brother from your nephew and his friends."she replied as he felt relived to hear that right now.

Sombra sighed"oh right mitch….seriously i wish he wasn't hanging with those guys sometimes. I miss the old geek"she commented upset

"Let me guess you guys knew each other or something back in the day"vance questioned as the alligator faunus sighed crossing his arms

"My nephew did. Heard from my sister how he spent time with a heiress and some dual trait girl alot. Though he always talked highly of those two till now….he seems to have bad role models"he replied

"Well if my brother was here he could teach him another lesson."zoey said

Though akata kept staring at the ring which naca finally noticed snatching the ring from the arctic fox grasp right now.

"Hey neat ring. Where'ds you find this beauty looks like its made of obsidian ores with a…ohh is that a rare jewel i see in its mouth"naca said examining it thinking how much its worth but the fox took it back

"Uhhh no one of those weird triplets dropped it or whatever i think. But….i can't put my finger on it but this looks familiar"akata said as someone spoke up behind her

"Thats because thats the same ring miss vix mother was gifted"bastet said startling them but that confused them hearing that right now.

"Wait what are you talking about?"jay asked but that was when vance took a closer look at the ring going wide eyed himself right now.

"Hold up…thats the same ring you gifted my cousin back in vale. The same one you said his aunt gifted to it but…it has a different color"vance stated which made zoey go wide eyed hearing that figuring something out they might be his family.

"Waittttt are you saying that those guys are his family or something"jay asked not involved in this.

Bastet hummed slihglty picking it up pocketing it"that what he exactly means. If what i'm guessing right now is true…lilith did mentioned she had an uncle with two twin brothers. And how one of them have triplets…"she paused as akata smacked her fist in her palm

"So these guys might be his family….ohhh should we go ask them"akta suggested though her fellow fox stopped her

"No…these guys might be smart. Look i think we should discuss this somewhere else right now without prying eyes. Come on"zoey said as they decided to talk somewhere else to figure out what this ring exactly means to this mysterious group fo hunters.

Although right now in the training area of the ship right now everyone was busy training for the next fight that will be coming very soon. As liliu took charge of organziing the sparring and training since she had some experience in this field actually.

Though its been well over an hour as early declan had everyone spar in a group. Mainly having his son, aruna and pearl fight against him in pair for a bit. It mainly consisted of him blowing a whistle pushing them to their limits making them feel like their going to puke. But it was worth it getting some stretches in along with fighting with each other for a bit.

Although aruna tried to impress xander by doing that little neck thing she saw back in menagerie. But unlike last time she messed it up which in turn made jazmine plant the young bengel on her butt which embrassed her right now. Though for pearl she found it very easy for her to fight easily knocking down coco of all people which impressed the fashion girl herself.

But after an hour of sparring they called it a day as declan went off to relax elsewhere in the ship. While xander rushed off in a hurry toward the medical area for some reason, he wasn't even hurt. Though right now aruna was sitting with some people with a pouty face.

That mainly being jazmine who was doing some leg stretches, with jae their helping her. Coco had a bag of ice on her cheek that was slightly red. Emerald was doing much needed maintenance on her weapons. As surpsignly pearl wasn't bothered by piper appearance who was messing with a stuff animal. With her sister close by.

"I'm still surprised that she even here. I helped out at that orphanage a few times and noticed her. Though she seems rather harmless"pearl stated

Eden sighed in relief"you have no idea how much that means to me. Some people here are rather rude toward my sister"she said eyeing close by

Mainly being seth and some of his group just sitting on the weight machines talking hogging some dumbbells. To some others annoyance but they didn't want to start anything to attract any grimm from all their commotion.

Pearl narrowed her gaze at them"oh right them…even as kids they were rude to me, xander and ben"she stated annoyed but slightly had an upset look. Jae sighed as jazmine was cracking her shoulders as it seemed to satifie the cat.

"Your not the only one girl. Seriously i miss that dumb cat too….though still funny how a cat is friends with a fish"jae joked

Jazmine stretched as she spoke"my sister is best friend with a dog. You know the saying cats and dogs hate each other"she commented as aruna stared at pearl for a moment because she wanted to make one thing clear right now and had a question

"Hey uh pearl was it?"Aruna asked

"Oh us yes that me pearl…i um…do you need something"pearl shyly asked

Aruna narrowed her gaze"so what do you think fo xander? Do you like the guy?"she asked as the other knew what was happening the girl was starting to get jealous and for what happened early. Pearl blushed slightly for a moment laughing at that for a moment

"Oh him. Well uh i think hes a great guy actually. We've known each other since we were just kids since his mom knew my dad from medical school. Along with that he actually very brave when we were kids. He always stuck up or tried to when we got bullied as kids."she sweetly started making the girl grip her fist slowly

Then she had to say it"any girl would be lucky to have him as a boyfriend"She finishe dsweetly making the cat growl hissing slightly before standing up pointing a finger in her face declaring something.

"Alrigh that its. You and me are going to duke it out right now"aruna demanded which confused the fish faunus

"What are you talking about? Did i say something wrong all i said was a girl would be lucky to have xander"pearl said again making aruna growl as she got in a fighting stance. Then she dragged the girl to the center of the ring.

Before the fish knew it the cat lunge with her fist ready but efforstly pearl blocked them guessing she wanted to relieve some stress. The two began to go at it repatly as aruna kicked her in the knee making pearl wince slightly. Though the fish faunus quickly anitciapted her punch since it was easy to see. Then she leg sweeped her making aruna fall flat on her face as she growled at the girl right now.

"Stop toying with me!"She shouted as she accidentally touched the ground making a small rock emerge from the ground. As aruna rushed forward she tried to attack her but her foot got caught on the rock making her fall on her face with a slight crunch being heard.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!"aruna said getting up as her nose was bleeding slighty

"Oh no are you okay?"pearl asked concerned as the cat swatted her hand away.

"I'm fine. I'm not going to lose to some girl to asking out xander"aruna growled back which made the fish stare at her in complete shock before beginning to laugh at her for a moment holding her stomach as this confused the girl. As the others were walking over though jazmine and jae had grins on their face

"Uhhh why are you laughing right now?"eden asked confused

Pearl finally caught her breath"i don't like xan….seriously i view that guy more like a brother. Well he used to view me like one too"she replied confusing them

"Huh? So you don't like him?"aruna asked

"Uh duh kinda obvious since pearl here used to be a guy"jazmine said which caught some of them offguard that she used to be….a guy? Which made aruna pause for a moment on her previous behavior as the light bulb went off in her head. Then stared at her fellow cat and the gecko.

"You two knew about this the entire time?!"she asked heavily embarrassed as the two began to laugh at her right now for what just happened

"Duh! Oh man pearl she thought you were after xan heart and became very jealous"jae said as the fish faunus chuckled at that.

"Well i don't view him like that…though you want help to ask my best friend out"pearl asked. This made the bengel feel very embarrassed for what she just did hearing how this potential rival wasn't even her rival. Though it seems she now has the chance to ask said wolf out.

It seems that aruna had a little spat with pearl used to be a guy actually? Before the comments start saying why would you do that, I'm bad at how it actually works. Though it also seems that blake is suffering from nightmares and zoey is supcious of these hunters.
