Chapter 121:Love boat
Although on the opposite side of the ship right now in the medical deck was xander. As the young wolf xander blair was in the process of getting some ice for his sore joints. Along with something to help him since he felt like he strained or tore a joint fromm his dad training. If theirs one thing his dad loves its a good fight.
But with him was his mother who was busy talking with lisa as she had a clipboard in hand. As the women was helping her organzie her staff since she had epxienrce. While they had casually conversation amongst themselves.
"Alright you need to be prepared for any medical suppiles we might need for when we get to havan. Also have someone oversee and double check the medical suppiles we have on hand. "Lisa said to a nurse who nodded
"Yes do you need anything else doctor blair?"the nurse asked
"No thank you dear. But i'll be here if you all run into any trouble just come here if you need anything"katherine replied as the nurse walked off to complete her task.
While the two women began to talk xander stared at the golden feather necklace around his neck right now. Because we was thinking about whos parents he ran into right now that being bens dad. He knows that would mean his mom is around her somewhere on the ship wanting to help out.
But the nagging feeling of his guilt kept bugging him right now because he couldn't shake it. He feels incredible guilty for what he did dragging his own best friend along on a dust shop heist. Which resulted in someone he considered an older brother figure to shoot him point blank in the head.
While he was deep in though soon enough he felt his ears being touched as he blushed from the touch. As scratching behind his ear right now was his mother which made him groan
"Mom why are you doing that? Stop it because i'm not a little kid anymore"he argued but she gave a serious look.
"I don't think so mister. Because i've seen that look before with your father along with your sister. Your troubled about something or…someone right now"katherine softly said as he flinched as his ears flopped slightly because she hit the mark
The young wolf rubbed the two necklace around his neck together for a moment as they clanked together as he stared at them.
"I guess so just you know thinking about someone right now"he said with a soft tone.
Though lisa seen that look and heard that same tone before because she has experience with it. Pulling a chair beside him she gently placed a hand on his knee as he made eye contact with her.
"Dear is this about the friend you lost. That ben boy?"she asked making him flinch as he looked down in complete shame right now. It was pure silence for a moment as he finally spoke up on his feeling.
"I….i uh yeah…i feel like such an idiot right now"he said beating himself down as his mother took over kneeling down to be on his level.
"Sweetie what are you talking about? Are you talking about how that….weaver dragged you two along on that stupid dust heist"katherine asked but it was actually him who did it
"No…no i dragged him along on it. Ben kept telling me that we shoudln't involve ourselves with him and just continue our studies at signal. But no i said we can trust him and we should do it for our people. "He said with tears starting to slip and form in his eyes as his mother soften her gaze knowing where this is leading too.
Because its the same thing that happened to her daughter the night she came from vacuo telling her what she did. How she felt guilty and how she deserves to be punished or worse said that she should be dead. Recalling what she did that night she deicded to do it.
Immediately the women pulled her son into a comforting embrace as she began to stroke the back of his head in a straight path. Then she used the other hand placing it on his back rubbing it in a ciualr motion. As she held him close
"Xander….don't you dare start saying that you should have died that night. Whatever happened wasn;t your fault you didn't know that he would shoot your friend"She consoled but he didn't really believe that.
"B-but my best friend is dead…i….i should have listened to him. I…i crippled a poor man like thinking he did it…he didn't. Now he had to use porthsetic legs and…i only wanted to stay in that city to try and make up for that one thing. That one thing"he said trying not to cry but she pulled him in close wanting to comfort him through his worries. This eventually ended up with him wrapping his arms around her beginning to cry into her shoulder
"It should have been me! I was such an idiot that my best friend got killed by that stupid spider faunus! He deserves to live not me….i'm such an idiot! My best friend is gone and its all my fault"he said sobbing into her shoulder
Katherine just conosled him rubbing the back of his head gently shushing him right now as she hummed a small tune right now. As she then held it for what felt like minutes until eventually it passed. Pulling him up she began to whip the tears away with her thump on his cheek.
"Sweetie don't you dare start saying its your fault that you deserve to die. I'm sure that he doens't blame you for what happened. He was just scared, you didn't know any better on what was going on. Their is no way we can just turn back time to make up for that one mistake. But we need to live with our choice and continue living on for the people that are gone. Don't beat yourself up over it"katherine said almost laughing because she said the same exact thing to her daughter that night long ago.
The young sniffed rubbing his eyes right now as he took his mothers words in for a moment. Until eventually soon enough a knock could be heard by the door as they looked up to see a women.
That being a women who seemed in her late thirties along with her skin benign slightly tanned from the sun. as she had a small frame to her measuring in at maybe 5'4 as she had a set of dark pink eyes. While her hair was tan colored styled into a bun.
While her attire consisted of a simple black pencil skirt that had grey lining it on the bottom. As she wore open toed sandals that were tan along with wearing a simple thing wool sweater that was light blue in color. Along with wearing a wedding ring on her left hand colored in gold.
Though on her backside where her waist was a long tan colored tabbie cat tail.
"Hello kath uhh do you have a second i need your help with something"the women asked
Katherine stood up dusting herself off"of course amy. Do you need help with something right now?"She asked as the women known as amy lifted her hand up to reveal that she sliced up her palm on her right hand. She had napkins stuffed on it as they were coated in a dark red stain.
"I was cutting up some food for everyone down in the dinning hall. But i accidentally wasn't paying attention and my hand got cut up."amy said
"Oh well here let me.."katherine was stopped as her son took charge
"Uh here let me help. I'm already here though i would like to help my best friend…mom"xander quickly said because this was his friend ben mother who might be grieving for the lose of her son right now. The women smiled as she stepped inside taking a seat.
"Thank you sweetie…seems you taught your son the way around a scalpel"amy complimented
The doctor sighed as her ears twitched"i wish because apparently someone named ross taught him to complete surgery. Along with that he even did a surgery himself and was succesful. Even my old medical partner taught him a thing or to….peach beat me too it"katherine grumbled as her ears flopped in annoyance.
Amy and lisa chuckled at that as xander began to get to work. He reached into a nearby cabinet pulling out some iodine along with a small banaged. Then he walked over grabbing a cloth before gently taking the women and seeing it was still bleeding with bits of tissue paper stuck in the wound
"We need to get these out or they'll become stuck to your skin. "He said grabbing some tweezers before looking at her
"I'm going to warn you this will hurt"he warned ahead of time as she laughed
"Dear please try pushing out a baby i mean seriously. It is a pain but…its worth it for the miracle of birth"amy sadly said as her tail sagged slightly making him look down as he used the tweezers grabbing the bits of tissue paper out of the wound. Amy winced a little
"I thought you said you could handle it"lisa teased making the cat stare her down
"Ha ha sorry that it hurts a little….you probably faint by breaking one of your nail from your 5000 lien pedicure taupe"amy taunted making the sabertooth chuckle sighing as katherine giggled at that
"I wouldn't do that besides their more like 7000 lien for the standard treatment from this place i go to in atlas. I always travel their once every week to make sure my nails are the finest things in the world"lisa joked as they laughed even more. Soon enough xander was done.
Then grabbing the bottle of idicone as he twisted the cap off dumping some on the clothe. Without warning he pressed her hand as she yelped and hissed like a cat but luckily the wound start to classify. Then he wrapped her hand up in a bandaged as she stared at him.
"Excuse me sir where was your warning i have half a mind to sue"she sarcastically said
Xander chuckled slightly"well its easier if you don't warn them. Because they start to freak out with their hand moving all over the place. Why you want a sucker?"he replied with his own sarcasm
"Hmmm maybe though thank you for doing this dear. My son always said how you would also help each other when that nuisance seth and his friends would bully you"amy said somberly as he looked down as katherine frowned being reminded of one of his cronies
"Ohhh don't remind that little pest kai….he makes me so mad. Squander the best internship of his life because my daughter is dating someone. I mean seriously all he did was ether do a piss poor job since he was so distracted talking with my other female interns."she started as her ears twitched all over the place
"And hes after my daughter for her bodie! I mean seriously he has no common decency i like that boy and rabbit she dating more than him. "She finished with a huff as amy chuckled at that
"Thats interesting though when are you going to find someone. Your at that age too xander"amy teased making the young wolf face go flush as his ears flopped over as he turned away from them. He wasn't going to be the replacement for being teased since his sister not here
"I uh…um w-well..i mean uh…i don't really fancy anyone yet. I mean i might fancy someone on this ship but i…uh…wait i mean…gah!"he said fumbling his words making his mother grin at him before walking over petting his head.
"Aww isn't that just sweet…well whoever they are i'm sure you can work the courage up to ask them out. Because it should really be that hard"katherine reassured though soon enough amy left them as they stepped into the hall. Although as they did lisa noticed vance rushing past them with roland and naca right behind him
"Hmm whats going on over their with he seems to be following that lynx boy"lisa pointed out to the two wolf confusion
"I don't know maybe we should check on them to see what their doing right now"katherine suggested since she needed a break right now anyway. The three began to follow them for a bit as they did vance and his group soon stopped right outside of a certain room. That being one of the many lounge areas eavesdropping on them.
"So you think that if we question that anna chick and vergil guy in their we can see if they are you know"naca replied
"We could but from experience. We should take it easy with them i used to be a huntsman around in menagerie. I still am but we gotta take this slow"roland replied as the lynx scoffed slightly
'Makes sense since you knew how to track my cousin jerk. If you think this might fix what you did…it might"he said with a growl though soon enough katherine cleared her throat startling them right now as they almost jumped out of their skin. But calmed down seeing it was them.
"Oh its just you three…do you uh need something right now or whatever"naca asked
"Uhhh yeah because what are you guys doing right now. And what do you mean by question someone that doens't really make any sense right now"xander asked as the three got quiet for a moment before vance motioned to the inside of the lounge
They peered inside to see who was in their that being vergil who was talking with anna right now. Along with a couple of those hunters though the faunus stayed out of the room as they guessed they were being rude. Though this confused them
"Okay its just those racist hunters with arra and her group. So what?"katherine qeustioned confused
Vance moved his eyes around to make sure no one was listening to them"well okay the thing is akata found something weird. Mainly being a ring"he said confusing them right now
"Whats so important about a ring? Are they a bunch of theifs or something because its that the case we should warn the others"lisa said but they shook their head before roland decided to speak up as his tail sway
"Apperenlty this kid here believe these people are well the boy i hunted down family. Because apparently the arctic fox found this ring similar to one apparently his mother wore"roland said as naca showed a picture of it on her scroll which made katherine eyes widden seeing an extract replica of the one she saw him hold for dear life
"Wait a minute…aruna tried to grab that ring. But he was terrotiroial of it saying how it was his mother although…wouldn't make them his family. Along with sharing his semblance"kahterine said making lisa look rather puzzled right now staring at them
"Excuse what do you mean by that boy semblance being inherited. I'm so confused"lisa said
"Right…uh we can explain another time but are you sure these guys are those gravekeepers or whatever"xander asked
"Were gonna find out hang back….i'm gonna ask some questions. Then maybe peek into their heads for any intel"vance said as he walked forward with lisa deciding to join him along with roland and katherine. As naca and xander stayed near the door.
As they apporahced them anna was busy praticing her flips right now before jumping in the air as she tucked her knees into her chest. Then she rolled in the air for a moment before twisting out into a cartwheel as she did a few before doing another flip into a handstand. As she finished it off by putting pressure on her palm throwing herself up landing on her feet panting slightly
Vergil clapped for her"good job anna. At least you ad your sister raize are pratcing unlike sabinra"he complemented as the girl panted whipping the sweat off her brow
"Well you know my sister are busy searching for something she misplace. But hey i'm not complaining….kinda wish this dumb camping trip was over"she said in annoyance
"Kid your grandfather has us do this every year. We need to hunt that thing down for the man it killed. For the family….so quit being moopy about it"the hunter scolded
A female hunter noticed them whsilting to get their attention as the group turned to face the faunus. As the two hunters shot a look with one of them placing a hand near a hunting pistol on their hip in its holster eyeing them down. Which roland noticed tapping vance who nodded.
As they stayed silent for a moment vergil approached them"so uh what do you guys need? Because if my dad starting trouble i'm so sorry hes just like that"he said with a force smile.
Anna snickered"you mean how grandpa thinks your into chick's when your into guys wi–"he covered her mouth blushing glaring at her mouthing her to be quiet right now as she grinned as he removed his hand.
"Well no just well we got a few question for you right now actually"vance started but eyed the two hunters who seemed rather trigger happen as the second moved her shirt ot reveal a hunting knife strapped to her hip.
"And what would that be beast? What you wanna ask what where doing out here simple were hunting some game out here"the hunter replied
"Really? Because how you phrased something you sounded like your hunting down a grimm.
Not that it matters because well as a business women i know an interesting topic when i hear one. Maybe even start new partnerships with new partner even sponsors"she said deciding to use her business strategies to integrate them which peeked anna interest it seems.
"Oh right your like some rich women who owns uh dye buisness. Nah where good we make alot of money from our shows with our manager""anna said cheerfully as the sabertooth decided to ask
"Really? Thats interesting your family must be proud you all said you were from vacuo correct?"lisa asked tapping her cheek.
"Guessing my sister in law or someone else mentioned something like that. Sort of i grew up in vacuo but me, my brother family and dad moved to mistral not to long ago. But we like to stay close to home with auntie and our cousin"vergil replied calmly not really figuring out their integrating him. That was when vance decided to peek in his head.
As the lynx used his semblance doing some digging around as he stumbled upon him just thinking about if his family or group causing trouble. Until something about those cousins of his passed by in his thoughts.
"Let me guess you got….five cousins. Am i right?"vance asked knwoignly making them look at him weird before the hunters eyed each other figuring out what he was doing. As one of them stood up with the knife as she eyed him down.
"Why do you wanna know boy?"the hunter asked gripping the knife in her hand tight
"Oh nothing much just taking a guess. I mean its so weird since i have an adoptive cousin who recently got told hes got family their. Just out of curiosity"vance replied making vergil eye him down before eyeing anna who nodded
"I'm sorry but stay out of my head kid. Because my cousins are my own family and first off back because you don't wanna mess with us. If my pa figures out your asking us these questions he'll slice your throats open. All of you"vergil warned
As that was when the hunters decided to make their leave right with the two walking away. Once they were far enough they looked at vance for what he learned
"So did you figure anything out on the guys?"xander asked walking over with naca with her hands in her pocket.
"I did because i saw him thinking about his five cousin. Their names well i don't know lilith, some guy name laz, another women named pana, then a guy named mars then lastly hel"he said confusing them but naca and xander shared a look
"Wait that chick mentioned the same names….so…these guys might be possible allies maybe"naca said
"You'll need to explain this to us later because they seem like they might cause trouble if we confront them"roland said as they decided to make their way back to the others.
Although the hours began to tick away as inside someone private bunk room right now mainly being sienna. The women was laughing right now as she was helping her daughter pick things out at the moment for something.
"So your finally going to be asking out that little wolf boy. Finally its been too long in my opinion"sienna said shfiign through some clothes they packed to see if they might work. While aruna was in a towel after taking a shower as she held it for dear life
"Come on mom its just me asking him out…its not that big of a deal"aruna replied embrased
"Oh on the contrary it is because i mean this might be your one and only chance. Next thing we know he gets another potential lover"pearl teased
Then sneaking up behind her pinching on the hip was coco as the cat tail went straight up but covered herself up bluhsing mad glaring at the fashion monger.
"Yeah because maybe he'll have multiple partner like his sister"she teased glancing at eden who frowned at her blushing
"Shut up"she warned firmly not to even continue that
"Fine we won't continue but hey i'm glad you let me in on this. I've been so bored doing nothing except training on this tug boat"emerald replied laying on her side as she was keeping an eye on piper for the bear. Though that made jae giggle
"Aww but with what khan wanting to ask out xan we can call it the love tug boat"she joked making a terrible pun as they snickered at her as the cat growled as her tail swayed around fast.
"Do not start with crappy puns jae. Because i'm just praying and hoping right now this doesn't make things awkward between us."she said
"Also please hurry up i'm shivering over here"she added gesutring to her barely being cltohed. Soon enough her mother found something that being some tan dress pants with a maroon sweater with a pair of character shoes colored black.
"Here try these on your lucky i had these packed incase we got something nice to eat after havan"sienna said as aruna got into the bathroom looking at the clothes given to her as she didn't like them since they weren't her style. But she relented getting into them then stared into the mirror.
The shirt emphazied her frame well along with that the pants match well giving space for her tail to move around. As she shoes were very easy to walk in, she exited as coco tapped her chin nodding
"Thats perfect the guy will drop dead seeing you in that outfit i'm sure'coco compliemtned
"He sure will because katherine and me will have someone new to tease if you two succedd."sienna cooed as her daughter frowned annoyed she their next teasing target
"Okay i'm going to go to the spot to meet him….you guys will tell him to come by later."she asked
"I will i'll tell him you need help with seth or whatever he'll come running for you"pearl added as the cat nodded thanking the fish as she exited the room heading off to the meet up point to ask that question.
As the hours ticked away soon enough the night sky was completely visible as the faunus station for guard duty patrols the ship. But near the bow of the ship was aruna who was pacing like crazy waiting for that wolf to show up. But she was stressing out
"Come on your aruna khan. Daughter of sienna khan the leader of the white fang and toughest huntresses around."she said trying to psych herself up.
"I mean you've known each other your entire lifes since you where kids. I mean how weird will it be if you just say hey i like you. Wanna be my boyfriend since were praticualry family"she said to herself before her tail went droopy to the ground
"Gah! That does sound weird! Come on i can't just keep beating myself down over it i can do this…i can do this. I hope"aruna said as her confidence went up a little as she kept walking around all over the place. Until eventually the sound of footsteps could be heard as she glanced up to see him approaching.
"Oh heyya aruna pearl told me seth and his cronies are giving you trouble. Do you need help?"he asked as the cat stood their swaying around in her spot right now sighing rubbing and tugging at her shirt collar.
"Well uh no not exactly i just well…wanted to ask you a question right now. And i thought you wouldn't come if i asked it infront of everyone"Aruna said making the wolf looked confused because at times he can be dense
"What are you talking about? Let me guess if your going to ask if my sister boyfriend taught me some moves he didn;t"he replied as she shook her head staring at him for a moment as the moonlight reflected over the two casting them in its glow as she exhaled slowly to ask.
"We've known each other since we were kids…what do you see in me?"aruna asked which caught him offguard
"What are you talking about khan? "He aksed confused
"Just think about it and answer me…please"She begged
The young wolf cupped his chin deep in thought thinking about how they've known each other their entire lives. Along with that at times hes seen her be very chdilish but lately hes seen her become a little more mature over the years as he rubbed his head.
""Well uh i guess i can say you are very childish over the year. I mean you, jaz, my sister and blake literally duct tapped me to a wall. While using me as pratice for your…makeup"he said shivering as she giggled at that
"Come on it was funny i mean you ad ben looked pretty. Heck we even got your dad in on it letting it happen which was hilitours"she said snorting laughing as he laughed at that sighing
"Yeah….though i noticed lately that you've become a little more mature actually. Taking the role of an older sibling must have been a big change. Your baby brother was born while being attacked on a ship then gets kidnapped. Now he survives an attack on the island."he cotinuted as she nodded
"Well i needed to grow up….i kinda realize hey i've been very stupid over the years. I mean who would fall for someone childish like me"She said beating herself up
"Come on your not that childish its great to have a persoanlity like that i mean you can make the room erupt in laughter. Your a nice person and your pretty uh…sweet"he said blushing slightly wondering what he was going to say before she continued
"Well the same applies to you…you do got a temper like your dad. But your pretty smart seriously your treating wounds at the age of fifteen like a renowned doctor. I mean any girl would be lucky to have him since you are cute"she said casually before going bright red as her tail began to sway very fast. This made him blush as the two of them stayed silent for a moment as she decided to just say it.
"Well um…h-heyya xan…i….um know this will sound weird but do you wanna go out on a date after this"She said stuttering each words shaking nerovusly as the wolf went bright red covering his face before swallowing hard
"Ummmm…i…well…y–y-you are pretty cute so um…sure"xander answered making her stunned as she stared at him. Then she dashed across the deck locking her lips with him as he went bright red. As his ears completely flopped over as the two shared a kiss with each other. Before long they separated staring at each other.
"Wanna do it again"she asked teasingly as his brain felt like mashed potato but nodded as the two of them began to swap spit amongst themselves. But watching close by was sienna along with the others as katherine joined them in on this snickering right now.
"Awww isn't that just cute"katherine cooed in joy
"Well i guess your husband will be happy to hear your boy became a man now. Though god i'm going to have fun messing with her"sienna said as they all just decided to enjoy the show although close to the rialing near them right now as they were hiding behind a mast.
Slowly avoiding detection where a few airships as they were small enough to avoid any detection. But right now some faunus where suppose to be watching them but where busy themselves fooling around. As slowly four small airships made their way near the top of the deck
Then as a guard passed by they noticed one before reaching for a flare gun. Then they shot it off in the air as it illuminated the sky. As from the main command deck blake was their who went wide eyed seeing that before the guard called out to anyone close by
"Were under attack!"the guard called out as from the airships they opened as their passengers where sets of grimm. As in each of them where about three beowulf each with two of them quickly dusting off but then dropped something
From the bottom of their ship they dropped off two container as flying around in the air was xi who went at blinding speeds as he flew around. But grimm hybrid soon pressed down on a remorse control as the container opened. The inside of them had about three uras each as they roared.
Immediately several fuanus began climbing up onto the deck as this alerted aruna and xander who stopped their makeout session. Then the two noticed the three beowulf apporahcing them with an uras right now roaring toward its prey
"What the heck! Why are their grimm here someone was suppose to be watching out for any sign of them!"aruna shouted reaching for her weapons but relaized she didn't bring them. As xander didn't either
"Alright this isn't embarrassing because right now we don't even have our weapons on hand now. And were about to become grimm food"aruna said
"Great and just when i got a girlfriend"he stated making her blush though luckily as the beowulf lunged toward them. But as it did pistol shots rang out as the grimm growled loking back to see blake dashing forward. As the cat faunus leaped forward onto the grimm launching a ice clone into it. It impacted the grimm causing it to become frozen as she flipped her sword slashing at the ice shattering it into small pieces.
As right behind her was sun along with lilu with a few of the other spreading out to deal with the grimm close by. As iliu brought her mace back twirling it as swung into a beowulf stunning it momenrtairly. But the grimm growled at its prey swiping at her several times slashing her shirt a little. Luckily it didn't cut her but she side stepped it dodging another strike. Then she brought her chained mace back swinging the spiked ball into its head killing it as it turned to dust.
Sun kept bouncing around polevaulting with his staff avoiding the swipes from the uras. Along with that the beowulf snarled trying to pounce upon the monkey faunus. But instead of becoming its meal he rolled backwards avoiding its strike
Then he changed his weapon to hsi nuchukas as he flipped the nimble poles around in quick succession firing off fire dust shells into the grimm causing it to become on fire. The beowulf howled toward him trying to at least injured him but dashing from the side jamming a pair of machetes in its side was eden who killed it. The grimm dispapeared into dust as he noticed her.
"Oh sup bear ears…where the heck did these guys come from?"he questioned
"Don't know but…"She was stopped as she was launched by the uras as roared. This sent her flying into the mast with a loud thud as she winced. Then the grimm started to approach its new meals raising its paws to slice at her. Although soon enough the sound of an uras like roar could be heard
As the souce was coming from piper as some of the guards and tribe members where fighting the grimm off. Although suddenly as a faunus prepared for a uras to stomp on its body it stopped before planting all four paws down. Then the next thing they know they start grouping up toward piper.
With a few killing off the beowulf very easily though measuring in about six of them one of them sat down infront of the young grimm faunus who walked over petting the uras on the nose.
"Teddies don't hurt big sis"piper said innocently as the grimm let out a low roar before suddenly some of their fur started to shift to a white color. Along with the same symbol appearing before like she did with the last three uras she found. Which caught them by surprise.
But with that quick little ambush they all gathered onto the deck as soon enough someone called out from above.
"So you insolent vermin have one of siblings on board with you!"xi called out which made saber motion his guards to put a spot light on him. This caught them by surprise to see someone in a flight suit with grimm like wings on their back.
"What the hell is that thing?"a faunus questioned
"Is that one of the thirteen knights of grimm?"a worker question although lilu stared at the grimm hybrid for a minute going wide eyed. But instead of fear she had complete rage grittinng her teeth because she knows who that is….the one who took her husband away.
"You!?"lilu shouted as close by was her son who looked confused but the grimm hybrid stared down at them as most of them raised their weapons at him. Immedialty kate fired a rifle at it which hit its target in the arm. But he stared at the bullet hole laughing using his clawed hands to dig it out.
Then he dropped it down below as it took some time but the shell casing landed right down infront them as she flinched seeing that. Then he continued to speak staring them all down.
"This is warning. Continue on this path toward havan and i will personally slaughter each and everyone of you. But this is also a demand you hand over that one right now and i may let you all live another day"he said directly pointing at piper who looked up scared right now hiding behind an uras that formed a protective wall.
Blake stepped forward staring up at him"fat chance! Were not just going to run away like cowards and were not going to let you turn someone else into one of you freaks. Because no matter what we'll stop your assault in havan no matter what. Now i suggest you surrender or we can put you down"she threatened as most of the faunus raised their weapons at the ready along with the tribemembers and workers on board. The grimm hybrid stared at her as he got off the mass flying around as they kept their weapons trained on him before stopping glancing at some them as he laughed
"Well then….you've choose death then. I can smell that traditrious brother omega around here…tell him that the gargolye knight known as xi…will be seeing him soon. Along with our other siblings"he said before in blinding speed dashed away as everyone was in complete shock what they saw. Though vance and some others eyed each other thats not one of the grimm hybrids merlot mentioned
Though immediately a few faunus formed up that seemed a little scared of what they saw just now.
"We should really just hand over that thing to its sibling. It might leave us alone while we travel to havan"a faunus stated pointing toward piper as eden rushed over shielding her sister
"No! You are not sending my sister with that…that! Shes just a little girl do you really think he would just leave us all alone. They view us as threats they'll kill us no matter what"she argued but soon seth stepped forward with a small group of faunus scoffing.
"That thing is just a genetic freak. I mean seriously who would ever love something like that because heres a suggestion. Just step aside and i put a bullet in her skull right now"seth said grinning making piper visible shake turning into her sister. Though stepping forward was roland with his hunting party from before staring him down.
"Oh heyya uncle you mind backing us up on th–"mitch was stopped
"Shut your dam mouth. Because we'll listen to our chieftain and right now i'm disappointed and disgust to call you my nephew. Supporting someone that is willing to kill a child to protect his own hide. You make me sick"he said directly to him as he looked away with a shameful gaze
Ava groaned loudly"oh my god your a grimm lover now….just toss the freak overboard and we can just move to havan. Because you idiots are just cowards wanting to protect that thing"she said though zoey stepped forward shoving the girl back glaring at her.
"Kid….you and your group have ten seconds to leave right now. Because i know who was suppose to be on watch duty tonight"she said as the rat faunus huffed
"Who would that be?"she smugly asked as she growled with her tail fluffting up.
"You and that dam weasel! People almost died because of you two who were probably messing around. Now you either leave or the person going overboard will be all of you"zoey threated placing her kukri near her throat. Seeing them all being outnumber they decided to leave for now though they all regroup with everyone returning to their cabins.
"Alright guards increase the amount of people we have up here. Also someone get on those turrets just incase they come back"saber ordered some guads as walking over was ghira with zhang who noticed the current altercation.
"So it seems we have ran into one of them. This may make things troublesome but luckily we have those syringes to stun them if he comes back"ghira said
"Yes and where lucky to have dossier on them. Is he one of them?"declan asked though vance and some others shared some looks because he wasn't one of them
"I…i…that wasn;t one of them. He said his name is xi….none of the other designations match with him. I think their making more of them"yumi said which stunned them right now before swapping glances with each other.
"More of them!? Oh come on thirteen was enough how many more of them are running around now"jay whined loudly though lilu was growling in rage before walking to a crate punching it hard bursting her knuckle as mai rushed over
"Lilu what is up with you girl why are.."she was stopped
"Thats the dam thing that killed my husband! Hes the same one who attacked the village we were stationed at. I'm going after that thing and i'm going to snap his little neck then torutre him for killing abraham!"she roared in rage seething in rage but verona walked over slapping her across the face
"Go back to your bunk and control yourself now. This behavior won't be tolerated…you know what type of action that leads to"verona wared as the women scoffed walking away toward the bunks with ryuu following her. Though mai noticed that the uras weren't attacking them
"Whoa…i…their not attacking us. How is this even possible"mai siad hesitantly reaching out placing a hand on one as it didn't attack her as she petted it. Piper was humming hugging one of them
"The teddies are nice…their like a bear their very nice. The weird thing the mean mustache man did makes me make teddies good"piper innocently said which didn't explain this at all
"Huh?"emerald asked
"Oh well i think i kinda figured out what she means. You see since my sister part grimm i think she could control certain types of grimm. Uras are the easiest for her since she's part uras. Sort of making them alive with a soul"eden said as an uras licked piper in the face as she hugged it nuzzling against it.
"Well thats very impressive."Summer replied
"Yeah i know. We got some company at least for when we get to havan…hey we could stop somewhere with another ship and get a few more. Maybe have a small army of grimm ourselves"aruna suggested
"Thats not a bad idea but….it seems everyone is on edge with what happened. Wanting to kill a little girl…thats terrible"katherine commented
"I agree although…should we tell them what we found out early"akata asked which made blake raise an eyebrow at them
"What are you talking about right now?"she questioned before zoey stepped forward with something the ring they found as kali picked it up examining it.
"Those refugees in your group arra…one of those triplets dropped this ring"zoey said
'Okay so what its just a dumb ring"jazmine replied until naca pulled out another one but instead of a red gem it was an emerald colored gem as she gave kali it.
"Thats just not any ring. I'm sure you've heard me say how i found miss vis adoptive brother aunt who gifted me a ring. Those two are the same extract copies she gave me but instead with different colors"she said which made them piece it together as vance nodded
"Yeah and i dug into that vergil guys skull for a bit. Little weird how hes got a cousin named lilith and has a nephew named….loki"he said making sun eyes widden
"Wait…could these guys be those gravekeepers or something. Why are they here?"he asked
"We don't know early we chased one of those triplet down. But the thing is she mentioned how they aint related to the grimm knight from the fall. Were planning on questioning them tomorrow seems we might have possible allies on board"Declan replied which stunned some
"Well thats interesting to hear….though you all should head to bed for the night. Its late and we need to get to havan soon now"kali said as they nodded in agreement separating with each other returning to their bunks. As they had the uras stay up top watching out for any trouble. While blake prayed they make it to havan safe without running into that new grimm knight again.
But xi returned back to pyre as he told her what he saw and happened which made her smile because she might have something that will please her queen now.
It seems that another ship has set sail on well the airship. Though abigal pyra seems to have big plans for the faunus on board the ship right now. Though lets hope they can make it to havan safe.
