chapter 48:Send Off

Elsewhere right now in another part of the hotel right at this moment. While everyone else decided to go off to this hotspring that bonnet found. As the rest of them where busy preparing for a grand meal for tonight to send everyone off tomorrow for argus

As this was happening right now a certain fox faunus was buys doing something right now. That mainly being her dragging two people by their wrist somewhere right now. As colt along with sienna were being pulled by her

"Kid where are you taking us right now?"colt asked

"I was planning on going after my daughter to mess with her. But no you stopped me"sienna added

Although zoey was still staying very silent right now as she had something to ask them. Soon enough they got to a unccipued room they had in the hotel. As she dragged them inside the room she then turned around shutting the door. After that she made sure everything was locked as they looked at her concerned

"Okay kid is something bothering you?"sienna asked concerned now

"Did that racist uncle of your brothers keep bothering you or something. Because if he is"colt paused then smacked his fist together with a confident look. If he messed with her he still got his one two punch trick up his sleeve

But it wasn't actually for that right now as the fox faunus sighed rubbing her arm

"No its not that. Even though the guys been pretty docile for the last week since his family been calling him out"zoey replied

Everysince that guy appernelty threw her brother off a roof to train him. Alot of them called him out on his beahvior which made him shut up. Even his own hunters are starting to call out on his which came to a surprise to her at least

This made the two look puzzled on why they were here right now even.

"Wait…if thats not the reason. Then why did you drag us into this room for some reason"colt questioned

Deciding to instead show them something instead of answering. As the fox reached beind into her pocket as she inhaled with a heavy heart. Then she pulled out something that just made the two pause becoming stunned on the box. Because their was a small little ring box in her hand

Sienna gasped staring at her"Wait a minute…are you actually thinking of…"She didn't even get to finish as the fox nodded

"I want to try and propose to akata today after five years"zoey answered which came to an absolute shock to them. As sienna squealed a little hugging the fox right now overjoyed for her right now. With colt giving a very heart laugh

"Are you kidding me kid? You wanna finally pop the question to her right now?"Colt asked very excited since hes watch her grow over the years

"Ohhh please tell me you told your mother your doing it right now?"sienna aksed excited right now

"No…no i haven;t. I just…well you know her she'll make this way too serious. Along with teasing me right now"Zoey admitted embrassed right now as the two figured out why they were here now even.

"You want our help to get your girl somewhere to pop the question"colt asked with a grinn as she shyly nodded meaning yes

"Why don't you just do it at dinner tonight"sienna suggested

"No that would be too much pressure for us along with very embarrassing if she says no"zoey whined as they coudln't agree more on that. After a bit of thought for a moment colt sighed crossing his arms with a warm smile on his face

"Tell you what. I'll make sure no one bothers you when you ask the questions"colt begun

"And i'll tell her to meet you somwhere to ask her alright. Where will you be doing the little proposal?"sienna asked

"On the roof actually. Please don't embrass me or let it slip i'll never live it down rigth now"Zoey whined as the two nodded in agreement to help the fox out on asking her fellow fox partner a very important question that may change their lives.

Meanwhile right now in a certain part of the hotel right now that being the lounge was akata. Who was busy keeping an eye on the kids with the help of mari and kali right now. While some went out to grab groceries for tonights big feast

"I can't believe that my little girl will be heading to atlas. I will miss the time we spent together right now"kali said

"Come on kali. Just relax their going to save a kingdom right now along with the world basically. Be happy for her"mari replied making the cat sigh smiling

"Your right. Though i think might even visit the branwhen tribe to say hi to my partner. Since him and the others will be leaving for their camp to break the news"kali replied

Akata chuckled as she had dawn on her lap right now who was a small white fox curled up on her lap. She yawned a little snuggling in her lap. Akata found it a little adorable how she can change into any animal.

"Well its going to suck my foxy mom and new sister will be leaving. I've loved getting to know more of her family again"Akta replied sweetly that was when sienna called out to her

"Oh akata dear a word please"Sienna asked which kinda confused her

"Is something wrong right now ?"akata asked

"Call me by my first name dear. But i need to tell you something important"sienna said getting the other two attention

"Did something happen. Do we need to get the others for an emergency"kali asked very worried but she dismayed that immediately

"No…no. Zoey is preparing something on the roof for all of us later after we have a feast. And she needs her girlfriends help on something"sienna said

This puzzled akata right now"how bad could it be? Is it cooking because oh boy she can make a decent lunch at times. But she alot more skilled in security and fighting while i'm skillied in trickery"she said proudly

"Hmmm sort of. She just needs your help for a certain question probably to do with her new role. Since she needs to take over saber old position"Sienna said

This made the arctic fox worry immediately wondering if shes grieving still right now.

"I'm going to check on her. Keep an eye on them for me"akata said meaning the kids as she placed dawn on mari lap as the grimm pet looked confused but yawned going back to sleep right now.

Although the two women looked at sienna who was smiling like no tomorrow right now meaning something else was going on right now.

"What are you scheming right now khan? If you and that girls mother did something i wouldn't suggest it"kali warned

"But nadia went with them to the hotspring. Sienna dear is something going on right now?"mari asked as the women didn't want to hide it

"Zoey is thinking of proposing to her right now"Sienna said quietly but this stunned the two.

"Are you serious?"kali said almost yelling

Mari gasped in shock"please tell me that her mother doens't know?"She asked as she nodded as the cat went to see it unfold with the two joining her not before dropping the kids off on ilia and akasha who were close by.

Up on the roof of the hotel right now was zoey who was pacing all over the place right now. Because she was freaking out like crazy on how she was going to do this. What happens if she tell her no, what if she finds that weird.

"Ughhh c;mon this is so frustrating. I can do this i mean i passed the academy then became a captain in the faunus royal guard"she said then stop realziing she talking to herself

"Great i'm like my brother now. Okay….okay come on you can do this right now"zoey siad

Then soon enough walking up the stairs at the moment with a worried look on her face right now was akata

"Zoey. oh are you okay sienna said you needed to talk are you okay?"she asked very concerned

"No…well uh yeah i mean i did want you to come here"Zoey said embarrassed making her girlfriend look confused right now

"Foxy…if your mom put you up to messing with me. Make her mess with your siblings"akata joked making her chuckle for a moment

Then she walked over to the balcony leaning on the railing as the sun was in the distance. Along with the city below that was bustling like every other day. Akata joined her side as the two of them stared at the city below as the arttic fox smiled admiring the view

"You know i can say one thing i missed about home. The fantastic view we get every day in the capital"Akata commented

"Well in the lower levels you'll see a guy doing drugs or someone asking for change for cuddling"Zoey joked making her laugh at that because she was comply right

"Oh man your right"akata replied then zoey asked something

"Hey…snowny…what do you see in me?"she asked

"What? Why are you asking me that?"akata asked concerned by this question now

"Just please answer it"Zoey added

This made akata pause for a moment to answer"well i see a kind girl who seems like this tough serious type. But your not, you care about others along with your family. You take your job serious on wanting to protect our people leaders. And…you saved me which proves your a kind person who will have good things come her way"She explained

This made the fox smile hearing that as akata was engrossed in the view right now. Then mustering all the courage to do it she walked back without her knowing. After that she grabbed the ring box then knelt down on one knee

Zoey then cleared her throat"hey snowy please turn around"She said as akata did but relaized what she was doing gasping in shock covering her mouth

Then zoey mustered all her courage opening the ring box presenting the ring"Will you marry me?"She asked the question preparing herself

It was just pure silence between the two right now as tears started to run down akata face

"YES! WHY HAVEN;T YOU ASKED BEFORE!?"akata said in complete joy then she lunged at zoey interlocked her lips with her as it caught her offgaurd. But she smiled leaning into it with tears herself as the two tails coiled around each other on their new little status together

Watching from the stairs right now sielntly screaming was kali as mari was sieltnly clapping right now. As colt chuckled to himself curious how his friend will react to her daughter getting married now.

Although with the others right now mainly being team ZERO, RWBY, JNPR, cardin, yumi, velvet, eden, may, asani, sun, sombra, loki,falk, carmen. Their was also bonnet to keep an eye on them along with adam, lazuli, neo, jazmine, aruna, xander, nadia and lastly katherine joining them right now.

As they were approaching something that begin a medium sized building near a very lavish part of the town. It was a whole hour walk as it had a pink roof and in the back their was a large wooden fence connected to the side of the building with several steam stacks rising.

"Here we are the hostrping i found"bonnet announced

This surprised them a little"huh a little big don't you think….won't people see you know"yumi reminded but they had that covered

"We got that covered. We rented a spot out last night when i noticed it and its a private spot"bonnet reassured but a few for some reason felt very skepetical that she was the one who found this.

"Why do i feel suddenly scared right now"carmen asked

"Don't feel bad my aunt makes people feel like that always. Though lets go before you guys leave"sun cheered as they all got inside

Once inside they were met by the front desk along with some bath related items along with hair and skin product that were very expenses from the look of it. A women was their finishing up another set of customer then she noticed the large group.

"Hello quite a large group with you today"she asked

"Well i payed good money for this. I rented the private spring under wukong"bonnet said as the women typed on her computer glancing at her for a moment

"Okay that should be number seven. Just put a sigh up telling others its occupied. Along with that please no peeping on others at our springs"she said

As they all quickly got passed her to get dressed grabbing the towels provided to them. As they all got undressed in the separate changing rooms at that moment in some robes for each of them. Because they all were grouped together which puzzled them a little

"Uhhhh kinda weird how some of the rooms are walled off. Gives prison vibes replied

"You said it i mean this is nice. But i'm scared right now"jazmine said

"Oh don't be a big baby you all. Besides lets enjoy ourselves before you sent to argus"nadia supported as the monkey faunus opened the door to their private spring. That being a large enough bath that had multiple rocks on the side for the landscape right now.

But all of them noticed something immediately for starters their was only one spring. Along with that their was a big sigh that greeted them saying mixed private room. All of them went flush

"They tricked us! This is a mixed hotsrping!"carmen shouted in complete emrbassemnt

"Ohhhh i do not wanna be here right now"jaune added very flush at that as others went through this before

"Not again! This is just like auntie with the hotsrping in her house!"aruna whined in complete annoyance

Katherine giggled for a moment"Awww don't be. Besides i wasn't the one who found this place and nadia did"She said as the two women waved cheekly to them as zane glared at the soldier

"I knew you'd pull a stunt like this! You and your tricks! Your going to pay for this bon"zane growled

"Come on just get in your all young adults. Seriosuly most of you won't be teased…except for a few"nadia said as they all decided to get in to somes embarrassment right now at that moment. Mostyl all of them sat a little bit away from each other but in nora case being very close to ren the entire time.

As nora had a towel wrapped around her body that showed off her bust along with her toned legs and arms. Along with it seeming a little small on her but she didn't care. While ren who arm was luckily waterproof which also showed his body off. As he had a very toned appearance with a set of abes along with his towel around his waist.

Their was also how jaune despite being very skinny from long ago actually gained some muscle. As he had a very toned appearance actually with a set of abes now with a towel wrapped around his waist. Along with loki having an athletic appearance with his towel wrapped around how waist

Lastly it was ruby who felt mortified right now as she had a decent bust with a toned set of arms and legs with a small frame. The towel wrapped over most of her body but she balled up in complete embarrassment. Carmen had a very toned appearance and moderate bust as the towel was wrapped all over her body to her middle of her thighs

As rogue had a towel wrapped around her waist showing her large bust that seemed to be constricted in her towel. Along with that it went toward her thigh as she hummed to herself trying not to be embarrassed.

While bonnet sighed in complete relief showing off her toned arms and legs. As the towel she wore was wrapped around her body with her tail out in all its glory with a grin on her face the entire time.

Yang gave a very relaxed sigh in the water"oh man i feel amazing in this right now"She said with a relax sigh

"You um s-said it…god this is so embarrassing"Weiss said with a cherry red face as her tail wouldn't stop wagging underwater. As falk blushed avoiding her gaze.

"Awww is weiss embarrassed that her boyfriend is in here with you"carmen cooed as the herienss growled before grinning slightly

"If whitley was here. You'd be blushing mad red as well i think"weiss said making the horse faunus blush because she was right.

But cardin noticed something with jaune right now that being him shredded right now. All the training they've been doing made him go from skinny to jacked

"Yo jaune isn't the skinny twig anymore. You actually got muscles on you now except being skin and bones"cardin called out making the boy feel a little embarrassed right now

"Hes right because man today is awesome. I mean…"loki paused as all the girls shot him a look right now. Immedialty neo grabbed a towel they were using to dry throwing it at his face. Then he tried to remove it

"Remove that towel and your going to be thrown outside in your birthday suit"sombra warned as he decided to not face her wraith right now keeping it on.

"Come i'm not that built. Also stop calling me a twig…pyrrha didn't mind me looking like that"jaune argued as rogue snickered at him

"Well if big sis was here right now. She would be blushing like crazy and maybe have a nose bleed"rogue said as they laughed at that as she totally would

Eria sighed with a slight embarrassed look"she right…though i swear to god if one of you grope me. Your turned into a popsicle"She warned as slowly backing off right now was bonnet

But then the monkey faunus studied her victims right now humming for a moment. Then her eyes layed upon one person that being eden as she smirked. Swimming over behind her

"Although you seem well built for you age. I mean you five must like each other alot"bonnet said before placing both her hands onto her bust groping them making the girl yelp in surprise

"Ummm i…i…guys can we not do this right now. Their are people here"jaune said embarrassed covering his eyes as most of the boys did at that moment..

"But come on its fun. I mean now i'm understanding something…you four are hotties"bonnet commented

"I..i don't w-weather to be scared right now or die of embrassment. Please don't…do this…to me…please"eden begged as the monkey wasn;t stopping right now messing with her

Though a tiger had an idea eyeing her eldest niece who was snickering right now at this.

"Man this is just comedy gold. I feel bad for you guys right now"lazuli replied

"Great. We have to deal with teasing again i thought we'd escape it"blake groaned

Until eventually onxyia pushed the monkey faunus away as her and the other two in their little couple got close together so they wouldn't be teased

"We are not giving you guys ammo. I'm sick of this…sun your aunt is a perv"may grolwed as he was still covering his eyes

"Hey don't blame me. She was like that when she discovered what she likes….cat tail hide"sun warned making sombra slowly swim back into a corner not wanting to be next

Until suddenly soon enough lazuli felt someone behind her with a pair of hands wrapped udner her bust which made her sqeak in surprise

"Aghh w-who doing that?! I…oh no!"lazuli cried out with a flush face knwoing exactly who was behind her right now.

"Aww so you know its me. I've teased your sister back in that onsen along with my kids lovers. Well all except ruby"nadia cooed making the silver eyed teen immediately cover herself up in a ball embarrassed now

"P-p-please don't do that to me"ruby begged with the puppy dog eyes as to their shock it worked

"Okay. if you don't want me to that fine"nadia said before squeezing her niece chest but it made alot of them just snapped a look at her

"We could have asked you to not tease us!?"velvet shouted with a flush face right now in anger. As neo eys began to twitch for a moment in complete annoyance. Blake frowned knowing why

"She fell for rubys puppy dog eyes"blake said making them go oh at that moment

"Although my nieces is quite toned…i'm pretty sure the vicious terrorist is keeping his composure"nadia cooed making lazuli turn even more bright red

But right now adam was not being composed instead his face was comply flush as he even had a small nose bleed not even talking now.

"Oh my god hes having a nose bleed but uhh…."cardin paused staring at his branded eye which the faunus noticed

"What? Its just my eye…is their a problem?"adam growled slightly still red faced

"No…just that must have hurt alot. Sorry you had to go through that"cardin replied as the faunus sighed covering it with his free hand

"I'm used to it right now. Though hard to see out of this eye…its like i'm quitning out of it or i'm blind"adam replied with a small hint of a sad expression.

But soon enough lazuli broke free of her aunts grip retreating over to her boyfriend. Though she hugged him as her breast touched against his sin making him red faced again now.

"Oh great this place is just embarrassing now. Alright i'm leaving i suggest some of you do the same. Bon is notorious back in atlas for…groping girls as a joke."zane warned getting out as some of the boys agreed to follow him now

"I agree with him. Come on lets leave before something else embarrassing happens."falk agreed with jaune and cardin joining the two. But as they did bonnet was grinning right now as she slowly pulled her hand out to reveal her holding a string in hand

"Awww I don't only tease girls…I also tease guys. Bye bye towels!"she shotued before yanking on the towels of the four right now. Then the four stood there stunned, feeling a very brisk breeze go past them right now.

At that moment all the girls started to scream at that right now seeing that. As immediately the four covered their delciates right now all completely red in the face. But katherine went oh a little as bonnet was snickering right now. Weiss was red in the face dunking her head with yumi flinching as she turned away.

"Well…uhhh now we also know why pyrrha found jaune interesting"yang joke making some find this embarrassing him included.

Katherine grinned at the four girls who all four went flush in the face at what they just saw right now.

"Hmmm seems you four got lucky. Whos giving me grandbabies first?"katherine cooed which made them feel embarrassed at that moment

"Ughhh i hate your aunt right now man! Shes so dead when i get the chance!"Cardin shouted with a red face. Bonnet just kept laughing and laughing like she saw the best thing in her life. As soon enough they all decided to get dried off and leave this embracing place now.

But a few hours later as dinner got set for the night most of them were inside hearing what happened at the hot springs. With alot of them laughing right now and making fun of certain people. Though with Harper he was outside staring at the night sky sighing.'

Because everysince he visited the doctor back in atlas he hasn't really been that great with the news they broke to him. As he kept staring at the cigarette packet in his hands he kept studying it before someone spoke up behind him

"You know those are bad for your health"katherine said joining him

"I know…but hey their pretty addicting. Hard to quit them until its too late"harper said sorrowfully as the two stayed silent for a bit

"Hey don't you wanna be inside to mess with that boy my daughter is dating. It was quite funny on what happened"katherine said

Harper laughed slightly"i'm sure it was. But i need some fresh air right now i…"he stopped before beginning to cough very hard at that moment starting to wheeze. Then she immediately guided him to sit down.

"Are you sure you're okay? That cough won't go away"Katherine asked concerned as he coughed into a handkerchief hard. But as he pulled it back she went wide eyed seeing blood on it.

"Your…you're coughing up blood. I knew that wasn't a common cold…look i'll grab someone to get you to a hosptial and-"he stopped her right their

"No…nah don't tell them. Its too late for me anyway since i came back from a doctor back home"harper said coughing slightly whipping his mouth off.

"What do you mean by that. Their are several diesases or injuries that are connected to what you just did. Is it…serious?"She asked but already knew as he sighed saying it

"I have stage three lung cancer…and the doctor said i couldn't even afford my chemo thepray. So uh…like i said i don't got long"harper answered on what the doctor told him that day in atlas. This shocked her

"Sir. look…you can tell your comrades about this. You can get treatment at my clinic we have plenty of…"she was stopped again

"Lady stop. Its….too late for me anyway. I think i only got a week or two left before it gets serious. I…i just wanna enjoy myself till then…please don't tell em. Especially the kid…it'll break his heart. Only other guy who stood up to him beaitng the shit out of gundy for what he did"he said which caught her by surprise

That made her recall something imemdialty in her head hearing an article from atlas about him

"Gundy solkov. The old councilman for faunus and human relations before he got beat out by caine wilkins. A news articles said that he hired mercs and thugs attacking the wilkins home. Along with that atlas soldier where sent in to…"she stopped as he continued

"We get sent in for a hostage rescue. Started repealing off a roof while others dealt with a bomb in a building. We knock a couple guys out then…we see his eldest getting pinned down by those mercs about to rape her"he continued making her flinch

Harper chcukeld lightly"but well…lets say that kid in their your daughter dating. He stopped it…broke their nose and shot them in their nuts. Then wrapped her in a blanket saying everything will be alright. After that we breached the room and Gundy held Caine, his wife and youngest. But…caine was on the floor bleeding out"harper conited coughing slightly into his hand

"Wait…but he was alive the shot crippled him if i recall"katherine said

"Yeah but the news didn't say that once we surrounded him. He threw his youngest out a fifty story window"he said stunning her knowing she was alive

"How…how is she alive then?"She asked as he smiled gesturing to zane inside which stunned her

"That kid jumped out a fifty story building repealing as fast as he could. Saved that little girl bringing her back to her parents. Then gundy started to open his mouth. Guess who taught that bastard a lesson after what he pulled."harper said as she fiugrd out what he meant

"And what does this have to do with you and his relationship?"kahterine asked as he sighed rubbing his face

"Because he earned my respect that day. General almost shot him but I said he had a gun…grinch backed me up. Kid would have gone to beacon that day two years ago…but wasted it on that guy"he finished

The two stood their in silence for a moment before she placed a hand on him as he saw her nodding to him. Which meant she'll keep it a secret for now as they went back inside. But right now the spartan were laughing at some of them right now with red faces

"The infamous bonnet strikes again"jamal said laughing right now

Jill had an arm wrapped around zane"awww isn't that just cute…do you five wanna be left alone and do the nasty. If you want i can.."her mouth was covered by harper

"Their are kids here jill. Though congucal visits are a thing when we get back"harper joked making them all laugh at that. As they all were enjoying dinner right now before zoey and akata shared a look as sienna then got their attention.

"Everyone can you please quiet down for a moment of your time"sienna said as they all got quiet immediately

Ghira bushed his beard"is their something wrong sienna? Because i would like to enjoy the time talking to my daughter and her girlfriend family"he said. Then sienna nodded to the two fox who stood up with all eyes on them

"Well we all know some of us are leaving for vacuo. Along with atlas and well we wanted to announced something"Zoey said as akata smiled lifting her hand up to reveal a wedding ring

"Were getting married!"akata cheered making them all get silent at that moment on that annoucment

"OH MY GOD!"nora shouted at the top of her lungs. As immediately nadia got sqeeauling in joy hugging her daughter in a loving embrace at that moment with tears breaking from her eyes as they flowed. Zane jaw dropped to hear his sister was getting married right now as asani was a little confused on that.

"Congrats cousin"vance said raising a glass as neo was smiling clapping her hands in complete joy right now

"Ohhhh i am so happy for you sweetie! Whens the wedding?! We can stay another–"nadia was stopped

"We'll have it in a couple months maybe. But we can do another one all together after you guys save atlas or whatever"akata reassured as the tiger coudln't contain herself. Then colt looked at his friend other kids

"Hey little z you if your still with those four. You gonna propose to them"colt teased himself as the five went flush at thatc omeptly right now. As qrow laughed before raising a glass to everyone

"Well tomorrow were off to the trian station. Because were gonna need all the luck we can get!"qrow announced as they all raised their glasses cheering as immediately he fell backward onto the ground cause of his bad luck

They all laughed right now enjoying another night with each other before they all go their separate ways on their journey to atlas right now. As ozpin hoped they all could handle the journey to argus. The relic of knowledge clipped to his waist glowed with whispering being heard around it.

Soon enough it was another brand new morning over the city of mistral right now. But with all their bags packed for the journey along with their family and friends going to wish them their goodbyes for their journey right

"Oh i'm going to miss you my little girl"kali said hugging her daughter as her sister along with ghira joined in hugging blake right now. Blake sighed leaning into it

"I'll be fine mom…dad. Along with that stay out of trouble jaz"blake said

"Hey my girlfriend is coming with you. Though…"jazmine said before hugging neo real quick who returned it as the two held for a bit as neo planted a kiss on her forehead. While close by was also onxyia hugging both her parents along with her little brother in one big wolf cocoon.

"Be safe out their my little cub. I…i wish you didn't have to go right now. With your brother back i…"declan choked on his words at that moment.

"Dad come on relax my sister can handle herself. I mean…i'm gonna be worried about you sis but please be safe"xander added

As also near the two family right now was yang who was wishing her parents goodbye. Alongside with ilia and akasha sending the them off with sun joining them along with sombra.

"We'll be fine. Because if anyone touches us their gonna get yanged"yang said flexing her arms as they groaned at her pun. As blake flicked her on the forehead

"At least i'm stuck with this which i don't mind. But still surprised that well…your coming with us still"blake said to adam who crossed his arms as close by was jamal and alexa keeping an eye on him right now to pretend their keeping watch on a prisoner

"Well i'm more than surprised your allowing me to come. Thought i'd be executed after what happened in havan"Adam replied

"Well i wouldn't go as far as to do that. Though it seems that everyone deserves a second chance in my opinion. But i came to give you this"chadwik added seeing them off as he handed adam something. It was a small package but he stopped him

"Open it on the train. People might find your reaction strange"he advised

"Okay…though still… what about that spring?"adam asked making them confused for a moment

"Dude what are you talking about right now?"Sun asked as it came back to yang who went wide eyed smacking her face

"Oh my god! That dumb magical hotspring we found near the main camp that healed my broken ankle….wait…do you think it could give you the ability to walk again"yang said with tearys eyes as close by was port was about to see the hayleys off as he snapped his fingers

"Ah the fabled miracle spring. Actually….oobleck that old boy mentioned how it can even cure most disease. Why maybe even give you the ability to walk again"port announced which made raven go wide eyed but akasha eye began to twitch a little

"Theirs a magic hotsrping that can make me walk again! Ilia change of plans i'm camping in the woods"akasha firmly said as they laughed at that a little.

Although the man started to walk over to the hayley as verona was hugging both her nieces right now in a big hug

"Ohhh i'm going to miss you two. It was nice getting to meet the two of you"verona said upset now. As she let them go dravan held luna hand who looked at her cousins right now. Then the little bat faunus waddled over before reaching for a hug from rogue

"Cousin"luna sweetly demanded as the blonde stared at her cracking before wrapping her arm around her hugging with a couple tears shedding

"She called me cousin…suck it sis"rogue said as eria rolled her eyes

"I was the first dear sister…god your mentality at times"eria coldly said as port laughed at that for a moment

"Well dear you two are quite unique. But i wish you well on your journey for wherever it takes you. If your ever in atlas do so check up on my daughter for me."port said which they still didn't believe at times still.

But also close by was zane who was hugging his sister right now.

"I'm going to miss you guys. Please be safe out their i don't wanna lose all three of my family right now"zoey warned

"Hey where here too. Though the same applies to my sisters…please be safe out their"vance replied with worry

Lazuli sighed leaning over hugging him close not wanting to let him go but needed to.

"Don't worry vance…i'll make sure baby sis gets their safe and comes back safe. Who knows we'll even save another kingdom maybe"lazuli said. Asani neoruvsly tapped her fingers as she carried a large case that contained her helmet since it needed a part from atlas for it to work properly

"I'm sorry to be leaving again..s-s-sister…i..i don't want um…rosey getting hurt"asani stuttered which made them find that a little adorable

"Aww your first girlfriend nickname. Well when we get on board you can stay in her room with her alright."nadia said which made the girl smile at that. While dawn was in her grimm dog form on a leash walking around antsy right now

"Whats up with her?"akata asked as the grimm pet was being held be neo but the dog walked over to her master whining

"I think she might wanna come with…eh sure what the heck. A grimm will come in handy maybe you could turn into a sea feliong"zane said petting her coat as she barked panting at that. But before long the grave family came as lilith cleared her throat getting their attention.

"Please…be safe out their i rather not lose my nephew again"liltih said

"Same here besides…where gonna maybe head back home to visit our mom. Tell everyone the good news"mars said patting a case that cotnained the skull of their long dead ancestor.

"Yeah because…i don't wanna lose the only cool cousin i have"loki said which made julia stare at him bonking him on the head as krsity stood in the background feeling a little awkward being here

"And you are a jerk….though see yah cousin it was nice seeing you"julia added

Vergil chuckled slightly"yeah it was nice to see our cousin kid. Though uh…that uh ambroise guy…he uh…uhhh.."he paused with a blush as dante rolled his eyes at his brother then declan walked over laughing slightly with his wife as his daughter walked over joining her boyfriend.

"If your asking if my teammate is single….then yes. Why you fancy the dashing amrbosie?"declan joked making the grown man go flush at that as dnate rolled his eyes

"If your wondering if dad here brother he aint. Said he didn't want to say goodbye to the disappoint rather not have him start a fight"dante said but soon out of a thing air someone appeared

"I'm right here you brat""razputin said startling them right now how he just appeared despite his size

"How'd you do that?!"xander asked

"None of your business. But i only came to give a warning"Razputin said which confused them

"A warning?"vance asked as the man stared at the grimm hybrid with a serious look

"Be weary of that boy carrying that cane. Our family was trusted with many secret he kept over the years. But he still hides some…i suggest you be careful"razputin said before walking away making them confused right now

"Yeah that wasn't onmoius at all"lazuli replied as most of them began to separate from each other to return to their groups. But as zane walked away declan placed a hand on his shoulder stopping him

"Oh did i do something ?"he asked

"No..i…do me a favor and keep my daughter safe out their. Leaving her in your hands…okay."declan said offering a hand which meant he might trust him. Immediately he shook his hand

"I'll do that…if i have to even die again it'll be worth it to keep her smile buning"he replied making the man laugh slightly as they walked on.

Once the people ready to leave for argus regroups with each other they were talking with winter before they left.

"We'll be meeting you all in argus. I'm taking the hayley parents, my brother, paddy along with bonnet with me to base. Along with the nancy and carmen, henry would like to join you all"Winter said as henry scratched his chin for a moment

"Hey they ran into a murder mystery i heard last time. A dective will come in handy"henry said

"You…you shut your mouth. We don't wanna deal with that right now"emerald warned pointing a finger at him.

"I'm not excited to leave for argus again. God when we head back home how will mother react to my new…trait"weiss said

"Don't worry weiss. Team RWBY and everyone else here won't leave your side even for a second!"ruby cheered as soon some voices close by spoke up

"With us around that won't be a problem"a male voice said as they turned to the source of two people

The first belong to a man who was tall and had a broad build with a pale skin complexion. As he wore a purple jacket with silver button over a black shirt, and light gray pants. His hair was long wavy brown with yellow eyes

His weapon was a large spiked club.

While the second was a tall muscular man with a goatee beard. His hair was brown tied into a bun with small gringe hanging over his right eye. As he wore a bright shirt with blue and yellow as it was sleelvess unbutton tailcoat over it. He wore black fingelress glvoes with leather padding and gray pants.

"Who are you two?"perun asked annoyed as someone familiar was walking over these

"These two are also our fine train own huntsman, dee and dudley"merrick smo said walking over whichs surprised some

"Hey your that smo guy that knows dravan"lazuli pointed out as he laughed with lazu crowrly by his side waving to them

"Oh its you guys and uh…their are alot more of you than last time"lazu replied. Though the two huntsman known as dee and dudley both looked at zane who wasn't in cuffs right now as dee stepped forward

"Hey why isn't that thing in cuffs? Because if you try to kill anyone here you dam abomination…we'll cave your skull in"he threatened as they already hated them already

Dudley scoffed gesturing to his rifle"yeah because we should just kill you right now. Its a good tip if you all wanna stay safe away from this freak"he said with a smirk as his teeth had a glean

But ruby, weiss, yang, nora, eria and emerald gave unazmued looks. While rogue was reaching for brimstone as mercury pushed her hand down slowly. As nadia hocked back spitting in a trash can

"You want a tip?"nadia asked

"Huh?"both said as soon summer rose stepped forward which caught the two offgaurd along with merrcik

"S-s-s-summer rose?!"dee shouted

"Oh so you know of me? Heres a tip i'm sure the savage huntress here was going to tell you. Mind your business. Besides not all of them are bad"summer said as soon enough merick stared the two down

"You two go check on the back carriage. Now"he ordered as the two rushed off to do that as the man laughed for a moment

"Holy crap…your…your actually alive. Hot dam…i haven't seen you in so long. We gotta catch up"merrick replied

"Can we get on board because we got places to be. Atlas miltary will be joining you we can keep an eye on these two. "Harper demanded as they nodded getting on board but zane was hesitant to board because of his one fear

"I'm not going in the coffin with wheels"he firmly stated. Eria groaned before staring at velvet who sighed pulling him on board as dawn followed her master

"It'll be fine. Seriously just pet dawn or play your guitar along the way"velvet said as he gulped. As they were heading toward argus to finally get to atlas to return the maidens to her kingdom. Though what they didn't expect were two indivuasl sneaking onto the back of the cars.
