A/N: Before anyone panics! I'm still alive.

Advent wrote this interlude for me to post, I'm not in a good way at the moment.

That's write, he wrote this entire interlude chapter; without him, there wouldn't have been an update at all today.

This chapter, like the last Five, is written differently from my usual format, and I apologize for any confusion. Hope you enjoy it.

As for me, something is wrong with me. I don't feel like myself. Not sure if its my depression or what, but I feel...off. My mood is high, then low, then high again. Its affecting...well, everything, to say nothing of my energy levels. Sometimes its an effort to just get out of bed, get dressed, and drag my self to work. I can feel it eating away at me, sapping my motivation bit by bit. Thanks to Slifer and Advent, I'm fighting on, but its still strange.

Trying my best to endure, here, but if this doesn't stop soon, I may need to get myself seen by a professional, if only to figure out what's going on.

Once again, a heartfelt thanks to everyone out there for their heartfelt support in these trying times. As ever, we own no references, themes or memes and certainly no quotes. They're tributes made for the sake of entertainment, nothing more. So here we go. The fate of this story depends on you, the reader. Your feedback determines the fate of this tale, and many others. In other words...its up to YOU, the reader. Do let me know~!

This here is the Interlude of Qrow and most of Team STRQ.

Ergo, what happened while Naruto was fighting.

...and its bloody insane.

"Madness is merry and catching.

Take care not to sneeze.

Achoo!"

What Went Down at Beacon (Interlude)

Summer raised a brow and motioned towards her brother in law.

"Okaaaay, w-what happened to Qrow?" she questioned as she looked at the visibly shaken drunk.

Tai tried not to laugh, he honestly and truly did, "He-snnrk-he a-hehe-he had Grimm incident." he managed to get out through bated chuckles.

Qrow scowled at him, "Shut it Tai, I was violated... so violated." he stated with a distant gaze on his face.

"Alright, you gotta break it down for me, what the heck happened, we were only gone for two weeks, how could you have been violated? You never left except to report to Ozpin about the Preliminary admissions for the tournament in Vytal." Summer told him as she looked between the two men. "So how...?"

Tai snickered, "Snnrk! W-Well, it went that way, but-but...then it turned into us having to rush Qrow to the hospital when a Grimm crawled its way up his butt somehow." he laughed out.

Summer sighed as she pinched her nose, "I know I'm going to regret asking this, but what!?" she cried out.

"Yea, he had a bug up his butt." her husband told her, making no effort to conceal his laughter.

She turned to Qrow, "How the hell did that happen?"

Qrow turned away with red cheeks, "I don't wanna talk about it." his mind flashing to what had happened at the hospital.


~xxXXxx~Two weeks ago~xxXXxx~


"AHHH~! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS THAT ARE HOLY GET THIS GODS DAMNED THING OUTTA ME!" Qrow cried out as the gurney he was on was pushed into the operating room.

Following the gurney was Glynda Goodwitch, who had accompanied them to make sure Qrow would make it out safely.

"It's gonna be ok Qrow." Taiyang said as they wheeled in the gurney, "Cut him open, let's get this thing out." he said to a doctor.

"Cut me open!?" Qrow cried out, "There goes your Christmas gift, Tai!" he growled out as they tried to hold him down.

"Hold still, it's moving down the leg." a doctor stated.

"Ah-ha~" Qrow shivered as the little thing moved.

"What are you gonna do?" Glynda asked as she approached the head of the bed.

"We might have to amputate." the doctor told her.

"Bone saw." the nurse said handing over the saw seemingly out of nowhere-WHERE THE HELL DID THAT THING COME FROM?!

"Whoa, Doc! Don't take the leg!" he shot up as he looked to his brother in law, "Tai, don't let them take my leg." Qrow yelped as he grabbed onto Taiyang.

"Isn't there anything else you can do?" he asked him causing the man to turn towards him, "He thinks he's an athletic alcoholic in his teens." Tai said halting the doctor.

"Yea~" Qrow nodded in desperation.

He'd rather remain in one piece.

"Doctor, look!" the nurse stated as she pointed to his leg.

"Whoa-ho-ho~" Qrow shivered as he felt it crawl through him.

"Ooh, it's headed for his testicles." the doctor grimaced.

Qrow's eyes opened wide.

Oh hell naw...

If there was one thing he didn't want, it was that. And if he had to live life as a crip, he'd lose the leg!

"...Take it! Take it! Take the leg!" he ordered the doctor.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Glynda called out, watching as the little Grimm moved another direction.

"No, no nononono!" Qrow panicked.

Glynda looked to the medic, "Now it's going the other way."

"Hah!" Qrow looked between Glynda and the doctor.

The doctor held out his hand, "Give me some forceps. I might be able to catch it in his colon." and took the offered weapon of choice.

"Huh..." Qrow felt his heart drop... why was he filled with dread?

"How're you going in?" Tai asked him.

"Rectally." the doctor said.

Qrow gasped in utter terror, "No~!" he cried out in a squeak of horror, his head shaking madly back in forth in plea for them not to do it.

"I'll get the lubricant." Glynda said turning to grab the bottle.

"There's no time for lubricant." the doctor told her.

Qrow felt his eyes nearly pop out his skull,"THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR LUBRICANT!"he called out in panic.

"Flip him!" the doctor ordered as the four of them grabbed Qrow, "Go." he announced and they all flipped him to his belly.

"Okay, here we go." the nurse said pulling his underwear down to his ankles.

DON'T TRY TO SOUND HAPPY YA BITCH!

"Ooh-hoo-hoo!" he felt his underwear get dragged down and then completely off of his legs.

"Try to relax." Tai told him.

What the-

"Everything's gonna be okay." Glynda said.

The hell it was!

Qrow looked between Glynda and Tai, "I'll shove this gurney up your ass! See if you relax, Tai." he stated in panic.

"Cheek spreader." a nurse said as Qrow felt his eyes widen...

Oh no...

Oh no, why did this have to happen to him?

"All right. I'm going in." the Doctor said as he brandished the forceps.

"N-no-" Qrow whimpered before his eyes crossed and his mouth opened in a silent scream as the doctor shoved his weapon up his... er-hem.

OH DEAR FUCKING OUM THE PAIN~!

"Don't clench!" Tai told him.

"You're so brave." Glynda praised him.

"A little more." the doctor grunted as he pushed the forceps into his ass.

"No... more!" Qrow pleaded him to stop.

"A little deeper." the doctor said.

"No... deeper!" Qrow was begging him to stop.

"Squeeze my hand. Squeeze it!" Tai told him.

"Almost there." the doctor stated.

"Open up. Open up!" Tai told him.

"Breathe. Breathe." Glynda told him.

"I'm breathing!" Qrow growled as he leveled a glare at her.

"Almost there." the doctor pushed them deeper.

"You're there! ARG~!UGH-" he grunted as the doctor pulled both Grimm and forceps out his ass.

"It's over, it's over." Tai stated as he turned around.

"The Grimm... it died?" the doctor said as he watched the Grimm shrivel up and then vanished.

Qrow pushed himself up where he then turned around and glared at the doctor, "Don't you ever do that again!" he shouted at the man, and then suddenly lunged at him where he began to try and strangle the man for violating him.

"Hey!Hey!Hey!" Tai cried out as he pried the man off the doctor, "Easy man." he said as Qrow fell back to his stomach, "You should have seen the size of that thing you had inside you, it was like this!" he says as he measures with his hands to show the size, "You took it like a man."

"You did great, can I get you anything?" she asked him.

"Yea, ice cream." he told her, "I'd like an ice cream."

"Yea, what flavor?" she asked him.

Qrow sniffled, "Doesn't matter," he motioned to his rear end, "It's for my ass." he whimpered in pain.


(.0.0.0.)


Summer was on the floor rolling in laughter, tears rolling own her cheeks, "I CAN'T BELIVE IT, YOU HAD THAT HAPPEN?!" she howled in sheer audacity.

"It's not funny Summer!" Qrow cried out.

"You don't know how funny it is!" Summer cackled as she clutched her sides.

"I hate you... all my hate, you have it..." Qrow sulked as Taiyang joined her in laughter.
