Foreseeing the Danger of the Fang
Sun is seen looking out the window of the apartment where he is staying with Chun-Li until his team arrives from Mistral and the exchange students' dorm, his bag full of his personally belongings are sat on the bed of the guest room as he threw it when he enter the room. The blonde monkey boy is looking at some of the buildings of the city wondering what it's like exploring around it up close though there is another thing on his mind than wanting to go out for sightseeing.
"Enjoying the view?" Chun-Li asked after knocking on the door.
"Yeah, the place is a little more city-like than I imagined." Sun responded.
"This place sure has its own charm, it's where I met and became friends with some of the Huntsmen and Huntresses who used to be students at Beacon." Chun-Li mentioned.
"Does that include meeting some bad guys too?" Sun asked.
"Whether you're a Hunter or a police officer, you're bond to face criminals sooner or later." Chun-Li answered.
"My mom said that you graduated from Beacon and became a policewoman after that, why have two careers?" Sun asked curious.
"Well, missions for Hunters aren't always open and it can take a while for a new mission to come, I still wanted to help people even when it's not fighting Grimm because I know there are also people who are worse than Grimm." Chun-Li explained with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"When people are consumed to the darkness, they would think it's the only way of life and become dangerous to not only to everyone around them, but also to themselves." Chun-Li added.
"Even when there is someone you once knew as a friend." Sun said feeling sad he is thinking about Adam right now.
"Yep, but if that person has the right people around them then I believe they can always see the light." Chun-Li smiled as she places a hand on his shoulder.
This brought a smile back on Sun's face as he believes that he could help Adam, to save the bull-Faunus boy from the darkness no matter how deep and dark it is as Sun will always hold out his hand to Adam until he accepts it or he'll grab it himself and pull him out of the darkness, but deep down that's going to be more difficult than he thinks.
"So, we're you also thinking about one of those girls?" Chun-Li asked with a teasing smirk on her face.
"Well, that girl Blake mostly… I think she's a cat-Faunus." Sun answered.
"I notice that two, with the bow twitching a bit, I'm guessing she has been through some humans hating Faunus and with the White Fangs' activities are only making things worse for the Faunus. I can see why she would hide herself as a Faunus." Chun-Li pointed out.
"I hope her team can comfort her." Sun said.
"That is IF she told anyone about her being a Faunus." Chun-Li said before hearing her scroll ringing and took it out.
"Chun-Li speaking." Chun-Li answered the call.
"Yes, I can come over." Chun-Li nodded. Sounds like her job is calling her over for something important.
"Alright, I'll be right there." Chun-Li said before hanging up.
"I thought you were finish for today." Sun said.
"A police work is never done, that goes for Hunters too. I'm probably going to home late, so you can help yourself with some leftovers in the fridge." Chun-Li mentioned as she walks to the door opening.
"Oh, and one more thing." Chun-Li turned herself around a little to Sun. "Please stay out of trouble or start one? I don't want to get an earful from your mom." She asked with a smile.
"Have a little more faith in me, it's me we're talking about or are you gonna arrest me for that?" Sun joked, making her laugh a little.
"Just make sure you don't burn the place down like that library." Chun-Li said before leaving.
"Oh, come on, I was 10!" Sun stated.
Sun let out a soft sigh as he is going to enjoy his time with his aunty Chun-li even though they're not related by blood they still consider each other family with her and his mom having history together. Now, his thoughts are back to Blake and the White Fang getting a gut feeling that they are connected somehow, making him think that she may have known Adam too even though it could be for a short time or so.
But then his questioning thoughts were interrupted when he saw a girl hanging upside-down the moment from outside, he turned around to look out the window which spook him as he nearly trips backward but kept himself up with his tail.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that." The girl apologized.
"Sheesh, what kind of girl would sneak up from a window like that?" Sun asked.
"I didn't mean to, I have a very good reason to come here, Sun Wukong." The girl said his name which shock him.
"How do you know my name?" Sun asked as he opens the window to let her come inside.
"That's because we used to play "Sand Kingdom" back at Vaco and I always played as the princess while you played the knight." The girl revealed as Sun's eyes widen upon realization.
"Menat!" Sun gasped.
Menat is a slim woman with dark skin and green eyes. She has short dark purple hair styled into a bob with blunt bangs covering her entire forehead. She wears soft purple lipstick and eye shadow. Her outfits are in Egyptian motif; she wears a dark purple short sleeved leotard with gold and neon blue accents and a purple sash in both of her shoulders. Her waist resembles a side belt, a blue and gold necklace and a gold tiara on her head. On her feet are a pair of thigh high stockings, with the heels and toes cut out. She also holds a shiny, transparent crystal ball in her hands. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"Hell Sun, it's been a while." Menat smiled at her childhood friend then suddenly being hugged by the happy Sun.
"Oh man, it's really great to see you again, Menat!" Sun jumped in joy with Menat in his arms for a few more seconds until he stops and let go.
"Wait, what are you even doing here?" Sun confused, recalled that Menat should be back a Vacuo in Shade Academy.
"Well, two days ago, my crystal showed me a future where you would leave earlier to Vale and I was to meet you here, so I talked to my team about it and got on the flight to Vale." Menat explained.
"Damn, your fortune-telling skills keep on impressing me." Sun commented.
"Yes, I checked with me master as she said I'm proving, but there's another reason why I'm here." Menat said serious.
"You mean there's more?" Sun asked, Menat nodded in response.
"My crystal ball didn't just predict us being in Vale together, but it also showed another girl with yellow eyes and a black bow with us as we will face danger with this symbol in two days." Menat showed her crystal ball showing Blake and a red vicious cat face with three claw marks behind it.
"The White Fang?" Sun shocked.
"It would seem so, but I can also sense something else though I can't seem to see it further than this." Menat mentioned, looking at her crystal closely.
"I knew Blake is a Faunus, but I wasn't really sure if she's connected to the White Fang or not." Sun said.
"Then you better go ask her yourself because it would seem she's having trouble with her team right now." Menat mentioned as she can also see Blake arguing with her team and it looks like it's getting worse.
"I was about to head over to Beacon anyway, want to go out for a late-night walk?" Sun asked Menat as he holds out his hand.
"If I knew you were gonna ask me out on a date, I would've dressed up better." Menat teased.
"Trust me, you look better just the way you are as always." Sun chuckled, Menat blushes from the comment and took Sun's hand.
(Beacon Academy, Courtyard)
Blake is seen running away after having a big fight with Weiss about the Faunus's wanting to be treated equally and the White Fang causing violence to make the humans respect them in fear, and in the moment revealed that she's not only a Faunus but was also involved with the White Fang though knowing Weiss, she thinks it's best to stay away from her team for a while.
She stands in front of the special statue of the Hunter school, feeling sad about herself she removes the bow revealing her cat ears as she wipes a tear from her eye.
"I knew you look better without the bow." Sun complimented, surprising Blake as she turns around to see him and a girl she didn't know standing on a light pole.
"Wh-What are you doing here?" Blake asked.
"Well, I thought I come for a visit to see how you were doing and it doesn't look good from where I'm standing." Sun said before he and Menat jump off the light pole back down to the ground.
Blake didn't say anything after that as she looks down at the ground.
"We're also here because we are fated to meet each other and must be ready for danger we'll be facing in two days." Menat explained.
"What do you mean?" Blake confused.
"I know it sounds crazy, but Menat here is a great Fortune-teller and most of her predictions come true." Sun said.
"I'm still in training." Menat blushed.
"Anyway, if you need a place to stay then you can hang with me until you're ready to talk about yourself." Sun offered.
Blake wasn't sure if this was a good idea, but she knew if she goes back now there's no doubt Weiss would try to get her arrested for being involved with the White Fang which is mostly true. Her only option is to hide away with a boy she just met earlier, at least for a couple of days until she can sort things out with herself.
"Alright, let's go." Blake accepted.
"Cool, and I hope you like leftovers because that's tonight dinner." Sun alerted the cat girl.
"Does that include fish?" Blake asked with a little hungry look in her eyes.
"I think Chun-Li has sushi, you want to join us, Menat?" Sun asked.
"Gladly, because I didn't book a hotel to stay at." Menat confessed.
"I'm sure Chun-Li doesn't mind two extra guests." Sun assured as he and the girls start walking to the last bullhead that's going for the city.
(Meanwhile, Police Station)
"And you're sure about this?" Chun-Li asked an inspector, looking at the video screen of the crime scene of a computer.
"Yes, I looked closer at the scene and found three claw marks on the power box, but it doesn't appear to be any Faunus, more like a blade from a gauntlet and one of the men also found this impale to the backdoor security camera." The inspector showed her a rose inside a plastic bag.
"Hmm, a rose and claw marks from a gauntlet… I think I know one person who uses those things together." Chun-Li figured out who robbed that store as types on the computer to show a man wearing a white mask that covers his whole face.
"Him? But most of the other robbed place were done by the White Fangs, why would be he be interested in stealing Dusts?" The inspector asked.
"I'm not sure, but something tells me that whatever he's doing can't be good." Chun-Li pointed out.
"And if he's here then that means Shadaloo won't be far behind." The inspector stated.
"Yeah…" Chun-Li glared as her hand balls into a fist, feeling the anger building up when the inspector said the word Shadaloo.
(Chun-Li's apartment)
"I'm going to bed, goodnight." Blake said before getting herself comfortable on the queen's bed and going to sleep.
"I hope she isn't too dump out about it; I certainly would like to get to know her more." Sun said.
"Just give her some time, I'm sure she'll open up to us soon." Menat said with confident.
"Did you predict that with your crystal ball?" Sun asked.
"Maybe." Menat said playfully as she went into the bathroom to get herself ready for bed.
"Well, I hope she doesn't become all quiet for two days." Sun said as he lay on his sleeping bag that he decided to sleep on while letting the girls take the bed.
(Two Days Later)
"Seriously, you literally haven't spoke a single word in two days, I was worried you became mute." Sun exclaimed as he, the girls, and Chun-Li are sitting together at a café on the second-floor balcony.
"Easy Sun, from what you told me, she's been through a lot. And I'm still mad that you let two people in without my permission." Chun-Li pointed at him.
"Hey, I couldn't just leave my friends out on their own without a roof over their heads." Sun defended himself.
"Is he always like this?" Blake asked.
"Sun has always had a big heart caring for others to help them in any way he can, but sometimes he can be too trusting." Menat explained.
"Anyway, as you all may have guessed I was once a member of the White Fang." Blake began explaining herself.
"I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it..."
(Flashback)
The scene shifts to a simple silhouetted flashback of fallen weapons plunged into the ground - swords, guns, any number of combinations.
"Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus." Blake said.
"I heard about that, all the White Fang did was protest in rallies and boycotts, they were slowly winning some of the humans' trust, but I take it that wasn't enough for some Faunus." Chun-Li said.
The scene changes to a large crowd of Faunus holding signs that says, "Freedom and Equal to the Faunus!" and "We are not monsters!" and so on, then shows a child version of Blake who is also part of the protesting.
"Yes, then five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking." Blake said.
Next shows the Faunus replacing their picket signs with weapons like axes, swords, and spears. Throwing flaming bottles through windows, and some Faunus stealing cargo from a train cart.
"Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear."
The last imagine show three Faunus men standing together with glaring looks and evil smiles.
(Flashback End)
"So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." Blake finished her story as she looks up at her bow being moved by her cat ears.
"And you believe your friends would hate you because of your past." Chun-Li guessed.
"One of them, Weiss and she had a very bad experience with the White Fang growing." Blake said.
"Hmm, Menat, when did you say this danger with the White Fang will happen today?" Chun-Li asked.
"I'm entirely sure, the background appears to be dark though I see a building, my guess is that this will happen tonight." Menat said before drinking her tea.
"What do you have in mind?" Sun asked.
"Well, lately the White Fang have been stealing a large amount Dusts and if my hunch is right then I think I know where they're gonna strike next." Chun-Li crossed her arms.
"Are you gonna involve the police?" Blake asked.
"Not right away, I'll inform that I'll be going on a stakeout at the dock." Chun-Li answered.
"The dock?" Sun wondered why she's going to the dock.
"Because it just so happens that tonight at the dock, there's going to be a huge load Dusts shipping from Atlas by the Schnee company." Chun-Li informed.
"I just hope it's wrong, the White Fang never needed that much Dusts before." Blake said.
"We'll have to wait and see." Chun-Li said.
Deep down in Blake's mind is telling that the White Fang is involve with the Dust stealing, but she didn't want to believe it until she sees this with her own eyes tonight, at least she won't be alone on this.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
We're about to head out to the Black and White episode where Blake on her new friends are going out for a stakeout at the dock to ready for a White Fang robbery, and they're going to be in for a big surprise when they see someone else with them, especially for Chun-Li and Blake. And hope you like how Menat made her appearance to Sun at the apartment like how she was hanging upside-down in her arcade story mode from the game, I think, and seem to have a thing for Sun too.
