Standing at the main doors, I stared at them. I didn't know if I was welcomed here or not. I was once Blakes foe, and before that apparent friend? The broken moon shined over the doors as I stood there. Sun had climbed the tree for some reason, leaving me here by myself. Suddenly the door opened and Kali stepped outside.

"You know, you can always come in and say hi." She said with a smile as she gestured for me to come in.

"I don't think I have the right too." I said as I crossed my arms and looked away from her.

"Because of what Blake said, about you being a clone? Or that you two were on opposite sides?" She asked, her smile still on her face. "That you was not in the best state of things, being mind controlled and all." She said, with me looking back at her.

"I don't disagree with you on that." I said as I looked back at the moon.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me inside, with me following her as I didn't want to reject the kindness that this family has shown me. "Here." She said as she picked up a cloak and placed it around my shoulders, even tying it. "Ghira used to wear this when he travled, said it kept him warm. He no longer needs it." She said, with me looking at the fur that laced the inside of it.

"Why are you giving me this?" I asked as she pulled it closed. "I don't deserve this." I said, with her placing her hands on my face.

"You never know what you do or don't deserve, but I know the boy we brought into this home does. We showed him kindness, and in turn he has shown not only this family but the village more than he was given." She said as she let go and smiled up at me. Kali gave me a hug before she walked away, leaving me there to ponder her words for a few moments.

Following her, we made our way to Ghira's office, with us seeing Blake jump into the trees. "Hey wait!" Sun called out, with us walking up tk him.

"What's happened?" Kali questioned, with us walking up to him.

"The White Fang is evil, I totally called it, and I'm bringing your daughter back!" Sun yelled as he leaps down off the second story deck. Kali's mouth drops open for a moment before she brings up her hand, worried. She looks at me, where I let out a sigh and jump after them. Something told me that they would cause more trouble than was needed.

Later

Blake Belladonna and the masked White Fang member leap from tree to tree, Blake in pursuit of the other Faunus. They both pause for a moment, gripping different trees. A noise above the spy makes her gasp and Sun Wukong appears, dropping down.

"Gotcha!" Sun yelled as he reached out to grab her. She leaps on, out of his path. Blake pursues while Sun lands on a branch. Landing on the same branch as Sun, I jumped after Blake. "Hey, wait up!" He called out as he jumped after us.

"Don't let her out of your sight!" Blake ordered us as she looked back, seemingly suprised as I was here as well.

The spy emerges from the trees and onto a roof. She continued to run across the buildings, Blake right behind her, and me now catching up to her. Sliding under some arching pipes, she finally turns and stops. Using her weapon in whip form, she slices the pipe, releasing steam to block our line if sight on her. It didn't work; Blake moved right under the pipes through the steam and I used the force to direct the steam upwards instead of in my path.

"Why are you watching me?" Blake questioned, with us now having her surrounded as Sun landed on the roof behind her.

"Give it up! I'm not above hitting a girl, you—"

He got cut off when the spy's whip came at him in an attack, which he falls back to avoid. Blake takes advantage of the distraction to kick the Scroll out of the spy's hand. The girl was surprised, avoids Blake's next attack, responding with a kick of her own and attempts to retrieve the Scroll. I used the force to pull it towards me while Sun tackles her.

"Get off!" The spy yelled, where she then headbutts Sun, cracking off the part of the mask covering her left eye. Catching the scroll, I held my other hand out and stopped her from jumping at me, with her floating in the air. With a flick of my wirst, the mask flew towards me, now resting in my hand.

"Ilia?" Blake said as if she knew who this person was, with me releasing her as it was possible that this wasnt an enemy.

"Wait, you know her?! But she doesn't even look like a f—aagh!"

He gets cut off when the color-changing Ilia strikes an electric hit near his shoulder with her weapon. Sun cried out in pain as he fell backwards.

"Sun!" Blake called out in shock at what just happened.

"Give it to me!" Ilia ordered as she placed her weapon at my throat, having made her way over towards me during the chaos of what just happened. I activated my saber, cutting her weapon in two, shocking her as she jumped back in fear of being cut down.

"No." I said as I turned towards her, holding the weapon in a reverse grip.

"You shouldn't have come back." Ilia said as she looked at Blake, where she pulled out a pellet and threw it down, creating a smoke screen, which allows her to escape.

Seeing as she was no longer a threat, I put my saber away and rushed over to Sun. "Sun! Sun!" Blake called out, with me moving her away from him. Sun was lying on his back, bleeding from the wound Ilia caused. Closing my eyes, I covered the wound with my hands. Channeling the Force, I could feel the wound closing, mending itself. At the same time, I could feel a sharp pain in my own shoulder, draining some of my own vitality.

Looking at Blake, I could see the worry in her eyes. 'She is already worried about Sun, she doesn't need to worry about someone else.' I thought as I could see the fear growing in her eyes. Looking back at Sun, I lifted my hands and fell backwards, with Sun's eyes blinking as he regained consciousness.

"How did you... You healed him!?" Blake said in shock as Sun passed out as he was still out of it. Standing up, I went to move away from her, but fell back down, laying on the roof. "Dakota!?" She yelled as she ran over to me. I fought to stay awake, using that ability took a lot out of me. It was a first for me, and it would most definitely be the last time I used it.

Closing my eyes, I couldn't help but think to myself. Blake looked beautiful with the Moon behind her... if only she was smiling, it would of been a lot better.

Later

Opening my eyes slowly, I could hear the birds tweet in the trees. Looking around, I saw fhat I was jn Ghira's study. I had been placed on the couch, my head head propped on the arm and my hands folded over my abdomen. I no longer had my shirt or cloak on, but I was wrapped in bandages that were already blood soaked. I rose up, groaning as I held my shoulder.

Looking to the side, I saw that Blake was sitting on a chair across from the couch, her body facing me. Her head is bowed and her hands are folded in her lap. "This... is why, Dakota... This is why I left them all behind." She said, with me thinking about who she was talking about, and I could only think of her team.

"What are you talking about?" I questioned as I didnt fully understand.

Blake got up and walked over to the couch as I looked up at her. "I am done seeing my friends hurt because of me." She said, with me raising an eyebrow at her.

"Blake-"

"Shut up!" She yelled, with me closing my mouth. "Do you think I like being alone? Every day... every day I think about them! Ruby, Weiss, Yang... even the old you! They were my friends! I loved them like I never thought I could love anybody, especially you! And I hope they hate me for leaving." She said, her voice brought down to a whisper.

Standing up, she took a step back. "So what if they do?" I said, seeing the shock in her eyes. "Right now, they are probably fighting their own battles." I said as I placed a hand on her shoulder, mostly to keep myself up. "Ruby must be fighting for her team, Weiss would be fighting for her freedom to fight as a huntress, and Yang... she must be fighting herself after killing me, after her defeat." I said as I used my bad arm to point at her heart. "You are fighting your past, your weakness. If you can't conquer it, then you don't deserve to be apart of them, to be with them." I said as I made her look me in the eye as she turned her head to the side. "Besides, I'm just now finishing my fight with myself. I know who I am now, and the extent of what I am able to do. I'm not invincible, I still have a weakness. My old self, never saw it and was defeated, and killed because of it." I said as I let her go.

"You saw Ilia last night and she's not even the worst!" Blake said as she went to sit back down, with me doing the same. "No. No more. They're better off without me. I made my choices and I'll deal with the consequences because they belong to me."

"You think you're being selfless, but you're not." Sun said as he walked into the room. "Yeah, that chameleon friend of yours got me pretty good. But I'd do it all again if it meant protecting you." He said, with me shaking my head at him.

"I wont be using that ability again, it felt like my life force was depleting. Who knows, next time I use it, I could die." I said, with the room feeling grim once I said that.

"Exactly... what did you do?" Blake asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

"I... don't exactly know." I said as I leaned back. "Like I said before... I hear voices and... they guide me, teach me how to do these... things." I said as I held my hand in front in front of me, lifting the couch up. "It started with this, then over time I found that I could do other things as well." I said as I set the couch down. "For what I did to Sun... I channeled the force into him, mending his wound with the very essence of my life force. Its not healing per say, but transferring one's wound to another, like myself." I said as I placed a hand on my shoulder. "If I had to guess... I could inflict the wound onto someone else if I channeled the force into them, but reversed?" I said, shaking my head.

"Wow, sounds terrifying, and extremely useful." Sun said as he sat on the open window and crossed his legs. "Like, imagine you got stabbed in the chest, like where your heart was. You could drain someone of their life force and just heal from it." He said, with Blake looking at me.

"I forbid you from ever using that ability again! You could of died! I don't want to lose you again... the first time was hard enough." Blake said, with me nodding as I could understand that. Blake turned away, looking down.

"You can make your own choices, sure. But you don't get to play sacrificial god. When your friends fight for you, it's because we want to." Sun said as he looked at me, then at Blake. "So, stop pushing us out! It hurts more than anything the bad guys could ever do to us." He said, talking about Blake fighting her past, running from it.

Sun looked at the floor and Blake, who had turned to face him, turns away again. "Trust in him." I said as I reached out and placed a hand on her knee. "Trust in us." I said as I squeezed it, with her looking at me.

"If it makes you feel any better, the next time I go up against Lizard Girl, it won't be for you - it'll be to get even." Sun said with a large smile, with me looking at him. He attempted to point to his would be wound, but stopped and looked at me as I had the wound.

"My heros." Blake said with a smile, before laughing a tiny bit.

The door behind Blake, the same one that Sun came through, crashed open. This time it is Kali, embarrassing herself through eavesdropping too closely. Behind her, Ghira looks down at his wife on the ground with his hand on his hip.

Kali pops upward again. "Oh! Oh dear, would you look at that, he's awake! Thank goodness!" Kali said as she smiled at me, with Ghira covering his face.

"Kali, please." Ghira said, embarrassed at his wife's actions, before he glaired at me as mybhand was still on Blakes knee. I pulled it back and placed it on my lap.

"Mom!" Blake yelled as she stood up, not happy with her mother interupting the moment we were having.

"Hey, Mrs. B!" Sun called out with a wave.

"What are you doing?!" Blake questioned as she walked up to her mother.

"Well, sweetheart, your father needed to speak with the three of you." Kali said, with me raising an eyebrow at him.

He walked over to the coffee table, where he sets a scroll down. It shows a master folder labeled W. F. with six subfolders inside. The subfolders are labeled: Assignment, E.L., P.R., E.W., S. F., Untitled. "I'm afraid you were right to be suspicious." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at this.

"What do you mean?" Blake asked, not liking what she was seeing.

"Adam Taurus is planning to overthrow the leader of the White Fang, and stage a full-scale attack on Haven Academy. It would be the Fall of Beacon all over again." Ghira informed, with me standing up, with sun walking over to me.

"Not if we destroy the White Fang once and for all." Sun said, with me elbowing him.

"No." Insaid, with everyone looking at me. You're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back to its former glory." I said as I looked at each of them. "Its time for the True White Fang to return."
