It been a few weeks since the incident with Indigo and the shooting. Luckily and from what Indi said he has gotten better and was in tip-top shape. Winter left only a few days later, leaving Weiss in a short period of thinking.

That is what I think she was doing but I didn’t really know since Indigo had me going through some hardcore training after being away for a few weeks vacation from school. Until I was finished everyday I went to bed so sore that my legs felt like pudding.

I groaned as I made my way to Indigos classroom. Most classes were put on hold during the tournament so students and teachers could watch, giving Indigo loads of time to drill me into the ground with his training. I sighed as I got to the door and opened it to let myself in.

“I’m here to turn my limbs into gel and stuff.” I said out pound before I looked around. I saw both Indigo and Yang there as Yang looked visibly upset. They looked up at me as I tried to read the mood, which wasn’t good. “Uh, what’s going on?”

“Bullshit, that’s what’s going on.” Indigo said, clearly angered at something. I blinked a few times as I looked at the two of them.

“Umm, clarification please?” I said. Yang turned away, not wanting to say anything. Indigo took a deep breath, calming himself a bit as he did before saying.

“It’s best if you just see for yourself.” He said, placing his scroll on his desk. He waved for me to come over. I walked over and looked at his scroll. It was playing the match that Yang was in. The person who she was fighting recognised as the man when I first came to Vale. The match went on as normal and Yang won… and then she shot the guys leg.

“Uhhh, that’s a little… excessive.” I said as I push the scroll away just as Yang hit the desk.

“That’s not what happen! He was coming at me with a kick and I defended myself!” Yang yelled as her eyes went red. She took some angry breaths before calming down. “They say it’s battle stress hallucinations but…”

“Yang that’s enough.” Indigo said, stopping Yang from finishing her sentence. Yang looked down at her desk with sad look. Indigo sighed before sitting down on his chair. “Whatever you saw didn’t happen.” He said

I frowned at him as I looked down at the scroll. “Doesn’t his footsteps sound a little...heavy?” this caused Yang to look up at me.

“What do you mean heavy?” Yang asked me. I rubbed the back of my head at this.

“Well, before I got dragged to Beacon I ran into this guy and his friend. As they walked away I noticed his steps sounded heavier than normal. It could mean he either has heavy boots or prosthetic legs or feet.” I explained. Indigo hummed, looking at the replaying video.

“The bastard has prosthetic legs, armored ones at that.” Indigo said with a deep frown.

“Wait… you mean he faked it?” Yang asked as she looked at the scroll.

“I think this raises more questions, like why did he fake it and didn’t anyone know he has prosthetic legs?” I asked Indigo while he unhooked his flask from his belt.

“Something’s not right.” He muttered, taking a swig of his drink. He narrowed his eyes at his scroll before pausing it. “Hmm.” He hummed, zooming into the video to the crowd and enhancing the video quality. Zooming into the stands again, the blurred figure of Emerald Sustrai became visible. Enhancing the video one last time, it allowed us to see her concentrating. “I might need to have a chat with Miss Sustrai later.” Indigo said.

“Unless you can stop a ship from flying away you can’t. They sent that team away due to this ‘injury’.” Yang informed him. I tuned the two of them out as I looked at the scroll a little longer.

“Why did they do this? It doesn’t make sense.” I said to myself. I looked back up to Indigo. “And doesn’t Beacon have a record of every student in the tournament? Shouldn’t the staff know about the prosthetics and whatever Emerald can do?”

“Their Bio is fake, we’ve recently been hacked and from that incident, I noted a few new entries for the tournament.” He answered, standing up from his seat. “I was busy looking at the other entries when it happened.”

I frowned at this as I looked at the still image of Emerald. “I think this group is going to pull something big. Really big.” Indigo nodded in agreement before looking at Yang and saying.

“You can leave now, Yang. Detention is over.” He said to her. She didn’t say anything as she got up and walked out of the room. I looked over at Indigo as we were alone.

“So… now what?” I asked. Indigo looked back down at his scroll before letting out a sigh.

“I don’t know but for now I have to make sure no one gives Yang a hard time.” He said, grabbing his scroll and putting it away in his pocket. I gave him a somber nod at his reply.

“Right… I guess I should go then.” I said. He didn’t say anything as I made my way to the door. I stopped at the door and looked back at him. “If you need anything, give me a call.” This earned me a chuckle from Indigo as I opened the door before walking out.

I flipped a page of my book as I laid in bed with Sylph curled up next to me. At times I reached down and scratched behind her ears, earning a small happy purr from her. I continued reading the Crimson Huntress and got more interested in the character and story. The Huntress Sara was strong, funny, and at times a little bit of a smartass. I couldn’t help but laugh at her and get really interested when there was a fight scene since her weapon of choice is, oddly, a pair of axes that doesn’t turn into a weapon but it’s still useful.

As I read I was pulled out of the book by some knocking. Frowning since I didn’t expect anyone to come by I put my book down and went to the door. As I opened the door I saw Ruby was there.

“Hey Ruby, what’s up?” I asked her.

“Oh nothing, say are you busy right now tonight?” she asked me. I gave her an odd look as I smiled.

“Not really, why do you have plans?” I asked.

“Oh well I do, and it’s-” With that, the rest of Team RWBY appeared right behind her with bags, games, movies, sleeping bags, and food. “Sleepover!” they all said happily, even Weiss did.

“...what.” was all I said as they all walked into my room. I looked at all of them as they started to put their stuff down. “What?!”

“What what? We’re having a sleepover.” Yang said happily somber.

“Yeah, besides we never really spent time with you so this was a good way to do that.” Weiss added as she moves her stuff around.

“It was also Ruby’s idea.” Blake added as well which made Ruby smile brightly.

“I’m not going to be able to get you all out of my place am I?” I asked them. They all answered with a big ‘Nope!’ I sighed and smiled. “Alright, I guess we’ll have a sleepover.”

Ruby cheered as the rest of them smiled. The five of us spent the next few hours playing the games they brought, one was a card game that Ruby, Yang, and Weiss somewhat got really into. At the end it left Ruby and Weiss crying dramatically.

“This game really does play with one’s emotions!” Weiss cried out, leaving me wondering what’s up with the game. At one point Yang and Blake went out to get some drinks as I called for some pizza. Sylph on the other hand laid on a pillow as she watches us and got to eat some pizza when it came.

Right now we were sitting down on the floor listing to Ruby tell a scary story. It… really wasn’t scary since she was making it funny.

“Sis give it a break. We’re laughing more being scared.” Yang pointed out. Ruby slump down a bit as she was sitting. I smiled as I tossed her a cookie.

“For the effort.” I told her. She cheered as she eats the cooking in one go. I rolled my eyes as I took a bit out of my pizza as I looked over at Yang.“So… how are you, Yang?”

“Huh? Oh uh, I’m… alright.” Yang said. I saw her glance over to Blake for a moment then back at me. “Just… I’m alright.”

My ears twitched a bit before looking away from her. Ruby looked at the two of us as Weiss took a sip of her drink.

“You know, we don’t really know you.” Weiss said to me. The rest of us looked at her.

“Weiss that’s rude to say that!” Ruby said with a frown.

“Well, it’s true. Other than what we do know, which isn’t a lot, we don’t know Viri.” she explained.

“I agree,” Blake added before looking at me. “We’re all friends but we don’t even know your past Viri.”

I raised an eyebrow and gave her a look, “Oh really, well I don’t know anything about the four of you and-”

“Step sisters with one’s mother not around and the other’s haven’t seen, rich parents and pampered lifestyle and an ex-White Fang member.” Yang said bluntly as the other three turned to her.

“Why do you have to say that so bluntly?” Blake asked with an upset look.

“And I wasn’t pampered when I was young!” Weiss retorted. “... Well, not a lot of it.”

“Sorry, didn’t mean to come off rude but it was a simple way to explain things.” Yang said with a sorry expression. I stared at the four of them for a good few minutes before sighing.

“Well… my life wasn’t really all that great when I was really young,” I started to say. “From what I can tell from some history classes I was born up in Solitas, or Atlas or whatever they call it.”

“Oh, never took you as of someone who lives up there.” Weiss said as she listened to me.

“Yeah…” I soon frowned. “I didn’t like it there, it was always cold and I lived out in the streets. And before you ask no I don’t know who my parents are and the woman that you met Weiss isn’t related to me by blood.”

The four of them didn’t say anything as I continued, “I lived in a town that wasn’t the most friendly to Faunus, even more so to Fox Faunus,” my ears twitched at the mention of Fox which made Sylph look up at me. “For the most part I spent it going from alleyway to alleyway taking what I can find and trying to pickpocket anyone that wasn’t looking. The nights were cold as I didn’t have anything to keep me warm.”

“Then… how did your foster parents find you?” Ruby asked. I paused for a moment as I tired to think of the words so I don’t tip them off that Mother and Aunty were gods.

“Well… one day as I was trying to keep warm and stay out of everyone’s sight I heard two people talking nearby. I went over and saw the two of them and the woman that would be my mother had this amazing looking knife. I knew if I took it and sold it to anyone I would get something out of it. So I tired to swipe it and well, she knew I was there and grabbed my arm.” I pulled my legs up and hugged them close to me.

“What happened next?” Ruby asked me. A small smile grew on my face.

“Well, she acted like she was someone worried about my well being so she took me to a local cafe and fed me some food. I simply enjoyed the warmth and food but was scared of going back into the cold alone again but… she offered her home to me and I took it.” I told them. “My life changed that day as she and her sister, who’s the aunt by the way, took me away from Solitas and off someplace far far away. There I lived with them and, when I got older, they taught me and trained me in fighting. I think it was my aunts idea that I know how to fight and the two of them trained me.”

“Wow, that’s amazing.” Weiss said in surprise. I made a sarcastic laugh.

“Yeah but what I didn’t know is how brutal my aunts training is…” I wince at the memory of her training camp when I was twelve. I shook my head as I continued. “And… that’s it. A bit of a story book backstory but… that’s my past.” At this point I was tackled by Ruby, who was sniffling a bit.

“That’s so sad!” she cried as she hugged me. I blinked a few times before patting the crying Ruby.

“You… never met your parents? Your real ones I mean.” Weiss asked.

“No… I don’t even know if they’re alive. I wouldn’t say I don’t want to meet them, I really do but… I don’t know where to start looking.” I told them. “But as my aunt says, ‘Sometimes fate likes to be a little funny.’”

“I… don’t get it.” Yang said. I laughed as I looked at her.

“I don’t know either.”

After the sleepover, and a few days later Team RWBY went off to go see the next fight with two of their friends. I would’ve gone with them but I got a message from Indigo to go meet up with him in the classroom. It also said that I had to come alone.

Confused by this I told them that something came up and I had to check on something.

“Okay, we’ll save you a seat if you get back!” Ruby called out. I smiled as I turned to head towards the classroom. Sylph rode on top of my head as she pawed my hair a bit as I soon got to the door and opened it. Sure enough I saw Indigo there with his scroll out and doing something on it. I also saw Oni sitting nearby watching him until he looked over at me.

“Hey, you called me?” I asked him. Looking up from his scroll, Indigo noticed me before looking back down at his scroll as he placed atop his desk. I noticed that his attire was completely different than his usual choice of clothing.

“Yeah I did. I’ve found the people that shot me, it turns out they were some White Fang grunts looking to start some trouble.” He said, opening a drawer in his desk and pulling out a small cartridge before unhooking one of his tonfas. He then changed the tonfa into its secondary form, a compact submachine gun. He removed the magazine cartridge from the gun before inserting the other cartridge. “That’s not all though, I know who they are and where they are. They’ve been hiding out in one of the old Schnee dust company warehouses on the outskirts of Vale.” He said. I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Okay… and why are you telling me this. Why not tell Professor Ozpin?” I asked Indigo. Indigo frowned as he crossed his arms.

“It’s personal.” He answered.

“It still doesn’t answer why you’re telling me.” I said as I crossed my arms. He shrugged before saying.

“I’m not going to lie, I’m slightly drunk.” He admitted before unhooking his flask and chugging down its contents. “I’m known to not think before doing under the influence of alcohol.” He added, his tone sounding more sophisticated than before. I stared at him for a long minute before I gave him a deadpan look.

“I’m going with you.” I said simply. He frowned as I continued. “You’re drunk, this is something personal to you and, you’re drunk. You need someone there you tell you to ease up.” He took a deep breath before exhaling loudly.

“Alright, fine. You can come with, just don’t tell Blake.” He said before looking at Oni. The latter looked up at his partner, ready to go along for the ride.

“My lips are sealed.” I said with a gesture of zipping my lips. Sylph sat on top of my head as she watched all this before Indigo walked over. She then buried her head in my hair to, I guess, stop smelling the alcohol. I heard some sounds coming from her as she did this.

Indigo looked down at his scroll before picking it up. He stared blankly at his screen before closing his eyes with a frown before suddenly crushing his scroll within his hand. He opened his eyes and saw the damage but said nothing before walking towards the door. I looked at him before looking at Oni.

“I have a feeling that he does that a lot.” I said to him as I headed towards him. “Hey, what was that about?” He sighed sadly before saying.

“It’s complicated.” He said, opening the door and exiting the classroom with me in tow.

“Right…” was all I said as I followed him. After having gone through multiple flights of stairs, we finally made it out of the building and into the courtyard. It was empty, me and Indigo were the only ones walking through the main gates. Just outside was a small parked Bullhead but no pilot in sight.

“Get in.” Indigo said, opening the side door before entering. As I got in, Indigo sat on the pilot’s seat before pushing a few buttons and flipping a couple of switches, causing the engines activation. The Bullhead soon started to rise as me, Oni and Sylph watched as we were lifted up to the sky. Before we knew it, we were off. I never knew Indigo could pilot a bullhead, much less in his current condition. I held on to anything as we flew in the air, I saw the stadium where the tournament is being held and I had to admit it looked cool. We soon flew away from the place and out of the city. I turned to Indigo and saw he was wearing some headphones. I looked around and saw some more and put them on and pulled the mic forward.

“How long till we get there?” I asked into the mic.

“In a minute, minute and a half at best.” He said before I felt the bullhead speed up drastically. I held on to the seat as I felt Sylph hold on to my head for dear life. The same goes for Oni as I saw his claws digging into the floor.

“Do you know how to land?” I asked worriedly as we were speeding up. Before he answered, we slowed down and I looked to see that we were near the edge of Vale, the warehouse, while obscured by tress, was just a short walk away. We then slowly and gently touched ground. A few button presses and a couple of switch flippings, the Bullhead’s engine deactivated. I let out a breath that I was holding as Indigo got out of the Bullhead. I opened the door and stepped out with Oni as I saw Indigo walk around. “That… was the most scariest thing I have ever been through.” Indigo once again took a swig from his flask. I frowned as I felt Sylph shake on top of my head. I pulled her down and frowned sadly at her. “Sorry Frosty, didn’t mean to scare you.”

She made a sound before I put her down on the ground.

“We’ve only have a short window of opportunity here.” Indigo said with a serious tone. He looked at Oni before saying. “Watch over the Bullhead while we’re gone, I’ll whistle if I need your help.” Oni nodded in acknowledgment before jumping on top of the bullhead and sitting down. I put Sylph on the floor of the Bullhead and told her to take a nap. Her acknowledgment is to curl up into a ball and put her tail over her head. I smiled and turned to Indigo.

“After you.” I said to him.

“Gladly.” He said, taking the lead and walking ahead. I followed him and stayed silent for the time walking. I looked around at the place until I saw the warehouse up ahead.

“So… you said this is personal to you but does the White Fang have something against you when they shot you or you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time?” I asked him.

“A little bit of both. The White Fang has caused me a lot of pain, might as well make them feel it.” He answered as we stopped at the sight of an armed White Fang grunt, a deer faunus male judging by the antlers. Another one was inside the guard post used, probably to monitor the cameras. With a frown, Indigo let out a grunt just before the shadows of both White Fang members rose up from the ground. The armed soldier was choked slammed onto the pavement while the guard inside was smashed into the monitors, with the deed done both shadows sunk back into their ground. I blinked at that before nodding.

“Right, Shadowmancy, neat.” I said. Indigo walked ahead, passing the unconscious guard on the floor. He was literally walking through the front door but before I could question him, a group of four guards had walked into view and spotted Indigo. Seeing this, Indigo grabbed his submachine gun before changing it back into its tonfa form while he unhooked the other. With blinding speed he ran up to them and knee kicked the larger faunus of the group, a bear faunus. The latter’s breath left upon impact before falling onto the floor with a quiet groan. He then batted the second nearest one of the group, a female tiger faunus armed with a red sword. Quickly he then struck the knee of the third guard, causing him to kneel down before being batted away by Indigo. Finally, the last remaining guard stood shocked at what just happened. Indigo walked up to him, grabbed his gun before headbutting him, hard.

I walked over to him and looked at the four groaning or knocked out guards then looked at him and gave him a quiet golf clap. Indigo glanced back at before throwing one of his tonfas at my directions, I flinched out of reflex only to hear it collide with something behind me. I looked back to see that it was another large faunus, this one being a large male lion faunus. He fell over with Indigo’s tonfa nearby. I blinked at this and hang my head a bit at what all this implies. Indigo walked by and stood above the groaning lion faunus before picking up his tonfa.

“Let’s go.” He said, looking towards the large warehouse just a short walk away. Everything bore the Schnee dust company logo, from the equipment to the actual building.

“I know my family is the rival to the Schnee dust company, but why does this White Fang target them so much?” I asked quietly.

“Your family’s company is well known for handling those that would tarnish their name or attempt to frame them.” Indigo answered, walking by a large container. A guard came into view, having been around the corner of the container but was quickly dispatched by Indigo. “I’ve worked a few odd jobs for them a long time ago.” He added, taking the gun of the downed White Fang guard. It was a simple pump action shotgun. He pumped the gun, causing the loaded shell to pop out. He did this a few more times before no other shell came out. He then picked up a shell and put it in his pocket.

“I’m guessing the Schnee’s aren’t or something?” I asked, making a note to ask Weiss about this later.

“The company has gone into some shady business, everyone knows this. Jacques has the habit of forgetting to pay and even, in some occasions, lacking the funds to pay for a job well done.” He said angrily before stopping in front of the large doors of the warehouse. “The man owes me up to a million lien, guy refuses to pay, I refuse to work.” He said, looking at the lock mechanism keeping the door shut. With a questioning hum, he took out the shotgun shell from his pocket and grabbing one of his tonfas. Holding the shell as it were a nail, he hammered it with enough force for the shell to release its buckshot rounds. It penetrated the lock and caused the doors to open. “Either I hit too hard or these locks are shit.” He muttered to himself.

“If the locks are shit then maybe a paper clip would’ve opened it,” I stopped to think about it. “Is that an insult to the locks or the Schnee company for getting the locks?”

Indigo let out a chuckle as we walked through the door. We climbed up some stairs until we were walking on some scaffolding. I looked down and saw a number of different Faunus wearing masks and are armed with guns and weapons. Indigo and I kept low to sneak by, I looked down and saw some others in lab coats in a small area with a few armed guards stationed.

“Are those… hostages?” I asked Indigo as I looked down and saw some boxes with the symbol of my aunt's company nearby.

“By the looks of it, I should be expecting a job offer from your aunt soon.” He said with a quiet chuckle. I turned to him and frowned at him but didn’t say anything. “In all seriousness though, we need to get them out of here before I blow this place sky high.” He said.

“That sounds like a good idea.” I said. The two of us headed off into the warehouse. Indi soon stopped around a corner to peek around the side.

“Hey.” a voice said behind us. The both of us turned to see a guard standing there with a gun in his hands. He pointed it at us before speaking. “Who are you?”

“Uh, cleaning crew?” I answered. The Faunus tilted his head before his hand went towards a walkie-talkie before a loud ‘Thunk!’ was heard and he stiffens. He soon fell over and there was a man, human, there with a two by four. He looked at us for a moment before looking down.

“You have no idea how long I wanted to do that.” he said as he looked at us. “But really, who are you two?”

“I’m Indigo Parker, this is Viri Mal Kun.” Indigo quickly replied while searching the pockets of the unconscious guard. He finally pulled out an odd looking key before pocketing it. The man looked at me with wide eyes.

“A Mal Kun? Here? Ha!” he started to laugh a bit. “This is a day, getting dragged back here only to have one of the bosses family to come here, I must have made someone happy.”

“What? Wait back here, what are you talking about?” I asked him. The man looked off and frowned at the building itself.

“I used to work for the Schnee company as one of the head workers for them but was treated badly. I couldn’t stand Jacques ideas and he made my life a living hell. It wasn’t as bad as the Faunus that also worked there but still.” the man shook his head a bit. “This is why I quit that company and started to work for the Mal Kuns, it was the same type work but it was a bit better than what I had. It also has a better dental plan.”

“Alright, why did the White Fang kidnapped you?” Indigo asked, standing up after having pocketed the key. The man frowned at this before shrugging.

“Don’t know for sure, all I do know that something is going to go down and it’s going to be big.” he said as he crossed his arms. “The White Fang got us working on replicating some sort of bullet or weapon that breaks auras,” his nose scrunched up a bit. “This Adam guy really wants us to make them faster but-” he stopped when he looked at Indigo.

“Of fucking course.” Indigo said in anger. He closed his eyes and exhaled loudly, holding back his anger. Both me and the man took a step back from him.

“Right… guessing you two have history.” the man said. “To keep this short, he wants us to find a way to make them faster but there isn’t a faster way.”

“What do you mean?” I asked, keeping an eye out for any other guards. The man shook his head.

“It just… it just can’t be done. One is you have to find people that understand what the fuck they are working with, which almost breaks every scientific law I know, and two is to find tools that can work with it, which makes either the Schnee or Mal Kun company the only ones that can come close, and finally having the time. One bullet takes about a month and a half to make!” the man shook his head. “To make it go faster is just not possible.”

“Won’t matter after I’m through here.” Indigo said, walking ahead without concern for himself getting caught.

“That’s not the worst of it…” the man said.

“What do you mean?” I asked him. He turned to me with a sad expression.

“These bullets won’t be the big thing, something else will happen, something that involves the Tournament that’s going on.” he answered. My eyes went wide as I started to run after Indigo.

“Indigo!” I yelled as I got closer. “Something is going to happen at the stadium! We have to get everyone out of here and get back!”

“You work on getting the people out, I’ll work on torching this place.” He said, holding his flask as he did. He opened the cap and I was about to yell at him for drinking at a time like this but to my surprise, he just poured whatever was left on a munitions crate. I frowned at him and looked around at the crates and got a idea.

“No, you work on getting the people out, I’m better at torching,” I explained to him. He looked at me and opened his mouth as I pulled Molten Coil out and raised an eyebrow. “My whole theme is base on fire and torching everything, I’m better at it.” He raised a brow before looking back down at the crate, following his gaze I noticed much to my horror that the top had dissolved, making me question what Indigo drinks.

“Whatever floats your boat but I’m taking this.” He said, reaching into the crate and pulling out a single bullet, similar to the one that shot him. With that, he left without another word with the other man in tow.

“It’s personal…” I muttered as I turned and ran down the halls. As I ran I heard the alarm went off and I heard the sound of footsteps running down that hall. I stopped and saw a group of guards ran past me, probably going after Indigo and the man. It didn’t matter to me as I ran to the middle of the warehouse and had my weapon at the ready. The room I was in was filled with metal crates with the Schnee symbol on it. I took Molten in both hands and concentrated on it. The sound of whirring as it started to build up heat and fire. The room started to smolder as whatever that isn’t metal burst into flames, the crate on the other hand stayed in one piece. Grunting I pushed further as the flames turned white hot and the room was the center of my inferno.

“Come on… come on…” I panted as I pushed myself close to the point where I could make another small sun like last time. I held off of that as I saw the crates were just starting to melt. “What… are these things… made of?”

I squeezed my eyes shut as I pushed myself further until I was screaming as I almost dropped my sword. It went through the grounds as something in me… clicked.

‘The Flames of Creation… this is the path you take…’

A few hours later

I open my eyes and groan as I felt a wave of soreness went over me. I push myself up and saw that I was in the Bullhead that I came with and Indigo was sitting beside me. I blinked a few times and saw my clothes were worse for wear, they were smothering a bit as most of it was burned off.

“Next time, flame resistant clothes.” I muttered.

“And a new scroll.” Indigo said, bringing my attention to the smoldering remains that were indeed my scroll. My eyes widen at this.

“My aunt… is going to kill me.” I said as I laid back down. “What happen?”

“Oh nothing much, stopped the White Fang, destroy the warehouse, and made a volcano in its place.” Indigo explained. I bolt straight up at the last part.

“I did a what now?!” I said as I turned to see, in place of the warehouse, is a volcano that had lava pouring out of it. Oddly it only went so far before stopping. I covered my face with my hands and groaned. “I have no idea what’s going on with me…”

“Is there something I should be concerned with?” Indigo asked. I looked up at him questioningly before he added. “As a professor, I have to worry if one of my students have something troubling them.” He said.

“I… I don’t know…” I said as I looked at him. “Here’s a question, have you met a student, or anyone in that matter, that can do that!” I yelled as I pointed at the volcano. As I looked I also saw what I could guess is a large wolf made out of fire walking around the volcano. “Oh come on! Where did that come from!?!”

“I… kinda wanted to know that as well, I was about to get gun down when… that came and tore into them.” Indigo added. I put my head into my hands and groaned, this was too much in a short amount of time. I felt a hand on my shoulder, bringing my attention back up to Indigo. “I’m not sure what you’re going through but that semblance of yours, that’s something special. Never seen anything like it but you need to not let it control you and you certainly shouldn’t control it. You got to find a middle ground in between the two, similar to what I did with mine.” As he said this, the shadow he casted over the ground nodded in agreement.

I looked at Indigo and his shadow before sighing, “Maybe, where’s Molten Coil?” I asked. Indigo didn’t say anything as he leaned out of the side. I looked over to see my weapon logged into the side of the Bullhead. “Oh… there she is.”

Looking at her I reached my hand out, just for it to come out of the side and into my hand. I felt a warm hum from it as I sighed and sat back down. I felt a nudge on my leg and I saw Sylph there looking up at me.

“You have some pet.” a voice said. I looked up to see the man from before flying the Bullhead. “We came out and saw one of the White Fang in a solid block of ice.”

I looked down at Sylph and picked her up. “Awww, you turned him into a White Fangsical.”

“Don’t start.” Indigo said, unamused with my joke. I rolled my eyes at him as I put Sylph down and pet her. As we flew over the forest and away from the newly made volcano the scientist spoke up.

“Uhh, you two better take a look of this.” he said. Me and Indigo looked at each other before looking through the front. My eyes widen at what I saw.

Smoke rising up from the streets and Nevermores flying over the sky. Explosions going off on the ground as one of the flying battleships was shooting the others.

“This is what the White Fang was talking about, this is the big thing that was going to happen.” the scientist said. Oni whined as he laid down while Indigo leaned back into his seat with a shocked look. The moment of silence lasted for a brief second or two before Indigo stood up, a look of anger on his face. Oni saw this and got up before looking at the side door. Without as much as a single word, Indigo opened the side door while Oni stood beside him.

“They’ve got a lot of nerve to do something like this.” Indigo said just as an Atlesian aircraft flew by, shaking the Bullhead a bit. “Adam’s a dead man.” He growled before falling forward with Oni in tow. I watched all this as the Bullhead started to turn away from the city.

“What are you doing?!” I yelled at him.

“What do you think?! That place is a war zone and I’m not going to put my life on the line for that!” he yelled back as he turned. “I’m a scientist, not a soldier or Huntsman!”

I looked over at him before at Sylph. I kneeled down and place the gem on her head. “I’ll be back soon, don’t worry.” I said as she soon disappeared. I turned to the open door and walked over to it. I saw I was in view of Beacon that was on fire.

“You’re insane.” I head the man said. I simply shrug as I took a few steps back.

“Not really, my entire trial is something like this.” I said right before I ran forward and jumped out.

Author's Notes:

Next Chapter is the last of the Beacon Academy arc also it seems there’s more to Viri’s Semblance that even she knows.

[Edit] Oh my lord it was hard to post this when Fim is acting wonky
