Hey sorry for not uploading work picked up and I just didn't have the energy and time to write. Hope everyone is doing well, I'll try to get the next one out on time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Well, this makes things a tad more difficult,' I think as Summer and Meg squeeze me in between them. Usually, I wouldn't complain, but there are things I need to do.
After waiting thirty minutes, I use the system to buy a stealth skill and level it a bit, then carefully extract myself from in between the two beauties. Then, I activate my sensory abilities while crouching close to the ground as my bare feet sink into the cold snow.
Everyone is asleep. Most are restless though, everyone must be having nightmares. So I use my powers to will all of them to have sweet dreams. 'I don't want anyone to wake up while I'm working or worse attract Grimm,' I think. The guards are all looking outward. As long as I don't make a sound, I should get away with this scott free.
I see that Merlot is sleeping on the other side of the small camp near where Will is standing guard. So I start moving towards her being as quiet as possible.
As I move through the camp, the sound of snoring and breathing covering the sound of my footsteps, when I'm about halfway a hand lands on my foot, the same old man who's been an absolute nuisance.
He mutters in his sleep, "The cape is cute...nothing else though… I'll cover your silver eyes with my…." I will his wet dream to be about multiple men with him as the sub. 'How dared a slimy creep like you even dream about the wholesome cookie queen like that,' I think as I remove my foot from under his hand and continue towards my objective. While moving, I think about my secret outburst and feel a little guilty about using my powers to mess with him, but I really hate people acting as he does.
I finally reach Merlot. Her cloak and lab coat lay neatly folded next to her. I reach forward and crush the vials in the coat. 'If I take them, she'll be suspicious, but if they're crushed, the sample will degrade and become contaminated quickly,' I think as I start moving back to my sleeping bag.
Quickly and quietly, I move back to my sleeping bag, and as I wipe the snow off my feet, Summer opens her eyes and looks at me. Thinking quickly, I say, "I had to use the bathroom. Sorry for waking you." She looks at me quizzically, then smiles and makes room for me to get back into the sleeping bag. Slipping back in between them, I finally relax and enjoy their warm embrace as I decide to get some sleep.
Stirring in my sleep, I realize Solomon isn't in between me and Meg. Lazily lifting my head, I look around and see him messing with the doctor's lab coat. He turns and starts to come back, so I lower my head and close my eyes, 'I'll ask him about it when he gets over here,' I decide.
A few seconds later, I open my eyes and see him brushing snow off his feet. He looks at me and says, "I had to use the bathroom. Sorry for waking you." 'That's not what you were doing,' I think as I smile and make room for him. 'If you don't want to tell me, then I'll just find out for myself, you little scamp,' I think as I drift back to sleep.
Will woke me up a few hours later for my shift, and as he laid down, I walked over to the doctor. She was still sleeping, so I inspected her lab coat and found broken vials and red and gold scabs in her coat pocket. 'Did Solomon break these? Why? I can understand the doctor taking samples of his peculiar blood, but why would he destroy the sample?' I think as I fold the coat and place it back amongst her things.
I take my post as questions and theories flood my head. The time passed slowly as nothing happened while I was on guard duty with the pilot and another civilian. Eventually, the sun rose, and we woke everyone up.
"What! Damn it!" I hear as I look over at the doctor. I walk over to her and ask, "Is everything alright?" She looks up at me like I just caught her red-handed, then quickly says, "N..No, I just realized I lost something in the crash, but it's not important.'
"Ok, if there is any way I can help, just let me know," I say and walk away. 'She is up to something. Why would she cover up the fact she had the vials or that they were destroyed?' I think as I walk over to Solomon and Meg.
I pull Solomon of to the side, away from everyone, and say to him, "Solomon, is there anything you want to tell me about last night?" He looks into my eyes as if contemplating something. The thought about how gorgeous his diamond-like eyes are pops into my head, but I brush that aside as he says to me, "Don't trust the doctor," before turning and running back to the group.
'That settles it then. Something is going on. Is the doctor trying to do something to Solomon? Why wouldn't he tell me if she was? Why was she hiding the fact she took samples of his blood?' I think as I walk to the pilot.
He looks at me and asks, "Is everything alright?" I frown and respond, "I don't know, but could you do me a favor and keep an eye on Solomon as we walk today?" He smiles and agrees.
With that handled and everyone ready, we set off.
'She must have woken up earlier than I thought. I should have kept my sensory ability active or leveled my stealth skill more... Well, at least I dropped a hint about Merlot. Maybe the butterfly effect can save Mt. Glen,' I think as we set off.
As we set off, I noticed the pilot of the ship move to walk next to me. I don't mind him and I can use him as a buffer to limit what the good doctor can do around me.
As we walk for a few hours, I get bored and decide to max out my conduit ability to try my luck again.
[New skills selected: Lesser Teleportation and Psionic Drain]
~Lesser Teleportation Class F lvl 1 0/5~
The User has unlocked this ability through the conduit gene. This ability allows the User to teleport small distances within sight.
~Psionic Drain Class E lvl 1 0/2,560~
The User has unlocked this ability through the conduit gene. This ability allows the User to drain the natural psychic energy of others. Warning: Draining psychic energy causes permanent damage
'Now that's what I'm talking about. Teleportation will easily cover my disabled range abilities. The drain ability is morally gray, but I can decide who to use it on and whether to use it at all,' I think and frown at how expensive it'll be to level psionic drain.
I maxed out lesser teleportation, and to my surprise, it evolved into minor teleportation. The main difference being now my teleportation doesn't rely on sight. As I'm thinking about my gains and what comes next, I'm pulled from my thoughts by the pilot putting his hand in front of me.
I look up at him quizzically, but he is staring forward in terror. Then, looking around, I notice we are in a clearing, and I can see numerous red eyes in the tree line all around us. I quickly activate my sensory abilities and see that we are surrounded by twenty-five Beowolves, then I notice a bird about seven miles out.
The bird is giving off life and emotional signature far too powerful for a simple bird. The direction it is flying is heading straight for the crash site. I point two fingers towards the sky and pour sixty ki into a ki beam.
Everyone looks at me with awe and confusion as the ten-inch-thick purple beam shoots into the sky. The bird immediately diverts from its original course, and it is heading straight for us. Judging the distance versus his speed, it should take him ten minutes to get here.
With everyone staring at me questioningly, I simply say, "I have my reasons." Everyone huddles together in between the three hunters, and they take battle stances. I jump up on the pilot's shoulders and tell him, "Keep as steady as you can."
I could kill all of them by myself, but with how terrified the group is in general, building their confidence in the hunters will be better for our journey. I'll focus on keeping them from being overwhelmed. Once Qrow gets here, it'll be easy for them to clean the Grimm up.
Slowly the Beowolves start to step into the clearing. As if on cue, Summer, Meg, and Will open fire with their ranged weapons. Firing more for suppression than accuracy, they clipped and wounded a lot of the Grimm as they started their charge.
An idea pops in my head, and I hesitate because I don't want a repeat of the last incident, but wars aren't won without risk. So I activate my psionic drain on all the Grimm, causing all of them to stumble.
The mental toll was high but manageable as I slowly drained the Grimm of their mental energy, causing them to become increasingly clumsy and lethargic. The Hunter capitalized on this wiping the floor with the Beowolves.
'Definitely worth the purchase,' I think as I watch Summer and Meg quickly kill their share of the Grimm and rush to help Will with the last few on his end. 'He should really invest in a melee weapon,' I think as the notices for the defeated Grimms flow in.
'Hmm, all my psychic skills leveled. The amount of exp from the kills should have brought me close, not top me over. Unless draining others mental energy strengthens my psychic related skills,' I think as I resolve only to use this thing on Grimm.
All in all, they cleared the Grimm in less than four minutes, not bad. As the last Grimm dissipates, Summer turns and stares at me for a few seconds, then approaches me. "You did something to the Grimm, didn't you?" she says, looking at me questioningly. I coyly reply, "I'm sorry the answers you are looking for cost six of the cookies."
She continues to stare at me, but now she's trying to suppress a smile. "Ok, ok, I'll get you as much of the cookies as you want when we get out of here, but you have to tell me what you did once we stop for the day,' she says while trying to conceal the concern and worry in her voice.
"Ok," I say with a smile knowing this conversation was coming either way. So I can use her trusting nature to sell an explanation about my abilities to Ozpin. I feel a little guilty about using Summer like this, but there are too many unknowns to be altruistic right now.
Suddenly a man with black spikey hair and red eyes wearing a red cloak, gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and shoes with a large sword on his back bursts out of the tree line. "Summer!" he screams as he rushes forward. "Qrow!" Summer calls back, and pedal bursts to him and wraps him in a hug.
"Ok, petal princess, now that I found you try not to get lost again," Qrow asks. Summer laughs and pulls Qrow towards the rest of us. "This is Will, Meg, and this cute little button in Solomon," Summer says as she points to each of us respectively.
""Hello,"" Meg and Will say simultaneously, and I say, "Sup."
"I'm guessing the other hunters didn't make it then," Qrow says solemnly. Summer frowns and nods. Sighing, Qrow says, "There is a village two days from here. I'll arrange a pick up from there." Qrow pulls out a scroll and hands one to Summer. "This is the new model. It'll pick up a signal even all the way out here," he says as he starts walking in the direction we were heading before.
Summer smiles and puts the scroll away, then turns to everyone. "Everyone, Qrow is a fellow hunter and friend, and as you heard, we are only two days away from sleeping in normal beds and being safe. So let's move!" she announces to the group as the hunters take up their posts, and we set off.
With the announcement of how close we were to civilization, the display of the hunter skill, and the addition of another hunter, the atmosphere took a complete turn, from the quiet and terrified group to a jovial one. The group is full of smiles, and everyone excitedly talks about what they will do when they get back home.
I hop off the pilot's shoulders and activate my sensory abilities. Will has calmed down and is giving off the air of an actual hunter, and Merlot is staring a hole into the back of my head but not moving closer, probably due to the pilot being next to me. The old man talks with some of the other survivors, Meg is diligently keeping watch, and Summer and Qrow are talking about something ahead of the group.
'If she is telling him about what happened up to this point, I need to know his response,' I think. I wonder if I concentrate on the vibrations in the air around them if I can make out what they're saying. So I focus, and I smile as it works.
"...telling you it's true, he wiped them out himself," I say, slightly frustrated that Qrow was teasing her about this.
"Ok, I know we told you to find reasonable explanations for the aftermath when you use either of your powers but seriously, saying a kid did it. I knew you were bad at lying, but damn, that's bad even for you, princess," Qrow laughs.
"I'm serious Qrow, he's powerful, and I don't think it's a semblance either. It felt as if life itself answered his call, but not in a magic way. Instead, he summoned hundreds of purple fireflies that wiped out all the Grimm at his command," I say as the memory of that night replays in my head.
"If what you say is true, then we need to tell Ozpin. Then, he'll know what to do," Qrow says to me, finally taking my word seriously.
"There is one more thing… I've decided to take him in and give him a home," I say, about to list off all the reasons he needs me as his mother.
"I think that's a good idea," Qrow says.
"I understand you might be against it, but I've decided, and I need you to back me up when...Wait, what you agree!" I say as I hug Qrow.
"Easy there, I'm just saying if what you say is true, then he'll be in danger of being used and exploited anywhere else or worse," Qrow says as he half-heartedly tries to shake me off.
"Exactly!" I say happy I won't have to argue with him and Tie on this. My thoughts drift to the scroll, 'If what Qrow said is true, I'll be able to call home, but do I want to,' I think, and guilt hits me instantly. Of course, I do, but…
I shake myself out of it and decide to focus on getting to the next rest point and make the call then. So the rest of the walk is Qrow and me catching up with him, mainly making cheesy jokes.
