Ethan realized that his sword probably wouldn't be enough when the Grimm got back up. Bone plates began growing over all of the creature's vital points, making it more akin to a wrecking ball then an Ursa.

"Yang! You're up!" The young man shouted. He leaped backward, right as the blonde girl flew forward and slammed her fists into the giant Grimm, making it stumble.

Upon landing, Yang turned and smiled at Ethan. The young man smiled back. "That means you're making dinner, honey." Yang said, making a heart with her hands.

Ethan rolled his eyes playfully and walked to the Grimm's corpse. "That's... Really weird. Its not disintegrating like all the others," Ethan said.

Yang's eyes widened. "Ethan, get away before it-" The girl began, before the Grimm's corpse began to balloon.

Ethan tried to scramble away, but when the creature exploded, the blast wave threw the boy into a nearby rock wall.

The last thing he saw before blacking out was Yang running towards him, yelling something.

3 months later...

"Ethan.... Please wake up..." Blake sobbed. Ethan's Aberrant stood in the corner of the hospital room, motionless, as Blake wailed.

Weiss and Ruby sat outside, trying to keep their own tears from falling. Ruby held Weiss as close as possible, like it was the last thing she would ever do. Weiss simply sat, stunned.

Having only just come back from a long mission, the trio had found out about Ethan's condition a few hours ago, and Blake had broken down there and then.

Yang had been the one to tell the rest of the team. The usually loud, cheerful blonde was now silent and sad, her hair unkempt, and bags under her eyes. Her clothes were wrinkled, and her eyes were dull.

The silent blonde sat by Ethan's bed, motionless. Ethan's Aberrant silently approached Blake, and gently guided her out of the room, motioning for Yang to follow.

Yang placed a soft kiss on Ethan's forehead, then followed the shadow out of the room.

Sorry for the short chapter!!! The next one will be longer, should anyone read this story XD.
