Chapter 18

<Ikagaki p.o.v.>

The Faunus known as Sun was currently arm wrestling me.

It was a cute gesture...but futile.

With barely a fraction of my strength I slammed his arm onto the table.

He hurt his hand.

"I win...again" I said.

"Damn you're strong. Never met a Faunus as strong as you" He said.

"I'm not a Faunus, I'm part alien" I said.

"Y-You're kidding right...yeah you're joki-oh no you're not" Sun said in shock.

I chuckled.

"So..." Blake said.

We turned to her.

"You wanna know more about me" She said.

Sun seemed happy, I was just glad she wanted to speak...so I guess I am too.

"Finally she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks" Sun said.

Blake responded with squinty eyes.

"Yeah like that" Sun said.

Blake rolled her eyes.

"Sun, Ikagaki, are you familiar with the White Fang" She asked.

"The Faunus group" I asked.

"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks if you ask me" Sun said.

"I don't have a specific opinion of them. I do know that they want equality which is understandable, but the methods they use are quite extreme" I said.

Blake sipped her drink, Sun did too.

"I was once a member of the White Fang" Blake said.

Sun spit out his drink in surprise, I would appreciate it if it wasn't spat on me.

"Wait, you were a member of the White Fang" Sun said in surprise.

"That's right, I was a member for most of my life actually. You could almost say I was born into it. 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. Of course, despite being promised equality the Faunus were subjugated to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice for our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. And I actually thought we were making a difference...but I was just a youthful optimist. Then five years ago our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader with a new way of thinking. 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" She said.

I placed my hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"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 become a huntress. So here I am...a criminal hiding in plain view. All with the help of a little, black bow" Blake said, her bow twitching.

"So...have you told your friends any of this" Sun asked.

Blake closed her eyes and put her head down.

Her actions explained itself.

"When you're ready you should tell them. And if anything happens...we're here" I said.

She turned to me and smiled.

<Y/n p.o.v.>

We were all looking for Blake.

Ika told me she's ok but he refuses to tell us where in fear of Weiss finding her.

"BLAKE" Ruby and I called out.

"Blaaaake" Yang called out.

We were all trying to find her our way, well everyone except Weiss.

"Weiss you're not helping" Ruby said.

"You know who might be able to help....the police" Weiss said.

Ruby scowled at Weiss' remark.

"It was just an idea" Weiss said.

"Yeah a bad one" Ruby said.

"You have lost your opinion rights Schnee" I said.

"I HAVE A NAME YOU KNOW" She shouted.

I rolled my eyes as we kept walking.

We continued walking.

"Weiss I believe we should hear her side of the story first before jumping to any conclusions" Yang said.

"I think when we hear it you'll all realize that I was right" Weiss said.

"And I think Weiss' hair looks wonderful today" A voice said.

We jumped from the surprise visit.

"PENNY WHERE DID YOU COME FROM" Ruby said.

"Hey guys, what are you up to" Penny asked.

"We're looking for our friend Blake" Yang said.

"Oh...you mean the Faunus girl" Penny said.

I nodded in agreement.

"Wait, how did you know that" Ruby asked.

"The cat ears" Penny said pointing to her head.

"What cat ears? She wears a...bow" Yang said.

A moment of silence filled the air, even a tumbleweed passed by.

"So where is she" Penny asked.

"We don't know. She's been missing since Friday" Ruby said.

Penny gasped.

"That's terrible! Well don't you worry Ruby my friend! I won't rest until we find your teammate" Penny said.

"Uh that's really nice of you Penny...but w-we're ok really, right guys" Ruby asked.

Weiss and Yang snuck away whilst they were talking.

I heard a notification coming from my scroll.

It was from Ika.

"Hi Y/n" He said.

"Hi Ika, where's Blake" I asked.

"Blake's fine she-hold on...okay...you sure...ok then, she wants a word" He said.

I heard another person on the speaker.

"...hi Y/n" Blake said.

"Tell us where you are, we'll find you" I said.

"I don't want to come back, not yet. I'm not ready to confront Weiss" Blake said.

"Ok, but please stay safe. I wouldn't like it if my first Faunus friend was hurt. I cared for you since the first day of Beacon and I will continue to do so" I said.

I heard her gasp.

"You've known since the first day" She asked.

"Of course I did. I didn't care much for it because I thought it was just a usual thing on this planet, I never expected it to be deeper" I said.

"How come you didn't tell anyone" She asked.

"You had your ears behind a bow, so it seemed like you wanted to hide them...so I didn't say anything" I said.

I think I heard some sniffling.

"You kept my secret...for my betterment" She asked.

"It seemed like the appropriate response" I said.

She chuckled, it was good to hear her happy.

"You're too good for this worl-HEY" Blake said.

"Don't worry bro, Mr Samurai and I will look after Blake for you" A voice said.

"Who are you" I asked.

"The handsome Faunus from before, the name's Sun" He said.

Oh the Monkey Faunus!

"Ok, Ika look after them for now" I said.

"Fine, but don't expect to order me around so much" Ika said.

<Ikagaki p.o.v.>

I was walking with Blake and Sun.

A lot of people were giving me the odd looks but it's to be expected.

I'm a giant samurai and that's not normal.

"So what's the plan now" Sun asked.

"I still don't believe the White Fang is behind these robberies. They've never needed that much Dust before" Blake said.

"What if they did? I mean, the only way to prove that they didn't do it is to go to the place where they would most likely to go to if they were to do it, and not find them there...right" Sun asked.

That sounded complicated.

"The only thing is, I have no idea where that would be" Blake asked.

"Well whilst I was on the ship I heard some guys talking about offloading a HUGE shipment of Dust coming in from Atlas" Sun said.

"How huge" Blake asked.

"HUGE! Big Schnee Company freighter" Sun said.

That sounds huge.

"You sure" Blake asked.

"If there's even a chance of it being true we have to check it out. If it is true then it could become something much larger" I said.

"So who's up for foiling evil plans" Sun asked.

"I'll go get my dogs" I said.

Blake grabbed my shoulder tightly.

"NO DOGS" She said sternly.

<Yang p.o.v.>

I exited a store after asking for signs of Blake.

I gave my thanks despite not getting anything.

"This is hopeless....you don't really care if we find her do you" I asked.

"Don't be stupid. I do care, I'm just afraid of what we'll say if we find her" Weiss said.

She began walking away.

"The innocent never run Yang" She said.

"That's wrong" I said.

"Really...how am I wrong" She asked.

"Ikagaki and Y/n" I simply said.

She looked unamused.

"They both left everything they knew behind. They've been running for a really long time and from what it seems they're still running" I said.

Weiss looked sad.

"It's up to us to make sure that we help to slow down. If we can make them stop running we can make their lives better" I said.

Weiss took a step closer.

"So when you say the innocent never run just turn to the two of them, and know that they're still running" I said.

"Fine! When we meet Blake I'll...try to be considerate in what I say and think about her" Weiss said.

"And" I implied.

"And we'll try to help both Ikagaki and Y/n" I said.

I nodded with a smile.

"Good Ice Queen" I said.

<Y/n p.o.v.>

"So, Blake is your friend" Penny asked.

Ruby sighed.

"Yes Penny" Ruby said.

"But you're mad at her" Penny asked.

"Yes! W-well I'm not, Weiss is" Ruby said.

"Is 'she' friends with Blake" Penny asked.

I'm questioning that myself to be honest.

"Well that's kind of up in the air right now" Ruby said.

"But why" Penny asked.

Ruby sighed again.

"Well you see, Blake might not be who we thought she was" Ruby said.

Penny gasped.

"Is she a man" Penny whispered.

I laughed at the comment.

"No no Penny she's...I don't know what she is. She didn't exactly talk to us before she decided to run off" Ruby said.

"I don't have a lot of friends, but if I did I would want them to talk to me about things" Penny said.

Ruby looked away.

"Me too" Ruby said before she continued walking.

Speaking of talking about things...

"Hey Ruby, do you mind if I talk to Penny alone for a bit, we'll catch up shortly" I asked.

"Oh...ok, yeah sure" Ruby said before walking away.

Penny turned to me.

"What's up friend Y/n" She asked with a smile.

"Penny, don't take offense about this but...I know what you are" I said.

"What do you mean" She asked.

I tried to think of a way to explain...so I did what Jaune did when he tried impersonating me.

I did the sterotypical robot dance.

Penny's face went from happy to one of shock and fear.

"Y-You know...you know about me" She said scared.

"Yes...and don't worry I'll keep it a secret" I said.

"How did you find out what I am? I thought I did a perfect human impersonation" She asked.

I showed my arm.

I morphed my arm into my endoskeleton arm.

"Us mechanical organisms gotta stick together" I said showing my appendage.

I gave a thumbs up with my mechanical arm.

"You're a machine too" She asked with eyes frilled with wonder.

"Yes, however I am from another timeline. I come from the future from another planet, one filled with war. I came here to start a new life, and so I'm becoming a huntsman to save this world. It's good to know that there's someone like me in this world" I said.

She smiled widely as she hugged me.

"Thank you for being my first 'robot' friend" She said happily.

Something inside of me sparked.

I felt a surge of strange coding appear, similar to when I 'evolve'.

This surge, this...feeling is similar to when I protect my friends but this time it was stronger.

It's telling me...screaming at me to....

<New_Objectives_Aquired>

<Track_Penny>

<Protect_Penny>

<Await_Further_Instructions>

Protect Penny?

I need more information before I do anything too bizarre.

I'll continue protecting her as a friend...for now.

As of now I was currently still hugging Penny.

"We better catch up to Ruby before-"I said.

"You both look so cute" A voice said.

It was Ruby, she had a wide smirk on her face.

Penny and I smiled.

(We have no idea what she meant).

<Timeskip in Ikagaki p.o.v.>

We were waiting at the docks for the White Fang...or literally anyone.

We as in Blake and I, Sun disappeared somewhere.

He did come back but...he had some apples in his arms.

"Did I miss anything" Sun asked.

I shook my head.

"Not really. They've offloaded the crates off the boat, now they're just sitting there" Blake said.

"Cool" He said.

He handed Blake an apple.

"I stole you some food" He said.

"Do you always break the law without a second thought" Blake asked.

"Hey weren't you in a cult or something" Sun said.

Blake glared at him.

Dumbass.

"Ok too soon" Sun said.

We then saw one of the planets forms of transportation arrive, I think this type was called a Bullhead.

Once it landed we saw some of the White Fang members come out.

They were armed...which meant I could hunt them.

I decided to cloak and sneak around to the other side.

When I got into a good position I saw Roman Torchwick come out of the Bullhead.

I thought the White Fang was an all Faunus group, so why is there a human here?

Before I could engage I saw Blake sneak over to Roman and place her blade up at his neck.

As Blake tried to talk to the White Fang some more Bullheads appeared.

Whilst she was distracted by the Bullheads Roman fired a shot from his cane which blasted Blake away.

Blake kept dodging as Roman kept firing.

As Blake ran away Sun dropped a banana peel on Roman.

I found that amusing.

As White Fang soldiers appeared from behind Roman, I decided to make my presence known.

I uncloaked and stood up into the open.

I took a deep breath in and....

https://youtu.be/xKJp_5lKiXI

Everyone looked at me.

I could feel the fear in the soldiers.

As I jumped down from my spot two WF soldiers stood bak in fear.

"I-IT'S THE DEMON SAMURAI" One of them said.

"W-What do we do boss" The other one asked Roman.

"Isn't it obvious...KILL IT" Roman said.

Before the WF soldiers could pull out their blades I had already decapitated them.

As the others tried shooting me I ran around and dodged their attacks.

Just like the people on Earth their tech is low and kinda disappointing.

As I began dealing with the soldiers Blake and Sun dealt with Roman.

During the fight Sun was about to be killed by Roman.

Before she could a familiar voice called out.

"Hey" The voice said.

We turned and saw....Ruby!

"Oh hi little red, isn't it past your bed time" He said.

"Ruby, are these people your friends" Penny asked from behind Ruby.

"Penny get back" Ruby said.

Roman shot at Ruby.

Before the shot could reach Ruby a metal dome appeared around Ruby.

When the dome came down it took the form of...Y/n.

Penny stood in front of Ruby.

Penny pulled out a sword from her backpack.

Her sword split into multiple swords.

She jumped off the roof and began attacking WF members.

She joined by my side.

Her skills are quite...incredible.

She's worthy to make it onto my prized trophy wall!

Y/n ran to us after checking Ruby's wounds.

The three of us fought side by side in fighting the WF.

"What took you so long" I asked.

"Sightseeing, duh" He said.

"Can you two stop flirting and just get to the dancing already" Penny asked.

"Room for one more" Ruby asked as she joined us.

We all smirked as enemies surrounded us.

"Alright kids, remember your dance partners and...don't forget to sparkle" Y/n said.

We raised our fists up high.

"LET'S GO" We shouted.

<Blake p.o.v.>

Those four are having fun.

They're having badass smack-talk during a fight, they're fighting in sync, and they're having fun.

Y/n and Penny were 'dancing' in sync, with Ruby and Ikagaki following their own 'dance' to show.

Yang would love this.

Eventually three bullheads arrived and began shooting at us.

Penny formed her blades into a circle and fired a laser that destroyed two of them.

One of the bullheads tried taking away the Schnee Dust container.

As it tried getting away Penny stabbed her swords into the side of the Bullhead.

She was somehow dragging it down.

She then forced the Bullhead to crash.

Roman then escaped into a Bullhead.

Damn...atleast we stopped the White Fang today...for now.

"WE DID IT" Penny cheered.

As I turned around I saw Penny run into Y/n in a giant hug.

"You were awesome Y/n" Penny cheered happily.

"Oh please you did better" Y/n said.

Ruby was given a gentle nudge on the arm from Ikagaki.

"You did good too Ruby, let's do more of this again" He said with a laugh.

Ruby was so happy she decided to hug Ikagaki out of sheer joy.

The two of them laughed.

<Timeskip>

Weiss and Yang had just arrived.

Weiss began walking to us.

"Look Weiss it's not what you think she explained everything you see she has cat ears and they're actually kind of cute..." Ruby tried explaining to Weiss.

Weiss walked to me.

"Weiss I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang, back when I was with.." I said.

"Stop, do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you, twelve hours, that means I've had twelve hours to think about this, and in that twelve hours I've decided...." Weiss said.

We were waiting on her response.

"I don't care" Weiss said.

"You don't care" I asked.

"You said you're not associated with them anymore right" Weiss said.

I was about to speak but Weiss cut me off.

"I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you'll come to your team mates-and them *points at Ikagaki and Y/n*, and not some...*looks at the Sun* someone else" Weiss said.

Happiness filled me as I wiped a tear.

"Of course" I said.

We smiled at each other.

"Good work...Weiss" Y/n said.

She seemed happier thanks to his comment.

"I'm still not quite sure how I feel about you" Weiss said to Sun.

He chuckled nervously.

"Hey wait a minute...where's Penny" Ruby asked.

Y/n seemed sad that she left.

Does he...like her?

<Penny p.o.v.>

I was sad to leave my new friends.

Right now I was getting scolded.

I honestly didn't care.

I only had one thing on my mind.

Y/n...my new mechanical friend.

Wait...why did it hurt when I just called him my friend?

Something in me surged whenever I got close to him.

That fight...him and I fighting in sync...it only made it stronger.

Ever since I met him I haven't gotten him out of my memory.

I then thought about what I said during the fight.

"Can you two stop flirting and just get to the dancing already"

That word...Flirting.

Flirting = Love

Could it be...

D-Do I...L-L-NO!

I-It couldn't be....

The thought of Y/n and I in LOVE is....

<New_Objectives_Aquired>

<Track_Y/n>

<Protect_Y/n>

<Await_Further_Instructions>

These instructions...they feel important to me.

They ARE important to me...HE is important to me.

I must protect him!

Just you wait Y/n...
