Third Person POV
"We normally go to with you guys, which means stuff's always exploding and junk, so we thought this might be a better way to check out the kingdom when it's, you know... normal," Sun explained shrugging.
"Wise choice, Wukong," A formal yet deep voice said from behind. They all turn around and see Team GHZT and a tall shadow figure with a top hat.
"Thanks-" Sun interrupted himself as he looked at Jester. "Who-, What are you?"
"Oh yeah, you guys haven't met Jester yet," Ajax said looking at Jester. "This is Jester, my Guardian."
Ajax looked over at the other students and they all looked astonished. He chuckled and glimpsed over at Weiss, who seemed to not be as surprised as everyone else.
"Long story short, my dad's family's semblance grants us a Guardian. They are sentient shadows and their solemn duty is to protect their Ward, me in my case," Ajax explained as Jester tipped his hat.
"A pleasure to meet my boy's friends and acquaintances," Jester looks over at Weiss. "And girlfriend..."
Jester smiled, although he has no face, and Weiss got visibly flustered by his comment. Ajax appeared to be in the same situation as her.
"Jester, let's not embarrass me like that..." Ajax said glaring at Jester, who just chuckled at their reactions.
"Fine then. We ought to go, we're already late," Jester said pointing at his wrist as if he had a clock, which we didn't have due to his shadowy nature.
"What are you guys doing for your mission?" Ruby asked curiously.
"We're going to the hades ocean to close a Grimm breach of some sort," Hana explained.
"We're killing lots of Grimm underwater!" Zack intervened.
"That sounds so cool!" Stars appeared in Ruby's excited eyes.
"I know right?!" Zack responded, both uniting their excitement.
"I'm sorry to interrupt all of this cheering, but as Jester said, we ought to get going," Titus said as he motioned to Jester with his right hand.
"Right, we'll be going now," Ajax said and they all bid their farewells.
The three teams wandered off to their respective paths and Team GHZT headed to a Bullhead, which would take them to the docks where a submarine fibbed there waiting for their arrival. Soon enough, they anchored at the docks and got off the Bullhead, and quickly got inside the submarine.
Ajax POV
"Does anyone know how to use this shit?" Zack asked inspecting the cabin of the submarine.
"I'll take care of it," Titus said confidently as he took a seat in the pilot's seat.
"Do you know how to control a submarine?" Hana asked Titus.
"Believe it or not, I do. It's one of the many talents the Iceborne family has," Titus explained as he pressed some bits and bops on the console.
"Right then, I think the coordinates were given to us, so you think you can follow them?" Ajax asked Titus.
"Of course," Titus responded as the submarine inundated the water. "Leave it to me."
The submarine was pretty speedy thanks to some of the nature of Dust and we arrived quickly at the location we were given, just outside of some cave.
"Alright kiddos, generally I'd be in charge but I think you guys are pretty fit to not be instructed by me. I'll just debrief quickly the mission," Jester's body materialized from me. "Your mission is to carry this bomb to a breach recently spotted in the Hades ocean. You must plant the bomb and activate it. Once activated you'll have around two minutes to get as far as you can from the bomb. Do not hesitate to kill any Grimm that comes your way. Ajax will be in charge."
