Clyde POV
There was a funeral for my grandma. It was to be held within the next two days. Meanwhile, me and Xander had to figure out where to stay.

While Xander tried to find a place to stay, I decided to go to pay my mother a visit. Her tombstone was located in the forest I ran into when I left this town. Her grave was surrounded by flowers and in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees.

"Hey mom! Sorry I haven't been visiting lately! I've been really busy with becoming a huntsman. Also, I met this girl. Her name is Yang. She's REALLY pretty but I don't know if I love her yet..... I mean, I definitely like her. But love her? I'm still working on it. Ummm let's see.......... Oh! Did you see grandma yet?! Yeah mom, she died. I'm gonna miss her." I said to the tombstone. I could still feel the forcefield I had put so that people wouldn't bother her grave.

"I knew you'd be here." Said a very familiar female voice. A very familiar voice. Drawing my sword to block hers, I replied to the voice.

"What are you doing here, Paige?" She looked surprise.

"Clyde?! Why're you here?!" She roared at me. Now it was my turn to become confused.

"This is my mother's grave. Leave, or I will kill you." I told her. I meant it too.

"What are you talking about? This isn't your mother's grave. This is Adam's mother's grave. He visits frequently." She told me while dodging my slash. At the mention of the name 'Adam', I perked up. How did she know about Adam!?

"Adam is dead." I told her, clutching the hilt of my sword and standing still.

"We are both talking about Adam Taurus, right?" She asked me, also standing down.

"Adam......Taurus?" I said in confusion. Taurus....... Why does he know about his middle name!? I rushed forward, about to completely destroy her when another figure came out of the shadows. The figure smashed me into the ground and proceeded to raise his pitch-black knife. Wait. Pitch-black?

"Adam?" I asked horsely.

"Adam Drakken is dead. I am Adam Taurus, the strongest Faunus to ever live!" Adam announced. Then he brought his knife down on my neck.

Adam POV (Bam! Wasn't expecting that now, we're ya?!")

I brought the tip of my knife into his neck. I could still feel his pulse. He was still alive somehow.

"Neo. Take him back to headquarters. I'll handle Xander," I told Neo. As she was about to move, I felt a massive pressure coming from Clyde. It was almost suffocating. When I looked down, his eyes were open. They were full of rage. Then, to my surprise, he pulled the knife from his neck to reveal no blood. His strength was amazing. Was this really my little brother? Had my father really shaped him into this?!

"No matter what you say, you'll always be my older brother. Even if you ran away and supposedly died at our father's hands. But I can't forgive what you've done to our mother's grave. No matter what, even if it's against you, I'll kill anyone who messes with our mother's grave!" He shouted then, he threw me into a tree 50 feet back. I noticed the crater my punch had made. It destroyed the tombstone.
