The Kybuck Clan Volume IV (RWBY X Star Wars)

Chapter Nine - Honored Guests

In the Belladonna Household, Zatt and Ganodi along with Blake and Sun join Ghira and Kali for a cup of tea. They all sit on the floor at a square table in the kitchen where they talk about what had happened at Beacon. 

Kali: We were horrified when we heard the news. The Kingdom of Vale isn't perfect, but it certainly didn't deserve what happened. Oh, we were both so worried.

Ghira: Please, I knew she'd be fine!

Kali: That isn't the slightest bit true. You should have seen him pacing.

Sun: You guys have nothing to worry about. I've seen your daughter in action before! And trust me, she's got some moves!

Upon saying this, all in the room took note of Sun's last words. Ghira began to glare at Sun.

Ghira: And what exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Wukong?

At this point, Sun tried to explain himself away only to make things even more awkward for himself. Kali leans over to Blake.

Kali: Why is he here again?

Blake: He just kind of followed me home.

Kali: And what of your other friends?

Zatt: We attended Beacon with Blake. She's been very kind to us. 

Ganodi: After what happened at Beacon, we decided to follow her to check up on her. 

Kali: I must say, I've never seen Faunus quite like you before. 

Upon hearing this, Zatt and Ganodi simply looked to each other. Despite Petro's idea of them impersonating Faunus, Zatt and Ganodi found it rather tricky considering how drastically different they look compared to the average Faunus. At that point, a knock came at the door. When Ghira answered, two members of the White Fang answered the door. Blake and Sun immediately become defensive.

Blake: Dad! What are you doing talking to these people?

Ghira: This is Corsac and Fennec Albain. They represent the White Fang here in Menagerie now.

Sun: Those psychos are here, too?!

Fennec: Young man, I'm not sure what you've heard of our organization, but I can assure you, we're not nearly as ferocious as the media would have you believe.

Blake: That's a lie! We saw what happened at Beacon first hand! They attacked innocent civilians and they released Grimm into the school!

At that point, Zatt and Ganodi put their hands on their Lightsabers, not knowing whether a fight would break out. 

Ghira: Is this true?

Fennec: Sadly, Your Grace, it is.

Blake: Don't act like you're s....

Ghira: Enough! Explain yourselves.

Corsac: Though it pains us to admit, it has become apparent that the Vale branch of the White Fang is no longer operating under orders of High Leader Khan. Rather, they've elected to follow the rule of one Adam Taurus. I believe you're all familiar with the young adept and his...extreme philosophies. 

Ganodi: Clearly you're not doing enough about it!

Fennec: The High Council had their suspicions of a splinter group, but they could prove nothing until this latest incident.

Blake: "Incident"? People are dead!

Blake's words put the room in an uneasy silence. Despite this, Fennec and Corsac remained calm and collected.

Corsac: And it is a tragedy.

Fennec: Your Grace, we came to assure you that Brother Taurus and his followers do not represent the will of the White Fang.

Ghira: And how can I be sure of that?

Corsac: We understand if you bear any skepticism towards these claims. The White Fang's tactics are admittedly, more aggressive since you stepped down as High Leader and became Chieftain of Menagerie. But this, this is no way to make our message heard.

Fennec: We have ample documentation from the council meeting, as well as several strategies to apprehend and punish these strays if you care to review them.

Ghira: I will, but another day. I'd like some time to reconnect with my daughter.

Corsac: But of course, Your Grace.

Corsac and Fennec bowed their heads and departed from the house. With the situation defused for now, Ganodi turned to Zatt.

Ganodi: You think those guys were telling the truth? 

Zatt: Of course I don't. Something's off about those two. If the White Fang really has a foothold here on Menagerie, then we could be in serious trouble. 

At this point, Zatt and Ganodi were distrustful of the White Fang that were present in Menagerie. Their involvement with the attack on Beacon as well as their possible connection to Darth Jadus were a great source of concern to the two Jedi. After this tense encounter, Ghira turns to Zatt and Ganodi. 

Ghira: I must apologize for that unpleasant business.

Zatt: You have nothing to apologize for, Mr. Belladonna. We are too aware of the situation with the White Fang. 

Ghira: On behalf of my family, I would like to invite you into my home as honored guests. 

Ganodi: You honor us greatly. 

Kali: The pleasure is all ours. Any friend of our daughter is always welcome in our home. 

As Kali said this, Ghira glanced over to Sun and glared at him. Sun simply lets out a nervous laugh. With that, Zatt and Ganodi graciously accepted the invitation of the Belladonnas. Despite this, Zatt and Ganodi would be on their guard, knowing the White Fang was near. Knowing the danger was near, Zatt and Ganodi decided that the best course of action was to remain close to the Belladonnas in anticipation of an attack by the White Fang. But what they didn't know was that Adam had issued special orders to White Fang cell in Menagerie attack the Belladonna Household.
