A Single Voice

Slowly making their way back to the hall, Magna tried his best to stay calm. Which was actually quite hard.

He may have expelled Kurama's influence from his soul but that didn't stop his emotions from accessing Kurama's powers.

Even Kurama himself was helpless to stop it since Naruto had to go through the exact same thing. Magna wanted nothing more than to rip those who harmed Weiss apart but he had to hold himself back.

Ironwood was a man of justice and he wanted the faunus that attacked Weiss to go through the proper channels and be tried in a court of law. Magna respected the general's sense of duty so placed his trust in him, at least for now.

That didn't stop Magna from taking on fox-like qualities as he barely contained himself. His eyes flickered a deep red as an occasional wisp of crimson aura seeped out from his body before slowly retracting.

Ironwood and Steel were both calm as they slowly made their way forwards while the curious little cat girl silently followed them from behind. She wasn't fooling anyone but they all unanimously decided not to call her out.

Magna actually found her presence helpful as her innocence seemed to help him reign in his anger. He knew that he could just change into Danny's powers to stop himself but he didn't want to.

Kurama's powers fed off his emotions and in return, he gave Magna strength. Just in case something happens, whether it be the faunus regaining conciousness or Jacques guards, Magna wanted to be ready.

It took a few minutes but they managed to make it the hall. However, just as Magna entered the room…

"I guess you don't need these anymore!"

Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone that just arrived, Willow's snow white heel pierced straight through Jacques's family jewels, destroying the floor as cracks spread outwards from Willow's heel.

Magna paled as he subconsciously cringed and crossed his legs. However, he didn't feel a hint of pity for Jacques.

What did surprise Magna was how quiet the hall was. Everyone besides the Schnees stood absolutely still, just like a statue.

Willow slowly removed her shoe from Jacques's crotch, giving the bloody shoe a look of contempt before ultimately discarding both shoes as she opted to be barefooted.

A bright smile, not the fake one she used in public, appeared on her face as she twirled in a childish manor towards Magna and happily said, "Magna!"

Before Magna could react, a row of glyphs appeared on the ground between him and Willow. With wide eyes, Magna jumped in surprise as Willow seemingly teleported as she lifted him into a deep hug.

She smothered him into her bulging chest as she happily started kissing his head. This earned her a couple weird looks from Ironwood and Steel before both men ultimately decided to mind their own business as they casually stared at the walls.

Magna's cheeks lit up in a bright blush as he struggled to breath. Luckily, Willow wasn't trying to kill him as she quickly eased up on her hugging. However, she didn't release him as she carried him with a big smile on her face.

Ironwood looked at Jacques and shuddered as he cautiously asked, "What… exactly happened here?"

Willow's smile didn't fade as she slowly recounted what had happened. By the end of her explanation, Ironwood couldn't help but call Jacques an idiot.

Ironwood tolerated Jacques because he thought that even though Jacques was an arrogant prick with control issues, he would at least be able to tell right from wrong.

However, after Willow slowly recounted Jacques actions over the years, it took alot of willpower to stop him from 'accidentally' shooting Jacques in the knees 6 times.

Magna, still being cradled in Willow's arms, sat in silence. His fox-like features became more prominent but when he remembered what Willow just did, he held back his anger. It wasn't his place to punish Jacques for his actions.

Gazing up at Willow from within her arms, Magna ignored his embarrassment and asked, "Willow, how is Weiss holding up? Can I see her? I might be able to heal her."

Suddenly, Willow's eyes brightened even further as she happily screamed, "That's right! You can heal people!"

Ironwood's casual expression changed when he heard her. As far as he knew, Magna only had combat capabilities. He was kept out of the loop when it came to Magna's healing abilities.

Magna caught his expression from the corner of his eye and smiled. Kurama already informed him that Qrow couldn't keep his mouth shut about his so called 'skill creation' semblance.

However, it was nice to know that he didn't spill the beans about his healing ability.

Throwing those thoughts to the back of his head, Magna jumped out of Willow's embrace, something which caused her to pout like a child, as he sped towards Winter and her younger siblings.

When he arrived before her, Winter couldn't hold back her tears as she shakily said, "M-Magna… will Weiss be okay?"

Magna's heart soften as his anger slowly disappeared. Gently wiping the tears from her face, Magna caressed her cheek and confidently said, "Don't worry Winter, Weiss will be fine. I'll make sure of it."

Winter blushed while slowly laying Weiss on the ground. Magna brought his hand right hand above her scar and took a a deep breath. Channeling as much aura as the Yang sun-seal could manage, Magna quickly forced the aura into Weiss.

However, her scar didn't heal. He grit his teeth as his eyes turned red, pumping more and more aura into her. Yet the result was the same. Her body was perfectly fine, actually, she was better than fine but the scar just didn't seem to heal.

Her eyes fluttered opened in confusion. Once she remembered what had just happened, she leapt backwards with tears gathering in her eyes as hoarsely screamed, "Stay away!!! Don't hurt me!!!"

Magna's heart dropped but he didn't show it on is face as he gently embraced Weiss and whispered, "Shhhhh... it's okay Weiss. Your safe now, I'm here…"

When Weiss registered Magna's voice, she stopped panicking as she tightly held Magna and cried. Her voice seemed to wake Whitley as he immediately jumped at Weiss, repeatedly apologising as tears and snot ran down his face.

Magna held both of them for a couple seconds before giving them to Willow, who cried tears of joy as she gave Magna a long kiss on the cheek. However, Magna's face was void of any embarrassment as he walked towards Steel with blazing red eyes as he demanded, "WHAT DID SHE DO TO WEISS!?!"

Steel narrowed his eyes for a second before slowly letting out a sigh, "It's her semblance. Anything she cuts can't be healed. Not even she can reverse it."

Now, this was exactly what Magna DIDN'T want to hear. He turned towards the group of faunus and slowly made his way over, only to be stopped by Ironwood as he sternly asked, "What are going to do Magna?"

Magna didn't even turn back as his eyes stayed focused on the group of unconscious faunus, "I'm going to kill those bastards."

Just as Ironwood and Steel were about to move, both found themselves stuck in place. With a dark look that sent chills down both men's spine, Willow said, "So she can't be healed no matter what? Well, I WAS going to wait for them to be tried in a court of law but seeing as the scar won't heal…"

Turning towards Magna, Willow gave him a small nod as she continued, "I no longer feel the need to do this the 'right' way. Magna, please make them suffer."

Seeing her like this, Magna softly smiled as Kurama whispered in his head, [What a woman…]

Just as Magna was about to walk forward, a person appeared before him, standing infront of him with their arms wide open. A deep frown appeared on Magna's face as he said, "Move."

The little cat girl trembled but stood her ground as she shakily said, "N-no… please don't-"

Before she could finish, a furious aura burst out from Magna's body as he roared, "I SAID MOVE!!!"

The building trembled as Magna's aura continued to grow, feeding off the negative emotions flowing in the air. However, the cat girl didn't back down even though tears poured from her eyes.

"P-Please… you don't have to kill them… I know they made a mistake but that doesn't mean they need to die."

Both Magna and Willow contemplated the little girls words. It was true that they may have… overreacted a little bit but at the same time, they attacked and permanently wounded Weiss.

Magna gave Willow a glance as he said, "What do you think Willow? Weiss is your daughter so do you want to be the 'bigger man' and walk away?"

Willow fell into deep thought for a good five minutes before releasing a long and annoyed sigh. With a wave of her hand, Ironwood and Steel found themselves free as she calmly stated, "Ironwood, take them away before I change my mind."

Both Ironwood and Steel were now profoundly scared of Willow as Ironwood quietly made his soldiers take the faunus away before making himself scarce. Steel was, of course, taken with the other faunus as he would rather await a jail sentence than face Willow.

The little cat girl collapsed to hers knees as she sighed in relief. Magna, giving the girl a curious look as she looked vaguely familiar, said, "By the way, I never got your name. I'm Magna, Magna Opus. What about you?"

The little cat girl smiled as she slowly stood up and said, "I'm Blake, Blake Belladonna."
