  The ride ride to Anima take up most of the daylight and it left Miles in the mercy of his own thoughts.

  Which thankfully isn't as depressing as the ride to Bea was.

  Miles used his time wisely as he is thinking of ways that he could use to bond with his son.

  It ranges from swimming to even taking a hike, Miles is a little flicted on what he should do with Jau he have a better idea.

  That idea is to ask Mordred..... Yes... Mordred.. his infamous rebellious Daughter that would prefer start a fight with him rather than sit down and talk with him.

  Not that he bme her for that... he deserved at least that sidering that Jaune Five him... Miles feels unworthy of it... at least with Mordred Being angry in Jaune's stead then Miles could accept it..

  Mordred... she... Miles doesn't hate her... Miles doesn't want to py favorites, But if he does py favorites then his Favorites would undoubtedly be Mordred.

  His children may not know it but Mordred is much Like Miles himself when he was younger... brash.. foul-mouthed... Aggressive... Rebellious... and a whole load of other things..

  The only reason he ged is because Luhat attitude out of him...

  Mordred.... Miles doesn't think that Mordred hated him.... She's just angry at him.... she fight with him because she cares for her little brother...

  Years ago Miles always thought that the ohat would be closest to Jaune is either Jeanne or Saphron...

  But after what he had done.... he is thankful that it is Mordred that bee the person closest to Jaune.

  He is thankful both for Jaune and for Mordred, as for why? Mordred isn't that close with her sisters because of her harsh personality.

  Does she cares for her sisters and would fight for them? Yes.

  Does her sisters cared for her? Yes.

  But they aren't that close... and when she bee a lot more closer to Jaune, she had... mellowed out... Jaune could trol her fmes.. there are many times he feel Mordred is about to go berserk on him for not answering to Jaune whenever Jauried talking to him.

  But Jaune calmed her down... with a single look or even just a hand on her shoulder.. he calmed her down..

  Jaune and Mordred both Banced each other out, Mordred with her making sure no oake advantage of Jaune kindness and Jaune making sure that Mordred's anger won't take over her and calming her down...

  They... Miles always had a feeling that Mordred and Jaune is hiding something... as for how he knows? He had been a hunter for fug... 19 years now.. well teically 22 years if you include the time he was in Bea...

  But would he try and pry into those secrets? No... its the least he could do... Mordred and Jaune's Bonds isn't something that he should try and disrupt...

  And that bond is why Miles will ask Mordred's opinion and suggestion about where he should go with Jaune..

  He oalk to Luna about what she knows about Jaune and her answer is somethih expected and not expected at the same time.. she told him about Jaune favorite foods.. his favorite music.. anything that a mother knows about her child... and what Miles didn't expect is that Jaune is Gone for most of the day from school and after that with Mordred... but she knows that it's not something bad sidering that whenever she goes to town, everyohere is asking her about how Jaune or sometimes even giving her gifts t to Jaune.

  it turns out that Jaune is the town's golden boy.. and when she asked around, everyone would say that Jaune is so kind and would help everyoh anything... from helping with the groceries to even painting the fences..

  As for Mordred? Well it turns out that Jaune dragged her every where with him helping around the town... the town love the dynamic duo... the grumpy older sister and the loving little brother.

  'So here's the pn... go meet up with qrow, find anbar, retrieve anbar, go home, sleep, wake up, talk to Mordred, go with Jaune.' Miles thinks to himself and in his opinion... that's a damn good pn.. aer pn that what he usually have.. sidering that he is more of a pn on the go kind of guy.... Luna isn't fond of that sidering that he had his ass beaten by her so many times cause they sometimes almost end up dying cause of his pn and the only reason they survived is because of Luna's Sembnd his frankly good sword skills and luck.

  Miles thehe bullhead nd and and raised an eyebrow. "Damn.. time flies by really fast when you're thinking..." he then look at his watd sees the time. ".....8 pm... a 7 hours flight... that's fast... would take the whole day if I took a ercial bullhead to mistral."

  Miles then walk to the door as it open with a hiss. "Thank you, my friend! Have a safe flight!" Miles thahe pilot and the pilot him.

  "You too Miles! Godspeed!"

  When Miles get off the bullhead, it then immediately take off and fly away. "Okay... so where is Qrow? Last I got updated about his location was that he is at a bar... and that was 3 ho... way to fug early for ao go to any bar.."

  Miles sighs and shake his head before he walk into the city and starts to look around. "If my memory is correct.. the bar would be in this dire..."

  As for where the bar is and how would Miles Knows about it sidering that Miles doesn't drink alcohol? Well it is the bar where Qrow had drink himself into the hospital after the death of Summer.. the poor fuck...

  It took Miles about 30 minutes before he found the bar... its not a pretty sight to say the least... the sign is on its dying days.. there are a passed out bastard on the side of the entrance.. some blood on the pavement.. and a even a couple of teeth...

  "*sigh*... well here goes nothing." Miles then push operand move his head back as he smell the stench of alcohol. "Shit... fug hate the smell of that..."

  Miles then force himself to walk deeper into the bar and thank God that he sees Qrow's Back... cause if he isn't here then Miles don't know what Bar Qrow would be in.. he doesly have the map for every bar here in mistral.. well now that he thinks about it, Qrow would probably have that map ingrained in his brain.. the only reason Qrow doesn't have a beer belly or a fucked up Liver is because of his activities as a hunter... trary to how Qrow looked, he is currently the most Active Hunter... from his missions from Ozpin though and the fact that those missions could go for weeks or even months depending on it...

  "Qrow." Miles call out to Qrow as he take a sit on the empty seat beside him.

  "Miles." Qrow Greet back before he down a shot of alcohol which if Miles would had guess to be vodka..

  "So... how's life? And really... yoing to drink knowing what we're about to do?" Miles smirked at Qrow because he is happy seeing an old friend again, sidering that Miles's own team of four had bee two before their time at bea even ended.

  The team broke up not because of the fact that any of them had died or is severely injured... its just that they don't get along well with each other and rather they split up rather than fighting with each other in the middle of a mission... they don't talk anymore but Miles knows from grapevihat they are still Alive..

  "Knowing what we're about to do is a hell of a good reason to drink." Qrow let our a pessimistic chuckled and refill his own shot gss with a bottle of vodka that Miles is sure belong to someone else sidering the state of the guy seating beside Qrow.. the poor fuck is knocked out with a bruise on his face. "To be ho, I don't have a good feeling about this fucked up mission... knowing my bad luck, it would most likely end with a fight or some shit."

  "As for life? Well I am pnning to take a break from Ozpin..." Qrow then take another shot of alcohol. "Damn, this shit hits like a bull.."

  Miles raised an eyebrow at that. "You? Taking a break from Ozpin? What you're pnning to do?" Miles is genuinely suprised and happy that Qrow is taking a break... he deserve it for all the shit had had done and gohrough.

  Qrow let out a hummed and raised the shot gss and peer into it. "...well my oldest niece, Yang, is about to start her training at signal.... so I'm pnning to be a bat teacher there..."

  If anybody expect Miles to scoff and Laugh at Qrow then they are stupid, because Miles is genuinely happy that Qrow finally could take a break from all of this bullshit. "You? A teacher? That would be good... you could prepare the geion to survive.. and as a bat teacher? The kid you trained would be absolute monsters by the time they got into hunter academy."

  Qrow let out another chuckle and refill his shot gss and raise it up. "To being a good teacher." He drink drink it before he grab another empty shot gss and slide it in front of Miles and fill it. "Here, drink up for my new job."

  Miles look at the gss before he shakes his head. "... no.. I'm sorry Qrow, but you know that I have been 17 years sober... st time I went out to grab a couple of drinks.. it didn't end well for me.."

  Qrows start to feel guilty because he is too drunk to remember about it. "Shit.. sorry Miles.. I genuinely fot about here... *sigh* I'm suck a fuck up... I think I have enough drink for now."

  "Hey, it's okay... you're drunk right now and it is expected that you would fot about a couple of shit.." Miles pat the back of Qrow's shoulder.

  "So... you got any idea about where to find her?" Qrow g Miles and asked him that because by now, Qrow doesn't know where the fuck the Fall Maiden could be.. for all he knows she be ontop of a fug mountain alone inside of a cave.. or in multiple pces at the same time... one limb in ats, another limb in vacuo so on and so forth.. damhinks that his thought had gone one a darker path.. probably the alcohol talking.

  Miles nod at Qrow. "Yeah... I think I have an Idea of where she could be at... you know what's tomorrht?"

  Qrow tilt his head to the side. "Tomorrow? Well that would be Friday... or is it Thursday.. shit.. what day is it again?"

  Miles ugh softly and shake his head. "Today is Monday.. and tomorrow is the... Anni... anniversary of my..... of my father's....."

  'Shit.... fuck me....' Qrow thinks to himself. "So.... you think She's going to be there?"

  Miles him. "Yeah... she loved him too much to not be there now.. and I.... I have a feeling that her time as a Maiden is going to end.. She's really old now.."

  "Well shit.. we best hurry up then..." Qrow then stand up and Miles quickly follow suit.

  "Yeah.. if we go fast enough, we could arrive there before dawn at most."

  It's safe to say that MILES IS NEVER LETTING QROW FLY A BULLHEAD AGAIN!

  "MOVE! MOVE DUMBASS! MOVE!" Miles shouted as he g to his seat.

  "I'M FUG TRYING!!!" And by trying, heeant that he is doing a barrel roll midair.

  "AAAAAAH" "AAAAAAAAAH"

  "How the fuck did we lost a thruster?!" Miles looks out of the window and see a couple of Lancer Grimm perched up on the ehruster and is stabbing it with their pincers.

  "Shit! We got a Lancer on the engine!" Miles shouted at Qrow and Qrow's eyes widen in panicked.

  "The fueant by Lancer!? We're too high for them!" Qrow is trying his best to steer the bullhead with only his right ehruster. "Do something!? Like I don't fug know!? Kill those fuckers!"

  "Are you dumb!? You think imma go out when we are this high off the ground!?" Even if Miles is pining about the height, he still take off his seat belt and grab a rope.

  "Don't you fug make me fall of!" He tie one end of the rope to Qrow's seat before he tie the other end around his own body.

  "Open the side door!" Qrow quickly open the side door just in time for Miles to run and jump out of it with his greatsword.

  Miles got smmed into the side of the bullhead with a loud crash. "Shit!" If not for the rope he would probably fall and die by now.

  But Miles doesn't have enough time tret his decision because he had to Stab his greatsword into the bullhead and move himself to the top of it just in time to dodge a couple of pincers as the Lancer had focus on him now rather than the ehruster.

  'Why the fuck do I don't have any gun? Oh yeah, because I SUCK AT IT!' Miles tried his best to stand on his feet but the winds is much to for him cause it'll just blow him away.

  So Miles has to improvise by stabbing his sword on the roof of the bullhead and use it as a support.

  "Hey! I'm over here!" Miles fre his Aura to aggro the Grimms and it works as it slowly but surely used their pio crawl to him.

  Miles smirked as he sees that the bullhead is flying much too fast for the Lao use their wings because it'll just blow them away.

  'Okay.. they 't fly.. that's good.. but I 't exactly use my sword now cause the wind would blow me away... I really should had gotten a gun because this is stupid.'

  "QROW! PREPARE YOURSELF!" He hoped that Qrow hear hik because he is going to do something really stupid.

  Miles reato his pocket and pull out a couple of fire dust. "Try chewing on this you bugs!" He throw the dust to the Lancer and it hit one of them managing to explode its upper body off but that also meant that it fug rocked the bullhead. "Shit!"

  "MILES! THE FUCK DID YOU DO!" Miles hear Qrow's Faint scream, Miles want to reply to Qrow but he is currently to busy holding on for dear life.

  'One more to go!' Miles thehe rope start to creaking ahat the shrapnel from the grimm's skull had slice through the rope's side, its not even a 1 inches slice but it's enough to make the rope Snap.

  "SHIT!" Miles got blown away by the wind because the rope isn't supp him or his sword anymore, thankfully with his sword in his hand he could do what he does best...

  Hunt.

  "SCREEEEECH!" The grimm screech as it use its pio Stab Miles who is flying to it but Miles is faster that it because by the time it had raised its pincers, Miles had cut it into two before he stabbed into the roof of thr bullhead to stop himself.

  "Holy shit....." Miles starts to pants.. not out of exhaustion but out of the fact that he almost fall down from this fug height.. they are abive the clouds now.. holy shit...

  He then slowly used his sword to crawl into the side door a inside before he quickly shut the door and crumpled to the floor.

  "I ain't fug doing that again..." Miles the out a sigh as he hear Qrow Laughs outlook.

  "HAHAHHAHAHA You crazy Bastard! How the fuck did you survived?! I thought I lost you when the rope snapped!" Qrow looks back at Miles but he quickly put his eye on his front because the bullhead start to tilt. "SHIT!"

  "Hands on the fug wheel!" Miles quickly get back to his seat and put on the seatbelt.

  "I know! I know!" Qrow then sighs. "Shit.. we won't make it."

  Miles let out a sigh. "I guess so.. we lost an engine and the bullhead is all fucked up... you nd it in shade academy?"

  Qrow then nodded. "Yeah, I could... but after that we go on foot either gotta borrow a vehicle from Theodore... don't think he would be happy with us basically dumping a useless bullhead on his front yard.. "

  "Yeah....." Miles then chuckled. "'t believe I didn't fall off..."

  Qrow joined him with a smile on his face. "Yeah.. and what was the explosion? I almost lost trol of the bullhead, did the cerations fucked up the other thruster? I didn't got any notification on the trol panel."

  Miles shakes his head before he expin. "Nah.. that was just me throwing a fire dust at the Grimm."

  Qrow's eyes bee wide open before he look at Miles. "You're one crazy bastard you know that? No wonder Luna likes to beat some senses into you..."

  "I know... I know... but hey.. I mao charm Luna with my dumbassery... I call that a win in my book."

  "Touche."

  [AN: Before anyone ask about why does it looks Like Miles is scared/struggling against a couple of pincers... he's a God damn S rank fod's sake, he could beat those grimms with only one hand.. the problem is that he is on top of a flying bullhead high above the clouds... he is afraid of falling... could he survive falling from that height? Yeah but with severe injuries... they are higher than the fug clouds to avoid dete and grimms both... the height is much more of a problem than the grimm
