\So here it is. The last chapter of this story. It's been a wild ride and I've enjoyed making this story. Thank you all who have supported and read this story. I hope you all love this ending.


(Three weeks after Salem's death)

"So the Grimm inside of me is what again?" Mike asked as he stared at Oobleck who sighed in exasperation.

"Mr. Yacidian, the Grimm inside of you is a special case. It has formed from all of the negativity that has happened to you in the past nine years. The trigger to start its formation was the death of your entire clan, family and friends. The amount of negativity built up over the years you were alone and laid dormant once you met Mr. Arc. That negativity then ceased to grow because you started to feel happy again for the first time in a long time. But, after Ms. Xiao Long was injured, that negativity came back and almost reemerged. After this, your breakup with Ms. Xiao Long made the negativity break out until finally when you lost your companion Neopolitan, it came flooding out and manifested a physical form."

"Is there a simple answer?"

Oobleck shook his head and put a hand to his face.

"To put it simply, your inner Grimm came out because of how much negativity you've experienced in the past nine years. The Grimm inside of you is essentially a parasite that manifested its own conscience after being inside of you for so long. It learned by watching you, so it now has it's own desires and goals."

"Ok but Lie Ren went through almost the same thing I did when he was a child."

"Ah but you forget, he had Ms. Valkyrie there with him to stem that flow of negativity. You, however, did not have someone to help you through that pain. Mr. Ren did."

"Alright, so what's your advice on dealing with this?"

"Let it be. It seems to willing to cooperate with you so I would advise you not to try to remove it. The parasite could harm you if you try to do so."

Mike nodded and thanked Oobleck as he exited his office. Yang was waiting outside with an eyebrow raised.

"Good news I hope?" Yang asked as she tapped her foot.

"He said that I gotta deal with the annoying thing." Mike sighed as he scratched his head. Something black popped out of his shoulder, and it looked like a Grimm insect.

"Fuck off you cranky ass prick." The inner Grimm growled as Mike gave the Grimm a death glare.

"Hard for me to restrain myself not to tear you out of me. And you popping out of my body will not help that!"

The Grimm gave Mike a middle claw which continued to anger him further.

"Enough. Babe, you'll just have to deal with the little shit so don't worry about it. Don't lose your cool and he can't take over."

"Yea yea I know."

Yang smiled as she held his hand and led him toward the door.

"Sooooooo...Is there a bun in the oven?" Mike asked as the two made it to the exit and Yang gave him a sly smile.

"Yeep."

Mike smiled brightly as he gave Yang a deep kiss and held her tight.

"I swear to you and our unborn child; I'll always be there for you. I'll never make you go through the pain of being alone." Mike promised as he held Yang tighter.

"I'll hold you to that." Yang smiled as she rested her head on his chest.


(17 Years later)

"Victoria! Get up! You'll be late for your first day at Beacon!" Pyrrha yelled up to her daughter as she readied herself to leave with her children.

"Is dad already there mom?!" Victoria yelled back.

"Of course sweetie. Your father is the headmaster of Beacon so I would hope he'd be there. Where is Jaune Jr?"

"Right here, mom." Jaune Jr. stepped out from the bathroom with his father's old armor on and Crocea Mors strapped to his side. He stared back at his mother with his father's blue eyes and his red hair cut like Jaune's. Victoria came down shortly wearing Pyrrha's old armor but brandishing a new version of Milo and Akuo. Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, and her green eyes were just like her mothers.

"Ready mom." Victoria smiled while standing next to her little brother.

"Ready big sis?"

"Ready little bro." The two bumped fists as they left with their mother.

(Beacon)

"Slow down Thel!" Mike yelled to his son as he and Yang lagged behind him.

"Then move faster dad! This is my first day, and I don't like being late. Is Aunt Ruby teaching weaponsmithing?" The blonde-haired, green-eyed boy asked his parents.

"Yes Thel, now slow down before your father carries you to your first class." Yang threatened, making Thel roll his eyes.

"Alright alright." Thel moved back and stood between his parents. Mike smiled at him, rubbing his head, making his son groan.

"Dad quit it. We're in public."

"You're still my little boy no matter how old you get Thel."

The three made it to the entrance and were met with many familiar faces.

"Mike! Yang! It's been a while!" Sun walked up to the two with his arms wide for a hug. Blake lagged behind her husband as their son Goku followed them with his black monkey tail swishing around in excitement.

"Yep, it has Sun. Is that Goku? I haven't seen the little runt since he and Thel last sparred! He sure looks like the spitting image of you!" Mike joked as he and Sun laughed.

Blake walked up to Yang with a small smile and hugged her.

"Been a while huh partner?" Blake said as Yang shrugged her shoulders.

"Eh, it's only been a year. How's Goku doing?"

"He's ready. A little nervous but excited to see all of his friends again." Their conversation was interrupted as someone started to sing loudly.

"HAHAHA! I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!" A small girl that looked to be the spitting image of Nora hung from the statue that rested in front of Beacon.

"NO SIF! LIKE THIS!" Nora yelled to her daughter as she started to laugh and chant even louder. The mother-daughter duo Began to chant together while Ren and Li stood off to the side shaking their heads but still smiling.

"Will you dunces get down from there this instance!" Weiss yelled in unison with her daughter Crystal (Who looked exactly like Weiss but with shorter hair) as they summoned small Nevermore to beat the hammer-wielding duo off the statue.

"Weiss! Crystal! Calm down!" Neptune said futilely as his words couldn't reach his wife and daughter.

Pyrrha, Victoria and Jaune Jr. watched as the chaos unfolded. Pyrrha could only laugh at everything that was happening.

"Who's causing all this ruckus in front of my school?!" Jaune yelled jokingly as he walked towards all of his friends.

"I HAD TO SHOW SIF HOW TO BE QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!" Nora screamed as she smacked another ice Nevermore away from her.

"Nora, can you and Sif please get off the statue?"

"FINE! But only if pancakes are the only thing in the cafeteria!"

"There's a part of the cafeteria that is dedicated to breakfast food only."

"I ACCEPT! COME SIF! WE MUST DEVOUR IT ALL!" Nora declared as she and Sif sprinted toward the cafeteria.

"What have you done Jaune?" Ren said in horror as he ran after his wife and daughter. Li ran close behind his father in hot pursuit.

"Where's Ruby Jaune?" Yang asked as she tried to look for her sister.

"She's getting something special planned for the speech, so it's not so boring. Being the headmistress of Beacon and head weaponsmith takes a lot out of her."

"I bet. Ah, shit, Thel is getting into a fight with Goku again, can those two stop trying to kill each other everytime they see each other?!" Yang yelled in anger as her eyes turned red and stomped toward her son.

"Same old Yang." Jaune thought as he watched the brawler smack her son hard on the head.

"So hows the job been Jaune?" Mike asked with a smile as the two shook each other's hands.

"Busy, but I can't complain. Training the next generation feels like the right thing to do. What about you? Have you had any luck finding Hazel or Watts?"

"Unfortunately no. Every single time I think I got a solid lead, it goes nowhere."

"We'll just have to be ready for whatever storm comes then." Jaune said as Pyrrha walked up to him, kissing him.

"Ready for your first official day honey?"

Jaune looked over at all of his friends and didn't fail to notice a wall blow up at the cafeteria. Jaune remembered how this all started with a chance encounter in a bar when he was wallowing in despair. He smiled and nodded to his wife.

"Yes, I am."
