Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be getting into Naruto and seeing what he's been doing, along with encountering his first villain. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

Naruto sighed as he laid down on his bedroll in an abandoned building, with his appearance obscured by shadows, in the less populated area of the City of Mantle. This is where he's been staying, since arriving in Mantle, and after crashing the Schnee Party and making his debut as Venom. The latter of which happened nearly a week ago.

'Making it also nearly three weeks since this happened.' Naruto thought, looking at his arm as it was covered in his symbiote.

*Flashback*

"Where are we?"

Naruto looked around in confusion, wondering where he is and why he's referring himself as "we", before finding himself hanging upside from a building. Though his eyes widened, when he caught sight of his reflection in the windows. Only it wasn't him, it was some…black humanoid creature, with a white spider symbol on its chest.

Looking up, or down, Naruto saw he was hanging from a web, with his hands holding the web and his feet pressed against each other. Moving himself right side up, Naruto let go of the web, and was surprised, when he instinctively stuck to the windows.

"What is this?" Naruto said, looking at his reflection in shock and fear, as the creatures mouth moved to mimic his words, showing it was indeed him

'Is this…that Grimm that attacked us? We can, we can still feel our body, this thing…it's a suit.' Naruto thought, while looking at his arm, as his shock and fear began fading.

"We feel…wow…this feels good." Said Naruto, as he began feeling the power that the suit was giving him, everything around him seemed brighter, more focused, he felt like he could lift a building, or knock one down.

Laughing to himself, Naruto removed his hands from the window, and saw he was still sticking to the window. Slowly, Naruto stood up straight on the side of the building, before his body tensed up. Then, without warning, Naruto front flipped on the window, first on his hands, then landing on his feet, before kicking off the building.

"YEAH!" Naruto shouted, as he flipped through the air, before turning around and once again instinctually shot a web out from his hand, and swung it through the air.

When Naruto reached the height of his swing, he released the web and flew high up, landing on top of a building, sticking to one of the lights at the top. With the blonde taking in the view, as he realized he was in Mantle.

Leaning against the light, Naruto looked at his suit, with an amazed smile.

"This is something else." Naruto said, his earlier fear now completely gone, replaced by the amazement at the power he gained from the suit

*End Flashback*

Naruto was pulled from his musing, when he heard noise from outside the building.

Peeking out the window, Naruto frowned, when he saw a construction team heading towards the building he's staying at.

'Guess it's time to find a new place.' Naruto thought, while going over and began packing away what little he had, in a duffle bag.

Once he had everything, Naruto immediately vanished in a cloud of blue smoke, with a distinct *BAMF* sound.

Naruto then reappeared on top of a skyscraper, overlooking Mantle.

'Well, at least as far as Semblances go, I got one that compliments my other abilities.' Naruto thought, glad he had a Semblance that he could use in conjunction with his spider powers.

He had unlocked his Semblance after falling into the Grimm Pit, and accidently discovered it, after regaining control of his mind and body. Naruto having discovered that he could teleport anywhere he's been to, anywhere in his line of sight, or anywhere he could think of.

Of course, this was only after a lot of trial and error, some of which would have ended rather painfully, if not for his suit.

'Now, to find a new place.' Naruto thought, as his suit once again covered his body.

Though this time, it wasn't the bulky and monstrous version he was in, when he attacked the Schnee party. Now it was a more form-fitting suit, with black and white shoes, bagging black pants with white lining, and a white belt. While having a skintight long-sleeved black shirt, with the white spider symbol placed on his lower abdomen, with the legs reaching behind his back, to the symbol there, and spreading up his chest and down his arms. There are white squares on the back of his hands, white fingers with black web designs, a mask with the same jagged white lenses, and a black hood with a white interior and web design.

Naruto figured that it'd be good to have a smaller form, while wearing the suit, rather than always being the monstrous form. So, he created this version, which would help him get around faster, and be harder to hit.

With that, Naruto jumped off the building, and shot out a web, as he began swinging through Mantle, looking for a new place he could stay in. One that'd hopefully be more long term, at least until he finally deals with Jacques Schnee and the other corrupt members of the SDC.

After some time, Naruto soon found an empty warehouse, checking inside and around, to make sure it was really empty, and he didn't have to worry of anyone finding him. When he was sure it was empty, and no would come snooping around, Naruto entered through a hatch on the roof, dropping his bag on an elevated platform.

Once he got everything set up, Naruto sat down and closed his eyes.

*Mindscape*

Opening his eyes, Naruto found himself in his mindscape, which was no longer a sewer, thankfully.

Now it had the appearance of a giant cave, with equally large spider webs around it.

Naruto saw he had appeared right in front of Kurama's prison, with the fox laying down inside it. While off to the side, he could see Venom, looking more like a person wearing a regular black and white costume, sticking to the wall, looking at him when he appeared.

Venom's appearance, was due to the fact that Naruto's fusion with the Spider Grimm wasn't perfect, or complete. It was why Naruto referred to himself as "We" rather than "I" when he's Venom, since it's technically two beings in control. Thankfully, he's learned to control it in his human form, so he doesn't get any looks at referring to himself, plurally.

"How are you feeling?" Naruto asked, while looking at Venom, as it crawled up the wall, before jumping off and landing on the tip of a stalagmite, before its mask receded, revealing a face identical to Naruto's, except with spiky black hair, pale skin, as well as black and red eyes.

"We are fine, for now. We still feel our strength fading away, slowly, with each day. It will not belong, until we vanish completely, once the merge is complete." Said Venom, not looking that worried, that it will eventually vanish completely, with Naruto nodding, knowing what it meant.

The three of them had speculated that the fusion of Naruto and the symbiote would eventually complete itself, in time. With Venom having accepted this inevitability, as it still possessed the memories from when it was still the Grimm Spider, and how long it's been alive.

Plus, it wouldn't deny, that it felt nice to feel something outside of nothing, but anger and a desire for destruction. Venom will enjoy the time it has left, and assist its host.

Naruto also would enjoy the presence of his temporary tenant, given he couldn't really interact with anyone, besides Kurama and Venom.

"What about my Chakra, Kurama? Has that started returning?" Naruto asked, while turning to the fox, who nodded once.

"Yes, it's started returning slowly, ever since you arrived in Remnant. Merging with that suit helped to speed up the process a little, though it'll still be a while, before you're back to your old Chakra Reserve Levels. But before that happens, you should start working on your Chakra Control, since that was one of your main weaknesses, before losing your memories." Kurama said to its host.

Kurama had kept good on its promise to Asura, and would help Naruto, and would admit that the brats earned of a little of the Kyūbi's respect, with his recent actions.

Naruto nodded, while frowning about the part about his memories. He still hasn't recovered from his amnesia, at least not yet. At the moment, Naruto only remembers bits and pieces, along with what Kurama's told him, about his life in Konoha. And after hearing everything he went through, Naruto's honestly glad he's not there anymore, or really remembers it.

And while Naruto did know there were some people that he did care about there, and they cared about him. Naruto just couldn't bring himself to really care about them now, given he doesn't remember them, and only heard about them from Kurama. Even when, or if, he fully regains his memories, Naruto wasn't sure he'd care about them again, as they'd still just be people he's remembered, and heard about.

Plus, from what he's heard, the ones that genuinely cared about him were few and far between, the rest were at best acquaintances. While the rest of the village either saw him as a weapon to be used against their enemies, or as a demon and a monster. Granted, after his reveal, Naruto's sure a good number of people in Remnant saw him as a monster now, as well.

But unlike with Konoha, Naruto doesn't care who sees him as a monster in Remnant, because it was his choice. Naruto chose to become a monster, one that'll hunt down other monsters and make them feel fear. While the people of Konoha, they treated him poorly, and like a monster, for something he had no choice in.

It was the principle of the matter that was important, with the fact that it was Naruto's decision, this time around. Besides, when he became Venom and revealed himself, it wasn't so he could become Mr. Popular, or a hero, it was so that a corrupt company finally got what was coming to it.

"Okay, I'll start working on a training schedule, after I'm done in Atlas." Naruto replied, wanting to deal with the SDC, before they have a chance to cover up their crimes, and take Jacques Schnee down.

Whether it was by putting him in the ground, or in a cell, it didn't matter to Naruto.

*Real World*

Opening his eyes, Naruto stood up, as his costume transformed into regular street clothes.

'Well, let's see what I can find out.' Naruto thought, while running a hand through his now white hair.

That was another side affect from his dip into a Grimm Pit, his blonde hair was a stark white color, his lightly tanned skin was deathly pale, and his blue eyes were now purple, with black sclera. While his eyes could now unnerve people, who see them, Naruto could at least pass them off as a result of his Semblance.

He's just thankful, that the changes weren't too drastic. Along with being able to make it so he wouldn't be recognized, on the chance that those SDC workers gave the company leaders his description, so he could be hunted down. The only recognizable part are his whisker marks, which wouldn't be that helpful, since there have been Faunus with similar markings.

So, Naruto was safe to go outside, and not having to worry of being attacked, followed, or captured.

With that, Naruto exited his new home, after making sure no one saw him, and began walking through Mantle. Along with being thankful, that it was located in the Red Light District, with no worries of anyone coming to tear it down. Given how poorly kept, and neglected, this part of the city was.

Naruto soon entered a nearby bar, knowing they were good places to gather information.

Sitting down at the counter, Naruto looked around, and was thankful to see both humans and Faunus, while sensing no ill intent towards the Faunus patrons. The Uzumaki then spotted a newspaper, sitting on the counter near him.

Grabbing it, Naruto looked at the frontpage, and was surprised at what it said.

'Nicholas Schnee is coming out of retirement, to take over the position of CEO of the Schnee Dust Company.' Naruto thought, surprised at this, since he figured Jacques would have found some way to cover up what happened, with the help of his crooked friends on the SDC Board.

But it looks like they were cutting ties with him, to save their own skin.

Looking around the bar, Naruto could now pick parts of conversations, as the patrons talked about this new development.

"Great to see Nicholas back in control."

"Yeah, hopefully things will start getting better, with Jacques gone."

"I heard he's finally going to make a public appearance, after all these years, to officially announce his return."

Naruto frowned at what he heard, as while he could agree it's great that a good, honest man, like Nicholas Schnee, was retaking the SDC. As from what he's heard of Nicholas Schnee, he was a hundred times better than Jacques, and was the one who built a trustworthy, upstanding reputation for the SDC. That is, until Jacques took over and dragged that reputation through the mud.

'And something tells me, he won't just walk away, either.' Naruto thought, as he felt his Spider-Sense go off a little, telling him that something will happen during Nicholas's public appearance.

And whatever it is, he'll be there to stop it.

*With Adam*

Meanwhile, Adam paced around his office in the recently purchased center, where he and his White Fang allies are setting up. With it being large enough to house dozens of Faunus, while still having plenty of room to spare.

They had just arrived in Mantle, two days ago, and were in the process of setting up a center, where Faunus can come and stay. While the White Fang works on where they can bring them, to live safely.

Though after learning of the news, that Nicholas Schnee was retaking his position as CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, it made Adam seclude himself in his office.

"Tsk, it won't matter if he's in charge of the SDC. It won't matter who's in charge, as long as the corrupt members and elements still exist, then that company is still the same as it was, under Jacques." Adam said to seemingly himself, before he looked at a mirror and his reflection.

But while Adam currently had glowing white eyes, his reflection had his normal blue eyes, showing his "dark half" was in control and that he was talking with his "good half".

"True, the corrupt members are still around, along with everything else they're doing. But we at least know that Nicholas Schnee cares about all his workers, human and Faunus. While it's not much, at least it's a step in the right direction." His good half said, with Adam nodding reluctantly, having preferred it, if he could just level the SDC down to its foundations.

But with Nicholas back in charge, he knew that things would at least start getting better for the Faunus working there. That didn't mean he'll stop making plans for the SDC, they'll just have to change.

Exiting his office, Adam went down to the ground floor, where he saw his fellow White Fang members setting everything up.

"Blake, Ilia! Come here for a second!" Adam called out to his student and her friend, both of whom had joined him on the trip to Mantle.

At first, Ghira had been vehemently against letting his daughter and her friend go, especially with the purpose of why Adam was going. Even worse, if they'd somehow get lost, or worse, captured. But after some convincing from Blake and Kali, Ghira relented, with Adam swearing to look after them.

"Is there something you needed, Adam?" Blake asked her mentor, as she and Ilia ran up to him.

"There is. I wanted to ask that you both go to the rally event, where Nicholas Schnee will be appearing. I just need you to watch and observe, then report back to me, if anything happens." Adam said, wanting to have eyes on the event, to see what will happen.

As while it was being broadcasted to all the Kingdoms, they might miss something that they wouldn't have, if they were in person.

"Yeah, we can do that." Replied Blake.

"We won't fail you." Added Ilia, both the young girls eager for the chance to help.

"Good. But make sure to bring your weapons and uniforms, just in case anything happens. And make sure your faces are covered." Adam said, making sure that if something did happen, they could defend themselves, and hide their identities.

It also helped that the rally was being held in Mantle, since if it was in Atlas, he'd send more experienced members to observe it.

Nodding, Blake and Ilia went off to get their uniforms and weapons.

*Timeskip-Two Days*

Two days have passed, since the announcement of Nicholas Schnee's return as CEO of the Schnee Dust Company. With the rally event having now been set up within Mantle, so Nicholas could publicly announce it, himself, and the changes he'll be making to the SDC.

Every influential family and individual in Atlas had been invited, along with it being open to anyone else, from both Mantle and Atlas. Nicholas wanting to show that he wanted to unite everyone in both cities, rather than divide them.

The entire Schnee Family, minus Jacques, was present. With Willow standing with her three daughters, Winter, Weiss, and Wendy, and her son, Whitley. Wendy being her third child, being a year younger than Weiss, and a year old than Whitley. Wendy looked exactly like Weiss had, when she was younger, though kept her hair tied into pigtails and wearing a mix of white, black, and red, rather than the normal white and pale blue, like the rest of her family.

And while Willow was happy both at the fact, she could see all her children together again, ever since Winter left to join the Atlesian Military. And that her father was taking over the SDC again, she was also annoyed by something, as well.

That being ever since her father returned, Willow hasn't had been able to get a single drink. Nicholas having shown up, and removed nearly all the alcohol within the manor. Only keeping a few bottles, that'd be opened for special occasions, only.

Not only that, but her father had forbidden the servants from bringing her any wine, whiskey, or any alcoholic drinks. With Willow being annoyed at her father interfering in her life, like that, after being absent for so many years, aside from the rare visit.

Even worse, was that he's expecting her to "clean up her act" to one day take up the position of CEO. Something Willow hadn't wanted to begin with, but now she didn't have a choice in the matter.

'Well, at least they're happy to see their grandfather, again.' Willow thought, while looking at her children, glad that Weiss, Wendy and Whitley have been smiling more often, since Nicholas returned, she could even see that the normally serious and strict Winter was happier.

Just then, Willow heard the sound of a cane and footsteps approaching them, making the woman look and see her father.

He still looked the same, as the last time Willow saw him, long white hair and a white beard, wearing black dress shoes, matching black dress pants, a black button up shirt, as well as a bright red suit jacket, with a white trimming, and the Schnee Emblem on the back. And despite his advanced age and poor health, from his time in the Mantle mines during his youth, Nicholas still had strength in him.

"Grandpa/Grandfather!" Said Wendy and Whitley, as they went over to their grandfather, who smiled at his youngest grandchildren.

"Wendy, Whitley. It's good to see again. How are you both?" Nicholas asked.

"Great! Weiss has been helping me practice my singing." Wendy said, smiling brightly, having the same love of singing that Weiss did.

"I am doing fine, grandfather. My studies are coming along nicely, I'm progressing the most in mechanics and engineering." Whitley said proudly.

"Very good, both of you. Always keep practicing Wendy, to make sure you were better than you were before. And Whitley, remember that a body is only as strong as the mind, within it." Advised Nicholas, with the youngest two of the Schnee siblings nodding, as they approached their family.

"Weiss, Winter, you both look lovely just like your mother." Nicholas said, with Weiss and Winter smiling.

"Thank you, grandfather, it's nice to see you again." Said Weiss, with Winter nodding in agreement.

"It is, and while I am busy with my duties, if you ever require anything, I'll speak with General Ironwood for assistance." Winter said, having risen through the ranks quickly, and caught Ironwood's eye, who wanted to help Winter reach her full potential.

"Thank you, Winter, I'm sure that James and I will have much to speak about, in the coming years." Nicholas replied, before looking at his daughter.

"Willow, you look wonderful. Are you all enjoying the rally?" Nicholas asked, getting nods from his grandchildren, while Willow rolled her eyes.

"Yes, it's a lovely event father. It's just a shame there's hardly any refreshments." Said Willow, with Nicholas giving her a stern look.

"If you require a drink, there is water, and other such beverages, being provided." Nicholas said, having made sure that no wine was being served, to make sure his daughter stayed sober.

"Of course, I must've missed them." Stated Willow with a tense smile.

"Nick! Good to see you!" Someone said, getting the Schnee family's attention.

Looking, they saw it was Obadiah Stane, a member of the SDC Board of Directors, and his children, his daughter and eldest Whitney, who was the same age as Winter, and his young son Ezekiel or Zeke, who was the same age as Whitley.

"Obadiah, you as well." Said Nicholas, shaking Obadiah's hand, knowing he was one of the few members of the Board he could trust, given he's been on it since he first created the SDC.

"Glad to have you back, Nick. I tell you, the company's gone downhill since Jacques took over." Said Obadiah, with Nicholas glancing at his family to see Winter and Whitney talking, or Winter listening and rolling her eyes as Whitney talked, with Whitley and Zeke speaking, while Weiss and Wendy were asking their mother questions.

"Yes, but I'm hoping to fix that." Nicholas replied, knowing he had a lot of work to do, if he wanted to get the SDC back to what he made it.

"Good. But there's something else I need to tell you." Obadiah said seriously, as he leaned in, with Nicholas leaning in as well, knowing whatever it was, was likely meant to be a secret.

"A couple days ago, one of our labs was destroyed, with a scientist found dead. The security footage was destroyed as well, and beyond salvageable, whoever broke in, also stole an experimental flight suit and glider." Obadiah explained, with Nicholas narrowing his eyes at this.

"I'll look into it, after the rally." Said Nicholas, not liking the idea of Schnee Technology being in the hands of someone, who likely had less than kind intentions.

Obadiah nodded, before glancing behind him, and let out a quiet groan.

"Here come the hunters." Muttered Obadiah, with Nicholas looking and knew who Obadiah meant.

The Florences.

The Florence family had a rather dark history, given their war against the Borjans, the latter of whom used to have a monopoly on the Dust Trade, until the Schnees took over. While the Borjans were all, but wiped out, the Florence's were dwindled down to just a single family, and having their last, legitimate, business being the Florentina Corporation, which centered around machinery development.

The last members of the Florence family were the CEO of the Florentina Corporation, Azzurin Florence, his wife, Fleur Mirasoleil Florence, and their daughter, Natalia, who was the same age as Weiss. Natalia being a friend/associates of Weiss's as well, along with the two girls having a rivalry in wanting to see who would be the better Huntress.

Azzurin was an adult man, possessing the orange hair, which was common in his family, with it being pulled back into a ponytail, that fell between his shoulder blades, lightly tanned skin, and analytical green eyes. Wearing a typical dark orange business suit, with the Florence Emblem on the back.

Fleur was a beautiful woman, with the same orange hair as her husband, held up in a ponytail, and curls hanging in front of her face, with pale skin, and dark blue eyes. Her attire consisting of a high class dark blue dress, with gold trimming, as befitting of someone of her stature.

Finally, Natalia shared the same long orange hair as her parents, which was kept straight, with it fading into gold near the back of her head, pale skin, and emerald green eyes. While wearing a gold dress, that faded to orange at the bottom.

The Florence family approached them, as Natalia went over to Weiss, while Fleur exchanged nods with Willow.

"Nicholas, good to see you're returning." Azzurin said, as they shook hands.

"Azzurin. Good to be back, and glad to see you are good health. I was actually hoping to speak with you after the rally. To discuss a shared venture between the Schnee Dust Company and the Florentina Corporation." Nicholas said, with Azzurin narrowing his eyes, slightly.

"You are aware that my family no longer goes near the Dust Trade." Stated Azzurin, given the last, and only, time his family tried entering the Dust Trade, it resulted in their current reputation.

"Yes. But I meant in other areas, where we could both benefit." Nicholas said, with Azzurin looking to think it over, before nodding.

"Alright, we'll speak after the rally, to discuss this deal." Replied Azzurin, with Nicholas nodding at his words, before Azzurin and his wife had left with their daughter, to mingle with the other guests.

"You sure it's a good idea to work with the Florences?" Obadiah asked, knowing that a man like Azzurin Florence could be a great ally to have.

But one would also have to be careful around him, since he could just as easily shake your hand, while holding a knife in the other, waiting for the right moment to slit your throat.

"I'm aware of the risks. But I prefer keeping my potential enemies close, to know what they're planning." Said Nicholas, knowing Azzurin could be an ally or an enemy, while Obadiah chuckled at his words.

"Like I said, it's good having you back." Obadiah said, before he and his children left.

After that, it wasn't long, until it came time for Nicholas to address the guests, as he went down to a stage on the ground. Once there, Nicholas looked up at a balcony, where he saw his family, Obadiah's, the Florence's, and the Board members.

Nodding to himself, Nicholas turned back to the gathered crowd, to make his announcements. Only to stop, when he heard a strange sound, and from peoples expressions, he wasn't the only one.

Looking around for the source of the sound, Nicholas soon looked up, and saw something flying through the air. The trail of smoke left behind it, showing it wasn't a Grimm, but was manmade.

'What in the name of the Brothers, is that?' Nicholas thought, narrowing his eyes, only for them to widen, when he saw it was a man riding a glider.

'The glider and the flight suit.' Thought Nicholas, realizing that this was the person who destroyed the lab, as the person flying the glider laughed loudly, and wickedly, before throwing something at the balcony, where everyone was standing

The moment the objects hit the wall, it detonated in a large explosion, making everyone scream in shock and panic. With the screams only increasing, when the person threw a second bomb at the balcony, causing it to break apart and knock everyone off balance, while sending rubble crashing to the ground.

Weiss screamed in shock, when part of the balcony she was standing on destabilizing, and started falling.

"AAAHH! MOTHER!" Weiss screamed in fear and panic, not moving, in case the balcony fell from any sudden movements.

"Weiss!" Screamed Willow, in fear for her daughters safety, while pushing Whitley and Wendy back, as Winter slowly edged towards where her sister was, only to immediately stop when the balcony fell further away.

Meanwhile, the attacked flew back around and held another bomb.

"Out am I?!" Shouted the stranger, throwing it at the Board members, revealing a fist size orange sphere, which flashed green, before releasing a bright light, with it revealing the Board members charred skeletons, when it vanished.

This only making everyone even more terrified at what was happening, with Weiss being the worse, as the balcony shook and destabilizing further. While Natalia broke free from her parents, and ran to the balcony's edge.

"Weiss! Grab my hand!" Natalia said, leaning over and reaching out for Weiss, with the Schnee shakily reaching out to grab her hand, only for them both to freeze, when they heard an engine over the edge.

Looking, the girls froze in fear, when they saw the stranger, and got a good look at them.

They were wearing a pure white armored suit, with a matching helmet shaped like a goblins face, with an open mouth, and red lenses glaring at the girls. They were also flying on a purple glider, shaped like a bat.

"Hello my dears." Said the White Goblin sinisterly, as Weiss screamed in fear that she was going to die.

"It's Venom!" Someone shouted, as Venom, in his less beastly form, swung onto the scene.

"Huh?" The Goblin said, looking, only to be met with Venom slamming his feet into his chest, knocking the Goblin off his glider, where he crashed into a tent, while the glider flew out of control.

Venom stuck to the wall, as he narrowed his eyes at the Goblin, wondering just where the hell he come from.

"Hold it right there!" One of the soldiers, shouted as they aimed their guns at the Goblin.

"I surrender!" Said the Goblin, holding his hands up, only to immediately shove one of them, sending them flying back.

The Goblin then punch another soldier in the chest, then in the head, knocking them down, before throwing another one away. The last one he punched out as well, before turning his attention to Nicholas.

"Nicholas Schnee! I have business with you!" Goblin said, pulling out another Pumpkin Bomb, and threw it at the man, with Nicholas's eyes widened at the bomb flying towards him.

Only to be relieved, when a web grabbed it, and launched the explosive into the air. While Venom jumped in front of Goblin.

"Okay you reject elf, let's dance." Said Venom, throwing a punch, only to be surprised when the Goblin caught it.

"Let's, you annoyance!" Goblin retorted, before giving his own punch, sending Venom flying back.

Grunting at the hit, Venom righted himself in the air, and launched a web at the Goblin, attaching it to his chest. Then with a yank, pulled the Goblin towards him, before clotheslining him.

Venom then looked at Nicholas Schnee, who looked at the scene with wide eyes.

"If you'd follow me, Mr. Schnee, we'll get you out of here." Said Venom, figuring Nicholas was the target, and needed to get him away.

With Nicholas nodded shakily, still in shock of everything that just happened, only for his eyes to widen, when he saw the Goblin flying back towards them, while firing bullets from guns built into the glider. Venom also sensed this, and turned around to intercept the Goblin, only to be surprised when someone beat him to it.

A girl his age struck the Goblin's glider with electrified whip, causing to spark wildly before veering off course. As another girl showed up, being joined by the first, and stood in front of Venom.

The first girl had long brown hair, tied in a ponytail, ending in a curve similar to a chameleons tail. And was wearing a Grimm Mask, with chameleon horns on it, to hide her identity. Her mask also points upward at the top, and extends past her hairline; this resembles the crest of a veiled chameleon. She wears a black, gray and dark gray sleeveless stealth suit, with short legs that resembles a playsuit, with black trim around the legs. The color divide is at the center of her thighs. The stealth suit's zipper is gold, and over it, she wears gray belt straps with gold buckles. She also wears simple black boots, with a cuff, and a black glove on her right hand.

While the second girl had long wavy black hair, falling loosely down her back, a pair of cat ears on top of her head, amber eyes, and fair skin, with a black face mask covering the lower part of her face. Her attire consisted of black, grey, and purple shoes, black formfitting pants that faded to purple at the bottom, a black long-sleeved shirt with a gold zigzag pattern on the front, and a black and gold scarf around her neck.

Blake and Ilia hadn't been sure what to expect, when they arrived at the rally, but some maniac suddenly flying in on a glider, followed by Venom showing up to fight him, certainly hadn't been something they expected. Though when they saw the Goblin go after Nicholas Schnee, the two had run to save him, knowing if he died, then Jacques Schnee would get control of the SDC again, and that couldn't happen.

So, the two girls had put their masks on, and jumped in to help.

"What're you two doing here?" Venom questioned warily, since they were obviously members of the White Fang, and he wasn't sure what their intentions were.

"We're here to help." Ilia said, with Blake nodding in agreement.

"We'll get Mr. Schnee to safety, while you deal with that flying lunatic." Said Blake, with Venom looking at where the Goblin was, before back at the two girls.

Though before he could respond, they heard a scream up on the balcony, looking they saw both Weiss and Natalia, after falling onto the ledge from the constant shaking, were trapped and would fall any second.

'Damn it!' Venom thought, knowing he had to save them.

"Go, help them. I trust these young ladies to get me to safety." Said Nicholas, wanting his granddaughter and her friend saved.

"Alright. Get him out of here, get him to the army or General Ironwood. Go!" Venom said, before shooting a web and swinging up.

Nodding, Blake and Ilia began guiding Nicholas through the chaos, searching for any Atlesian soldiers that weren't unconscious, or Ironwood, himself. Unfortunately, the two were stopped when five Atlesian Knights surrounded them, their visors now glowing red.

Knowing they were likely hacked, Blake quickly drew Gambol Shroud and shot three of the droids in the head, as Ilia drew Lighting Lash and wrapped it around one droids neck. Before with a swift tug, decapitated the robot, as Blake threw her cleaver sheathe at the last one, burying it in its chest.

Seeing the threat was taken care of, the two girls continued guiding Nicholas away, until they ran into Ironwood and a group of Atlesian soldiers.

"Mr. Schnee, are you alright?!" Ironwood questioned, with Nicholas nodding.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. But if not for Venom and these two, I likely would be dead by now." Replied Nicholas, as Ironwood looked at Blake and Ilia with narrowed eyes, recognizing their uniforms as part of the White Fang.

"If you both leave now, I'll ignore the fact that the White Fang was here." Said Ironwood, willing to give them a chance, after their help in saving Nicholas.

Nodding, Blake and Ilia quickly ran and left the rally, making their way back to the center to tell Adam what happened.

Meanwhile, Venom had swung back up to the balcony to save Weiss and Natalia. But just before he could reach them, the Goblin crashed into him, slamming the anti-hero into a window. With Weiss and Natalia screaming as glass fell around them.

Venom grunted in pain, as the Goblin smashed his head repeatedly into the window, before finally throwing his elbow back into the Goblin's face. Before swinging his arm into the mans neck, only to grunt in pain, when the Goblin punch him in the stomach.

Ducking under a swing from the Goblin, Venom got behind him, and tried grabbing him to throw him off the glider. Only to be elbowed in the stomach and face, before the Goblin knocked him off the glider, and onto the balcony.

Looking over the edge, Venom saw Weiss and Natalia struggling to hang on.

"Hold on, we'll get you!" Said Venom, not seeing the Goblin dislodge his glider from the window.

"Watch out!" Weiss shouted, seeing the Goblin about to shoot Venom.

Looking, Venom was surprised, when he saw tiny white Nevermore's attacking the Goblin, before seeing Winter with a Glyph in front of her, glaring at the Goblin.

"Get him, quick!" Winter said, wanting the Goblin, gone so they could save Weiss and Natalia.

Nodding, Venom flipped back and under the Goblin's glider, before shoving his fist into it, ripping out several wires. This caused the glider to short circuit, before flying off rapidly.

"We'll meet again, Venom!" The Goblin shouted as he flew away.

With the bad guy taken care, Venom looked back at the balcony, only to see it finally give out with Weiss and Natalia falling, much to their families' horror.

"Hold on!" Venom said, diving off the balcony.

Falling through the air, Venom first managed to grab hold of Natalia, before soon managing to grab Weiss, as well. With both girls safely in his grip, Venom shot a web up at the stable part of the balcony.

"It's okay, we got you both." Venom assured, as he began lowering them to the ground, as the crowd looked up and cheered.

*Patch*

"HA! See, I told you Venom was a hero, Yang!" Ruby said, smirking as they watched the events at the rally, with Yang rolling her eyes in exasperation.

"Yeah, yeah." Muttered Yang, while crossing her arms.

*Mantle*

The three soon reached the ground, with Weiss and Natalia relieved that they were still alive, and back on solid ground.

The girls' families soon came running over, with Willow and Fleur looking their daughters over, making sure they were okay, before hugging them tightly.

"I was so worried, I thought I would lose you. Thank you." Willow said, while looking at Venom, grateful that he saved Weiss.

"Thank you, for saving my daughter." Said Azzurin, with Venom nodding, glad he was able to save them.

Weiss and Natalia looked at their savior, thankful he showed up, when he did to deal with the White Goblin, and save their lives. It also gave them a new view of Venom, seeing him as more than a monster.

Though it was then that Ironwood and his soldiers walked up, with the generals eyes never leaving Venom. With the anti-hero doing the same with the general.

"The Lethal Protector. You have my thanks, both for helping save Nicholas Schnee, and taking care of…whatever that thing was. Along with helping to expose the corruption in the SDC." Ironwood said, willing to give Venom credit for the help he's given.

"General Ironwood, you were responsible for leading the raids on SDC property, and helping expose the corruption. We simply gave you the means to do so." Replied Venom, with Ironwood nodding at his words, both of them knowing they helped each other, even if unintentionally.

"Perhaps. But while you may have helped here, today. I'm still a military man, and charged with Atlas's safety, so you'll understand why I can't let you walk away." Said Ironwood, putting a hand on his holster, while Venom nodded.

"We know, so we won't walk away." Venom stated, before vanishing in a puff of blue smoke, surprising everyone.

"All of you spread out, and search the area." Ordered Ironwood, in case Venom was still nearby.

The soldiers saluted, before they began searching the area for Venom.

'Venom…thank you.' Thought Weiss and Natalia, as their families guided them away from the scene.

*With the White Goblin*

Meanwhile, the White Goblin flew to an old and forgotten property of the SDC, landing his glider on the stand, before getting off. Once off, the Goblin growled in anger, before removing his helmet, revealing Jacques, himself.

He wasn't worried about anyone finding his hideout. Having already done the necessary paperwork to erase any and all records of it, during his final days as CEO.

"Damn you, Venom, and those damn animals in the White Fang!" Jacques snarled, slamming his helmet down on a table, leaving a dent in it.

While his plan had been a partial success, in that he managed to kill those traitorous bastards on the board. He still failed to kill his father-in-law, both from the interference of Venom, and the White Fang.

'No matter, I'll have plenty of opportunities to reclaim my rightful place in the SDC. Along with making Venom and the White Fang pay for their interference.' Jacques mentally swore.

He already planned to kill Venom as well, now he'll make sure to crush that bug beneath his heel. Along with those worthless damn animals.

All of them, everyone who gets in his way will suffer the wrath of the White Goblin!

So, what did you think, good. Yep we see when Naruto first regained control of himself and saw the suit he was wearing, along with seeing he's also awakened his Semblance as well (Nightcrawler's teleportation). Then we get a look into his mindscape where we see Naruto and Venom are slowly merging together, until they'll eventually be one being entirely. Not only that, but Naruto is aware of his past with Kurama having told him, though this doesn't mean Naruto's going to go running off to find a way back to Konoha and in fact is glad he was no longer in the Elemental Nations, now living his life how he wants and make his own choices. We also see Naruto's physical appearance has changed as well from his fall into a Grimm Pit (which definitely won't help him when Salem comes after him), along with learning of Nicholas Schnee returning to the SDC, but knows something will happen when he does. Then it's a look at Adam and his own thoughts while conversing with his "good half" before sending Blake and Ilia to watch the rally and see what happens. Then it's off to the rally where we see the Schnee family, with the inclusion of a third daughter Wendy, and the introduction of Nicholas Schnee. Along with the inclusion of Obadiah Stane and his own children. Also the Florence family comes from Lightning-in-my-Hand's Fanon WoR called LUNA, if you want the full background they have a video on YouTube and a Deviantart page. Then we see the debut of the White Goblin killing the Board members and attempt to kill Nicholas, only for Venom to arrive and stop him, with some help from the disguised Blake and Ilia. Along with some help from Winter to get rid of the Goblin, before saving Weiss and Natalia. Finally a confrontation between Venom and Ironwood, with the anti-hero making his escape, while his actions having left quite the impression on those who saw him. Along with seeing White Goblin fleeing to his base where he reveals himself as Jacques, while swearing to deal with Venom and the White Fang for their interference. Now onto the Omake!

Omake: A Star is Born

Lee groaned as he woke up, his sight foggy, before he shook his head, and saw more clearly, that he was now in a medic tent with a relieved Sakura, and an older woman, looking at him.

"Lee!" Shouted Sakura, as she hugged him in relief, making the youthful boy blush, before he shook himself off from the embrace, and looked at his companion.

"While I'm glad to receive such a wonderful reception Sakura-chan, I must ask what happened, and why am I here?"

"Eh, don't you remember?" She asked, as he then started to remember how it all started.

After recovering, he was given a mission alongside Sakura and Shikamaru, to help recover a lost pet ferret, but in the process, they ended up assaulted by a literal Knight, who wielded some sort of strange power. Forcing him to release his weights to keep up, with it ending in a clash between his Dynamic Entry and the knight's glowing blade, causing an explosion that send them both falling down a ravine.

Then he and Temujin woke up, to find themselves in a moving caravan, led by Kahiko and Emina. Luckily, the ferret, Nerugui, had survived the fall, and had taken a liking to Temujin, much to the chagrin of Kahiko. Whom Lee discovered, is the person who ordered the mission.

Temujin left the caravan to return to his own party, with Lee in tow. Then at the cathedral, Temujin introduced Lee to a man named Master Haido, who informed them about the Gelel Stone, a mysterious powerful mineral that annihilated a lost clan, with Haido planning to get the stone, in order to create a utopia.

However upon receiving word that the invasion in Suna failed, Lee and Temujin headed to the beach, where Gaara defeated Ranke and Kamina fled, while Shikamaru and Sakura saved Kahiko from Fugai.

Temujin then recalled his past memory, before Shikamaru restrained him, and reunited with the others, with them interrogating Temujin. But he managed to escape, while taking Kahiko hostage, with them leaving the caravan, soon followed by the group.

*Flashback*

Eventually arriving at the Gelel Mine, Lee and his friends confronted Haido for sacrificing anyone in his way.

Then as Haido and Lee pursued Kahiko and Temujin below the platform elevator, Shikamaru, Sakura and Kankuro fought and defeated the now monstrous Kamina and Fugai.

At the Chamber of Sealing, Haido revealed to Temujin that he killed his parents, and soon afterwards, destroyed Temujin's stone, which was now revealed to be a fake.

But as Haido tried to use his power of the real one to kill him, the sacrificing soldiers arrive to save the repentant Temujin, while Lee unleashed the Gates to fight against the now transformed Haido.

But finally as Lee managed to use a Gelel enhanced Lotus to destroy the stone, and defeat Haido. He, Temujin and Kahiko discovered that the mine was losing control, which lead to Temujin using the Space-Time Hole to destroy the mine, with Lee trying to reach out for him-

*Flashback End*

"TEMUJIN! WHERE IS HE?!" Lee screamed, as he last recalled him being dragged into the Black Hole, trying to move only to be stopped by Sakura, due to his weakened status.

"I-Is he...?" Lee asked, having a feeling he knew the answer, but prayed that he was wrong.

"I-I don't know, honestly Lee...we have no idea to know where the black hole took him...but even so..." Sakura finished, with a shake of her head, as Lee hung his own down, crying, while cursing himself for still not being stronger enough to help another comrade.

*With Temujin*

But unknown to the group at the Caravan, Temujin didn't die, nor did he get crushed into a pulp thanks to, ironically, subconsciously absorbing the Gelel around him to reinforce his body, until he got out of the hole, and went forward, crashing onto a spaceship, a pirate ship, to be more precise, where he was found, and taken in, by its crew.

"What the hell is this boy made out of? In fact, where did he even came from?!" Gaped one of the pirates, as they took a hold of the unconscious knight.

"Who cares, but this armor, while dented, seems to be worth something. What you think, Boss?" Asked another, as they saw their leader, Yondu Udonta, a blue skinned alien, with red eyes, a mechanical red Mohawk, and wearing pirate clothing.

"Hmmm...for now, put him on the medical bay, but restrain him, just to make sure he doesn't try any funny business, and when he wakes up, tell me as soon as possible." He finally ordered, as his crewmen said "Aye Capt'n!" and did as told, all while Yondu was wondering what kind of omen would that boy bring to him and his crew.

Yep, Temujin has survived the destruction of the Gelel stones and now has been taken in by a certain blue-skinned alien pirate. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
