Setting: Team VRSZ Base
It was morning in Fortuna and the sun shined brightly. The sunlight glimmered through the window of Violet's room and the rays danced on her eyes causing her to wake up. Violet groaned in annoyance, slowly sat up in her bed, and rubbed her eyes to clear her vision. However, she came to realize something was amiss. Violet scanned her room, it was quiet and no one else was in it which was something she found odd.
"Where's Remus?" she said aloud.
Remus is usually the one who wakes her up every morning as her personal alarm, waking her up by getting in her personal space with his oblivious nature. She ceased trying to stop his intrusions long ago seeing as how he wasn't going to get the message and stop on his own. After some time, she actually grew accustomed to his visits, it was part of her normal day but today was different.
"Guess he's not coming today." Violet thought as she got out of bed and got ready for the day. Fully dressed, she walked downstairs to see the usual sight she sees every morning; Silver cooking breakfast with the other two sitting at the table looking hungry. Before she made it to the bottom of the stairs, Violet noticed something missing, there was no scent of food cooking, no eggs, toast or anything.
Silver anointed himself the team's chef whether he knew it or not. Violet was a very meticulous person before VRSZ. Her meals were just simple egg whites and toast, but Silver showed disgust when he learned that was her meal plan. Silver took it upon himself to cook real meals that everyone would enjoy. He told them that his previous work involved him cooking for others but he never really mentioned anything else. VRSZ agreed to intervals on who cooks but it proved ineffective because Silver kind of took complete control of the kitchen area, now he is the only one that cooks but the others aren't complaining, his food was mouth-watering.
Not only was there no food being cooked but there was no Remus or Silver or Zelts downstairs. The living room and the kitchen were completely vacant. She walked down the hallway where each of their rooms were but didn't see them in any of them, making Violet grow suspicious and made her realize how alone she was before her boys came along.
Violet couldn't understand why her boys weren't home yet. She remembered that yesterday Silver and Remus went out to an easy bounty mission because Silver was tired of eliminating Grimm and asked Remus to tag along. They were taking too long so Violet asked Zelts to find them and bring them back bounty or not, but that was yesterday and no one came back.
"What the hell is going on?" Violet said kind of hoping someone would answer. She went to the garage to get to her car and drive to Fortuna, the only other place the remaining members could be, unfortunately for Violet, her car was gone, she just remembered that Silver used it but never came back. This only made Violet's job all the more difficult as she was left with no other choice than to walk to Fortuna.
Setting: Moneta
This was a better place to start than anywhere else Violet concluded as she was making her way to Fortuna. If she was going to find her friends then Moneta is the place to find clues or ask Sterling if he saw them. She turned the corner to see not only Moneta but also her jeep which was empty except for several people who were standing around it. Violet quietly observed them for a while hoping they weren't thieves. Upon closer inspection, Violet could see that there were four of them and they were all girls but more importantly they didn't seem to be attempting any thievery, instead they seemed to be admiring or maybe fawning over her car. They seemed harmless if Violet judged them by appearance alone but she knew better than to make assumptions based on what a person looks like and she did notice that each of them were armed with different weapons so this could go either way.
"Uh, excuse me. What are you doing?" Violet asked trying to not to start a fight, not while she was looking for her missing team. The admiration of the car stopped when the girls looked at the source of the question. They were in stunned silence as each of them looked at Violet whom was a little freaked out but got a good look at each of them. If she had to guess, she would say they were younger than Remus, at least around thirteen or fourteen.
"OH MY GOSH! IT'S YOU, IT'S REALLY YOU!" one of the girls finally spoke with a big smile. The girl had pinkish red hair fashioned in bangs with pigtails and red eyes to match. She had a baby face and looked like the type that would be positive and bubbly all the time, the type Violet had a hard time dealing with. She wore a red shirt with a big black bow on her chest that made her look like a life-size doll and she sported a short red wrap skirt that would've been inappropriate if she wasn't wearing black leggings and basic black and white running shoes. If Violet had to choose one word to describe this girl, it would be cute, but the type of cute that made her seem unable to defend herself in any way. The girl was definitely the shortest of the group and most likely the youngest, however, Violet did notice she was wearing some kind of high-tech waist bag that reminded Violet of her ordinary that holds her Vorpal Swords. The question was what was this girl holding in the bag.
The second girl was silent but looked at Violet with the same fascination the other girls held. This girl was the tallest and the most physically fit out of the others. She had short green hair that reached down to her neck. She was wearing a dark green sports bra that showed of her tone physique that probably rivaled Violet's and she also had two different colored bandages wrapped around her hands, arms, and abdomen. The bandages on her left arm and abdomen were white and the bandages on her right arm were red. Around her waist seemed to be some kind of training gi she wasn't wearing but was still wrapped around her if she decided to put it on and beneath that were black fitness cargo pants. Unlike the other girls, she didn't have any weapons, nothing unconventional or hidden, just nothing but she did exert strength. The girl appeared to be the oldest so maybe she was playing babysitter.
The third girl reminded Violet of Turquoise which she didn't like but it was mostly in the hair. They both had blue hair and she had the same pixie cut hairstyle but this girl's hair was a much darker shade and her pixie cut was more shaggy and had longer flipped tresses that covered the left side of her face like a veil. Her outfit mainly consisted of a sleeveless denim jumpsuit that ended at her thighs, stockings that were black and pink in stripe pattern that reached to the bottom of her knees and a pair of worn blue sneakers to match. She wore some kind of shirt underneath the jumpsuit because Violet could clearly see the sleeves of a dark blue shirt and that it has a hood but that's all she could see. If cute was used to describe the first girl, then the word for this girl was tomboy. It could be seen in her appearance and demeanor. She was also wearing a pair of sleek armored gauntlets that looked like they were some kind of weapon.
The last girl was dressed in an outfit that seemed a little more practical compared to the others. She had honey colored hair fashioned in a bun with bangs. She wore a pair of black glasses over her yellow eyes, a dark yellow shirt with black buttons, tan jean shorts, and black tennis shoes. She was equipped with a some kind of high-tech but peculiar backpack similar to the first girl's waist bag and on her arms were high-tech arm guards that could be weapons as well. Out of all the girls this one seemed very reserved, expressing less emotion than the others and averting eye contact if Violet looked her way.
"You know who I am?" Violet asked after analyzing these girls who were still happy to see her and the red haired one was getting even more excited now that Violet was talking to her.
"Of course! Who doesn't know about VRSZ, you guys are famous!" she practically screamed and the others silently nodded in agreement. Violet had no idea what to do in this situation so she asked another question. "What are you doing to my car?" she asked nonthreatening seeing as the mean no harm.
The red haired girl was beginning to stutter so her green haired friend spoke in her place. "We've become admirers of yours every since we heard about how you were fighting Royal's men, something no one had the guts to do." Then the blue haired girl spoke next.
"And when we heard that you drove Royal out we wanted to become strong like you guys so we made our own team."
"Your own team?" Violet said surprised they want to fight at such a young age.
"Team CLSH!" the red haired one shouted loud enough for others outside of the conversation to hear.
"My name is Cerise Sanguine, this is Loden Take, Sapphire Velum, and Hazel Vespid." Cerise said about the green haired, blue haired and honey haired girl respectively.
"Nice to meet you all, but you never told me why you were at my car when my own tea-" Violet stopped remembering why she's here in the first place. "Dammit, where are they?" she grumbled to herself more than to the girls but they heard every word.
"Um..We..found your jeep here but..but no one was around so we thought there wouldn't be any harm at looking at it. We're very sorry." Hazel said submissively then bowed in apology while her friends didn't.
Violet sighed. "Don't worry it's alright. I actually came here to see why my team hasn't come back yet so the only ones who need to apologize are my boys." Violet said and the girls suddenly looked happy. "She said it, she said her boys." Cerise squealed making Violet feel uncomfortable. "Is it really that special?" she thought.
"Well it was nice meeting you girls. I hope we can meet again." Violet said before walking into Moneta and hearing the girls whisper and gossip. Violet felt overwhelmed talking to them because they were the one thing she never thought she had to deal with, fans. VRSZ's work has become well known in Fortuna but she didn't think it would inspire others to bear arms and try to be like them.
Violet entered Moneta and looked over to the main desk, the usual spot to find the building's proprietor, Sterling Vantablack. Moneta has changed in some ways after Royal's leave. There were more people accepting missions and not just low-life bounty hunters but respectable people trying to help for the better. Guess it was true that VRSZ inspired people. With Royal gone the criminal underground crumbled resulting in fewer bounty missions but no one was complaining but as crime was going down, for some reason, Grimm were being spotted more frequently which shouldn't be happening since everyone is actually more positive and exhibiting less negative emotions, something that attracts Grimm. Grimm were becoming more common but they haven't proven to be any real threat, yet.
Violet found Sterling at his desk like she always does. "Hello Miss Violet, how are you this fine day?" Sterling asked.
"Hi Sterling. I'm not really doing so well, I haven't seen my teammates since yesterday or this morning. Have you seen them?" Violet asked hoping he have all the answers like always.
"Really? I was hoping they were with you. I remember seeing Master Silver and Master Remus coming to take a bounty mission then leaving but that was all. Master Zelts came by a few hours later and asked me the same question then left when I told him who they were hunting." Sterling explained.
"Who were they after?" Violet asked. "I have a printed copy of the bounty right here." Sterling said as he shuffled through paper and presented the bounty to Violet.
Malinda the Alluring Viper: $4,000
The woman in the picture looked to be in her late teens or nearly twenties. She had long black hair that reached to her back and bright green eyes that was probably part of the reason she was given the nickname Viper. She wore a dark dress that looked more like a robe, it was very revealing and showed off her body If Violet were a boy, she might've thought she was attractive. It had a snake design along the leg and it looked like it reached to the back. She had manicured nails with purple paint on it. A fact she almost overlooked was that Malinda was a faunus. Violet could see it in her mouth, she had the fangs of a serpent and probably had a forked tongue.
"Someone like this shouldn't be a real problem for Silver or Remus. If I want to find them I better start by finding this lady." Violet thought to herself.
"Thank you Sterling, I really appreciate the help." Violet said politely.
"No problem Miss Violet and I hope you and your new friends find your team." Sterling said confusing Violet.
"New friends?" Violet repeated. Sterling looked over Violet's shoulder and Violet turned around to see what he was talking about. Behind her were the girls she met earlier, Team CLSH. "Hello" Cerise said and Violet shrieked in surprise.
Setting: Fortuna
In an unknown building in an unknown living room, Zelts was doing handstand push-ups shirtless while Silver was simply standing next to some kind of makeshift throne. The two of them were unusually silent except for Zelts's grunting from doing exercise. A door opened and Remus walked through it then held it open for someone else. Walking through the door was Malinda.
"Thank you precious." Malinda said sweetly as she petted his head and Remus closed his eyes and leaned into it. She walked to her chair with Remus following faithfully behind her. She stopped when she saw Zelts covered in sweat doing his physical activity.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about you, hmmmm" She contemplated whether or not to have him stop. She looked at Zelts's muscular body and purred internally. "Keep going." she commanded and Zelts continued as she took a seat on her throne with Remus at her side and Silver on the other. Malinda continued to scratch and pet Remus on the head until she heard groaning.
"Grr...rr..rrg...arrgh...grr." Silver said looking like he was in pain trying to think of something. Malinda ceased playing with Remus and gave Silver her full attention. "Now, now, it's okay. Calm down now."
"I'll...ge...t...y..ou..grr." Silver struggled to say before Malinda cupped his face with her hands and brought her face close to his to look him directly in the eyes.
"Shhh it's okay, there's no need to fight anymore. I'll keep you safe. Believe me Silver." when said this her green eyes flashed and changed to dark blue. "Vi...let..hel..p." Silver stopped his groaning and his eyes changed from the usual black to dark blue. Silver was something no one thought he could ever be, silent and obedient. Remus and Zelts also displayed the same dark blue eyes.
"There we go, all better." Malinda said then pressed her lips onto Silver's forehead then resumed to petting Remus. In her content she noticed how Silver said Violet's name. "Every now and then when I need to use Trance, they each mention that girl's name." Malinda thought as she looked at Remus who was smiling in bliss which made her smile as well but behind her smile was venom at the amount of influence one girl had on her new collection.
"Maybe we should pay her a visit." Malinda said parting her mouth revealing her fangs and a forked tongue that she used to lick her lips playfully.
