I'm back. And so far, only one review on the previous chapter. Ah well. Everyone has lives. Anyways, not much to say. Oh and the part where Ben was the one who said his story was intentional. Yang WILL tell her story...but to someone else. It's easy to guess who. Not Blake, Weiss or Ruby. So yeah.

Let's get to reading.


The other day...

"And finally, Pyrrha Nikos."

Emerald said to Cinder. The two girls, plus Mercury, are all in their dorm, discussing about the training and battles that happened in the theatre.

"Ah, the invincible girl." Cinder said, rather mockingly.

Mercury, turning away from his comic book, says, "She's smart. But I wouldn't say invincible."

Cinder, with a sinister smile, responded with, "Do tell.~"

"Her Semblance is Polarity. But you'd never know just by watching." Emerald said, until Mercury corrects her.

"After she made contact with that freaks metal head, she was able to move it around however she wanted... But she only made slight adjustments." Mercury said.

"Just enough to make it look like she's untouchable. She doesn't broadcast her powers so it puts her opponents at a disadvantage." Emerald continued.

Cinder, sewing her supposed clothes, got interested. "People assume she's fated for victory... when she's actually taking fate into her own hands. Interesting."

"Speaking of the freak..." Emerald suddenly said.

"There's someone more dangerous than Nikos." Mercury said.

Cinder immediately got even more interested.

Emerald tapped on her scroll and showed a picture of Ben and numerous videos of his transformations he used in his fight against Pyrrha.

"His name's Ben Tennyson. There's not much info about him. Apparently, he's a special student here." Emerald pointed out.

"He can use this weird watch of his that turns him into different monsters. And considering he's survived this long...I'm betting that the forms he showed...aren't his only forms." Mercury said.

Cinder's interested in Ben got even more intense. "He uses a watch to turn into monsters?"

Emerald nodded. "I'm willing to bet that he can easily wipe out the entire city. But there's just one problem."

"Hmm?" Cinder replied.

"He's powerful... but naive. Like, he probably doesn't even know what he can do and what the full extent of his powers can do." Emerald said.

"Pyrrha Nikos did beat him. He could've easily defeated, or even killed, her with that magnet form of his." Mercury added.

"But due to his lack of actual skill or intelligence, she beat him and caught him off guard." Emerald said.

"I see. So in the right hands, his device can make him unstoppable?" Cinder said.

Mercury replied with a smirk, "Probably not just unstoppable... You can even become a god."

Cinder smiled sinisterly.

"You plan to take his watch?" Emerald guessed.

"It's always been about taking away what power the enemy has...And we will...In time." Cinder replied cryptically.


Present day...

Inside the ballroom, streamers are hung through glass chandeliers, pink and blue balloons are everywhere, and students in dark suits and bright dresses are stepping with each other to the music between the white-clothed tables. Blake is spun around by Yang before they curtsey to one another, and Sun comes up and takes his date's hands as Yang gestures for him to do so. She goes to hang with Ruby, Ben and Weiss in the back of the room, watching Blake laugh and enjoy herself before smiling at her team.

Ruby is wearing a short red sleeveless dress. Both Weiss and Yang wore simple white dresses. Ben was in a black tuxedo with a green buttoned up shirt inside.

Ben crossed his arms. "I told you guys she would come."

"You used an alien to mind control her or something?" Yang asked, smirking.

"Nope. That's all her." Ben said. Of course it was a lie but...he didn't wanna ruin the mood.

"Then with that said, mission accomplished." Weiss replied.

"So what do we do now?" Ruby asked her teammates.

"Just have fun!" Yang said. Ben then offered his hand to Yang, which she takes as they head to the dance floor. Weiss then walks away in a different direction. Ruby was left alone, feeling awkward.

"Does that mean I can change out of these stupid things and into my hood now?" Ruby yelled.


Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai, two of Darkstar's allies, are now observing the students from the next tier.

"It appears all the dancers have partners." Emerald said through her ear bud.

"How long do we have?"

Mercury replied, "You two should probably be home by midnight, to be safe."

"We'll keep an eye on the clock."

Outside the CCT, two figures are walking towards the said building.

Cinder Fall, dressed as a cat burglar, and Darkstar, dressed in his usual attire and helmet, approaches an armed guard.

The guard, feeling that these two are hostile, aimed his gun at them.

"Sir. Ma'am. This place is off limits. So please turn around and..." Whatever the soldier was about to say was interrupted when Darkstar blasted him with his energy absorbing beam.

The guard felt all of his energy being sucked away by Darkstar and finally, fell unconscious.

Cinder scowled at Darkstar. "Was that necessary?"

Darkstar looked at her. It's hard to tell whether he's angry or not because of his helmet covering his entire head.

"You're right. A simple backhand would've worked. Now, why don't you do this your way then? After all, you seem to regard yourself as, what Black and Sustrai called you, superior." Darkstar replied with a hint of smugness in his tone.

Cinder's scowl remained as they both head inside the CCT.

Inside the building, Cinder and Darkstar approach more guards.

"Excuse me, no one's allowed in this area." One of them yelled.

Though Darkstar stopped walking, he only did so just so he could watch Cinder, who was still approaching the guards.

"Stop!" The soldier added.

The soldier opens fire when Cinder does not heed him. She manages to overpower him, using his gun to take out another approaching soldier. She then throws him against a handrail. Two more soldiers rush her wielding batons. Cinder flash-forges a pair of black blades from fire Dust and trounces them both.


Meanwhile, inside an elevator...

"Hey." Guard #1 said.

"Yeah?" Guard #2 asked.

"You ever wonder why we're here?" Guard #1 replied.

"To...guard the tower?" Guard #2 guessed.

The elevator door opens to show Cinder and Darkstar waiting. One of the guards notices the fallen men outside. Darkstar then blasted both of them with his energy absorption beams, using both hands. The two guards fall unconscious.

"Ladies first." Darkstar said, gesturing Cinder to enter. She teasingly slides her finger on the cheek of Darkstar's helmet as she casually walks onto the elevator. Darkstar followed her inside, the doors closing as they turned around.


After only a few seconds, the elevator doors open to show Cinder examining a scroll while Darkstar exits the elevator first . The two guards are knocked out.

"Oh! That's handy." Cinder said as she pockets the scroll and walks out of the elevator and toward the control consoles nearby. Darkstar took out some kind of book with multiple runes on it. This was a copy of Gwendolyn Tennyson's magic spell book.

"Hurry. We don't have much time." Darkstar said while reading a page on the book.

"Never rush a woman, Michael." Cinder said, not turning away from the console.

"A party guest is leaving." Emerald said through her ear bud.

Cinder sighed. Darkstar kept reading his book. "Which one?" Both of the them asked.

"Ironwood." Emerald responded.

"I guess the general's had enough fun for one night." Darkstar said, slamming his spell book shut.

As Cinder works on the consoles, random code began appearing on her computer screen, which then changed into a Queen chess piece.

Mercury, via ear bud, asked, "Should we intervene?"

The other monitors in the room light up.

Cinder smiled. "No... we're done here."

As they started to walk away, they noticed the elevator doors opening. Ruby steps out of the elevator slowly, brandishing her weapon.

Cinder hid behind some consoles whil Darkstar was still at plain sight.

"Hello, little girl. Are you lost?" Darkstar mockingly asked.

Ruby, however ignored his question and asked her own. "Why are you here at the CCT? The place is closed at this time at night."

Darkstar shook his head. "Naughty girl. You should never interfere with the business of grown ups."

Darkstar aimed his right hand at the floor Ruby was standing on and...

"Eterla Morbulous!" Darkstar chanted his magic spell, causing the floor beneath Ruby to crumble a little and made her stumble and fall on her rear.

Darkstar then turned around and began walking away. "Let's go, my lovely Fall." He said to Cinder, who just rose from her hiding spot and followed Darkstar.

Ruby finally managed to stand up and fired her Crescent Rose on the assailants. However, Cinder turned around just in time and deflected the shots using her Aura powered hand. She formed her swords back and fused them together, creating a bow. Cinder then summoned black arrows and fired them at Ruby, who managed to dodge the explosion of the arrows by jumping backwards.

Suddenly, the elevator door opens and Ironwood arrives at the scene. Ruby is happy to see him and looked back at her enemies to tell them they're in trouble. But now... they were gone!

"Oh man..." Ruby said.


"Abeo Exorior." Darkstar said his magic spell. He then vanished in thin air, leaving Cinder alone.

"Alright. I'm on my way back to the ballroom." Cinder said through her ear bud as she began transforming her suit into a long black dress.

"And Michael Morningstar?" Emerald asked through the ear bud.

"Teleported back to base. I appreciate his help." Cinder replied.

"He could teleport this whole time? Why didn't he just do that a while ago?" Mercury asked via ear bud.

"He told me that he can only teleport to runes that he made. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a rune inside the CCT." Cinder replied, entering the ballroom.

"So that's what he's been drawing in the base." Emerald said.

"It doesn't matter. Let's just...enjoy the rest of the night." Cinder replied as she nears her allies. As she does so, she smiles sinisterly.


Cinder finds out about the Omnitrix. Darkstar and Ben are both unaware of each other's presence in this alternae universe. And now, Darkstar has more power than ever with his book of spells! What would be the fate of team RWBBY? Find out next time!

Anyway that's it for now.

Okay. This edit is not supposed to be here but after I saw the review of Alpha Alchemist, I had to put this. Ben trains with the team on a regular basis when they have time. He's learned martial arts from Gwen (canonically) and Yang (in this story). He can fight even without the Omnitrix. And no. No weapons for Ben. Not yet anyway. And I literally mentioned the guy who guessed Ben's Semblance and I said he's right...Ugh. Not to be rude, but were you actually paying attention? Fine. I'll say it right now. Ben's semblance allows him to go Ultimate whenever he's transformed (and even Ultimate himself, but he hasn't figured it out yet). Yang unlocked his Aura while he unlocked his Semblance through anger (see Team RWBBY vs Roman in previous chapter).

Okay. I got that out of my system. Now for the other guy. Epicvictory2015, imma answer your questions. This is Ben after the events from Omniverse but wears his attire from Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. His Omnitrix is from Omniverse but his personality is a combined version of AF, UA and OV.

Anyway, thanks for the support and have a nice day! Leave a review and please don't fight in the comments! Bye bye! Mwah!
