Get up, go to the bathroom if you can, grab some more snacks. Because it's an interlude! -Me on this Chapter.
After much intense debating, read as arguing, Ruby won the right to read the Fifth chapter.
"The Chapter Title is Candy Shop Interlude, so it might take place in a Candy Shop?" Asked the Rose known as Ruby.
"The takeover of the first orphanage was successful to say the least." I thought while pouring dextrose-carbohydrates into a vat.
"For while it has only been a year since the last chapter. I have been pretty busy." I thought while pouring some ground up black berries.
"I have started a Candy Shop called Candy D'états. Which is staffed by the varies Orphans." I thought while pouring some melted sugar in the vat.
"There are two in particular that stand out." I thought while getting four pounds of Potassium.
"The First is-
Ruby has dropped the Book in shock. "Should I get the Barf Bags?" Asked Jaune. She shook her head in the negative.
"The First is Roman Torchwick."
"What" everyone shouted. "But, but, he's evil!" Shouted the Lone Schnee. "Apparently not in that Universe." Stated Nora.
"He and Neapolitan or just Neo, are the two Mascots for Candy D'états." I thought while carrying back the Potassium.
"The Goal at Candy D'états is to make Remnant Healthier One Sugar addiction at a time." I thought while dumping all of the Potassium into the vat.
"We do this by using Dishonored's way of doing potions. Aka have something nutrient packed and have the internal energies of the Consumer do the work." I thought while dumping the liquids from squeezed Raspberries and Cranberries.
An arm wrapped around Jaune's throat and lifted him up. The readers get up to fight when they see it's Cardin. "Cardin let him go." Said Pyrrha. "Why should I?" asked Cardin. "What are you going to threaten me with? Your fists?" Asked Cardin. "Yeah!" Said Yang. Cardin brings his other fist down on Jaune's head and gives him a twister for hair. "Relax, while I may not know what your version of Cardin may act like. But me? I'm a Jerk with a Heart of Gold." Said Cardin. He puts Jaune back down on the couch.
"Prove it." Said Jaune. "I didn't twist and break your neck did I?" asked Cardin. "Touché" said Jaune.
"Come on through, we finally got the right one." Said Cardin to thin air.
Air is torn open and out of the tear comes CVFY and Penny.
"Thanks for helping us Cardin." Said Coco Adel.
"It is not a problem." Said Cardin before he bursts into a flock of his Namesake and flies through the tear. It closes after him leaving the 13 there.
While everyone was trying to figure out what just happened, Jaune rushed over to Penny and hugged her. After they broke apart he says. "Young lady, what did I say about having your manipulation wires set at a higher strength than your body can handle?"
"Not to?" Said Penny.
"Wait, wait just a second. You two know each other?" Asked Yang and Weiss.
"Remember when I said that my mom was an expert on Aura?" Asked Jaune.
"Yeah." Went RWBY NPR.
"I lied. She is The Expert on Aura." Said Jaune.
"Okay, and how does this factor into your relationship with Penny?" Asked Pyrrha.
"Well, her dad is The Expert on Robotics. They wanted to test their skills and decided to try and create a machine that can use Aura." Said Jaune.
"I am the Result of that project." Said Penny. "I think it was successful. Don't ya think?"
"Wait. But you were shocked with us at Penny being a machine." Said Ruby.
"I was shocked that Cinder said that 'Atlas is trying to invade everyone with Robotic Soldiers disguised as innocent little girls' and that the masses were buying it." Said Jaune.
"So that means, yes Penny is indeed my Half-sister." Said Jaune.
"Ruby. Stop doing that." Said the Blind Fox.
"I was just testing to see if you can see." Said Ruby. "Which you can."
"No I can't. well, not the way you're thinking of." Said Fox. "And no I will not tell you how because of- "
"Spoilers!" Went the newly arrived Five.
"Drat!" Said Yang.
"And yes we will do that whenever you ask about the future of the story." Said Velvet.
"While I'm working on this batch of Candy. You can enjoy a Necessary Flashback." I thought while dumping some powdered peppers into the vat.
The Doctor gulped. "Well sir, the results came back. There is good news, bad news and worse news." Said the Doctor. "Give me the worse." Said The Father. "The worst? Well, okay. Your son, Onyx, must never come into skin contact with Dust. That would be fine if not for one thing. There are tiny Dust particles in the air from Dust usage. Even those tiny particles in the air are enough to set him off." Said the Doctor. "The solution is two-fold. The first is to get a skintight suit. Made of something that is airtight and has never been touched by Dust of any kind. The second is to move out of the city so that if the suit tears there won't be a lot of Dust in the air. Maybe become a farmer perhaps?"
"Okay. I can get the suit made, Ozpin owes me a favor anyways. And we were planning to move into the country side anyways. The bad?" Asked the Father. "The bad? Well your daughter has a less severe case of Dust Monla. If she breaths in 2-4 Pounds of Dust without taking a 4-minute break of Dust-free air. She will start to die. The solution is to have a mask for her and/or something to burn away the airborne Dust." Said the Doctor.
"We'll do the mask." Commented Tai. "And the good?" the Doctor smiled. "There is no bone disease. It was just faulty technology." Taiyang smiled in relief.
Ruby while reading this part started crying at 'Onyx must never come into skin contact with Dust' she had to stop at 'even those tiny particles are enough to set him off'. Yang hugged her when the description of her case was read. Everyone smiled when it was said that the bone disease was just faulty tech.
"I don't think that Onyx can become a Hunter like the rest of us." Said Yang. "What with that suit being somewhat tear able."
"Trust us on that Onyx gets around that little Problem." Smiled Velvet.
"How?" Asked Yang. "Read the story." Deadpanned Coco.
I grab ahold of the vat inside of the fireplace.
"Okay?" Asked Yang.
The arm of the suit I am wearing heats up.
"Take it out!" Cried Ruby and Nora.
I take out the vat with the help of the power armor I am wearing over the safety suit.
"Oh really, Yang." Said Jaune. "I think that with whatever Onyx considers Power Armor. I think he definitely can be a Huntsman."
I drag the melted Candy through a streamer that separates the Candy into threads. After it is in strands I twist them back into a cord. Thus making a very Famous Candy. I get out of the power armor and bring the latest batch of Twizzlers to the front.
"And that's the End!" Said Ruby.
