So here we are with the latest chapter of the story. With over 500+ views, it's become kinda popular
I guess. But the only time it is really popular is when it receives reviews. No need to be shy.
37: And now... FOR YOUR ENTERTANEMENT!
Episode 6: Burning the Candle
Chapter 12: The Best Laid Plans for taking your friends to the dance
Ruby just laid her head on the table while staring ahead. Weiss stepped in and said, "Could you at least put
a table cloth on this table?"
"Not in the mood."
Fio then came into the scene and said, "Closer, closer," And Yang came in, carrying a huge loudspeaker.
"Down!"
Yang dropped it, causing a huge thud. "Great! Now to get the fog machines!"
"You two!" Ruby pointed accusingly at Yang and Fio, "Aren't you two supposed to be convincing Blake
to join the dance?!"
Fio then walked forward and said, "Ruby, Rome wasn't built in a day, you know that?"
"What's Rome?" Weiss asked. Fio turned and was about to say something, when the doors swung open
and Marco walked in with Shadowrath Ralf, Sun and Neptune. IF you remember the last chapter, then you
know why Ralf looked like a human sized stick figure.
"Rome was an empire on Earth which was the most brilliant Empire in the world," Marco replied, "and
later on got broken up by barbarian tribes. Real sad story that was."
"And your dance has FOG MACHINES?" Neptune asked. Fio chirruped, "Yeah, I told you guys it was a
great idea!" Ralf said, "(Jap) You should also think about what food items you will be giving out. Dancing
for too long makes people hungry."
Everyone turned to Ralf and Marco said, "Ralf, no one except Tarma can understand you. So maybe it
would be better if you don't talk unless Tarma's around."
"That's harsh," Yang commented.
"SO what'll you two be wearing?" Weiss asked. Sun said, "Uh... this?" And pointed to his current clothes.
Neptune said, "Sorry, he knows not what he talks about." Marco clapped and said sarcastically, "Hooray,
Shakespeare."
"Who?"
"Hey, I may have moved to Mistral," Sun pointed out, "but I grew up in Vacuo. It's not really a shirt and
tie place."
"(Jap) I think I'm envious."
"Guys, I can't get Blake to change her mind," Ruby said moodily. Yang turned her head, and said, "Trust
me, Blake WILL be at the dance tomorrow."
Fio then walked to Marco and said, "What about Nadia and Trevor? I tried but couldn't even PAY them
to order a ceasefire." Marco shrugged and said, "Well, they'll have to find their own dance partners. I can
only wish them good luck."
"You know," Yang said, "You both should dance together! You would make a really cute couple." Both
the Italians blushed, until Marco said, "What you standing around for? GO GET BLAKE!"
Baddie Place
Eri slowly opened her eyes, and looked weakly in front of her. It had been days since Snyder had been
torturing her, but she had refused to talk. All the blood loss had seriously weakened her. But she suddenly
started feeling healthier again. As she opened her eyes, she saw a figure standing.
It was a shaman with an emerald shawl. There was something unusual about this shaman. He was also
having thunderbolt signs going down his mask eye sockets like tears, but the difference was that his
thunderbolts were emerald. When Eri looked down, she saw his hand was glowing, and it was over her
hand which Snyder had stabbed. The shaman pulled the hand away, and Eri gasped when she saw her hand
fully healed. She looked up, "Who... Are you?"
The shaman simply looked away. He then turned his whole direction and began to walk away, until Eri
quickly stammered, "T-thank you."
The shaman looked back, and said, "It was nothing, but Snyder wouldn't like what I did." He then
shivered. Eri just stared. "You're... terrified of him?"
"Yeah... he did this to me," And showed his glowing hand. As the light faded, she saw his hand was a
skeleton's hand with an emerald stuck in the middle of the hand. "It doesn't hurt, but sometimes it itches."
He then sighed, "Sometimes I miss my old hand. This one just feels... Lifeless." As he walked away, Eri
then asked, "So... what's your name?"
The shaman turned his head, "Nobody has ever asked me that before."
"So, what is your name?"
"... Takashi. And nice to meet you."
As Takashi disappeared into the darkness, Eri heard a door swung open. She then saw, in the light, Snyder
approach with Morden. "All right, talk!" Snyder shouted, "And if you don't then something real bad's
gonna happen."
Eri kept her mouth shut.
"All right! Ultimate torture spell!"
Eri saw Snyder's hands illumine. She could only imagine what was gonna happen. Perhaps she was going
to feel like getting hit by a bulldozer? Or a machinegun?
"TRANS MUNDOS INTER DIMENSION!"
There was a flash.
As the light cleared, Snyder said, "ALL right gal! Let's see what happe..."
He stopped talking. The chair in which Eri was bound was empty. Morden only stared ahead. "What...
Did you just... did you vaporize her?"
"No... the vaporize spell has a different verse. I think, I mixed up the ultimate torture spell with another
spell."
"Ok, which?"
In another dimension
Eri now looked like the 2D way she did in the arcade version of Metal Slug. She looked left, then she
looked right, and said, "Uh...where am I?"
Back at Beacon
Tarma was done fixing the Metal Slug. "There, beautiful again, but not as much as the Ferrari Slug." Then,
the light of the Metal Slug fell off and broke.
"Give me a break you useless piece of trash!" He then kicked the Metal Slug. Suddenly, a voice said, "AI
mode active."
"Wha?"
The tank cannon of the Slug turned towards Tarma and said, "What are you being such a jackass for, you
jerk?" Tarma only stared. The tank cannon turned left and said, "Finally I got activated. Do you know what
it feels like to be turned off for most of the day?"
Tarma scratched his head, and said, "You're disturbing, good night." Tarma was about to kick the Metal
Slug again, when the tank cannon turned towards him and said, "No wait don't! Come on man, I-I-I'll stay
quiet! I-I-I'll do the dishes!"
"How? You don't even have any hands."
"Ok, then, I'll be quiet!"
"All right, I won't turn you off, but who put this AI mode into you?"
"Why, Alisa Stuart did of course. Didn't she tell you?"
"SHE put this into you? That bitch. She didn't even tell this to me!"
"Yeah, why should she tell you? You're were too busy with the Ferrari Slug to pay any attention to me at
all. Speaking of which, ain't she hot?"
"The Ferrari Slug has an AI too?"
"Yep. She's a beauty."
"No doubt. Let me try activating her."
"Activate her! Activate her!" The Metal Slug cheered on enthusiastically. Tarma kicked the Ferrari Slug,
which then said, "Activating AI mode." Suddenly, the Ferrari Slug's lights turned on and said in a girlish
voice, "Who woke me up?"
"Hey there beautiful." The Metal Slug said.
"Why hello there," The Ferrari Slug replied, "I see Tarma found your AI Setting too."
"I know, now I can tell you that you are the most beautiful Slug I have ever seen."
Tarma could only scratch his head. Then the Ferrari Slug moved a little forward by itself, and said,
"Really?" The Metal Slug moved forward by itself as well, and said, "I mean it. From the bottom of my
engine."
Tarma slowly walked back, when Clark put a hand on his shoulder, and said, "So T, what will you be
wearing for the dance?"
Ballroom Dance time
Yang was setting flowers up in her Prom dress when she turned her head, and said,
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH! You two look beautiful!"
Fio was dressed up in a long, yellow dress that was reaching up to her feet, with an army belt tied around
the waist. As for Ruby, y'all know what she was wearing. "Thank you, Yang, now will you please tell me
if you've seen Marco?" Fio asked. Yang pointed to Marco, who was at the moment talking to Tarma, and
Tarma then started laughing. Fio walked up, touched Marco on the shoulder, who turned around. Tarma
was wearing one of those ordinary tuxedos which guys wear to the ball along with his sunglasses, while
Marco was wearing a white tuxedo jacket, with a black bow tie without his headband.
"Wow, Fio, you... Look beautiful," Marco commented, "but was the army belt THAT necessary?"
"Let's just dance."
Fio suddenly dragged Marco by the arm, and before you know it, the two were now dancing with the
rhythm of all of the couples in the dance hall. Tarma sighed and seated himself with Team RWY. (Ruby,
Weiss, and Yang). "Well Ruby, mission accomplished, Blake made it," Yang said. Tarma replied, "Blake's
status is okay, but we failed to get Trevor and Nadia to get along."
Weiss patted him on the back, and said, "Don't worry, we'll figure something out."
Outside
The Ferrari Slug stood with the Metal Slug outside near the entrance to the dance. "So Meta," the Ferrari
asked, "Why are we here?"
The Metal Slug turned it's tank cannon towards the Ferrari Slug, and said, "It's because tonight is a
very special night. Couples have gathered her for a dance inside the building, so we will dance too...
VEHCILE STYLE!"
"I like it."
The two vehicles slowly and carefully, drove their way through the really large doors. Yang jumped in
surprise when she saw the vehicles come in through the door way. "WHOA WHOA! Um, you're in
time?"
"Wohoo!" The Ferrari Slug announced.
All the students quickly cleared the floor and stood near the walls when they saw the two vehicles come
in. Ozpin ad Glynda were especially alarmed. The Metal Slug then said, "You kids have seen dancing, but
now it's time to show how VEHICLES dance!"
The Metal Slug and the Ferrari Slug then started their dance. The Ferrari Slug used the dance moves which
those cars with hydraulics in GTA San Andreas have, while the Metal Slug pulled of similar moves, as
well as a wheelie on both treads, then with one tread. The crowd went nuts.
Who knew even vehicles can fall in love?
Not me. Review, please.
