It's OK, Omega is here. I am so glad that I've gone through all the stuff I had for the second volume. I nearly missed so many deadlines, because I had to look at the transcripts for that specific episode and I wouldn't have wi-fi at the time. Anyway, there are a couple more chapters until I go on another month-long hiatus, so enjoy!


The aftermath of what would have been the breach was the tiniest bit hectic. The clean-up for the tunnels took a few days. Explaining that the piece of paper on the bombs was not to be touched was rather annoying. Although, seeing all those angry White Fang agents wheeled away was rather entertaining.

I had just given my report to Ozpin about what had happened during the incident. I only mentioned what really happened to Neo and Roman after we were the only ones in his office. Speaking of the criminal duo, I was just about to check up on them. Still needed to make that offer to them afterall.

I teleported myself to Babylon and went down to the realm of relaxation. On the wall right next to the elevator was a hidden panel that only Alice and I knew about. I tapped in the required code and the wall slid open. On the other side of the wall was an exact mirror to the normal realm of relaxation. Corridor, seventeen doors, black and blue paint job, the whole shebang.

I walked forward and entered the door at the end of the corridor. Inside was once again a mirror of the other grand living room I had on the other side of this floor. Currently, it had only two occupants. One was Neo who was playing Left for Dead on the giant TV, seeming very happy with the gory game. The second was Roman who was raiding my fridge of any booze it had. I didn't drink, I just kept it in there for the people who did.

I cleared my throat, bringing the attention of the two criminals to me. Neo paused her game and Roman took a swig of the beer he was holding.

"I see you're enjoying the accomedations I've set up," I say with a sly grin. Neo nodded eagerly, while Roman scowled slightly.

"Can you just tell us what you want already?" He demanded in an annoyed tone.

"Alright, alright," I placate the man. I gesture towards the large table in the center of the room. "Please, sit."

They both took a seat across from me on the table.

"Before we begin, I realize I never formally introduced myself. Cyan F. Matu, at your service," I tell them with a smile. "Roman has Neo filled you in on my offer?"

"She has," he said simply. "I'm suspicous as to what you get out of this though."

"Well, I sense a kindred spirit in you, Roman," he snorts in response to my statement. "You may laugh, but I can tell you enjoy the thrill of an adrenaline rush as much as I do. Which is why I'm guessing you stick with the crime buisness even though you could have retired a rich man years ago."

"Heh, you got me, kid," Roman says with a smirk. "Now, why should I give up that thrill for you?"

"Besides the fact that it'll get you killed?" I ask with an eyebrow raised. Roman rose his own eyebrow wordlessly asking me to continue. "Cinder's plan is going to get you killed, Roman. Neo as well. . .well, most likely get her killed. There wasn't a clear sign."

Roman's cocky mask broke for a second, showing worry and fear. Although, not for himself as you would think. That was there, mind you, but the main source of his worry was Neo.

Time to test another theory.

"Why can't Neo speak?" I ask bluntly.

"You ever think of a thing called tact?" Roman snarls, to which I merely shrug. Neo puts a hand on the theif's shoulder and he sighs. "About ten years ago, I was just starting out on my criminal life. I set up shop in one of those abandoned warehouses in Vale. One night I was sleeping and I woke up to a knife on my throat, going with my instincts I slammed my elbow backwards, hard. Much to my surprise, there was a little girl clutching her throat on the floor behind me. The girl was dirty and covered in rags, looked like she hadn't eaten in a long time. It was either broken or cracked, but she still stared at me with a burning fire in her eyes that said she did not give a shit. My semblance is permanent injury, so I knew her throat would never heal. Out of interest in that fire and a tiny bit of guilt, I offered the girl a job. With nothing to lose, she accepted and over the years she began to be something of a daughter to me. My perfect little Neopolitan."

Neo blushed slightly at the compliment given by her father figure. That set a lot of things in stone for me. Seeing as Roman wasn't a complete dick in this version of the RWBY universe, I decided I would help. I took a talisman from my inventory and walked over to Neo.

"What are you doing?" Roman asks me with steel in his eyes.

"This is a curse-removal talisman," I explained holding up the slip of paper. "If my theory is correct and your semblance works the way I think it does, if I do this-" I kneeled down before Neo and placed the talisman on her throat. I instantly put my aura into it and activated the seal. A small cracking noise could be heard as if something broken was being put back together. "Give it a shot."

"H-hello," a soft voice resounded in the room. To the shock of Roman and the ever-loving badass of me. Neo's eyes start to tear as she hears her own voice. "I-I can talk! I can finally talk again! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

The little, ice cream girl hugged me tightly. Roman was frozen stiff and only moved again when Neo bear-hugged the ginger theif as well. Roman shook himself out of his shock and hugged his adopted daughter. He turned towards me with a tear in the corner of his eye.

"Thank you," he tells me.

"No problem," I say with a grin. I let the two of them hug it out for a couple minutes, capturing the very special moment on a scroll I had hidden in my pocket. They soon seperated and sat back down in their seats.

"So, what do you want us to do?" Roman asks with determination in his eyes.

"For you, Roman, I want you to stay here until Cinder is dead," I tell him. Then I point to Neo. "As for you, Neo, I need you to stay in Cinder's group until the first round of the tournament is over. After that, you can come back here and do whatever you want."

"That's it?" Neo asks, her childish voice making her all the more moe.

"To be honest, I really didn't need your help all that much with my plans," I tell them honestly. "I just wanted to help you guys out cause, unlike Cinder, you have loyalty."

Both Roman and Neo raise their eyebrows high at my statement.

"To each other," I clarify. "There is one thing I value most in the entire world and that is loyalty. You two are loyal to each other, so I decided if I could help you guys survive then I would."

"You're an odd man, Cyan," Roman tells me.

"And proud of it!" I say with a Kamina-worthy grin.


I quickly wrapped things up with the two thiefs. I was very happy that it worked out so well. The only thing that would make it better was if I had my incredibly cute and sexy girlfriend with me, which was my current mission. I was scouring the halls of Beacon to find Velvet, since she wasn't at her dorm room. I could've called her on my scroll, but I wanted to surprise her.

I turned a corner and found the very distinct pair of bunny hairs I found so incredibly adorable. I was happy for a split second, before that happiness turned to rage. Currently standing next a very uncomfortable-looking Velvet was Neptune. The blueberry seemed to be hitting on my girlfriend and that just wouldn't do, now would it?

I picked up my pace towards Velvet. I was starting to be able to hear the conversation going on, one-sided though it was.

"So, what about it? Want to go on a date with yours truly?" Neptune's glaringly white smile made me want to punch his teeth down his throat.

"I-I actually a-already have-Cyan!" Velvet's joyous exclamation drew Neptune's attention to me.

"Hello," I say with a smile that Velvet could tell meant a lot of pain for Neptune.

"Oh hey, Cyan," Neptunes waves dismissvely. "Can you go away, I'm trying to get a date with this cutie."

"You better pray to whatever god exists that there is some other girl nearby that isn't my girlfriend," I say with a deathly-cold voice and a forced smile. Neptune pales considerably.

"Y-you mean-that she's. . .I'm in a lot of trouble aren't I?" Neptune asks starting to sweat profusely.

"Yes, yes you are," I confirm for him, while cracking my knuckles.

POW!

With a lightning fast punch, Neptune was literally soaring away from Velvet and I. I quickly dial a number and listen to it ring for a few seconds, before a familar monkey faunus answered me.

"Yo, Cyan, what's up?" Sun asked with his usual smile.

"Hey, King. You wouldn't happen to be in your team's dorm room by any chance, would you?" I ask with a happy tone.

"Yeah, I am. Why?" Sun asks in confusion.

"You may want to step away from your window," I advise him.

"O-kay." Sun wakes a step away from the window. "Any reason why or-"

CRASH

"Owwwwww!" I could hear Neptune's whimpery voice over the phone.

"That would be the reason," I say with a smile.

"What'd he do?" Sun deadpanned.

"Hit on my girlfriend," I answer, also in deadpan.

"I'm going to get this idiot to the hospital." Sun tells me, still in deadpan. "Talk to you later, Cy."

"Bye, King," I tell him, then turning off my scroll. I turn back to Velvet who had calmed down slightly. "You alright, Velv?"

"Yeah, I'm great now that you're here," Velvet says with a large smile. I grin and kiss the bunny girl.

"Wanna head to Babylon and have a video game tournament?" I ask.

"Hell yeah!" Velvet cheers, switching to her gaming persona for a second. Then promptly switching back when she realized she was in public.

I snicker at her mistake and then disappear in a flash of light along with her. We take the elevator to the realm of relaxation, talking about what games to play while we waited.

"Persona 4 Arena!" I argue.

"CoD 4!" Velvet argues back.

"You know I can't shoot for shit," I tell her heatedly. "You'd win 100% of the time!"

"And you're the god of freaking fighting games. I'd also get my ass kicked!" Velvet raises a good arguement.

"So. . .Racing game?" I ask.

"Now you're talking," Velvet tells me with a nod. We enter the main room of the realm of relaxation and find we're not alone.

There were two people in the room before us. One was a girl of, I'd guess, 16 years old. She had long aqua-marine hair that went down to her knees, along with a pair of golden eyes. She had tan skin that I could see quite a lot of, all thanks to her outfit. The girl was only wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a gold bikini top. She was tallish, around 5"10'. I use an 'Observe' on her to get her info. Although, I only checked her name, level, and stats. Didn't want any spoilers after all.

Raina Lvl.77

Stats: STR: 239
DEX: 211
VIT: 158
INT: 43
WIS: 87
LUC: 134

The other person was also a girl and this one I knew. It was-

"Argentum!" I exclaim. I hadn't seen the silver GM in a while, so this was a surprise. "What are you doing here and who is she?"

"She's-"

"Hiiiiiiiiii!" Raina appears in front of me with a large smile. She immediatly takes one of my hands and shakes it up and down furiously. She does the same with Velvet a second later. "My name's Raina, it's nice to meet you! I got really excited when I heard that I would be getting some friends to hang out with! I didn't really have any back home, not that I interacted with people to begin with. That isn't to say I don't want friends, it's just that they didn't often show up near where I lived and it was really annoying. I was really lonely. . ."

I just stare dumbfounded at the girl who just went to incredibly happy and excited to sitting on the floor with a storm cloud hovering over her darkened face. Argentum clears her throat to get the attention back to her.

"As I was saying," she says, casting a glance at Raina. "She showed up at our building where we moniter the status of all the gamers we have. I don't mean she walked into the area univited. I mean, she literally showed up out of nowhere. Just poofed right into the middle of the room. I knew you still had a spot on your team and was hoping you could take her off our hands."

I could her the pleading in Argentum's tone. There were two things I needed to know before I actually agreed, though.

"What's wrong with her exactly?" I ask, pointing towards Raina's still depressed form, Velvet was trying to cheer her up, but to no avail.

"Bipolar," Argentum answers.

"Ahh, that makes sense," I nod in understanding. "Hey, Raina."

"Y-yeah. . ?" She asks with a small sniffle.

"Can you fight?" I ask with my arms crossed across my chest. Raina goes back to happy-go-lucky in 0 seconds flat.

"Yeah, I can!" She exclaims proudly. "I'm really good at fighting people! It was the only thing I really had to do back home!"

"We'll have to test that later," I say with a grin. "But, for now, how about you tell us about yourself?"

We spent the next couple hours listening to Raina and her stories of her home. It was very interesting to here about where she was from, a secret I'll keep for a little while longer. Argentum left soon after we had started talking, wishing me luck before she did. Velvet and I eventually got to out gaming tournament with the addition of Raina who was apparently naturally good at racing games.


The next day I went to Ozpin to get Raina properly accepted into Beacon. He did the same things he did when Dante showed up and since I know had four team members, I finally got a team name. I, Cyan F. Matu, am the team leader of Alice Matu, Raina, and Dante Kokuo. And we were given the team name Team CARD, something I was oh so proud of.

Currently, I was standing next to Professor Goodwitch during combat class. The professor was letting Raina take the final match of the day to show off her skills. The match between two random students ended and Goodwitch nodded at me. I grin and jump to center stage.

"Hello, party people!" I call out with a grin. "Not sure how many of you found this out, but I have a new teammate. One that completes my team, making it Team CARD. Since, no one has met this new teammates of mine, I'd like to unveil her here. Come on out, Raina!"

The blue hair girl jumped over my head and landed in the middle of the arena with a quadruple backflip, earning a fair amount of applause from the audience.

"Now for her opponent," in my announcer's voice, I point out to a mane of blonde hair. "Yang Xiao Long! Will you please enter the ring?"

Yang grins and jumps down into the arena. Once she lands, Yang activates Ember Celica and smashes her fists together.

"Okay, I want a good bloody fight," I call out in my announcer's voice again, this time with the accompaniment of a microphone. "Ready, fight!"

Yang starts things with a bang and fire half-a-dozen feiry shots from her gauntlets. Seeing the projectiles shooting towards, Raina took in a huge breath of air and then shouted-

"Water Dragon ROAAAARRRRRR!" A stream of highly-pressured rised water shot out of Raina's mouth and extuingished the blasts.

"What!?" Yang shouted out of shock.

Raina was from the Fairy Tail universe and was a 1st generation Water Dragon Slayer. She had been raised by the water dragon, Aquatica, and had been raised in the ocean. Raina was a literal go-with-the-flow type of person and followed the currents of the ocean when her dragon went missing. Apparently, she had been minding her own buisness when the entire world seemed to turn grey. I guessed that she had been one of the ones to avoid being sent to Edolas. Then, something happened and she ended up in the server room for FutureTech. She wouldn't specify what that something was, but I didn't pry. Anyway, back to the fight!

Yang recovered from her shock hastily and used her shotgun shots to boost her way towards Raina. With a battle cry, she threw a punch at Raina. Something that Raina was already countering.

"Water Dragon Iron FIST!" Her water-covered hand struck Yang's left gauntlet, dousing the shell that was about to be fired. Yang looked shocked once more when her gauntlet wouldn't fire. Raina took advantage of the confusion and hit her with two more 'Iron Fist's.

Yang flew across the arena, when she got back up, her eyes were blazing red. She smashed her knuckles together and Yang's hair went ablaze. I understood what she was trying to do. If she evaporated the water inside her gauntlet with the fire, she would be able to fire her shotgun shells again.

Yang roared and started firing dozens of explosive blasts at Raina's form.

"Water Dragon Repulsor!" Raina held up both of her palms and started firing balls of water from each one. Once again, dousing the flames Yang was producing.

The blonde brawler looked even more pissed at this and the temperature in the room went up a few degrees. Shot after shot was fired at the dragon slayer, but the multiple verses followed the first. Yang looked like she was about to go nuclear, that is, until a voice rang out from the crowd.

"Yang, calm down!" Blake's voice reached Yang's ears and she froze for a second. Yang let her arms fall to her sides and took a few deep breaths.

Raina watched all the while. Her fighting style relied on countering her opponents attacks instead of actually attacking all out. She doesn't fight the current, Raina merely flows with it.

Yang finally made a move by deactivating her Ember Celica. Confusion spread among most of the audience, none of them seeming to get what Yang was doing. Which was quite obvious, her regular style of fighting wasn't working, so she's changing her style.

"Kokyushin Karate," Yang calm statement once again confuses some people, but for those like me, who understood what that meant, were beyond intruiged. Raina tensed as Yang ran forward with her fist drawn back. Raina crossed her arms to guard the strike, but for what was coming, it wouldn't do much. "Fist of the Black Turtle!"

The strong punch shook Raina's defense, causing her to flinch from the blow. Yang wasn't done yet either, the blonde brought up her left leg and then swiftly brought it back down.

"Kick of the Red Phoenix!" The resulting tornado sent Raina flying into the air with a look of shock on her face for a second.

"Water Dragon Storm!" Raina took advantage of how high she was and rained down water-covered punches from above onto Yang. Yang just took the blows, letting the kinetic energy fuel her semblance's power.

Yang used her next attack as soon as Raina landed on the ground.

"Dance of the White Tiger!" The ferocious combo rocked the not yet oriented Raina. There was only one move left in the chain Yang was setting up and she was about to unleash it.

Raina flinched as if she was noticing something different about her surroundings. Her eyes widened as she looked towards Yang, who had her hands clasped in front of her. Raina crossed her arms on front of her and I could see a ball of water building behind them. Both girls attacks were ready at the same time, and they were unleashed in a roar of sound.

"Wave of the Blue Dragon!"

"Water Dragon Maelstrom!"

As soon as Yang opened up her hands, Raina uncrossed her arms. The raging gale from Yang's attack was met with a ferocious stream of water coming from Raina. Dust covered the field for a split second, blinding all to the aftermath of the attack.

The dust cleared to show both competitors standing strong, although they were out of breath. Despite their exhaustion, both girls grinned ferally showing how much they were both enjoying the challenge.

I looked towards the display for the aura levels of the two. It was about even with both Yang and Raina in the low yellow with Raina pulling slightly ahead of Yang. Even I was getting excited to see how this battle would end.

Yang reactivated Ember Celica with a grin as her fists started to blaze. Raina also grinned and made water cover her forearms in her own form of gauntlets. In the matter of a second, both girls shot forward with a shout.

"Water Dragon Typhoon!"

"Nova Gatling!"

Fire met water in an explosion of kinetic energy that nearly blew away it's surroundings. A covering of steam enveloped the area after the first ten or so punches that hit each other. They continued their brawl for a full minute before the sounds of punches stopped and the steam started to disappear.

In true manga fashion, both of the girls were frozen stiff with each other's fists hitting their faces. Then, as if a breeze hit them, they both fell to the ground, knocked out cold. I shook myself out of my shock and checked the board, both of them were at 0% aura. So, there was only one thing I could do.

"I declare this match. . .a tie!" I shouted to the audience, who in turn starting roaring with applause. With that over, I jumped into the arena while pulling out potions from my inventory.

Blake seemed to have the same idea and had gone to Yang's side. I tossed the black-ette one of each potion for Yang to drink. After waking Raina up, I had her drink the potions to refuel her energy. When both girls recovered, they shook hands with large grins on their faces.

"That was an awesome fight!" Yang complimented the Dragon Slayer.

"Same to you, Yang," Raina returned the compliment, before her stomach started growling. "Heh heh, guess that fight worked up an appetite. Think the cafeteria has some tangerines?"

At the mention of tangerines I froze, and had to resist the urge to facepalm.

Oh, you have got to be kidding me!

What?

This entire team is just one giant otaku reference!

. . .Huh, I guess it is.

You look like Shiro if she were part dragon, Dante is a mix between Zoro and King Shark, and Raina both looks and acts like if Nami were a Dragon Slayer! And don't get me started on myself in that little equation.

Are you saying you'd have it any other way?

No, no, I wouldn't.

I smirk mentally and follow my team and my friends to the cafeteria for some food.


So, what do you guys think about Cy's final teammate? When I was creating her I was stuck between making her bipolar and having Multiple Personality Disorder. My buddy, Ragnorak16, said I should go with Bipolar so I did. Oh, and I am open to what her theme is and what her emblem looks like.

Anyway, see ya next time, OK is out!
