RWBY: Press Start
Level Thirty Three
Team Ninja
Another day passed in the nation of Planeptune like any other. Each member of team RWBY was out doing their own thing. Ruby and Weiss were on another date (not a surprise there.), Yang was off in a gym, something called super training and Blake was sitting on a couch in the living room at the basilicom reading a book. To be more precise, a book Blanc had written. Out of all the books the Faunus girl has read throughout her life, never before had she seen such bad writing and the most cliché of ideas. And yet she kept on reading it. "How could anyone write like this?"
As she flipped through another page, Neptune appeared out of nowhere in front of her. "Hiya Blake! Whatcha doing?"
Blake didn't mind the other girl's presence as she kept reading. "Reading. What else?"
The goddess gasped. "Reading? What kind of a world did you come from? Why not plug in and play a game?"
The Faunus girl had a good reason for that. "Because I like books more."
And those words shattered Neptune's mind. "No way! How can there be a person who likes books more than video games!?"
Blake noted her reaction. "It's true." She continued to read but Neptune continued to stand in front of her. Something she didn't like. "Is there a reason why you're here?"
The CPU smiled at the other girl. "Just a teeny question is all. You're the ninja of the team, right Blake?"
The Faunus girl flipped through another page. "You can say that but I never considered myself as a ninja."
Neptune laughed at that. "Oh please. You wear black, you have a cool sword, you can make clones of yourself, and you're a catgirl. That totally screams ninja."
Blake wasn't sure why being a cat Faunus would count as being a ninja. "Are you going somewhere with this?"
In fact, she was. "I was just thinking how awesome it would be if you were to meet a ninja friend of mine. I think the two of you would get along great."
That was actually enough for Blake to break away from her book when she heard that and looked at Neptune. "You know an actual ninja?"
The goddess nodded. "Yep and she's pretty strong too. So, you want to meet her now?"
Blake didn't have any other plans for the day except for reading. She closed the book. "Sure. Why not?"
Neptune was glad that Blake accepted her offer. "Great! Oh, and let's bring Yang along. She'll have a hoot too."
Already Blake had thoughts that Neptune may have an ulterior motive if she wanted to bring Yang along. "Alright then. I'll send her a text."

Neptune and the Bumblebee pairing were making their way through a forest that seemed a little dark. Probably because there was much sunlight wasn't going through the tree branches from above. It was a pretty long walk from Planeptune to where they are currently. There was something missing from this picture. "So…where's Ruby and Weiss? Why didn't they come along with us?" Blake asked.
Yang laughed. "I didn't want to ruin their date. Besides, we haven't spent some time with each other for a while either."
Her girlfriend had to admit that. Unlike their teammates, they haven't been out on a date once. This was close to one. "Well, I suppose a stroll through the forest isn't a bad first date." The only difference in this date was that they had a third wheel leading them. "How much longer until we meet this friend of yours?"
Neptune giggled at the question. "We're almost there so don't worry your cat ears." And Blake narrowed her eyes at the CPU. She could feel it too. "Yikes. I feel like I'm the pins and needles stare."
Yang thought she should clear this up. "Yeah…Blake's sensitive when it comes to her ears."
The goddess understood that clearly. "Got it. Ix-nay on the at ear-ay." As they continued to walk through the forest, something was bothering Neptune. "I feel like I should remember something but what was it?" And in the next second, she and Blake hear Yang scream. They turned to her only to find the blonde missing. "Uh…we seem to be missing our brawler in our party."
"Yang! Where are you!?" Blake called out.
"I'm down here!" The two girls looked down to see a hole in the ground. In it was Yang. "Who the hell makes pitfalls?"
Neptune had a guess. "Two people and a talking cat maybe?" Blake had no comment on that.
Before she could say something about said comment, something came down from the trees above right at the Faunus girl. Her instant reaction was drawing out Gambol Shroud and deflected the surprise attack. The figure landed across Blake but as the figure landed, already was making their way to the Faunus girl by moving all over the place. Blake blocked each attack coming at her but was having trouble keeping up even with her Faunus eyes able to see clearly in the dark. The figure jumped into the air and threw multiple shuriken at Blake. The Faunus jumped back out of the attack's way but that left her open for the figure's next attack. As the figure swung their sword at Blake, it went straight through her instead. In the next second, the Faunus girl behind the figure with Gambol Shroud near the throat. "That's enough. Who are you?"
She heard a giggle. "You're not bad at all. Are you a fellow ninja?" Now hearing the voice, the figure was a girl.
"Hey, Marvy!" Both girls looked ahead to Neptune who was smiling at them. "Nice entrance as usual but these girls aren't enemies. They're friends of mine."
That caught Marvy's interest. "Really" She disappeared in front of Blake and reappeared in front of Neptune. "I'm sorry. When my trap set off, I had to investigate."
Blake could only stare at what just happened. "She escaped my hold like it was nothing."
Yang finally managed to climb out of the hole. "Finally. What did I miss?"
Neptune looked past her friend to see the other two girls. "Right. Intro time. Blake, Yang, meet my good friend Marvy. Marvy, this is Yang and Blake. Also known as Bumblebee if you want to call the pairing that."
Marvy turned around and the Bumblebee pairing finally saw what she looked like. Needless to say, they were speechless. "You two are friends of Neppy? Wow, I feel silly. Sorry about the trap and sudden sneak attack. Nice to meet you. I'm MarvelousAQL or you could call me Marvy." She gave a cheerful smile at the two girls.
Blake and Yang remained to be speechless. One of the reasons why was the huge bust Marvy was sporting. "Holy crap. Look at the size of those things." The blonde was not at all used to be on the 'small' side. Judging by the size, Marvy was at least the same size as Vert or close to the goddess.
Blake now understood why Neptune wanted Yang to come along. "H-Hello there."
Marvy waved at the Faunus girl. "I have to say, you made some pretty impressive moves. Which ninja school did you come from?"
The other girl almost didn't know what to respond. "O-Oh. I'm not a-"
"Blake here says she isn't a ninja despite what she can do. As for a school…well let's just say they're not from around here."
Marvy had a slight idea of what the other girl meant by that. "Oh, so did you summon them from another world like me?" And questions were raised from Blake and Yang.
Neptune laughed at the question. "Nope. I didn't summon them. They and two others came here by a sudden flashing event."
And the ninja girl's face felt her face go red. "Oh dear. A flashing event. Like…that kind of flash?"
Yang and Blake knew what the other girl was trying to refer. "Whoa whoa whoa! You're thinking of the wrong thing. The very wrong thing. We came through something called a Sudden Flash Event. A bright light came out of nowhere from where we came from and were sent here." The blonde hoped that cleared things up.
Marvy seemed to understand it. "Ohh. So that's what you meant. My bad. Why don't we talk back at my home? I'm sure we'll have a better time there. Shall we?" She began to walk in a different direction. With no other option, Neptune and the Bumblebee pairing followed the ninja girl.

After avoiding more traps set up by Marvy, the group managed to approach a large Japanese style house. Needless to say, Yang and Blake weren't expecting something like that. "You seriously live here?"
Marvy slid open the door. "Yep but this isn't my permanent home. I move around every three months to a different location. A ninja must always adapt to a different landscape. One of the lessons I've learned back at ninja school." Blake wasn't going to comment on that.
After entering the house and taking off their boots and whatnot, they walked over to the living room. There were several cushions around a table and kitchen in the same room. "You want something to eat? I have futomaki rolls."
Yang didn't know what that was but she wasn't going to be rude. "I'll go for it."
Blake thought the same. "I'll have one as well."
Neptune smiled at the offer. "Sure thing. They taste awesome anyway."
Marvy was glad to hear the answers. "Great. I'll go get them now. Have a seat and I'll be back with them." As she headed to the kitchen, the three girls did as she told them. Marvy quickly came back three of the futomaki rolls she offered before. "Here you go. Have a taste."
Already the blonde was questioning the food offered. "Uh…a question here. What are futomaki rolls?"
As Marvy set down one for each girl, Blake caught a familiar whiff of the roll. "It smells familiar."
The ninja girl giggled at the question. "Futomaki rolls are sushi rolls. They're a popular food item back where I came from. Have some." She took a bite out of her own and squealed in delight. "So good!"
Neptune didn't waste any time biting into hers. Neither did Blake. As soon as the Faunus girl took her first bite into the roll, her eyes widened in shock. She didn't waste any time scarfing the rest of the roll in her mouth. It didn't go unnoticed by Neptune. "Whoa. Slow down there Blake or else you're going to choke with that thing in your throat."
Blake didn't hear her as she finished the roll. She had that look Yang recognized all too well. "Can I have more?"
Marvy laughed at what she saw. "Sure. I'm happy to see you like it so much."
Yang took a bite and it turned out not to be half bad. "This is kinda good. What's in it?"
The ninja girl brought a finger to her lips. "That's a trade secret." After getting Blake another futomaki roll, (more like five since she likes them so much.) it was time for the Q&A. "From what Neptune mentioned earlier, you two are another world. Is that really true?"
Blake was too busy stuffing her face with the second futomaki roll so Yang had to answer. "Yep. That's true. We're not the only ones. My sister Ruby and another teammate of ours, Weiss are here too but they're back at Planeptune."
Marvy was impressed hearing that. "That's so cool. What's your world like? What do you do? And is your friend a ninja because it's so cool to be meeting a fellow ninja."
Now that was a question Blake can answer. Also because she finished her third roll. "We're from a world called Remnant and we're training to become huntresses. Also, I'm not a ninja."
The other girl found that quite hard to believe. "Really? You pulled off a good clone of yourself when I attacked you.
Blake took another bite out of her roll. "That just was my semblance. It comes in handy when avoiding attacks."
Marvy thought otherwise. "Well, to me, I would say you're a ninja to me no matter what you say. So what do huntresses, er, hunt? "
The Faunus girl would gladly answer that. "We hunt down creatures called Grimm. They're called humanity's enemy and fight against them."
The other girl was amazed when she heard that. "Wow. That sounds really cool."
Now Blake wanted to know something to confirm something about Marvy. "What about you? What do actual ninjas do?"
The ninja girl giggled at the question. "Sorry but that's kinda secret. Let's just say we take our work very seriously." The Faunus girl already knew what kind of work ninjas like Marvy could do. The reason why she knew was because of the book she read before. Despite the "scenes" it had, the book did sometimes show what the ninjas in it could do. Although in Marvy's case, it was apparent her line of work didn't include said scenes.
There was something else Yang wanted to bring up while on the subject of ninjas. "Speaking of which, are you seriously a ninja because of the…"
Neptune knew where she was going. "Marvy's a genuine, the real deal ninja despite the huge knockers she's sporting." The other two girls wouldn't know that. With what Blake had read in a certain book she loved so much to read, Marvy didn't look the part of being a ninja.
Blake actually wanted to know more the other girl. "So…did you actually go through training to becoming a ninja?"
Marvy nodded at the question. "Uh-huh. I went to a ninja school actually." The Faunus girl wasn't going to ask questions. If there could be a school for huntresses and hunters, then there could be a school for ninja as unusual as it sounded.
Yang also wanted to know something about the ninja girl. "So does that mean you can use all kinds of ninja weapons?"
The ninja girl was glad to hear that question. "Of course. Shuriken, kunai, and chain-scythes. The rest are a trade secret."
Already Yang liked the other girl. There was one thing about her. "What about the outfit you're wearing? Don't you think…?"
Marvy already knew what the other girl meant. "Oh, this? This is the uniform for my school. Uh, the shirt. Not the look. The shirt I'm wearing now was the only size the school could find that would fit me." Yang had some serious doubts about that. An idea struck Marvy "Oh! How about one ninja to another, I can teach you something cool Blake. It'll be worth it."
The Faunus girl would be lying to herself if she didn't want to know an actual ninja technique. It interested her greatly. "Sure, if it's possible."
That was all Marvy needed to hear. "Great! I can teach you right now."
Blake felt a little excited she was going to learn an actual ninja technique. "Thank you but first, let me finish." She started to eat the fourth futomaki roll. Marvy guessed she liked them so much probably because she was part cat. She saw through the disguise once the ninja girl had a closer look at the Faunus girl.

After snacking on the futomaki rolls, all four girls were outside of the house and Marvy handed Blake a scroll. "This is a good starter for you."
The Faunus took the scroll and inspected it closer. "What am I supposed to do with it? Read it?"
The ninja girl laughed. "No silly. What I'm going to teach you is something called Fuuton."
And Yang had questions. "Fuu what now?"
Neptune knew where this was going. "Basically, Marvy is going to teach Blake how to use the wind. Wow, this totally brings back memories. Hope it doesn't turn out like last time."
Marvy continued to explain. "It's quite simple. Put the scroll in between your lips and imagine the wind. The stronger the image, the more powerful it becomes. Give it a try." It seemed simple enough. The Faunus girl followed the instructions and did just so. She closed her eyes and imagined the wind in her mind. In the next instant, the wind did appear around her. Marvy was surprised by this. "Wow and on your first try. I knew you would make a great ninja." All of sudden, the wind began to pick up which worried the ninja girl. "W-Whoa! That's a little too much!"
Yang felt the effects as well. "Uh…is this supposed to happen?"
Neptune was feeling a sense of déjà vu. "Oh boy. Here we go again."
Everyone screamed with a strange tearing sound and that was enough for Blake to break her focus. The scroll fell out of her mouth. "Is everyone alright?"
Fortunately enough, Neptune and Marvy were undamaged. "Wow. Our clothes weren't even torn."
The ninja girl had to agree. "Yeah. At least it didn't turn out like last time. You've done much better than Neptune when she first tried it."
Blake was actually honored hearing that. "Is that so?"
Neptune laughed at that. "Yeah…let's just say things didn't end up as good as I thought it would be."
While all of this was going well so far, there was one that wasn't too happy. "What the hell Blake!?" Everyone heard Yang's raised voice and looked over to her only to be greeted a surprising sight. Apparently, her outfit was completely shredded and only left her wearing nothing more than her underwear and Ember Celica. The blonde was covering up her chest with her arms. "I know you want to take off my clothes but there's a less drastic way to do so!"
This was embarrassing for Yang but comical to Neptune as her laughing wasn't obvious enough. "Wow! Your clothes were totally shredded. Nice one Blake!" She clutched her sides.
Yang wasn't the only who was embarrassed by this. Blake was so as well. She didn't mean to rip apart. "S-Sorry Yang! I didn't mean to."
This was the scene Neptune was familiar of. "Now this is how I remembered it went down last time."
The blonde's face was a deep red. "Can I please get a change of clothes now!?"
Marvy was already on it as she walked up to the other girl. "Sure thing. Let's get you back into the house before you catch a cold." She led Yang back into the house.
Blake had to admit she didn't expect the result to come out like this at the expense of her girlfriend's outfit. Neptune, on the other hand, was still getting a kick out of what just happened. "Hey, Blake?"
The Faunus girl sighed. "What is it?"
The CPU giggled. "You're really a CUT above the rest."
Loading…
It felt so strange to Ruby not having her sister around. It's been awhile since she and Weiss came back from their date only find the basilicom empty of the other two members. Right now the Whiterose pairing was in the living room with the young leader playing one of Neptune's games while the heiress watched. Now that she thought about it, there wasn't any sight of Neptune as well. "Where are they anyway? It's not like them to just up and disappear like that."
Ruby didn't seem too worried. "I'm sure they're fine."
Weiss had thought of the same thing but it was still strange. Nepgear suddenly appeared and was walking past the two girls. "Excuse me, Nepgear."
The candidate stopped and turned to the heiress. "What is it, Weiss?"
"You wouldn't happen to know where Yang and Blake are now currently correct."
Nepgear thought about the question for a few seconds. "Well, I do remember Neptune telling me she was going to take the both of them to see a friend of ours."
That pretty much explained why they haven't seen them around lately. If the person they went to see was a friend of Neptune's, chances are that person will be similar to Nisa. "Hey! We're home!" Speak of the goddess herself. "Hey, there Nep Jr. Ruby, Weiss."
The younger sister was happy for Neptune's return. "Welcome back Neptune. How did it go?"
Neptune laughed awkwardly. "It went well until…"
Ruby paused her game. "Until what and where's Yang and Blake?"
"We're here." Blake showed up behind Neptune.
Behind her was… "Yang? What are you wearing and what happened to your old outfit?" Ruby asked.
As soon as Yang appeared in the room, all eyes were on her. She growled slightly at the outfit she was currently wearing. It was another of Marvy's school uniform except it was buttoned up all the way when Yang was wearing it. "I don't want to talk about it."
