My Turn FIrst Semester Arc: Chapter 37, a rwby fanfic

EDIT: Oh right, forgot to add...I GOT OVER 2000 FOLLOWERS! YEEEEEEAAAHH! THIS IS AMAZING! :D

Seriously, thank you all. This made my day when I reached that milestone. :)

A/N: Hello everyone! Welcome to another installment of Mu Turn!

Fuck. Three months. Sorry about that…well, one month anyway. That was pure laziness. The other two were distractions with my Monster Musume fic (read that if you want a harem) and personal matters.

And before anyone asks, yes I have seen all of Volume 6…given a certain revelation about Salem, and everything about the gods and Relics, Colt may be in over his head a little. Meh, we'll see.

Also, um…I suppose I should've mentioned this in the previous two chapters, but I made some edits to certain aspects of the story. For instance, I no longer have the theory of Qrow being Ruby's dad in this story. Instead, it's…a bit more tragic than that, I think. Go see for yourself.

Also, I edited it so that Cinder isn't actually in Vale at the moment. She went back to see Salem about her…condition. Cinder will be back, don't worry. How she'll be when she returns…will be left unsaid for now.

Now then, last we left off, I (Colt) gave Jaune some advice on various topics. Girls being one of them. Will that lead to Arkos? Or will something else happen? Also, I (Colt) am on the run from Winter. What's the best way to escape her wrath? Go with Amber on a da-.

Colt and Amber: NOT A DATE!

Right. Sure. And now we get to see how that might turn out. :v

On with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY.

((My POV))

"Okay. This isn't a big deal."

"Keep telling yourself that."

"It's just a day in the city."

"With a beautiful woman."

"With a beautifu- Vert!"

"Remember, brat. Anything can happen. So be prepared."

Vert held out several packs of breath mints.

"You can never have too many."

…Okay, I admit, these might come in handy. I took them willingly.

He then held out a more embarrassing item.

"And this is just in case you two do the deed."

I immediately slapped the pack of condoms out of his hands. "YOU'RE NOT HELPING!"

"Of course I'm helping. I made sure Violet didn't find out about this."

"…Never mind. Thank you."

God, if Violet found out I was taking Amber out into the city, she'd blow it out of proportion more than Winter was doing with my cafeteria stunt.

"I'm also helping by making sure you're prepared."

He picked up the pack and held it out to me again. "Take it, my apprentice. Use them wisely."

I slapped it out of his hands again. "STOP THAT! That isn't happening!"

"You never know. Anything can happen on a first date."

"NOT THAT! AND THIS ISN'T EVEN A DATE!"

"Keep telling yourself that."

I deadpanned.

"…Fine," Vert sighed. "Don't take them. You'll regret it, believe me.

No, I'm pretty sure I'll regret bringing them. I am not about to have a condom on me, have Amber accidently find it, then have to spend an awkward amount of time trying to explain myself. I'm not going through that bullshit.

That argument done, I looked at myself in the mirror again.

"Brat, you've checked yourself seven times now. You look fine."

Do I? I wasn't really sure. I never was the kind of guy who cared too much about clothes. I just wore what was comfortable. Not sure why I care now. And no, it wasn't cause of Amber….

Okay, maybe a little.

Still, I felt like I looked alright. Band collar railroad stripe denim shirt with a taupe wooly lapel vest (Coco made sure I knew my clothes) over it. Dark blue jeans. A pair of short, dark brown, smooth leather 1000 Mile boots. And I may have combed my hair a bit…and sprayed a touch of cologne. Overall, yeah. I think I looked good. Guess spending all that time shopping with Coco really paid off. I'll have to thank her again sometime.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Vert pat my shoulder. "Don't worry, brat. I understand. It's perfectly natural to worry about what to wear when going on a date."

"This is not a date!"

"Again, keep telling yourself that."

Ugh….

"I don't suppose you could offer any suggestions about what I'm supposed to do? I only know cliché places to take her."

Like taking her to a movie or a restaurant. Or maybe a carnival, if there even is one.

"I would suggest that club we went to a while back," Vert began. "But I doubt you'd be well-received there."

Hey, Qrow was the one that beat up the henchmen! And you beat up the twins and owner!

"…Screw it," I shrugged. "I'll just wing it."

"Ah, of course. Because winging it always works."

"Shut up, old man."

Vert rolled his eyes. "Just get on your damn date, already."

"It's not a…never mind, you're right. I need to go."

Vert pat my shoulder. "Have fun, brat. And if it gets to that kind of fun, prepare for the regret of not listening to your master."

"That's not happening! Besides, we're going into the city! For a few hours, at most! During the day! Where would we even do it?!"

"Well, I hear they have love hotels."

Goddamn it.

((Winter POV))

Blast. Colt wasn't in the library. He must've heard I was coming and bolted. No matter. He can't hide from me forever. I'll just contact Amber again and-.

WHOOSH.

And Colt just slid right by me.

…

Wait a min-.

"COLT!"

Said fugitive slid to a stop and turned to me….

He smirked and blew a raspberry at me before hightailing it away from me.

"Why, that son of a-!"

I chased after him.

"YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE ME, REMINGTON!"

((Neo POV)

Alright, just make a right here. Jump through the open window. Annnnnnd-.

Shatter the illusion and hide!

I jumped inside a bush and watched as Winter jumped through the same window and looked around.

"Colt, when I find you, I will end you!"

Seeing that "Colt" was nowhere in sight, she growled loudly and pulled out her scroll. I pulled out my short-range scroll jammer and activated it.

"What? No signal? How?!"

She groaned and put her scroll away.

"Very well. I shall simply use my skillset and find him myself."

She summoned a glyph and hopped up to a high vantage point, probably to get a better view.

I silently giggled. Messing with Winter is so much fun. No wonder Qrow enjoys it so much. I'd have invited him to join in the fun if it wasn't for the fact Colt wanted his outing with Amber to be kept secret.

If I were any other woman, I might feel threatened about Colt and Amber being out together. Alone in the city. A small chance of some magic happening and bam! Colt is suddenly off the market.

Then again, I'm not just any other woman. I'm me. And I know this is just an innocent little outing…for Colt, anyway. For Amber…gotta say, she's smart. I'm sure she's wanted to get out for a while now, which I can understand. I'm stuck here too, but for different reasons. But I just know she waited until she could make sure it was Colt that took her. Clever girl….

But just wait until it's my turn with the guy. And my turn will come. I made extra sure of that.

Enough with that, though. Time to mess with Winter some more! I just hope Colt and Amber are already leaving by now.

((My POV))

"Sneaking, sneaking, sneaking, sneaking, sneaking."

I'm pretty sure me whispering that is giving away my position. Then again, Caboose managed it just fine, and he's an idiot. Besides, I'm invisible. If anything, anyone hearing me would just think they're hearing things.

"Alright…almost there…."

Aaaand, I have officially made it to the docks undetected. I have achieved Solid Snake levels of sneaking. No need for a cardboard box….

Fuck, now I wanna get a cardboard box. Maybe later.

I turned visible after a quick search of the area showed no Winter nearby.

"Alright, now to wait for Amber."

"Hey, Colt."

"Agh!"

Amber giggled behind me. "You startle way to easy."

I sighed and turned. "Well, maybe don't sneak up on me like-."

The rest of my sentence died in my throat at the sight of Amber. She wore a white silk shirt with a short black open-front sweater cardigan, the sleeves only going up to her elbows. Form-fitting blue skinny jeans covered her hips and legs, with some flat oxford sneaker shoes covering her feet.

Amber rubbed her arm. "Do I look alright?"

"You're hot."

…

Brain, if I could fire you, I would. Vince McMahon style.

"O-Oh," she blushed, smiling a little. "Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself."

"Oh, er, t-thanks."

Definitely need to thank Coco again.

I scratched my hair. "So, um…any specific thing you wanted to do in the city?"

She shrugged. "Not really. I just need to get out of here for a little while. We'll probably find something once we get to the city."

"…So basically winging it, then. Got it."

That earned a smirk and eyeroll from Amber as we entered the airship. We took our seats and relaxed as other students took some seats, likely wanting to go to the city for a while.

I took out my scroll and earphones. Might as well listen to some music on the way to the city.

"Ahem."

I turned to see Amber giving me a look, eyebrow raised and arms crossed.

"…What?"

"You're really going to listen to music and tune me out?"

"I wasn't going to-."

"Are you saying you'd rather listen to music than talk to me? Didn't anyone teach you how you're supposed to treat a lady?"

I deadpanned. "…Are you done?"

"Yeah, I'm good."

I rolled my eyes and held out an earbud. "Here. You can listen in, if you want."

"That's more like it."

I'm starting to wonder if I've become a pushover.

Amber put the earbud in her ear as I scrolled through the list of music I had.

"Can I pick?"

"No."

She gawked. "Why not?!"

"Because practically all of this music is stuff you've definitely never heard of."

I smirked. "In fact, you could say that it's…otherworldly."

Amber stared at me….

"You're not funny."

Everybody's a critic.

"Wait, you have music that's from your past home? Why didn't you use that as proof for yourself?!"

"Because I barely got it the night of Initiation."

She deadpanned. "You've had it for weeks and are just talking about it now?"

"Do you wanna listen to alien music or not?"

"Oh, absolutely."

"Then take the earbud, and stop being snippy."

Only Ahsoka can be snippy.

Amber rolled her eyes and took the earbud, putting it in her ear. I scrolled through the music list, trying to decide which one she wouldn't mind.

…

Ah. This seems like a good choice. A really good song from a cool band named after a chili pepper. I only knew of this song because I was a fan of wrestling back home.

I selected it and leaned back as the sound of a melodic guitar played through, which was followed by drums. The lyrics played.

Come to the side from the things that I tried

Were in my life just to get high on

When I sit alone

Come get a little known

But I need more than myself this time

Step from the road to the sea to the sky

And I do believe that we rely on

When I lay it on

Come get to play it on

All my life to sacrifice

"This actually sounds nice," Amber commented.

Damn right. Easily one of my top favorite songs.

Hey oh~

Listen what I say, oh~

I got your hey oh~

Now listen what I say, oh~

((Ozpin POV))

I sat in my almighty chair, a passive gaze aimed towards the video screen before me. It showed Colt Remington and Amber Autumn entering the departing airship to the city.

…So Amber has made the first move. Unexpected. I was betti- er, expecting the Neo girl to have made the first move. Though if Colt were to be believed on the girl's lack of clothing when she sleeps, then she technically would have. But I don't count that, as that is Neo's personal choice.

And yes, Colt did mention that Miss Neopolitan slept in the nude. He did so in the hopes of possibly making a different sleeping arrangement for the girl, as she sleeps that way every night. I, of course, denied his request, citing the following.

"A Huntsman must endure many perilous challenges in their career, Mr. Remington. A Huntsman you may not be, a challenge it is for you all the same. Fear not, for I believe you will overcome the temptation that is your roommate."

Colt responded in the most appropriate way at the time.

"I hate you."

Heh.

In any case, I suppose I should make a note of this in my drawing board. The Fall Maiden has struck first, with the Diminutive Temptation and Snow Soldier sure to follow in the coming times….

What? I like being dramatic in my shipping. Besides, it's the only reason I won't bother to tell Winter, Glynda, or anyone else of Colt and Amber's departure during work hours. Let them have their fun.

And while I would certainly take issue with the Fall Maiden leaving the confines of the academy when dark forces are still after her…I believe I can trust Colt to aid her, should they strike….

And, well, my inner shipper may or may not be influencing my decision. In any case, I wish them a fun time. I'll be sure to give them all of my pity when they are scolded later. Even though I'll most likely join in on the scolding.

Now then, where did I leave my shipping notes?

((My POV))

Amber and I got off the airship once it landed at the Vale landing port. We had gotten to listen to at least two more songs during the ride. Of my choosing, of course. And thankfully, she liked the last two.

"What is Gang Ham Style, anyway? And why couldn't I understand it?"

"Gangnam style, Amber. And because it's K-pop."

"You say that like I'm supposed to know what that means."

"Basically, music by a foreign musician. Which sometimes is in another language. You have to admit it sounds catchy."

"…You got me there."

I admit that while I was listening to that, I tried to imagine the video using Remnant characters. The only one I could see being Psy is Ren. As for the extras…um…okay, I didn't think about every little detail. Mainly Ren being Psy, Sun being that guy that does the nut thing above Psy, and Blake or Nora being the girl that gets her literal ass screamed at by Psy.

Haha. Hilarious.

In any case, it was time to wing it like I said earlier. And by that, I mean continue walking aimlessly though the city with Amber until I find us something to do. And despite the smile on her face indicating she's just happy to be out in the city, I'm not about to take too long to find something.

Let's see…um-.

Grrrrrr.

…Fuck.

Amber giggled. "Was that you? Cause that wasn't me."

"W-Well," I said, cheeks warming a little. "I-I might have…missed lunch."

"Why's that?"

"Well, I apparently can't trust Ruby or Jaune to LOOK AFTER ANYTHING!"

"Calm down, damn. No need to shout."

I grumbled.

Amber hummed. "I didn't really get to go on my lunch break either, now that I think about it."

…Welp, it's as good a start as any.

"Wanna grab a bite, then?" I asked.

Amber smiled. "Sure."

Well that settles it! Now we just need-.

"There's a pizza place right over there."

Wow, convenience is being very kind to me today. And I appreciate it. Plus, pizza! Fuck yeah!

"Perfect," I grinned.

With that in mind, we moved towards the pizza place.

When we got closer, I noticed the name of the pizza joint. Vale CIty Pizzeria….

Not a very creative name, but meh.

When we went inside, we found that it was the kind of pizza joint that didn't have a sort of arcade in it for kids. Like Peter Piper or Chuck-E-Cheese. Not that I went to the latter. Never actually went there, now that I think about it. Though I do remember the commercials. Cartoon mouse trying to be cool.

Nah, it was more like Pizza Hut. Or one of those other pizza joints trying to be fancy. Either way, hope there's a booth available. I like booth seats. Always took the chance to lay down on one when I was a kid.

"Ah, hello there," the front guy greeted. "There's a booth available over there."

Hooray for more convenience!

We were taken to the booth and given two menus to look at. We ordered our drinks and an extra-large mega-pepperoni (that's a lot of pepperoni) pizza with extra cheese. While the order was being made, Amber and I sat in an awkward silence….

"So…."

Well shit. Guess neither of us know what to talk about. We're both awkward! Just like Ruby and Jaune! Hooraaaaaaay….

I was being sarcastic there, if nobody caught that.

But seriously, I need to end this awkward silence somehow.

"So," I started. "…How about them Cowboys?"

Amber blinked. "Huh?"

Damn it, Colt. Really? Football? That's what you come up with? On a world where there's no football? And yes, I checked. Remnant doesn't have football. Go figure.

"Um…yeah, I don't know what to say."

Amber giggled. "That's okay. Me neither."

Figured as much.

"But who are the Cowboys?"

"Just a sports team from back home," I answered, waving it off. "Not important."

"Ah."

Alright, then. What the hell could we talk about? I'm not about to let an awkward silence reign again. Think, Colt, think.

…

Wow, I'm an idiot. It was so simple that I should've thought of it sooner.

"Hey, um, Amber?"

Said Maiden raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?"

"It's just…well, being that I'm supposed to be your bodyguard, I surprisingly know very little about you."

Then again, I don't really know anything about any of the people/characters I'm currently associating with. The show wasn't exactly long in terms of episode length. And not much of that was devoted to exploring the characters in depth sometimes. Amber is the best example of this.. She was basically a throwaway plot device meant to introduce the Maidens.

Amber crossed her arms and smirked. "I could say the same about you."

…Well, she's not wrong. I never really got a chance to say much about it. Mainly because I never saw a point. The past was the past, and I tended to move on from it and not look back.

I shrugged. "Didn't see a point, really. Plus, no one ever asked. And…I honestly don't feel like revisiting that time."

"Why?"

"…Let's just say I was a completely different person than I am today."

In more ways than one.

I sipped my soda. "…So, um…tell me about yourself?"

Amber giggled. "Why'd you phrase that as a question?"

"…I used to be a quiet person…it's coming back at the worst possible time."

"I'll say," Amber smiled. "But if you really wanna know, I guess I can 'give you my life story'."

For the show, it would be referred to as "backstory". But still, this ought to be interesting.

Amber flicked her straw lightly. "Hmm…where to start…."

"Well, what was your life like before…well, you-know-what?"

Definitely not smart to mention her Maiden power aloud.

"I was born outside the Kingdom," Amber began. "Lived near a small village called Arcadia. My dad was a farmer, and my mom was a Huntress. So, you can guess where I grew up."

I blinked. "…So you're-."

"A farm girl, yeah. Formerly, anyway."

Huh…sort of like me, then. Accept I only had a few years. She lived most her life on a farm.

I tried to imagine Amber in farm girl clothing…course, the pervert in me chose the clothing to be a "farm girl" gingham top, along with form-fitting blue jeans that would certainly show off her a-.

"Colt?"

Ah shit, I was fantasizing.

"S-Sorry, continue."

Amber raised an eyebrow, but continued.

"It was a good life, for the most part. We had the occasional Grimm attack, but my mom always took care of it. When I told my parents I wanted to become a Huntress, it was her that trained me. And Dad always watched, giving his support. And when the time came, I applied and got accepted into Beacon."

Of course. It's always Beacon. Because that's where the main characters go. It's the center of universe. Not really, but hyperbole and all that.

"My team's name was Grass (GRAS). An all-girl team. Wasn't the leader, but that didn't bother me. We were easily among the top ranked during our years. Tried for the number one spot, but we never got there. There was always a better team. After we graduated, we went our separate ways."

"You still keep in touch with them?"

"…Not anymore. Being a Maiden comes with some drawbacks."

"Oh…."

I quickly looked around. There weren't many people around us, and none of them were Faunus, so I guess-.

"Speaking of," I whispered. "How exactly did you become the Fall Maiden, anyway?"

Amber frowned. "…My mother was always able to defend Dad and me from the Grimm. Every single time. Always blowing them away. Burning them…hitting them with lightning…."

"Your mother was the Maiden before you?"

"Yeah…."

"So then….oh."

"Yeah."

"…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-."

"It's fine," she smiled sadly. "It wasn't too recent, and I don't let it bring me down too much."

"How long exactly were you the Fall Maiden?"

She hummed. "About…a year and a half, actually."

"A year and a-. So you weren't the Maiden when we first met?"

She chuckled. "No. I was on a mission with Qrow during my final year at Beacon. My team was so jealous that I got to team up with the 'Legendary Qrow'."

Pfft. Legendary, my ass.

"I'm pretty sure they wanted to sleep with him, too."

Ugh. Figures. Qrow the "ladies man". But he's better at it than Neptune, at least. Wonder what would happen if Neptune got some pointers from Qrow? Chaos, I'm sure.

"Did you want to sleep with him, too?" I asked

Amber glared at me.

"Right, sorry I asked."

She rolled her eyes as we sipped our sodas.

…

"You didn't deny it, though."

She kicked my shin.

"ACK!"

"Not funny."

"N-Noted."

Amber continued. "After becoming a Maiden, I pretty much 'disappeared'. Couldn't really be seen too much, and I had to travel a lot. Both inside and outside the Kingdom."

"Huh…must've been lonely."

Amber sighed. "It was…."

I put my hand on hers and smiled. "Well, you're not alone anymore. You've got me and the others. Especially Violet. She really likes hanging out with you."

She giggled. "Yeah. Violet's really sweet. You know, she still tries to get me to go out with you…along with a few other women at Beacon. Hell, she even tried Glynda once."

I groaned into my hand. "Ugh. Don't remind me. It was completely awkward when she told me."

For me, anyway. Glynda just brushed it off. Even made a light jab at my expense. On the bright side, it wouldn't be awkward.

"I swear, it's like she's made it her lifelong mission to fix my love life."

"She just wants you to be happy."

That, and a mother. But that was left unsaid by the both of us.

"If she knew we were out like this, she'd be over the moon about it."

Ain't that the truth?

Speaking of Violet…wonder what she's doing now?

(Violet POV)

"I know my sister is among you."

"We don't know what you're talking about."

"Are you lying to the hall monitor?"

"We have no reason to."

"Well, my detective skills tell me that my sister is here."

"And what makes you say that?"

"Well for one thing-." I pointed at Ruby. "There's a big lump under Ruby's cape."

The lump meeped.

Weiss facepalmed. "Why you thought she could hide there successfully, I'll never know."

"M-My cape is pretty big."

I hopped onto the seat, then the table, then moved in front of Ruby.

"Velvet, I know you're hiding there."

"…I'm sorry, Velvet isn't here right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep."

So she want's to do this the hard way…mmkay.

I took out my baton and poked the lump.

"Hey, quit it!"

I poked it three more times.

"Stop it!"

"Are you coming out?"

"No!"

"You know, either you or Ruby will have to leave for class eventually. And my Daddy says I'm a very patient little bunny."

…

The cape was removed, and Velvet sighed.

"I blame Colt for this."

"Please refrain from placing unnecessary blame on any third parties."

Yang whistled. "Wow, she can sure talk like a cop for a six-year-old."

"I watched some cop videos on my scroll. Now then, time for my big sister's interrogation."

Said sister groaned. "Do you have to call it that?"

"Yes."

Her ears drooped.

I pulled out a flashlight and shined it in her face. "Where were you in the day of today?"

"…What?"

Yeah, that question does seem confusing. I don't know why Daddy wanted me to include that if I ever interrogated someone. Something about a starfish? Weird.

"Let me try again. Where were you during your lunchtime?"

"Um…here?"

Okay, good. We're getting somewhere.

"Now then, who is this Cardin person my Daddy mentioned?"

Velvet froze. "…N-No one important, Violet. C-Certainly not someone you need to look for."

"That sounds like I need to look for him."

"NO!"

I flinched at the shout. Not just from Velvet, but from RWBY and JNPR as well.

Velvet grabbed my shoulders and stared intensely. "Violet. Under no circumstances are you to go near Team CRDL."

"Ah, so it's the whole team, then?"

"Yes. I mean, no! Don't go near them!"

"Why not?"

Blake set her book down. "Look, it's not a good idea for you to go near them. They bullied your sister and…pulled on her ears like they were toys. They don't look kindly on the Faunus, like many others in the world. And given you're Velvet's sister, they might see you as an easier target. None of us want that to happen."

Weiss nodded. "Exactly. So why don't you forget about them and sit with us. Next to me, specifically."

She's right. That was very specific. So specific, that it made the others give her blank stares. Velvet's was more of a frown, though.

"Wow, Weiss," Yang drawled. "Way to be subtle."

"Quiet you."

I shook my head. "No thanks. I need to continue the investigation."

Velvet groaned into her hands. "Violet, I just said you need to stay away from them! And Blake already explained what happened, so there's nothing to investigate."

"They need to be punished by Mr. Taser. Only then will the investigation end."

Velvet's face hit the table.

"I kinda wanna see that," Yang hummed.

"Me too!" Nora seconded.

"Nora, no."

"Why must you always say that, Ren?"

"Past experience."

Those two seem like they'd be great together. Maybe I'll get them together once I find a special someone for Daddy?

"Mmkay," I beamed. "If you two help me, you can be temporary deputies."

"Yes!" Nora and Yang exclaimed.

"No!" Velvet and Weiss countered.

"Can I be a deputy, too?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby?!"

"Sure!"

"Yay!"

Velvet turned to the two quiet ones. "Ren! Blake! Say something!"

Blake returned to her book. "I've already said all I can. And it's nearly impossible to convince Yang to not go through with something. She'll just drag me along."

Ren sighed. "Same with me. Nora will be Nora. I can only tag along."

Yay! More people siding with me!

Velvet turned to Pyrrha with a frantic look. "P-Please talk them out of it?"

I quickly gave the nice lady my signature puppy eyes look.

…

"W-Well," Pyrrha started. "I-If we happened to be there to make sure nothing happened, then-."

"Yay!" I cheered.

Velvet sulked. "Pyrrha, why~?"

Pyrrha shrugged helplessly.

Weiss huffed. "If you all intend to go through with this, then I may as well follow along. To make sure nothing happens to Violet."

Awww. And people say Weiss is a meanie? They're so wrong!

I hugged Weiss. "Thank you!"

The squeal she let out before hugging back was really loud.

Velvet quickly turned to the only person that hasn't voiced his opinion yet, Jaune. She was even using- hey, that's my puppy eye look!

I quickly marched up to Jaune and gave him my own puppy eyes.

He just stared. "…Yeah, um, I have seven sisters. That doesn't really work on me anymore."

Phooey….

It was at that point that Team RWBY was suddenly staring intently at Jaune. So intently that he suddenly developed a nervous sweat. It didn't help that Nora creepily moved towards his ear and whispered menacingly.

"Give in to peer pressure, fearless leaderrrrrr."

…

Jaune gulped. "W-well, I've always wondered what it would be like to be a deputy."

Victory!

Velvet sighed in defeat. "I guess there's no stopping this. I'll go along, too."

"Me, too. Velvs and I need to have a little chat."

My sister froze.

"Oh, hey Coco!"

"Hey, mini-Velvs."

Why does everyone keep calling me that?

Coco gave Velvet a look. "So, Velvs…care to tell me why this is the first I'm hearing about this?"

I think my sister did a no-no, if her nervous sweat is anything to go by.

((Amber POV))

I leaned beside the men's bathroom door of the pizza place, a smirk on my face as the sound of Colt's retching was heard.

"See? This is what happens when you eat too fast."

"I-I was hungryyyyyy."

"So was I. But I have something called 'self-control'. You should try it sometime."

More retching was his response.

Heh.

The sound of a toilet flushing followed, then came the sound of rushing water from a sink. Guess he's done.

The water stopped…but he didn't come out.

"Colt?"

"Jush a shecun."

…The hell?

It was another minute or two before he finally came out…and his cheeks were puffed out. Not in the sense he was miffed, but in the sense that his mouth was full.

"Colt, what do you have in your mouth?"

"…Nuthin'."

I narrowed my eyes. "Open your mouth."

"Nu."

I elbowed his gut.

"Mmph!"

He ended up spitting out a few…breath mints? And his mouth was still full.

"…I'm pretty sure you don't need that many."

"Id wurged fur Shturfur."

"What?"

He munched on the multiple mints in his mouth and swallowed.

"I said, it worked for Starfire."

"I don't know who that is."

"Long story short, a fictional alien princess with orange skin."

I stared at him.

"A comic book character," he added. "From back home."

Ah.

He blew into his hand and sniffed. "…Oh hey, it worked. Neat. Cartoon logic wins again!"

"I don't think you're supposed to rely on that."

"Amber, Remnant literally gives the laws of physics the middle finger. Don't deny me the only logic that seems to work in this crazy world."

I deadpanned. "…Sure. Okay."

"Great!" he grinned. "So now that I've puked my guts out, what do you wanna do next?"

I tapped my chin with a hum….

"Arcade?"

"Hell yeah."

"Jeez, I haven't been to one of these places since Peter Piper."

"Where?"

"A pizza place."

"Ah."

"Though, this is actually my first time in an actual arcade. You?"

I shrugged. "Not since my days at Beacon. My old team and I would stop by a few times during our first year for a break, but the other years got a little too busy for us to bother with this kind of place."

Still, it looks mostly the same. Though there are a few new arcade games that I can see. Like that huge shooter game I'm looking at right now. Grimm Infestation. Seems like fun.

"Oh shit! They have this, too?!"

Huh?

I turned to find Colt tapping excitedly on an arcade game that seemed to be about capturing bees. There was a lever where you could move the "net" to capture several balls that were yellow with back stripes.

"This game was my childhood!" Colt exclaimed. "I need tokens! Wait, this is an actual arcade. Quarters! Wait, are quarters a thing? Why didn't I pay attention to that all these years?!"

Colt's getting way too excited for this.

"Change! I need change!"

"Colt!"

He flinched. "Huh? What?"

"Calm down, jeez."

He blinked…then turned a sheepish red.

"Er, sorry. I was…this game was a part of my childhood. I'm surprised to see it here."

"In an arcade?"

"In Remnant."

Once again, ah.

"Anyway, CHANGE!"

Colt was now trying to insert a Lien into the coin machine.

"Damn it all, get in there! This was so much simpler with dollar bills."

While Colt was busy acting like a kid again, I took another look around the place. It was mostly teens, but there were a few kids and young adults also. One teen was apparently mocking one of the young adults for being too old to be there. All the guy did was stand up- wow, he was huge. And I think the teen wet his pants.

Hah.

"Change!"

I turned back to find that Colt had finally gotten his change and started playing the bumblebee catching game.

"One Yang and Blake, two Yang and Blake. Three, four, five, six Yang and Blake."

Yang and Blake? Aren't those two students back at Beacon? What do they have to do with bumblebees?

"Hah! High score! Suck it, people!"

Everyone surprisingly took the time to deadpan at Colt before returning to their games and friends.

I slowly clapped. "Congratulations, Colt. You got a high score on a game for kids. This is a true achievement on your part."

"In the immortal words of a badass butler," Colt retorted. "Sarcasm is unbecoming of you."

Before I could make my own retort, Colt gasped and pointed across the arcade.

"Holy shit, TIME CRISIS?!"

Colt barreled through several people (I apologized to each one as I followed) and quickly inspected the game before him.

"Let's see. Two generic shooter characters…a pedal to press on for hiding or stepping out…plastic gun with a wire…yup, this is Time Crisis!"

Colt pat his pockets. "…I need more change."

Oh boy.

"Colt, wai-."

"CHANGE!"

Colt once again barreled through the same people who had barely got up from the earlier barreling. He also once again had trouble with the coin machine.

"Damn it! Lien suck."

Once he finally got the change, he, for a third time, barreled through the same people just a few seconds ago. I'm surprised that they haven't tried to strangle Colt for all that…not that I would've let them. After all, large gusts of wind always blow through the entrance door, right?

Colt quickly put in the change into the slot…then put in more change in the second slot.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"What do you think? You're joining me."

"…Why?"

"Amber, come on. It'll be fun!"

I pursed my lips. "…Fine."

"Awesome! Also, we're playing till the end of the game. So we might be here a while."

"Do we even have enough change for that?"

Colt grinned and placed a large chunk of coins on the counter.

"Taken care of."

"Is this much really necessary?"

"If this game is anything like the one I remember, then yes."

He pat the station next to him. "Come on. It'll be fun."

…I shrugged. "Eh, why not?"

Besides, this game seems simple enough. And while I use a staff and dust crystal, I know how to aim. And Colt uses a gun himself. I'm sure we can beat this game quickly. With no problems, whatsoever.

((One hour later))

"HOW ARE WE ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH THIS DAMN GAME?!"

"BECAUSE SOMEONE WON'T USE THE FUCKING PEDAL TO HIDE!"

"OH, LIKE YOU'RE SO PERFECT IN DODGING THE BULLETS YOURSELF!"

"I NEVER SAID I WAS A PRO AT THIS! I JUST WANNA BEAT THIS DAMN GAME FOR ONCE!"

"YOUR WEAPON IS LITERALLY PART REVOLVER! YOU SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS!"

"IT'S THE TIMING!"

"BULLSHIT!"

Yeah, this game turned out to be not as easy as I thought. Also, we were kinda drawing a crowd with our yelling.

"Those two argue like an old married couple," I heard someone whisper, making me blush and get distracted long enough to get hit in the game, losing my last life.

"DAMN IT!"

I reached for some coins…only to find none.

"COLT, WE'RE OUT!"

"FUCK! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, ALREADY!"

All our yelling finally managed to draw out the arcade manager.

"Sir, ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you two to keep it down. You're causing too much commotion."

Colt chose to give a proper response to the manager. That being a pistol-whip to the face via the fake gun, knocking the man unconscious.

…

"COLT, WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"HE SNUCK UP ON ME!"

"HE DID NO SUCH THING!"

While we were yelling, Colt's character got hit, losing his last life.

"DAMN IT!"

"Ahem."

Colt and I turned to find two large men in attires that make them seem like bouncers at a club…kinda makes me wonder what goes on in this arcade that requires bouncers.

"Alright, you two are done."

"Don't lump me in with him!"

"Et tu, Amber?"

One of the men growled. "Be glad we aren't being more forceful after you knocked out our boss. Now leave."

"Yeah," the other nodded. "Get lost before we throw you out, see?"

Colt, apparently still high on adrenaline from the game, decided to call them out on it.

"You're bluffing."

((Third POV))

Bird chirping could be heard from a frontal view of the arcade.

…

Then focus was put at an odd angle on the entrance, which showed Colt Remington getting thrown out.

"AAGH!"

The sound of Colt landing face down on the ground followed.

((My POV)

…

Okay, they weren't bluffing. Silver lining? Now I know how Jazz and Will (and Uncle Phil that one time) felt whenever they get thrown out of some place.

I quickly got up and turned around to give those two a piece of my mind.

"AAGH!"

"OOF!"

Only for Amber to have been thrown out as well, and subsequently crash into me. This resulted in…a rather awkward position for us. I mean, a girl sprawled over a guy? Cliché, but awkward nonetheless. We both turned beet red and scrambled off and away from each other.

I cleared my throat. "R-Right, um…hey, wait a minute. Why through her out? She yelled, yes, but that's about it!"

One of the bouncers appeared in the entranceway. "We throw everyone out. Man, woman, child. Doesn't matter. They're all just functions."

"What the fu-?"

"Also, guilt by association."

"…Why does this place even have bouncers? What goes on here that requires that?!"

"More than I thought, less than you think."

"What does that even mean?!"

"It means shut up."

And with that, the bouncer put a poster on the door and shut it. The poster had a picture of Amber and me, with the words "BANNED" in bold red.

…

"Banned from an arcade," I said flatly. "Never thought that would happen to me."

"Or me," Amber added, a little agitated….

Oh, right. Whoops.

I chuckled sheepishly. "Er…sorry about that. Didn't mean to get you banned from this place."

Amber sighed. "No, it's fine. It was getting a little heated in there anyway. Something that started with you, by the way."

I winced. "…Okay, I might have gotten overexcited."

"Might have?"

"It was a childhood game I loved. Don't judge me."

"I'm judging you."

Ugh.

I pulled out a pack of cigarettes and tapped one out. I put it in my mouth, took out my lighter, lit the cig, and took a puff.

"You know smoking's bad for you, right?"

"I'm agitated. This calms me down."

"That doesn't mean you have to develop a bad habit."

"I'm not there yet. I'm fine."

"Said every smoker ever."

Double ugh.

I sighed out a cloud of smoke (away from Amber, of course) and took a look around.

"…Well, the arcade was a bust. Anything else come to mind?"

Amber hummed. "…Well, there was this movie I heard about called Try Hard 2: Try Harderer. Never saw the first one, but they say you don't have to see it to enjoy this one."

Try Hard…Die Hard…is there anything else that Remnant rips off from Earth?

I shrugged. "Sure. I'm down for that."

I made to move, only for Amber to grab my shoulder.

"Huh? What?"

She wordlessly pointed at my cigarette….

Triple ugh.

I rolled my eyes and dropped the cigarette, then stepped on it to put it out.

"There. Happy?"

"Very."

I grunted and moved along with Amber, idly checking my scroll for the location of the movie theater. Hopefully this won't be a bust like the arcade.

((Third POV))

Bird chirping could be heard from a frontal view of the theater.

…

Then focus was put at an odd angle on the entrance, which showed Colt Remington getting thrown out.

"AAGH!"

The sound of Colt landing face down on the ground followed.

"AAGH!"

Amber was subsequently thrown out as well, landing on Colt's back.

"My back," Colt groaned.

"S-Sorry," Amber apologized.

((My POV))

Amber and I got up and pat any dust off us. We turned to find the door slammed shut, a poster of our faces hanging on it with a bold red "BANNED".

Amber deadpanned at me.

"What? How was I supposed to know the manager here was the other manager's twin brother?!"

She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Well, another bust."

"…You know what? No. We're getting in there."

"And how exactly do you suppose we do that?"

"You're talking to a guy who can literally turn invisible."

"That's you. What about me?"

…A valid question.

"…Give me your hand. I wanna try something."

She raised an eyebrow, but otherwise held out her hand to me. I grabbed it with my own and concentrated. I could feel my Semblance overtake me as I turned invisible….

Amber was still visible, though.

I tried channeling my Semblance towards her. I could feel it moving, but…it was like it hit a roadblock whenever it reaches my hand. Like, it won't leave so as to envelop Amber.

…Damn it.

"Well, that didn't work," I sighed, turning visible.

"What?"

"I was trying to make you invisible with me. Guess it didn't work."

For now, anyway. I'm definitely looking into it later. If I could make other people invisible, that would definitely help a lot in the future.

"Alright, new plan," I stated. "I'll sneak in through the front. You wait at a back entrance for me to open it for you. Then we sneak into…whatever movie we want, since we couldn't buy tickets."

Amber smirked. "You just like adding to your list of crimes, don't you?"

"Don't even start, Amber."

…

"And don't tell Winter about any of this! That'll just add fuel to the fire…the completely unnecessary fire."

Amber giggled. "I won't."

"Good. Go wait by the back entrance. I'll open it for you in a bit."

"Got it."

We both went in opposite directions, only to end up yanked back together.

"Ack!"

"Whoa!"

We turned back and found that I was still holding her hand…her rather warm hand….

I quickly let go. "S-Sorry."

"It's fine," she smiled, a noticeable tint of pink on her cheeks.

"…Right! Um…I'll just go then."

Wanting to get away from the awkwardness, I quickly turned invisible and secretly followed a family heading into the theater.

((Three minutes later))

I opened the back entrance door.

"I have completed my epic quest. Please enter, fair maiden."

Amber giggled and stepped through. "Congratulations, dark knight."

I raised an eyebrow. "Dark knight?"

"You broke into a theater. What did you expect?"

"…" I made my voice go gritty and hoarse. "I'm Batman."

"What?"

"Nothing," I said, my voice back to normal. "Yeah, I see your point."

Amber and I moved down the theater hallway, looking at the posters for upcoming movies.

"Pacific Grimm…wow, really?"

"What?" Amber asked.

"There's a movie called Pacific Rim…I know there's supposedly Remnant rip-offs here, but that title is just unimaginative."

Amber shrugged. "If you think so. Though there's a rumor that the fight scenes in the movie were actually filmed on the spot with actual giant Grimm."

I stopped. "…Giant Grimm?"

Amber nodded. "Yeah. Bigger than a skyscraper. And they apparently used some Atlas giant mech for the movie. Not sure how they convinced Atlas to use one of their largest machines for a movie, though. Probably a PR stunt."

Giant Grimm…giant robots….

What the hell, Remnant?!

"Are you okay?" Amber asked. "You look like you're having a mental breakdown."

"I-I'm fine. Just…need to process the idea of giant Grimm and giant robots being a thing."

"They weren't back home?"

"No…well, maybe not yet? I don't know. I only saw three volumes."

Really pissed now that I didn't get to see whatever RWBY had in store for the future before I kicked the bucket. First Adam not actually leading the whole White Fang, then Raven being the leader of a bandit tribe in Mistral, now giant Grimm and giant robots.

Again, what the hell, Remnant?! What's next? There's a genie in a lamp? Salem's immortal? Gods exist?!

…

Then again, I've met the literal Buddha twice now, so I'm not sure that last one would really surprise me.

"Which movie should we see?" Amber asked, staring at the row of doors that led to screenings of current movies playing.

I looked at the top of each. There was one called Little Bunny Fufu….

If I manage to get myself unbanned from here, I'm taking Violet to see this.

Another was called The Hunts-Man Rises….

Batman ripoff, much?

Another was…Dog Rain? The fuck is that? Never mind. I don't wanna know.

Another wa- oh hey, the Try Hard movie!

"Found it," I said, pointing.

Amber grinned. "Perfect."

We entered the screen room and found only the trailers playing. Thank god for that. Would've been pissed if I missed any of the movie. Only real downside is that we don't have popcorn or drinks. Can't really risk being seen just to get some snacks, so…yeah.

I led Amber to the middle of the middle row of the screen room. That's the best kind of seat, in my opinion. Not too close, not too far. And no need to watch from an angle. Perfect balance for the movie-viewing experience.

"I haven't seen the first one," I whispered to Amber.

"Really?" She whispered back. "You missed out, then."

Probably…unless this and the previous one are actually Remnant rip-offs of Die Hard 1 and 2. In which case, probably not.

I leaned back in my seat as the movie started. Guess I'll find out soon.

((Winter POV))

Regardless of what a certain drunk thinks, I am a woman of patience, grace, and reason. While I have been referred to as "headstrong" and "stubborn", I only seem that way because I hold my beliefs very close to my heart. Beliefs cemented over years in the military.

Through those years, I have learned to keep a level head in high stress situations. Patience in the wake of chaos. And while a certain drunk fool and a height-challenged "ally" have certainly tested that patience, I have learned to be even more patient thanks to encounters with those two.

Therefore, I am less prone to "lose my cool", as they say, when someone choses to blatantly aggravate me when they won't STOP RUNNING!

"CEASE YOUR RUNNING, OR I WILL CASTRATE YOU, REMINGTON!"

…In spite of my loud threat, I am actually calm and tactical at the moment. While Colt is a capable man, he still finds himself on the losing end when it comes to "scary women" as it goes. Therefore, my threat clearly should've made him stop his attempt to escape me and surrender.

Instead, he turned his head back and stuck his tongue out at me while pulling on the bottom of his eye.

...

…

Once I catch him, I will be sure to smack him upside the head many times.

I utilized my Semblance and summoned a flock of small Nevermores.

"Get him."

The flock soared towards the wanted fugitive. Colt turned back and grinned, then ran faster until he reached the end of the hallway. He paused at a classroom door, then quickly opened it when the flock neared.

Many students were quite surprised when a flock of white Nevermores suddenly appeared and flew wildly around.

"Blast!" I cursed, quickly dispelling of the summon. The flock disappeared as Colt closed the door, that infuriating grin still on his face.

I glared. "Colt, this has gone on long enough. You will surrender now so that I may deliver a fitting punishment for your horrid behavior this day."

Colt actually seemed to think about it….

He promptly flipped me off with both hands.

…

I'm going to kill him. He will die a slow and painful death.

I summoned several Alpha Beowolves in front of me.

"Hunt."

They swarmed on Colt like a pack of hyenas. Though it did little to deter the man. If anything, he seemed amused by it.

He reached to his side and withdrew his weapons, shifting them into their miniature scythe forms. He quickly swung it, impaling one of my summons in the eye, then yanking it downward. The summon fell quickly. He then swung his other mini-scythe towards the second summon, slitting its throat and following with an impalement up its jaw.

For the third, Colt leaped back a little to dodge its pouncing swipe. He then frontflipped above the summon with a surprising amount of grace, landing on it's back and driving one of his mini-scythes into the back of its head. It fell quickly. He continued his graceful slaughter of the other summons.

…I never knew Colt was that agile. He's no rookie, mind you, but this kind of grace and agility isn't something I'd attribute to him, given how he fights. If anything, this skill reminds me more of Neo's agility.

…

And now that I think about it, that infuriating smirk of his reminds me a lot of that intolerable annoyance. And now that I think about it, he hasn't uttered a single word in the entirety of this….

Oh, son of a Grimm whore!

That's it! This ends now!

I formed an enhancement glyph behind me, then launched myself straight towards "Colt" as "he" leaped into the air over the last summon. "He" was certainly surprised to see me suddenly in front of "him". I kneed "him" in the gut, earning an soft grunt. I then backhanded "his" face with the hilt of my rapier, knocking "him" back to the ground. I quickly landed and pinned "him" down, my blade pointed as "his" neck.

"I know it's you, Neo," I grit out.

"Colt" stared up at me…then smirked, and "he" suddenly sparkled, the disguise fading away and revealing the miniature delinquent.

HEY WINTER. WHAT'S UP?

Rather than question how she had that written out so quickly, I simply moved the point of my blade closer to her neck, my glare deadly.

"No more games. Tell me where Colt is, now."

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?

Playing innocent, are we?

"I don't know what Colt promised you, but I'm done playing games. Tell me where he is, or you'll find out just how I earned my Specialist rank."

Neo pursed her lips in thought….

WELL, I'VE DONE MY PART. I GUESS I CAN TELL YOU.

I almost want her to resist more, just so I can wipe that look off her face.

HE AND AMBER WENT OUT ON A DATE.

…

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"

COLT AND AMBER WENT OUT ON A DATE.

"…I'm sorry, I seem to have trouble understanding what you're-."

COLT. AMBER. OUT ON A DATE. TOGETHER. ALONE. IN VALE. WHAT AREN'T YOU GETTING?

…

"So," I said, surprisingly calm. "What you're saying is that Colt and Amber, the latter of whom is targeted by a secret organization, have left their assigned stations for Vale…on a date?"

…OH RIGHT. YEAH, I GUESS THEY ARE SKIPPING OUT ON WORK, AREN'T THEY? PLAYING HOOKY OR WHATEVER. JUST FOR SOME POTENTIAL HANKY PANKY!

My mind shattered a bit at that. I was suddenly overcome with the rage of a thousand Grimm. My body shaking. Teeth grinding. Eyes constricting. Angry veins pulsing. Negativity practically oozing from my very being. All aimed at one man.

TO BE FAIR, THOUGH, I'M SURE COLT CAN KEEP AMBER SA-.

"RAAAAAARRGH!"

BOOM!

((Neo POV))

I blinked in surprise at the Winter-shaped hole the wall leading outside….

That went well, I think.

I peered out the hole to find Winter's sheep suddenly speeding away from Beacon.

…Wow, that was fast. She must be really pissed.

"REMINGTON, I WILL MURDER YOU!"

…Yup, she's pissed. Also, she can really shout if I was able to hear her all the way over here.

The door to the classroom behind me opened, and that one teacher who drinks way too much coffee reared his head out.

"What was that shout?!" Oobleck exclaimed. "It sounded like a harpy screeching in rage!"

…He's not wrong, in my opinion.

OH, IT'S NOTHING. WINTER'S GONNA KILL COLT, IS ALL.

"…Ah. Coworker drama. Carry on, then!"

He returned to his class.

I shook my head and stood back up, patting myself of dust.

…To be fair, I probably shouldn't have called Colt and Amber's outing a "date". They certainly don't see it as one. But I just couldn't resist. The look on Winter's face and her reaction was priceless! Plus, I'm pretty sure she's pissed for more than just Colt and Amber playing Hooky and Amber being out when she's being hunted by Cinder and company. I doubt she'd admit it, though. Winter doesn't seem like the type of person to outwardly be all lovey dovey…or at all, really. But her reaction proved otherwise.

I shrugged and started skipping away.

I'm sure Colt will be…alive. Yeah, alive. Let's go with that. And he'll probably get all the flack while Amber only gets a slap on the wrist. Poor Colt.

On the bright side, at least he only has to worry about Winter, right?

((Earlier))

Colt: Hey, Neo? Mind doing me a favor?

Neo: Depends. What kind?

Colt: Well, I'm sneaking myself and Amber out of Beacon for a couple of hours. To have fun in Vale and stuff. I was hoping you could distract Winter since she's kinda hunting me down like a criminal.

Neo: Yeah, I saw that video. Didn't know you could be so criminal. Kinda turns me on, actually.

Colt: It's not a crime! And did you have to add that last part?

Neo: Yes. Also, assaulting students isn't a crime?

Colt: Don't go Winter on me!

Neo: Lol.

…

Neo: Fine, I'll distract her for you. But it'll cost you two favors.

Colt: Why two?

Neo: Because I said so. Take it or leave it.

Colt: Ugh. Fine. Two favors. Jeez, am I gonna owe everyone favors or something?

Neo: Probably. Have fun on your date!

Colt: IT'S NOT A DATE!

Neo: Keep telling yourself that. ;)

((Present; ? POV))

"Report."

"The targets snuck into the theater. I see them entering one of the screen rooms."

"Which film are they seeing?"

"Try Hard 2: Try Harderer."

Hmph. Harderer. That's not even a word and they still use it for a title. Humans are stupid.

"Enter and keep an eye on them, Perry. During and after the movie. I'll need to make preparations for when I finally strike."

"You got it, Reptile."

I ended the comfeed and stared at the theater from the rooftop of the building across the street, my camo active so as not to be seen….

I could easily sneak in and kill Remington quickly. And knock out the Fall Maiden before she can retaliate. It would be so simple. Alas…my vengeance must be satisfied. And I need the two in right place at the right time in order to succeed in both killing my brother's murderer, and retrieving the Fall Maiden for that Cinder woman.

I've said it before, but it truly did pay off in the long run to bug that midget's scroll. As well as the others, but they've yet to fully pay off. I'm sure they will given time.

In the meantime, I've preparations to make. A Fall Maiden to retrieve….

And vengeance to be had.

A/N: And that's all she wrote….

Yeah, I'd have tried to go longer for more of the date to be showcased, but it has been three months, so yeah. On the bright side, you'll get a longer chapter that ties it all up together for this first portion of the First Semester Arc.

Anyway, yeah…Colt and Amber on a da-.

Colt and Amber: NOT A DATE!

Shut up and let the Guardian shippers be happy!

A lot surprisingly happened. Including Winter being pissed and on her way, and Reptile stalking Amber and Colt, preparing for an attack.

Overall, shit is about to go down next chapter.

If you liked this and want to be kept up to date, be sure to follow and fav the story. Leave a review while you're at it. I like hearing from you guys.

See you in the next update.

LATERS!

Perfect 10 Review Responses

Oblivious ninja IJ: Neat skit. A little off given what would happen if any kind of electricity hit Nora, but still funny. As for Winter…well, she seems mighty pissed, but hey. Maybe she does subconsciously want to spend time with Colt, and it shows in the form of anger. XD

Ragnorak16: Well, he wasn't caught before the date, but it seems like an incoming Winter and scheming Reptile could possibly ruin it. Have to wait and see. Yeah, I'd like to see Amber nuke part of the town, too. Hilarious.

Azrael-Von-Gruber: Thanks, man. That really makes my day. Yeah, the new season is making me think things. Things that could impact the story in some way. Have to wait and see. Who will be Colt's waifu, indeed.

KnightOfZaku: Good to know. Never count out the Ice Queen, lol. And yeah, she found out…and she's angry. Poor Colt.

Starlight's Poet: Trolling does seem like a valid reason for Winter to be on Colt's case. That or she subconsciously wants to be near him…or both. Who knows, really? No omake this time, sadly.

myfunvideos: Yeah, she's definitely blowing it out of proportion…maybe. The levels of getting in trouble are divided by very thin lines. As for that fic…yeah, I'm not doing it anymore maybe. Sorry about that. Don't worry, I'm sure Colt will find someone eventually. :v

Shinku Ryuuga: Yeah, Relic Jaune would probably win. As for Winter…yeah, she's beyond livid. RIP Colt.

OBSERVER01: Yeah, a lot happened. As for how the revelations in Volume 6 will impact the story…not sure. Have to wait and see.

Gizmo Gear: Yes. Definitely check out Relic of the Future by Coeur Al'Aran. It's great. As are most or all of his works. I say most because some I simply didn't read for my own reasons. And…yeah, Winter certainly seems to like Colt but won't admit it. But right now, she's beyond livid. Not sure Colt will be brave enough to do that. But snapping…hmm….

Blackhawk43: Thanks, dude. Yeah, Colt and Winter seem like they could work well together, huh? As for your thought on Amber…yeah, that would definitely be dramatic. No worries about Neo. Everyone had their ship in this story.
