Hey guys, new chapter that I sorta wrote on the fly. Also, I got an idea earlier today that would be kinda fun..I want you guys to send me PM or Reviews that contain questions for Team TGSN and The Mad King. If enough are sent I will make a 4th wall breaking chapter with them answering your questions. There are no Limits on how many questions you can send, but not all of them will make it in sadly, and if you could put who the question is directed to, that would be great. :3
Tai groaned loudly as stepped of the Dustship and walked through the streets of Vale, another night without sleep for him it seemed. The poor boy had to meet up with Cinder and Company at the Warehouse, saying it was mostly to keep up Tai's image as Crimson. He grumbled as he reached the warehouse district, the walk taking a little more time then normal as he stopped at almost every coffee shop on the way over to try to keep himself energized. After getting his 4th cup, he realized he wasn't alone.
You seriously have an addiction. The King said inside Tai's head.
Tai had forgotten that the King was currently sharing his body, no wonder that last Cashier looked at his left eye strangely, after all it was bright red to show the King was occupying part of him.
"I forgot you were with me King...sorry" He yawned and rubbed his eyes.
You haven't slept in...three days? The King chuckled a bit. You may have the right to be slightly forgetful...but only slightly.
Tai mumbled out something close to a thanks as they reached the Warehouse, instead of using the door like last time, he used a fire escape to go through the window of the meeting room.
The King was not in the dark of any of this. He had studied some of the White Fang's doings with Weiss, and to Tai's annoyance, had access to Tai's memories of Tai's joining (After having been talked to by Ozpin and Tai was forced to let the King see them). Another task Tai had was to introduce The King to the others, but to keep him from the rest of the White Fang.
After pulling his stuff out of false panel in the floor and slipping his outfit on he leaned against a desk in the room, sending a message to the others to meet him in the Meeting Room. Tai reached for his mask but just sighed, he would bother with it later.
After a few minutes, Cinder, Roman, Mercury, Emerald, Neo, and Adam strolled into the room. The looked at Tai as the boy seemed to be half asleep, so of course Roman decided to talk first.
"You look like shit kid" The Thief smirked as he tapped his cane on the desk, causing Tai to jump.
"Yeah...sorry I haven't slept in a few days" He grumbled, looking up as he saw Cinder was holding out a tall can to him. Tai took the energy drink with a small thanks.
"Yeah...you look so tired...your eye is..red?" Cinder was a bit confused on that, wasn't his eyes both purple last time.
"Right...King come out" He popped the tab on his drink and began to sip it as his eye shifted back, and The King appeared.
"Sup?" The King waved, making everyone stare at the translucent male.
"I've seen everything now" Roman blinked
"Well that's interesting.." Cinder looked the projection over.
"Is that.." Mercury started.
"...a ghost?" Emerald ended his sentence.
Neo just looked at the being, grinning widely.
"I'm with Roman on this." Adam shut his dropped jaw.
"Did you just say Sup?" Tai asked, taking a break from his drink.
"Heard one of the students say it, seems easier to say then hello and how are you, fascinating word really." The King beamed.
Tai then noticed the others looking at him "if you have questions..ask him...to tired" he went back to nursing his drink, then the questions came.
"Name?"
"King"
"No your name..."
"King"
"but..."
"King"
Yes that conversation happened again. Then the more needed questions came after a very long talk from the King about him and the armor Tai had back at Beacon.
"So your dead?"
"Yes"
"And your aura and soul is stored inside a suit of armor that you died in?"
"Technically...Tai but what was left of it back together and used modern metals to rebuild the rest."
"And your capable of sharing the same body?"
"In a sense, yes."
They all looked at each other, Roman the sighed.
"These kids just keep getting weirder" He sighed loudly.
Sadly, Tai's time with the White Fang that night was short, He was forced to head home a hour later. He then noticed what time it was and groaned even louder when he reacted Beacon, stumbling into the library where everyone else was. Everyone looked up as the boy walked up to the table, pulling a chair back, sat down, then proceeded to try and fuse his forehead with the wood of the table.
"Dude..." Yang looked at him, eyes wide "you look worse then Blake...and that's saying something"
"mmmMmmmMpf..." Tai mumbled out
"Erm...People language please?" Ruby frowned, leaning in to listen as the King popped up, making Ruby yelp.
"He asked 'what do you mean' I'll just translate for him" The King stated as he watched Tai toss the Aura Crystal for the King onto the table, which was quickly snatched up by Weiss.
"She is obsessing over the White Fang...it's starting to effect her health...she has been hallucinating." Weiss stated as she tucked the Crystal into her pocket.
More grumbled came from Tai.
"And none of you have talked to her or tried to get her to sleep?" The King translated.
"We have..she just snapped at us...she won;t even go to the dance!" Ruby whined.
"mmmf?" Tai mumbled
"Dance?" The king stated.
"You know..the one at the end of the break..did't you ask her to it."
...
...
...
"Mmf..."
"Fuck." The King smirked a bit at that translation.
Tai stood up, prying himself off the table and stumbled to his feet "I'll handle that and the other thing then" he then shambled off, looking for Blake.
It didn't take him long to find the girl sitting in front of a computer terminal, looking over a news story that was weeks old. He walked up behind her and sighed, seeing her reflection in the screen. Her eyes were puffy and red, the under side of her eyes were black and blue from lack of sleep, and her clothing and hair were wrecks...no more like a 30 car pile up into an orphanage for bunnies.
"Blake?" Tai spoke gently.
"Go away..your just a hallucination..again" she sounded..depressed.
Tai just sighed and thumped her on the head with his knuckles, making the girl spin to look at him, her tired eyes glaring at him.
"Does that prove I'm here...come on..you need to sleep." He sighed.
"Can't...work" she turned back to the screen, ignoring him.
He looked at the back of her head for a moment before his lip twitched at a slight smile "Hey Yang..." He called out for a little help.
After a few minutes, a bit of rope, and the help of an Insanely strong blonde, they had a very cranky, weakly thrashing Blake tied to the chair, which Tai and Yang were dragging through the halls back to RWBY's dorm.
"LET ME GO!" Blake thrashed as her captors sighed collectively.
"No." they both stated, Yang being a bit more stern.
"But I need to keep up my work!" Blake shrieked, trying to get free.
"No, you need to take a break and sleep." Yang was starting to get annoyed with her partner.
"No, I can't you have no idea what its like!" Blake thrashed.
It happened in a flash. Yang tore the chair from Tai's grasp and slammed it against the wall, her eyes looking into Blake's as she looked down at Blake "Try me Kitten...I dare you."
"I-"
"Shut up" Yang looked at her "I know what its like to want something that badly, to dig up your past." She didn't let herself waver as her eyes met Blake defiant ones, Tai standing to the side, his own tired eyes widen as he heard Yang tell her story about her own mother.
"You can't let it over take you Blake" she sighed.
"But I have to stop Torchwick!" Blake thrashed.
Yang slammed the chair against the wall hard, getting into Blake's face, the tired girl actually shrinking back as Yang's Semblance flared and her eyes became red.
"You couldn't even stop us from tying you up!" Yang shouted as she then relaxed a bit "you're worrying us Blake, all of us." She then glanced at Tai "And I'm sure lover boy has something to say too"
Tai rolled his eyes and looked at Blake, Blake actually could now see that Tai was in a similar state to her. "Wanna go to the dance?"
Blake blinked and looked at him "Even after saying you were a..." She stopped as he raised his hand.
"To tired to have this talk, I forgive you...well?"
Blake smiled a bit and shut her eyes "Fine...but I need sleep." She could feel the ropes coming untied as Tai hefted her up into his arms Bridal style. He began to walk with Yang back to the dorm and watched as Yang unlocked the door. He took the tired cat faunas into the dorm and laid her on the bed, only for his own legs to give out and he went down next to her.
"Can't leave me huh?" Blake's humor seemed to be back now that she was in a soft bed.
"To tired..hush you..." he buried his face in her pillow "I don;t care what Weiss will say..I'm not leaving" he mumbled.
A weak chuckle came from Blake as she snuggled up to him and muttered "I think she will understand as long as I get sle..." She drifted off before she got to finish.
"Night...you..too" he mumbled as he drifted off with her in a tired clump, forgetting that Yang was there.
Yang grinned and began to snap pictures. "Cute~" she squealed as she spammed the shutter button, letting the two sleep together in Blake's bed.
Well there you guys go, sorry if it wasn't my best work, but I think it was pretty good. Next up will be the dance or the Question chapter, depending on the amount of questions you guys Submit, hope its a lot :3 well, till next time, Arrix out!
