It's OK, Omega is here! Presenting the next chapter of A Game Worth Dying For within days of the new year! I'm going to say this now and, hopefully, I'll stick to it. There will be no more hiatuses! If I do this right I can get through these next two arcs in one go without having to stop. I understand that my somewhat constant hiatuses are annoying and I love you all for being so patient with me. Now, onto the recommendation!
Ruby, the Closet Otaku by HolyOrdersOtaku. Summary: "They must never know!" Ruby has a secret hobby that she's afraid people will look down upon. So, if she's trying so hard to keep it a secret, what would happen if her favorite tsundere discovered her hidden obsession. This is a very short story, just short of 10,000 words but it is hilarious! Like the summary and the title suggest, Ruby has a secret manga hobby no one knows about and Weiss ends up finding out about it. Hilarity ensues. If you're looking for a quick read, then I definitely recommend this one.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter!
I was just barely holding in my cackles at the sight of Team RWBY's gaping faces staring at me. Well, I couldn't really see them, because of the blindfold, but the silence was enough. Plus, Alice promised me she'd record their reactions for me to watch later.
"CYAN!" Four voices shout at me with a variety of emotions going through them; Joy, annoyance, amusement, and, of course, a little bit of anger.
"What the hell was all that for!?" Make that a lot of anger. Apparently, all the training in the world couldn't completely get rid of Yang's short fuse.
"Well," I start to explain my reasoning. "I wanted to see how much stronger you four had gotten, but I also wanted to see how you'd react to an unknown opponent in an unfamiliar enviornment. Suffice to say, you all passed with flying colors!"
I could hear the sound a hand hitting a forehead, which usually meant Weiss, and grinned.
"Only you, Cyan," she groans out. "Only you would think that attacking us would be a better greeting than simply saying "Hello"."
"Do you really expect anything else from him?" Blake asks in her usual monotone with a hint of amusement.
"Not really," the ex-heiress admits with a sigh.
I hear the tell-tale sounds of a weapon shifting into human form, followed by two pairs of feet touching the ground. I smiled at that, Velvet had told me what Ruby and her weapons had thought of and it was pure genius. Even I never considered doing something like that and I'm generally the one who comes up with those types of ideas.
"What's with the blindfold-thingy!?" Cresent Rose asks in her Happy-Go-Lucky tone.
"Just a bit of training on my part," I grin at the lot of them. "Helps me train my other senses, so that even if I can't see, I'll still have no problem knowing where the enemy is! Plus, it developed this new skill called 'Aura Sight', so when it's active I can see aura without actually needing to have my eyes open!"
There was silence for a few seconds. I could've sworn I heard a cricket start chirping. Weiss was the one who finally said something.
". . . That really doesn't sound all that useful," she tells me bluntly. "I mean, it's useful against other people sure, but aren't are main opponents the Grimm? Who don't have aura, so that skill would be completely useless against them."
"I know," I hung my head. It sounds like such a cool ability at first, but then you really thought about it and it was actually just above average. Best function would be if you were scoping out a place with people in it, since the skill can go through walls, but other than that. . .
It still had it's uses though, I also developed a 'Sonar' skill like Dardevil. It's how I managed to fight Team RWBY despite not being able to use my eyes.
"So, why are you still wearing the blindfold?" Yang asks me, her anger having faded.
"I made a very cheesy promise to Velvet," I admit with a blush. Said promise had been 'She'd be the first thing I'd see once the blindfold came off'. Ruby, Cresent Rose, and Yang all broke out into snickers and I didn't need to see to know that the others were smirking at me. "Shut it!"
"So, where are the others?" Blake asks.
"Oh, they're around," I grin at them as I snap my fingers. Which gave my teammates the signal to show themselves.
The first to show up was Dante, my ever-faithful second in command(Alice was more along the lines of a co-leader, since we were essentially the same person). The hammerhead-shark Fishman hadn't changed much over the time we'd been gone. Seeing as he still wore those black jeans and nothing else. He did add something to his arsenal though, to be more specific, a familiar katana-rifle combo weapon.
After Dante had killed Adam, he had claimed the faunus' weapon(or is it weapons?) as his own. I had been honestly confused when he did it, asking afterwords why?
Dante told me that Adam's weapon had been 'crying out in pain' and that he didn't want a blade to suffer like that. The Granblue native had also recolored the weapon to suit his own colors. The sheath had turned a dark gray and was decorated with Dante's own emblem of a shark biting a crown. He had also managed to make the blade go from a bright red to a blue similar in shade to my hair. How he did this, I still have no idea.
Another thing that had changed was that the fishmn had a myriad of scars coating his flesh. From head to toe, they were everywhere. Well, except for his back, of course, 'wounds on the back are a swordsman's shame' after all.
To be completely honest, that is the one thing of Dante's that I am extremely jealous of. 'Gamer's Body' stopped my body from developing scars of any kind, so my skin was as smooth as the day I got here, which I hate. I am of the opinion that scars are a sign that you survived where others had not. Pretty much everybody respects someone with their fair share of scars and I had none! It was rather annoying.
Next arrival was Raina, who appeared in a splash of water thanks to my teaching her the 'Shunshin' from Naruto. She was a lot more relaxed and focused than when Team RWBY had last seen here(I could tell, because my enhanced senses let me hear her heartbeat). The Dragon Slayer told me that her mind felt clearer whenever she used her Storm Dragon Slayer Mode, so I've been giving her a sort of therapy to help out her problem.
Said therapy consisted of electric shocks to her head every day, the combination of the target and her own Dragon Slayer abilities made the odd method actually realistic to use rather than incredibly stupid. Raina still had her occasional mood swings, but they were a lot less frequent than they had been when she first arrived in Remnant.
Raina's choice in outfits had also changed from the rather skimpy outfit she wore beforehand. The Dragon Slayer currently wore a navy-blue wetsuit with gold trim at various places; The sleeves and legs of the suit went down to wrist and ankle length respectively. She also had her incredibly long hair(reaching her feet when it's let down) up in a ponytail.
I sigh when I realize the third member of our team had yet to show up.
Alice, come out here!
No.
So what? You just gonna avoid all of friends until it grows back?
. . . Maybe.
Alice. . .
Okay, fine!
I wait a few seconds, then watch as the shadows in the clearing start gathering together. Combining to form a human figure that stood to my right.
Black tights and grey knee-high boots covered the figure's legs, both of which were covered in various pieces of armor. On top of that was a black armored vest that covered the obvious female's rather large chest. Her forearms were covered by a pair of clawed, gun-metal grey gauntlets that went up to her biceps. A skin-tight, black duster jacket, complete with cowl, adorned her shoulders. To top it all off was the skull-like, metal mask that covered her entire face.
Ladies and gentleman, may I intoduce The Reaper! Otherwise known as Alice Matu.
"Woah!" Yang exclaims, seemingly surprised more by the outfit than the entrance. Having Blake as girlfriend must make you numb to people popping out of nowhere. "That you under there, Alice?"
"Yeah, it's me," Alice answered in a gravelly voice that I knew was fake.
"What's with the outfit?" Ruby asks with a giggle.
"Don't wanna talk about i-" Before she could finish her sentence, I slid into the question with answer.
"Remember that Grimm I fought you as?" My 'Sonar' alerted me to the four of them nodding their heads. "Salem sent that thing after us at month three of our training. Went after Alice while she was sleeping and got a lucky shot in. Said lucky shot sliced off all her hair below her neck, before Alice incinerated it. She's been moping around and won't take off that outfit until her hair grows back."
I could hear the sound of Weiss' hand hitting her forehead, something I assume she mainly does out of habit. She has to be used to stuff like this by now, right? I also heard Ruby's giggling and could guess that Blake was smirking as she usually did in these situations. Through my 'Sonar' I could "see" Yang cross her arms while nodding her head, seemingly agreeing with my sister's choice.
"Moving on," I regained the attention of my group of friends. "Let's head home, shall we? I got a promise to fufill and a mission to complete!"
"What about our mission?" Weiss asks me, which made me scratch the back of my head sheepishly.
"Well, there kinda was no mission," I tell her, drawing out the 'L' in my 'Well'. "Ozpin owed me a favor and I thought this would be a fun way to tell you guy's I was back in town!"
I immediatly had to duck a gigantic icicle that wanted to lodge itself in my eye socket. Then, I had to play a game of messed-up limbo as I ducked and manuevered around icicles. The last one I just caught and crushed in my hand.
"Ya done?" I ask, slightly annoyed at my icy-friend.
"I am satisfied, yes," Weiss informs me.
"Good," I nod, at this point I really didn't mind if one of my friends attempted to kill me. Apparently, it's good for relieving the stress that comes from dealing with my insanity and it's not like they've ever come close to actually doing it. "Like the tails by the way."
"Thank you," I could practically hear her grin.
"Movin-" I cut my senence short as I avoided a sniper bullet aimed for my head. "Really!?"
"Wasn't me!" Ruby denied instantly.
"Me neither!" Cresent Rose states a second later.
Even with my blindfold on I could tell everyone just stared at the form of Thayna, who was standing next to Ruby(slightly behind her) with her left arm in sniper mode and smoke wafting from the barrel.
"You worried us," the weapon girl states meekly, yet at the same time with determination.
"Right, my bad," I admit to the weapon girl in order to avoid being shot again. "How about we talk about what we've all been doing while we walk back to the town?"
"Sounds like fun!" Ruby cheers, the rest of her team agreeing with her.
"Well, let's start with my trip to Menagerie," I offer as we all start walking towards the town they had came from.
[Flashback]
Ghira Belladona, the current cheiftain of Menagerie, was working on paperwork. . . And hating every second of it. The large faunus was in his office with his wife, Kali Belladona, sitting nearby drinking tea. His wife giggled slightly at the agonized expression on her husband's face. She was a cat faunus, after all, it was in her nature to enjoy a bit of schadenfreude.
All was quite in the large office. . . Until a swirling portal of darkness opened up in the ceiling.
While both Ghira and Kali was frozen from shock at the incredibly odd occurence, the portal dropped the oddest assortment of teenagers they had ever seen onto the ground.
The first was actually the most normal of the four, being a girl with long aqua-colored hair and golden eyes. The second was probably the weirdest of the bunch. He looked like someone tried to combine a human with a Hammerhead Shark and had two swords strapped to his back; one of which looked vaguely familiar to Ghira and Kali. He was unlike any faunus the two Belladonas had seen before. The third was another girl with dark-blue hair and red eyes, she also had scales and claws decorating her hands, feet, forearms, and calves. The fourth and final one was a young man with bright blue hair and was wearing a rather interesting-looking coat, who had also fallen on his face.
[A/N: This was early on in the training Time-Skip, so no Reaper outfit and no blindfold just yet]
"You did that on purpose," the blue-haired boy states as he gets off the ground.
"Maybe," the scaled-girl says in a cutesy tone; the boy growls in return.
"May I ask who you are and why you are in my home?" Ghira asks the group calmly, despite how tense he was in preparation for a fight.
"Not gonna call your guards?" The shark-boy asks in a gravelly-voice.
"I doubt you are assassins going by your entrance and the fact that it's the middle of the day," Ghira tells him honestly.
"Right you are, good sir!" The blue-haired boy exclaims in a showman's voice. "My name is Cyan Fenrir Matu, leader of Team CARD. Who should be introducing themselves right about. . ."
"Alice Matu," the scaled-girl says with a sigh at her brother's theatrics.
"Dante Hikisu," the shark-boy says with a small bow.
"Raina!" The blue-haired girl exclaims happily.
"We're here for two reasons," Cyan tells them, holding up two fingers. "The first is a favor for my buddy, Dice, on behalf of his company. The second is because I'm a friend of your daughters."
"You know Blake?" Kali asks him, excited about news about her run-away daughter.
"Yeah! Her and her team are some of my best friends!" Cyan smiles widely as he says this. Then, he seems to have an 'Aha!' moment. "Here, give me a second. . ."
Cyan's next act shocked both Belladonas, he reached into seemingly open air and pulled out a scroll. After pressing a few buttons on it, he handed the scroll to Kali. She immediatly showed it to her husband. The scroll was showing a picture of eight different people; their daughter, Cyan's team, the Ex-Schnee Heiress(much to their shock), and two other girls. All of them were smiling widely at the camera, which made the parents especially happy to see their daughter so happy.
Kali handed back the team leader's scroll back with a wide smile.
"Now, what's this about a favor?" Ghira asks, not forgetting the other reason Cyan was here, despite how happy he was about his daughter's happiness. Cyan grins at the older faunus.
"My friend is Dice Odin Gambit, the current CEO of the Roll The Dice Dust Company," Cyan tells the two. "Dice would like to set up a branch here in Menagerie to allow people to sign up in Dust Raids."
"Dust Raids?" Ghira repeated, looking for clarification.
"Dice and I share an ability," Cyan tells them. "It's known as 'The Gamer' and it has a myriad of uses, long story short, one of it's uses is to create pocket dimensions filled with enemies. The type of enemy is decided by the creator; Grimm, Zombie, Beast, Etc. Said enemies, upon death, will drop items such as money and dust, which is how Dice runs his company. He, and others that he takes with him, will enter a pocket dimension and fight the enemies until they reach a certain quota of dust.
"25% of all the drops go to Dice and the other 75% is split amongst the people that participated in that raid. Participants are also allowed to keep any rare drops that they find, which can be anything from a weapon to a piece of armor. Dice will be participating in the raids, but the participants will be doing most of the work, since they are getting paid to do it."
"Any requirements for a person to sign-up?" Ghira asks in a proffesional tone. The faunus was impressed so far as the blue-haired man's pitch was very convincing so far.
"No prejudices of any kind to start," Cyan states in the same proffesional tone. "These people are going to be working together in a dangerous enviornment and as such need to work together. Prejudices will just get them all killed. Secondly, Dice and I have a way to test someone for alterior motives and if someone is discovered to have alterior motives, then they will be denied a position."
Ghira nodded, the conditions were very fair. Extra points were given from the chieftain from Cyan's remark about prejudices.
"You can tell your friend that there will be no problem with him setting up a branch in menagerie," Ghira tells the young man, making him grin.
"Thank you, I'll inform him as soon as possible," Cyan informs the elder faunus. Then, Cyan reached into thin air again, but this time he pulled out a large stack of rectangular-shaped pieces of paper. "I also wanted your permission to set these up around the faunus and human areas on the island."
"What are they?" Ghira asks the young man whilst holding up one of the pieces of paper to see the odd symbols drawn on them.
"Barrier talismans," Cyan tells him. "They repel creatures of darkness, such as the Grimm, from breaching their assigned placement. I have them set up around the city of Vale at Ozpin's request. It's what allowed the city to escape with minimal damage during the invasion a few weeks ago."
"And how do I know these are what you say they are?" Ghira asks, being cautious. The young man in front of him has been courteous and friendly so far, but it never hurt to be certain.
"Get in contact with Headmaster Ozpin at Beacon," Cyan advises the chieftain. "He can vouch for me and then get in contact with me. As soon as he does, I'll come back to set up the seals."
"Very well," Ghira nods and Cyan returns the seals into his inventory.
At that moment, someone started knocking on the door; The main door, not the door to the office.
"I wonder who that is," Kali ponders as she gets up to answer it.
"I'm guessing your daughter and her team," Cyan tells them, being able to see the names hovering over their heads through the walls. "Which means it's time for my team and I to leave. Tell them I said 'Hi'!"
With that said another portal of shadow appeared, this time beneath Team CARD's feet, and they disappeared.
[End Flashback]
"I wasn't very happy when I found out we just missed you, Cyan," Weiss tells me with slight annoyance.
I just snicker in response and avoid another ice spike when I do.
"I was more terrified about meeting Blake's parents," Yang shivers which makes most of us snicker. "I've never panicked so much in my life when I was talking to them!"
"You did fine," Blake reassures her as she slings an arm over Yang's shoulder. I couldn't help but smile at the incredibly adorable sight of Yang nuzzling into the embrace.
"So, where'd you go next, Cy!?" Cresent asks excitedly.
"I had a meeting with Sienna Khan of the White Fang in Mistral," I grin ferally at their wide-eyed expressions as I once again begin to tell my tale.
[Flashback]
Sienna Khan, second leader of the White Fang, was a very proud and powerful faunus. Part of her power was her prowess in combat, another part her tactical knowledge, and another would be her charisma and ability to rally the troops. But, what probably helped her most of all, were her animal instincts.
Most faunus had animal instincts that came with their animal features. But, Sienna's were leaps and bounds over most faunus in that department. The White Fang leader could sense danger coming from a mile away and she could tell if someone was lying to her as well.
When a portal of pure blackness opened up in her throne room, Sienna's instincts screamed at her. The portal dropped out a young man wearing jeans and a t-shirt under a rather interesting coat; He also had bright blue hair and similarly-colored eyes.
Sienna recognized this young man as Cyan F. Matu. Although, who didn't after that final match in the Vytal Festival Tournament? She also recognized him as the leader of the team that was responsible for the death of one of her strongest lieutenants. Not that she really liked Adam in the first place, but still.
Her guards immediatly prepared to do their jobs by brandishing their weapons towards the intruder.
"Now, now, no need for those," his words were spoken in a calm voice, but there was a feral gleam in his eyes. Sienna could tell, because she would see that same gleam in the mirror many a times.
"Stand down," Sienna ordered. Thankfully, her guards were very competent and obeyed without question, but still kept tense.
There were two factors that made her give that order. The first was her instincts once again screaming at her when her guards moved in on the blue-haired boy. The other factor was that she didn't sense a lie when Cyan said her guards wouldn't need their weapons. It honestly intriuged the female faunus.
"May I ask what you're doing here, human?" Sienna snarls at the young man, but, in response, Cyan just burst out laughing. "What's so funny?!"
"I-I'm. . . S-sorry!" Cyan stuggled to reign in his laughter and finally stopped after a minute or so. The Team CARD leader wiped a tear from his eye and starts speaking again. "It's just I haven't considered myself a human in a very long time."
"Oh?" Sienna's intrigue was growing. At this point, she was either prepared to order his grisley execution or share a drink with him for the sheer audacity he was projecting. "And what are you, if not human?"
"I," eyes widened all around as a pair of wolf ears grew atop Cyan's head. The wolf ears shrank back into his skull a moment later.
"Am," his voice turned monstrous when the blue-haired boy turned into a Grimm of all things! A Beowolf, to be exact. He quickly shifted back into human form.
"Everything!" To top it all off, Cyan turned into a female version of himself. Sienna had to admit that Cyan looked rather attractive as a woman.
"So, it appears," Sienna remarks, unable to keep the wide-eyed expression off her face. The female Cyan just giggles. "Now, would you mind answering my original question?"
"Of course," he(She? Sienna wonders) tells the White Fang commander. "To start off, I'd like to introduce myself as Cyan Fenrir Matu."
"I know who you are," Sienna told her.
"I thought so," Cyan shrugs. "But, it is better to introduce yourself, then to callously believe that others should automatically know your name."
"Quite," the respect Sienna had for this young man(woman? this is getting very confusing) was starting to grow.
"Moving on, what I wanted to talk about was the future of the White Fang," as soon as those words left Cyan's mouth the room turned tense. "Now, I'm a big supporter of faunus rights. My girlfriend's a faunus, few of my friend's are faunus, and my sister and teammate are technically faunus. But, you're going about it all wrong."
"We tried doing it peacefully, they did not listen!" The tiger faunus snarls at Cyan.
"Oh, that's not what I meant," confusion replaced her anger. "I know that, of all people, I should not be talking about peace and love as a means to bring about equality. But, like I said, you're going about it all wrong. You're just shoving your opinion down people's throats and that just doesn't work overall. It's like trying to shove a glass circle into a square hole with a hammer, eventually it's just going to break instead of going in. Even other faunus are starting to dislike you guys."
"And what would your advice tell us to do?" Sienna asks, both intrigued once again and annoyed as she has been.
"Subtlety is key," a feral grin appeared on the (currently)female's face. "On the surface, go back to your peaceful ways. Peaceful protests, serve food to the poor, build housing, etc. But, create a splinter group within your ranks of people who'd rather get their hands dirty to get their point across. Teach them how to be quiet and inconspicuous, while stressing the importance of silence. Then, when they're properly trained, send them as assassins against those who've severly wronged you."
The surprise of Sienna's face was evident. A huma-well, an in-training huntsman was telling them to continue killing people for the sake of equality and was even giving them genuine advice!?
"Now, when I say severely wronged," Cyan continued to speak. "I don't mean someone who glared at a faunus or made a racist comment, 'cause that's just being petty. No, go after the people who run buisnesses that won't cater to faunus and when no one, and I mean no one, is the buisness, burn it to the ground! Then, don't leave any trace of foul play behind. This would only work if you didn't do it too often and in one area, so that people don't think it's you guys and not just random unfortunate accidents.
"As for politicians who pass laws that affect the faunus poorly, research them. Make sure that it's their opinions they're acting on and not some form of blackmail or threat against family that's making them do it, or if they've just had a bad home life. Once you've cleared that up, organize some accidents to befall the racist party. Then, you can start putting faunus in more places of power. Eventually, you'll see a very large decrease in racism all over Remnant and most won't even realize how it's been done."
To say she was shocked would be an understatement. Sienna was speechless as she considered what Cyan was telling her. The more she thought about it, the more the plans made sense. But, there was just one thing that was stopping her from going through with it.
"Why are you doing this?" She questions.
"Like I said I have a lot of loved that are faunus, but that's just the major reason," Cyan remarks, before getting a serious expression over her previously carefree face. "There is a war coming between my forces and the forces of a woman named Salem. Adam Taurus was working with a woman name Cinder Fall, who in turn had been working for Salem. They're both dead, but there are still people in the White Fang who feel similarly to Adam. By giving you this advice, I feel I've come up with the best solution to deal with the White Fang in the best possible way. Because. . ."
Sienna nearly choked on the air of pure danger that Cyan was exuding. Her instincts weren't just screaming anymore, now they were just in pain with how much danger the person in front of her could cause. Although, with how much stronger Cyan seemed to be than her, Sienna's animal instincts were also making her slightly aroused.
"If I find out that my loved ones are harmed in anyway, because of you or your forces," lightning cackled over Cyan's skin as she snarled at Sienna. "Then, I will obliterate you and there will be nothing subtle about it!"
Like a switch had been flipped, Cyan reverted back to being cheerful and calm. She made slow, purposeful steps toward Sienna's throne and offered the tiger faunus her hand.
"Do we have an understanding?" She asks innocently.
"I believe we do," Sienna smirks and shakes the offered hand. "Did you say you had a girlfriend already?"
"Yes," Cyan's expression turned playful. "And she happens to be the only one for me."
"Damn, I was getting interested too," Sienna remarks in the same playful tone.
"Sorry about that, but I wouldn't mind being your friend," Cyan tells her with an honest smile and Sienna herself could sense no lies.
"I'd like that very much," Sienna answers honestly.
"Great!" Cyan cheers with a blinding smile. "I'd love to talk more, but if I leave my team unsupervised any longer, then they're viable to destroy a mountain or something along those lines. Later!"
With that, another portal of darkness opened up beneath Cyan's feet and transported her away.
[End Flashback]
"At this point, I really don't care anymore," Weiss groans out as her palm grinds against her forehead.
"That explains why certain politicians have been having accidental deaths lately," Blake remarks.
"Yeah, I was surprised that they managed to get that together so fast," I tell them. "The first one was only a week after I gave Sienna that advice."
"I'm surprised you didn't think about Sienna's offer," Yang gives me a lecherous grin. To which I playfully glare.
"As attractive as Sienna is, I don't want a harem," I say honestly. "I love Velvet and she loves me, don't need anymore than that. Mind you, if she does turn out to have genuine feelings for me, I'd discuss it with Velvet and she'd have the final say."
"I don't understand how Velvet manages to deal with you all the time, Cyan," Weiss says with honest amazement. "I really don't."
"Neither do I, really," I return with equal honesty. "But, that's why I love her."
"Awwwww!" Everyone, save Dante(who smirks), exclaims.
"Oh, shut it!" I grouse good-naturedly. They all break out into snickers.
"So, what was next?" Weiss asks me.
"There were really only two major things that happened after my chat with Sienna," I tell them with my hands folded behind my head as I walked. "Ozpin wanted me to take care of this guy named Dr. Merlot who was mutating Grimm for some reason. It was fun for a while, but when I got bored I just blew his entire lab to rubble and went on my merry way."
"Yeah, that sounds like you," Yang remarks dryly.
"And after that?" Blake questions.
"Now, that happened during our short stay in Atlas," I give my currently-emo sister a very wide, very mischevious grin. "Care to show them, little sis?"
I can tell Alice is blushing like mad under that mask of hers as she pulled off the glove of her left hand showing everyone the silver band covered in saphires and fluorite. Ruby immediatly squeeled and glomped my sister.
"Oooh, I'm so happy for you both!" Ruby's voice hurt my ears with how high-pitched it was. "Who proposed!? When's the wedding!? Can I be the flower girl!?"
"Winter was the one who proposed actually," Alice answers in her normal voice, instead of The Reaper one.
"Winter asked my blessing too," I grin widely at the memory. The normally unflappable specialist had been incredibly nervous when she asked for my sister's hand in marriage.
"We won't be setting any specific date until Salem is taken care of," Alice answers the next question as she glares at me from behind the Reaper mask.
"Alice has been training ever harder than I have to speed up that particular event," I snicker as Alice's glare intensified. "Oi! You start supressing the familiar bond when you and Winter do things and I'll stop teasing you."
"Fine," Alice growls in her Reaper voice, before going back to the normal one for Ruby. "Yes, you can be the flower girl, Ruby. You've actually saved me the trouble of asking."
"YAY!" Ruby squeels again and lifts Alice off the ground in her hug.
"I'm happy for you," Blake smiles at my sister as Ruby puts her back on the ground.
"Same!" Yang grins as Weiss starts walking right up to Alice.
The ex-heiress stared deep into the eye-holes of Alice's mask with her icy-glare.
"You hurt my sister in any way, shape, or form," Weiss let a cold mist build on her skin as her tails waved around wildly and her ears twitched. "And I'll turn you into a popsicle, capiche?"
"Understood," Alice says, slight intimidation present in her voice.
"Good," Weiss' icy-glare turned into a warm smile as she wrapped her arms around Alice. "Glad to add you to the family."
"Hey, this means we're family too now, Weiss!" I grin widely at the COO of the RTDDC.
"Nooooooooooo!" Weiss immediatly curled into a ball on the ground with a storm cloud hovering over her head. Ruby went over to her girlfriend to comfort her.
"Wow, with Alice and Winter engaged that means almost all of us are going to be related in some way," Yang immediatly turned beet red when she realized what exactly she was impling. Blake caught it as well as she looked towards her girlfriend with a predatory grin. "E-eventually."
"I believe it does," I snicker at Yang's discomfort. At that moment, the village finally popped into view through the trees. "Looks like we're on the home stretch! Come on, guys! Let's head home!"
And that concludes chapter 50 of A Game Worth Dying For! Any questions you may have, feel free to ask me in a review or a PM.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you next time, OK is out!
