Hello, and welcome to-
OH MY GOD THEIR REMAKING 'DEEMO'!?!
IT'S GETTING AN ANIME TOO?!I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!
"Sorry about Weeb-san. The entirety of 2019 and 2020 have been making huge updates and remakes of things it loves."
DEEMO!!! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG BUDDY!!!
"Hello again, dear readers! Sorry, I forgotton to introduce myself, I'm Pyrrha Nikkos, part of team JNPR."
DEEMO!!! ALICE!!! I'M GONNA CRY AGAIN DAMMIT!!!
"Now how did it go again? Ah yes, welcome to the new chapter little Arclings."
I WON'T SLEEP UNTIL I PERFECT THE M TRIO WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!
"Um, Weeb-san. Not to be rude or anything but I don't understand half of the game references you are making."
DEEMO!!!
"You've been like this for three weeks..."
HEY JAUNE HAS BEEN EXCITED TOO!
"Well yeah, but Jaune's different..."
NOW THEY'RE MAKING DEEMO 2?! HOLY-
"WAIT REALLY?!"
Eh, I thought you didn't know what Deemo is?
"W-well, Jaune has shown me a thing or two about it."
Did you cry?
"Wha-"
Did. You. Cry?
"...Yes..."
Thank you.
"HEEEEEYYYYYY!!!" Nora yelled at the top of her lungs "PYYYYYYRRRRRAAAAA!!!"
"NORA WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME ROOM!" Ren yells, not out of anger but Nora wouldn't hear him otherwise.
"OK!!!" Nora continues to yell.
"GAAAHHH!!!" Jaune gets startled and makes a exaggerated karate stance, he was sleeping "Are we being attacked?! Ambushed?!"
Just a normal day in team JNPR's dorm.
Ren once again calms down Jaune and the two decide to go and start their daily breathing training.
"Girls night out?" Nora asks.
"I would prefer a girls night in actually." Pyrrha replies "Not to be mean or anything but the last time we went out...it was a little-"
"Amazing?!" Nora looks giddy with sparkling eyes.
"Eventful." Pyrrha deadpans.
"Aw, party pooper." Nora gets down on her spirits "Oh! But about what I was going to ask you!"
As quickly as her spirit's are down are as quickly as they get back up.
"Yes, is there anything you would like to know?" Pyrrha tilts her head slightly.
"Yeah, just. Why do you act the way you do?" Nora jumps up and starts up one of Jaune's video games 'Super Bash Sisters Ultimate' to be in fact.
"What do you mean by that?" Pyrrha asks as she grabs a controller.
"Well, most rich or powerful people are snobby, like in Jaune-Jaune's manga. Not only that, some people we know were like that once." Nora chooses 'Queen Edede, the Queen of planet poptart' as her character.
"So what your asking is-" Pyrrha begins.
"Why aren't you like Weiss? I've seen a few people from Mistral and they aren't giving me a good impression." Nora says "I would of thrown you out the window if you was anything like her."
"That's a joke, right?" Pyrrha asks as she picks 'Soft Snake', she was rather good at the whole placing traps thing.
"Yep!" Nora says "I would've broken your legs and then thrown you out the window."
"That's good, never do things half-baked." Pyrrha smiles "That's the words someone important told me." Pyrrha says as she accepts Nora's...bloody side.
"Oh, who is this person?" Nora smiles "Ah! How did you get so good! Where did that C4 come from?! AAHH the bazooka!" She quickly got distracted.
"Well, I did say to never do anything half baked. Ah, the morals and mermories with that man. He taught me so many things..."
Pyrrha doesn't mumble anymore, Nora seems too focused on the game, however she started to remember.
To remember why her favourite animal is a snake. Yes random, but for a good reason.
He wasn't a very nice looking man, or at least that was what he thought of himself.
A camo green jacket and roughed up dark blue jeans that have seen enough battles. Black trainers and a shining bald head made him stand out from the crowd, a strange fasion choice but somehow worked.
He wasn't nice looking and wasn't nice either. At the start at least.
He glared at the people who had dared to look at him with dirty looks as they shiffled away from his path.
He didn't ask for it, but got whatever he wanted anyway. So same old drill, they get the money, he gets it back later.
He walks up to an apartment entrance 'Welcome to Dandy Doors! The best apartments in Mistral, cheap and clean that open their doors to anyone!' and glared around.
"Fourth floor, number sixteen." He reminded himself as he traveled up the stairs, eventually he had gottont to where he needed to be.
A simple get in and get out job, wouldn't take five minutes. He grabbed the door, it broke instantly due to all the rot and dropped the broken handle to the floor as the door creaked open.
"Oi Nikkos." He said grimly "The money you borrowed. Hand it over."
There is a dark silhouette in the room, the lights aren't on and the air conditioning is off despite the hot day.
Ragged and dirty, alone and dusty, this is Pyrrha Nikkos in her family home playing with a stuffed old pony she found in the local trash dump.
She had no shoes and walked barefoot, she only wore a long dirty top, ripped and shredded.
The man makes a sinister look at Pyrrha as he stroms up, crouches down and grabs her head.
"Your ma." He says in a commanding tone "Where is she?"
Rather then shiver in fear, she looks up to think, being as dense as a Jaune, Pyrrha tells the man as if it's no big deal.
"Hmmm..." her face lights up with a realization "Maybe she's at the new pachinko store. She's always there when she has money to spend."
(A pachinko is a japanese, or in this case Mistralian gambling slot machine, they resemble an arcade machine)
"..." The man stares at Pyrrha for a moment "Fine. Then I'll wait here a moment."
"Okay!" Pyrrha for some reason, looks as happy as always. She struts over to a small cardboard box and picks up a snake to hand it over to the man.
"Here mister. You'll be Mr Snake." Pyrrha says.
"..." The man looks at the stuffed animal, he has the look of 'seriously?' on his face.
Pyrrha sits facing the man and the snake he is now holding and moves her pony around "Hello Mr Snake. Nice weather today, right?"
"..." The man continues to have a blank stare, however one can take one look at him to know he is thinking 'what the fuck'.
"Eh? What's wrong, are you feeling ill?" Pyrrha asks with a smile.
The man takes a moment before he starts playing with the snake "Yeah, I just lots of things going on."
"Ehh? Is that so...Pony is sad that Mr Snake is not feeling well." Pyrrha moves her stufed aninal closer to the man's "Pony will defilently give you lots of massages so that Mr Snake feels better."
"Snakes got no bones." The man said.
Pyrrha glares at the man.
"Uh, I mean...I got no bones." The man said quickly in a gruff voice "Doing a massage wouldn't do anything."
"Hey, can't say anything unless we try!" Pyrrha smiles "Turn around."
The man sighs as he turns over his stuffed animal "Fine."
"Yay!" Pyrrha cheered.
It was a fairly intense match between Nora and Pyrrha, despite all the traps Pyrrha can use, Nora finds out new ways to counter all the projectiles, yet Pyrrha wins by one stock.
"Aw!!!" Nora whines "I lost again!? I have to practice with Renny more!"
"It's alright." Pyrrha says "I am mainly a projectile user, if I get in close you would almost instantly deal 100% every time with those spirits equipped."
"Yeah yeah." Nora says after turning off the gaming console "Hey, it's almost lunch, it's the weekend today so let's go out to eat rather then the same old school food."
"That sounds grand." Pyrrha says "We can meet the guys after we eat, I know a good place."
"Oh you do?" Nora bounces towards Pyrrha.
"Yep, I know all the best places a tourist can eat." Pyrrha smiles.
"But we live here." Nora giggles "Ah silly Pyrrha, let's head out before the lunch rush!"
"Yes, of course." Pyrrha says as she quickly makes a diguise, fake glasses and braided hair over her shoulder with a black beanie over her head.
"TCH!" The man grunted angrily "Woman never came back. I'll come again."
The man rises from the ground and kicks open the door.
"Mister!" Pyrrha runs up behind him beaming "I had so much fun today! Thank you for playing with me!"
"Such a genuine thanks. That's good, you should never do things half baked." I'll come and play with you again, lil' girl." he leaves with a small smirk.
The next day, the man returns in a similar way, he is wearing a tan coloured tracksuit with green patches and a white shirt underneath.
"Gone again huh. Your ma." The man said slowly.
Pyrrha peeks aound the corner, upon realising it was someone she knew, she quickly ran towards the man, holding the stuffed pony.
"Ma wanted to go see the horse races today. Pyrrha wanted to go too." Pyrrha spoke in third person.
"Hm, go where?" the man asked.
"Well-" Pyrrha was interrupted by the loud grumbling of her own belly, she looks down slightly with a blush on her face.
"..." The man looks at Pyrrha before picking her up by her shirt "Sorry kid. But it's well past the due date for your Ma's debt. I'm gonna have to kidnap you to teach her a lesson."
"..." Pyrrha stares at the man blankly, not understanding half of the words he had just said.
"And, I'll also teach you something." The man walks out of the house while holding her.
"And what is that mister?" Pyrrha asks.
"A very sacred ritual passed down form generation to generation. Called table manners. Let's see if you can handle what's dished out?" The man smirks.
One trip to the local ramen store later...
The two were earting to their heats content, the man then spoke in an uncertain tone.
"Is it...good?" the man asked with a bit of fear sensed.
Pyrrha hasn't seemed to have heard as she was eating noisily.
"..." the man looked at Pyrrha "Eating so heartily, good, we shouldn't do anything half baked, even eating and thanking the shopkeep after we eat shouldn't be half baked."
The man lends the younger looking shopkeep (yes the one we know and love) the bowls after their done while also leaving a hefty tip of 40 lien.
They both leave the store and puff out their stomachs, both saying in perfect sync:
"Phew! Good eating!" Pyrrha couldn't speak properly, she was too satisfied to care.
"Phew...Good eating." A familar trait shared with the man.
"Hey, you there." A Mistralian police officer alongside their partner "Can we have a little chat?"
The man looks at the police officer, then he looks at Pyrrha, still barefoot and still in the same rags as ever.
Then he realises "Shit. I look like..."
"Hey! He's getting away!" The police man yells, chasing after the man.
"Don't lose him!" His partner called after the man.
As for said man, he's currently holding Pyrrha over his shoulder while running at inhuman speeds.
"Nigerundayo! Pyrrha!" The man called out.
The two ran until they had lost the cops, conveniently right by Pyrrha's apartment.
"Ahahaha! That game of tag was so fun!" Pyrrha couldn't help but giggle. A naive child.
"Haaa..." The man sighed "I'm beat. Let's stop this kidnapping business, I'm out."
The man turns to leave, knowing Pyrrha won't follow him.
"I had so much fun today too mister! Come 'kidnap' me another time 'kay!" Pyrrha waved goodbye.
Pyrrha and Nora were the colourful duo wondering the streets of Vale, the majority of people were actually civillians who didn't have their aura unlocked so avoided huntsmen and huntresses as they can as easily cause as much havoc as the grimm.
And, as much had proven to be true...
"Hey! Shopkeep, hand us some free drinks would you?" A boy in clad turquoise armour crashed down onto a seat. His sleek gelled hair of the same colour was shining, but not from sweat, the gell if it wasn't obvious enough.
"Be a pal, we just got back from grimm extermination. A real workout! I'm boiling!" A girl in a purple tightsuit fanned herself dramatically, showing off her tanned skin and cleavage. The tightsuit itself had a large metal zipper going through the back of it, leading downwards.
"..." Pyrrha had a small flashback to when she had simply ignored Velvet's condition when Cardin had bullied her.
She wouldn't allow anything like that to happen like that, if she wanted to stop something, she will do it with force, not grit and force to ignore it.
After all, can't do things half baked.
"Hey, Nora." Pyrrha looked over at Nora and gained her attention.
"No?" Nora deadpanned before resuming her cheerful self "Just kidding! What is it Pyrrha?"
"Don't break anyone's legs." Pyrrha had a small smirk spread across her face.
"Aw pooey." Nora pouted.
Pyrrha had once again turned to the two who were harrasing the shopkeep, Her and Nora were eating away at the fried fish by the docks before the two new fighters had barged in.
"Well..." Pyrrha said loudly on purpose.
The tanned girl glared at Pyrrha "What?" She hissed.
"If your so warm..." Pyrrha's smile grew larger "Then shouldn't you strip some clothes off?"
Pyrrha had used her polarity to pull down the zipper on the tanned girl's tightsuit. The girl had looked distressed, her partner grabbed for some tissues to cover a deadly nosebleed, Nora couldn't stop giggling while Pyrrha...
"Ara ara~ How kinky, going commando." Was this how Pyrrha acted? No of course not.
"These types of characters always get a reaction off of they guys in Jaune's manga, I wonder if I pulled it off right?" Pyrrha wondered.
Oh and before I forget, turns out the tanned girl had no underwear of any kind.
"Y-you! What did you do?!" The tanned girl drew her weapon.
"Nora." Pyrrha commanded.
"Already ahead of you." Nora saluted, before the two girls in team JNPR sprinted out of the door.
"Nigerundayo!" Pyrrha yelled "Hahaha, this brings back memories!"
"You finally let loose Pyrrha! No more of that stuffy overly kind business!" Nora laughed alongside Pyrrha, but for different reasons.
"So, you want to be a huntress." The man sat cross legged as he listened to Pyrrha.
"Yeah!" Pyrrha's eyes sparkled "I have an aura, a semblance and I have my magical girl pose ready!"
"Magical girl pose?" The man asked.
"Yeah! I once saw it in a TV through the glass of one of those really tall buildings! Huntresses-in-training have to be ready to fight grimm at all times, even at school! So they transform from their school clothes into their combat uniforms!" Pyrrha declared.
"Let me guess, there was a talking cat." The man stared at Pyrrha's geekiness.
"Yeah yeah yeah!" Pyrrha jumped up and down in excitement "You know it?"
"The moon sailor right?" The man was surprised he even knew about this topic "I'm pretty sure the characters are named after planets."
"Yeah yeah!" Pyrrha laughed.
"I see." The man closed his eyes for a moment "What is your semblance anyway?"
"Um, po...pol...politics!" Pyrrha forced out.
"Politics?" The man had the signature face of 'what the fuck' as usual.
"Um. I can move stuff?" Pyrrha strikes a thinking pose one would expect Weiss to use "Only metal things though."
"Oh, polarity." The man said "That's pretty broken, what are you? The heroine of an anime?"
"Yeah! That's it, pol...pol...p-"
"You can't say polarity?" The man looked a little amazed "What kind of things do they teach you at school?"
"Scwool?" Pyrrha repeated confused.
The man sighed "You didn't go to school...figures." The man crossed his arms and stayed silent.
"Mister? What are you thinking about?" Pyrrha asked.
"Oh, I just need to do something. I'll leave early today-" The man began.
"WHAAAAT?!" Pyrrha yelled "BUT I LIKE YOUR VISITS! ARE YOU LEAVING ME TOO?!"
The man started waving his arms, flustered "What? No, no. I just need to leave early today, I'll come early tommorow."
"R-really mister?" Pyrrha hugged the man who had no idea what to do "You're not going to stop being my friend?"
"Uh, yeah yeah. I'm still your friend, just...please stop hugging me, I gotta go." The man spoke quickly "Bye."
"You gotta promise to come early ok!" Pyrrha yelled.
"Yeah I get it kid, geez. You really aren't doing this half baked." The man left.
"Ok!" Pyrrha started to smile again "I'll be waiting!"
The next day...early, of course.
"Hm..." The man looked at his handiwork "With this look, the cops won't be hot on my trail anymore."
Pyrrha was no longer covered in dirt, her shin was shiny and smooth, her hair was silky and done in double braids. Instead of rags, Pyrrha now wore a Mistralian kindergarten uniform with a yellow hat of course. Pyrrha was more then please to have white socks-
"So white! Like snow!"
-as well as black shoes-
"Wow! It's so shiny mister! I can see myself!"
-as evident with her words.
"Like it? It was why I left early yesterday, also pulled some strings...wanna head out?" The man chuckled to himself.
"Oh!" Pyrrha was glowing... "Where are you 'kidnapping' me today mister?"
"You like ponies?" The man asked.
"I love ponies!" Pyrrha glowed so bright the man now wore shades...wait he just put it on, never mind.
"Let's go then." The man said while brandishing two tickets.
"Get back here!" Pyrrha and Nora were still being chased by the two mystery students.
"Once I get my hands on you! I swear I'll-" The tanned girl still had quite the bit of steam in her.
"Keep it PG!" Nora yelled "Pyrrha can't be exposed to such things yet!"
"I'm not even gonna bother..." The guy who was with the tanned girl had his feet up, he decided it wasn't worth it when both opponents outsped his partner who chased them.
He had given the shopkeep the money for a soda after apologising and went to a neaby stand for popcorn. He seemed nice enough, but just needed some food.
"Wonder when she'll tire out." The boy muttered as he started eating.
The man and Pyrrha are in the gift shop of the zoo, the man talls to Pyrrha as she looks for something to buy.
"How was it?" The man asked, he took out a smoke out of habit "..." he threw away the whole pack into a nearby lion bin.
"It was so amazing! I never saw so many cats before! They were so big!" Pyrrha grinned widely.
"I see." The man smiled. The man bought Pyrrha a keychain with the mascot of the zoo, a cartoon-like snake, and then they both left the gift shop hand by hand.
"-and my forty third favourite attraction was the penguins, the way they waddled around is so cute!" Pyrrha told the man.
"Glad you liked it." The man replied.
"Ahaha, it really was." Pyrrha looked down suddenly "But if I go home late like this, ma might get mad."
"The plan is to make the woman worried anyway. Then I'll have a proper chat with her." The man grunted "The money she borrowed is more then enough to get you clothes..."
The man sighed silently as he walked on, he was by an intersection, one of the exits led to the river. He was well familiar in the shady street he was in, so it would be better to head to the riv-
"!?!" The man saw a woman.
The woman had short dark red hair in a bob cut, her emerald like eyes hid behind a pair of tinted sunglasses. She clung against a man in a suit, he looks like he is well off.
The red haired woman wore a black dress, it looks expensive, she has a pearl bracelet and a gold chain necklace with a gem in the middle.
"Please lend me some lien! it's urgent!" the woman called out.
"Finally giving the kid what she needs?" The man lent the red haired woman an envelope "It's the same amount you borrowed last time."
"Thank you, thank you! I was sure you would ignore me!" the woman hurried out of the room.
"..." The man put two and two together "You know what kid, let's head to the river."
The man made sure Pyrrha didn't see her...
"It's a bit of a detour, but the view is quite nice." The man smiled at Pyrrha "I'll give you a piggyback if you want."
"That sounds grand mister!" Pyrrha eagerly spoke.
"Yeah. That does."
And part 1 to Pyrrha's side story is complete everyone!
Man this had been a hard chapter to write, it wasn't like it was hard to do the chapter itself, but all the chapters I'm working on at the same time?
I'm just glad I met the deadline!
Anyway, thanks for reading so far and being patient, Weeb-san out!
