Eltnum tapped her foot impatiently, as she looked at the Author holding the thermometer in his mouth. Finally, she took the thermometer out and took a look at it. Her eyes bugged out comically as she read the indicator.

"H...how?" she wondered. "H-how is it possible for you to get an 'Infinity+' reading on a thermometer? That's not possible! It's infinity! How can you go plus infinity!?"

"*...d*n*...k**w..." the Author replied, but so quiet Eltnum couldn't even hear.

"What?" she asked.

"I...d*n't... *no*...!" the Author said, a little louder, but still too low for Eltnum to hear.

"What?" Eltnum asked, leaning over to hear him better.

"I DON'T KNOW!" the Author said, screaming right in Eltnum's ear.

"Okay~" Eltnum said, rubbing her ear.

"Hey everyone. Sorry to say, but the past week, the Author-X over here was suffering from a cold that had him feeling, as he said, 'like his head turned into a bowling ball' with how congested he's been. For these reasons, he literally could not think straight, making it pretty much impossible for him to actually write anything new. So, with that in mind, he's decided to compile the questions he'd gotten ever since the last Q&A Chapter, so he can get... something out for everyone."

"El*n*m! N*se b*ee*ing!" the Author's voice said.

"Oh for the love of me!" Eltnum said. "What is that, the fourth time!? Just because I'm part vampire doesn't mean I'm gonna drink your nasty, sick blood!"


From zucoandgutyboy14: To Makoto, Kokonoe, Jubei, Blake, Velvet, and Sun, concerning yours and RWBY's worlds on how humans deal with the Beastkin/Faunus how do you guys view them and if you could choose to be reborn in the others world or keep your life as is?

Makoto: Oh, the whole racism thing on Remnant? Yeah, I'm familiar with that of course since I talk to Blake a lot. I will admit, I'm not a fan of hearing about that war that happened and that there are still people that treat the faunus badly. From what I hear from Blake or even Sun, it's quite a lot like how some humans treat the beastkin in my world. But it's not like the faunus are particularly makin' things better for themselves with that White Fang organization.

She takes a second to take a breath.

Makoto: I just wish people on both worlds could just be more accepting and not hate people because of having some animal traits. Honestly though, I would never wish to have been born anywhere other than where I'm at now. I have such cherished friends like Noel, Tsubaki, Kajun, Mai! I honestly wouldn't be where I am today without them! And if I were born on Remnant, for all I know, I might have become a member of the White Fang if I was treated as bad as I was on my Earth! So... yeah, nothing against Remnant, but I'm happy where I am now.

Blake: I've heard from Makoto about how things are on her Earth, and how they're very similar to what happened to the faunus on Remnant, yes. It honestly does kind of break my heart to hear that we faunus and beastkin aren't any different almost at all in terms of the descrimination and the hate we get. Honestly, I am kind of curious about what it would be like to be reborn on their Earth, just to see if my path would have been that much different to how things were for me on Remnant.

Kokonoe: Hmm... Yes, the descrimination of the faunus on Remnant. To tell you the truth, I've only heard about it in passing. To be frank I'm not that interested in faunus culture or the like and am more curious about studying their biology to see just how different they are compared to most beastkin. I'm still trying to convince those squirrel and cat girls to offer me some dna samples for study~

Blake/Makoto: NO!

Kokonoe: It was a joke. Regardless, I would much rather stay as I am now. I don't have interest in being "reborn" as you say on Remnant if it means losing my intelligence and memories of my life here, as that wouldn't give me much to study now would it?

Sun: Huh. Well, I would be lying if I said I wasn't at least curious about those beastkin folks. Namely Taokaka and her clan cause'... well, they make me laugh! But, yeah, it is a bummer that things aren't any better for them on their world compared to the faunus over here. I'd be a bit curious about looking into their world for numerous reasons, but I'd have to say being "reborn" to do so is a bit unnecessary. Just going out there and exploring and living a day in the life would be enough for me.

Jubei: Ah, yeah. The faunus. I have to say out of all the things I've seen, not once have I seen any being like me in their world. So suffice is to say my stealth has come in handy in terms of keeping attention off of me whenever I've done some exploring in their world. Still, not like they're that much better off regardless if they have any "anthropomorphic" beings like me. I can't say being reborn in their world has much appeal, as I have done so much in this life, I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious about what it'd be like to be reborn as one of these "faunus." I wonder how I'd look majoridly human?

From Spider999: I have a question for all of you, (including the villains,) have you ever see the movie call The Exorcist, or any horror film?

(Since there are far too many characters to ask, I'm mostly going to focus on the main ones that readily came to mind. Sorry!)

* Hilda and Hazama take a sneaky look over to Ragna, who blushed and looked away furiously. *

Hilda: Well, we did actually see this movie last Halloween.

Hazama: True, true. And poor Raggy over there was just about wetting himself in the arms of the lovely Miss Kirijo over there.

Ragna: I was not wetting myself you two! Come over here and say that to my face so I can introduce you to my Bloodscythe!

Mitsuru: Ragna! Relax! Yes, we did see the movie last year. Obviously, Junpei had the bright idea to show that to the entire team one night. Poor Yukari just about passed out in fear in Yuki-kun's arms.

Akihiko: You didn't do that much better yourself Mitsuru. You just about broke mine and Shinji's wrists!

Mitsuru: I did not! Come over here and say that to my face so I can introduce you to my rapier!

Ragna: Great! Now I'm the one who has to restrain her!

Aigis: Are we sure that Mitsuru-san and Ragna-san are not yet in a relationship?

Ruby: Yeah, pretty sure.

Makoto: Bummer.

Hyde: Well, maybe the rest of us should answer?

Yang: Ruby has not seen the Exorcist.

Ruby: Yang, come on!

Weiss: She's far too innocent for such content.

Ruby: Weiss!

Blake: The rest of us had, and suffice is to say, it was not fun.

Yang: Sure enough! Hahahahaha! Blake got so scared she stuck herself to the ceiling! And Weiss full-blown fainted!

Weiss: I did not faint!

Blake: And I didn't "stick myself to the ceiling!" I jumped! That's it!

Yosuke: Oh man, I wish I could've seen that!

Yu: Didn't you puke in the bathroom after you saw the Exorcist, Yosuke?

Yosuke: Narukami!

Weiss: Seriously? You got so scared you puked?

Makoto: Poor baby. *Pats him encouragingly on the back.*

Chie: Yeah! He was stuck there for nearly twenty minutes!

Yosuke: Yeah, well at least I didn't wet myself!

Chie: I did not wet myself!

Noel: Oh my! Uh... C-Chie do you-?

Chie: Whatever it is Noel, zip-it! I did not wet myself!

Yukiko: But you did faint too Chie! *Laughing fit: Engage!*

Chie: Oh come on, Yukiko!

Kurogane: So, just so we're clear, we're surrounded by a bunch of chickens?

Hyde: Yeah, seems like it.

Kurogane: Did you watch it, little brother?

Hyde: Nah. Not interested. You?

Kurogane: Same. So, has anyone seen any other horror movies? I've only ever watched the Alien movies. They... I dunno, they interested me.

Hyde: That's a good one. I'm not that into horror, but I did at least watch one or two of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

Yosuke: Friday the 13th for me!

Narukami nodded.

Kanji: Nope. Don't do horror.

Chie: Mega nope!

Yang: We gotta show you "The Girl in the Woods."

Chie: Huh!?

Blake: Horror movie from our world. We gotta show you that, and "The Night Terror."

Chie: G-guys no! W-we're best friends, right!?

Weiss: I've always been privy to "The Wraith Huntress."

Chie: Why?!

Yang: Ah, that one's more action than horror. But I can appreciate it.

Hyde: Is is it just me, or does horror on Remnant sound even worse than horror on Earth?

Kurogane: Eh, probably.

Ruby: Seriously guys!? Have you been holding out on me!?

WBY: You're too pure!

Yukiko: Ooh! We should watch the Ju-On movies too! Those are some of my favorites!

Chie: Yukiko! Don't encourage this!

Kurogane: What about Makoto or Noel? Do you guys have any horror?

Makoto: Noel doesn't do horror. And that's not just me saying that either. She really is bad with the stuff.

Noel nods enthusiastically.

Makoto: But, yeah! I've enjoyed a lot of the classics when we found some old dvds or even vhs tapes of them! Pretty much everything you guys mentioned! Alien is the best!

Hilda and Hazama laugh off to the side.

Adachi: What about you two? Have you watched a lot of horror?

Hilda: Oh heavens no. Much of it is just the same fluff playing off anxieties. I prefer to be the one who gives anxiety.

Hazama: True, true. I mean, why enjoy in fiction what you could enjoy in reality?

Adachi: Eh. I feel that. Although a Paranormal Activity or Insidious every now and again doesn't hurt.

Also From Spider999: What's your favorite food, guys?

Ruby: Strawberries, believe it or not! But I am a fan of cookies too.

Makoto: Chestnut parfaits!

Chie: Steak!

Blake: I enjoy most seafood.

Yang: No~

Blake: You want me to suplex you?

Weiss: Hmm~ That's hard for me to say. Blueberry frozen yogurt is really good, but in terms of an actual food I have a hard time. I quite enjoy apple pie from time to time though.

Yosuke: Oh, bit of a sweet tooth, Ice Queen?

Weiss: You're one to talk with all your junk food!

Yosuke: Well me, I really like donburi.

Yu: Agreed. I am also privy to ramen.

Hyde: I like ramen too.

Yang: Well I'm a big fan of curry actually. Namely green curry or other spicy curry!

Blake: Wait, you like hot food? No~

Yang: Now do you want to be the one who gets supplexed?

Hilda: Hmm~ Hazama, Adachi, what do you gentlemen think?

Hazama: Oh, me? Well, I love a hard boiled egg every now and again.

Adachi: Ooh, nice. I like me some jerky from time to time. A bit of a guilty pleasure.

Hilda: Hm. Me? I like some onigiri.

Ragna: Huh. Well, I like tentama udon.

Mitsuru: Oh, I enjoy that too. But I'm more partial to some really great stew.

Adachi: Anything with protein!

Yang/Hyde/Yu/Ragna/Mitsuru/Hilda/Weiss: We're so surprised.

Yukiko: What about you Noel?

Noel: Hmm... what about you Yukiko?

Yukiko: Oh, I like steamed buns!

Noel: Oh, nice! I can't really decide! I just like to make food more than anything!

Makoto shudders offscreen!

From jadasimone16: To Ruby, which weapons from everyone in Ragna's universe you think are the best?

Ruby: AAAHH! Don't ask me that! I don't know what to pick! Everyone has such cool weapons! Have you seen Mai's spear!? And what about Noel's guns!? Don't they have like some, super bullets or something? But... oh... I think... If I had to pick... probably Ragna's sword! It reminds me a lot of Uncle Qrow's weapon Harbinger! It starts as a sword that he can turn into a scythe! Only it pumps some, like, energy through it almost like Aura and create this giant energy construct out of it! Oh my gosh it's so cool! So, yeah, if I had to pick, it'd be his.

From Neptunia56: To Yang, what do you think about Daidouji?

Yang: Oh, you mean the girl that's been chillin' around Uncle Qrow lately? Well, she's like me! Except bigger. Okay, jokes aside, she's really chill. I mean, on the surface, the fact that she honestly does look like me but with black hair gives me bad vibes cause' she kinda looks like my mom, but she's actually really chill. Turns out, that black hair isn't even real. It's part of her "shinobi transformation" or whatever. She's actually got this dirty blonde hair, which makes us even more similar! But, at the same time, when you put her at specific angles, like when she has her hair straightened and her eyes are narrowed she looks a lot like Mitsuru. So it's almost like Daidoji is some weird three-way hybrid between Mitsuru, Akihiko, and I! At any rate, I haven't been around her much since she's on a job for Ozpin and that Kirya guy from Hanzo Academy, but from what I've seen she's really cool and wouldn't mind training with me later! Better hope I don't break my fist against those rock hard abs... I need abs.

To Haruka, Did you actually manage to drug most of the girls with one of your experiments and what do you think of Kokonoe? Fellow lab partner perhaps?

Haruka: I am not allowed to confirm nor deny if I have done such a thing. But as for Kokonoe, I have tried to talk to her before and see if we could work together at one point. But she just kinda brushed me off. I mean, blame a girl for being curious about the science of another world... done by a cat.

To Tager, (FINALLY BRINGING TAGER BACK IN THIS STORY!) What do you think of Labrys and Aigis and about their individual pasts?

Tager: Ah yes. The ASWs. Well, I can say that the two of them are quite the interesting young women, far more than machines. Aigis, despite her somewhat monotonous way of speaking, is quite the polite and considerate lady. And Labrys is quite enthusiastic and adventurous. Overall, the two of them are invaluable. However, their pasts are quite tragic. While Miss Aigis herself has not suffered personally, I cannot deny the things she had to do you can't help but feel bad about it. For the sake of confidentiality I will refrain from elaborating on it. And as for Miss Labrys, forced to grow through combat and carnage the way she was, no sentient creature should have to suffer through it. I can't deny that it is something of a miracle that they are as happy as they are now, surrounded by supportive friends.

To Elizabeth, what is your favorite skill? But you can't say Megidolaon because that would be too obvious.

Elizabeth: Oh, take all the fun out of it why don't you? I don't feel like I should answer if you're going to limit my options like that.

Margaret: Come now Elizabeth. They were polite enough to ask.

Elizabeth: But taking away an option, even if they knew it'd be my answer, was just rude!

Margaret: Sister.

Elizabeth: Oh, very well. Well to tell you the truth Mamudoon or Die For Me, if I have Alice equipped, are quite the satisfying spells to use. I also get a kick out of the sheer randomness of Summer Dream when you use both Titania and Oberon! And Black Viper and Morning Star are powerhouse moves, plain and simple, if you happen to have the right Persona. Which for us, is not an issue whatsoever.

Margaret: Don't you tend to use Infuriate, Provoke, or Evil Smile?

Elizabeth: Oh, I just do those regardless of whether or not I have a Persona.

From Jennie Gene: To Gordeau, Kagura, Adachi, and Junpei, can I get a hug?

Gordeau: Oh, what the heck! I'm not one to turn down a hug!

Kagura: Sure thing! You don't mind if my hands wander though, do you?

Adachi: Sorry, but physical contact is something I'm not privy too.

Junpei: Ah, sure! I don't mind!

From AzuriteInsanity: To any Blazblue character of your choosing, what's it like seeing Japan before it got destroyed?

Ragna: Freaking surreal. Plain and simple.

Mai: It's really weird.

Noel: I agree. Seeing people there so alive and happy. Half the time we're there, I don't really want to leave.

Makoto: Agreed. A lot of people don't even look at me weird for my ears or tail and think I'm just a cosplayer or something!

Tsubaki: Yes. It really does tug at the heart strings, especially with the fear of the future that could possibly be there for them.

/

Eltnum: And now for the author. That means you, so quit with the partial typing and speak in full.

Author: Got it!

Eltnum: Okay, good!

From Neptunia56: To the author, Have any ideas for a Teach me Miss Litchi or Help Me Professor Kokonoe chapter?

Author: While I haven't thought about it before, I can't deny that thinking of something for a story like that would be funny. I'll have to keep that in mind.

From AzuriteInsanity: What's a character (or characters) you haven't written in this story yet, that you would like to? And would you like us to send you some ideas regarding them?

Author: Well one that readily comes to mind, namely because I didn't know about them until the past month, was Kajun from Blazblue. I found her through a different fic, and from what I've seen she's utterly adorkable, so much as the author that wrote the story wrote her in character! Which, based on how Noel, Makoto, and Tsubaki behave, I'm inclined to believe. She's a precious patoot, plain and simple, it's just my inexperience that kept me from involving her before. You can feel free to leave me suggestions if you want, as I'm not one to deny you if you have an idea you'd like me to create, but honestly given time I'm sure I could come up with something myself. And this isn't so much a character I've yet to use, but rather a character I'd try to include more would be Wagner from UNIB. I'm just wondering what I could do with her.

Eltnum: Most of his conscious energy has been spent towards trying to get Seth a girlfriend since he's a tryhard shipper.

Author: Not true! ACHOO!

Eltnum: Agh! Don't sneeze on me!

Author: Sorry.

In all seriousness, thank you all so much for reading. It's hard to believe that I've been working on this fic for over a year now, and have since tried to expand and do more stories in addition to this. And in terms of making more stories, it's been a slow process, but I'm slowly getting out there. I've got SmashDimension Neptunia: Ultimate, which is a fun story I can do in my spare time. I'm planning on removing The Ones Who Bump Back in favor of not one, but TWO other ongoing series I hope to get started, and may bring it back one day with a revised version I've already planned. And hopefully, as time goes on and inspiration hits me, I'll continue to expand.

So to put it simply, thank you guys for the support. Thank you for helping me continue working on this. And please, don't stop giving me feedback. I only want to keep writing this fic for your guys' enjoyment. I have so much fun writing this series, I'm not gonna lie, and I want to know what you guys would like to see in terms of what to do next, or even working on other spin-offs that are connected. Let's make the whole Cross Tag Character Collision Cinematic Universe!

Eltnum: NERD!

Author: Quiet, you!

Alright, but I kid! So, I may have said it before, but I had a plan that I initially wanted to do act as a "proper" celebration for the one year anniversary. But I decided that these Q&As were a nice little thing to do, and yes there will be the separate fic page set-up so you guys can keep getting questions answered over there. And I have one last thing left to do.

So as I answer some of your guys' reviews that I purposefully did not do in the last part, thank you all so much for reading and asking more questions! Take care!


Epilogue: A Week Later.


Author: How in the world did you get sick!?

Eltnum: I...D*n*... *n**...

Author: I mean, you're part vampire! How can you even get a normal cold?

Eltnum: I... d*n*t... kn*w...

Author: Wait, what did you say?

Eltnum: I DON'T KNOW!


Review Time!

To zucoandgutyboy14: Huh, that's actually a really cool idea! Might tie that in with the long awaited Persona Dancing chapter. Truth be told, I did have the thoughts of doing a similar idea recently with an album released by DAGames on YouTube called "FLASHDRIVE" which was themed around colors, so this idea you suggested is just a little closer to home. Cool idea!

To Mystech Master: Can always count on you to leave some great ideas! If I hadn't gotten sick recently and was distracted by the Q&A stuff, I would have certainly scrambled to release that chapter but... what can you do? Maybe I'll do a call-back to that eventually. And the whole stuff you have for White Day is genius! XD Also, you mentioned that Blazblue is not in Japan, yeah... I did recall the Black Beast destroyed Japan, I just recalled that most of the Blazblue characters use Japanese honorifics and, well y'know the game is made in Japan, so I was just paraphrasing I guess you could say. BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS DARN IT! XD

To fernandamichelleraya: Yes, the Close Punches ship will have its time in the near future, don't you worry. I've done segments for literally every other official ship by this point, but I will have them together soon! And what do you mean Hazama's gone? He's right here answering questions! (I'm just kidding, he'll have his come back too. Don'tcha worry none.) And good to know about your thoughts on Adachi's pairing. I'll keep that in mind.

To SolarS: Yes! Let us salute Ragna the Bloodedge for his effort! Also, that heart bit was gold! So, uh... here, you can pay Reimu with that gold! XD

To Thee Guest: Yeah, I have a feeling mass destruction would follow if Jin saw Ragna. And not the song from Persona 3, but like, utter devastation! Also, good info to have on Ragna. Also, in regards to the idea of going Unlimited or having Shadow characters, I think that'd actually work well as different chapter ideas. I think it could be fun to have restrained Shadow characters just talkin' a lot of smack! XD

To Praxus84: Thank ye kindly!

To Will DeGrave: That's a great suggestion! The only reason why I have Dark Heart hiding in the shadows for now not interacting with her counterpart is the fact that AH3: Six Stars Xtend isn't out yet, which is where Dark Heart will make her debut, and I don't actually know how they're going to interact. We don't even know if she's an actual clone of Heart, or Heart from another dimension, or any of that crap. Namely I just have her here to hype the game! But if I feel especially into it, I may cave and do that if the game doesn't come out soon. So... thanks for the content!

To AmethystRibbonKnight: Glad to hear you liked the chapter and the Ragna x Mitsuru pairing! It's really grown on me too, even if it just started as a whim. And sure enough, Relius will show up again in the future. And without giving much away, one certain Prince of Junes might~ have choice words to say to the good Mr. Clover. (Douchebag!) Also, in terms of your response to Ch.44, what do you mean Eltnum is my straightman? How is the vampire Deadpool my straightman!? (jk.)

To Anon: A very interesting concept. I certainly think that Ozpin and Terumi would have interesting things to discuss about their respective origins.

To Toot: Hey, if you guys want, I can show just what Teddie was doing. I mean, you never know, I could get Wagner some more time that way.

To Yuuki Itsuka: Yeah.

To 4bitwriter: Now that you mention it, twice over I've actually had the QUEEN herself Arturia Pendragon show up twice over. Once in my second chapter, "Attack of the Cameos" and later still in Chapter 11 "Puppies Solve Everything". The first was in reference to how not only was F/GO thought of for BBTAG, but also Avatar: The Last Airbender, Nier: Automata, and Skullgirls! The second one was in reference to the fact that Senran Kagura and Arcana Heart had crossed over with each other before in a 2d fighter by the name of Nitroplus Blasterz, where Saber (Arturia) was a playable fighter. Since then, I've learnt WAY~ more about the Fate series and its confusing as all get-out origins, leading me to think that I should do more with it. I will admit, Musashi is an interesting suggestion and one I hadn't thought of. If you guys want more Fate related stuff, not in CTCC but maybe a different fic, HIT ME UP!

To AzuriteInsanity: Great to hear your thoughts! Also, those ship names are awesome! Personally, I'm leaning more towards Grim Execution as their ship name! Also, glad to hear that Q&A section was easy to read. Hopefully the same can be said for this one. (Namely because I don't think I changed anything!)

To the Guest who mentioned Mitsuru talking down Rachel, I certainly think that's warranted. At first, I didn't really think a fic like that was deserved, but now? Let me tell you, Ragna's gonna be steamy after seeing the Queen of Executions berating the annoying rabbit! Also, thank you for being understanding.

And to the Guest who refernced training for the Investigation Team - GENIUS! I NEED THAT TO HAPPEN! I think I made that point clear.

With all that said and done, thank you all so much for reading and supporting this fic for over a year! Have a wonderful evening and take care!

Thank You:

Ruby: Thank you all so much for reading and enjoying! It means the world to us!

Yu: Thank you all for your continued support.

Hyde: It's been a wild ride. Thanks for enjoying the... chaos that is our lives.

Yosuke: Glad to hear that you guys have enjoyed our stuff!

Makoto: -and that you particularly enjoyed seein' me get together with this little dork!

Weiss: I hope we can continue to entertain.

Noel: Y-yeah! Hopefully you keep enjoying!

Blake: Truly, every request and bit of feedback is appreciated and helps us out a lot.

Heart: I love you all! Live and let love!

Yumi: Please don't stop giving us suggestions.

Yang: But keep it clean! For real though, glad you guys love this and hopefully we can keep it up!

Akatsuki: Your suggestions and reviews help not only to let us know where to improve, but give a drive to keep going.

Akihiko: Seriously. Everything you do helps out a load.

Mitsuru: We appreciate everything. Ragna? Do you have anything to say?

Ragna: ... Thank you.
