Strangers in Remnant Chapter 40: Week of Freedom, a Black★Rock Shooter + RWBY Crossover fanfic

A/N There will be no time order for this. There will be lots of timeskips and stuff like that so just pay no attention to that. This chapter is full of mini clips and scenes that may or may not relate to each other. Some scenes may be longer than others. Hope you enjoy. I've tried to give each character an equal amount of screen time so i hope none of you are dissatisfied.

Also, this has nothing to do with the chapter but has anyone notice that the initials for Strangers In Remnant literally spells "SIR" as is "hello sir". I actually just noticed that...anyways I'll be quiet now.

Team KNOL's Dorm

"And that's what happen." Nepgear finished.

Uni looked at Nepgear, her mind still processing the waves of information Nepgear just gave her a moment ago.

To Otonashi's surprise, Uni didn't seem that shocked.

"So you stuck in another world...again." Uni theorised, "and I'm only here because you somehow summoned me but I'll soon return after my time limit runs out."

"What do you mean by again?!" Otonashi asked.

"That's correct." Nepgear replied, "I know it's a lot to take in."

"Well now that were on the same page." Yuuki clapped her hands together before leaning closer to Uni, "Tell us about yourself."

Uni leaned back, "Ah, umm well...w-what do you want to know?"

"Well, Nepgear has already told me a lot about you." Yuuki admitted, "She really likes to talk about you."

Uni instantly turns to look at Nepgear with hints of red on his cheek, "You did?! What did you tell her? You better have not told her all my se- I mean, ah- What did you tell her?"

Nepgear tilts her head in confusion, "Of course I do, you're my best friend after all. It always helped me when I was homesick. I only told her about what you're like, and all your likes and dislikes."

"Is something wrong?" Yuuki asked.

Uni then realises that she overreacted a bit and turned her head, "I was just asking. I just didn't want to tell you something you already know, that's all."

Yuuki seem to buy it, "Oh okay."

In the background, Levi was busy dusting off a large spider web that was in the very corner of the room while Otonashi was vacuuming the entire floor over and over and over against his will.

Team TINN's Dorm

"Umm...ah, anu..."

"What's wrong Mary?" Natsu asked the white-haired child.

That was enough to make Mary jump in shyness as she hid herself behind Takane's back.

"Stop it Natsu, you're scaring her." Takane glared at Natsu.

"What did I do-" Natsu stopped talking as he noticed something was on Takane's face.

Natsu looked at her face for a couple of seconds which Takane noticed, "What? Is there something on my face?"

Natsu began bursting into pure laughter.

"What's so funny?" Takane asked raising an eyebrow which only made Natsu laugh louder.

Fortunately there was a mirror nearby that Takane could look at.

Her eyes widened. Someone had taken a black marker and drew a moustache, glasses and beard on Takane's face.

Turns out Mary wanted to tell Takane about it all morning but she was too shy to talk with Natsu in the room.

Natsu laughed even more as Takane clenched her fist in anger.

There was only on boy who had the guts to do this, "NA-RU-TO!"

In the background, they hear the giggles of the ninja.

Takane instantly broke into a sprint, leaving Mary in the room with the laughing Natsu and chased Naruto all over the dorm.

Illya woke up to the sound of yelling and running. She slowly sat up... only to have Naruto step on her face as a boast to run away from Takane.

Illya fell back on her bed as her consciousness slowly faded away.

Ruby the magical wand flew out of Illya's hair and stretched, "Ahhhhhh, good morning every- ILLYA-CHAN!? OMG, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"

Team STAB's Dorm

"Morning Blanc. What are you doing?" Shido asked noticing Blanc was up early.

Without even looking at him, Blanc replied briefly, "Writing."

"That's cool! So you're an author?" Shido asked.

"Well...I want to be one." Blanc said debating whether she should be telling her team this.

"Wow! I never expected that from someone like you." Shido complemented.

Blanc slowly glared at Shido, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Shido panicked at her glare, "No, I didn't mean it like that it's just-"

"Morning everyone!" Tooru said entering the living room, "Anyone want some tea?"

Blanc raised her arm and went back to writing while Shido sighed in relief.

Tooru noticed what Blanc was doing and asked, "Oh you're writing a book!? Mind if I read it?"

Unexpectedly, Blanc perked up a bit with hope which Shido had never seen before.

"You sure?" Blanc asked a bit hesitant.

Tooru smiled gently, "Sure! I'm sure it's good if you were the one who wrote it."

A smile red blush appeared on eh girl's cheek.

"Exactly!" Shido joined in, "What's the worst that could happen?"

Blanc just glared at Shido causing the boy to backaway before saying, "Well I haven't finished this one but I guess you can read this one."

Blanc pulls out a bag.

"How many has she written?" Shido asked himself.

Blanc pulls out a red cover book and hands it to Tooru, "Read this one, I think you might like it."

(Few moments later)

Shido and Tooru just stare at the book looking desperately for words to say.

They had just read a few chapters and honestly...it wasn't good...at all.

But it wasn't like they could say just that to Blanc.

"Well?" Blanc asked waiting for an answer.

Shido looked at Tooru. Surely a nice and considerate guy like Tooru could find something good about the book they was reading. At least that was what Shido hoped.

His hope was instantly crushed when he saw the look on Tooru's face. Tooru was smiling gently but it was obvious that he was trying really had to look at the bright side. Even though there was no bright side about Blanc's book.

Suddenly, the door to the opened and Asuna entered, "Hey guys! Sorry I just had to check on Kirito."

"This early in the morning?"

"Anyways what are you guys doing?" Asuna asked.

Shido got an idea, he grabbed the book and gave it to Asuna, "Asuna! Read this! Tell us what you think!"

(Few moments later)

"This is really bad." Asuna said instantly.

Shido and Tooru froze.

"The plot doesn't make sense and the characters are so dull and cliche." Asuna continued, "I got bored after reading the first-"

Asuna stopped when she realised the expression on Tooru's, Shido's and most impontaly, Blanc's expression.

Asuna looked at the book, then at Blanc, then back at the book, then at Blanc and then back at the book.

A heavy feeling appeared in Asuna's stomach as she finally realized, "oh you wrote this!? Sorry, my bad."

Team KNPY's Dorm

"So ah...what should we do?" Neptune whispered.

"We have three options." Kotori replied with a serious expression.

"Why is it always three?"

"Option 1: We leave them be. Option 2: We wake both of them up. Option 3: We carefully pull her out of this situation." Kotori explained while also trying to be quiet.

Neptune thought about her options, "Well Option 3 is suicide and Option 2 won't work because that girl isn't going to wake up till noon...or maybe even longer."

"So option 1?" Kotori asked.

"Sure, but won't that-"

The pair were interrupted when Yoshino began to slowly wake up from her sleep.

Slowly waking up to the feeling of something holding, Yoshino's eyes slowly flickered opened...only to freeze in fear to find that Plutia was using her a body pillow.

Plutia giggled creepily in her sleep as she hugged Yoshino tighter like a teddy bear, her sleep talk was even creepier, "Were going to sooooo much fuuuuun!"

Yoshinon the puppet covered her ears as Yoshino opened her mouth...and screamed.

Team KSYS's Dorm

"You're up early." Shinoa commented as Kirito walked into the kitchen.

"Asuna came to check on me." Kirito answered sleepily as he yawned.

"Again?" Yu asked as he gulped his glass of milk, "Man your girlfriend sure

"How do you two wake up so early?" Kirito asked sleepily.

"I guess that's what war does to you?" Shinoa joked as she handed Kirito a half cooked egg, "Here I made an omelette."

"Well as least she didn't burn them this time." Yu said to Kirito looking at the egg.

Suddenly, Sinon poked her head into the kitchen in her pajamas, "Did anyone hear that?"

"Hear what?" Kirito asked.

"I could've sworn I heard Yoshino scream-"

Suddenly a blizzard entered the dorm.

Team SKYJ's Dorm

Saturn, in her smaller form, popped her tiny head out of the snow, "Where did all this snow come from?!'

"Plutia probally scared Yoshino...again." Yuri replied.

"Seriously? Professor Goodwitch was mad enough the first time it happen." Saturn commented, "Can you help me Yuri?"

"Sure," Yuri came from the kitchen with a shovel and looked. Saturn was stuck in the snow with only her head popping out.

"What?" Saturn asked noticing Yuri's stare, "Something on my face?"

"You're so adorable when you're in that form." Yuri commented.

"CAN YOU PLEASE JUST HELP ME?!"

"Okay, okay." Yuri grabbed Saturn's head with on hand lifted her up from the snow. Saturn's originally body was as small as Yuri's head.

Saturn then transformed back into her human form and was now way taller than Yuri.

"Goodwitch should be here to clean up the mess again. We'll just wait till then." Yuri advised.

"Sure, though isn't it very early to-"

Suddenly, TK pops out of the snow and points finger guns at Saturn speaking in english, "Hello beautiful."

"WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?"

Meanwhile, Yuri noticed two odd things in the snow.

At first it just looked like two perfectly shaped, white rocks but at closer inspection, Yuri realised it was two heads with white hair, "AH! Julie! Kanade! Hang on! I'll get you two out of there!"

Team KNOL's Dorm

Uni and Nepgear were cuddling together in a blanket shivering in the snow.

On the other hand, Yuuki was loving it as it was one of the first times she had ever seen snow.

As Yuuki made snow angels on the ground, Otonashi and Levi looked at the state of the dorm.

Otonashi laughed nervosuly, "Man, Professor Goodwitch isn't going to happy that she has to clean snow from the dorms all over again. Am I right Levi?"

Levi just looked at Otonashi and handed him a broom, "Start cleaning brat."

"Seriously?!"

Team KSYS's Dorm

Kirito, Sinon, Shinoa and Yu just stared at the snowy mess with a blank expression.

Shinoa looked at the half cooked egg she cooked which was now covered in snow.

She then looked at her team, "Let's just have breakfast at the cafeteria."

"Yeah that would be great." Sinon agreed.

"We'll join you!" Asuna called from the door.

Team KSYS looked and saw Team STAB outside their dorm.

Blanc looked really upset for some reason while Shido was clutching his head in pain. Tooru laughed nervously.

Team TINN's Dorm

Mary shivers adorably in the corner of the room while hugging her knees. Takane is with her trying to calm her down with a blanket.

Naruto is having the time of his life jumping in and out of the snow.

Natsu's frustratedly burst out of the snow that covered their dorm and yelled, "AAAHHH! IT'S TOO COLD IN HERE! Fire Draagon's-"

Illya noticed what he was about to do, "Natsu don't-"

"ROAR!"

Natsu's flames engulfed the entire room burning all the snow...along with everything else that was in it.

"over do it." Illya finishes her sentence.

Mary was still adorable sitting in the corner of the room hugging her knees, but this time she was sweating instead of shivering.

Takane is with her trying to calm her down while taking away the blanket she gave to Mary.

Team MHYA's Dorm

Mato slowly woke up.

As her eyes flickered opened, she could feel something cold on her face.

Mato opened her eyes and the first thing she saw Black on her right looking directly at her.

"AAHH!" Mato jumped causing the snow on her head to fall on the bed. Mato instinctively looked left and the next first thing she saw was Miku smiling at her wearing her Twinkle Snow Outfit.

"AAHH!" Mato jumped again and fell off the bed.

Stella, who was still in her head, was a bit confused, "What's wrong Mato?"

"AAHH!" Mato screamed for the third time as she forgot that Stella was in her head.

From a distance, Yuu and Strength watch with a blank stare.

"Geez, you would think Mato had gotten used to it by now." Yuu commented, "I mean it is creepy to have two people stare at at you while your sleeping along with someone inside your head but it's been weeks, Mato should be expecting it by now."

Strength just looks at Yuu, "I always stare at you while you're sleeping."

"Anyways, we should probally go eat- WAIT WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?"

Strength ignored Yuu and said, "Yeah I agree. We should probally get something to eat while we wait for Professor Goodwitch to clean up this snowy mess."

"OI! Don't ignore my question!"

Team YMKE's Dorm

Yomi woke up to the feeling of winter.

She sat up and was surprised to see the dorm was covered in snow.

Yomi was about to question it but then remembered that this had happen before with Yoshino.

Suddenly, Kagari popped out of snow oddly excited, "Morning Yomi!"

"Morning."

"Look there's snow again! Want to make a snowman?" Kagari asked.

"No thank you."

"How about snowbow fight?" Kagari threw a small snowball at Yomi's lap.

Yomi wiped the snow off her lap, "I don't think Ms Goodwitch would want that."

Kagari was beginning to run out of ideas, "I still have that tea set that Yang gave me, you wanna-"

"Sorry, I don't feel like it." Yomi said with a depressed face. Yomi slowly walked to the exit ignoring the snow with her face facing the floor.

Once Yomi left, Kagari sighed out of concern and mostly frustration.

Dead Master, who watched everything happened, turn to look at Chariot.

Chariot shrugged, "At least she tried."

Team RWBY's Dorm

"I know we have semblances and auras and stuff like that. But I never believe that magic was actually real." Weiss commented. A pile of snow then falls on top of Weiss's head, "At least that's what I thought till those guys arrived."

Blake continued reading her book, "How many times have this happened before?"

A snow ball flew past Blake's head.

While Weiss and Blake were concerned about the mess, Ruby and Yang took this an opportunity.

They weren't able to do it last time since Goodwitch cleaned it up before they could so nwo they were spending this time to it's full potential.

"Hey Ruby! Cease fire! I have an idea." Yang said.

Ruby stopped to listen, "What do you have in mind?"

Team JNPR's Dorm

Despite the snow, no one was really worried since Goodwitch easily fixed it last time.

"Are you sure we shouldn't ask them?" Jaune finally asked.

"If they want to tell us, they will." Pyrrha replied respecting their privacy.

"Besides, they must have reasons for hiding their abilities." Ren added, "Ozpin said not to worry too much about it."

"Yeah but they're not really doing a good job at hiding it though are they." Nora commented as she popped out of a pile of snow.

Suddenly the door flew open and a snowball was thrown inside the dorm hitting Jaune in the head.

Everyone looked to see Team RWBY at the door.

Ruby and Yang had more snowballs in their hands with grins on their faces.

Blake had nothing else to do so she joined in.

Weiss joined since everyone else was doing it, "Isn't a bit too early to be doing this?"

Nora was the first to react, "OH! Hohoho! I see what this is!" Nora picked up a pile of snow, "If it's war you want, then war is what you'll get!"

Yang chuckled excited, "You better watch out or I'll give you all a...cold shoulder."

Everyone groaned at Yang's pun giving Nora the opportunity to make the first strike.

The room turned into a winter warzone.

Team RWBY got hit in the heads, arms and stomach around 10-20 times while Team JNPR received almost the same amount of hits.

But that all changed when Nora pulled out an ice pole out of literally a pile of snow. She threw a ball of snow into the air and swung her hammer like a baseball bat.

The snowbow zoomed towards Ruby. Ruby quickly ducked and the snowball hit Jaune in the face instead.

Yang got a lightbulb moment, "So that's how you want to play huh?"

From that moment, Yang gave up on throwing. She punched her fist into two piles of snow and lifted them revealing her fist was covered in a balls of snow.

She sprinted towards the closest person nearby which was Ren.

Ren got into position with hundreds of mini snowballs in his arms. As Yang got closer, Ren pulled back his arms and fired them all at Yang.

Yang stopped dead in her tracks, "RUBY!"

"Coming sis!" Ruby appeared in front of Yang with a thin stick of ice.

Her arms becoming a blur, Ruby deflected every snowball that Ren fired at her.

Pyrrha and Jaune ran past Ren while Weiss and Blake ran past Ruby and Yang.

Blake pulled out a long dark purple ribbon.

Weiss had somehow found a ice object that was in the similar shape of her rapier.

Both Jaune and Pyrrha were holding blocks of snow and ice like shields with snowbows in their other hand.

Nora jumped and swung her ice pole downwards on the entire group.

Everyone either jumped back or tripped from Nora's action.

Yang charged and threw her snowball fist at Nora.

Nora jumped to evade but Blake had a snowball with her ribbon wrapped around it. She twirled her ribbon and catapulted her snowball at Nora while she was in mid air.

Nora, who was getting way too into the game, skillfully deflected the snowball with her ice pole. She proceeded to throw her pole at both Blake and Yang.

Both Blake and Yang jumped to the side and the ice pole headed for Jaune.

However, this time Jaune was ready as he blocked with his block of ice that he was using as a shield.

Ruby appeared behind Jaune, "GOT YOU!"

"Oh no you don't!" Pyrrha interfered. She carefully aimed an ice spear and threw it catching Ruby by her hood.

As a result, Ruby hanged on the wall with a spear impaled through her red hood.

"Ruby!" Yang called. Yang turned to look back at Pyrrha.

Only to see that Pyrrha and Jaune was right in front of her.

Both Jaune and Pyrrha pulled back their snowball fist and snowball punched Yang in the face sending her flying across the snowy dorm.

"Yang!" Ruby tried to free herself.

Weiss and Blake took cover from the snowballs Ren were firing at them.

When Ren ran out of snowballs, both Blake and Weiss charged at Ren.

"HA!" Nora emerged from a pile of snow behind Blake and Weiss, "I HAVE YOU JUST WHERE I NEED YOU!"

There were already a huge pile of snowballs waiting for her. Nora pulled back her pole and swung it firing every hundreds of snowballs at Blake and Weiss.

Blake and Weiss suffered the full force of every snowball that was fired in their way. They were sent flying and flew past Ren's side.

"Weiss! Blake!" Ruby finally freed herself and picked up her long ice stick.

Nora cracked her knuckles and stretched her knuckles with a triumphant smile, "So were back to here again are we? The only survivor verses all four of us! Come at us Ruby! Your semblance won't help you win, the same trick won't work on us twice."

Ruby just smiled.

Suddenly, Nora felt something grabbed her leg, "Not today Nora!"

Nora looked down and saw Yang was still in the game. Yang stood up and threw Nora in Weiss's direction.

Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren were about to help when suddenly Blake appeared behind them and tripped their legs with her ribbon.

Weiss stood up and swung her ice weapon as Yang threw Nora towards her.

Nora somehow positions her ice pole and blocked.

Their ice weapons clashed: They both broke.

Nora landed nicely, her legs skating across the snow while Weiss jumped back to regroup with her team.

Team JNPR stood back up and faced Team RWBY.

"I see you improved from last time." Nora complemented referring to the food fight.

"We won before and we'll do it again." Ruby replied triumphantly

Each team reloaded slowly...before charging head on at each other.

Blake spun her ribbon which was wrapped around a snowball.

Yang threw her snowball fist.

Ruby swung her ice stick.

Weiss and Nora went back to old fashion and threw a single snowball.

Ren picked up a pile of snowballs with his arms and he threw them all at once.

Pyrrha and Jaune charged head in first with their ice blocks in front of them like shield.

The two teams were about to clash when suddenly a light purple aura scanned the room causing all snow and ice to disappear.

Broken furniture, snowy beds garbage and left over food all began levitating and returning to their usual spots. Beds were neat and tidy, furniture was no longer broken dn back in it's original place and all garbage and left over food were placed in the bin.

Within a single minute, the dorm was back to it's original state.

Everyone looked at the entrance to the dorm and saw Glynda with her arms cross while tapping her shoe. She didn't look happy nor did she look surprised.

All at once, everyone chorused a loud, "AWWWWWW!"

Once Glynda had cleaned up the snowy mess and left much to Uni's relief, everyone sat down.

"So now that's over, can you guys show me around? I really want to see what this world is like." Uni asked

Levi just glared at Uni, "Over? Oh no this room is far from over." he says while picking up brooks, vacuums and other cleaning supplies.

Otonashi took a step back, "EH? But Glynda-"

"didn't finish the job." Levi interrupted putting on a pair of cleaning gloves on, "Now get to work."

Nepgear just laughed nervously while Uni couldn't believe how much of a clean freak Levi turned out ot be.

"Yuuki help, Levi wants us to..." Uni stopped when she saw Yuuki in the kitchen happily cleaning the dishes for the third time. Yuuki was even humming a happy song.

"Why is she so enthusiastic about this?" Uni asked.

Nepgear forgot to tell Uni about that. As a girl who's lived most of her life in a hospital bed, Yuuki had grown grateful of everything and wanted to live her second life to the fullest...that included chores.

"You should learn thing or two from Ms Konno and actually follow orders." Levi scolded.

"ISN'T YUUKI THE LEADER?!"

Sun and Uranus came out of nowhere.

"Freeze! Junior detectives here!"

"We have badges so you know it's official." Uranus said with a charming smile.

After that intro we are placed in a different part of the city where Sun is hiding behind a pole while Uranus is hiding behind...the same pole.

Despite being right to each other, Sun pulls out a walkie talkie, "SunnyTail to BlueTiger, I have spotted a very suspicious random guy, over"

"This is BlueTiger to SunnyTail, I see him as well, what should we do? Over." Uranus replied through his walkie talkie.

"SunnyTail to BlueTiger, continue observations and look out for any random suspicious behaviour. Over."

"Copy that."

On a bench, not far from Sun's and Uranus's position, a random suspicious guy is sitting down while reading a newspaper.

Suddenly, the random suspicious guy gets a phone call, "Who is it? ...*Gasp* Honey! It's so nice to hear your voice again! How are the kids? ...oh don't worry, I'll be back home very soon okay...Aww I miss you too...I love you too...no I love you more...well I love you more than that...no I love you more..."

Back at the pole,

"BlueTiger to SunnyTail, the target seems to be engrossed in a serious conversation with whoever is the other end of that phone call, I think he may talking to his boss, over."

"SunnyTail to BlueTiger. Bring out the recorder, it's time we finally expose this random, evil, suspicious, secret, organisation, over."

"Copy that."

Back at the bench, the random suspicious guy is still on the phone, "no I'll hang up...no I'll hang up- You what, we'll hang up to together. 3...2...1..."

The guy hanged up and smiled happily, "Can't wait to get back home. Man all that talking made me thirsty though."

The random suspicious guy pulls out a bottle of water.

Uranus' eyes widened in shock as he saw the bottle, he yelled into his walkie talkie even though Sun was right next to him, "BLUETIGER TO SUNNYSUN! THE TARGET IS ON TO US! OVER"

"SunnySun to BlueTiger, how can you tell over?"

"HIS PULLED OUT SOME SORT OF DANGEROUS DRUG! WE HAVE TO STOP HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"

Uranus dived and tackled the random suspicious guy, "FREEZE! DON'T MOVE!"

The guy looked at Uranus like he had gone insane.

Sun walked and picked up the bottle, "Dude...it's just water."

"DON'T TOUCH IT! IT MIGHT KILL YOU!" Uranus slapped the bottle out of Sun's hand. Uranus then disappeared and then reappeared wearing a Hazmat suit.

With huge metal tongs, he picked up the bottle and threw it in a furnace.

Uranus then got a flamethrower and burned the furnace to ashes.

He then grabbed a hammer and began smashing the pile of ashes over and over until he was satisfied.

The random suspicious guy and Sun just stare at Uranus who was panting like a wild man.

Then, in the background, we hear a choir sing the words:

"Junior Detectives!"

Team CFVY's Dorm

Yatsuhashi was sleeping on the couch that barely held his body weight while Fox took a nap on one of the beds.

Velvet quietly and carefully raised her camera and took photos of the two boys sleeping.

After a couple of snaps, the bunny girl turned around and tiptoed out the room.

Only to freeze dead in her tracks as Coco was standing at the door of the room with her arms cross and her sunglasses below her eyes.

The Ellingsworth Village

Natalia Ellingsworth was in the kitchen of her home cooking lunch, "Do you want carrots in your soup or lettece?"

Ashley Heart, who was sitting at the table with her head sleeping on her arms, smiled blissfully before saying in a very sleepy tone, "I can have both. Nataly's cooking is always the best."

"Alright! Just wait. Lunch will be ready in a moment."

The door opened and a man with short brown hair, the same colour as Natalia's, entered the room.

"Father!" Natalia welcomed, "You're back!"

"Hi Arthy!" Ashley waved like a child.

The man's name was actually Arthur. A professional huntsmen like Ashley.

"Hallo girls. Nice to see you two are as close ever." Arthur greeted as he placed his sword near the door, "Lunch sure smells good. Need any help?"

"It's fine, you must be tired from working anyway." Natalia asked, "So how was work?"

"Oh the usual, nothing too serious to worry about." Arthur said before looking at the sleepy girl, "How you Ashley, how did your mission go?"

"Oh it was really fun!" Ashley said joyfully, "I made new friends. Friends who could speak Japany."

Natailia's father looks at Ashley, "Japany? What language is that?"

He received soft snoring as a response.

"Hehehehe..." Ashley giggled in her sleep, "Ja-pa-ny... Oh hi Blanny!"

"Ah, she fell asleep." Arthur observed.

Natalia smiled as she walked up to the table and placed Ashley's bowl soup in front of her, "Lunch is ready."

Almost instantly, Ashley clapped her hands together, "itadakimasu!"

"And now she's awake."

Natalia just laughed happily.

"I wonder what Natalia's laugh is like." Nathan Davis said to himself.

"Wow Nathan, I knew you were in love but I didn't know you were obsessed." David Roy teased as he walked towards him.

"I'm not obsessed, I just- Wait DAVID?! What are you doing here?" Nathan asked.

"I've got some spare time so I just wanted to check on you while you work." David replied casually, "Anyways what are you doing here?"

"Prison transfer," Nathan replied, "I was told to come here escort the first most wanted criminal in Remnant to the Vale Prison."

"Seriously?!" David asked in disbelief, "Just you?"

Nathan nodded. He handed David the paperwork that contained all the info.

"But I thought she was arrested in Mistral." David said out of confusion.

"Apparently the Mistral council didn't want to contain such a powerful individual so they moved her to here." Nathan replied.

David looked closer at the paperwork that Nathan gave him, "Let's see...it says here that it was discovered she was the true heir of the Gladstone company, but even so, she was arrested for multiple murders and using illegal poisons...interesting...huh? Why does it say here, "Handcuffs are optional", what's that supposed to mean?"

Nathan shrugged, "Not sure, but from what I heard, she isn't that dangerous. In fact, rumors say she came in willingly."

Before David could reply, someone interrupted.

"Hello gentlemen. Nice weather we're having."

Nathan and David looked to see a woman had approached them. The woman had pale skin, pink hair and pink eyes. She wore a butterfly headphone accessory on her head and had a lollipop in her mouth.

David leaned to Nathan and whispered, "What do you think? Does she suit your taste?"

Nathan replied by stepping David in the foot, "Hello Ma'am. What brings you here?"

"Hmm? Oh the authorities told me to come here to meet you." The woman replied before remembering, "OH yeah, forgot to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Chelsea. Chelsea Gladstone."

David and Nathan blinked twice before letting out a loud, "HAAAAAAAAA?"

The two huntsman looked around. There were no police or anyone guarding her. Nor was she wearing handcuffs or anything to contain her. She wasn't even wearing her prison uniform. In fact, the two didn't believe it was her until Chelsea gave them a letter that the authorities gave her.

"Whoa, they sure must trust your a lot." David commented as he read the letter with Nathan, "Or are they just scared of you?"

Chelsea smiled as she let out her hand, "Nice to meet you, I guess you'll be my escort for today."

"Y-yeah." Nathan replied as he shook hands with Chelsea, he couldn't believe the person in front of him was responsible for murder and using deadly poison on someone, "I'm Nathan Davis."

"And I'm David Roy." David shook hands with Chelsea next with a charming smile, "Say, are you by any chance single? If so," David grinned as he patted Nathan on the head, "I have the perfect candidate for you."

Nathan responded by stepping on David's foot again, "Have you forgotten who she is?"

"Oh I would love to," Chelsea joked sarcastically, "but let me guess, he's in love with someone else isn't he?"

David laughed, "Is it really that obvious?"

"How did you know that?" Nathan asked a bit embarrassed.

"Anyone could tell by looking at your face," Chelsea replied with a grin, "So what's her name?" Chelsea asked even though she knew the answer.

"Natalia." Nathan answered.

"Sounds like the perfect couple," Chelsea said with a gentle smile, "I'm sure fate will bring you two together."

"That's what I tell him," David chuckled as he gave his friend a friendly punch, "although it is kinda annoying since he always ignores all the other beautiful ladies that cross paths with him, you know...like you."

Chelsea just grinned in amusement, "You know, you seem very flirtatious for someone who claims to have no interest in romance."

With the same grin as Chelsea's, David replied, "and you seem to know a lot about me even though we just met."

"Oh no, it's seem you've caught me red handed." Chelsea joked trying to imitate a damsel in distress. She then pointed at the paperwork that Nathan gave to David earlier, "Have you read the third page?"

With a suspicious look, Nathan and David looked at the third page. Chelsea hadn't read the paperwork so how did she know?

They eyes skimmed the words on the third page until their eyes settled on a sentence that was printed in bold: If possible, do not make any physical contact with the criminal.

David looked back at Chelsea who was just smiling innocently.

"You cheeky little-"

Saturn was casually sitting on a chair enjoying a really delicious strawberry milk shake that she brought when suddenly-

"It's my turn!"

All the liquid in Saturn's mouth was blasted out and the female console stepped away from TK, "WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?!"

In the cafeteria Julie and Kanade were casually eating.

Julie was eating a steak while Kanade had curry.

Suddenly Natsu approached them with a small white haired girl next to him.

Without giving the two girls a chance to reply, Natsu who seemed to be in a hurry quickly asked, "Hey can you take care of Mary- Thanks! See ya!"

He then left leaving behind a very shy and scared Mary.

Julie and Kanade that looked at Mary with a blank expression.

The nervous girl took a step back as they stared at her. Mary was not good with strangers.

The blank staring continued for some time.

Not knowing how to deal with children, Kanade scooped a bit of her food with a spoon and offered it to Mary, "Hungry?"

Mary didn't move as she thought. Takane trusted Natsu and Natsu trusted these two girls so...

After deciding that wondering off along in this world wouldn't end well, Mary nervously nodded. The small child slowly approached Kanade and Kanade fed Mary the small spoonful of curry.

Almost a split second later, the spiciness of the curry overwhelmed Mary's mouth. Mary's face turned blood red and she ended up fainting.

Kanade tilted her head in confusion while a piece of Julie's hair moved left and right.

Not sure on what happened, Kanade picked up the unconscious girl and layed Mary's head on her lap.

It was then, Otonashi and Tooru came back with their plate of food. Tooru was already in middle of eating his plate of meat.

"Hey Kanade, you want to try- WHO IS THAT?" Otonashi pointed at Mary.

"Oh Otanoshi, let me introduce you," Kanade pointed at the the unconsciouness girl whose face was still really red from the spicy curry, "This is Natsu's friend, Mary."

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"

"So you can create...anything?"

Jason turned and looked at Kagari, "Yes. That is my ability after all."

"Okay, can you create a..." Kagari thought about her question, "cute doll that has wheels for legs."

Chariot flinched when Kagari said that.

"OH! And make it big enough so it can have a stove as a stomach and whisks as hands."

Jason clicked his fingers.

Thousands and thousands of blue and white micro appeared and combined together creating a blue and white cute doll with wheels for legs and a large stove as a stomach.

Kagari looked at it. It was in great detail and seemed to be very funational as well. It looked exactly as Kagari imagined it in her head. Well...it almost did.

"Why is it blue and white?"

"Seriously?"

After eating the fire that had "accidentally" occurred in one of the dorms, Natsu rubbed his tummy in satisfactory.

But then he remebered he was wearing gaunlets so it ended up hurting a bit.

Suddenly Takane appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Natsu's shoulders, "WHERE'S MARY!?"

Natsu blinked, "Mary?" He then remembered who she was talking about and replied casually, "Oh she's with Kanade and Julie."

Takane just looked at Natsu like he was an idiot, "You moron! I already told you Mary doesn't do well with strangers."

"OHHHH! Yeah I forgot about that."

Takane facepalmed.

Vale Prision

In one of the cells, two inmates were introducing themselves to each other. As they were sharing the small cell.

"Hallo, I'm Allisa Revolver." The girl introduced, "I was caught by Team CFVY."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Chelsea Gladstone."

"Whoa! So the rumors are true, you really are here!" Allisa said in awe before fully understanding that the Chelsea was in front of her, "I'm not sure what to feel now, sharing a cell with you."

Chelsea chukled, "Oh don't worry, I won't bite."

"You won't? So you can bite?"

"Yep!"

"I imagine you would've been a bit more nasty considering all the rumors I've heard about you but you're surprisingly kind for someone whose apparently committed murder." Alissa commented, "I mean I only robbed clothing stores."

"I get that a lot." Chelsea replied.

"But man, with you here, this prison seems to be getting bigger and bigger." Allisa continued, "I mean all the most wanted are here: James Modred, Blitz Mudlark, Broad Gargoyle, William Henchmen, Dark Runner and now you. I never thought I would see the day the top ten most wanted criminals go down in flames."

"Yeah, it sure is."

"Anyways! How did you get caught?" Allisa asked changing the subject.

"One team from Mistral and three from Vale." Chelsea replied.

"Ouch, that must've been hard, being ganged up on like that." Allisa sympathesized, "But at least they didn't underestimate you."

"It wasn't actually that bad," Chelsea said with a smile remembering the people she met, "I actually made friends with a lot of them."

"Somehow I can actually see that." Allisa complemented, "You're very easy to talk to. Which is really rare since the other prisoners here don't talk much. So I'm really glad to meet you."

"Likewise."

The two girls shook hands causing Chelsea to smile brighter.

"So is your entire family still robbing banks?" Chelsea suddenly asked.

Allisa sighed, "Yeah, I just followed them since it ran in the family- Wait...how did you know that?"

Chelsea just laughed playfully.

"So you can create anything?"

Jason turned and looked at Naruto, "Yes. That is my ability after all."

"Okay, can you create a..." Naruto thought about what to a say, "an automatic, flying, giant shuriken that lights things on fire when it hits."

Jason clicked his fingers.

Thousands and thousands of tiny blue and white micro cubes appeared and combined together to create a automatic, flying, giant shuriken.

"WHOA!" Naruto exclaimed. He grabbed the giant shuriken and threw it.

Earning weird glares on the way there, the giant shuriken flew into the school, past the library, past the cafeteria, past the hallways, into Team TINN's Dorm and hit Natsu right in the head setting him on fire, "OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! Oh wait nevermind it's just fire."

Owning a hard skull, Natsu casually pulled the shuriken out of his head and began eating the fire that engulfed his body like it was popcorn.

Jason looked at Naruto who was nervously scratching his head.

Julie walked next to Tooru while Kanade walked next to Otonashi.

They had just finished eating and were on their way to the dorms to get a little rest.

Suddenly, Julie's scroll started ringing.

"Whose that?" Tooru asked.

Julie picked up her scroll and replied, "Ja?"

"JULIE! WHERE'S MARY!?" Turns out Takane couldn't find them so she turned into Ene and entered Julie's scroll.

Kanade answered for Julie and looked at virus that was on the screen of Julie's phone, "Team JNPR noticed Mary was a bit sick so they offered to help her."

"Sick? How did that happened?" Ene asked, "You know what, nevermind that, where is she?"

"With Team JNPR." Julie replied.

"WHAT?!"

Otonashi and Tooru covered their ears while Kanade and Julie were just confused.

"What's the problem?" Otonashi asked.

"I'm sure Team JNPR will treat her nicely." Tooru added.

Ene sighed frustratedly, "Mary just got here, in other words she can't speak english!"

Julie, Otonashi, Tooru and Kanade looked at each other, "OOOOOHHHH!"

Ene facepalmed.

Ashley yawned as she walked across the city.

She found a bench and began sleeping on it.

Seconds later.

Plutia yawned as she walked across the city.

She found a bench and began sleeping on it.

Natalia, Asuna, Kirito and Blanc watched from a distance.

"Are you sure those two are related?" Natalia asked as she watched Plutia sleep on Ashley's shoulder.

"They are very similar so I don't blame you for thinking that." Asuna said avoiding the actual question.

"Those two sure seem very close though." Kirito commented.

"But they haven't even met each other yet." Blanc pointed out, "I mean they just sleep in the same places."

Kirito and Asuna sweatdropped, "Yeah, can't argue with you there."

Natalia looked at Asuna and Kirito and smiled, "You two two sure are a lively couple."

Asuna looked at Natalia, "How about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope, although my dad really wants me to get one." Natalia replied.

"That's strange, I thought a woman as beautiful as you would attract a lot of men." Kirito complemented.

That earned a dangerous glare from Asuna. Kirito waved his arms in defense, "That's not what I meant!"

"Hahaha! Why thank you." Natalia giggled before answering, "I think it's because I spend most of my life in my village. My village is on the other side of a forest so we hardly get visitors. The only times I've ever went outside was to either pick up Ashley or visit my dad."

"I see." Asuna said, "Oh well, I'm sure your true love is out there somewhere."

"You think?" Natalia asked with a bit of hope, "Maybe you're right...I wonder what he'll be like."

Nathan let out a large sneeze.

"Was that a sneeze of faith I hear?" David teased with his his hand behind his ear.

"Can you please stop connecting everything I do to Natalia."

Saturn was casually playing a game that Ruby lent to her when suddenly-

"Don't stop dancing!"

Saturn dropped the game she was playing and stepped away from TK, "WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!"

Team JNPR's Dorm.

"Oh you poor thing." Pyrrha sympathized as she gently rubbed an ice pack on Mary's forehead.

"Did she really get a fever from just eating curry?" Jaune asked in disbelief.

"It was Kanade's curry." Ren stated.

"Oh okay, that makes sense." Jaune understood.

"SHE'S SOOOO ADORABLE THOUGH!" Nora exclaimed leaning closer towards Mary almost scaring her.

Mary, who was slowly recovering thanks to the ice pack, was completely frozen out of shyness and nervousness.

There were two reasons why: first, these were people she had never met but most importantly...she had no idea what language they were speaking. In the past, she had found a few books written in different languages that may have been similar to the language that Pyrrha was speaking but she never attempted to learn how to read them.

So Mary remained completely silent.

"Oh don't be shy?" Pyrrha said kindly. Mary was slowly getting used to her gentle presence...but definitely not Nora's, "We'll make sure you return back to your friends in no time."

The small white haired girl had no idea what Pyrrha had just said but it sounded like good news so she smiled.

Suddenly, the door flew open and four more girls that Mary didn't recognise entered the room.

"Hey guys! You wanna visit the-" Ruby stopped when her eyes met with Mary's. She squealed and used her semblance to appear in front of Mary which almost scared the living daylights out of her.

"OMG! WHOSE THIS LITTLE GIRL?! SHE'S SO CUTE! I COULD CUDDLE HER FOR D-"

Weiss grabbed Ruby's ear and pulled her away from Mary.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Your scaring her." Weiss scolded.

Ruby pouted as she complained, "Awwww!"

Blake was about to question why in the world was there a child, besides Yoshino, in an academy trained to fight. But she was interrupted when-

"Woof! Woof!"

"Oh hey Zwei." Yang greeted as the dog entered the room.

Out of instincts, Blake jumped on top a bookshelf as the dog targeted Blake the moment it saw her. Everyone laughed at the sight of a dog scaring Blake.

Once Zwei released there was no chance on getting to Blake, the dog looked at Mary who was looking at Zwei with eyes of awe.

The dog then jumped on Mary's lap and gently began licking her cheeks causing Mary to giggle with a bright smile.

Seeing Mary's smile combined with Zwei's adorableness made everyone go, "AWWWWWWW!"

Shinoa and Yu just so happened to walk by when they said that therefore catching their curiosity.

"So you can create anything?"

Jason turned and looked at Neptune, "Why are you guys just asking me this now? That's always been my ability."

Neptune shrugged, "I don't know. You barely have any screen time so we never really thought about it. ANYWAYS! Can you create a..." Neptune thought about her answer, she suddenly gasped, "OH! A giant pudding machine that has wheels so that it can follow you and can create an infinite amount of pudding!"

Jason...hesitated.

"OH COME ON!"

"Fine." Jason clicked his fingers.

Thousands and thousands of blue and white micro cubes appeared and combined together creating a giant pudding machine with wheels.

The machine moved towards Neptune and presented a tray of puddings, at least a dozen.

Neptune's mouth watered as she went straight to eating.

After eating at least two cups of puddings, Neptune remembered, "I have to tell the others!"

Neptune sprinted in the opposite direction with the pudding machine following after her leaving a very tired Jason behind.

After Neptune was gone...He sighed.

Saturn and Yuri were casually walking across the street looking for nothing in particular.

Saturn looked at Yuri, "Anything remind you of home?"

"Nope, Remnant is very different to where I come from and I still haven't gotten used that yet." Yuri admitted.

The female console could relate, "Same, although my home wasn't really much to begin with any-"

"KISS YOU!" TK yelled in his usual nonsensical english.

Out of instincts, Saturn screamed and kicked TK sending him flying into the air.

As TK was blasted into the sky like a rocket, he said the words, "Goodbye wild heaven!"

Yuri just stared blankly stared at Saturn who was panting from that jumpscare.

Once she recovered, she asked Yuri, "WHERE DID HE COME FROM!?"

Yuri shrugged, "Why are you asking me? How should I know?"

"Isn't he from your world?!" Saturn asked a bit frustrated, "Does he always do that?!"

"Nope," Yuri stated with a straight face, "And now that I think about it... his only been doing it to you recently."

"WHY ME?!"

Yu walked across the hallways of the dorms. Shinoa was walking next to him while holding Mary's hand.

Team JNPR asked them to hand Mary back to Julie and Kanade when they walked by so here they were looking for Kanade and Julie. Although it took some time for Mary to move from hiding behind Pyrrha to hiding behind Shinoa.

As they walked, Yu spent one glance to look at Mary out of curiosity.

Mary jumped when Yu looked at her and she hid behind Shinoa's back.

Shinoa just grinned at Yu and teased, "Stop it Yu, you're scaring her."

"I didn't do anything!"

Mary never like meeting with strangers. But she was glad that these strangers spoke her language at least.

They reached a cross section where Sinon just so happened to walk past, "Oh hey. What are you guys up to..."

Sinon stopped when her eyes laid on Mary who was still holding Shinoa's hand. She looked at Shinoa and Yu, then at Mary, then back at Shinoa and Yu, then at Mary and finally back at Shinoa and Yu, "I didn't know you two had a child."

There was an awkward moment of silence between the four.

Shinoa giggled placing her hand over he mouth while Yu exclaimed, "EH? What no?! Shinoa and I aren't like-"

He was interrupted when Shinoa suddenly grinned evilly as she gently patted Mary on the head, "Yes Sinon, this is our child that we raised and poured all our love into."

Yu glared at Shinoa, "No, that's n-"

"L-L-Love!" Sinon blushed madly, "Wait...D-does that mean you two-"

"Yep!" Shinoa declared with no hesitation not giving Yu a chance to speal, "Although I have to admit, Yu was a bit rough in bed."

"SHINOA! THAT ISN'T FUNNY!" Yu yelled glaring at Shinoa.

Sinon turned around trying to hide the blush on her face, "I-I see, well don't let me disturb your afternoon."

Yu panicked, "SINON WAIT! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT-"

A small 'thump' was heard causing the three to go silent.

Sinon, Shinoa and Yu looked and saw that Mary had fainted with her face the same colour as a tomato.

"AH! Mary are you okay?" Yu asked as he went to pick up the unconscious Mary.

Shinoa started giggling and tried to hold her laughter.

"What's so funny?" Sinon asked.

Shinoa pointed at Mary still gigglish, "Her nose is bleeding...man, and here I thought she was pure."

"That's why you don't make jokes like that around children!"

"Whoa!" Yuuki said in awe, "So you really met another version of Plutia?"

Asuna nodded, "Yeah, although she's just as scary which is concerning."

The two girls giggled. They were at a cafe enjoying their time together as they surprisingly hadn't had much time to hang around each other much since they were reunited so here they were.

"How about you? How was your mission?" Asuna asked.

"Oh it was great! I think our team met a ghost." Yuuki replied casually.

"A ghost?" Asuna now wondered why Yuuki was so interested in her mission when Yuuki seemed to have a much more facianting one.

"Well we didn't actually see her but it felt like she was standing right next to us- OH! and we defeated a Grimm Reaper!"

Asuna was going to ask how Yuuki knew it was a 'she' if she couldn't see her but the second thing Yuuki caught her concern, "EH?! But I thought it was just an investigation mission."

"Yeah, that's what we thought as well." Yuuki admitted, "But my team was so cool! We handled it pretty well."

A bit relieved, Asuna sighed, "I see. Your team defeated it together."

"Yep! Otonashi was really brave. TK was really funny. Nepgear is so reliable and Levi, omg you should've seen him, he was this and then-" Yuuki proceeded to imitate Levi fighting against the Grimm Reaper using hand movements.

However, Yuuki stopped when she noticed Asuna was staring at her with a proud smile, "What's wrong Asuna? Something my face?"

"Oh no it's nothing." Asuna assured with a smile, "It's just, you sure have made a lot of good friends huh. Especially Levi, you two seem so close."

"Yeah... I guess you're right." Yuuki agreed, "People misjudge Levi since he seems like a cold man but his actually got a warm heart. He can really considerate sometimes."

"Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Levi just does what's best for everyone...Speaking of Levi..." Asuna just remembered as she turned around to look. Levi was standing on the other side of the cafe standing next to two trash bins, his arms were crossed and he stood there like a sentinel, "What is he doing?" Asuna asked. She tensed just by looking at the serious expression that Levi was holding.

"Hmm?" Yuuki looked at Levi but unlike Asuna, Yuuki reacted casually as though it was a normal thing, "Oh don't mind him, his just making sure people don't throw waste in the recycling."

Asuna deadpanned, 'Oh."

Uni grumblemed.

Otonashi left to be with Kanade while Yuuki left visit a classroom. She surprise to see Levi follow after Yuuki like it was second nature.

So it was only her and Nepgear in the dorm.

She tapped her index finger inpatiently on the table as she looked at Nepgear who was casually wiping a table in the kitchen.

"Well..." Uni spoke grabbing Nepgear's attention due to the tone she spoke in.

"Hmm?"

"Aren't you going to say anything?" Uni asked.

Nepgear blinked confusingly, "Umm, I don't think so. Why are you asking?"

"So that's it..." Uni said as anger began to build up. She clenched her fist. she had been wanting to say this to Nepgear but didn't want to act like this in front of Yuuki, Levi and Otonashi so she waited until they left, now that it was only her and Nepgear, "Everyone was so worried about you! All these years we were searching for you three scared that maybe something bad had happened to you guys. But here you are, enjoying yourself in another world...THREE YEARS NEPGEAR! You've been missing for three years! Do you know long that is?! Do you know how distressed I was?! How afraid I was?! How much I've cried?!... Do you even care anymore?!" Uni finished with tears of anger and sadness flowing down her cheek.

Nepgear stopped wiping the table, her gentle smile faded into a serious one, "You guys are all I've been thinking about."

Uni froze at the unexpected answer as a tear slowly fell from Nepgear's eye.

"To be honest, I'm scared." Nepgear began, "Scared that there's a chance of never returning to my home. I've had nightmares and home was one of the only things I thought about...I think everyone here feels the same. Everyone miss their friends and family back at home. But then we found out more about this world, how nasty it is and how dangerous it'll be," Nepgear thinks about the Grimm, her time on those cargo ships and The Grimm Reaper she faced in that haunted forest, "...so we hide it. We hide out feelings so that it won't get in the way of our missions. We all put on a smile on and pretend we're achieving something when in reality we don't seem to be going anywhere. Even Jason himself said his not sure anymore on what Jack's plan specifically." Nepgear turned around and faced Uni with a very sad smile, drops of tears trickling from her eyes, "I'm scared Uni. We all are."

Uni felt guilt and the look in Nepgear's eyes told her everything. She had been through a lot of things while in this world. She was so focused on herself that she didn't think about what Nepgear might be going through, "Nepgear I...I'm so-"

Suddenly, the door flew open and Neptune came bursting into the room yelling, "HEY SIS! UNI! YOU HAVE SEE TRY THIS! LOOK AT THIS MASTERPIECE! IT'S A INFINITE PUDDING MACHINE! AND IT CAN EVEN follow y..." Neptune stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the emotional state Nepgear and Uni were, "Oh sorry, did I interrupt something?"

Uni just deadpanned at Neptune while Nepgear blushed embarrassingly.

Neptune scratched her head nervously and backed away while laughing innocently, "Oh in that case, forget I was here and ah just continue what you were doing. See you later!" Neptune then left...only to return a second later to say, "oh yeah, it's nice to see you again Uni by the way, it's been so long since-"

Uni reloaded a gun that she pulled out of nowhere, "Neptune."

"Anyways I'll just leave and let you two be." With that Neptune left leaving a very broken mood behind.

"Okay then!" Nepgear began clapping her hands together, "I'm done cleaning so you want to explore the school and city?"

Uni just sighed. Thanks to Neptune, continuing their conversation would be very awkward so she let it go.

Uni looked at the table Nepgear was cleaning before, "You sure Levi isn't going to scold you?"

"I wiped it around 15 times so I'm sure he'll be satisfied with that." Nepgear assured.

"Somehow I doubt that."

The door flew open and Yuuki ran inside the dorm searching for her scroll while Levi calmly walked.

Yuuki then searched her bed and saw her scroll was on the pillow, "FOUND IT! See, I told you I didn't lose it."

Yuuki then notices the annoyed look in Levi's face, "What's wrong?"

"Nepgear."

The purple haired girl titled her head, "What about her?"

Levi pointed at the table Nepgear was suppose to tidy up, "She didn't clean it properly."

"It sure has gotten lively lately huh?" Yang commented.

"I know right, I kinda like that way." Ruby replied.

"As long as they don't forget their jobs as Huntsmen and huntresses." Weiss added as team RWBY headed back to their dorm.

It wasn't until they reached the door that Blake suddenly remembered, "Weiss, you probally shouldn't-"

It was too late. Weiss had already opened the door and entered the dorm.

A bucket of water was on top of the door, so when Weiss opened it, the bucket fell and splashed water all over Weiss' clothes.

Ruby and Yang had to look away to contain their giggles while Blake took a step back away from the anger that was building up from within Weiss.

The laugh of a small ninja was heard in the background.

Weiss clenched her fist, "That little pipsqueak think his soooo funny huh? Well let's see who's laughing when I do this!"

At the end of the hallway hiding behind a corner, Naruto was laughing his guts out as the expression on Weiss' was priceless.

Suddenly an ice spike flew past Naruto's cheek. The ninja looked and saw Weiss glaring at him with her rapier in her hand.

Naruto laughed nervously.

"Mary!" Natsu called looking for said girl, "Mary! Where did you go? Ma-"

"NATSU!" Natsu heard Naruto called. He looked and was greeted with an unusual sight: Naruto running towards him with ice dust being fired at him.

"HELP ME! SHE'S REALLY GOING TO KILL ME!"

Natsu looked past Naruto and saw a horrifying sight.

Weiss was right behind the ninja radiating a very icy yet angry aura.

Natsu took a second to recover before he screamed, "AAHHHH! RUN IT'S THE EVIL ICE QUEEN!"

"Don't call me that!" Weiss yelled back getting angry at Natsu as well.

The ice queen began both boys.

Running across the hallways, Illya walked by enjoying a very tasty dessert...only to have Naruto stepped on her face hard as a boast to run away from Weiss

"Sorry Illya, gotta run!" Natsu apologised as he ran past her.

Illya fell back on the floor as her consciousness slowly faded away.

Ruby the magical wand popped out of Illya's hair and asked, "Hey can I some of your des- ILLYA-CHAN!? OMG, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"

The rest of the afternoon consisted of Weiss chasing Naruto and Natsu around the academy.

Yomi sat there from a distance looking.

Mato was there hanging out with Black, Miku, Ruby, Yuu, Strength and Yomi doubt Stella was asleep in Mato's head.

Pushing up her glasses, Yomi sighed as she was too overwhelmed by the amount of people around Mato to talk to her...just like always.

The depressed girl was so focused on Mato that she failed to realise Chariot, Kagari and Dead Master were staring at her sitting in a table that was right next to her.

After minutes of thinking and staring at each other, Dead Master stood up with a very serious expression, "I have an idea."

Chariot and Kagari tensed as Dead spoke in a very dark tone. They nodded at her and watched as Dead Master slowly walked over to Yomi.

"Yomi..."

Yomi almost jumped in her seat as Dead's voice almost gave her a heart attack. She then calmed down when she found out it was only Dead, "Oh hey, I was just thinking..."

Dead didn't say anything which Yomi notice after a couple of seconds, "Dead? What's wrong?"

Once again, Dead didn't reply as she raised her arms towards Yomi.

"Dead? W-what are you-"

Dead Master...suddenly grinned playfully, "Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle,tickle-"

"HAHAHAHA! OI! Please stop that! HAHAHAHA!" The sensation Yomi was receiving from Dead tickling her hips were irresistible.

"Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle,tickle-"

"HAHAHAHA! Dead plesea! HAHAHAHAHA! I'm Serious please stop- HAHAHAHA!"

Meanwhile, Kagari and Chariot deadpanned as they stared blankly with sweat drops.

Mary slowly opened her eyes. With her vision a bit blurry, she thought she must have passed out.

After feeling the texture of an unfamiliar bed on her back, all the memories came back to her: She entered a portal, found Takane, ended in a different world, met Natsu, Kanade, Julie, Yu, Shinoa and Sinon.

Never before have Mary met this many strangers in her life nor has she spent this much time outside of her room. It felt strange for the young girl.

She was only used to the gang back at her world and even then, meeting strangers slowly one by one was hard enough.

Her vision cleared and her eyes met with two unfamiliar ones: A girl with purple hair and a man with a nasty neutral glare.

Once realisation hit her, Mary jumped n fear and backed away from the two strangers.

Yuuki gently places her hands on Mary's shoulders, "Sshh, it's okay. Sinon asked us to take care of you."

Sinon? Mary asked herself before remembering. Sinon was the girl she had met just a moment ago for who knows how many seconds.

Mary didn't know why but she felt like she was being slingshot from person to person.

"Are you friends with Julie and Kanade?" Yuuki asked.

Not knowing how to answer, Mary slowly nodded.

Levi, who couldn't care less about the situation, let Yuuki do the talking. Children didn't mix well with him.

"This academy is quite large but don't worry," Yuuki assured with a kind smile, "I'll just call them."

Slowly becoming more comfortable with Yuuki's presence, Mary bowed her head thanking Yuuki with a grateful smile. Although Levi's aura alone was enough to make Mary shift nervously in her seat.

"Alright!" Yuuki clapped once she had finished her call. She placed her scroll in her pocket, "Come on Mary! Your friends will meet us at the cafeteria."

Glad that she'll finally see Takane again, Mary nodded shyly and followed.

In the cafeteria, Yuuki, Levi and Mary waited.

Yuuki had kindly given Mary a small snack to ear while waiting,

Professor Port was on duty while Oobleck was casually drinking coffee.

Port was enthusiastically telling one of the many tales about when he was a young huntsman to some of the students who were eating however he was so into storytelling, he failed to realised that the students were bored out of their mind and were slowly losing their appetite thanks to him.

Meanwhile, Oobleck took another sip of coffee before facing Yuuki and Levi, "Ms Konno, so far what do you think about of your time here in Beacon?"

"It's amazing!" Yuuki said excitedly, "There's so many things I've yet to discover here, every second here is like a wonderful fantasy world."

Oobleck smiled as he sip his coffee again, "You've got a good heart Ms Konno. Not only are you excellent in swordsmanship, you show exceptional potential for your future studies and personally, you might be one of the only student I've had who actually shows that much enthusiasm in my class even though you are a bit behind."

Yuuki bowed her head, "Thank you Professor. I'm honoured."

"The honour in mine." Oobleck drank more coffee before finally noticing Mary who was sitting between to Yuuki and Levi, "and who might this be?"

"Oh this is Mary!" Yuuki introduced making Mary more nervous, "She came with Julie and Kanade but got seperated but were regrouping here so it should be fine. I think she's a relative."

Mary flinched. She was just acquaintances with those two but was too shy to point that out.

Oobleck looked at Mary's white hair and remembered Julie's and Kanade's white hair and could see a bit of similarity. The professor looked at Mary and joked, "Hallo miss. Do you want be a huntress?"

Mary almost jumped as she was still not used to meeting new people and nervously shook her head.

Oobleck chuckled, "She's quite the shy one isn't she?"

Yuuki hummed in agreement, "Well this is her first visit so I don't blame her."

"Well kids are still growing after." Oobleck agreed before something else came to his mind, "Mr Akerman."

Levi turned to look, "Yes?"

"I don't want to be rude but I've been meaning to ask you this for a while. I was just wondering, aren't you a bit too old to be attending this academy?" Oobleck asked, "Your studies are above average and your skills are more than enough to move you to a official huntsmen. So why do you continue to attend class."

Levi had a very brief answer for that, he motioned his head at Yuuki, "Parental guidance."

"Ah, I see." Oobleck believed as he sip more of his coffee, "Well I guess you two are pretty close-"

Suddenly the door to the cafeteria flew opened and two boys Mary recognised as Natsu and Naruto ran inside.

Natsu and Naruto ran and hid behind Yuuki's back, "Yuuki help! Save us!"

Yuuki blinked in confusion, "From what?"

Mary was about to ask Natsu about where Takane was when suddenly the door burst opened again.

A very, very angry Weiss entered the room scaring the living soul out of Mary's body.

"Oh dear." Oobleck commented as he sip his coffee again.

It was very noisy and chaotic after that

Weiss argued and yelled while Naruto and Natsu just stuck his tongue out at her while Ruby, Yang and Yuuki tried to break them up.

Eventually Oobleck settled the matter at hand and calmed everyone down.

Then, Takane and Illya entered the cafeteria, "Yuuki!"

"Oh hey girls." Yuuki greeted.

Takane walked up to Yuuki and placed both hands on her shoulder and desperately, "Is Mary with you?"

Unfazed by the sudden close in contact, Yuuki replied casually, "Yeah, she's sitting right..." Yuuki was about to point to where Mary was only to find that Mary was gone, "Well...she was sitting there."

Natsu looked at Weiss, "I think you scared her away."

"Don't blame me!"

Takane facepalmed...and then groaned loudly in frustration.

Plutia and Ashley continue to sleep peacefully on the city bench until suddenly-

"PLUTIA! PLUTIA! PLUTIA!" Neptune came running towards them with the infinite pudding machine behind her, "YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! IT'S AMAZING!"

Neptune grabbed Ashley's shoulders and began shaking her rapidly, "PLUTIA WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

Natalia, Asuna, Kirito and Blanc decided to step away before things got ugly.

Neptune kept shaking Ashley rapidly trying to wake her up, "PLUTIA!"

Ashley's eyes slowly flickered opened and she looked at Neptune confusingly.

"LOOK!" Neptune pointed at the machine, "IT'S A INFINITE PUDDING MACHINE!"

Ashley blinked in confusion before perking up, "Oh I love pudding! ...Who are you?"

"EH? What are you talking about PLutia, it's me-"

"Neppy?"

Neptune froze as the second voice entered the conversation. Neptune looked and saw that PLutia, who was sitting next Ashley, had woken up.

"Neppy?" Ashley repeated slowly, "I like that name." Ashley looked at Plutia and sound slowly, "Oh hello there, what's your name?"

"My name?" Plutia tilted her head in confusion, she was still half asleep, "Oh my name! My name is Plutia."

Ashley suddenly got really excited, "Really? What a coincidence, my middle name is Plutia." She then gasped in surprise, "Oh, are you friends with Blanny?"

"You know Blanny?" Plutia perked up, "What a coincidence."

As the sleepy goddess got along with the sleepy huntress, Neptune took a step back.

She looked at Plutia and then at Ashley before looking back at Plutia. Ashley looked exactly like Plutia but an adult version (Not her CPU form)

Neptune then proceeded to scream in fear, "THERE'S TWO PLUTIAS!"

In a grocery store, Shido, Kotori and Yoshino were shopping for ingredients.

"Let's see, we have meat, breads-" Shido went over his shopping list to make sure he had everything. He was planning to cook his homemade burgers for Yoshino and Kotori.

Yoshino helped by nodding telling Shido that they had everything on the list.

Kotori was in the other side of the aisle looking at all the different flavors of lollipops they had in this world.

Suddenly, Yoshino's spine shivered in fear like a snake was slithered down her back.

"What's wrong Yoshino?"

Yoshinon the puppet answered as Yoshino seemed to scared to talk, "It feels like our fear just doubled in numbers."

Mary ran out of stamina very quickly as she stopped to pant for air.

She had panicked and made a run for it without even thinking. She had never seen someone so angry run that fast before in her life.

She was not used to this. She wasn't used to anything. One moment she was in her room and the next she's in a different world meeting so many strangers each person completely different from the other.

Part of her wanted to congratulate her for finally getting out more while another part of her wanted to return back home with Takane.

Mary collapsed on the floor from all that running not able to take another step forward. Usually at a time like this, Mary would ride Seto's back but..

Once she had recovered a bit of energy, Mary began noticing her surroundings. Unknown hallways, background and people were all around her.

Everything was completely unrecognizable to her that Mary wanted to cry.

Passing students were already giving Mary weird looks probally because they were wondering why a child was here in a academy for huntsmen and huntresses.

Just as a tear was beginning to fall, someone gently tapped Mary on the shoulder.

Mary turned and saw a girl with teal hair and eyes looking back at her with a neutral smile. It was Miku... not that Mary knew that.

Miku bent down to Mary's level and gently patted her on the head not saying a word. Her smile not leaving her face, Miku pointed in a direction.

The small white-haired girl looked to where Miku pointed and saw Uni not far away from her. She recognised Uni as she had seen her before with Team KNOL, one of the teams Takane told Mary she could trust.

With a bit of new hope, Mary slowly stood up to talk to her. But before leaving, Mary turned around to thank Miku for her help...only to find that Miku had completely disappeared from sight.

Bewildered, Mary looked around searching for Miku but could not see her anywhere.

Guessing that maybe Miku had left in a rush, Mary followed after Uni.

Uni was quite far but not that far so Mary just had to job a little to reach her which actually proved difficult for Mary since she needed to take a break every few steps.

As Mary got closer and closer towards Uni, realisation hit her. She was about to talk another stranger again. This time it was worse, usually strangers would go talk to her but Mary had never in her life willingly talked to a stranger by herself.

Anxiety soon flooded Mary's emotion as she got closer and closer and closer and clo- Mary clumsily tripped over nothing and bumped into Uni causing both girls to fall on the floor.

Uni tapped her foot impatiently.

Nepgear had already shown her around the entire academy and offered to show her around outside but just when they had reached outside Nepgear suddenly claimed that she had left something behind.

She told Uni to wait while she went to go get it so here she was...waiting for Nepgear.

"Geez what's taking her so-"

Suddenly something small bumped into Uni causing both her and the small thing to collapse on the floor.

After groaning in pain, Uni glared, "Oi! Watch where you're- EH?"

Uni looked and saw a white ball of hair on the floor.

At first Uni thought it was a dog with white fur. It wasn't until the girl lifted her head that Uni realised it was a little girl with long white hair.

As soon as the girl looked at Uni she panicked, "Umm! Ah, anu- Umm, MY NAME M-M-MARY Kozakura!"

Why is she shouting? Uni asked herself.

Seeing Uni's confused face, Mary panicked even more, "Anu- umm, ahhhh..anu..." Mary began crying randomly.

She's crying?! Now it was Uni's turn to panic as she waved her arms defensive, "Oh don't cry. It's okay." Uni didn't know how to deal with children.

Uni was already receiving glares from passing students. In position Uni and Mary were in, it looked like Uni was the one who made her cry even though Uni didn't do anything.

After a few moments, Mary calmed down while still sniffling.

"S...s-sorry." Mary apologised.

"It's okay, don't worry about it...just please don't do it again." Uni replied.

Mary looked down at the floor in guilt.

Uni quickly changed the subject, "A-anyways, hi my name is Uni. Nice to meet you. So ah, are you lost?" Uni guessed.

Mary shyly nodded before nervously looking at Uni with eyes of hope. The words "Please help" was written all over her face.

Uni nervously scratched her head, she was worried about Nepgear, "Sorry kid, my friend told me to stay-"

Her tongue couldn't form the next word as Mary looked up at her with a very, very... sad, puppy dog expression.

So cute. Uni thought herself unable to resist. Uni didn't know whether Uni had the heart to reject this girl's pleads, "W-well, if you look at me like that, I've got no choice. It'll be rude not to help you anyways."

Mary perked up and she stared at Uni with stars of gratitude in her eyes, "T-thank you! Your really kind!"

Blushing a bit from the sudden praise, Uni pointed at Mary, "Don't get the wrong idea! I'm usually not this easily convince okay, it's just because you're adorable- I mean your just a child so of course I would help."

Mary titled her head in confusion as she couldn't understand the tone that Uni was using.

"Anyways, let's just go and find your friends." Uni quickly changed the subject as she began walking in a direction, "You coming?"

Mary nodded and followed after her.

Sorry Nepgear, I'll be right back. Uni told herself.

5 minutes later...

The pair encountered a cross-section where you could go left, right or forward.

Trying to remember the things Nepgear said when she gave her a tour, Uni pointed, "Ah I recognize this part, here we go...left!"

5 minutes later...
