"Talk"

'Thought'

[ABILITIES/WEAPONS]


After Dante fully healed up, after being crushed to death, he was ready to continue and walks up to the purple glowing rock thing

"Hm? What's this thing?"

Dante asked the Devil Gals, who only shrugged, clearly not knowing what it is, which made the Devil Hunter hum, before reaching out, about to grab it, though a familiar looking wand stopped him from touching it

"Didn't your mama ever teach you to never touch thing's that wasn't yours?Oh wait~"

The Jester has returns, and lets out a loud laugh from his own cruel joke, which earns him having all the guns/blades pointed and pressed against his face, quickly ending his laugh

"You're not gonna shoot me, are you? If you do, I'll die, you know?~"

The Jester asked nervously, looking at all the annoyed faces, their weapons aimed closer to his face

"If that's what it will take to shut you up, it bugs the crap out of me when someone talks more than I do."

Dante glares and frowns greatly, his finger is very close to pulling the trigger on his gun

"Also! I'm the funny one here, get your own shtick!"

When Yang claimed to be the funny one, only the Red Coat Devil supported her, while everyone else let out a expression that says 'Not really...', which made the Blonde feel betrayed and looked sad

"Don't act so rashly, my boy and girl's~"

Jester quickly brought the attention back towards him, clearly not finished talking

"I've got a doozy of a story for you, but if you snuff out my voice like that, I won't be able to tell it, now will I?~"

Team DRWBY glares at the Clown, seriously debating on whether or not to kill him, but in the end, they pulled their weapons away, giving him some breathing room

"I thought I was a goner for sure~"

The Jester let's out a breath of relief, allowed to live for another time

"If The Story Isn't Funny Enough, You Still Will Be!"

Threaten Ruby, who needed the Ice Queen to hold her back, the Clown smirks as he points his mini staff at the Devil Hunting Group

"You saw it too, didn't you? That huge tower jutting out of the ground? That thick shaft that causes women to shudder-HOLLY MOLLY!~"

The Jester was force to dance when the Devil Rose started shooting him with her gun

"I Said Funny! Not Gross!"

Ruby was only stopped when the Team Leader grabbed her gun, and lowers it a bit, forcing her to stop and pout

"Ugh, it's actually a tunnel, linking the demonic domain to the human world-"

Jester continues to explain more, but was interrupted again

"And Vergil is about to open it?..."

Blake couldn't help but guess, as she looks down, clenching her fist, the Satanic Xiao Long pats her shoulder in comfort

"BINGO, and if you don't hop down there quickly towards the basement control room, he'll open the gate to Hell, and, well, you can imagine how the story will end if he does that~"

Jester lets out a giggle as he saw how concern or worried most of the teammates looked

"What does this have to do with this glowing rock?"

Weiss, while thinking this info was important, still didn't understand the use for the glowing rock

"That gizmo there is actually the KEY to move forward~"

The Jester, while explaining, let's out a evil smirk

"But the tricky thing is, even though it'll give you immense power when holding it, it'll also sucks out their souls, leaving them a empty husk if held to long~"

Once the Jester told them how it works, made the five very tense

"If that's the case, how are we supposed to bring it with us?"

Dante cross his arms, clearly does not like hearing their key that could kill them, the Clown evil smiles grows more, as he then aims his wand at the Shadowy Cat Lady

"I would recommend giving her the rock, even though she lost a soul, she's still the only one who has enough to spare~"

Hearing the Jester's solution surprised the entire group

"What do you mean by that?"

Blake was very confused, and a little worried by what he said, no doubt not understanding his hidden meaning

"The best joke's, are the ones left untold!~"

Team DRWBY quickly noticed that the Jester has disappeared, they all quickly looked and noticed him on a 'S' shaped pole, laughing and spinning around as he went up towards the hole in the ceiling, they had their weapons on him, but decided to let him go, as he might be useful later, as for right now, they focused on Hellish Belladonna, who walked up to the glowing rock, and was about to grab it, though she hesitated

"Are you sure you want to do this, we could find another way?"

Dante couldn't help but ask worryingly, a feeling shared by others, which did make her rethink it over, but the Cat Ninja shook her head and quickly grabs it, which suddenly made her fall to her knee and gasps in discomfort, the other's wanted to rush over and take away the rock, but stopped she started speaking

"This... Is... POWER!"

The last thing they saw after Blake spoke, was complete darkness... Meanwhile, at a random hallway, there was a few demons just standing/walking around, minding their own business, not hurting anyone yet, though while they were there doing nothing, they failed to noticed a shadowy mass quickly passing through them, which made them pause for a moment in confusion, before slowly falling apart, dead, this shadowy mass that killed those demon, was none other than Blake Belladonna, but looked very different, her Ninja Outfit had become long, wavy and almost made of shadow, and it nearly covers her entire body, only exposing her legs, that ran beyond speeds unknown, her arms, which held the stone that gave her this power, and her [Hellish Shroud, to which quickly slashed away all the demons that got in her way, it also exposed her lower face, which reveals a very gleeful smile, no doubt enjoying this newfound power, the feeling of might, the feeling of control, the feeling of, 'CONTROL AND FREEDOM', it was enough to make her feel happy beyond belief, and even made her want to fine Vergil and show off this new found way of 'LIFE', she only stopped when she arrives at a bridge with a dead end, she stood there confused on where to go nexts, though when she did stop, the glowing rocks started to shake and quickly flew out her hand, to which she try to take back, but was to slow as it then went into the keyhole, activating the bridge, and once the source of power was gone, the Shadow Kitty fell on her hands and knees, started to breath heavily and feel sick again, all the while her clothes turn back to normal, and seems to have drop her entire teammates, who were held inside her shadowy cloak, they all gasps when they realized they were free, and after a moment of recovering on what just happened, they see a weaken Blake, and quickly rushed towards her, seeing if she was alright, the Demonic Gals shows off extreme worry and concern

"Blake! Blake?! Are you ok?!"

Though Dante sounded the most concern, clearly caring for her health and not wanting to see her get hurt again because of him

"... Sorry... I guess my time with my Ex influenced my personality a bit..."

Blake sounded so ashamed of herself, to think she fell into something her Ex tried so hard to achieve, it made her want to cry, her teammates try to comfort and support her, but was interrupted by the sound of heavy yet light footsteps, everyone looks up to see a Blue Demon Horse walking up to them, the Demonic Gals quickly help Cat Ninja up, while the Red Coat Devil had his [Ebony Ivory] out, ready to defend his teammates, the Horse didn't stop, as he carefully and calmly walked up to them, specifically Blake, he lowers his head, and softly brush his snout over her stomach, showing off affection and respect, no doubt he witness her power, which made him submit, also he showed some pity for some reason, Hellish Belladonna was very confused and just awkwardly pet's the horse, once the Big Blue Horse showed off his feeling, he looked at the Devil Hunter, glaring at him, as if warning him about something, though before anyone could figure out what's going on, the Horse turn into a bright blue light, blinding everyone a bit, as the Horse turns into a soul and infused himself with Dante, there was a moment of silence between everyone

"... That was the most kind demon I have ever seen..."


I was thinking of giving her the whole '9 lives' ability, but no, to obvious, so she won't have that.

(She can turn her shadow claws, tail and fangs into bladed weapons though, though in her base form its limited~)
