Hey, guys! Here is the ninth chapter of Holy World Chronicles! The Alliance head to Ocean City, Maryland for a fun five-day trip! Hope you liked it.
Chapter 9 - Vacation Time!
Guild Hall, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City
Today's the day for the Alliance to spend a five day vacation at Ocean City, Maryland. Yesterday after fending off Loki and his minions, the packing and planning, as well as getting money by doing some volunteer service, pays off.
"So we're traveling by vehicles?" Natsu asked, starting to feel sick.
"If you wanna walk there, be my guess." Gray replied.
Natsu grumbled as he and the rest of the Alliance headed to the back garage to get in the vehicles they will take to get there.
For supervision, Daichi and Laxus are in charge of the boys, while Erza is in charge of the girls. Oscar volunteered to come since Ozpin wanted Oscar to bond more with the team so they can trust him as "Oscar", not as a vessel of the old wizard. All the adults were now busy gathering intel on finding the stones and knowing more about their enemies.
The first floor garage doors opened as they folded upwards, revealing not only they'll take Yang's trusty motorcycle Bumblebee, but three other vehicles that were recently finished during the last two days of preparation.
"AWESOME~!" Kouga, Natsu, Happy, Ruby, Hinata, Souma, Sachi, Emma, Raki, Selene, Wendy, Romeo, Evan, Elfman, Lisanna, Yang, Jaune, Balto, Nora, Penny, Kageyama, Yamaguchi, Sugawara, Tanaka and Nishinoya shouted in unison, extremely excited.
"Ladies and gentleman, say hello to the three vehicles ready to roll!" Daichi hollered, giving the announcement.
Standing in front of the Alliance is a heavily armed military-themed armored car known as the "Combat Bunker". Next to it is a red, black and white Chevrolet Express Cargo van known as the "Party Wagon", and lastly is a black and orange motorcycle called the "Crow Cycle".
"It's gonna be a four hour trip, so make sure you guys go to the bathroom early." Daichi explained.
"That means you, Hinata." Tanaka teased.
Hinata grumbled as Yachi giggled.
"So… who's riding with who?" Selene asked.

A few minutes later, everyone got into their respective vehicles with Yang taking Bumblebee, with Blake riding behind her with arms wrapped around waist to hold onto; Haruto volunteered to ride the Crow Cycle, which surprises everyone for a 14-year old to ride a motorcycle but none would complain since he's very responsible; and everyone else got into the Combat Bunker and Party Wagon in groups with Daichi driving the Combat Bunker and Mirajane the Party Wagon.
But there was a problem…
"What's up with these two bums?" Tanaka asked, seeing Natsu and Gajeel lying in the Combat Bunker floor, very ill.
"Should've known…" Lucy, Gray, Erza, Juvia, Lily and Levy muttered in unison.
"Those two get motion sickness whenever they go on transportation." Happy explained.
"Because they're Dragon Slayers?" Ryuho asked.
Happy nodded.
Evan was surprised to know that since he's still getting to know everyone more.
"Talk about pathetic." Tsukishima commented, snickering.
"You're even worse than dumbass Hinata when he threw up on Tanaka-san." Kageyama explained.
"Hey! I was nervous, Bakeyama!" Hinata exclaimed.
Kageyama scoffed.
"Wendy… give me a Troia spell on the pronto…" Natsu said, weakly as he tried crawling over to Wendy.
"That's an impossibility." Carla said, looking at the now sick Wendy being tended by a curious Penny, and a shocked Romeo, Sachi and Yamaguchi.
This shocked the Fairy Tail wizards in the Combat Bunker, especially Natsu and Gajeel.
"You too, Wendy!?" Lucy exclaimed.
Pretty much the same thing is happening to Laxus and Erik in the Party Wagon, along with Jaune getting the same sickness with Yang remaining him as "Vomit Boy", and even Balto is starting to feel sick as well.

Ocean City Beach, Ocean City, Worcester County, Maryland
After almost 4 hours of a hellish ride, the Alliance made it to Ocean City Beach, Ocean City.
Laxus and Daichi already booked some hotel rooms at the Dunes Manor Hotel thanks to the US money Makarov let him borrow, while everyone else got ready to change and have fun at the beach before the two joined everyone else.
The boys went first and were down at the sands, now waiting for the girls to show up. The boys mostly wore swim trunks with some having opened (short-sleeved or long-sleeved) shirts, sweaters, or swim shirts, caps hats, sunglasses or shades, and a few accessories to go with their respective styles.
Kouga wore plain red swim trunks, Natsu wore orange swim trunks with black and yellow fire decals while retaining his scarf that is wrapped around his head, Happy wore yellow swim trunks and a yellow hat that perfectly fits his head with a red paw print on both the hat and the swim trunks and still carrying his signature backpack, Hinata wore yellow swim trunks, Souma wore reddish-orange swim trunks with black sunglasses and an orange bandanna wrapped around his right wrist, Ryuho wore teal swim trunks and a forest green swim shirt, Haruto wore black ninja-styled swim trunks while retaining his glasses and long ponytail, Eden wore purple swim trunks with a white short-sleeved open shirt, Gray wore light-blue swim trunks (but due to his stripping habit, they were thrown to the side) along with his necklace and wearing a chain bracelet on his right wrist, Gajeel wore dark green and grey tribal-styled swim trunks while retaining his yellow bandanna and gloves but his hair tied in a low ponytail, Lily simply wore red and orange swim trunks, Romeo wore dark tan swim trunks with a black sleeveless swim shirt and a NIKE baseball cap, Evan wore green and white striped swim trunks, a white variation of his usual green sweater, his usual glasses and a shark tooth necklace, Elfman wore dark green swim trunks (big enough to fit his size), Laxus wore black swim trunks with yellow lightning decals, Erik wore dark purple and black snake patterned swim trunks, Jaune wore yellow swim trunks and a blue wristband on his left wrist, Balto simply wore a blue bandanna around his neck and black and red sunglasses, Zwei simply wore a skull keychain around his neck, Ren wore forest green swim trunks and tied his hair in a ponytail, Oscar wore pale green swim trunks and a plain white open shirt, Kageyama wore blue swim trunks with sky blue lining, a dark blue form-fitting sleeveless swim shirt and black sunglasses, Tsukishima wore yellow dinosaur-themed swim trunks and a black open shirt, Yamaguchi wore green and white striped swim trunks, Tanaka wore blue, black and white checkered swim trunks with a black open jacket, Nishinoya wore orange and white swim trunks, Ennoshita wore plain black swim trunks, Daichi wore plain blue swim trunks, Sugawara wore cyan swim trunks and a light blue sweater, and Asahi wore dark red swim trunks with an open Hawaiian shirt and retaining his man-bun hairstyle.
"GRAY! PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON!" Kouga, Natsu, Hinata, Souma, Gajeel, Elfman, Jaune, Kageyama, Tanaka, Nishinoya and Sugawara shouted in unison.
Gray was screamed at by a few mothers, who were covering the eyes of their children.
"Huh? OH CRAP!" Gray exclaimed, running to get his trunks back on.
"KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON, ICE PRINCESS!" Natsu and Hinata shouted in unison.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Gray exclaimed.
"BE QUIET OR I'M TELLING ERZA-SAN!" Daichi shouted, forcing the three idiots to be quiet.
"I'm glad Sawamura is in charge of the boys when I'm not around. Makes my job easier, as I said before." Erza explained, as she and the other girls arrived.
The boys turned to see the girls and in for quite the surprise on what they're wearing.
Like the boys, the girls are mostly wearing one-piece or two-piece, along with open shirts, short-sleeved or long-sleeved blouses, hats, sunglasses or other accessories.
Ruby wore a red one-piece with black rose patterns, Yuna wore a pink one-piece swimsuit, Lucy wore a white two-piece bikini with a pink flower design, Weiss wore a light-blue and white two-piece bikini with a glittery design and blue and black shades and her hair now in a simple ponytail, Yachi wore an yellow-orange two-piece bikini with a black spot pattern and her side ponytail now tied to the back, Sachi wore a lime-green one-piece with a plain white open shirt and a floral sunhat, Emma wore a red one-piece with a short-sleeve mahogany sweater, Aria wore a white one-piece with a light violet shawl and a floral sunhat, Raki wore a brown and red one-piece with a baseball sports cap, Selene wore a plain yellow one-piece with her hair now in a ponytail and a floral bandanna wrapped around her forehead, Erza wore a black two-piece with black shades and her hair tied in a ponytail, Wendy wore a dark green one-piece with a laced skirt and her hair tied in a single ponytail instead of her usual twin pigtails, Carla wore a red and white striped two-piece, Juvia wore a dark blue two-piece with laces, Levy wore a red two-piece with white laces, Mirajane wore a black two-piece with dark grey laces, Lisanna wore a fuchsia string two-piece, Cana wore simply her black bikini top along with a black bikini bottom and a white wristband, Blake wore a black and dark violet stripped two-piece with her old bow to cover her cat ears, Yang wore a simple yellow string two-piece along with a flexible black arm brace and a white glove to cover her right prosthetic arm, Nora wore a plain white one-piece with a diamond cut in the top chest area near the neck, Penny (due to the fact she's an android and can't swim but wanted to have fun) wears a pale green one-piece with black leggings while retaining the gloves, and a turquoise sweater, and Kiyoko wore a pink two-piece with her glasses, a long pink sarong skirt to cover her legs, and a white sunhat.
Kouga, Natsu, Hinata, Gray, Gajeel, Romeo, Evan, Jaune, Balto, Zwei and Yamaguchi spat out saliva in shock, while Souma, Nishinoya and Tanaka were sent flying with nosebleeds and the rest of the guys were just in awe.
Only Haruto, Laxus and Ren didn't react and simply had blank faces.
"And this is why all boys are pigs." Weiss said, in disgust.
"Well I say it was worth seeing the looks on their faces." Cana commented.
Levy and Lisanna deadpanned.
"Y-You look very amazing, Shoyo…" Yachi said, stuttering at seeing Hinata in a swimsuit for the first time.
Hinata on the other hand, was totally mesmerized at Yachi in her swimsuit and couldn't think of words to say with a red face.
To his rescue, Ruby gave Hinata a chop to the head.
"What was that for?!" Hinata exclaimed.
"To save you from embarrassment." Ruby said.
"So thank your *wingwoman*." Ruby continued.
Hinata was confused.
"Says the *wingwoman* who was gawking at Weiss in the changing room." Blake said, followed by a snickering from Yang.
"Shut up!" Ruby exclaimed, now blushing madly.
Kageyama was fidgeting with his fingers at seeing Kiyoko in a swimsuit. Kiyoko was no better at seeing how stacked her junior-now-boyfriend looks.
"Y-You… look good…" Kageyama and Kiyoko said in unison, complementing each other.
Juvia swooned at seeing the two complement each other before Gray dragged her away to prevent making a scene.
"Alright, people. Be sure to have fun on your first day." Laxus explained.
"But if anyone causes trouble…" Erza said.
"There will be hell to pay." Erza continued, giving off her signature glare.
Daichi did the same to keep an additional eye on mostly Karasuno's Misfit Quartet: Tanaka, Nishinoya, Hinata and Kageyama.
"Yes…" The Acts of Order, Souma, Sachi, Romeo, Wendy, Gajeel, Elfman, Yang, Nora, Jaune, Balto, Kageyama, Tanaka, Nishinoya and Yamaguchi said in unison, frightened.

Everyone soon began having fun within different groups: either playing in the water or the sand, chatting at their seating area, practicing beach volleyball with the locals (particularly Karasuno and Kanoka, while Yachi and Kiyoko took notes), or going about in their usual antics.
One group in particular, comprised of Kouga, Souma, Natsu, Gray and Elfman were racing towards the water.
Kouga, Natsu and Souma were vying for first place as they're ahead of Gray and Elfman.
"You three ain't gonna leave me in the dust!" Gray hollered, grinning as he threw his trunks off.
"Not manly to take your trunks in public again!" Elfman exclaimed.
"Freeze!" Gray shouted.
Gray froze the ocean near him and Elfman all the way to Kouga, Natsu and Souma; some beach locals were caught in the crossfire as they shiver.
"Not cool!" Kouga and Souma exclaimed.
"Like that'll stop me, ice-for-brains!" Natsu hollered, before enveloping himself in fire, burning through the ice.
Gray was confident at first, but almost forgot Natsu's emotions become the fuel to his fire, and the angrier he got, the stronger his flames are; so strong it caused an explosion that sent large chunks of ice flying before falling down.
Everyone began to see as many screamed and ran for their lives.
"ARE YOU BOYS KIDDING ME!?" Ruby, Yuna, Lucy, Weiss and Lisanna shouted in unison.
"I knew those goddamn fools would do something like this…" Erza said, annoyed as she got up from her laying position; unaware she's missing something important.
"E-Erza-san! You're exposed!" Juvia hollered.
"No matter." Erza said.
Erza activated her magic and transformed into her Heaven's Wheel Armor.
"Blumenblatt!" Erza shouted.
Erza charged at one of the large ice chunks and slashed through it before sending a large array of swords at a few that managed to get past her, effectively destroying them without a trace.
"Guess we better get in on the fun!" Hinata hollered, drawing his Ninjatō.
"I'm game!" Ruby hollered.
"Aye!" Happy hollered.
Everyone else simply agreed to make good training out of it, as most of the ice was destroyed by attacks from Ryuho, Sachi, Wendy, Romeo, Gajeel, Laxus, Erik, Yang, Nora, Kageyama, Tanaka, Nishinoya, and even Souma, Gray and Elfman when they deiced to clean up their mess.
The last and largest is being dealt with by a combination of the Acts of Order.
"Pegasus Meteor Fist!" Kouga shouted.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted.
"Sniper Shot!" Ruby shouted.
"Dragon Fang!" Hinata shouted.
The Acts of Order used their signature attacks to destroy the last chunk of ice, leaving only blue glitters of dust in the aftermath.
The people on the beach cheered with excitement despite nearly getting flattened.

The Alliance regrouped after taking care of the ice.
"Guess that takes care of our little problem." Erza said.
"I'd say we had fun with some training in the mix." Natsu commented.
"But I won the race." Gray said.
"I see London. I see France. I see Gray with no pants again!" Nora hollered, snickering at Gray now completely naked.
Sachi, Emma, Aria, Raki, Selene, Wendy and Yachi covered their eyes in shock, while everyone else stood in shellshocked at Gray's oblivious habit.
"Gray-sama! So handsome even without clothes!" Juvia hollered, having heart-shaped eyes.
"What did we say about NO CAUSING TROUBLE?!" Erza, Daichi and Laxus shouted in unison, demanding answers from a now frightened Kouga, Souma, Natsu, Gray and Elfman, being the obvious culprits of their actions.

Yuna, Lucy, Weiss, Yachi, Levy and Lisanna could only stare in shock at some of the destruction accidentally caused.
"Our first day at the beach and it's already a disaster." Yuna said.
"Why is my boyfriend always over-the-top?" Lucy asked, in annoyance to herself.
"Master's definitely not gonna be happy when he hears this." Levy said.
And so beings a soon-to-be crazy week for the Alliance's vacation at Ocean City.
Preview Skit:
Asahi: What a crazy first day, huh?
Haruto: I think it was enjoyable if the idiots didn't cause a rucks with their racing.
Asahi: W-Well at least everyone is safe and no one got hurt.
Laxus: You can't leave'em alone.
Haruto: Speaking of, you've been getting a lot of complaints, Aasahi-san.
Asahi: R-Really?
Haruto: Like how they think you look like "a full-grown man" when you're sixteen.
Laxus: They think you've been held back for 5 years in high school and look like an American man who's 30.
Asahi: C'mon…
Haruto & Laxus: The price you pay with that look. Which doesn't prove a point when you sound like a half-glass guy.
Asahi: You guys are even meaner than Daichi and Suga.
Haruto: You wanna finish, then?
Asahi: S-Sure…
Asahi: Next time: Chapter 10 - Romantic Hijinks.
Laxus: Why do I have a feeling that Mira's up to something?
Did you enjoy it? The vehicles were inspired by those used by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
For RWBY fans who haven't seen it yet, I've finished watching the finale of RWBY Volume 8 back in March… and you're not gonna like it when it goes public this week (last week it's released to only Rooster Teeth perineum members). Until Volume 9, there's gonna be lots of therapy and ways to take the mind off what happened. And that's why I don't like most of the bad stuff in RWBY and not follow the canon of it, or any of the major series I use for crossovers. But do give thanks to all the cast and crew of RWBY for making this the most emotional, darkest and incredible volume of the series so far!
Only one more chapter to go, then I'll focus on redoing the old chapters for the new Super World Chronicles (with tons of revisions), then the first chapter of Grand World Chronicles!
