"We'll start on getting information on what they're planning to do next. But also look into that kid who bested Cinder." Crow answered. "Also, the CCT is done. So we can't communicate across the entire Kingdom here in Remnant. But I did heard something from James."
"What is it?" Pyrrha asked.
"That he along with Prince Olivert, and Professor E. Gadd of the Mushroom Kingdom are building something that can help us. But I heard news that Erebonia got into some civil war going on. So our best bet is to head to the Mushroom Kingdom."
"I hope Class VII are okay..." Ruby said.
"I know they are Ruby." Yang smiled. "Right now, let's rest up. And then once everything is healed up, we'll head to the Mushroom Kingdom."
"Speaking of that. You guys will love it there." Blake said to Team JNPR.
Several weeks later...
(Mario and Luigi Bowser Inside Story ost - Toad Town)
"Woooow! So this is Toad Town? I thought it was like a town of toads!" Nora said as she spin around excitingly as the rest of Team RWBY, JNPR and Qrow.
"It's quite a lovely town if you ask me." Pyrrha said as she spotted a Toad walking around. "And I believe they are Toads?"
"Yep! They're super adorable. I even got a toad plushie!" Ruby pulled out a Toad Plushie.
"Okay when did you even buy one?" Weiss look at her with a deadpan look
"Just now." Ruby pointed at the store and called Koi's Plush Store as a Faunus just walk out with a Goomba Plushie.
"Told you, I'm cute." A Goomba comment as he passes by the Faunus, accompanied by an Erebionian Male.
The Erebonian eye rolled. "If you're cute, then all Goombas are cute."
"Okay... Is that a Toad? Oh, a different species called a frog?!" Nora asked as she counterclockwise.
"Nope. That's a Goomba." Blake said with a book in the palm of her hand. Then she pointed to a Koopa who walking by. "That's a Koopa." Then the Shy Guy passing by. "A Shy Guy." And then a Boo. "And that's a Boo."
"Why was it called a Boo?" Jaune asked when a Boo appeared behind him.
"Boo."
"AAAAAH!" Jaune screamed, jumping into Pyrrha's arms.
"That's why. We like to scare people." The Boo laughed and then vanished.
"Oh great..." Jaune muttered before noticing he's in Pyrrha's arm. "Uh, um... This is embarrassing."
"Well it's good to know. Why don't you kids go explore and look around while I go get some info." Qrow said as he just finish his liquid flask bottle. "And while I'm at it. A few drinks along the way." He walk away.
"Okay so what should we do now?" Yang asked.
"Aside from getting some info?" Blake asked.
"Hey, what's that?" Nora pointed at the Toadlock's Orbal Factory.
"Oh, I think it's one of those Orbal energy factories." Weiss said.
"Orbal? Oh, right. I heard it about it on the news." Ren said. "It's that energy from the continent of Zemuria, right?"
"Yeah. We have a friend who's an archer who uses those Orbal Energy arrows. Her name is Alisa." Ruby explained. "She's super cool."
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile in Koopa's Buffet
(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Spiderwebs)
"Aaah, that was delicious." Noel Ryker said as he finish his plate. "So you take it from here or I go return it?"
"We pick it up for you." The Toad Waitress answered as she pick up the plate.
"Haha. This place is awesome in my book." He said as he got up. "I better get going. Thanks for the meal." He walk out.
"Please come again." She bow. "Wait... shouldn't he be with an adult?"
Noel walk out and just passed him was Qrow. And just the moment they pass each other in slow motion. Qrow stop and then look at the boy. He remembers something.
-Flashback-
Qrow was going around through the fire and rubble of Beacon as he follow the sound of the fight. He witnessed Cinder with the Fall Maiden's power launch herself and strike at the boy, however, only to let her guard down as the boy blocks the attack with one sword and then other delivered a powerful down left slash and send Cinder flying to the wall and fell on defeat. Due to the fire, he misses out on the rest of the scene. He clear the fire the moment Cinder was in agony. Witnessing the boy smirked as he vanished. Soon afterward, Mercury and Emerald arrived, shocked at Cinder's defeat, and quickly take her out of there.
-Flashback ended-
'Holy shit it's him.' Qrow got his Scroll out and then begin to contact Ruby.
With Ruby and the others...
"Oh yeah and-" Ruby was interrupted as she pick up her scroll. "Oh it's uncle Qrow." Then she answered. "Hey Un-" "Qrow. That kid is here." "What?" She eye widen and turn to the others. "He's here!" She whispers as the group look at each other. "Where is he uncle Qrow?"
"I'll let you know." Qrow replied and hang up.
Back with Qrow...
Qrow put away his scroll and then quietly follow Noel. Noel enter an area of the houses as he turn left and then once Qrow turn to the left, Noel vanished from sight.
"What?" Qrow look around and there was no one around.
Qrow sighed and then head to the shade of the house and transform into a crow and then flew around Toad Town. As Crow look around. He found Noel somehow made his way to the stables, paying the Toad stable keeper outside of Toad Town. Noel pay the Toad stable keeper and he brought out a brown horse. Noel pet the horse as he talk to him and smile. Then he begin to mount on the horse and then begin to gallop toward the plain.
Qrow then follow him as he fly through the air. Soon he arrived at a forest far from Toad Town. The boy dismounts his horse, petting it. and then open a water portal.
'What?' Qrow thought as the Horse enter the water portal and then vanished. The boy then enters the forest. Qrow flow down and change back. Then he contacted Ruby. "Ruby, I follow that kid into a forest not far from Toad Town. Though not sure where exactly."
"Won't it just make it harder?" Ruby asked.
"Pretty much. Anyway, I can't go in yet... Man, There should have been a map here." Qrow sighed as he use the map app and then appeared the map. "Oh wait, there is. Okay... okay. I'm at the south-west of here. And from my spot... it will have to be an two hour walk."
"That tastes way too long!" Yang stated on the other line.
"Oh! Look at that! We can use that!" Ruby said on the other line. "Cya!"
"Hu-wait!" Too late, she hang up. "Oh boy. What vehicles would it be?"
(BGM ended)
30 minutes later
Qrow waiting for a minute until he heard a bird cry. He turn and then look surprised as he see a Corvinknight carrying a vehicle. And then landed and RWBY and JNPR.
"Thanks for using Flying Taxi. Please come again." The Taxi driver said before taking off.
"Okay..." Qrow turn to them. "What was that?"
"A flying taxi!" Ruby said with a cheesy smile.
"Right..." He sweatdrop next. "Man this place is wacky... but at least it's interesting. Anyway, come on." He said then they enter the forest.
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost: Sacred Somnom Woods)
"Wow... this is quite the forest." Nora said as the forest itself looks magical as they walk around.
"I'll say. But what would that kid be here?" Pyrrha asked
"Good questions. But maybe we'll find out once we find him. As long as it isn't too late." Qrow said. "That reminds me. You certain what he said isn't his semblance?"
"Yeah, it came from his own words." Ruby said.
"Then what the hell did he use?"
"Maybe it's a different type of super power but that isn't semblance!" Nora said.
"Possibly." Ren said.
"So what do we know of this kid?" Jaune asked.
"Well... he's a duel wielder, he can control water. He acts mature... and... I got nothing." Ruby answered
"He's a pain in the ass if what." Yang comment. "He reminds me of her."
"You mean Roman's partner?" Blake asked
"Yeah. It's so annoying."
"But... i'm confused..." Pyrrha said. "That this kid defeated Cinder... he's highly skilled... And he's so young as well... What did he do most of his life?"
"Maybe training all day? Oh maybe he's from a clan!" Nora guesses.
"Clan of what, exactly?" Ren asked.
"A clan of warriors! Train at such a young age!"
"That is a possibility." Jaune replied.
"Still, it's surprising for someone of his age can be that strong through. He must have been through some training regime." Weiss said.
"Not to mention different from ours." Blake added. "I don't think he's from the Mushroom Kingdom. But guessing Zemuria."
"That's true. So far I learn something about it." Qrow said. "Everyone there who can fight, depending on the weapons is unique. Their combat techniques are called Crafts. They're nothing like semblance. Plus they don't have aura. But they rely on experience and durability."
"Hmm... I remember from of the kids in Class VII use... what are those called again?" Ruby asked
"ARCUS units."Blake answered
"Yeah, that!"
"And they perform a special mechanism called Combat links which link you to a partner and enhance your fighting capability with them. Like you're actually in sync with them. And they use mechanical magic called Orbal Arts."
"Sounds interesting!" Nora smirked.
"Is that right?" Qrow rib his chin. "There's a lot we need to know about these worlds."
"I'll say." Jaune nodded. "Huh... here's an idea. Why not ask for someone to help us grow a little stronger."
"Huh, that's s good idea." Blake nodded
"But who though?" Pyrrha asked.
"Why you need to?" Nora asked. "You're incredibly good!"
"But not enough against Cinder."
"Oh."
"Hmm... Why not ask Mario. He knows many people." Ren suggest.
"Ooh, good idea!" Ruby thumps up.
As they continue walking. Crow see someone up ahead and he told everyone to stop. In view. It was Noel who was standing at a large clearing, holding something.
(BGM ended)
(The Great Ace Attorney ost - Cosney Megundal ~ Suspect from the Fog)
"Hmm... That should be enough of the data I need." Noel said as he put the probe away. "Man... I'm glad that part with Crossbell is finished. I can finally begin working on my project. My goodness... the Mushroom Kingdom, Remnant, and that world called Hyrule's ancient technology were fascinating. I can't believe they managed to beat some of my ideas... But at the same time... there were missing some parts... and I got more inspiration thanks to the other worlds. But I still need to come up with the name, as well as security measures for safety reasons. Far better than that freckles kid, Jona Sacred. Not to mention even Atlas technology as well. I need a little bit more testing. Plus I've heard about Erebonia's ARCUS units with combat link." Then he sighed. "Man, so much work. But I couldn't help myself. Plus something like this that only members of our society are only allowed to use along with the Astral code. But at least I managed to get the data I need... All that's left is to take time... and do testing until it's perfect. And then done. Oh yeah. And also the cover. Knowing Cam- Hmm?" Noel turn around and see RWBY, JNPR and Qrow. "WHOA! How long have you been there?!"
"Long enough when you said Cross...Bell, I think?" Ruby said.
"And the part you mention project." Weiss added
Noel frowned. "So you heard only that part? Ooh man... I can't believe I didn't sense you guys earlier. I can't believe I was careless." He look at RWBY. "Oh... It's you guys again." Then notice Qrow and JNPR. "And I see some new faces." And notice Qrow. "Huh? Aren't you that old guy I managed to ditch?"
"So you knew I was following ya?" Qrow cross his arm.
"Pretty much. If you're wondering how I escape. It's a secret. But if you're here... that man you somehow managed to find me. You must have gotten one heck of a nose."
"I wouldn't call it that."
"Well, if you say so." Noel shrug and then notice Pyrrha. "Oh, that redhead."
"Yes, I'm that redhead." Pyrrha said before she did a respectful bow. "Thank you for saving me back in Beacon. I most likely would had die if it weren't for your interference."
Noel blick his eyes twice. "There's no need for that. Granted, I wasn't planning on saving you from the beginning. But it isn't exactly my character. Plus, you were facing that woman. You never stood a chance."
"I'm well aware of that."
"That does for us too." Jaune said as he also bow with gratitude. "Thank you for saving Pyrrha's life."
"So that's your name. Well, I'm just glad I can do two birds with one stone." Noel said before seeing Yang who is still looking mad. "Oh, and if it isn't blondie with the anger issues and cares way too much about her hair."
"Oh shut it kid." Yang glared.
"Touch a nerve, haven't I?" Noel chuckled. "But... if this isn't a thanking me party... you all want something from me, don't you?"
"Getting to the point, yeah?" Qrow cross his arm. "Why don't you start with your name? I'm very curious to know how a kid like you can best the Fall Maiden."
"Oh? So you saw that? I thought I sense another presence in the area. And if you knew about her and the Maiden's power... Are you in league with her?"
"Hell no."
"Well, that estimated quickly... then I can only guess that you discover the fairy tales in Renamnt were true." Noel amuse. 'Could he be one of the subordinates to that headmaster who knew?'
"Well, you got that right. I'm curious how you knew about that. You're no ordinary kid."
"Well, you're right about not any ordinary kid. But you can say I'm... special." Noel chuckled before his shades kick in to look intimidating with a grin on his face. "But let's really cut to the chase. Aside from my identity, and abilities, you want to know how someone like me knew about the existence of the Maidens. No... It doesn't stop there, does it? You also want to know what was I doing. And since you overheard me and what happened two months back... you also know why and who I work for, don'tcha?"
"Now we're getting somewhere. You're right." Qrow nearly got his weapon out. "Who are you exactly kid? As we already pointed out. You're not a normal kid. You're capable of handling a Maiden. Maiden are extremely powerful and hold great power. And yet, you seem capable of handling them. As well as the projects you mention, and some other things that pique our interest, and that experiment with tampering with the signals of the enemy. What is your game here? Who do you work for? And... What happens in the aftermath of that battle with Cinder? Did you kill her?"
"Very good questions. Well, I suppose I can say I serve an organization. But what you may ask? Let's just say... an interesting the projects. I'm afraid that's classified. And the experiment. I was only doing some testing and get enough information. That's all."
"And what about this "Astral Code?" Ren asked.
Noel sighed "Oh, you heard that too? Also classified."
"And your name?" Weiss asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Clearly he won't budge." Yang punch her fist. "Enough talk. I have a score to settle with him. And from the way I see it. He's no kid. He's clearly more then that. And if he won't talk. I say we force him to talk. We got a lot stronger. And with this many of us. I say we have the chance to make him start singing."
"Oh?" Noel amused.
"W-Wait, you're not saying we're supposed to fight a kid are we?" Jaune exclaimed.
"He's not some kid Jaune. Aside from the one that he kick my ass, and had the nerve to lecture me... He has experience in combat. So he knows what he's getting into. Think of him like us... a huntsman in training."
"Well... when you put it that way..." Jaune trailed off and sighed. "You're right."
Noel laughed. "Wow. I should have figured you're one of those types who like to hold a grudge. And now from what I'm hearing is, you're all planning to face me? You, huntsmen and huntresses in training, along with a true huntsman, and force me to talk? You know how to make me laugh!" He said as he laughed. "Oh, thanks for that. I really needed a good laugh. Still, as a young man who knows he's being threatened and needs to defend himself."
(BGM ended)
(Trails of the Dark II Crimson Sin ost - Boss theme 8)
Noel swipes his finger, created a water portal, and draws out his Twin Sword and battle stance. "If you think you can force me to talk. I suppose I'll prove you wrong."
"Guess we're really doing this." Ren said as he and the others got their battle stance.
"Be careful with him everyone. He isn't some kid. But a powerful one at that." Weiss warned.
"Right, and if he's capable of fighting a Maiden, then we can't underestimate him." Qrow added.
"Hehe. It isn't the first time I have been outnumbered. But I'm looking forward to see if you can match up their level. Just don't complain to me if you get hurt too badly. Just like blond bimbo over there." Noel taught.
"Why you little-!" Yang eyes turn red and her hair is on fire.
Not a Normal Child - Noel Ryker
Yang charge at him through Rage.
"Yang wait!" Ruby exclaimed but too late.
Yang launched a flurry of punches, but Noel dodge easily and with grace, riposting with an upper kick, rapid trust then spin kick Yang's face and knock her back. Then Nora and Ren launch themselves as Nora swing her Magnhild then slams it on the ground as Noel jumped back. Ren launch some slashes as Noel block and parry with him.
"You're a handsome guy." Noel compliment during the clashes.
"Flirting with the enemy?" Ren asked.
"No, just a compliment." He answered with a spin kick to Ren's waist and push him back.
Pyrrha and Jaune charge and then clash with Noel, joined by Ruby and Qrow as they each clash and strike him. Noel was holding himself back as he parry and strike in a defense form. Noel let out a large spin slash as he push the four back. Then Blake shoot her bullets as Noel deflect them easily. Weiss charges in with her Glyphs and strikes Noel. Noel was push back but hardly it seems.
"Really to cool off?" Noel asked with a smirk as he zoom towards Weiss, Blake, Qrow, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ruby, and strike through them, leaving an afterimage of himself ready to strike with a blade. Once he swing his right up. "Lapis Slicer!" His afterimage of himself launched their wide attacks onto them.
"Nnurh!" Qrow winched as he and the other were push back with force. "He can create afterimages?"
Jaune charge and launch some slashes towards Noel as he block them easily before reserve grip his right sword and then let a wide slash and send him flying.
"Waa-oof!" Jaune slam into a tree.
"Wow, you're sloppy." Noel comments before noticing an attack from Nora she shoots out grenade and explodes near him and at him. Noel jump back before he notice Qrow and Pyrrha launch their assault onto him and clash with him. Qrow launches a two-strike attack while Pyrrha toss her Akoúo̱ at Noel who dodge and block, use her Semblance and headbutt Noel's head, cathing him off guard fore Qrow strikes him and push him back. "Oh?" He amused.
Ruby use her semblance and then strike him head-on as they clash, swirling her Scythe and then launching a strike, pushing Noel back. Noel got back on his feet and then ready his next attack, but then Yang launch himself and managed to land a punch on Noel's face and push him back.
"Hehe. I caught you~" Noel quoted as he forward his left hand, holding his sword, and four watery hands extended, from his left hand.
"Look out!" Yang yelled but she, along with Pyrrha, Qrow and Ruby got grab them while also damaging them, draw them to Noel. Noel switch his sword to a striking grip on his right hand then launched a powerful wide slash and push them back. "Nmuh!"
Weiss created Glyphs and then shoot projections towards Noel as he deflect then, giving Blake enough change to clash and then strike him a couple of combo slash with her Gambol Shroud. Noel was push back as he backflip then he leap into the air, and water begin to form in his hand and then toss it into the ground and created a slash zone and a vortex appeared, Noel landed and commanded them to charge towards his opponents. Weiss stab the ground in ice and then freeze the vortez, then Jaune and Ruby charge towards Noel as Ruby swirl his scythe and then push him back with a sniper Rifle him and he took the strike, giving Jaune a strike to hit him and push him back. Pyrrha follow up as she clash with Noel, follow up with Nora and then let out a powerful bash against Noel. Noel was push back a little further.
"Rise up." Noel raise his left arm and water rise up then died down, then rise his right arm and water rise up then died down. Then he cartwheels swirl a step back, and rise up a large wave with his left hand, "Get ready for a splash!" he yelled and commanded wave forward RWBY, JNPR and Qrow.
"Look out!" Ruby yelled as she use her semblance to get away and the others tried to run away, but unfortunately for Jaune, he got caught slam as the tidal wave as it died down.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha rush towards him and help him up. "Are you okay?!"
Jaune cough off the water. "Yeah..." He said then looking at Noel who was now clashing with Ren and Nora and Qrow. "If he can control water... ah! I got an idea. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang. I got an idea."
Meanwhile Qrow, Nora and Ren are fighting Noel. Noel launches rapid slashes toward Ren, Nora, and Qrow as they block the attack. Noel then launches swift phantom slashes by warp and downward, leftward, rightward, and upward slashes all over the trio as they have done their best to block the attack. But soon Noel let out a powerful swirl slash and push both the trio back on their back. Just as he going to do another attack, he sense Weiss sending projections towards him as Noel backflip and dodge. Then Ruby and Yang charge at him and then launch a team up combo attack. As Noel was going to counterattack. Blake charge and launch slashes towards him, as Noel slash her, he attack Blake's Shadow, then Blake reappeared and kick him from behind.
"Dah!" Noel winch and then got back on his feet. "You little-" He growled and then he launched his left arms and then forward his left hand four watery hands extended, from his left hand.
"Now!" Jaune shout as Weiss shoot out shard of ice and froze Noel's watery arm.
"Huh?!" Noel exclaimed from the frozen arm and then Yang launch a powerful punch toward Noel's face and push him back. "Nnnrgh!" He winched while push back from a distance. Then he rise up a tidal wave and launch towards them. Weiss grab the ground and froze the wave. "Froze my waves are we?" He asked in annoyance and then snap his finger. The wave broke free of the ice.
"Look out!" Jaune yelled as they dodge the wave.
Then Pyrrha launch and combo slash Levi who block it with his swords and then cross-slash strike and push her back. Nora change her Magnhild and launch herself and clash with Noel with force.

Then Weiss use her Gylphs and then zoom towards Noel and strike him, join with Blake with a whip attack, zoom and launch a combo slashes onto him. Then Ruby launch herself and then kick Noel and push him back.
"Tch!" Noel winched as he was pushed back. Then notice he was surrounded by his foes. "Heh... A cornered rat, hmm?" he asked with a grin on his face.
"Phew... we managed to get him trap him at least." Qrow said.
"He really is a lot tougher then expected." Ren command.
"All right you, we got you surrounded. Now start talking." Yang threatens him.
"Aren't you being cheeky?" Noel chuckled. "Though I'll admit. The nine of you did entertain me. Not at much but a small amount. The damage wasn't half bad either. But it's hardly enough to pin me down on my knees. You certainly got a little bit stronger the last time we met."
"Cut your empty compliment you brat. Answer or I'll make you start talking."
"Yang..." Ruby trailed off.
Noel eye rolled "You haven't changed. As expected, you're hardly a grown-up. Don't complain to me if I cut your hair off."
"You!" Yang eyes turn red and hair is on fire. Then she charge towards him.
"Yang wait!" Blake yelled. Just as Yang was going to attack Noel again, suddenly something block Yang's punch. It was a shield from a girl in armor.
Suddenly arrows was shoot towards Qrow, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren, as another woman in armor slam down in front of Jaune and cause a pillar attack with her Halbert and Jaune jump out of the way. Then the girl pushes Yang back as RWBY, JNPR and Qrow regroup and witness three armored girl in front of Noel.
"Huh?!" Jaune exclaimed.
"Girls in armor?" Weiss asked.
"Duvalie, Ines, Ennea? What are you three doing here?" Noel asked in surprise.
"Your mother was worried why you were taking a lot longer than expected, Young Lord. So she order us to find you and bring you back." The girl with the red long one-sided ponytail, wielded a Halbert.
"But it seems you were playing with them, we apologize if we ruin your fun." Said the blue hair knight, bow-wielding girl.
"Nah. Don't worry about it. They were the one who found me and tempt to question me. And it seems I worried mother. I have to apologize to her. Can I count on you three to deal with them?" Noel asked
"As you wish, Young Lord. They certainly won't get away for harassing you!" Said the brown hair girl.
"Wooooow..." Ruby eye sparkling as she look a the three knights and the weapons. "Super cool! Three Knights and amazing weapons!"
"Ruby, now isn't the time for your fangirling!" Weiss scolded.
"You're running away now you little brat? And now you're letting these three do with us? I should expect a little kid like you can't handle this." Yang remark.
"Hey, Yang-" "You cheeky little-!" The brown hair girl glared Yang, interrupting Qrow
Noel hmph. "Hmph. You really haven't changed. And I see you're not taking my advice to you seriously. You really are pathetic and immature. There's no hope for you after all. And honestly, Your friends, that guy, kitty here, Red riding hood, and Ice Queen-"
"Hey!" Weiss exclaimed
"-No... White hair maiden-"
"Huh... that's better..."
"-Are far more mature than you are. And you call yourself a grown-up? In that case, don't hold back on her. Teach her a lesson about respect." He look at the three knights
"Yes, Young Lord!" The three knights nodded.
"We'll teach her some manners." The red-haired Knight responds with a glare.
"Indeed. We'll be sure to give her one, Young Lord." The blue-haired Knight nodded with a glare
"We'll make her pay for her rude remark. THAT I can promise you, Young Lord." The brown hair girl glared.
"Good." Noel then notices something as he turn to his left. 'What was that just now?' Then he turn to the Knights. "Oh, by the way, Here's the heads up." He said as he look at Ruby. "Red riding hood over there can use a speed semblance." Then Weiss. "While the white hair one semblance is an interesting multitask one. So keep an eye on her." Then blake. "Black kitty there can create shadows of herself." Then Yang. "And the blond bimbo with the anger issue has some fire ability. She gets irritated easily."
"So that part is like Duvalie." The Blue hair girl comment.
"Don't compare me to her!" The brown hair girl name Duvalie glare at her.
"Anyway. Her eyes right now are red and her hair is on fire. Oh and watch her hair, she gets really irritated if you cut it or touch it even. So I'm guessing her semblance. Not sure about the others are but keep a close eye on them. Oh, and Semblance is that unique ability from those of Remnant." Noel said
"Thank you for the info, Young Lord." The red hair Knight nodded.
"Have fun." He said as water underneath him begin to activate teleportation.
"Wait! Who are you?!" Ruby yelled.
Noel chuckled. "Out of respect for you, I'll give you that answer. Enforcer No. XVIII of Ouroboros. Noel Ryker, the Undine Prince." He said before teleporting away.
"All right, we'll be your opponents!" Duvalie said as she pointed her sword. "I am Duvalie the Swift."
"I am Ines the Stout." Ines introduce herself
"And I am Ennea the Sharp." Ennea introduce herself.
"We are the Stalritter, an esteemed group led by the Seventh Anguis of Ouroboros in all her glory. And I am its head knight." Duvalie then glare at Yang. "And by order by our Young Lord, we will face you!"
"Fine by me!" Yang exclaimed.

"Let's do this everyone!" Ruby declared.

Meanwhile, Duvalie clash with Ruby as she block her Scythe attacks with her shield and then launch a swift strike against her. Then she avoided the attacks from Blake and Weiss with their trust and slashes. Duvalie raise her sword heigh and imbue with Ice and then launch a powerful swing towards RWBY, pushing them back.

"I think that's quite enough!" Duvalie declared as she launcu speed that strike all of her opponents and gather them together with launch a powerful slash projections.
"Whoa!" Blake exclaimed.
"What speed!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Well, shall we?" Duvalie wields up her blade to swing it downwards, which she then splits off into two image forms of herself on both left and right side while getting into position. Then they dash across the field, striking their targets in a first row of attack pattern, then a second attack patterns, and just continues doing so in making a bright violet light mark trail. Afterwards, she'll appear on one side to charge up her sword with a brightly blue and violet light, "Prism Caliber!" She yelled before diving off to take a big swing of unleashing a wave circle form to impact all of RWBY, JMPR and Qrow in delivering a massive among of damage to almost finish them all of them yelled in agony as they were sent flying, while Qrow fell on his knees.

"Ugh... they're strong..." Blake winched.
"I wasn't expecting these girls put up a good fight." Qrow added. "But unfortunately, that kid wore us down..."
"That girl was super fast... I didn't got a chance to react. That kid... Noel was it... was the same..." Ruby panted.
"Hmph. That outta teach you from messing with our Young Lord." Duvalie said. "But some among you are sloppy. I suggest you continue honing your skills if you wish to experience the outside world more." She advise to them. "But as for you girl!" Duvalie glared at Yang. "You should consider yourself lucky, but the next time you dare insult our Young Lord again, we'll have your head!"
Then the three of them activated a teleportation and then they teleported away.
Yang clenched her teeth.
"It's over... at least." Ren sighed as they got back up. "Those girls are a lot stronger then we realise."
"Yeah... but that kid... he was holding back this entire fight. He's toying with us. I get the feeling he's a lot stronger than even those girls." Qrow sighed.
"Yeah... I get that feeling too..." Ruby trailed off.
"But we did learn something from him and them..." Blake said. "His name is Noel Ryker. And he's an Enforcer from some organization called Ouroboros. And those knight girls call him Young Lord..."
"Which means whoever his mother is, must be someone important." Qrow said.
"What are they called, the Stalritter? They're being lead by this Seventh... Anguis, right?" Jaune asked.
"And considering they call that kid, Young Lord... it means this Anguis is his mom they mention." Ren nodded.
"Damn... at least we got some answers... but... what's this Ouroboros? And the Anguis? Enforcers are someone who enforces... But something tells me there's more meaning to that. Come on... let's rest up and head back..." Qrow said.
Meanwhile with Noel...
"Mom. I'm back." Noel's voice said in the area of an office.
"I was wondering when you show up." Said the blonde hair woman wearing armor. "You certainly took awhile, Noel."
"Sorry mom. I got caught up with some people from Remnant."
"Remnant you say?"
Noel nodded "Yeah. I believe they're from that Huntsman Academy called Beacon."
"Ah yes. That academy where you obtain the Fall Maiden's Power from Salem's subordinate. That would explain some of the dust on your clothes." She said.
"Yeah, they put up a good fight. But it's nothing like the SSS. I believe they're all in training."
"I see. So that's why you took so long."
"Yeah, sorry about that."
She shake her head. "There's no need to apologize my son. As long as you return home and explain to me, everything will be fine."
"Thanks Mom." Noel smiled. "Oh, that reminds me. I got enough data and inspiration for that project of mine. I'm going to work on it."
"Very well. Don't forget to take breaks, take a shower, and eat your dinner."
"Of course." Noel nodded. "I'll be back mother."
Then he left to work on his project.
Ahhh... I have been meaning to do this for a while... Oh, everyone. I'm sure you notice there are two characters name Noel. But I'm going to prefer Noel as my Oc. Noel Vermillion will be called Noel Vermillion just to prevent confusion. You all guess by now who's this mother he was referring to, right? If not, guess you'll wait and see.
