Volume 4, Episode 11: Get Ready and Get Going


[Crossroad Village]

Yuki had taken a few days to formulate a plan of motion. For one, he deemed that getting Gillian was no longer a real option. His peer into the timeline had basically gotten him his semblance anyway, plus he had seen that the longer he was alive…the more of an issue it was. So, he called Shampoo with an order to ensure he dies and called Isis to thank her for the help citing that Gillian was no longer needed…alive. Next was Watts, he gave Ironwood the call to let him know that Watts needed to be killed off as soon as yesterday.

Yuki had to acknowledge to himself that Watts was his greatest threat aside from the Grimm King. If he can hack Penny, well…he was not taking any chances. The alternates and everything else were going to be left to his scattered team…he had to deal with Mistral. He got his new gear on and looked in the mirror. For one, his trademark armor remained, but using Fiona's semblance let him summon it on and off at will, so he kept it stored for now. For now, he took the Jaune approach in his look…not that he would never admit it.

He now wore an ice blue hooded jacket with drop-tab waist and ribbed cuffs, a dark zip-front shirt with its own illumination through neon blue lining over it, a warm blue pants with white piping at pockets and below the knees, biker boots with a zipper on the side, black fingerless gloves with his symbol on the back of the hand, and a brunt orange scarf around his neck which was a gift from Peach.

"Good thing, I got this all dust-lined for defense. Thank you, Amazons. Now for the headset." Yuki said as Serena appeared next to him.

"About that. I had to take that apart…and I made a new one." Serena said materializing it onto Yuki's face. "I noticed it throughout the timelines I was looking through. They called it a Scouter…I modified this third generation one with all the features you'll need with a snazzy blue lens."

"Serena, I want you to make some more of these." Yuki said smirking.

"Ok, but there's another thing we need to discuss. I think you may be working a bit too hard…you need a break. Maybe play a few more games…or get a girlfriend at least. From what I saw of you watching that other you running that sex ring, your libido still exists." Serena said as Yuki pouted. "And don't give me the 'no time for a girlfriend' excuse, Lapis has a boyfriend. If you're not ready to date, at least figure something out."

"Yeah, because they're so many options of women I can sleep with." Yuki said sarcastically.

"I mean, you do. I know Lapis is taken now, but you have plenty. It's not healthy for you to all wound up." Serena said before vanishing.

Yuki sighed only for someone to enter his room, Peach, who was dressed up for Mistral. A white sleeveless, high-collared qipao dress with peach-colored trimmings and a black flame pattern on the left, a maroon obi to tie it together, black tights, maroon zipped boots, yellow gloves with sliver bands on the wrists, and a dark red diamond-quilted flight jacket.

"No lab coat?" Yuki asked.

"I may have ended up burning it to cinders after an experiment gone wrong. I'm picking up a custom one in Mistral." Peach said before changing the subject. "So, do I have to pick up condoms for the trip or…"

Yuki facepalmed.

"You heard that?" Yuki groaned out.

"Nothing to be ashamed of." Peach said with a wink. "By the way, the others are downstairs."

Yuki got his weapons in order before taking up the new weapon that Kelly sent him to replace Pay 'n' Spray. He expected a gun, but he got a mecha-shift weapon that she called the Concussion Cutter which sat in its compact form of a skull. He put it in his jacket and got his things to go downstairs. True to her word, Ruby kept her clothes the same only she did not wear the mask.

Ivory wore a form-fitting black sleeveless jump suit, white boots, a long open viridian yellow coat closed on her waist and is held by a white sash that held her swords, armored shoulder pads that held up her black cape, grey fingerless gloves with gold cuffs, and a black sedge hat.

Yuki was supposed to see Ivory look so serious…only to see her crack that goofy grin of hers.

Yang wore a white and yellow tunic with scalloped edges and high-tech details, her motorcycle jacket, black pants with a neon yellow lining around the pockets with a brown belt, brown boots, gold fingerless gloves, and an orange scarf.

"Guys, I got something for you all." Yuki said clearing his throat before Serena materialized the scouters. "The one with the red lens is for Ruby and the rest of you can pick a color."

Ivory took the green one, Yang took the blue one, and this left Peach with the purple one. They all put it on as Yuki explained what they do.

"Now you guys just need a team name." Peach said as Serena pinged into the middle of the group.

"Generating team name…please wait!" Serena said as Yuki rolled his eyes. "Done. The top five I think you all will be likely is Team Arctic (ARII), Team Ivory (IRYY), Team Iceberg (IIIR), Team Imagery (IARY), and Team Visionary (VARY)."

"Can we please be Team Ivory?" Ivory asked sweetly fluttering her eyes at the leader.

"No." Yuki politely said as she pouted as he pulled up a screen to look at the rest. "Hm…no…no…lame. This one will work, Team Amaryllis (ARYI). A bit lengthy, but it's fitting."

He made the screen vanish as Ivory was still sore of her idea not being taken.

"Tell you what, maybe one day I'll make you temporarily the leader." Yuki teased only to get a playful punch from Ivory.

"So, are we just walking to Mistral?" Ruby asked Yuki's eye twitched.

"What? No? Why would we walk like scrubs? I have vehicles. Ruby, seeing you did not have your own bike…I built one for you." Yuki said pointing to something under the sheet near the house. "Check it out."

Ruby took it off to which it revealed a red camo-patterned ATV. Didn't take long for her to find its weapons system.


(A/N: There are a lot of references, but fans of a certain show Disney cut off at just one season will be pleased with Yuki's new weapon. It's going to be a cut above things. Yuki's adventure is going to dive into the alternates plot line a bit more. So far, we have the alternate Ilia and Cinder. I never did unveil an alternate for Lapis and her team to deal with…though the idea of an alternate Lazuli is tempting. Oh well, I'll think on it. For now, the adventures of Team ARYI begin!)
