-Mistral Apartment-
Winter is waking up slowly but she has an awkward feeling on her chest that she's immediately annoyed, 'Damn it, Montevista!', Winter back elbow strike Cedric.
'Ow!' But the tone of the voice had reveal that it was Bean who's groping Winter and her Aura broke easily.
'Bean?' Winter is confused, 'Why the hell were you in my bed? I thought you were Montevista at first' Winter asks Bean.
'No! The only thing he was doing is stealing underwear!' Bean is holding her head from the back elbow. 'I just snuck in here to see if they're real or not'
'If they are... what?!' Winter grabs Bean and throw her out of her room, then slams it.
Adam and Marquis are waking up, 'Damn it, what the hell did Montevista do this time?' Adam spoke up as he's stretching out.
'Don't know, Adam. But hearing what Winter said, I guess he was grabbing a hand full again' Marquis got up as well. Looking at Adam's side, 'Where's Wilt and Blush?' Marquis is curious.
'Wilt and Blush?' Adam looks at his bed side which is nothing. 'I got a feeling...' Adam got up to walk to Harriet and Madison's room before he sees Cedric is taking some notes as he's surround himself with panties. 'Who's undergarment is who, Montevista?' Adam asks Cedric who didn't pay attention.
'Um...' Cedric with a calm serious tone, 'Who's room you're going to?'
'Maddie and Hare' Adam answers.
'Right here' Cedric grabs Madison's that was on his lap, and Harriet's at the far end of the couch. Cedric gives Adam Madison's as Adam grabs Harriet's.
Adam starts folding Madison's in a neatly fashion as he done the same for Harriet. 'Did you see Hare in her bed?' Adam asks Cedric as he's walking to their room.
'Nope, I'm too busy doing criminology notes and stealing some lovely set of panties' Cedric seems to be proud of it.
Before Adam could knock Madison and Harriet's door, he goes to Loki and Zozo's room, 'Zozo, I think Hare took your weapons, or in your case Flair, something else' Adam then goes up to the girls room to knock.
Madison opens up her door, all messy with her glasses down on the tip of her nose, she looks down to see Adam holding their underwear, 'Montevista?' Madison asks Adam, which he nods sadly.
'Isn't this the part where you screams out "pervert!" and slap Adam holding your panties?' Bean looking at Madison's chest with annoy expression.
Madison lazily turn to Bean who's kept staring, 'Why would I do that since I know Adam here is a true gentlemen, and unlike you, we all know that we could yell at Montevista because Montevista had a habit of sneaking in the girls room to either grope them or steal from them'. Madison turns to Adam to grab the underwear, 'Plus, this might be the neatest way Harriet's underwear would be folded since she does a one fold and tuck them in. Thank you Adam' Madison bows then softly shut the door.
Adam tiredly look back then remembers, 'Oh! Maddie, is Hare...'
'No she's not' Madison quickly answers it. 'I don't know where she go, but I'm gonna assume Wilt and Blush is gone, right?'
'Yeah' Adam answers, 'Knowing her, she might throw them over the window. And our friend Autumn...' Adam stops for the moment then pull out his Scroll to check his emails, 'And...'
The door opens quickly, 'Don't them up!' Madison panics but quickly had the Scroll at her face which Adam didn't.
'Won't you mind, my darling?' Adam asks Madison.
'Sure, Adam' Madison hesitant to grab Adam's Scroll till she grabs it to open up the email. Madison with an annoyed look as Harriet did before, she email pictures of Autumn, 'Damn it, Hare'
'Hey, Flare! Marquis! Zozo! Don't open up your emails' Adam calls out and warning them.
'Gotcha, Black' Loki spoke up from his room. 'Wait, knowing BaBa, he might'
'Right, I forgot' Adam walks back to his room to see Marquis.
Bean is looking confused as if everyone seems to accept the idea of everyone not causing over the top drama, as Cedric looks back with a grin. 'What did you expect?' Cedric asks Bean.
'I expect a lot of slapping, heavy case of fan service, everyone being angry over a huge misunderstanding' Bean answers Cedric's question.
'Well it's no surprise, and we had spent a year with each other to know one another. But you're hanging with the right group for such action since we had a food fight on our second day, and they got themselves in a huge fight at a Manor' Cedric recaps it to Bean.
'So... I missed the fun stuff?' Bean asks Cedric, 'Nah, the fun stuff was that we had to clean the entire Military School ourselves!' Cedric barks at the Bullet Parade.
'Wait! Did Montevista went inside of Mary and Schnee's room?' Loki spoke up as he left his room.
'Yes he did' Bean answers.
Loki angrily walk up to Cedric and open up his palms. 'Just give back Mary's underwear'
Cedric reaches out to grab Mary's underwear to place it into Loki's hand. 'Do you want Winter's underwear? They're exotic' Loki smile with pride.
'She can get it herself' Loki walk up to Winter and Mary's room to open it up to place it down to the side. 'Are you're not even dressed up?' Loki spoke to Winter.
'Adam, can you please get my pair from Montevista?' Winter asks Adam with a polite.
'Right milady Winter' Adam walk up to Cedric but Madison rush to Cedric.
'Actually, I'll get it for you Winter' Madison awkwardly smiled at a confused Adam. Madison grabs them and walk passed Loki to give them back to Winter.
'Thank you, Maddie' Winter grateful for Madison.
'You're welcome, Winter' Madison awkwardly smiled at Winter which confused her. Madison looks around the room and see no Mary. 'Where's Mary?'
'Yeah, I was gonna ask about that. Where is Mary?' Loki look around as Zozo got up.
Door opens to reveal a miserable looking Mary, holding Wilt in Blush, carrying Worthy with gloves on, and Zozo's gauntlet boxing gloves around her neck. Everyone, excluding Autumn and Harriet, are looking at Mary. 'As I was walking all around Mistral, looking for the shipping community meet and greet that Harriet told me about this morning. I ended up looking like a lunatic and been label as a anarchist due of carrying around all these weapons' Mary explain.
'Did you try to force more people to kiss against their wills?' Adam asks Mary.
'Surprisingly, no. I was trying my best on not trying to destroy everything on, but I did saw like multiple chances to force some boy trying to kiss a girl while he's on his date with this other guy' Mary continues to talk.
'Does... um... maybe if would be best if I can say it, a canon ship matters to you?' Bean hesitant to ask about Mary's nature.
'What canon ship? I don't believe anything is canon because shipping is universal' Mary answers as she walks up to the boys to give back their weapons.
'So basically you're forcing a "canon ship" to ship random people against their wills' Bean continue to talk to Mary about ship. Bean then looks at Loki holding Worthy without any troubles, 'Worthy? I thought you need gloves to wield it?'
'Not really, only when I need to call it back' Loki quickly answers as he examine Worthy. Loki looks up to Mary, 'Did you actually believe what Harriet said?' Loki is worried for Mary.
'Well when shipping is involve, yes I did' Mary smiles as she answers.
'Now...' Mary activate her Semblance, Cotton Hands, with claws popping up from her fingers which scared Bean, 'Where the hell is Harriet!' Mary walks to Madison and Harriet's room.
Loki grabs Mary's arm, 'She's not here'
'Then where the hell is she? Because I'm gonna kick her ass badly' Mary starts walking to the front door. The moment that Mary got up to the door, Harriet arrives.
'Morning everyone!' Harriet smiles as she enters their apartment with some bento boxes. 'I went to get some breakfast' Harriet present the boxes at everyone, Mary grabs them and placed them to her side, 'So... what have I missed?' Harriet asks but Mary punches her out.
-Mistral Pound-
Moon been thrown around, like she had been punch. Moon rubs her cheek with a cocky smirk. Misty goes to her side, 'Please, Moonie! He doesn't need to apologizes, I can take the groping'
'Mist...' Moon is getting up and putting up her fist, 'It's my job as an older sister to keep an eye out on you when they're unwanted perverts, but...'
The much larger Faunus is standing in front of her with Misty spread her arms out to protect Moon, 'You two don't have to fight! Look...' Misty waving her arms around, 'There's no need for an apology
'Mist...' Moon softly push her sister a side, 'I consider this as training...' Moon using her Speed Semblance which reveals that her eyes glow then simulate a sonic boom to rush at the larger Faunus, twirl in midair to throw a punch.
-Mistral Apartment-
Bean falls back as she rubs her stomach. 'Ouch...' she moans.
'How can you actually eat that much due of your size?' Zozo asks Bean who has a painful expression.
'Well... it's normal for the main character to eat this much, but I kind of wish it was a mountain fill of food' Bean answers.
'Well maybe she's an Enhancer-Based? Because most Enhancers are normally more fit and thus, more energy to burn' Harriet talks as she eats. She looks at Mary, 'Want another eating contest? I bought enough for us to have another contest'
Mary looks at Harriet, taking five bento boxes to sit far away, 'You're not gonna kick my gut like our first contest' Mary is still pissed after the contest.
Autumn is looking confused about both Harriet and Mary, 'Is there something I should know about these two? Besides the obvious sexual harassment from Ms. Wool there, but what about Ms. Bree here?'
Everyone, excluding Bean and Cedric, looks at each other with an awkward smile, 'Not really. She's just a sore loser' Marquis replies.
'Harriet took naked pictures of you while you sleep' Bean casually answers, trying to provoke over the top drama.
'Really?' Autumn looks at Harriet who smiles at her with plumb cheeks, 'Well...' Autumn pulls out a ticket for Harriet, 'Here's a ticket for you that you can pay this at the nearest courthouse or you'll face consequences of both community service and be a registered sex offender'
'Yeah, yeah. This isn't the first time I got a ticket for this action' Harriet grabs her ticket which reads, 2500 Lien.
Bean looks up to both of them, 'What? No big over the top dramatic comedy moment?' Bean is confused about the situation.
'You've been reading too much comics' Loki looks at Bean.
'Well a I was kind of hoping for something fun' Bean admits of being disappointed.
'Well you're hanging out with the right crowd for fun and excitement' Cedric added.
'Tell me about this Moon girl. How is she as a person since we're gonna risk our lives for her' Bean turns to Harriet who's engaged in a eating contest, looks at Bean with a plum face as Mary waits for Harriet.
Harriet swallows her food, 'Well...'
-Mistral Pound-
Moon is laying on the ground face first, breathing heavily while being covered by bruises, a black eye and her mouth has blood coming down. Misty is kneeling next to Moon, helping her out. 'Moon... just stop. Please' Misty pleading to Moon.
'I won't give up...' Moon struggles to get up as she glares at the Faunus. Moon is got back up with both fists are ready for another round, 'Till this asshole apologizes!' Moon slowly walks up to the Faunus who's grinning down on Moon.
'You know...' Marlin talks from behind which other Faunus and slavers were terrified from the sight of Marlin's group. 'If you lot are gonna cause this much trouble, we'll have to eat a lot of you up' Marlin grins as the larger Faunus walks back slowly.
'Captain Woods!' Misty is shaken in complete fear from the sight of Marlin who's at the front while Hara-Kaa with piercing white eyes with a black iris are looking directly at Misty, who completely bows in front of Marlin's group. 'I'm so sorry, Captain Woods. It's just that we all had a game of tag, and...' Misty looks up to Marlin with an awkward smile that she's obviously is lying, 'You know how larger Faunus tend to play...' Misty quickly turns to the other Faunus, 'Right...?' they all nodded out of fear.
'Really?' Marlin, using his Sharp Bone Semblance to grow up his finger nail that turns into a claw and press it under her chin to slowly turn her around. With a terrified look to the point of tears, 'So can you explain...' Marlin looks down to Moon who unknown to everyone, she immediately grabs Marlin's wrist and trying to force it away from Misty, 'Why our darling little rabbit here looks like complete shit?'
Moon with an angry glare, looking up to Marlin. Charlotte web shot Moon's other wrist to pull her away from Marlin. Hitting the ground face first then moment Moon got up, Rexe grabs Moon's head and slam her face down hard. 'Sable...' Moon struggles to talk as her face is down to the ground but Odile stomps her head.
'Yo! Didn't you get the memo a month back, you stupid rabbit cunt' Odile spoke with rude language, the Black Swan side of Odette. 'Sable is our motherfucking unit name! But right now, Captain Woods got some good fucking news for ya!' Odile got off of Moon to let Rexe to carry Moon with Charlotte restraining Moon's hands.
'Listen here, Moon' Marlin glares at Moon like a hungry predator looking down his prey with his claws still under Misty's chin. 'If it was up to me, I would had you dead filling up our stomachs, but we can't disobey the Admiral's orders to keep you silver-eyed brats alive. But right now, we gotta get you two presentable since there's a parade coming through Narren Gold'
Moon looks confused at first till she realize, 'Damn it, Hare...' mutters to herself.
'So go to the showers, but make it quick' Marlin continues to glare at Moon then withdraw his claws from Misty, who immediately went to her knees due of having Marlin's claws under her chin. Odile grabs Misty by the wrist to force her away from the site with Moon who Rexe continues to hold her. Marlin slowly looks back at the other Faunus then he looks at Hara-Kaa before looking back at them, 'Everyone is getting twenty wire whips. Now get in line!' Marlin orders the Faunus as Hara-Kaa has his rings on with disks flying next to him with whips coming down.
-Mistral Train Station-
'I got my ticket back to Argus!' Autumn happily present her ticket to everyone who got their tickets to Narren Gold.
'So I'm looking forward for our grand adventure together' Bean is looking excited as she looks at her ticket. 'My first adventure!'
'Maybe it should be better if Cedric left with Autumn, because we had too many members for this scouting party, and I doubt my former farmhouse near Narren Gold would hold this many of people' Madison suggest Cedric to leave. 'And having a pervet around would be terrible and brings bad morale to everyone'. All the girls nodded.
'Oh come on, Maddie!' Cedric leans on Zozo.
'Only my friends can call me Maddie, Montevista' Madison looks annoyed at Cedric.
'Anyways once we reach Narren Gold, and you just said that your old farmhouse is near to it, what can we expect?' Zozo politely asks Madison.
Madison start thinking till she spoke, 'I know they had to give out passports due of the tall walls with watch towers at each direction to protect them from the Grimm'
'Are these walls like 50 meters tall?' Bean asks Madison about the walls.
'They're not that tall' Autumn spoke up. 'Uncle Raijin always say that they're around 15-25 meters tall with a gate and security, at least the same around Argus' Walls'
'Uncle Raijin?' Cedric asks Autumn.
'Raijin Whitecloud, not really my uncle, just a good friend of the family' Autumn answers. 'He stated that he works near of Narren Gold. Always had this Panther Faunus near him, Fujin. Oddly, his surname is Blackcloud'
'Well I recommend suspecting everyone from Narren Gold if one of those Frost assholes recommend it' Cedric spoke up with an idea. 'So I'll start with the obvious. Say, Madison. What else should we know about Narren Gold?' Cedric looks at Madison.
'Well now that you mention it, and I guess I was just neutered at the time, I wasn't accused or anything for being a Faunus. I did see that Faunus were treated more brutally than most' Madison recalls a memory.
'That could be literally anywhere that isn't some Vale cities or survivalists of Vacuo' Bean added.
'I mean, really brutal treatment. There's a town center that I had to cover my eyes since it was one of those old fashion, Animal Discipline' Madison looks down as she hesitant to look up.
'Don't worry, Maddie' Adam comforts Madison who smiles back.
'Well if it's one of those towns, I guess Mary, Madison and I can blind in, but I doubt for Marquis, Zozo and Adam' Cedric point it out to the Faunus of their group.
'Oh!' Madison head tilts to her bag, 'That reminds of something...' Madison opens up her bag to look for a black fedora hat that got two odd shapes of opening at both sides, she gives it to Adam. 'Here!'
Adam looks at it till he accepted it, put it on as his black horns matches the hat. 'How do I look?' Adam asks Madison who's blushing hard.
'I say you looking rather fetching' Winter complimented Adam's new hat which annoyed Madison.
'I was gonna say "dashing" but sure, fetching' Madison said to Winter.
Loki noticed Madison's jealous look which continues to confuse Winter. 'Well...' Loki looks at both Marquis and Zozo, 'That covers Black, but what about BaBa and Geel? I doubt BaBa's hair would...' Loki got an idea then he looks at Marquis, 'How about you pull all of your Wool Bombs since without your Wool, it'll look like your bald'
Marquis seems surprise about Loki's answer, 'That's a not bad idea. I'll start pulling them all off once our train depart' Marquis agrees with Loki's suggestion.
'I don't know about Geel though, I think he might be a lost cause when it comes to hiding his silverback might be hard to do so' Loki reveals Zozo's Faunus features.
'Don't worry about me, I'm curious about what might happen' Zozo replies. 'But would they check on Adam's hat?' Zozo asks about Adam's hat.
'Don't worry, I'll make sure they won't check' Madison smiles.
-Mistral Pound-
'Now don't worry, my dear...' Odette placed a gun over back shoulder of Moon, 'This will only hurt for a bit'. Odette then pulled the trigger which stuns Moon.
'So why is my friends are coming to Narren Gold?' Moon asks Odette.
'Well I think your friends trying to save you, but we don't want to activate Protocol: Howl, do we?' Odette answers but "Protocol: Howl" spark a curiosity in Moon to turn.
'Protocol: Howl?' Moon looks sadly to Odette, 'Care to explain?' Moon pressed her index fingers together.
'Well I don't think I got the logistics of it, but if we'll kill everyone in that small isolated city. It is called "Controlled Freedom" if you win a Pony Race' Odette talks about it, 'And only the Admiral himself can activate Protocol: Howl'
'And who is this Admiral, may I ask?' Moon continue to interrogate Odette and taking advantage of her White Swan personality.
'I believe...' Oceana punches Moon's face, 'You think you can taking advantage of my fucking idiot side?' Odile curses out to Moon.
'It was worth the shot to be honest' Moon rubs her face while admitting.
'Just remember you rabbit cunt, if you tried anything stupid, your sister is gonna get it big' Odile is talking down to Moon.
'What if I just take Misty and make a break for it?' Moon looking snarky as she suggest an idea.
'You think we don't know that might happen. Protocol: Howl is our last resort. But we'll keep you monitored and we'll have Hara-Kaa to keep an eye out on Misty's tight little ass' Odile continues to talk down on Moon who's about to punch Odile for the comment but Odette appear from their body to hold her back.
'I already fought an asshole for groping my little sister, I'll fucking fight you for that comment' Moon angrily glares at Odile who's smirks.
'I deeply apologizes for my Black Swan comment about your little sister's rear end' Odette is trying to calm Moon down. 'But if I had to be brutally honest here; you're protecting your little sister from perverts but yet you continue to make attempt escapes' Odette continues to be baffled over Moon's actions. 'Oh well'.
'So how long will I be in Narren Gold?' Moon asks both Oceana.
'Depends how long your friends will be there. It is a self controlled city after all, so we won't have any problems' Odette answers.
'And you do know that I'm just gonna tell them about what things going down here, right?' Moon said to Odette.
'Does it really matter?' Odile looks at Moon.
'True', Moon slightly nods in an agreement.
The door opens for Charlotte Webster wearing casual wear with her mask on, 'Time to leave, ladies'. Charlotte talks to Odette through her Semblance.
'Understood' Odette nods with a smile.
-Train-
All the members of Bullet Parade excluding Autumn are heading to Narren Gold. 'We won't be staying at Narren Gold that long since we'll be surrounded by our enemies' Winter talk about their plan. 'And we should separate into two Teams of five' Winter looks at Madison, 'Do you have anything planned up?'
Madison look up her notes, 'I was thinking we should either separate into simple boys and girls, Faunus excluding one and Humans, or just oldest to newest members' Madison came up with three ideas.
'How about we go with Faunus and Humans' Bean suggest it, 'Since if our Faunus friends were attacked, they'll have an advantage by having three strongest members or we can have an equal amount of strong members since either Adam or Mary can join up with us. Plus on the Human side, we'll blend in with the crowd'
'That's actually a good plan, Bean' Winter seems to be impressed with the idea.
'So who's gonna be the odd Faunus in?' Harriet asks the group.
'Like I said, either Mary or Adam, but maybe Mary since we might need an attack dog in our side' Bean answers.
'I don't mind being with them' Mary seems to agree with the idea, 'But I won't mind whatever happen'
'But first, we should get some drinks...' Winter turns to Adam, 'Would you mind?'
'Oh! I'll get something' Adam got up, 'Does anyone want something?' They all made some request, 'I'll get them all'
Madison looks envious as both Adam and Winter are getting along. Loki looks concern at first then came up with an idea, 'Say Honeycomb can I speak to you, privately?' Loki asks Madison who's surprised about it.
'Um... sure?' Madison is confused, but she got up and with Loki behind her. They enter in a different room, 'So what did you want to talk about?' Madison asks Loki.
'It's about Black' Loki mentioned Adam, 'And how you had been reacting for whenever he interact with Schnee and Maples' Loki points out the obvious expression of Madison towards Adam.
'Huh?!' Madison is panicking over what Loki said, 'Well yeah! But... but... but...' Madison is trying to come up on what to say as she babbles and mutters anything that comes in mind.
'Well if it makes you feel any better, I got a thing for Mary' Loki reveals his crush towards Mary which stop Madison due of her being shocked.
'Wait... what?' Madison stands up straight with a confused look, 'You... and Mary?' Madison turns back then quickly look to Loki, 'You like the shipping girl?'
'Yeah' Loki looks confused, 'Why is that is any different between your crush to Adam?'
'Well the difference is that I'll admit that my crush is pretty much obvious, but it seems that you never show your crush to Mary' Madison pointed out on Loki's mannerism.
'You didn't noticed on how I call everyone by surname but I kept calling Mary by her actual name?' Loki reveal his talking mannerism. 'Seriously, how did you missed that?'
'Well...' Madison was gonna speak till she looks up to recall everything, 'I didn't hear that correctly. Honestly, I thought you were warming up to us'
'Unless we're in the heat of the fight, I'll call everyone by their first names. But anyways, I'm just gonna be forward with Mary. If she said no, then it's a no. I can live with that' Loki accepts whatever outcome once he asks Mary out. 'And...' Loki, for once being embarrassed, 'I'm honestly hoping we get to watch the Vytal Festival together' Loki is blushing for the first time. 'So how will you tell, Black?' Loki asks Madison about her situation.
'Well...' Madison started to blush harder, 'I was planning on taking him to my old farmhouse since it's nearby of a lake village called, Hana'
'Sounds romantic...' Loki looks back at their friends before asking Madison, 'Know any place near of Hana that I can take Mary if she said yes?' Loki asks about any other place.
'Hana is known to be a beautiful place of flowers next to a lake, but you could ask Kimura who's the village chieftain' Madison made a suggestion.
'Good to know, thanks Honeycomb' Loki smiles at Madison. 'Oh! I forgot to ask' Madison is wondering about what question Loki want to know. 'Maybe speak to Schnee about your jealous tendencies, because from what I heard from our first night at our second year, they tend to have more of a platonic friendship rather than romantic interests'
'Okay then' Madison accepts Loki's advice. Both of them return to their friends.
'Say...' Bean looks at Loki who's looking intense as he enters their room, 'Mr. Flair, I got a question'
Loki turns to her, 'What is it, Jackson?' He sat down across of Mary.
'Why do you call everyone by their surname, but as I recall your action this morning, you call Ms. Wool by her given name' Bean compares Loki's speech pattern on his way he address to everyone.
'What do you have in mind, Jackson?' Loki asks Bean as he knows what Bean is trying to say.
'Do you like, Ms. Wool?' Bean asks Loki about his feelings.
'You want an honest answer?' Loki looks at Bean who nods while Mary looks confused at first. Loki looks at Mary with an awkward smile, 'Would you like to go out on a date?'
-Mistral Train Station-
Autumn is waiting for her train to arrive till she noticed Bean had left her Twin Roses weapon. Autumn stares at it for a while till it finally came to her, 'How crap! Ms. Jackson left her weapon!' Autumn grabs it then noticed her bag, 'How did you managed to lose your entire bag?!' Autumn looks around and immediately run to the station counter, 'Can I get a refund for this ticket and/or exchange it for a trip to Narren Gold?' Autumn asks.
-The Frost Truck-
Both Moon and Misty are wearing Mistral cultural attire. 'Moonie...' Misty is worried about Moon, 'What are you gonna do once we get Narren Gold?'
'For once, I get to rest my body from the fights, the "escape" attempts, back breaking work and training my body' Moon answers, 'And if my friends are coming by, it should be nice to see them all again' Moon looks sad as she doesn't want them to come.
