Hello everyone, DWG here to bring you the second chapter of RWBY: The Swarm Unleashed! Hooray! I'm not being lazy!
Anyways, the first chapter was well received. Which to be honest was really making me all happy. Do you guys know how many notifications I got from Yahoo mail? A lot, and that's not even including 4 reviews...yes, I know that the amount of reviews is not a whole lot, but still...
Might as well call what happened the great migration, eh?
Anyway, let's head on over to the reviews!
Janne Rolfe Jalandoni- Okay...
edboy4926- Thank you!
Gazagunmen- Yes, that's something I took note of...despite the fact that he gets KO'd during major fights.
No, sure I may be a degener-connoisseur that loves the harem of all kinds, but that ain't happening in this one. Kerrigan has Raynor, and she only thinks as Alain as her little brother, sides, I ship them both.
And here's the next chapter.
Gaster- What do you mean? Please clarify.
That is all, enjoy!
I don't own anything except some stuff
Chapter 2- Learning about Remnant, and a test
Eyes slowly opening, Alain groaned as he got up and held a hand over his head. It was still ringing and painful.
"What happened?" He muttered to himself as his vision began to get clear.
Once it did, his eyes widened slightly as he looked around him.
Lush green trees growing healthily, wildlife running free, he can even hear a nearby river rushing down an unknown path.
'Where am I? This isn't Char!' He thought as his eyes glanced around, observing everything around him. Nothing around him is familiar. No Zerg, no Spawning Pools, not even lava. It is all different from where he was just seconds ago.
"Wherever I may be..." He huffed as he closed his eyes.
'Stukov, I need an extraction, pick me up.'
He waited for a response, only to receive none.
Narrowing his eyes, he tried again.
'Stukov, do you hear me? Answer me!'
No answer, this time he was getting worried.
'Stukov! Damn it, Izsha, what is Stukov's status?'
Again, no answer.
'What is happening?' Alain thought worriedly as he attempted to stand, only to wince as he felt his right side sting from pain. Still tasting iron from his mouth, he scowled as he closed his eyes. "Better heal my wounds, for now." He sighed as he laid down on the grass.
'Zagara, can you hear me?'
Nothing.
'All Broodmothers, if you can hear me, respond!'
Once again, nothing.
'What happened? Why isn't anyone answering me?' He thought as he closed his eyes, focusing on healing the damages done inside his body.
"First, I need to fix the internal bleeding and my ribs." He muttered in distaste as he held a hand over where his ribs are. "This is gonna be painful."
? POV
A feminine figure with green hair reaching her hips while wearing an unzipped camo jacket revealing the white tube top underneath, revealing her slightly toned stomach. Below her top, she wore a camo short skirt with the symbol of a green leaf shot by a bullet and a black belt that contains a pouch full of magazines.
She was walking around the woods, humming happily as she let her eyes wander around the trees.
On her back is a dark green rectangle with various lines, indicating it's just not a simple shape.
Her light green eyes shined brightly with innocence as she wandered around the forest as if it was her home.
"Should probably bring something, but what?" She muttered to herself as she pondered about it. "Beacon's gonna start in a few months..." She has her weapon with her, some extra clothes, but what else should she bring? It was quite a predicament for her. Especially since she and another one are the only ones from the nearby town that is going to Vale, to Beacon.
"Oh, Beacon is not even a week away and already I'm acting like this!" She chuckled nervously as she lightly slapped her cheeks. Nodding to herself, she jumped up and landed on a branch. Focusing on her senses, she looked around her surroundings.
Closing her eyes, she relaxed and exhaled lightly as she used her ears.
'A pair of birds to my right...a rabbit...a deer...and...a person?' Her eyes widened slightly as she turned to her right, exactly where she heard it. It was faint, and the breathing sounded heavy, the panting and the hisses of pain only solidifying the answer.
'That person needs help!' She thought quickly as she bent her knees slightly before jumping off the branch.
'The breathing, he must be hurt.' Focusing on her sense of hearing, she can hear something painful. She winced as she heard bones cracking and popping and as well as the sound of pained groaning only made it worse.
This in turn hardened her resolve as she put more strength into her legs, making her hop faster. In her wake, nothing but leaves are left in her trail.
Coming across a clearing, her eyes widened as she saw a teen around her age wearing strange black clothes slumped on a tree. But that's not what caught her eyes, what caught them was the blood dripping off his chin.
This in turn caused her to rush towards him and checked for Grimm.
Once that was done, she sighed as she looked him over.
His face was fairly handsome, his red hair shined brightly, and the blood dripping off his chin made the scene look strangely serene.
With this in her thoughts, she blushed as her eyes widened as she shook her head and reached to her pocket. Pulling out her Scroll, she quickly tapped on an icon before looking over him again.
"Hello? Leaf, what's up?" An old and mature voice called over. "Dad, come over to the forest! Someone's been injured!" The now named Leaf replied before hanging up.
Her eyes widened briefly as she looked around her, expecting Grimm...but strangely enough, there wasn't any. Her eyes narrowed as she slowly tended to the unconscious teen.
Unknown to her, the teen, Alain, is actually awake.
Using his Psionic powers, he delved into her mind, ignoring the irrelevant memories.
What he found was rather...shocking, to say the least.
Remnant, Dust, Faunus, everything that got his attention, everything that is vital, that's what he needs to know.
There are some information he took rather well, but there are some that bewildered him.
A broken moon? Okay, fine, there are planets where the sun and moon rotate so quickly that each day and night cycle lasts a few hours at best.
Grimm? Must be the planet's local fauna.
Dust? A material that is exclusive to this planet, maybe?
But people with animal traits? That is new. He never encountered such a thing. It reminds him of the Terran girls that he often 'played' with, except the ears and tails were just props.
And these Scrolls, they are unique, that's all he can say about that.
But Aura? The manifestation of one's soul, is truly unique, just like his Psionic powers. But the difference is that Aura is actually quite common, not like the Terrans in the Dominion where having an affinity with Psi energy is a one-way ticket to becoming a Ghost or a Spectre.
But in here, instead of becoming a Ghost or a Spectre, the people in Remnant can become Hunters and Huntresses.
"Oh, what am I going to do? I trained to be a Huntress, not a doctor!" She complained to herself as she checked him over, making sure to be gentle with her movements, not that she needed to.
'I expected to be in a planet ruled over by the Dominion or other Terran colonies, but not this.'
"Come on Leaf! Think! What do I have to do?"
'There is nothing more I can learn from this girl, not even anything about the Dominion, Protoss, or Zerg...strange...am I in another world?'
It certainly made sense. Not being able to contact any of his aides made him suspicious, learning words and terms unknown to him only solidified it.
'But, let's assume that I am on another planet, not a world. I'll have to learn more.'
"Oh! Oh! What do I do if he dies before they get here?! No, come on, Leaf, you can do this!" And at that Alain felt her lift him up, or at least, attempt to.
3 minutes later
After a short time of being 'healed' and being watched over, Alain felt his body boiling with irritation. Why? Leaf was walking around and talking to herself every so often, and it's reached a boiling point.
'This girl is annoying.' Alain slowly opened his eyes. His face set into a scowl, time to shut her up.
"Shut up, you're giving me a headache." She stopped her babbling as he opened his eyes, revealing his cyan eyes to her green ones. Her eyes sparkled for a moment, making Alain's eyes twitch as her mind was filled with words such as 'handsome' and 'pretty eyes'.
In return, he would have made a comment about her being cute enough for certain...activities, but his sister made sure to drill the proper ways to treat a girl the last time they talked.
It was hard to manage it, honestly.
"Hey, what are you doing, Leaf?" She stopped and blinked twice before backing away slightly, a nervous grin plastered on her face. "R-Right, sorry...wait, how do you know my name?" Alain wiped the blood off his chin as he stood up, causing Leaf to panic as she tried to stop him, only to get a glare from him causing her to stand still.
"You and your father talk loud." And at that, Leaf blushed. "Ah...hehehe, really?" She chuckled nervously as she scratched behind the back of her head. Then suddenly, her eyes looked alarmed. "But wait, you're hurt!" Alain sighed as he allowed her to check for any sign of injuries.
"You do know that you've checked me for injuries earlier and found nothing, right?" Again, Leaf stopped what she was doing and chuckled nervously. "S-Sorry, I was just worried." Alain didn't respond as he stretched his body for a bit, happy that his ribs are back in their proper place.
That means no broken ribs and no bone piercing his lungs. Just right.
"So, what's your name?" Alain narrowed his eyes as he stared at Leaf, who is busy playing with her fingers. He sighed as he used his Psi energy to dive into her mind. 'It is always like this, I have no reason to trust others. Trying to learn more about me, huh? Let me see what you are up to.'
'Gathering information on me, why? I'll find out myself.' He thought bitterly as he read her mind. But in doing so, his eyes widened as he read what she was thinking.
'Oh, what do I do? It's the first time I'm talking to a boy my age. I don't wanna embarrass myself! What if he thinks I'm weird? Oh, I just want to be his friend!'
Blinking in confusion, she isn't gathering information on him but to be friends with him? The moment he became the Swarm's leader, almost everyone wants to learn more about him just to harm him. There are only a few that won't do so. Either because they're a part of the Swarm, or they consider him as an ally, or they are afraid of him.
'Is this girl serious? Normally, one would be suspicious of finding someone just unconscious in the woods, but this girl does not even care! Instead, she wants to be friends with me?'
It was clumsy, stupid, irresponsible...and yet, something rang inside of him.
'Find some friends, will you?'
His eyes widened. 'Sis...' It was an old memory, not like the last time they had a heart to heart talk, but it still holds the same thing that his sister wants him to have.
Friends.
Friends are people that help you, nothing more nothing less, that's what he understood back then. But ever since his sister spent time with him, it changed.
What he understood wasn't being friends, it was like a contract that he himself wrote.
'Friends are people that will stick with you, despite knowing who or what you are and there will always be others who want to be friends with you.'
Again, her words rang inside his head.
Looking at the blushing girl, who's thoughts are an absolute mess that it hurts, Alain looked down, deep in thought.
'Is this what she was talking about?'
Was it this simple? No, it can't be...but...
'Well, I'll try it anyway.'
But the simple things are always worth a try.
"Alain. My name is Alain Kerrigan." At that, Leaf stopped herself and looked at him, her eyes sparkling. "T-That's a good name! I'm Leaf! Leaf Fritz!" Gone was the girl who was a blushing mess. Instead, she is now replaced with a cheerful and energetic girl.
But perhaps it was too energetic.
Feeling a sweatdrop drip down his head, Alain just nodded as he stood straight. Dusting off the dust and dirt from his Ghost uniform, he sighed in bliss as he felt no pain.
"Even if it was for a short time, it feels nice to not feel broken ribs." He said as he pushed his hands against his back, feeling a satisfying pop resounding through his back, he groaned in satisfaction. "The beauty of Aura." He gave her a faint smile causing her to gush silently.
"So, when will 'help' arrive?" He asked while emphasizing on 'help' with the quote-unquote sign.
"Oh, uh, wait just a sec." She closed her eyes, her stance relaxing.
Deciding that its best to observe, Alain waited.
"5...4...3...2..." Leaf opened her eyes and gave him a cheery smile.
"1!" And out from the trees came five men, all of them buff and built like a damn sculpture. They were all carrying weapons ranging from swords, axes, and rifles. They were dressed in casual wear, but if Alain were to make a comment, then they look like the mercenary group War Pigs, minus the combat suit. A group of mercenary Marines that like to drink and start brawls.
"Hey! Where's the wounded?!" A tall green-haired man wearing an unzipped jacket, pants riddled with holes and a body that only a war veteran should have came out of the woods last. He was carrying a shotgun on one hand and a medkit in the other. And he, like the others, is buffed as hell.
"Dad! He's fine, he has Aura!" The man blinked for a few seconds before approaching her. Placing a hand on her shoulder, he grinned. In return, Leaf did her own grin as well.
Turning towards Alain, who was still silent and watching impassively, she was about to introduce him, only to be stopped by her own father.
"So...you have Aura." Alain nodded, gaining a glint in his eyes.
Leaf looked surprised as she blinked a couple of times and rubbed her eyes for good measure. She didn't just see Alain's eyes glow, right?
Alain smiled as he looked at the tall man straight in the eyes.
"I am a Huntsman-in-training. I was just travelling around, waiting for Beacon to start." He said with clarity making the large man whistle.
"So, you're applying for Beacon then? Good for you, kid! Now, I know that you're travelling and all, but what brings you to Patch?"
"As I've said, I am travelling for a bit." This caused the man to grin. "Then why don't ya stay on over at town for a bit? Gotta be tired from all that travelling." Alain blinked as he adopted a thinking post, this kept on going for a few moments before looking over at the man.
"That would be much appreciated." Behind her dad, Leaf cheered silently.
Finally! Someone she can talk to! Someone other than a certain someone who loves to tell terrible puns!
Her dad nodded as he tossed the medkit over to one of the men.
"Great! I'm sure that you'd love it here! The name's Ratch! Ratch Fritz." He held out a hand towards Alain, a gesture that he returned.
Gripping his hands, Ratch nodded approvingly. "That's a good grip you have there." Alain just smirked as he huffed his chest proudly. "I train." Ratch laughed. "So, you do! Come on, the town's just a couple of minutes from here."
"Walking or running?" Ratch smirked as he hefted his shotgun over his shoulder. "How do you think we got here that fast?"
"Right."
Running it is.
5 minutes later, Patch
Entering the town, Alain had to admit, it was nice. Everyone was happily going about, doing their business. Children were either playing with each other or helping out at shops.
It was so different.
"Welcome to Patch! Home to Signal Academy." Leaf cheered as she happily skipped alongside Ratch. Everything here, everyone is happy. So, vastly different from everything he knows. Sure, there are some colonies that are happy around the Koprulu Sector, but here, they don't have to worry about the Zerg or Protoss attacking, or the Dominion forcing them to work.
It was a nice change of pace.
Hell, the only reason why he came along was because he needed to learn more about this place, about Remnant.
He needed to blend in. And in order to do that, he needed an identity. "Much appreciated." He nodded towards Leaf. "I'll only stay here for a few days, I need to do something at Vale."
"How long?" Ratch questioned.
"Three days." Ratch hummed in understanding while Leaf visibly slumped.
"Aww, I was hoping you would stay longer. It's no fun when you'll only stay for that long." She pouted as Ratch laughed. "Well, since you'll only be staying for three days, we'll make sure you have the best time of your life here at Patch!"
"Hey dad, why don't we let him stay at the inn?"
"Ha! Good idea!"
Meanwhile, Alain felt his eyes twitch.
'I don't have any lien on me.'
Next day
After manipulating the manager and the clerk's minds into thinking that he paid for his room for three days, Alain dedicated his time to studying. Thankfully, there was a nearby library.
All night, all he did was study.
Did he need sleep? Yes, but a night or two of staying awake can be easily managed. Sleep deprivation is the part of a training as a Ghost, after all.
On that night, he learned many things. Some are things that he already knew, but some of them made him get a deeper understanding as to what is what.
Dust, Remnant's one and only source of energy. Very useful.
There are no Minerals or Vespene Geysers at Remnant, which is worrisome. Not only does it make the Zerg stronger by strengthening their carapace, teeth, and claws, but it also serves as a source of nourishment for the Swarm.
He will have to experiment with Dust to see if it is possible for Dust to be a suitable replacement.
Grimm, not much is known about them, only that it is a soulless monster hellbent on exterminating humans and Faunus. This is due to the fact that once they die, they don't leave a body behind, they just turn into dust.
There are four kingdoms. Vale, Vacuo, Atlas, and Mistral. Each with their own culture and traditions.
Alain took note of everything about the four Kingdoms. From Atlas's martial prowess and technological advancement to Vacuo's harsh lifestyle.
Then there is Aura. Sadly, only Signal Academy's library has information about Aura.
He will have to improvise.
Closing the book that contains the cultures of Atlas, Alain sighed as he looked out at the window.
It was already morning, he spent so much time researching that he didn't notice.
Sure, he could just read the mind of a teacher from the local Academy to learn more quickly, but reading is one of the few things that Alain enjoys. So, he would rather not. Even his sister would agree.
He would continue reading, but he has something to do today.
Namely...
BANG!
"Good morning, Alain!"
A tour with Leaf.
It was simple really, yesterday, Leaf wanted to show him around Patch. Of course, he accepted with his sister's words in mind.
Getting friends.
It was one of the 'simple' things Sarah Kerrigan, his sister, wants him to have. She stated that he was still young, so he should get some friends. Not that he could understand such a concept, but she did say that he will understand when the time comes.
"You do not need to be loud, Leaf." She smiled bashfully as she scratched the back of her head. Sitting up from the bed, Leaf blinked as she noticed a stack of books just beside the bed. "T-That's a lot of books..." Alain smirked as he stood up and settled the book he was holding on top of the stack.
"I love reading."
"Okay, come on then! Let's go!" She was energetic, that's as much as he can say for her.
2 hours later
It is now noon, Leaf has toured him all over town. From the best ice cream shop in town to the local Dust shop.
Right now, they are in the local bakery, seated at a table. Leaf was happily munching on a cupcake, while Alain settled for a glass of water.
He had asked her if they could visit Signal, but bad luck seemed to have struck since the Academy is closed for the weekend.
'There are only two libraries here. The public library and the one in Signal. It seems that I have to use my powers to get a better read on Aura.' Alain mentally sighed as he made the plans inside his head. The only thing he has to do is find a teacher from the Academy.
But the thing is, what teacher would be in town on a Saturday?
"Well if it isn't Leaf!"
"Ah! Professor!"
He blinked as he looked to where the voice came from and saw a tall tanned blond man waving towards them, or to be more specific, towards Leaf.
His face showed surprise, but in his mind, he was smirking at the luck that he got. 'What a nice coincidence.' Alain thought to himself as he invaded the man's mind, causing his eyes to glow briefly before disappearing.
He already learned about the basics with Aura thanks to Leaf, but there is no pain in learning more about it. Especially since he was presented with a great opportunity.
Diving into the man's mind all the while ignoring the irrelevant information such as his name, his two daughters, and his complaints about his paycheck.
In his head, he grinned widely as more and more information about Aura entered his mind.
Strangely, it was like his Psionic powers, but different at the same time.
While all are almost the same, there is one different thing that differentiates Aura from Psionic energy.
Semblance, it all differentiates from person to person, but there are some cases where the Semblance can be passed down from generation to generation.
Some are like a mild version of some things that he can do using Psionic powers which made him scoff, but there are some that managed to catch his interest.
Mainly the fact that there is one that can affect luck of all things. This was baffling, to say the least since luck cannot be controlled. And there is also the fact that some Semblances are uncontrollable. Most Semblances can be controlled akin to a person turning a switch on and off, with enough practice and training. But there are others that have a permanent on switch, meaning, even if the individual trains for as much as they can, they will never be able to turn it off.
One individual known as Qrow Branwen, a fellow teacher of the man known as Taiyang Xiao Long and as well as his brother-in-law.
"Oh, I'll be going now." Taiyang quickly said as soon as he saw him. Turning a discreet glance at Leaf, he gave her a grin and a thumbs up.
"Professor?"
"Don't worry, just called over to say hello. I'm on an errand so I can't stay and chat, have fun with your date!"
"Ah! Professor! It's not like that!" She tried to call out to the man again, only to stop as Taiyang already left. Turning towards him while shyly playing with her fingers, she chuckled weakly. "I-Its not like that...right?" She asked as she tilted her head cutely, uncertain.
"Dates only happen when two people who are into each other meet up and do things." At least, that's what his sister said. She never did have the time to go on a date with Raynor with all the wars happening in the past.
"Uh, right..." Leaf chuckled weakly as she finished her cupcake.
Nodding to himself, Alain drank the rest of his water.
Needless to say, Alain learned quite a lot, mostly about Aura, which is a plus in his book. The rest are all unnecessary, but at the very least, learning about them was quite enjoyable to a degree.
Among the irrelevant, he quite enjoyed what Leaf called a waffle in a diner that they visited for an early dinner.
If it was introduced as a ration back then, then all Marines, Ghosts, and Firebats would gladly take on an Ultralisk with only a fork in preparation for eating.
Many Captains, Commanders, and Quartermasters underestimate hungry, pissed off Terrans.
Once night arrived, Alain thanked Leaf and went to his room to continue studying. It wouldn't do if his army would explode for nothing just because he experimented with Dust, after all.
Next day
Spending many hours on reading into any book he could get his hands on, many would say that he is insane for not even sleeping. But Alain would just scoff and continue what he was doing. Thanks to him being part Zerg, he can manipulate his hormones so he could keep himself awake. That and his training as a Ghost helped him a whole lot.
Closing his book as he heard a knock resound throughout his door, Alain turned to it and called out. "Come in." The door opened and this time Leaf isn't alone. Behind her was a blonde beauty that wore very revealing clothing. Her lilac eyes looked at him full of confidence and mischief as she gave a wave of her hand.
If Alain were to make a comment on her, then she would be the hottest girl he has ever met in Remnant. In Remnant, because there are two people hotter than her. Namely, his sister, not that he would say it out loud, and Nova.
Blinking as the blonde entered the room and closed the door, Leaf smiled brightly as she came in front of him and turned to the blonde and to him.
"Sorry if I brought someone else with me. But she insisted." She shyly held a hand on her left arm as she gave him a nervous smile. Waving it off with his hand, Alain replied. "It is fine, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble. Now if you would introduce yourself." He motioned his hand over to the blonde causing her to give him a confident smile.
"Yang Xiao Long, nice to meet you, cutie~!" She flashed him a wink as Alain sat up from the bed. "Alain Kerrigan, same to you." He finished with a smirk causing her to do the same.
Yang POV
When her longtime friend Leaf told her she was looking after a guy, she expected a lot, and she's glad she expected it. Because in front of her is a guy brimming with hotness.
His clothing made him look like some sort of soldier and the fact that he is also a Hunter-in-training made it even better. And inside those clothes, she can already imagine what is beneath them. The holes on the arms gave her a pretty good idea.
And don't let her get started with his voice! It was smooth like silk but at the same time just masculine enough to make it sound powerful. And his smirk made him look so much better. It was like hers, full of confidence. It was enough to make a weak girl's knees turn into jelly.
'Test one: he passes.'
But she's not a weak girl. She's Yang Xiao Long! Breaker of hearts, full of awesomeness, and on her way to becoming a cool Huntress.
"So, heard from Leaf here that you're applying for Beacon." He just nodded with his eyes closed.
'So, he's a cool minded sort of guy, huh? Let's try the usual.' She held a smirk as she leaned forward, giving Alain a close view of her cleavage.
Leaf blushed as she held a hand over her mouth, flabbergasted over at the fact what Yang is doing...again...
Alain's eyes opened, his gaze landed on the cleavage for just a second before moving them up to stare at Yang's lilac eyes.
She expected him to blush or grin stupidly but, he just looked at her with his cyan orbs, not even an ounce of anything lecherous crossing his face. 'Hmm, he keeps his cool.' She hummed approvingly. 'But how about this?' She smirked mentally as she closed the distance between them.
Beside her, she could hear Leaf gasp before a thud resounded throughout the room.
Why? Well, she is kissing him while straddling him. Don't get her wrong, but she wouldn't just kiss anybody. No, she only kisses hot guys around her age. Specifically, hot guys that she could take as a potential boyfriend.
Besides, why should she be embarrassed? She has many exes, and she kissed them a whole lot in the past too. And she is always on the lookout for more potential boyfriends. Hell, back then she gave away her first kiss to a random classmate back in the class the moment they started to date.
But there is one thing she hasn't given away. Her virginity. She's not like those prudes that told others that their first time should be with their future spouse. No, she ain't about that life. She's adventurous, she's always looking for fun. But for some reason, she hasn't found the right guy to take her v-card away...but that's just usually because all of her exes were actually dicks.
And now, she is looking for a boyfriend who is not a dick. Or a girlfriend, she's not that picky anyway.
She herself is ready to get one in her to pop her cherry, but she won't let a dick do it.
And that's what this is for. If she's kissing him and acting like a desperate slut, then she'll know whether or not he's a dick.
'You either get to the last test or a black eye, don't disappoint me, Alain!'
But unknown to her, Alain was reading her mind. Which caused a spark to awaken itself inside him.
He won't be teased by a virgin, no way! But, he is quite competitive thanks to Raynor trying to get close to his sister back in the day.
So, instead of taking her shapely rear, he decided to do nothing.
'It's been ten seconds...' Yang thought to herself as she pulled away from Alain, expecting him to be a blushing mess. But to her surprise, Alain looked unphased, there wasn't even a single speck of dust on him!
Yang stared at Alain for a few seconds before chuckling as she stood up and fixed herself.
'He passes. Now he just needs to pass the last test.'
Phew, I'm tired so I'll leave it here. Thanks for reading, now I know some of you are surprised by what has happened there in the end, but let me explain myself.
She's an adventurous type of gal, so it would make sense that she has a few exes. Not only because she is an absolute bombshell, but she's also a teen. And we all know as current teens or adults, that we teens want to either spend some time with their girl/boyfriends or find one and do random shit together.
And to be honest, I'm quite tired of reading fanfics wherein Yang is an absolute virgin when it comes to kissing.
Now, does this mean that Alain will be more active AKA not dense? Well, he is pretty much a psychic, and he's a teen with plenty of experience under his belt, so you take a guess.
When will we see (read) Alain raising his very own Swarm? Keep on reading and waiting.
Will Leaf play a vital role? Yes. Not relevant as of now, but in the future, yes.
Are Alain and Yang together now? Nah, not yet.
That is all, if you have any questions, PM me or leave a review that I'll reply to in the next chapter.
But for now,
Ciao! Peace!
