Ethan Finally woke up after disconnecting from the Info Throne. It resembled a Typical Gamer's Desk chair with out a Swivel base.
Instead it was embedded into a Little pyramid. And the speakers beside his head actually pop out to fold out two halves of a Helmet over Ethan's head. Where they gather every facet of info in his head.
They open and reced back into the chair head rest for Ethan to get up and Stretch. He opens the door to see that he was in one of many Throne rooms in the Throne Hall.
He exits it to see Ruby was busy tinkering with her Weapon. He Pat her head and walked to his Room. In there he suddenly felt Gravity leave him and he floated up into the air. He rolled his eyes as he swam in the air to a wall and flipped the Switch to feel gravity come back. Everything setting themselves back down gently.
He Got dressed in his Beacon Academy Uniform and felt it was Restitched to facilitate his new physique. He noticed he was taller as well. His Legs Felt double jointed but its hard to tell. He Also noticed the two Unnoticeable slits on the sides of his Uniform shirt and jacket for his Extra arms to show themselves.
He Took a Choker and Set it onto his neck over the carapace like armor covering it. It was quite plain but had a blue metal buckle on front with an unnoticeable seam of a hidden button. He pressed it and His Body Devolves into his original form to before this whole mess.
He Felt his powers weaken but the Core in his Brain stay. His Elemental sacs Were covered up and Quite weak. Only allowing Ethan to Shoot small bursts. He tried breathing it out only for it to just come out as spurts of Fire, Bits of Rocks, Snowflakes, and just blowing wind.
His Arm stingers were still gone as well. He stretched his Muscles and took one more look in his mirror before nodding and Grabbing his things. His Music Player Amp Radio. Rakyu who was in it's cat form again, and his Bag of things he collected. Condensed to save space.
He exits his room to see that Ruby was in her uniform too. Her Weapon on her back hidden by her cloak. Her things in a Bag on her back. "Alright Time to head back to Remnant." Ethan declares. "Yep. When in time will we arrive?" Ruby asks. "Madko says the same time as when we had that fight. So it won't be too detrimental to the Timeline." Ethan says.
"Oh! What about the others?" Ruby asks referring to Rem, Shera, Diablo and Krem. "Madko says they'll be living here from now on and when Madko finishes it. He can make a Key for you guys to visit me and the others here when I do have to leave Remnant eventually." Ethan explains as they step through the portal. They arrive in the Nighttime of Beacon. On the same balcony where they fought.
Ethan sniffed the air and Smiled brightly. "Ah just gotta love that sweet fresh air." Ethan Comments. He and Ruby head to their dorm to see That everything was just like before.
"I gotta admit. It's Quite a Weird feeling being set back in time by a day." Ruby comments. "Eh. You get used to it after a while." Ethan comments.
They walk to their dorms ready to turn in. Unaware of what happened to the world in their absence.
Ethan was busy Moving Jaune through the motions of Swordplay. Things were quite boring back at Beacon. And It showed. Ruby and Ethan were just, Bored. After the events back in Diablo's World everything feels alot less challenging now.
"Now. I want you t attack me with all you've learned." Ethan asks. "Alright." Jaune says. After Ethan demanded Jaune apologize to Pyrrha after telling him Ozpin already knew about his Transcripts He began training Jaune in swordsmanship and Hand to hand. More specifically dirty fighting.
Jayne Slashed and Changed his Hold on His sword to slash upwards and stab downwards. It caused the blade to embed into the floor before Jaune rolls on the ground to slash and Pull the blade out to floor with force. This was Dodged or blocked by Ethan and the strength of the blows were something else entirely.
Ethan smirked as Jaune panted and Threw his Shield. It made Ethan Move back and Jaune to sweep the legs on Ethan. He fell to the ground and Ethan Chuckled as Jaune went for a Final stab.
The blade clanged against Ethan's Carapaced hands that caught it. Ethan Tossed Jaune over Him and Drew his second Blade To rush him. They stobbed at a Scissor motion to cut Jaune's Neck. "You're dead. But you have improved by quite a lot." Ethan says.
He sheaths his Blades to Grab Jaune and help him up. "I say by the time the Vytal Festival comes around you'll be able to compete with a couple second or third year teams." Ethan comments.
"You really think so?" Jaune asks. "I know so. But for now I want you to spend tomorrow studying. Or no more training. Don't think I noticed you flanking out on your studies lately." Ethan comments. Jaune groans as he walks to his Dorm. Ethan chuckles before Turning to the Sky.
He Pressed the button on his Choker and A Black and Blue Jumpsuit covered his body. Over that was a Pair of Baggy jeans and a Pair of Cut out holes at the sides of the jumpsuit to let his lower arms free. He wore a Mask over his face connected to his jumpsuit that covered his Face and Eyes in exchange for two Eye covers. a Fedora was on his Head and the light up mouth in his mask turns on. He also had on an open Jacket over his body and Combat boots to finish it off.
He Stretched and Jumped down. He dropped into a Portal under him and onto a Rooftop on the city of Vale. His Form covered in shadows as blue lights on his Body glow in the night.
His eyes, His Jacket fitted with decorative lines leading to a central ring on the back, His legs with two decorative lines. His mouth that showed the creepy skeleton like Grin, and his Boot's soles. His tail was out and free to move around in. and his choker's Buckle glowed as well. on his back the jacket had two holes exposing the Crystal growths on his back. his ears were also out in full view. And he wore a pair of Full plate gauntlets to boot. His belt held a Set of Four pistols that are modified specifically for him. And a Pair of Said that mechashift into daggers.
Behind him a Similar fellow dropped besides him. Rose petals following her. She had on a Jumpsuit as well. With two lines on the front and one on the arms connecting to a Central line on the back. The Back line stopped at the belt for a skirt with red glowing trim and little black frils in them. The red glowing lines descending the sides of her legs into the knee high boots with red glowing laces and Soles. The arms ended in a Lop that stopped at the middle of her lower arms for a pair of Frilled sleeve ends with red glowing frills and trim to the black sleeve covering the pure metallic hands. Her own jacket had the sleeves rolled up and opened while the cowl cover her mouth and nose. The Silver goggles being the only contrast.
Each finger on the mechanized hands ended in a Sharp point and both hands held five fingers. The tips glowed and had a Line leading to a Central Circle on the back hand and a bigger line leading to the arms, Each joint in the fingers glowing red as well. They we're bulky, Sleek, and powerful.
"Hello Rouge." Ethan called Ruby in her codename.
"Hello Blight. Ready to Hunt Torchwick?" Rouge asks.
"Affirmative." Blight says.
They run along the rooftops remembering the conversation they had about what to do now.
"I'm sorry what?" Ethan asks. "I have been thinking and want you to help becoming a pair Crime fighting vigilantes with me." Ruby says. Ethan thought about it for a Moment. "Uhm sure. Why not? It will certainly give me reasons to stretch my skills further on. But why ask me?" Ethan says.
"Ever since we went to Diablo's world I've felt everything was, I don't know weaker than back there." She comments.
"You do got a Point. Alright. But I'll be designing the clothing we'll be using. No exceptions. I'll have to speak with Madko for the creation process. Aside from that I suggest You think up a new weapon to use. Crescent rose is quite Recognizable after all." Ethan states.
Blight crouched on the beam as did Rouge. They were observing the Activity of the Criminals with Torchwick talking to them.
Blight jumped to the next and Rouge climbed along the rafters. daring to not use her semblance as it will make petals that reveal her location. They stalked around Recording what they see with their goggles and See that Torchwick was pointing out possible locations to Rob.
Blight Looked to see that a Breaker box was in the wall nearby. He smirks and turns to Rouge. He darts his Head to the breaker box And She nods. Her mask lights up with a Red manic grin. She uses her semblance to rush their and Slashes the Breaker box. Destroying it and cutting the Power.
"Hey who turned of the lights?" One grunt asks. "What the hell is going on?" Another asks.
"Gentleman." Blight says. His Mask and Eyes glowing in the dark and showing that his Voice has changed. Everyone looks and was unnerved by the lines popping into existence.
Another face up to Blight's Waist lit up. Silver eyes and a Silver cat like smile. "We have come here. To stop you all." Blight continues. Rouge's Eyes turn blood red and the manic grin is back. She begins to giggle and Chortle. "Though my associate Here would like to play with her prey before we do. So fella's. Prepare to whimper." Blight Declares.
Rouge was begin to laugh maniacally now. Her claws glowed brightly and they shot through the air and slashed at the grunts. Each falling down as the paryalizers in the claws took effect.
Blight fired his Guns to show they were designed like revolvers but have no trigger. The Handle was literally designed like a Shovel handle only smaller and with thicker bracing. the Barrel had a Long blade integrated under it to slash with, and the revolver mag was constantly refilling itself with Teleported in Bullets. Each one rubber tipped.
He holsters his two lower guns to grab Thorny Palms and slash with his sai's. revealing the sias make hard light sword blades to attack with.
Well more like his B.L.C. making the blades. He looks to see Torchwick running away but Blight wasn't having that. He whistled and Rouge looks up then dashes after him. Blight was right behind her chasing after Torchwick. He fires upwards to hit a Neapolitan themed girl fall down from the surprise attack.
Blight stayed behind while Rouge ran off to tackle Torchwick. He shatters and Torchwick escapes as so does the Neapolitan girl. Blight scowls at the broken pieces but his Mask opens to reveal a Long tongue picking up a Shard. He swallows the shard and his Aura glows as that girl's Semblance becomes a Part of Him.
He turns to the grunts and breaths out black bloodied smoke along the floor.
It encapsulates the Entire floor piercing through the Grunts' skin and then Taking blood out of them. Enough to fill an entire orb that Blight swallows. The DNA assimilates and He feels his Aura get stronger and Stronger.
Only for it to shatter and Mid Muscles to Tear apart suddenly. "AGH! FUCK!" He yells. He collapses and Rouge had to grab him and Shoot off to a Safe place.
"-and in other news. The Newest vigilante Duo Red and Blue have taken down a Full warehouse of Villains. With only bruising being the main injuries to the many criminal's arrested. According to police reports. Red uses claws that are laced with a paralysis Inducing chemical that disables Muscle control for a Maximum of about 10 hours. While Blue uses Guns fitted with Rubber Bullets. Said bullets have steel fillings to add more impact to them." Lisa reports on the News.
Ethan and Ruby look up from their books and homework to see that their team were watching a New's feed. "Vigilante Duo?" Ethan lied.
"Yeah. There is this new Vigilante Duo that has recently came up." Yang comments.
"-Police officials have stated that this Duo are to turn themselves in immediately. as they are currently under warrant of arrest for interfering with official work and Multiple Assault charges. Aside from them Local's state Vale hasn't been safer until Red and Blue arrived and are thanking the two for what their doing." Lisa states.
"Red and Blue huh?" Ethan comments. He looked at the news feed to see they had a Picture of the two Posing for a Picture. Rouge's Silver goggles changed into a Silver visor and with red light up eyes conveying the symbol as eyes.
Blight meanwhile was letting his mask convey he was sticking his tongue out and smiling whilst winking. His tail wrapped around Rouge's waist and The Toothy silver grin on her mask conveying a light blush on her cheeks.
'That was a little risky taking a Picture of us but still worth it in the end.' Ethan thought.
"The only concern is the sporadic anemia conveyed through the arrested criminals with no obvious ways to bloodlet that many people. The scratches barely broke the skin themselves so its quite possible one of them used a Semblance to do so." Lisa adds.
Ethan Grimaces at the incident. Turns out he gots a Limit to how much he can assimilate at once. Though now that he thought about it, its probably for the best.
The news went on to show other things so Ethan went back to his book. More specifically a Book on the history of Remnant. Ruby meanwhile went back to her own things now done with her homework. Weiss got onto Ruby's bed, Which was Fixed thankfully, to discuss plans for something.
Ethan's Scroll, Which he totally forgot he had, Rang and He opened it up. "Oh sweet. The materials are here." He comments. He dons some street clothes and Heads out. "Don't wait up for me. I got a Package to pick up." He says.
The door shuts and Yang comments, "Wonder what he got?"
(Later)
Ethan Held the multiple packages bound by Zip ties and a Bigger box to hold all of them in on his Back with his Lower arms holding the Bottom and his Upper arms Holding the sides.
'Alright This should be enough materials for Iteration #14. It's time I fixed it up.' Ethan though as he enters the Local Workshop.
He stopped at a nearby workbench and set the boxes Down to open the biggest one. revealing it was a slab of Cut wood he ordered from Madko. The wood has an edge that curved naturally and was cut into 5 boards. Each with unique edges and shapes.
The wood itself was Crimson in color. And had Spiral Grains in it. Ethan Took one Board and set it down. He Drew where to cut and used the Band saw to cut it.
He repeated this till he got a couple of manageable pieces to work with.
One craftsman butted in. "That is some wood you got there. What's It called?" "The guy I ordered this from said its Called Crimson Stem. He's a Geneticist focusing on creating tough Woods. This is tough but not as tough as He expected. So he's selling these away for profit." Ethan Comments. He Fitted the cut Crimson stems into a Lined tip and Set them in a Few places he would have Set. He grabbed the Epoxy out and Mixed it up. He poured a Thin layer on the Bottom and Let it settle.
He Gathered some Shavings and poured them into a Cup with some orange dyed Epoxy and Glowing orbs of Hard light He made.
It would be a While but Ethan was willing to wait.
Ruby and Wiess where busy finishing the gift they made for Ethan.
"Think He'll Like it?" Ruby asks. "Of course he would. We made it after all." Now we just gotta wrap it up and package it for his Birthday tomorrow." Weiss says.
"Right." Ruby says. She picks up the product to reveal it was a custom made electric Guitar. it was quite small and compact for the electronics to be housed in it. It resembled the binding an Handle of a battle Axe. The Hardlight dust projectors on the Guitar created blue Hardlight Axe blades on the sides. The bridge and pickup along with the strings are set further in the guitar for a Plate and the Neck to close them off when it changes to Battle axe mode.
The axe heads where curved with three divers along the edge resembling spikes and were quite dull and thick that when the Guitar goes into Battle axe mode, They sharpen and can cut into steel no problem.
Ruby Places it in the Custom case for it and plugs it into the Charging dock. "By the way how did you get Ethan to tell you his Birth date?" Weiss asks.
"I didn't. Madko, The Spanish teacher, told me. He is Ethan's Legal guardian." Ruby answers.
"Oh that makes sense." Weiss comments. Ruby smirked at what She'll say next. "So. When are you gonna ask him out on a Date?"
Weiss choked on her spit and sputtered. Blushing and clearly taken aback by Ruby's boldness. "Wh-wha-what do you mean?" She stammers.
"Oh don't try that crap with me. You know as well as I do you got a Crush on Ethan. And believe it or not I don't mind sharing him." Ruby says. Weiss looks up. "Wait are you two..." "Dating? Yes. Officially? No. And after some revelations relating to his condition. He has to have a Harem. which is just hilarious to me." Ruby comments.
"So then that means," "Yep. You are invited to his harem. But don't tell Ethan that because he is still confused on his situation." Ruby comments. Weiss 'Ahhs' at that. "Has anyone else joined?" Weiss asks.
"Two of them. Rem and Krem. Long story short they helped me come up with the idea of a Harem." Ruby confirms.
"How come I never heard of them?" Weiss asks. "I believe I can answer that." Madko butts in. "AAGH!" Weiss jumps in fright while Ruby unexpectedly hugs him. "Hi Madko." She says. "Hello Rose." Madko comments patting her head.
"Uh, what is happening now?" Weiss asks. "Oh don't worry. This is part of an unrelated matter. But long story short I'm teasing my boy mercilessly when he turns twenty one." Madko says. "I see. And what did you mean you can answer that?" Weiss asks.
"Ah yes. I suppose you should know what happened. Boop." Madko remembers before booping her nose with the Mind hand.
Weiss stumbles as Ethan and Ruby's experience in the other world surged through her head. She almost fell but Ruby caught her.
"Ugh, What was that?" She asks. "That was My way of Getting the two to make up after they fought and to blow off some steam. Though I will admit I didn't think that Ethan would get a Fucking harem of all things." Madko couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"Oh boy. Well Anyways I hope you understand at least Weiss. And remember that you got a Spanish test in two days time to hand in." Madko states. He Released his Grip on her mind with his Mind Hand and Left them to their devices.
He Opened his Phone and dialed in a number. "Hey Torchwick. Yeah the plan is still ago?" Madko asks.
"Of course. And when this is Done You promise I'll be allowed in?" Torchwick asks. He was in a Warehouse Preparing to Steal a Freighter of Dust.
"I do. Now I don't care if its successful or not here. Just as long as you trigger the events. After that I'll work on getting you into the mansion." Madko says.
"Thanks. Anything to prevent my death." Torchwick says. "Anytime. Seeya soon." Madko says.
He hangs up and held up his Reality hand to see how Ethan was Doing.
Ethan Finally finished Tuning his Creation. A Custom Epoxy and wood 8 Stringed Gibson Explorer Electric Guitar. The entire guitar was stained to a Dark color and the Epoxy resembled glowing lava. It was glowing thanks to the jar of Glowstone and Redstone dust Madko gave him. It was hooked up with two pickups. It held a Wammy bar and had the usual electronics to it. An Input female jack was on the Bottom connected to the pickups. On the Guitar Where metal Emblems of his Team shown Proudly on it. He Gave it an Experimental strum and it sung beautifully.
He Also collected the many scraps he has and stored them away in his Ruck sack. Letting the other craftsmen use the wood he's got. He did keep one board that was quite thick in his opinion and Put it in his Dimensional storage bag when no one was looking. He Put the Guitar in a Case he made and strapped the case to his back and headed back to his Dorm.
"Oh the girls are gonna love the new Guitar when I present it to them tomorrow." Ethan says.
He stuffed his hands in his Pockets and Walked to the dorms. Unaware of what's in store for him tomorrow.
And Scene.
