"What do you think our other two teammates are going to be like?!" Eliana asked as she kept a few steps ahead of Neela. "Maybe one of them will be a Faunus! That would be awesome!" Neela laughed at Eliana. Eliana was always bubbly and her imagination kept the two of them entertained. Neela decided that she would tease her a bit.
"What kind of Faunus?" Neela asked.
"A snake! Maybe a girl with really seductive snake eyes! An unbreakable gaze that almost hypnotizes her prey before she strikes!" Eliana exclaimed. She formed a sort of claw with her hand, turning back towards Neela and leering at her. "Look into my eyes! You cannot escape my grasp!" Neela folded her arms and looked away playfully, forcing herself to walk awkwardly for a few moments as her bag bumped against her knees.
"I think you're just trying to find someone to replace me," Neela told her, peeking over at Eliana from the corner of her eye. Eliana shoved Neela and Neela chuckled.
"Shut up! Like I'd ever want to replace you," Eliana told her. Eliana smiled and moved next to Neela for a bit, Signal was getting closer by the minute and with every step they put behind them, the more excited Eliana became. "What about you? What do you think our other two teammates are going to be like?" Neela looked at Eliana, lost in her dark green eyes for a long moment. Maybe it was the outfit that was driving her to act so rash, or perhaps it was the fact that in all reality, the only person that Neela could think about was Eliana, she wasn't sure. Now was the time for her to make a move, now was the time for her to tell her. Then they would be able to take the new school year together in stride and Neela wouldn't have to worry about losing her to someone else. Neela walked past Eliana quickly, stopping in front of her, and dropping her bag on the ground. "Neela…?"
Neela grabbed Eliana's face and pulled her in hard for a kiss, Eliana's hand pushing against Neela's chest in a fit of surprise and struggle before wavering and resting gently below her clavicles. A strange hunger overtook Neela as she held Eliana's face close with her left hand on the back of the girl's head, her right hand finding the middle of Eliana's back and pulling her in close. They both gasped, but neither of them wanted it to stop as they kissed each other again with even more force, Neela sucking gently on Eliana's lower lip. Eliana's hands slid up over Neela's shoulders and wrapped around her neck.
"As long as we're together, I don't care who the other two are!" Neela exclaimed exasperatedly.
"Neela?" Eliana asked again. She waved her hand in front of her friend's face, snapping her out of it and she shook her head. "Are you okay?" Neela looked away in disappointment as she lightly brushed her own lips with her fingers. Dammit! But it had felt so real! She looked back at Eliana and smiled. Eliana had the cutest puzzled look on her face. Neela was half tempted to act out her fantasy at that moment, though she knew deep down that fear would get the best of her.
"I must have started daydreaming there for a moment," Neela explained. Eliana raised her eyebrow and gave her friend a twisted smile as she started walking away from her. "Hey, what was that look all about!?"
"Oh nothing," Eliana told her with a wicked grin. Neela laughed and shoved her hard. "Hey!"
"Come on! You can't just act like that and then tell me that it's nothing!" Neela exclaimed.
"I saw that look you got when you were daydreaming. It must have been about some cute boy, huh?" Eliana asked. "I think your chest even started flushing a little!" Neela froze for a moment and took a sharp breath in. It's you, Elli. You're the one who does this to me. Neela looked down and adjusted her top, following after Eliana again and letting out a long sigh. Someday she'd be able to tell her, but not yet. "Was I close?" Neela laughed sheepishly.
"Not exactly," Neela replied. Eliana stopped and spread her arms out, the bag she was carrying slammed into Neela, stopping her in her tracks. Eliana pointed and screamed silently as she bounced up and down. Neela noted the large airship, which had the Vale emblem painted on the side of it, doors open and ready for students to board.
"There's our airship!" Eliana exclaimed excitedly. She picked up the bag in both hands and sprinted the rest of the way, leaving Neela behind to wait for her mom. She shook her head and looked back, watching as Violet and Blake slowly made their way to meet up with her again. She expected that they would have caught up more during the thirty-minute walk. Neela grinned as she made eye contact with her mom.
"Come on you two! At this rate, Elli's gonna tell them to take off without us!" Neela called back. Blake looked at Violet and gave her a nudge, pointing past Neela.
"You're one to talk!" Blake called out. Both of the women disappeared and Neela scanned the woods for them for a moment before turning back around to face the airship. Violet was hugging Eliana and Blake sat on the corner of a large water fountain, legs crossed as she gave Neela a coy smile. Blake's clones always seemed to get the better of Neela, though one day Neela hoped she'd be able to see through them.
"That was dirty," Neela told Blake trying to hide that she was impressed.
"If that was dirty, then I'm not so sure that you're ready for Beacon," Blake replied with a chuckle.
"I'll miss you," Eliana told her mother.
"I'll miss you too Elli. Just remember, no matter what happens, I'm proud of you, and I know your father is too," Violet told her. Elli nodded, then rejoined Blake and Neela. The girls gathered up the bags and climbed onto the ship, other students surrounding them, saying their goodbyes as well to their parents and other loved ones as they prepared to head out to Beacon and begin their new lives. Eliana set her bags down near the window and stacked them up, leaping onto them and sitting comfortably as she stared out into the ocean. She smiled as she gestured for Neela to join her and she pointed out at the vast waters.
"Think about it!" Eliana exclaimed. "Soon we'll be on our way to the greatest adventure ever. Our first steps to becoming huntresses! Great ones at that! Team STRQ went to Beacon! And JNPR, and CFVY, and let's not forget the most important team ever…" Neela shook her head and rolled her eyes as she leaned against the wall next to Eliana. Blake squeezed Neela's shoulder before continuing to the front of the ship.
"Team RWBY," Neela offered monotone and sarcastically. Eliana shook her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
"Yes! Why are you not excited?! Or did you forget that your parents make up half of that team?!" Eliana asked her. Neela turned away and stared out the window.
"Don't get me wrong, saving the world from Salem was no small feat, but I'm sick of people always seeing me as the daughter of half of Team RWBY. 'Look at Neela, her greatness is in her name! Of course, she'll be amazing!' It sucks! I want people to meet me and see a girl who has tried her hardest and struggled to get here just like everyone else. I don't want people to expect me to be great, I want them to know that I earned it," Neela explained. Eliana nodded, dropping off of her perch and throwing her right arm over Neela.
"I know…" Eliana reassured her. "But still, your aunt is Ruby Rose… Ah! I can't get over that!" Neela chuckled, shaking her head again.
"It's pretty cool I guess," Neela agreed.
"You guess?!" Eliana scoffed. The platform retracted slowly and the airship roared to life, slowly climbing into the air. Eliana ran quickly to the other side, waving to her mom as the door closed and leaving her with one last afterimage of her mother waving back, smiling as she always did, even though she feared what would happen to her daughter while she was away. Eliana returned to Neela and gave her a smile, staring out at the water with her as it rippled beneath the ship, the waves slowly crashing against the concrete shoreline of Signal Academy. "Not to mention that your Aunt Weiss runs the Schnee Dust Company, and rebuilt Beacon Academy with the company's extra funds. It's impressive that the school was only shut down for seven years after the attack."
If Neela stepped out of herself and looked at the bigger picture, yes, she could see how absolutely amazing all of it was. Her mothers had fought with her aunts to bring down Cinder, Salem, and countless other major threats, which had placed Remnant into another period of peace. They had known Ozpin, the great wizard who had sacrificed himself to help them defeat Salem. Her parents were still relatively good friends with everyone that attended the school with them. Ruby was now the greatest huntress in all of Remnant, presiding at the head of the Remnant Peace Council. Weiss was president of Schnee Dust and provided her and Eliana with all of the Dust ammo that they could possibly ever need. Blake now worked at Beacon as assistant to the Headmistress, and Yang worked there full time as a close quarters combat instructor. Even after their glory days, they were still finding ways to continue their work and make Remnant a better place.
But all of that faded and Neela remembered that all of those things that were amazing about her family is how she was defined. Isn't your Aunt Ruby the greatest huntress to ever live? Didn't your mothers take down the White Fang? You're the niece of Weiss Schnee, President of the Schnee Dust Company. All she wanted at this point was to be seen as who she really was. Aren't you Neela Xiao Long, the greatest archer to grace Vale? That's why she couldn't help but be madly in love with Eliana. Eliana saw her for who she truly was. Her own person.
"So, the trip lasts for about 15 – 20 minutes from what I've heard!" Eliana exclaimed breaking the silence in Neela's head. "Soon we'll be able to see Beacon, the greatest school in all of Remnant!" Neela laughed.
"Beacon this! Beacon that! You better hope that they have a gift shop!" Neela exclaimed. Eliana laughed and shoved her.
"I hope they do, I'm excited!" She exclaimed.
"I've noticed!" Neela offered in return. She glanced around at the other students. Most of them must have gotten on in Vale before the ship made its stop out at Patch, Neela only recognized a few of her classmates, but they weren't ones that she had ever talked to or associated with. A sound activated behind them, a jingle of sorts, which caused them to turn and face the opposite wall, a graphic for Vale News Network lit up across the wall before disappearing. It was replaced with Lisa Lavender's image.
"Good morning enrollees for Beacon Academy. Thank you for flying Vale Airships and please take a moment to make yourselves more aware of the world around you by listening to this newscast that was designed specifically for this flight. Beacon Academy strives to make its students better people by making them take notice of the issues that may soon affect all of you. Here are the latest happenings around both the City and Kingdom of Vale." The image flickered, displaying the man that Neela and Eliana had run into in the city the night before.
"Hey! That's…" Eliana exclaimed. Neela clamped her hand over her mouth.
"Shhhh! Listen!" Neela scolded her.
"A criminal known only as Orion was spotted last night robbing several dust shops in Vale and raking in a rather large sum of lien. If anyone has seen this man or knows of his whereabouts, please do not try and confront him as he is extremely dangerous. Local authorities are asking that you call the number at the bottom of the screen and they will take it from there. Orion is believed to be a high ranking member of an organization run by none other than Mercury Black. If anyone has details on Mr. Black, they are also asked to contact the number below and avoid confronting him as well." The image flickered once more, showing a video feed of Faunus delaying a parade.
"Last week during the Vale Fall Festival, an organized group of Faunus protested during the citywide parade and caused havoc, standing in the middle of the road and blocking the parade route. While the initial demonstration was one that could be considered peaceful by most, it begs the question as to whether or not the White Fang has rebanded after nearly 10 years, and whether or not they intend to become violent once more. This protest comes only weeks after the Remnant Peace Council ruled that businesses and services, as well as schools, cannot discriminate against Faunus, the first pro-Faunus law to be introduced and enforced since the Faunus War." The news feed died and Neela spotted Blake watching from near the pilot's seat, her eyes wide as she shakily reached for the scroll in her bag to call Yang. She seemed to fumble with it for a moment before she finally brought it up to her ear.
"Is your mom okay?" Eliana asked. Before Neela could reply, the screen lit up again, this time a 3D hologram of an older looking woman appeared.
"Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" She announced. Eliana grabbed Neela's shoulder and leapt up and down.
"It's Glynda Goodwitch!" Eliana exclaimed.
"I am the Headmistress of Beacon Academy, Glynda Goodwitch."
"I knew it!" Eliana yelled.
"Shhhh!" Neela hushed her again.
"You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is once again experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world. So all of the staff and myself would like to congratulate you on your accomplishments and determination to make it this far, and we welcome you to Beacon." Glynda's hologram disappeared and Neela looked around, noting that at some point during the speech, Eliana had moved to the other side of the aircraft again. She pointed out the window and ushered Neela over.
"Signal! And you can already see Beacon from here too! Two separate worlds, yet so close!" Eliana exclaimed. Neela watched for several long minutes as the airship crept closer to the school and a wave of anxiety and unbridled excitement swept over her. Her body trembled at the idea that she was no longer going to be safe at home on Patch with Yang, Blake, and Shadow every day. Here she would get done with school, maybe have an after-school job, and return to her dorm with her teammates so that she could discuss training strategies and homework assignments. Despite the fact that both of her mothers worked at Beacon, she was still, more or less, on her own now. She had to decide how she would spend her time. She would decide when to call it a night. She would get to choose whether or not she slept in on Saturdays.
She'd have Eliana with her, that was a given, despite Blake trying to scare them and telling them that they might not be able to find each other during the initiation. Neela had begged her mother to divulge the secret to ending up on the same team together, but Blake refused to say anything to her, telling her that it might be good for her to step out of her comfort zone. That was easy for her mom to say, she wasn't the one that was going to be stuck with a group of strangers for the next four years of her life. Neela took a deep breath, she couldn't let all of this get to her. At the end of the day, she would still try just as hard to be the best she could be, no matter who she ended up with on her team.
Neela and Eliana stumbled slightly as the ship began its descent and slowed towards the cliff side. Neela could see the students rushing about, talking to each other, roughhousing, laughing, and running to get to wherever they were heading on time. Eliana grabbed Neela's arm and clung to it, causing Neela to look down at Eliana's hands before looking up at her friend again.
"What's up?" asked Neela. "You okay?" Something had changed in Eliana for a moment, it was as if she was scared.
"I'm so nervous," Eliana replied. "But I have you here, right? Why should I be nervous?" Eliana asked her. Neela smiled at Eliana.
"You shouldn't be." The door slowly swung open and they stepped off onto the walkway. "Don't be." Blake stepped off behind them and gave them a gentle shove towards the school building as she stretched and set down her bag for a moment.
"There it is," Blake told them. "Beacon Academy. I've waited for this day for such a long time, and now that it's finally here, I find it's all just a bit surreal. You'll be sitting through the same lectures that I had to endure. You'll train in the same arenas. Vytal Festival will be here before you know it! You also won't have your year cut short by any of the maidens, they all gave up their powers for the sake of stopping Salem years ago."
"Alright already," Neela told Blake chuckling as she handed her her bag. "You can let us go now. Go check in or whatever you have to do and we'll see you soon." Blake smiled softly and nodded.
"I'm proud of you Neela," Blake told her messing up her hair. Blake walked away, leaving the two of them in silence as they made their way towards the first courtyard, walking next to each other as they pulled their luggage along the path. Eliana looked around in awe at the architecture and scenery that surrounded the school. It really was like a completely separate world, Beacon had been placed high on a cliff making it the ideal location to fend off the majority of would-be attackers. The only way to access the school was via airship, and any hostile airship that approached the school would be shot down by any of the staff or students long before it would be in range to mount an offensive. The school was surrounded by woods that dropped off into the Emerald Forest, meaning any attempts to climb the cliff side would be thwarted by the Grimm below or Huntsmen or Huntresses above. Beacon had never been breached with the exception of the attack by Cinder.
"Just think! Any of these students here could be our teammates by the end of the week!" Eliana exclaimed. "Some have swords, guns, spears, maces… is that a hair dryer? Neela, look! That guy has a boom box for a weapon!" Neela continued towards the tower and left Eliana a few steps behind her. "Neela! Wait up!"
A girl with black track pants and matching sneakers turned around to face towards them, the shouting of Neela's name drew her attention. She wore a brown long sleeve shirt, the right sleeve had been removed and she wore a white athletic sleeve instead, both arms had wrist tape that wrapped around the outside of the hand and around the thumb. A black beanie with the word 'warrior' across it in white font completed her look. She watched as Eliana stood in the middle of the courtyard, calling out to Neela as she gathered her belongings back up and chased after her. She smirked through gritted teeth as she felt her tonfas at her sides, one holstered on each hip.
She looked Neela over and she was overcome with excitement. The other students had told her that Neela was the one that everyone would have to struggle to keep up with. Neela was the one who was going to set the bar higher than any of them had ever tried to reach before. The girl scoffed at all of it. She'd prove herself once and for all to start the year off, tearing down Neela's bar and setting her own. Now was a better chance and venue than any other.
"Neela Xiao Long!" The girl called out. Neela stopped for a moment, her shoulders tensing before she glanced over her shoulder to look at the girl.
"You know her?" Eliana asked. Neela maintained eye contact with the student before turning away and continuing towards the tower.
"No," Neela replied.
"Neela!" The girl called out again. She ran out into the middle of the courtyard, catching glances from nearby students watching as things unfolded. "I've heard stories about you! They tell me that you're the best that Vale has to offer!" The girl smirked as she adjusted her cap. "I'm the best Mistral has to offer!"
"So?" Neela called back. The girl looked around at the gathering crowd and threw her hands out, shrugging her shoulders in a mocking fashion.
"'So?' 'So?' What do you mean so? I want to take you on! Prove that you're the best, and I'll let you keep the title!" She called out to Neela. Neela set her bag down and turned completely around.
"What are you talking about, who are you anyway?!" Neela asked as she started to walk back towards her. The girl laughed and she looked around at the crowd, pleased with its growing numbers. This would solidify her spot as the ultimate Huntress at Beacon.
"I am the Maniac of Mistral! I've won more bar fights and underground street brawls than you can possibly imagine sweetheart. My birth name is Tawney Lupara, and I aim to be the best at this school. So, are we gonna fight, or are you conceding that I'm better than you?" Tawney asked. She removed her tonfas and spun them in her hands. "Look at me now, the Brawler of Beacon!" Neela shook her head and returned to Eliana, picking her bags up again.
"I don't have time for this nonsense," Neela shouted back.
"So you're willing to let these people think that I scared the great Neela Xiao Long into a forfeit?!" Neela froze, a chill ran through her body at the thought of forfeiting to this girl. "The Maniac wins by default then! A win's a win no matter how it comes!"
"No!" Neela yelped before she could stop herself. Neela looked at the students, all of their eyes fixed on her. She had to beat this girl, or at least try. She wanted them to see her as more, as someone who could be looked towards in times of need. She had no choice. This pleased Tawney even more and she cracked her knuckles, bouncing lightly on her feet. Neela glanced over at Eliana who gave her a subtle smile.
"I'll watch your bags. Go kick her ass," Eliana told her. Neela smirked as she handed her luggage off to Eliana and moved back to the courtyard, the mass now moving towards the outside, giving them as much room as possible to fight, they had formed a circle around the girls.
"I've waited a long time for this moment Neela. I just want you to remember this beating when we graduate and they say that I was the top of our class and that no one could beat the Maniac!" Tawney pulled her shirt off over her head, revealing her toned abs and black sports bra, her shirt took her beanie with it. She had short light brown hair that was nearly a buzz cut on the bottom, pulled back into a small simple bun. The sunlight glinted off of her copper-colored eyes as she slowly circled Neela who removed her bow. She grabbed the grip and quickly pulled back on it, the two limbs closed together swiftly to form the blade and the grip became the sword's grip, the sights fixed between the grip and blade. She held it loosely in her right hand as Tawney lightly gripped her tonfas.
"Well, show me what you've got," Neela spoke after a moment. Tawney charged in hard and Neela took a deep breath in, activating her semblance as Tawney moved in with alarming speed. The moment drew out for a long moment as Tawney defended with her left arm, swinging her right arm beneath it. Neela swung her sword down, effectively blocking the blow, but Tawney fired her left tonfa which doubled as half of a shotgun, giving it a considerable amount of kick. The force jerked Tawney's body counterclockwise quickly and gave her enough extra power to knock Neela's sword out of her hands. There was a gasp as Tawney swung around with her left fist, hoping to catch Neela off guard, but it wasn't going to be a short fight like Tawney hoped. Neela had leapt back, placing distance between them and activating the grapple hook on her arm. It ensnared Tawney's left arm, weapon and all, and pulled her towards Neela. Neela leapt, detaching the hook as Tawney arrived and planted her feet against Tawney's chest, kicking her and rocketing backward into a backflip. Tawney stumbled back as she watched Neela land on her hands, following through and landing upright as she snatched her sword up.
Tawney charged again as Neela moved with blinding speed, her weapon quickly becoming a bow and she loaded an arrow, firing before Tawney had closed half of the gap. The arrow exploded moments before hitting Tawney, the gravity Dust trying to throw her back, but she charged through unaffected. This startled Neela for a moment and Tawney batted her away, connecting her tonfas together and firing into Neela's back as she stumbled. The shot slammed into Neela, throwing her to the ground. Neela rolled onto her back as she landed, deflecting the next shot with her sword and redirecting it. It slammed into Tawney and she fell back onto her butt, leaping to her feet at the same time as Neela. Neela stared at her for a long moment, she tried to assess the situation so she could prepare to move in for the kill.
If she moved in, she could continue to avoid and block Tawney, but Tawney would outlast her, the girl seemed as though she had been designed for endurance and overpowering. She'd probably find an opening and use brute force to pry it open, hammering away until there was nothing left. Neela could outmaneuver her for a while, but if she grew tired, it would only take one solid blow to give Tawney an advantage. She could put distance between the two of them, but the same held true for that strategy. Tawney would most likely fire everything she had until it was too much for Neela to handle. Neela would have to bait her, and then finish her off when Tawney would be off guard, convinced that it's over.
They charged each other again, Neela meeting a series of blows with blocks from her sword as Tawney swung harder and harder, determined to find an opening, but it was no use, Neela was better than she could have expected. Neela watched and carefully moved into a submissive position, knowing that this girl would try the same attack as she had before, and the plan worked without fail. As Tawney spotted a small opening in Neela's defense she slammed her tonfas together, swinging up underneath to blast the girl in the chest. Neela threw the sword forward and as it flipped out into its bow form again, the upper limb smashed into Tawney's face. She reached up, a knee-jerk reaction to the pain, and Neela loaded an ice arrow quickly, firing it and immobilizing her enemy. Neela charged in with her sword held high and swung, it would be enough to deplete Tawney's aura.
"That's quite enough Ms. Xiao Long!" A commanding voice declared. Neela found herself suspended a few inches from Tawney, unable to move, her sword in mid-swing. Neela immediately recognized the woman who stopped beside the two of them as Glynda Goodwitch, the Headmistress of the school. She held her switch out towards both of them, using her semblance to keep either of them from moving. "If the two of you would like to face off, you will only do so on school grounds in one of the designated arenas, and the battle will be monitored closely. This goes for you as well Ms. Lupara. Do I make myself clear?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am," Tawney agreed reluctantly as the ice shattered and Neela dropped to her feet. Glynda looked out at the rest of the students who groaned and murmured.
It was just getting good.
Why did she have to ruin all of the fun?
When will we get to see another girl fight like that?!
"That goes for the rest of you as well!" She declared. "Now all of you please finish checking in so that we can commence with the opening ceremonies and other boring traditions that none of the rest of you will care about." Glynda walked past without so much as another word and Blake followed closely behind. She gave Neela a stern look but had no time to stop as Glynda was clearly set on the next matter at hand. Tawney held out a reluctant hand and Neela looked at it for a long moment before looking back up at her opponent.
"You're good Neela, I'll give you that. Next time you won't be as lucky as to have Headmistress Goodwitch interfere in the match," Tawney told her. Neela scoffed before chuckling and shaking the girl's hand, turning away and rejoining Eliana who stood in absolute awe. Tawney slipped her shirt back on and pulled her cap snug, heading towards the tower with the rest of the students that had gathered. Tawney was grateful that the Headmistress had stepped in, but now that she had seen Neela in action, she would win next time.
"That was amazing!" Eliana declared. "Just amazing! You blow my mind every time I watch you fight!"
"I don't know if I would've called that fight amazing. She got way more hits on me than she should have," Neela told her as she picked up her suitcases once more and started towards the tower again. Sometimes she felt like Eliana gave her more credit than she was due.
"It was! You totally had her at the end there!" Eliana told her. Neela smiled at her friend's confidence in her and looked up at the top of the tower. "Crazy to think that this place was in complete ruins almost fifteen years ago. I wonder what that fight was like. I hear that there was a Dragon Grimm or something similar that had taken out the tower. I can only imagine what it must have been like to fight that thing."
"Yeah, Blake says that it dripped some kind of slime or blood or something and that more Grimm spawned from it," Neela told her. Eliana looked at her in disbelief.
"No way!" Eliana exclaimed. Neela laughed.
"I'm serious! You can ask her the next time we see her," Neela said.
"Who finished it off anyway?" Eliana pried.
"Yang says that they all finished it off together, but I don't know who landed the killing blow. I'm guessing it was my 'amazing' Aunt Ruby," Neela laughed. She turned to smile at Eliana but noticed that she had lost her again and looked back to see her friend staring back at the cliffside. Eliana's eyes were fixed on something and Neela moved towards her.
"Is that your aunt?" Eliana asked. "Why else would there be an Atlesian Warship here?" Neela shrugged as she squinted into the distance.
"I don't know, but we really need to go check in." Eliana turned back towards Neela and nodded.
"Right!"
The students begin to arrive at the school and it would seem that we already have threats to Neela's assumed claim to the top spot. Next week, the arrival of Titus and Ilia in Chapter 4 - The Militant and The Runaway!
