Heya guys. A little later than I wanted to be with this chapter considering how small it is, but I managed. Anyways here is the pool party.

The water was quietly swishing along in the pool. It was a large sized pool complete with two diving boards and a high board standing thirty feet above the five meter water compared to rest of the pool which stayed a consistent four feet in depth. In the front of it, the guys excluding Izuku were already out in their swim trunks. Another one of them, however, wasn't there. "Hey Sun?" His friend Kirishima asked. He was wearing steel red trunks

His Monkey Faunus friend laughed. "If you're wondering where Neptune is, he ran the second all of you looked away. I even tried making him come by saying he'd see a bunch of nice girls in their swimsuits and not even that got him to come." He continued to laugh at that detail. He were wearing banana printed swim trunks.

"What is with him? Chicken shit afraid of the water or something." Bakugo asked in his black with red explosions swimming suit.

"Yes actually he is." Sun said.

Shouto had a quizzical look on his face. "His name is literally the same as one of Mistral's religions God of the Oceans and seas, yet he is afraid of five feet of water." He was wearing white trunks with blue ice motifs crawling up the sides.

Tenya was wearing white as well but it had silver lightning streaks along the sides he also had a large amount of sunscreen on his nose which opened him up to pure based mocking. Ren was wearing green with his symbol in violet on the sides, and Jaune was wearing gold with black outlines. He was tapping his foot a bit impatiently. "What's taking them so long?"

Tenya raised his hand in Jaune's direction. "These things take time Jaune. A woman's body is very different compared to a man's."

That didn't make Jaune any better. "Yeah but come on. How long does it take to put on a swimsuit?"

They heard someone clearing their throat behind them. The guys turned to the changing rooms and saw Mina in a blue bathrobe next to the door. She pulled out her scroll and tapped a few buttons before holding up to her mouth like a microphone. "Gentleman, teammates, and Explosion Boy over there."

"I'll see you put in the ground Raccoon eyes." Bakugo growled.

"Hold your noses and try not to bleed out of them and into the poll, because we've got some of Beacon's finest looking females just waiting to show off some skin behind this door." Mina spoke like a natural born showman. "Coming out first we have our youngest and most hyper leader of our fellowship of teams, Ruby Rose."

Ruby walked out from the door with an flush on her face from Mina's insistence that she do this with the others, she was wearing a black one-piece swimsuit with red roses covering it, her pale complexion radiating in the high time sunlight.

"Next one is just as likely to freeze over this pool as she is to freeze over hordes of Grimm, The Ice Queen herself, Weiss Schnee."

"I told you not to call me that!" Weiss huffed as she walked out, she was wearing a two-piece with a white top and blue bottom. Tenya was behind the other boys so no one really noticed his slight blush at the sight of his childhood friend.

Mina sent a pointed look towards Sun. "Keep your banana down monkey boy, this kitty is a scratcher, Blake Belladona." Blake walked out wearing the same swimsuit as Ruby but in black and purple with the top of her chest being a bit see through. Sun was definitely enjoying this view and was having a hard time following Mina's advice.

"She's blonde, she's busty, she's fiery, and she can hand your ass to you in who knows how different ways if you try anything on her little sister, what more could you want, Yang Xiao Long everybody." Yang was actually taking this in compared to her teammates and was actively posing as she walked around. She was sporting a bright orange two-piece bikini that showed off her body. The top, of course, was strapless as it wrapped around her breasts. Bakugo's cheeks burned ever so slightly. This however was caught on by Mina. "And just like the cafeteria she managed to make Mr. Explodey all blushy again." She cheered.

"I. Don't. Blu-(gurgle)." Whatever he said next was drowned out by him shoving his head in the water. Everyone just laughed hard at the sight.

"We're sorry we took a bit longer than usual for the next team but they wanted to take their time." Mina went.

"Mina my horn buddy, I know you like doing all this, but can you please pick up the pace we really are in the mood for the water right now." Kirishima begged.

She did not look amused at her friends request and she grinned mischeviously at how to punish him. "Okay then Eiji, I myself will speed things up." She undid her robe and tossed it aside, she was now wearing a turquoise two piece swimsuit. Her top was strapless as well. Mina was internally cheering at the fact she could still make him blush so much.

"Now as we were saying, she is a world class fighter, but here she might as well be a world class swimsuit model, Pyrrha Nikos." Pyrrha was wearing a two-piece red swimsuit with yellow highlights. "And her mighty hammer of a teammate, Nora Valkyrie." Nora followed after Pyrrha and was wearing a one-piece that was pink and white. It certainly caught Ren's eye.

Nora raised her arm up and cheered. "Alright! Let's have some wet and wild fun!"

Mina raised a hand for silence. "We will in a sec after our last two home girls come out. Starting with the one who is literally built in both senses for a day like today, Tsuyu Asui."

"I guess it's my turn." Everyone turned to see Tsuyu coming out. Her swimsuit was a bit different. It was a one piece as well but it looked like something for a school swim team. The suit it self was horizontally striped in black and green. She tied her hair up higher than before so it wouldn't get in her way while swimming.

Mina couldn't help but wolf whistle at her friend. "Looking good Tsuyu."

Her friend smiled at the compliment. "Thanks, Mina." She looked over at the changing room entrance. "Come on Ochako! Don't keep us waiting."

No response for a few seconds. Finally, Ochako peeked out from behind the doorway. "O-Okay." She finally exited out of the doorway and showed what she was wearing. "So uh…how do I look?" She was in a pink and black two-piece swimsuit with frills on the sides

Yang, of course, had to make her obvious comment. "Now that I think about it, you're pretty big Ochako."

Ochako yelped as she wrapped her arms around her breasts. "Please don't say things like that."

The blonde's sister pouted at her own breasts with a cloud of depression over her head. "Yea Yang, please don't."

Yang turned from the two back to the boys and she was liking what she was seeing. Each of them were ripped with lean muscle that sprouted all over their bodies. "So you all liking the view." They all blushed at her words and Bakugo's head was still underwater.

Ochako couldn't help but look for Izuku to see how he reacted to her, yet she didn't see him. "Where's Deku?"

Bakugo finally pulled his head from the water at the word Deku. "Damn nerd is taking forever to get out here. Probably chickened out at seeing a bunch of girls flaunting their skin. Probably would have smelled like wet dog too." He would have continued with more insults if they hadn't heard a voice from behind.

"Everyone, sorry for making you wait." Izuku ran out of the men's changing room with a pair of trunks that were the same brand as Tenya's trunks, only difference is they were black with green lightning.

Ochako blushed immediately at what she saw. Izuku's clothes did a real good job at covering up his body. His broadened pecks, his strong legs, his chiseled abs, they were all to much to take and thin line of blood came from her nose. A tongue came out and licked off the blood. She turned to see Tsuyu spitting the blood into a nearby bush before giving her the thumbs up. She was grateful that she did that before Mina found out and teased her on it.

Speaking of the Cheshire devil, she clapped her hands and everyone turned to her. "Alright people, we're here for one thing and one thing only. To have fun at the pool! So, go right on in!"

"Yeah!" Ruby, Yang, and Nora were the first to jump into the pool with a splash. Mina jumped in right after them.

All three came up and were enjoying the water. The young leader laughed as she looked at the boys. "Come on in guys! The water is great!"

Kirishima happily obliged and ran straight for the water. "Cannonball!" He jumped into the air and made a large splash into the pool. The water hit Blake who made her a bit uncomfortable. The Faunus redhead came up from the water and shook his head. "That was manly."

"Okay then." Izuku was the next to jump into the pool although not as enthusiastic as Kirishima. He came up as well and enjoyed the feeling of being in the water. "It feels good."

"Deku, you're not the only one enjoying the water." Bakugo leapt backward into the water.

Nora turned to her partner. "Come on Ren! Don't be such a stick!"

Ren just sighed. "Might as well." He jumped into the pool as well.

With everyone getting in, Jaune couldn't help but feel left out. He looked at the heiress. "So Weiss, want to take a dip with me?"

She just turned away from him. "As if. I'm fine as is."

Jaune lowered his head as he was rejected once again. Luckily for him, Pyrrha was there to help him out. "I'd like to take up that offer."

Her leader just sighed. "I guess." They both jumped into the pool together.

Shouto just chuckled at the sight. 'Jaune, please tell me you are no that dense.'

Blake, on the other hand, decided to sit on the edge of the pool with her legs in the water and was reading a book. Yang looked over to her friend. "You're not going to join in Blake?"

The Faunus girl just shook her head. "I'm fine. Thank you, Yang." Being a cat Faunus, she really wasn't fond of water. That and no offense to Izuku but he actually did slightly smell like wet dog with his soaked wolf ears.

Sun took this as a chance to sit down next to her. "Mind if I join you?"

The other Faunus shook her head. "Not at all."

Tenya sat down as well with a book and a reapplied a large amount of sunscreen on his nose.

Ochako still hadn't jumped in and was standing there a little nervous. "Ochako?" She turned to Izuku. "Are you okay?"

Ochako turned away slightly. "Yea I'm fine."

The Faunus pinkette looked over at her.. "Then come join us in the water. It feels great."

Ochako just looked at the water hesitating. "Ochako are you afra-?"

"I'm not! It's just," She pressed her index fingers together. "I'm not... a very good swimmer."

She just looked way again. Izuku stood up out of the water and walked over to her. "Ochako if you want I can swim with you. Maybe teach you a little too. I am a pretty good swimmer. Or if you don't then you don't have to. You can still enjoy yourself without being in the pool, okay?"

His friend just sighed. "Yeah, Thanks Deku." She was averting her eyes in embarrassment from revealing such a secret to them.

While everyone was enjoying the romance between the two, Tenya looked around the pool. "Where is Tsuyu?"

Nora was the first to notice and pointed to where the girl was. "There she is!" Everyone saw Tsuyu on the high dive board.

Already Ochako forgot her earlier embarrassment and was cheering her friend on. "Alright Tsuyu! You got this!"

Tsuyu walked on the board and jumped on it a few times before springing another twenty feet into the air. She did a series of midair maneuvers before diving into the water with a minimalistic splash. She then quickly rose up out of the water and heard some applause. Pyrrha and the others enjoyed the display. "That was quite good Tsuyu."

The other girl swam over to the group smiling. "Thank you. I quite enjoyed it as well. Ribbit."

While the girls were playing around, Mina had another idea. "Hey! Since we're all here, why not have a chicken fight!?"

Already they were confused by her suggestion. Jaune was almost afraid to ask. "What are you talking about this time?"

She just smiled. "Duh. I mean we each pick a partner, have them sit on the other's shoulders, and then they fight! How you win is that you have to knock the person on top into the water. Last one standing wins!"

Already her friend loved the idea. "Sounds awesome. We're taking you all on." He looked over at his friend. "You game Bakubro? It'd be bad if Izuku won with you watching."

The boy just smiled evily. "Now were talking. Get over here, you're my horse."

Bakugo went over to the Faunus and climbed on his shoulders. Yang looked over to her friend. "Hey Blake, how about it? Want to join?"

The Faunus girl just turned a page. "No thank you."

Tsuyu got out of the water and sat by the other two faunas. "I'm not in either. Ribbit."

The blonde whined a bit at the answer. Mina decided to help her out. "I will join you Yang and we will be victorius."

That of course, picked Yang back right up. "Alright then. I'll take up that offer." The pink haired swam over to where Yang was. She picked her up with her strength she been growing for years and put her on her back and sat on her shoulders. Both girls looked over at the boys. "Hope you're ready, because we're going to take you down."

Nora waved over to her partner. "Oh Ren…"

Ren just closed his eyes and sighed. "If I must." He really couldn't refuse his friend. Nora went over to him and climbed up to sit on his shoulders.

She pointed at the other two groups. "Let's take them down!" Ren just sighed again.

Jaune looked over to his partner. "What do you say Pyrrha? Want to team up with me?"

"I would like to join you if you like." Pyrrha really wished her leader would get the memo already but this would do for now. She climbed on Jaune's back and sat his shoulders. He groaned a bit by the added weight.

Pyrrha noticed his struggle. "Are you okay?"

Her leader just smiled painfully. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

'If living with my sisters has taught me anything, never say that a girl is heavy.' He thought.

Izuku wanted to join in as well. "Come on Ochako! It'll be fun! I'll keep you above the water I promise."

Ochako wanted to have some fun today so she accepted. "Okay let's do it Deku."

Izuku got in the water first and stayed close to the wall for Ochako, she slowly got on and tightened her legs grip. Izuku just fully realized one of Ochako's most private of places was touching the back of his head and he turned redder than Kirishima's hair.

Ruby wanted to join in as well. "Come on Weiss! It'll be fun!"

The heiress looked away from her leader as she closed her eyes. "I refuse to play such a childish game."

Sometimes Weiss' attitude could bother the young leader so much. She looked over at one of the last males left. "Shouto please." She begged with her signature puppy eyes.

If there was one thing he couldn't stand it was a woman begging. You can thank his father for that. "Ha. Fine."

Hearing that put a smile on the younger girl's face. "Really? You're the best Shouto!"

Weiss slightly growled as she saw Ruby sitting on top of the boys shoulders. That was something she couldn't abide. If Ruby won and she just watched, that would be like her admitting defeat and that Ruby was better than her. "Tenya!" She pointed at the said man. He raised his head from his book in surprise. "Team up, now!"

"Wait, what?" And in the next few moments, he was pulled into the water and in the next few Weiss was sitting on top of his shoulders.

Yang couldn't help but laugh at the heired team. "Wow. Take a load of this scene right here. What's the matter Weiss? I thought you didn't want to play this childish game."

The heiress glared at the brawler. "I changed my mind okay!"

The players were set and they were all ready to go. Mina grinned at the playing field. "Now that we're paired up, let the games… Start!"

The pair of Nora and Ren set their sights on Weiss and Tenya first. The two girls locked their hands together and struggled against each other trying to push the other girl off. "So you're coming after us first huh?" Weiss asked.

Nora grinned wickedly. "You're going down!" While they were duking it out, Tenya and Ren were struggling to keep their partners balanced with Tenya being taller than all of them.

Bakugo had already had his sights on Izuku's team but Ruby and Shouto reached them first. They two girls grabbed each other's hands and struggled. "I'm going to win!"

Ochako thought otherwise. "We'll see about that."

The last was Yang and Mina coming over to Pyrrha and Jaune. The two girls battled it out. The blonde smiled at their battle. "I'll have you know, I'm pretty good at this." She wasn't kidding. Already Pyrrha was feeling how strong the other girl was. Jaune struggled to keep up.

"What the hell, everyone else is fighting except us!" Bakugo yelled.

"Relax man. We're going to fight someone soon." Kirishima sweat dropped from below at his partners battle lust.

The three groups were at a standstill for a short bit until there was an upset. Ochako's grip tightened and she threw the young leader off Shouto and into the water. "Ochako one! Ruby zero!" Ochako cheered with her hands in the air.

"Push now!" That was Tenya's cue and moved forward while the heiress pushed forward with all of her strength. Nora was suddenly overwhelmed and was pushed off from Ren. She screamed and went into the water. The heiress turned to the first victors of the game. "Go now!"

Over to Yang and Pyrrha, the blonde just smiled and tightened her grip. She used all of her strength to pick the redhead up and throw her over her head and into the water behind her. She smiled at her win. "Winner, me."

Mina smiled as well. "Nice one Yang." She eyed their boys. "And they're next."

"Pyrrha!" Jaune went over to where she was sent and Pyrrha came up. "You alright?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." She coughed a few times but other than that she was alright.

Weiss reached over to Ochako and they started the second round. Ochako narrowed her choclate eyes at the other girl. In a swift motion she took her hands from the girls arms to the girls wrists. "Deku pull to the right now!." Izuku eyes went determined as he stepped to the side and Ochako pulled the heiress toward her. Weiss fell forward and fell into the water.

The chocolate eyed girl laughed. "Looks like a win for us." Tenya helped Weiss out of the water.

"Finally they're open now get them." Bakugo kept bonking Kirishima on the head. "We're going to be the undisputed champions now."

"Looks like you'll fight us first." The two looked over to Mina and Yang. "Shall we see who the best here is?"

Yang smiled at her teammate. "Let's go Mina."

Her horse smiled. "I'm on it. No hard feelings after this, right Eiji?"

Kirishima smiled back at his horn buddy. "Not at all. Let's do this!" The pairs went up to each other and locked hands to each other. The two blondes were evenly matched for the time being. Neither of them was letting up.

Bakugo was enjoying the battle. "I'm winning this Goldie."

Yang smiled at the words. "There's no way I'm losing Explodokill boy." Lighting came out of their eyes and struck each other.

The two sides continued to duke it out without budging an inch. The two tightened their grip for just a second and yanked each other as hard they could pulling back. Unfortunely, that also pushed their hips forward and knocked the two horned faunas' heads together. The two lost their grip on the riders and they both fell off. The two got back out of the water and they looked quite displeased that neither of them won.

Tsuyu who was watching the whole thing decided to chime in. "Yang and Bakugo are in the water. By numbers of takedowns and being the last ones standing, the winners are Izuku and Ochako."

"We did it." Ochako cheered. She leapt of Izuku's shoulders and hugged him tight. "We did it Deku, we did it!" She repeated rubbing her cheek against his reddened one.

"Aw and we tried so hard too." Mina sulked.

"Hey at least we got to the end of it all." Yang said.

"How do you think he feels about it." Kirishima pointed over his shoulder at the ashen blonde. He was throwing a slue of curses and blowing up the water around him with his hands.

Mina laughed at that. "I suppose so. However, we won't lose next time around." She looked at everyone else smiled. "Well, that was fun but it we can't stop here just yet. We still have the rest of the day to enjoy!" That was something everyone could agree on. They spent the rest of their day playing around and having more fun.

-Nighttime-Unknown Warehouse-

Mercury and Emerald walked into a warehouse as White Fang members unloaded boxes of Dust from the Bullheads inside. The two walked to the back to Roman who was standing infront of a map.

"Oh, look, she sent the kids again." He walked over and wrapped his arms around the two. "This is just like the divorce."

The two shuddered before they pushed his arms off. "Thank you for the nightmares of you procreating." Emerald grumbled.

"That was a joke." He said as he walked away. "And this..." He held up a piece of paper between his fingers before spinning around. "Just might tell me where you two have been all day."

"Wait, how did you...?" Emerald asked as she searched her pockets.

"I'm a professional sweetheart. Pay attention, you might learn something." Roman bragged before looking at the paper. Immediately he features darkened at what he read. "Why do you two have this address?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald asked as Roman walked over.

"Yeah, I would." He said. "Now, where have you been all day?"

"Cleaning up your messes." Mercury said back. "One of them at least."

"I had that under control." Roman growled out.

"Two bags packed and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise." Mercury said back.

"Listen to me, you little punk." Roman pointed his cane at the boy. "If it were up to me, I would take you and that street rat you call a friend here, and I would-"

"Do what, Roman?" A woman asked as the criminal looked up as a lift lowered to his ground level. The newcomer had ashen-black hair and bright amber eyes, while her fingernails are painted dark red. She wears a dark-red, off-the-shoulders, v-neck mini dress with yellow designs. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip, at the top of an open portion of her dress. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees. There is a baseball diamond-shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her chest. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. She wears black shorts underneath her dress, as well as a black choker on her neck. She wears a gold loop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear. She has dark, glass, high-heeled shoes and a jeweled anklet on her right leg. On her upper back, in the keyhole of her dress, she has a black tattoo of what appears to be a pair of high heel shoes placed sole to sole, forming a heart shape inside. It was clear that she was the real leader here.

"I'd... not kill them..." He chuckled nervously at her approach.

"Cinder." Emerald called out as the new woman walked forward.

"I thought I made it clear that you were to eliminate the would be runaway?" Cinder asked Roman.

"I was going to..." Roman started to defend himself.

"He was going to escape to Vacuo." Emerald interrupted. "Mercury and I took it upon ourselves to kill the rat."

"I'm pretty sure he was a cat." Mercury said.

"What, you mean like a puma or something?" Emerald asked amused.

"Bingo." Mercury nodded.

"Quiet." Cinder said to the two. "I thought I ordered you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?"

"I just thought..." Emerald rubbed her head.

"Don't think. Obey." Cinder said. Roman mocked the two with a finger to the throat gesture.

"Yes, ma'am." Emerald nodded looking crestfallen at upsetting her leader. "It won't happen again."

"And you..." The woman turned to Roman, making him nervous again. "Why wasn't this job done sooner?"

"Uh... Ehh?" He motioned to the crates to his right. "Ehh?" He motioned to the boxes to his left. "EHHH?" He motioned to the massive crates behind him and all the rest of the dust in the warehouse. "Oh, I'm sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom!"

"What a motivation for every punk with a gun and a ski mask." Mercury said, making Emerald laugh.

"Open your eyes, kid." Roman said back. "This town is in the palm of my hands. Police are camping out at every corner; Dust prices are sky high, and we're sitting pretty in a warehouse full of more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with." He turned around to the three. "Speaking of that, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on this grand master plan you have, it might make my next string of robberies go a little smother."

"Oh, Roman, have a little faith." Cinder said as she walked over, her heels clicking with every step. "You'll know what you need when you need to know it." She smiled before turning around. "Besides, we're done with Dust."

"Okay, then what now?" He asked.

"We're moving." She responded. "Have the White Fang clean out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight."

"Coordinates?" He asked, making her look over her shoulder.

"We're moving on to phase two. And if I'm correct you'll be getting some business partners soon enough." She explained. Mercury and Emerald walked away as Roman pulled out a cigar and put it in his mouth. He felt around for his lighter but wasn't finding it. He heard a click and he looked up at Emerald holding it. She smirked before closing the lighter.

And that is the pool chapter along with Cinder's real introduction. Sorry this took a while. I hope you enjoyed. Please leave reviews, follow, favorite, or flames, really what ever tickles your fancy.
