[Yo-kai Watch/We Bare Bears]
The first thing Charlie became aware of when he Woke up was; that he seemed to be in the middle of a town…
The second thing? That there were people, everywhere…
In a panic, Charlie quickly began looking around for any route of escape, but there was none, there were too many people! The mysterious creature huddled up and closed his eyes, dreading the camera flashes that would inevitably come…
"… Huh?" Charlie opened an eye in confusion; no cameras were flashing… in fact, none of the people appeared to have even noticed him… "Um… hello?" curiosity taking over fear, the Looper waved his hand in front of a man's face. "Hey, sir? Hi?" the man showed no reaction, just continuing to read his newspaper. "Nobody can see me…?"
A surge of memories suddenly pulsed through Charlie's head, he shook a bit as he processed them. The bears had mentioned something about 'Loop memories' before, though he still wasn't sure how it worked. But once the memories became clear, the shy creature couldn't help but grin.
"I'm an invisible spirit?" he looked around some more, his grin widening as he walked about the town, none of the humans reacting to his presence at all. "Wowie! This is great, I'm a ghost, nobody can see me!" he passed by a well-dressed man, before pretending to take an invisible hat off and giving a bow.
"Good day sir," he chuckled a bit, before waving to a woman. "Morning ma'am!" he kept giving greetings to random people as he made his way through the town, he stopped at the wall of what looked to be a burger place, before sticking his arm right through the wall. "Woo! And I can walk through walls!"
Sneaking in through the back, Charlie grabbed a hold of one of the burgers sitting on the counter… but quickly reconsidered, placing it back down. "No, no Charlie, just because you're invisible, doesn't mean you can go stealing stuff!" he told himself firmly. "I'll come back once I have some money… somehow… wait a minute!"
Charlie reached into his sub-space pocket, and pulled out a ten-dollar bill.
"I knew keeping this was a good idea!" glancing around briefly, Charlie suddenly felt a bit strange with how no one reacted to him. "… Wow, have I always talked to myself this much?"
Charlie was now marching through town, munching on the burger he had (over)paid for.
"Invisible in a town, what to do…" he pondered, finishing the burger. "… This would be funner if the bears, or Chloe were around…" he spotted a brown-haired boy walking by, with a hairstyle that he couldn't help but comment on. "Wow, that kid's hair looks like a cockatoo's!" he mentally told himself that was rude, but he shook it off. It just slipped out, and it wasn't like the kid could hear him…
"Excuse me," a young boy's voice interrupted his thoughts, before he looked and saw the 'cockatoo-hair-kid' glaring at him. "That's rude."
"… Wait a minute, you can see me!?"
"Okay, so you can see these 'yo-guys' with your watch… thingy?" Charlie questioned the local Anchor, whom looked at him tiredly.
"First of all; 'yo-kai,' or spirits if you'd rather. And yes, I use the yo-kai watch that my grandfather invented. Though I no longer really need the watch to see yo-kai, it does have other uses," Nate explained plainly. "Also, my hair doesn't look like a cockatoo's…"
"It actually sort of does," Whisper interjected, the Anchor just glared at him.
"Er, I am sorry about that. I didn't think you could hear me, but that's no excuse for being rude," Charlie looked a little embarrassed as he rubbed his head. Nate sighed and nodded.
"It's fine, it's not the first time I've been insulted by a yo-kai whom thought I couldn't hear them," Nate stated calmly.
"Um… okay… so, anybody else who can see me that I should know about?" Charlie asked, wanting to change the subject. Nate thought for a moment before answering.
"Well, I assume you don't mean other yo-kai. So, the list is pretty short. My friends Katie and Inaho can see yo-kai through the same logic that I can, they used to need yo-kai watches, but now they don't," Nate smiled a bit as he thought about his friends. "You don't really need to worry about them, Katie's way too nice to want to cause you any discomfort. And, while Inaho can be a pain at times, she's mostly harmless…" Charlie seemed to relax a little a bit more, after being told how few people there actually were whom could see him.
"Well, if it's just two other kids, I don't see it being a problem. Plus, they're Loopers so they probably wouldn't care too much about me," the sasquatch chuckled, Nate nodded.
"I'm here too, you know," Whisper pointed out. Charlie turned to look at the ghost butler, and scratched his head.
"Um… a floating marshmallow?" a tick-mark formed on Whisper's head, Nate held in a laugh.
"I'm a ghost! Why do people keep comparing me to food!? I'm a simple ghost, it's not that hard a concept to grasp!"
"That's what you get, for saying my hair looked like a cockatoo's," Nate smirked, before turning his attention back to the confused visitor. "But he is right, there are a few other Looping yo-kai. Also, my grandpa, he dies before Baseline starts, so he's usually a yo-kai. But, sometimes he Wakes up early and manages to live longer, though this time he's a yo-kai," Nate seemed to think again. "There are also a few other people whom can see yo-kai, but they're pretty much exclusive to the game-variant. They sometimes live in the town in Baseline runs, but it's pretty Loop-variable," at this statement, Whisper snapped out of his rage and looked to his friend/master with confusion.
"That reminds me, did we check if Lucas could see yo-kai this Loop?"
"You know what, I don't think we did. We'll need to do that, I mean, he usually can't in Baseline runs, but it never hurts to check…"
"Yes, I mean, his fluctuating importance between a background character, and a key one with Baseline and the game-variant makes it rather tricky if we should pay attention to him or not…"
"Yeah, but you know, it's sometimes just nice to talk to my other classmates, even if they don't have much going on in Baseline…"
"… Um, guys?" Whisper and Nate both looked to Charlie, who looked completely clueless about their conversation, they both sweatdropped. "Gah!? What are those things on your heads!?"
"… You haven't had very many Loops outside of your home, have you?" Nate muttered, Charlie snapped out of whatever shock he had at seeing the sweatdrops and smiled.
"Nope! I'm still pretty new to this, though the bears gave me a pretty good explanation for what to expect."
"… There's no way to explain what to expect," Nate said blankly. The three stared at each other for a moment, before Nate coughed. "So, uh… want to go meet my other Looping friends?" Charlie nodded and gave a thumbs-up.
"Sure, sounds like a plan!"

[Yo-kai Watch/Animal Crossing]
"Look! A birdwing butterfly!" Keita exclaimed to his companion.
"That one's mine!"
"No, I saw it first!" Keita and Fumika smirked at each other competitively, their bug-nets ready, before charging forward after the rare insect. They crashed into each other, allowing the bug to flutter away, but the two just laughed it off before charging after other bugs they saw. Isabelle stood nearby, watching the two visiting Loopers with some interest.
"… Those two do realize that the bug catching contest is over, right" Nat asked as he came by, his supplies packed up. "They didn't even submit any entries…" Isabelle gave the chameleon a good-natured smile.
"Somehow, I don't think they care…" the yellow dog chuckled as she watched the two kids pouncing after other insects with their bug-nets. Nat shrugged before continuing his way out of town.
"Got a mantis!" Keita cheered, Fumi stuck her tongue out at him before smirking smugly.
"Oh yeah? Well I got a stag beetle!"
"What kind of stag beetle?"
"A saw stag!" the girl gloated, holding up the beetle. Keita didn't look impressed.
"That's not that great…"
"Better than a mantis!"
"Oh yeah? Well I'm just getting started! Watch me catch a Horned Hercules before the day ends!"
"Oh really? Well I'll be showing off a shiny, golden stag before the day ends!" Keita and Fumika stared at each other fiercely, but through their competitive glares, a couple of friendly grins broke out and the two laughed a little.
"LET'S GO!" they both exclaimed in unison, holding their nets up, before charging off again. Isabelle just shook her head happily before turning to return to the town hall.
7.3
"Get out of here, Snottle!"
"Don't want to, I like it here," The nose-picking yo-kai stated plainly at the Anchor whom was staring him down, both standing in front of Springdale Central Station. "Come on, kid. Let's dig for gold!"
"Nope, I'm no longer affected by your annoying inspirit," Nate huffed, crossing his arms.
"Oh, come on kid! It feels great, just relax," Snottle increased his power, Nate did feel the pull to stick his fingers up his nose, but with a grunt, he kept resisting.
"I am not doing that, leave me be!" he hissed angrily, the two stared at each other, Snottle keeping his fingers in his nose, and Nate refusing to move his from their crossed position. A sudden explosion caused them both to look surprised.
"Oh my swirls! I don't know how to handle this power!" Komasan cried out, running through the streets, a blue aura around his body. "Somebody stop this crazy thing!"
"Wait up, bro!" Komajiro huffed tiredly, chasing after his super-powered brother, whom kept, uncontrollably, rocketing through the city, causing more explosions and panic.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with this!" Jibanyan ran after the two, a similar aura to Komasan's surrounded his body, but his was orange. "I've got this!" another explosion was heard.
Nate stared blankly for a moment, before realizing that he had lost his concentration, and his fingers were now in his nose.
"GAH!"
"Victory!" Snottle called out, running off into the distance, Nate growled as he pulled his fingers from his nostrils.
"I freaking hate that guy…"
7.4
[Yo-kai Watch/Pikmin]
Keita Woke up with a groan at the base of a crashed, and heavily damaged rocket. He looked around at the over-sized flora, before glancing down at his space-suited body. His suit was warning him about the deadly oxygen in the air…
"Pikmin? Don't think I've ever had one of those Loops," he moved to scratch his head, but he just ended up rubbing his helmet. He let out a Ping, but got no response. "… Well, I guess I should do this."
The stranded astronaut looked around the crash site, he spotted something in the ground that looked like a big, red, featureless cat head.
"… I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to look like that, but I'll just go with it," the Anchor muttered to himself. He approached the object, as he got close it suddenly seemed to spring to life, the red brightened as the cat head jumped out of the ground, now supported by three 'legs.' And a very familiar face formed on it…
"Hiya, Keita! Nya!" The Jibanyan-head-thing greeted cheerfully, along with a Ping, before glancing down at the seed that had popped out of his ear and planted itself into the ground. "Hmm, that's a thing… nya."
"Jibanyan, why are you the red pikmin onion?" Keita questioned blankly, before shaking his head and holding a hand up. "Wait, don't answer that. Yggdrasil does weird junk, got it."
"I suppose that would be it, I'm confused too, nya," Jibanyan stated, if he had shoulders, he would've shrugged. "So, how about you just pick that little sprout there, nya?"
"Fine, it's not like the prospect of dying really bothers me, but I might as well try to deal with this," the Anchor shrugged before moving towards the red sprout sticking out of the ground. "So, I'm guessing you weren't conscious until I activated you, or whatever it was that just happened…?"
"Well, I don't remember anything from before that in this Loop, so probably! Nya!" Keita gripped hold of the stem and pulled, with a pop a small creature came out of the ground.
Keita stared at the being that stared back at him; it looked like Jibanyan, except for the solid red body, stem sticking out of its head, and the lack of any facial-features beyond the pair of big eyes, and pointy nose.
"… Hey, Jibanyan?"
"Yeah, Keita? Nya…"
"Can you… control this thing?"
"Hmm, let me try…" the 'Piknyan' began flailing its arms around in a comical fashion, Keita held in a chuckle when it ended up slapping itself. "Ow! Yeah, it seems so. And I feel what it does! Nya!"
"Hmm… this gives me some ideas; do you think you could use your powers through it?" Keita questioned with an inquisitive look.
7.5 KaiserRichard
"Nate? Why are you summoning Duchoo at this time? Are you planning to play hooky to finish your game again?" Whisper asked his master about his choice.
"... Not exactly." Nate started to explain, "This one time, when I was in the Hub, one of my nicknames for my yo-kai form is 'blueberry'"
"And?"
"The tree had it's fun with me in the last Loop. It dropped me into Wonka's factory, as Violet."
"Ok, but what does this have to do about skipping school?"
"Katie was Charlie. And was Awake."
"Oh..."
"But wait," Jibanyan interrupted into the conversation "Can't she just visit you even if you're nyot sick? And even then, she knows about the whole Duchoo thing, you two swapped roles a few Loops back."
Nate blushed so hard that it looked like his face was a cherry. He buried his head into his pillow. "Remind me to tell Wonka to replace the dessert with a strawberry tart next time I see him"
Katie, who was waiting outside for Nate, shouted, "Hey Mr. Average Blueberry Boy~!"
7.6
"So… apparently I have… kids?" Keita spoke with a blank expression, Whisper, who was dusting, immediately dropped what he was doing and stared at the boy in shock. Jibanyan's ears perked as he looked up, even Hikikōmori peeked out from the closet.
"… I'm sorry, Keita-kun, but; WHAT!? WISSU!" Whisper exclaimed in an outburst of confusion.
"He's talking about Hanahojin… nya," Jibanyan interjected, though he didn't seem to want to get into the conversation.
"That nose-picking guy!? Wissu, I repeat; WHAT!?"
"Actually, it's a lot of nose-picking yo-kai," Keita added. "But, that part of it is confusing, and Loop variable. It's the main one I'm most concerned about… and by main, I mean the one that has a concrete personality," the Anchor tried to explain, though the attempt just sort of fell flat with how Whisper was still reacting.
"I-I, What!? How!? Why!? Wissu!?" The ghost butler floated around the bedroom in a frantic manner as he tried to process what he had been told. Keita turned his focus to Jibanyan.
"I don't even know if 'kids' is the right word, but they were born from my boogers… as gross as that is to think about…" Keita muttered the last part of his sentence to himself. "But they did come from my body… and also, I'm a little freaked out by the fact that someone's booger of all things could become a yo-kai!"
"I don't pretend to understand all the details of this yo-kai world I was born-er-killed into, I just go with it," Jibanyan sighed tiredly. "If an abandoned hat, an upturned umbrella, and an abused cloth can become yo-kai, why nyot a booger-nya?"
"So basically, don't ever stop using, misuse, break, or throw away any item, nor should you release any bodily excretions, less you create yo-kai that will come after you for vengeance… or at least annoy you?" Keita questioned, crossing his arms with a dumbfounded expression.
"Yes, nya."
"… That's just dumb."
"Also yes, nya." Jibanyan nodded, Keita groaned. "… So, what are you going to do about it, nyow that you knyow?"
"I don't know… talk to them I guess?" Keita sighed with a confused expression. "The nose-picking thing has always been annoying, but now that I know why they were doing it, I can't really stay mad at them… though I'd still like to put a stop to the nose-picking, talking seems like the best way to do that… But, do I tell them to stop as a friend, or a father or what? How do I handle this?" the Anchor clutched his head. "Arg! I don't know what to do! I'm too young to be a dad!"
"… Aren't you like, several-millions of years old? Nya."
"I-I don't know! Probably! I stopped keeping track after the first few hundred!" Keita shook his head and let out a deep breath. "Just… give me some time, I'll figure out what to do…"
"Okay…" Jibanyan sat his head back down, his ears still twitching a little. "… Also, Keita?"
"Yeah?"
"Sorry… my UnAwake-self attacked your UnAwake-self instead of explaining the details to you…"
"Oh, don't worry about that. Ignorant of the situation or not, UnAwake me was being a jerk," Keita shrugged, the two looked at each other again, before breaking out into a few friendly chuckles. Whisper hadn't heard most of their conversation, as he was still floating around the room, trying to process what he had been told.
"Just, what!? How the!? Eleven years old! Kids!? Hanahojin!? Boogers!? How!? Why!? WISSU!?" Hikikōmori let out a little laugh as she watched Whisper's antics, before closing the closet door.
7.7
"No offense Nate, but you never really struck me as the type of guy to hold a séance," Lina commented as she sat in a circle with Zoey, Katie, Eddie, Bear, and the one whom invited them all to his house for this; Nate.
"There's a lot of things I do that I wouldn't seem like the type of guy to do," The Anchor commented coolly, Katie chuckled a little while Eddie and Bear exchanged confused looks.
"And what kind of things would those be?" Zoey interjected with a mischievous smirk, Nate didn't respond as he grabbed hold of Katie and Lina's hands.
"Everyone join hands now, we need to do this seriously if we want the spirits to respond," Nate explained confidently, Katie linked hands with Eddie, whom linked hands with Bear, to Zoey, and back to Lina.
"Um, why are we doing this anyway?" Bear questioned.
"Yeah, there's no scientific evidence of ghosts existing. This seems like a waste of time," Eddie sighed with a bored look.
"Oh come on guys, where's your sense of adventure?" Katie laughed as the two boys looked at her with confusion.
"Besides, if you're going to be in the ghost club, this kind of thing is going to come up," Lina added with Zoey nodding in agreement.
"When did we agree to join the ghost club?" Eddie questioned blankly.
"When you agreed to come to this meeting, now shush!" Nate stated firmly, before closing his eyes and humming. "I'm going to call for the spirit of my grandfather…"
"Are you serious…" Eddie sighed.
"Shhhh!" Zoey snapped before returning to watching Nate with interest.
"… Hey, grandpa? It's me; Nate, can you hear me?"
"…"
"… Nothing's happening," Bear muttered with a somewhat disappointed look.
"I told you," Eddie sighed.
"Would you guys just be patient," Zoey hissed in annoyance, Lina and Kate nodded.
"I don't see why I should be patient for something that will amount to nothing," Eddie shook his head. "Sorry, Nate. I know your just trying to have fun, but I think this isn't– "
"Moxy…"
"… What was that?" Bear stiffened a bit.
"The spirits are calling…" Lina gave a mysterious smile.
"It was just the wind," Eddie countered firmly.
"Grandpa, is that you? Can you hear me?"
"Moxy!"
"That didn't sound like the wind to me," Bear shivered as he looked around the dark room nervously.
"That's because it wasn't," Katie chuckled with a smirk that Nate shared, Eddie still stood to his beliefs, but his resolve was starting to shake, Lina and Zoey were both extremely excited.
"Grandpa, I hear you! We hear you! Please, show yourself!" Nate opened his eyes as he called loudly.
"…"
"… See, I told you it was nothing," Eddie stated confidently. "Just the wind…"
"Y-yeah, just the– "Bear started to agree, when suddenly a puff of purple smoke burst in the middle of their circle. "GHA!"
"Da, da, da! Moxy!" a small, shadowy humanoid exclaimed, appearing from the smoke and striking a heroic pose.
"AAAHHH! GHOST!" Eddie and Bear both shouted in shock and fear, before they got up and ran straight out the front door.
"… Huh, that wasn't the welcome I was expecting," Moximous N commented with a confused look, Lina and Zoey both stared at him with amazed expressions, while Nate and Katie laughed.
7.8
Jinmenken groaned as he Woke up to find himself being arrested, always a frustrating experience…
"Okay, freak show. Let's get to the station," one of the officers said in a friendly, yet somewhat mocking tone as he held the car door open for the man-faced dog. Before Jinmenken could get into the car, the ground started shaking.
"… Earthquake?" the other officer questioned in concern.
"These feel like footsteps…" Jinmenken interjected, though he was, predictably, ignored.
"… What is that?" the first police officer asked in confusion as the shaking got worse.
"AO!" a loud roar suddenly interrupted any contemplation, and the two officers looked ahead in shock.
"What are those!?" the other asked in fear, at the large army of Aka and Ao Oni, rushing towards them. The ground shook even more erratically under the force of the many giant onis' stomping feet.
"AKA!" One of the red oni shouted, smashing its club into the police car, sending it flying. Without a second thought the two policemen screamed and ran away, leaving Jinmenken to the onis' mercy…
"Well… this Loop is starting off just swimmingly…" the yo-kai grumbled as Aka and Ao Oni surrounded him.
"AKA!"
"AO!"
"STOP!" a familiar, female voice shouted. The oni suddenly froze, lowering their clubs. Jinmenken watched in confusions as the red and blue oni stepped away to clear a path, for the appearance of an imposing Kuro Oni.
"Kuro…" the black oni growled as it stomped forward, that's when Jinmenken got a good look at the person riding on its head.
"Don't hurt him, he's a friend of mine…"
"… FUMIKA!?"
"I think she went this way," Keita said, at the head of a group consisting of himself, Whisper, Jibanyan, Inaho and USApyon.
"Aha! Excellent deduction, Watson! I was about to declare the same thing," Inaho said proudly, Keita glared at her.
"… Don't call me 'Watson.'"
"Can we just find that crazy girl before she does something we'll all regret? Dani…" USApyon groaned. "I honestly expected this kind of thing from Inaho-dani!"
"I would've done it, but she beat me to it!" Inaho huffed.
"Just follow the destruction so we can stop Fumi-chan! Wissu!" Whisper interjected frantically, Jibanyan yawned with a look of disinterest.
"You guys looking for Fumi-chan?" the group looked over and saw a disturbed Jinmenken approaching them. "Because I know where she went…"
"I'm the queen of the oni!" Fumika laughed from atop Kuro Oni's head, said oni roared from the roof of the school, as the other oni let out their own roars from the ground.
Keita, Whisper, Jibanyan, USApyon and Inaho watched with blank expressions, Jinmenken choosing to take his leave of this situation.
"My word, what has gotten into that girl? Wissu…" Whisper spoke with concern as Fumika let out a maniacal laugh.
"I bet it was boredom, nya," Jibanyan commented uncaringly.
"No fair, Fumika! If you were planning to go crazy you should've told me! I want in on this!" Inaho shouted, shaking a fist in the air. Keita and USApyon both sighed out of annoyance.
7.9 Boohoooo!
[Yo-kai Watch/We Bare Bears]
"... What?" Nate said blankly.
"It's true! Manjimutt got elected president!" Whisper cheered.
"I heard it was a landslide win, too." Hidabat added from the closet.
"Man! A yo-Kai president is good for us underrepresented creatures!" Jibanyan added.
As the three Yo-Kai continued to talk, Nate continued to stare blankly, unable to process this information.
Meanwhile, at the White House...
Manjimutt was doing a bunch of paperwork.
"This... isn't as great as I'd thought it'd be..." He mused.
"OW! PAPERCUT!" Grizz, Manjimutt's assistant, exclaimed from the other room, the bear also doing paperwork.
7.10
Nate glanced around the hallway of his school with caution.
'Of all the Loops to be pocket-locked…' the Anchor thought to himself with a grunt, he crept forward carefully, but before he made it to the end of the hall, several streams of toilet paper shot out from the girls' bathroom and wrapped around his arms and body.
"Oh, come on!"
"Going somewhere, Natey-kins," Toiletta peeked out of the bathroom, an eager grin on her face, Nate growled as he tried to pull the paper restraints from his body. "Why do you keep running, darling? Come on into my toilet, we can spend some... quality time together," the bathroom-inhabiting ghost giggled mischievously, Nate struggled even harder.
"Thank you for the offer, but I must politely refuse!" the Anchor exclaimed frantically, Toiletta floated over to his side and twirled his hair a little with one of her fingers. "Personal-space, please!"
"Why must you continue to deny our love, my dear? We are destined to be together forever, in my toilet," the female yo-kai grinned, Nate just stared blankly, seemingly having trouble processing the previous sentence…
"Unhand him…" a cold voice echoed through the hall, Nate and Toiletta both stiffened, before the frigid air started to seep into the hall, the walls starting to ice-over. Blizzaria floated overhead with a stern expression, "Honey, are you cheating on me?"
"… Would you accept 'we're not in a relationship' as an answer?" the look on the ice yo-kai's face gave Nate his answer. "Yeah, didn't think so…" he broke free from the now frozen paper, and quickly began sliding on the ice-covered floors.
"Hey! Get back here darling!" Toiletta cried out as she floated after him.
"He's not your 'darling!' He's my husband!" Blizzaria protested, also giving chase.
"I hate this, I hate this, I hate this!" Nate growled to himself as he kept sliding away from the pursuing female-spirits, he started running when he got to non-frozen ground once more and made a turn in the hall, only to stop before he ran into another yo-kai.
"Oh, hello there dear, fancy meeting you here," Insomni smiled playfully as she floated before the frazzled boy, he glanced back to see that Toiletta and Blizzaria were still approaching, before looking back at the third yo-kai blocking his path, his eye twitched…
"I HATE HAREM LOOPS!" Nate shouted as he jumped out the window and fell into the bushes, where he hid for the remainder of the Loop.

[Yo-kai Watch/RWBY]
"Um… Yang?" the UnAwake Weiss looked at her friend questioningly.
"Yeah, Weiss?" Yang grinned at her at the white-haired girl, it was a Chibi-Loop, and everything seemed normal (for a Chibi-Loop…), except for…
"Do you know there's a little boy in your hair…?" at this question, Yang looked up, at the same time Nate looked down. The two smiled and Nate snuggled further into his sister's hair.
"Oh, don't worry about him, he just does that," the blond Looper shrugged. "It makes him feel safe…"
"Safe…?"
"You know, from the ghosts?"
"Ghosts…?" Weiss felt very confused, Ruby walked into the room humming a happy tune.
"Hey Weiss, Hey Yang, Hey Nate!" she continued humming as she walked, before her eyes widened and she sped back over. "Wait a minute! Nate!? Yang, what's he doing here!?" Ruby exclaimed worriedly, Weiss glanced between the two sisters with a quizzical expression.
"Oh, he was getting too scared back home with dad, so he came to find his favorite nest, obviously," Yang explained with a confident smile, Ruby took a few steps back.
"Right… well…"
"Hi Ruby!" Nate waved with an innocent smile, the leader of team RWBY stiffly waved back as she edged out of the room.
"Yes… hi, Nate. Um, Weiss… could I talk to you… in the other room?"
"Um… sure…" Weiss kept glancing between Yang, who had her little brother resting in her hair, and Ruby, who kept motioning her to exit the room. She followed Ruby, who softly shut the door behind her.
"Okay! This is a code red! Or blue! I don't know which color? White? Ghosts are white…" Ruby muttered frantically as she paced, the W of RWBY patience was wearing thin…
"Ruby!" Weiss snapped, Ruby jumped a little and looked around.
"Shhh!" she hushed her partner, the red-clad girl subtly cracked the door open and peeked inside, she saw Yang happily humming as she sat on the bed, Nate peacefully sleeping in her hair. Ruby closed the door with a sigh of relief, "Be careful Weiss…"
"… What? I don't understand?"
"… Weiss, my brother can't get scared," Ruby stated in a serious tone, her partner kept her confused expression.
"Um, what? Ruby, he's a little boy, even if he's your and Yang's brother, I find it hard to believe that– "
"No! Weiss, you don't understand. My brother can't get scared!" Ruby insisted, her pupils shrinking a little. "Or, at least, we can't let him get scared…"
"… I'm not following you?"
"Did Yang mention the ghosts?"
"She said ghosts, I wasn't really sure what she meant…" Weiss scratched her head, Ruby kept pacing and muttered a few more things.
"Okay, here's how it is. When my brother gets scared, we all get scared with him. As in, this place will become a real-life haunted house!" the leader softly exclaimed, a scared expression on her face. "Or… haunted academy?" Ruby mumbled to herself in thought, Weiss glared.
"Ruby, you are still doing a terrible job of explaining. Stop being vague and just say what you mean!" this outburst was met by a red blur tackling her and her mouth being covered.
"No sudden noises!" Ruby hissed quietly, "If he gets scared, we're all in the ghost-house!"
"… I'm not following any of this," Weiss admitted after Ruby let go of her.
"Okay, look… my little brother has a power, or something… we don't know if it's his semblance, but he can't control it," Ruby explained calmly. "Whenever he gets scared, ghosts just… appear… and they haunt the area until he's not scared anymore…"
"… What?"
"Yeah, but so long as he stays in Yang's hair, he should be fine," Ruby nodded, letting out a sigh. "For some reason, he feels safe when he's in Yang's hair…"
"…"
"So, we just need to make sure nothing frightens him, or removes him from Yang's head, or else we'll be dealing with the poltergeists," Ruby nodded confidently, Weiss just kept staring blankly.
"… Now, when you say 'ghosts'…" Ruby let out a groan before her partner finished her question and shook her head.
"Fine! You know what? I'll show you," the leader quickly grabbed her white-haired friend by the wrist and led her back into their room, before she marched up to her sister and brother.
"Hey sis," Yang greeted.
"Hi Ruby," Nate smiled, Ruby gave no response, before emotionlessly grabbing Nate by his shirt, pulling him from Yang's head. "Huh? Huh… uh, AH!" the little brown-haired boy started shaking as the room grew dark, Weiss' eyes widened as Yang backed up.
"Ruby, why!?" the blond sister called out in fear, Ruby sighed, Nate cried. Weiss looked around the dark room as transparent, shadowy shapes started to form, there were voices, earie voices…
Then Ruby placed her distressed brother back on Yang's head, he visibly calmed down, and the darkness and shadows receded…
"… Don't take my brother off Yang's head, spread the word," Ruby stated calmly to the shaken Weiss. The white-haired huntress nodded numbly, before walking out of the room without another word.
"… Well, that was something," Nate commented after a moment, Yang and Ruby chuckled.
"How long do you think we can keep this prank going?" Yang asked with a mischievous smirk.
"I'm hoping the whole Loop," Nate laughed as he curled up in her hair.
"Yeah! Little brother-Big sister-prank Loop!" Ruby cheered, the three all laughed together.

"OK, What?!" Nate exclaimed.
"The Yo-Kai Watch gained sentience and got elected president." Whisper shrugged, just as confused.
Nate and Whisper continued to look at each other.
"... I'm gonna go lie down." Nate sighed, massaging his head. Whisper went to do the same.
Meanwhile, at the White House...
"Part one of your master plan has been accomplished, sir!" The Yo-kai Watch announced over a video call.
"Excellent." Evil Morty smirked.

[Yo-kai Watch/RWBY/Red Vs Blue]
It was another 'big family' Loop for the Rose-Xiao Long house, with all the siblings home and Awake, it was a rare and happy occurrence.
However, the youngest of the family did not seem very happy…
"Keita?" Yang looked at her little brother questioningly, he was sitting at the table, a depressed look on his face. "What's the matter?" their other siblings; Ruby, Cinder and Grif, along with their father; Taiyang, were all near but doing their own things. Keita's next words however, caught all of their attention.
"I'm a terrible father…"
"… I'm sorry, but what!?" Yang gaped at those words, the others looking over with some interest.
"Okay, what happened…" Grif sighed as he stepped over, "Did you get a time-skip Expansion?"
"… No," Keita shook his head, still sitting with a melancholy expression, "Normal Expansion, but it turns out that… well, you guys know that yo-kai; Hanahojin?"
"The nose-picking one? Yeah, why?" Ruby questioned, looking curious over where this conversation was going. Cinder had already seemed to have lost interest, while Taiyang was frozen in place with a shocked expression.
"Well… it turns out that he was originally a booger I picked from my nose before he became a yo-kai, making me sort-of his dad… and the other ones too…" Keita explained with a sigh.
"… Okay," Yang nodded, not sure what else to say here,
"So, I have a booger-nephew?" Ruby concluded, seeming a lot less shocked then her sister.
"Nephews, possibly nieces too… there's more than one, but other than the main one they're very Loop-variable…"
"Neat!"
"Isn't this family tree complicated enough!?" Cinder called from the other side of the room. Grif groaned, before grabbing hold of his younger brother's shoulder.
"Keita, absurd method of reproduction aside, why do you think you're a terrible father?" Keita looked away from the older boy.
"Well… I haven't exactly been the kindest to Hanahojin, I always just saw him as a nuisance when he would bug me in Baseline… I never understood that it was just his and the others' way of trying to get close to me…"
"Okay, and? Did your Baseline-self know about this yo-kai being your… 'son?'" Grif questioned, looking unsure if that was the appropriate term to use for this situation.
"Well… no…"
"Then, don't worry about it. You can't undo what your Baseline-self does, and how could he have ever been a decent father if he didn't even know he was one… and was also eleven?" Grif questioned plainly, Keita scratched his head in thought.
"I guess…"
"I'm still confused how exactly some nose-picking yo-kai is your son, and by extension, our nephew. But if that's the case I'm sure you can be a great dad if you put in the effort," Yang added, Ruby nodding in agreement. Keita let out a little sigh of relief at his siblings' comfort and smiled.
"Thanks guys…"
"… I'm a grandfather!?" Taiyang finally snapped out of his frozen-state, his various kids, Baseline or otherwise, all looked at him with blank expressions, before they all laughed a little. "… Seriously! I'm a grandfather? Nose-picking yo-kai!? I have many questions here!"

[Yo-kai Watch/RWBY]
"Come on, Sun! We've got a case!" Neptune announced, just as his partner Woke up and realized he was in a Chibi-Loop.
"Um, sure. Right behind you!" the monkey faunus smiled as he followed after the blue haired teen.
"There was a robbery down town! Let's go!" Neptune explained as they got into the car and drove off.
"Never fear! The Junior Detectives are on the case!" Neptune announced with enthusiasm, stepping out of the car with Sun calmly following. The old man whom seemed to run every shop was standing in front of the building, the window was broken and there was police tape covering the scene, "Never fear citizen! We'll catch those criminals; can you tell us what you saw?" the man opened his mouth to speak.
"Not so fast!" a young female voice interrupted them, the old man closed his mouth as Sun and Neptune looked to see an eleven-year-old girl, along with a strange little creature in a rabbit-themed space-suit walking over, Sun recognized them as Inaho and USApyon, Neptune was just confused, "We'll take it from here, USApyon, check for clues."
"I was going to do that anyway, stop trying to be in charge, dani," USApyon grumbled as he walked toward the scene, taking on a thoughtful posture.
"Wow! Hold on, you can't go over there!" Neptune protested, Inaho held up a hand.
"Ahem, sorry to interrupt your… 'investigation,' but this is our case. So, run along and do… whatever it is you do, USApyon and I have this covered," the purple-haired girl waved him off, leaving the young hunter dumbfounded.
"This was definitely the work of a yo-kai, dani," USApyon nodded as he stepped back over to Inaho, "The old man says he didn't see anything, and all that were stolen were a bunch of exporbs! Dani!"
"What even is this thing!?" Neptune questioned loudly, pointing towards USApyon, the otter yo-kai regarded him with a blank glare before turning back to Inaho.
"It's doubtful any humans will know much about this situation, should we check with our yo-kai contacts, dani?"
"Sounds like a plan! We'll have this case solved in no time!" Inaho gave a thumbs-up as the two left.
"Well… seems they have it under control," Sun shrugged, Neptune's eye twitched.
"Oh no! This is our case! I may not know what they're yo-guys or whatever they're talking about are, but we were here first!" Neptune shouted, shaking his fist at the leaving duo, "You hear me! We'll solve this case first!"
"For the record, he doesn't speak for both of us," Sun stated, Neptune didn't seem to hear him.
"Mark my words! I will not be beaten by a little girl!"
"Hey!" Neptune and Sun both blinked, before turning to see Ruby, an offended look on her face, "I'm only two years younger than you!"
"No, not you! The other little girl!" Neptune explained, before turning and seeing Neo, glaring at him, "Oh, come on!" Sun sighed and shook his head.
"This is going to be a long Loop…"
7.15 Boohoooo!
"... How?!" Nate exclaimed, reading a newspaper that stated USApyon was elected President.
"I know! I should have won!" Manjimutt whined, completely forgetting his previous stint as President.
Everyone gave the dog yo-kai a deadpan expression.
At the White House...
"... And that's why you'll just be a puppet while I'M the TRUE president," Badsmella smirked.
"I like your suggestion, but... no." USApyon shrugged, snapping his fingers. Badsmella and a bunch of other people and yo-kai in the room promptly received headshots.
"Errrr… is t-that g-good, sir?" Swelton gulped, having been polishing USApyon's shoes.
"Yes. Yes, it is. Y'know, now seems like a good time for a speec– " USApyon began, before Inaho burst in.
"I'M VVVVVVPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" She exclaimed.
"DANG IT INAHO! I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE A SPEECH WITH DARK OVERTONES!" USApyon roared, chasing the girl around and attempting to force-choke her.
7.16
"Snottle!" Nate called out to the nose-picking yo-kai that appeared to force him to pick his nose, as he often did, but the Anchor held an expression more of stern authority rather than frustration he usually held, confusing the UnAwake Whisper that floated nearby, "Stop inspiriting me, right now!"
"No way, nose-picking is great, dig for gold!" Snottle shot back proudly, Nate sighed, resisting the inspiritment and approaching the yo-ka.
"Snottle, I know why you're doing this, and I'm sorry that I've hurt you," Nate spoke calmly, Snottle looked at him blankly as Whisper kept his confused expression. "But, I also have to be firm. As your father; I order you to stop inspiriting people to pick their noses in public!" and with that, everything seemed to freeze.
"… F-FATHER!?" Whisper shouted out in shock. Snottle just stood, frozen in place, before he sniffled a little.
"D-Dad?" he took a few steps forward towards Nate, who had calmed a bit, but still looked at Snottle sternly. "You remember me? You finally remember me?"
"I couldn't remember you because I never knew about you! Why didn't you explain yourself!?" the Anchor snapped, causing the nose-picking yo-kai to shrink away, "Sorry! Sorry!" Nate waved his hands, moving over to Snottle and placing an arm around him, "Look, I know now that I'm… kind of your dad, I mean, you did come from me, right?"
"… Yeah," Snottle nodded, Nate noted that his fingers still never left his nose, but decided to ignore it.
"And you kept inspiriting me because you wanted me to remember when I picked you out of my nose when I was little, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, no offense, but that plan made no sense," Nate sighed, Snottle blinked confusedly. "I didn't even know about yo-kai when I was that young, nor did I ever think a booger of all things could become sentient. I would've never connected you to such a time in my life without an explanation."
"Oh…" Snottle drooped a little at the realization, but Nate kept the comforting position, "But then; how did you find out?"
"… That's… complicated."
"Complicated? I don't even know what's going on!" Whisper suddenly interjected, Nate glared at the ghostly butler, making him shut up.
"Anyway," Nate turned back to Snottle. "It's not important how I found out, the point is I haven't been the dad you deserve, but I intend to change that! We can spend the whole Loo-er, we can spend a lot of time together," the Anchor quickly corrected himself, even as his 'son' looked at him with both hope and confusion. "Do stuff together, father and son… also we should get your siblings too I suppose…"
"Siblings? I have siblings?" Snottle tilted his head in confusion.
"Oh, um… no," Nate muttered with a sweatdrop, remembering that that detail was pretty Loop variable, but wasn't expecting the other Snottles to straight up not exist…
"Fishing is a great father-son activity!" Whisper smiled, having gotten over the insanity of this situation and was now determined to help Nate and his 'son' bond.
"I don't know about this Whisper…" Nate muttered, holding a fishing pole, remembering what usually happened when he went fishing. Especially since Mermaidyn was Awake this Loop.
"Come now, it's no big deal if you don't catch anything big," Whisper shrugged, apparently not getting what Nate's actual concerns were, "And look how excited he is!"
"Let's fish, Dad!" Snottle exclaimed, holding up a fishing pole, he didn't even have any of his fingers in his nose. Nate muttered a bit to himself, before deciding to just do it and the two began to fish.
"..."
"I got a bite!" Nate exclaimed, his fishing pole starting to shake.
"Reel it in Dad!"
"You go, Nate!" the two yo-kai cheered, though Nate wasn't really enthusiastic about what he was sure was on the other end.
"NATE!" Mermaidyn shouted in outrage as she was pulled out of the water by her hair. "I thought we agreed that you would stop fishing while I was Awake!"
"… I'm sorry, it's just– "Nate started to explain, when Whisper suddenly floated forward in excitement.
"Oh my! Is that the classic yo-kai Mermaidyn!?"
"Dad, I got a bite!" Snottle suddenly interrupted, the other three stopped any argument and turned to the somewhat-humanoid yo-kai as he reeled in his rod, with a splash his catch was revealed to be… what looked like a smaller version of Snottle, with a mermaid tail and some other traits of Mermaidyn, like the hair the line was caught in. The strange mini-hybrid silently struggled to get free.
"… GAH! WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Nate suddenly shouted, Whisper and Mermaidyn giving similar reactions of panic and confusion. Snottle and the strange Snottle/Mermaidyn-like creature just looked confused.
"Introducing family to new family members is a good way for us all to bond," Nate explained to Snottle as they stood in his room, "And, since my parents can't see yo-kai, I figured I should summon someone special to meet you," he pulled a brave-tribe medal from his pocket, Snottle tilted his head in curiosity.
"Who's that, Dad?"
"You'll see," the brown-haired boy smiled, before getting ready for the summoning. "Come on out my family! Calling Moximous N! Yo-ka medal do your thing!" he exclaimed before inserting the medal into the yo-kai watch model zero.
"Oh, summoning time!" the digital voice of the watch exclaimed, before it played the summoning tune for the brave tribe. Nate turned a dial and the tune stopped. "Summoning Brave!"
"Moximous N! Moxy!" a small shadowy humanoid with a cape and what seemed to be spiky hair exclaimed after appearing, he smiled at his summoner. "Hey, Nate? So, what did you call me for?"
"Hello Grandpa, it's good to see you," Nate greeted respectfully, Snottle's eyes widened. "I summoned you because I wanted you to meet someone," 'even if you're not Awake…' Nate thought briefly, before gesturing to the nose-picking yo-kai at his side, "This is my son, Snottle…"
"… Son?" Moximous N blinked in surprise as he looked over Snottle. "No offense, Nate, but aren't you a little young for… that?"
"Er… Grandpa, Snottle wasn't conceived in the… traditional sense," Nate muttered with an embarrassed look, "He… sort of started out as one of my boogers…"
"… Even after I became one, yo-kai are still confusing," Moximous N muttered blankly.
"So… you're my Great-Grandfather?" Snottle questioned in wonder, the Brave yo-kai looked at him critically.
"… Do you always stick your fingers in your nose when you meet your elders?"
"Um… uh…"
"Ha, just kidding," Moximous N smirked. "I know all about how yo-kai quirks are, don't sweat it kid!" Snottle blinked before nodding, Nate smiled.
"Hey there! I'm Katie, I'm a good friend of your dad," the Awake Katie greeted the nose-picking yo-kai, Nate watching from a few feet away. Snottle stared up at Katie curiously.
"… Are you my mom?"
"… Huh!?" Katie blinked in surprise, Nate gained a shocked expression, and both of them turned red. "W-what? Why would you…?"
"Well… I seem to recall Dad stares at you a lot with a weird look, and it's kind of like I see other kids' parents looking at each other? And I've seen you before and you sometimes look at him the same way, so…"
"Okay! That's enough for now!" Nate rushed over, grabbing Snottle by the arm and dragging him away, "Say goodbye to Katie!"
"Um, bye Katie…" Snottle waved as he was dragged away by his flustered father, leaving behind an equally flustered Katie…
Next Loop
"What to do, what to do…" Keita muttered to himself as he walked along the sidewalk to school, Whisper had been freed by Fumika this Loop, and Keita was having trouble deciding what he wanted to do instead of his typical Baseline routine… which, to be fair, he didn't follow all that much anyway…
"Dad!" the call of a familiar, nose-picking yo-kai caught the Anchor's attention, Keita turned to see a panicking Hanahojin approaching him, Keita was a little surprised, since the yo-kai didn't usually just refer to him as 'Dad' to his face without some kind of prompting.
"Hanahojin," Keita greeted casually, despite the fact that as far as the yo-kai knew, he shouldn't know his name yet. The booger-made yo-kai seemed more concerned with something else.
"Dad! I'm really confused right now! A bunch of names changed, I have memories of a bunch of siblings I'm pretty sure I didn't remember having before, and time jumped backwards or something!" Keita froze a bit as he processed what he had just been told, before letting out a sigh.
"Of course…" he let out a deep breath, before calmly looking towards Hanahojin. "Come with me, son. We have a lot to discuss…" he took began moving towards his home, the short yo-kai following. 'What the heck am I going to say to Ruby, Yang and Grif? This is going to be a doozy…'

"And then, I knocked his block off!" Yang exclaimed to her younger brother with a confidant expression. "And he literally ping-ponged right out of the gas station!"
"Wow, seriously!? Is there no end to your awesomeness, Yang," Nate smiled to his older sister, whom ruffled his hair affectionately.
"Aw, now don't you try to flatter me, I'm sure you've got plenty of awesomeness yourself!"
From the nearby table Grif looked with a bored expression, a hand snuck over and grabbed one of the oreos on his plate, which he quickly smacked.
"Ow! Dexter!" Ruby whined as she pulled her hand away.
"You should know better by now," the older brother stated plainly.
"Um, actually, seeing as we're all together in my Branch, there's someone I think that you guys should meet…" Nate muttered, looking a little nervous, Ruby, Yang and Grif looked at the youngest sibling curiously, and Cinder suddenly popped up from behind the coach.
"I'm awake!" the pyromancer exclaimed frantically, her siblings stared at her for a few seconds.
"… Why were you behind the coach?" Ruby questioned.
"She came home drunk last night and collapsed there," Grif interjected bluntly, Cinder growled while Yang burst into a fit of laughter.
"We won't tell mom and dad…" Ruby muttered to Cinder, apologetically, "Well… Nate's mom and dad, who are our mom and dad this Loop…"
"I get it, Ruby," Cinder grunted, rubbing her head tiredly.
"How did you even end up getting that drunk?" Nate asked blankly.
"Blame Qrow!" Cinder snapped, no further questions on the matter were asked…
"… Anyway, as I was saying; there is someone very important for you all to meet," the local Anchor let out a deep breath, "You all remember how I found out that Hanahojin, or Snottle, was kind of… my son?"
"Yeah…" Yang nodded, sharing a few unsure looks with her siblings (except for Cinder, she was too focused on nursing her hangover.)
"Well, I decided I wanted to be a better father to him, so I went out of my way to do just that for a bit… and, now he's sort of… Looping,"
"… Say what now?" Yang blinked.
"Snottle, you can come in!" Nate called to the front door, and a short, sort-of-humanoid yo-kai waddled in, his fingers shoved up his nose and looking up at the various Loopers curiously, "These are your aunts and uncle that I was telling you about…"
"… Um, hello," Snottle greeted a bit nervously, Nate's siblings just stared blankly for a few seconds…
"Oh… Yggdrasil. I'm an aunty!" Ruby suddenly cheered, rushing over to Snottle in the blink of an eye and pulling him into a hug, "I'm so happy to meet you my little booger-nephew! You ever need anything, just come to me! Do you like cookies? Or weapons!? Oh, this is so exciting!" Ruby cheered.
"P-please put me down," Snottle begged as he was shaken around by his newly acquainted aunt.
"Well… this certainly adds more to our little family," Yang chuckled, moving over to look at Snottle after Ruby had put him down. "But… you don't intend to keep your fingers up your nose during my wedding, do you?"
"… Wedding?" Snottle questioned blankly, nervously removing his fingers from his nose.
"Ah! I knew I forgot to mention something to him!" Nate shook his head, Yang laughed a bit.
"This isn't any weirder than how Tucker had a kid, so, all-in-all, I have no comment," Grif muttered.
"I think a booger gaining sentience is a bit stranger than an alien parasite…" Yang added, Grif just shrugged before going back to eating. Cinder rubbed her head, glancing between everyone in the room.
"I can't deal with this right now," she groaned, before collapsing, her assorted family members looked at her in concern…
"… And thus, Cinder Falls," Grif commented, Yang's eye twitched, before she swatted her older brother's head, "Hey!"
"No! Bad!"
"… I like them," Snottle said to his father, who let out a small laugh and patted his head.

"Thank yo–WHAT!?" the koala cried out in shock and outrage.
"Nya!" a red and white cat happily exclaimed, running onto the stage and taking the trophy, before turning to the audience and speaking into the microphone, "I'd like to thank my owner Emi, my good friend Keita, my business manager Whisper… oh, and all my fans! Nya!" the crowd cheered as the small cat waved, Nom Nom was left speechless.
"Who the heck is Akamaru!?" he shouted angrily, as he started to throw a tantrum, Akamaru (AKA Jibanyan) sneakily snickered.

"Let's just get this over with. Thankfully, this particular part of our adventures only lasted for one race." Dastardly mumbled.
"I still don't know what'cha need me for, yo!" Irwin complained.
"You're going to be bait." Dastardly shrugged, driving off to set up a trap.
"That's wiggity, wiggity whack yo." Irwin muttered.

"Why?" Dastardly asked in confusion.
"LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE!" Billy exclaimed, showing up with electricity flowing through him. He promptly touched the Mean Machine.
One explosion later...
"Like I said, I hate everything." Dastardly deadpanned, floating through space in a damaged Mean Machine with Irwin, Muttley and Piper Perfect.
"How did this even happen?!" Piper whined.
"Painnn..." Jinmenken sobbed.
"If you're a car, how do you feel pain, yo?" Irwin asked. The Mean Machine promptly sprayed the nerd with water.

[Yo-kai Watch/RWBY]
Sienna Khan briskly walked into her throne room, Adam would be arriving shortly and she was looking forward to giving him a piece of her mind for–
"What the…?" the leader of the White Fang halted in her movement when she saw whom was sitting in her throne…
"You know, I see what Ruby and Zwei meant. This throne is pretty cool," spoke the child, the human child! To the red and white cat, he had sitting in his lap. "You agree, don't you Rudy?"
"Meow!"
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" Sienna shouted in outrage, the guards stationed around the room stiffened and looked her way, she looked over them with a mixture of rage and confusion. "How did that child get in here!?" at this, the guards started looking around in confusion, before their looks turned to shock when they spotted the kid on the throne.
"Wha…?" one of the guards started, but Sienna motioned for him to be silent.
"Oh, hi your majesty!" the kid waved with a cheerful smile. "My name is Nate! And this is Rudy!"
"Meow!"
"We were just talking about how your throne– "
"Why are you here… how are you here!?" The leader of the White Fang hissed with a harsh glare.
"I walked in…" Nate answered simply.
"You… walked in!?"
"Yup, nobody stopped me, it was almost like I was invisible," Nate gave a playful smile, Sienna's eye twitched.
"… Out! Everyone out!" she shouted angrily, glaring at her guards. "You are all fired!" she then turned her focus to the kid on her throne. "And you are lucky you are so young, or I might do something worse than just sending you away!"
"Both of those things suit me just fine," Nate shrugged, getting up from the throne. "Let's go Rudy."
"Nyoew!" the cat happily followed along, Nate moved towards the exit with the White Fang leader watching him carefully, however he stopped before reaching the exit and turned to face the authority figure.
"Oh yeah, there's one more thing I think you should know about…"
"What?" the tiger faunus questioned flatly. Nate zoomed over to one of the leaving guards and snatched something from him.
"… Huh?" the guard muttered, reaching for where the item was stolen from confusedly. Nate zoomed back over to the White Fang leader and handed her the scroll.
"You might want to take a look at this, particularly the part where, and I quote; 'Adam Taurus replaces Sienna Khan as high-leader of the White Fang.'"
Sienna glared at the child skeptically, but sure enough, when she did look through the files on the scroll, she found exactly that. Sienna's glare hardened as she turned her focus back to the guards, whom seemed to want to get out of the room faster now…
"Adam… you're late," Sienna hissed, Adam paused at how much hate was in her tone, already subtly reaching for his blade.
"My apologies, I was…" the masked man trailed off as he noticed two things in the room; the distinct lack of guards… and an out of place kid and cat… "What is… that thing doing here?" the faunus man questioned, his voice filled with revulsion.
Nate and Rudy glanced at each other, apparently not sure which of them he was referring to…
"That is none of your concern Adam," Sienna interjected harshly. "What is of your concern, is your plan to kill and replace me!" at this, Adam stiffened. "That's right, I know all about it! I knew you had fallen far, but not this far! Do you have anything to say for yourself before I have you executed!?" silence fell upon the room, before Adam wordlessly pulled out his blade and made a charge for the high-leader.
"Nope!" Nate zoomed over to Adam's side, grabbing his arm before he could stab Sienna, giving her the moment she needed to move out of the way. "Not happening bust– "
Nate's words were cut off when the bull faunus sent his sword straight through his chest. The eleven-year-old boy stared up at his killer with a look of abject horror, and Adam smirked as the life left his body and he fell to the ground.
"Nyeow!" Rudy cried out, rushing over to the boy, Sienna could only stare.
"You… killed a child in cold blood…" there were many factors to Sienna's tone; shock, rage, disappointment, sorrow… Adam didn't even flinch.
"Child…? No, Sienna, all I did here was rightly exterminate some vermin…" Adam spoke coldly, before holding the blade and preparing to charge her again, Sienna Khan's eyes narrowed as she readied her own weapon, she was ready to fight to avenge the young life that had just been extinguished before her eyes, and defend her own.
Or she would have fought, had the blue glow emitting from Nate's body, and the sounds of echoing moaning didn't draw both of their attention. Suddenly, a plume of blue smoke burst from the fallen child, and lunged towards Adam. Before he could react, the spectral entity snatched his sword right out of his hands!
"Yoink!" Nate's voice echoed from the cloud, though shocked, Sienna took advantage of Adam's baffled state and sent a blade of her own straight through his body. The traitor gasped as he fell, desperately reaching for his blade that was being dangled just out of reach, in some futile attempt to take Sienna with him in his demise, before falling to the ground, dead and defeated.
The high-leader of the White Fang took a few deep breaths, she watched as the blue smoke converged on the child's body, funneling into the sword wound on his chest, somehow sealing it after the last of the smoke had entered.
Nate pulled himself back up, stretching a little, before picking Rudy up and turning to the stunned Sienna.
"Man, dying is never fun," he shook his head, glancing towards Adam's body, nodding. "Well… glad to be of service, your highness," he nodded before moving towards the exit.
"Who are you… really?" at the high-leader's questioned, Nate stopped. He glanced back at her with a smile.
"I am but a humble visitor to this world, who has close ties to its agent of order… that is all," he explained ambiguously, before leaving. Sienna remained in the room, both baffled by what had happened, but relieved that Adam's plans for the White Fang would go no further…
