Remnants 5th Kingdom
ESKK: Wow new chapter already damn me and are on a roll here. Well then please enjoy it and like always leave with a smile.
(Start Chapter 7)
It was morning at Galdin Quay as the two teams were all gathered in the hotel room NIGP stayed at for the night as they were ready to check out also. "Finally I thought the Ferry would never arrive." Blake said as she was all suited up and ready to go as with the others.
"Alright everyone, today is the day. The investigation begins!" Ruby called as she jumped on the bed with Noctis sitting on it after his rude wake up and jumped to the floor.
"I'm glad to see we're taking this so seriously." Weiss said as Ruby's happy attitude didn't exactly hide Weiss' sarcasm.
"Yes but her eagerness is an open change to the dreariness of this situation." Ignis said as he chuckled at Ruby's response.
"Right then does everyone remembers their roles?" Ruby asked as she looked to everyone there.
"You, me, Ignis, and Noctis will head to a CCT link up spot in Altissia and check out the Schnee Records for nay dust robberies, or inconsistencies with the stalk we have. Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem." Weiss said as Ignis spoke up.
"And if we have any spare time Weiss and I shall look into information of our own side investigation of things." Ignis commented as that was agreeable.
"The White Fang has regular Faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If me, and Prompto can get in, we can hopefully find out what they're planning." Blake said as Prompto butted in.
"Yeap and hopefully get a few shots of evidence while we're at it." Prompto called as he butted in. "And lucky for us Dino pointed us to a place where it's rumored that the one today is being held at." Prompto called out as he smiled a toothy grin here.
"I got Dino talking also a bit after we met up with him. He told us about this club that we can get some information from a shady spot in Altissia and the guy there can basically tell us everything we need to know since he apparently knows everything that goes on in Lucis though makes his money as an information broker." Yang said as Gladiolus then butted in.
"We'll head over to this guy and from what Dino told us we need to find a lady a DJ named Selphie who can point us to the right direction to this guy." Gladiolus said as that was their part of the plan.
"Good then we'll meet up tonight near Yang and Gladio to go over what we've found." Noctis said as Ruby then smiled.
"Let's do this!" Ruby called as Zwei and Pryna were ready to go also.
"Right!" They all called as they were ready to go.
(Scene Break Altissia)
The group were walking around Altissia as it was a city that lacked roads less you count the Boat rides as vehicles. Altissia was a city that used the Gondola's for getting around the town hence why the only way there was by boat of Ferry. There were already signs up welcoming the foreign visitors from the other Academy's as the final touches were being placed on the town for the Chocobo Moogle Carnival.
Noctis, Ignis, Ruby, and Weiss were here as they were exploring the beautiful town after they split up from the group after arriving. "Wow this place is incredible it's no wonder they wouldn't build an actual CCT Tower here." Weiss said as she saw the Tower would ruin the beauty the city had.
"I know!" Ruby called as he looked at the city around them.
"Yes Altissia is surely a sight to behold in Lucis." Ignis said as they were following the signs to the CCT Link-Up Center which was a small building that easily blended it to Altissia without ruining the entire city. These Link Up spots were added to many hotels in Major Cities, towns, and villages around Lucis as the actually Tower was in fact closer to Insomnia as it was built by Lucis, Menagerie, Vale, and Vacuo people with Mistral helping with design and Atlas giving the specks to build it properly.
"Yeah reason that so many people have their weddings here is because of its beauty which said weddings helped give it the name City of Love." Noctis said as he walked with the group.
"I would like to see a wedding sometimes and see what it's, like." Ruby said as she never been to one before and Weiss began to say, "I've been to some, for mostly family business."
Weiss tone gotten irritated thinking about what her father does at wedding as well, as she would think he wouldn't go unless it was for business only.
Pushing that to the side as she didn't want to think about it right now as she say, "Great music, slow dancing, and the finest food ever to be served."
Ignis push up his glasses as he said in a low tone, "I would beg to differ."
Ruby roll her eyes at Weiss and says, "Oooh look at me, my name is Weiss, I know facts, I'm rich!"
Rick started to snicker as did Noctis to Ruby's joke as Weiss look at her and says, "Don't be a pest!"
"Let's us be calm, I sure she just joking about your person because she is envious of your wealthy life style," Ignis said as he didn't want a fight to break out as Ruby hardly understand what he meant a she turn to Noctis to ask him as he said to her, "Don't look deep in it. We're all just having a good time."
"Quite right your majesty," Ignis said as they keep going as Ruby reach into her pocket to pull out her scroll as she said, "I going to take a few photo shot and send to dad, I'm sure he would love some and see where we are at."
As Ruby pull out her scroll, her hand were of butter fingers as she drop it as came down and bounce across the ground forward, until it stop, then a hand reach down to it and picked it up.
Noctis look to where Ruby drop her scroll and saw a familiar reddish orange hair color as the person who pick up Ruby's scroll was Penny as she held it out and says, "You drop this."
"Penny?" Noctis and Ruby said at the same time as Penny panic for some reason as she saw who scroll she pick up as she says, "Ahh!"
"Where have you been?! WE haven't seen you since the night at the docks," Ruby said to her as Noctis says, "We did get somewhat worry, a few of us felt more than somewhat. Also what are you doing here?"
"S-sorry. I think you're confused (Hiccup)," Penny said as she hiccup a bit as Ruby scroll that was in her hand that toss from hers and into Ruby's as Penny went on saying, "Uh, I've got to go."
Weiss look to Ruby as she says, "What was that about?" "I don't know. But I'm going to find out. You go make your call. I'll meet up with you later!" Ruby said as she went after Penny as Noctis look to Ignis as he said, "Just help Weiss out."
"Understood," Ignis said as he saw Noctis follow after Ruby and Penny as Weiss is confused on what just happen as she asked, "What just happen?"
"I believe they have other business they have to settle right now. Let us make the call and get back to the others soon as we can," Ignis said as he went on with Weiss in arms to find a video phone to use.
Meanwhile Ruby went after penny with Noctis following as Ruby caught up and said to Penny, "Penny! Where have you been? It's been weeks after what happen at the docks!"
"You passed out and vanish afterwards" Noctis said to her as Penny says, "There seems to be a misunderstanding."
Penny walk pass the two as Ruby said, "What?!"
Ruby walk after her as she said, "Penny… is everything alright?"
Penny keep going as Noctis gotten tired of this as he took out a coin he had in his pocket as he flips it over Penny, and warp before her as she stops and Noctis caught the coin in his hand as he said, "Hold on for a moment, let's talk. All of us."
Ruby came before Penny as she says, "Look, I don't know what's wrong. But you have to listen. Those guys we fought back at vale, we think they're up to something big. Something bad! We need you to tell us what happened to you that night. Please, as a friend."
Friend, the one thing Penny wants to keep as she sighed, and look around her as it seem someone could be watching her, then she walk over to the two and said, "It isn't safe to talk here."
(With Weiss and Ignis)
"Ms. Schnee I do believe it would be wise to involved Winter on this little investigation of our at least the part involving your father." Ignis said as they entered the Link Up station to make the contact as it wasn't as large as the CCT Tower at Vale so they had less room to work with as the primary equipment was used to make and receive calls through the scrolls.
"I know but..." Weiss began as Ignis understood.
"Ms. Schnee you discovered your strength and have gained your summoning ability if Odin and Valefor are anything to go by. Your elder sister would no doubt be proud of you of your accomplishments." Ignis said as he and Weiss were standing in line to be checked over for any illegal stuff and proof of identity.
"I know that Ignis but I mean that whole thing my father and this whole thing he is a part of, I'm honestly scared of what we might find and the truth of my father may be worse than we first imagined." Weiss said as Ignis sighed and adjusted his glasses a bit.
"We will learn nothing if we don't delve deep into the mystery. As far as I see your mother was meant to hold the Council spot not your father who had given it to James Ironwood who is already in charge of the Atlas Military and head of the Academy there. There is a limit to how much power one man can hold and his highness the King knows this and limits his own power as needed." Ignis said as Weiss looked. "Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely so we must be willing to delve deep and bring this man to justice and let the weight of his crimes finally crush this dynasty he had built around himself." Ignis said as Weiss smiled a bit as they arrived at the front of the line.
"Welcome to the CCT Link-Up Station. How may I help you?" The Automatic voice asked as the two looked to the machine pad next to them.
"Me, and my friend would like to make a call at a communication terminal." Weiss said as the AI understood.
"Absolutely. Could you please place your scroll on the terminal to verify your identity before being allowed entrance into the Communication room?" The AI asked as Weiss and Ignis then placed their scrolls on the terminal and started it up as they in turn waited for a few moments as the Lucian tech scanned it.
"Perfect Thank you Miss Schnee and Mr. Scentia of the Royal Advisory welcome to the Lucis Cross Continental Transmit Link-Up Center Altissia Branch. Please make your way to Terminal 3 and once there input who you wish to contact." The voice said as the two began heading to Terminal 3 and once there they sat down.
"Hello how where shall this call be directed to?" The AI asked as Weiss knew the relations between Lucis and Atlas was shaky so she had to be careful here.
"I'd like to make a call to Schnee World Headquarters in Atlas." Weiss said waiting for alarms to go off and such.
"Certainly but before the call may go through know that a list of contraband items from the SDC are monitored and the request for any of said contraband items will be immediately recorded and reported to the proper authorities." The AI said doing a bit of a disclaimer/warning saying that if Weiss asks for a contraband item from the SDC she's going to jail as the list appeared on her screen before moving to a holo-spot at the desk top.
"Understood and I accept these rules." Weiss said as Ignis nodded.
"Very well I'll patch you through now." The AI said as Weiss smiled a bit.
"Thank you." Weiss said as it was now or never.
The screen activated as an attendant answered. "Thank you for calling the Schnee." The woman began before she recognized Weiss there. "Oh Ms. Schnee Good afternoon would, you like me to patch you through to your father? I think your sister, Winter might be here as well." The attendant said as Weiss swallowed her resolve.
"Actually I would like to speak with, Winter if she is available in a private line." Weiss said as the attendant was curious about that. "If you can arrange that I'd greatly appreciate it but I was also wondering if you can find some files for me. I've compiled a short list" Weiss said as Ignis watched from outside the secretary's view as Weiss could see him as she saw Ignis was ready to step in when needed. The list was in fact on the Dust sales in Vale and such to find those inconsistencies but also the security detail on the shipments being exported which was nothing major as she can easily pass that off as doing research for when she ascends to the Head of the SDC before she then plugged her scroll in for her request.
"I see. If you don't mind... What may I ask this is for?" She asked as Weiss then smiled a bit.
"Oh just preparing for when I inherit the Schnee fortune after I complete my studies at Beacon." Weiss said as she smiled to the desk girl.
"Hmm makes sense." She said as Ignis had thought of that one knowing Weiss's original excuse was for a school project but seeing as they were in Lucis it would already raise major red flags on them.
"I'll be sure to treat them with care don't you worry." Weiss said as she then looked to the lady. "So while you're getting these files for me can you connect me with Winter on that private line please?" Weiss asked as the woman nodded.
"Certainly won't take long mind you so the files should be in your scroll before your conversation with Winter is over." The woman said as Weiss was soon transferred to Winter's Scroll.
After a few minutes Winter's face soon appeared on the screen. "Weiss now this is uncharacteristic of you may I ask why your calling and had requested a secured private line?" Winter asked as Weiss sighed a bit.
"Winter... we need to talk." Weiss began as the tone she used Winter knew already it was something big.
"I suppose informing me of your wellbeing will have to wait then." Winter said as she looked to Weiss as Ignis was ready to step in if and when Weiss needed him to.
(With Penny)
Penny was in front of a Café waiting for Ruby and Noctis as she looked around hoping she wouldn't get spotted. That was when she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to see Ruby with Rachel there to which Ruby only smiled and Penny returned the smile.
The trio were soon walking as Penny looked to Ruby. "I wish I can help you Ruby. But I don't know anything about those men." Penny said as Ruby looked concerned as did Noctis.
"Well, what happened to you that night? We were all together and then you just disappeared. And after you passed out when those monster things showed up we thought they may have gotten you." Noctis said trying to keep the Daemons on the down low for now.
"Oh, no nothing like that." Penny said as she found the feeling of fear and hatred torts Ruby and Noctis had vanished after the Daemons appeared.
"Well then where did you go?" Ruby asked as she wanted to know.
"I've never been to another Kingdom before. My father asked me not to venture out to far, but, oh you have to understand my father love me very much he just worries a lot." Penny explained as she looked to the duo. "But after that night I don't know what happened it was like my entire body was refusing to listen to me. And when those things appeared I swore I could hear their thoughts inside me." Penny confessed as Noctis looked.
"Wait you could hear them what did they say?" Noctis asked as Penny then took a deep breath as if to calm her nerves no doubt that event still haunted her.
"I couldn't understand it exactly but I did get just enough to know what they were saying. King of Kings, Queen of Queens, and Warriors of Light." Penny repeated what she heard that night as she wanted to keep the negative feelings that filled her that night on the down low also. "I told my father about this and he ended up reiterating to not to venture far with his worrying getting worse in a good way." Penny said as Ruby rolled her eyes to that one a bit.
"Believe me I know the feeling." Ruby said as she looked to Penny.
"But why didn't you let any of us know you were ok?" Noctis asked as he did worry for his friends especially Penny who may have been mentally challenged but can kick ass big time what with the Docks before the Daemons appeared.
"I, was asked, not to talk to you." Penny said as she wasn't done. "Or Weiss... or Blake... or Yang... or Prompto... or Ignis... or Gladio. Anybody for that matter." Penny said as the trio walked through Altissia as it wouldn't be long till they had to board a Gondola.
"Was your dad that upset?" Ruby asked as Penny looked.
"No it wasn't my father." Penny said as now that caught Noctis attention there.
That was when a loud speaker was heard. "The AK130 has been a standard security model of Remnant for several years." A voice said as the trio arrived to see a hologram of General Ironwood making a speech.
(Presentation area)
"And they have done a fine job, wouldn't you agree? Wouldn't you agree?" He asked as the androids behind him bowed as he people applaud. "But, Atlas in a Kingdom of Innovation. And fine, well that's just not good enough is it?" Ironwood said as his hologram walked to the side a bit as the doors of the containers behind the androids began to open to reveal sleeker androids. "Presenting the Atlesian Knight." Ironwood said before he Atlesian Knights knocked down the bowing Androids no doubt to show off. Though they did look very less intimidating there was something very off about them as Penny nearby felt her heart race somehow as she was almost afraid to be near them as the negative feeling from before was starting to resurface but not majorly so. But to those born on Eos noticed that these Atlesian Knights had a resemblance in some way to the Nefilheim Magitech soldiers as some of them were a bit unnerved by them.
People of course applaud them out of necessity and small respect as Atlas still didn't have a good name in Lucis as Ironwood wasn't done. "Smarter, sleeker, and more admittedly, a little less scary." Ironwood said as the Atlesian Knights did a military style salute as no doubt the one who made them didn't want them showboating. "These models will become active later this year but they won't be alone. Now the Atlesian Military has always supported the idea of removing men from the dangers of the battle field, however, there are still many situations that undoubtedly require, a human touch." James said as something big was about to appear.
(Noctis, Ruby, and Penny)
"Ruby." Penny said getting nervous as Ruby was getting a smile at seeing new weapons.
(Back to the presentation)
"So, our Kingdoms greatest minds, in cooperation with the Schnee Dust Company, and the minds of Dr. Izunia are proud to introduce, The Atlesian Paladin!" Ironwood said before his hologram vanished to reveal a large mech armed with deadly weapons as people applaud the same way as before but a bit nervous as this Paladin shared a very large resemblance to that of the Magitech war mechs only slightly more humanoid in certain aspects. "Now we couldn't have them here for you today. But these mechanized battle suits will be seen defending the borders of out Kingdom within the year and in hopes of future good relations between Atlas and Lucis to provide these new androids to Lucis to protect your boarders from the Grimm Threats." Ironwood said as the suit did look intimidating.
(With the trio)
"Woah." Ruby said as Penny looked.
"Ruby. Maybe we should go somewhere else..." Penny said as Noctis said how it the Knights were making Penny very much uneasy and in all honesty if Ruby wasn't a weapon nut he hoped she would feel the same as Noctis didn't like the look of those machines.
Soon some Atlas Soldiers saw them before Penny ended up running as Ruby and Noctis saw this also. "Penny? Wait! Where are you going?!" Ruby called out as Noctis saw Penny run.
"Let's go." Noctis said as the Soldiers began to run after them.
The two were running down the streets of Altissia as they didn't have the advantage of Roads and cars to cover their tracks but what they lacked in those they made up for with the water paths if one knew who to properly use them. The Two Soldiers followed as they were intent of catching them. The passed a street and the two Atlas Soldiers crossed as well only for one of them to nearly get hit by a cart being transported filled with the supplies for the upcoming Moogle Chocobo Carnival as they ran like Hell.
They soon saw an area holding a large amount of boxes as Noctis then summoned the Engine sword and Warped there and once Ruby passed him he cut it down causing the boxes to fall blocking the soldier's path. "Come on!" Noctis called as he then warped torts Penny as Ruby ran across the wall and grabbed Penny and Noctis as Ruby looked.
"Get Ready Noct!" Ruby called before Noctis warped them to a good spot before Ruby was ready. "This way." Ruby called before she tried to use her semblance again to get away only for Ruby o struggle for a minute with how heavy Penny seemed to be.
She was able to propel them torts a turn only for Ruby to lose strength and roll into the street across the river as Noctis hit a few trashcans hard but not injury level. But a man was bringing in some supplies and a large amount mind you as some of it was metal as Penny then acted and grabbed the supplies before it could crush Ruby or Noctis as this caused a crater to form around them as Noctis and Ruby were surprised by this.
"Penny..." Ruby said as Noctis was wide eyed with his mouth opened wide in shock.
"Are you ok?" Penny asked the old man transporting the supplies as the old man nodded to that.
People were whispering as they saw what Penny did as Penny in fear then ran off as Ruby saw this and she was worried for her. "Penny come back!" Noctis called as he ran off after Penny with Ruby following close behind them.
(With Ruby, Noctis, and Penny)
Penny was panicking as she looked around for somewhere to hide as she didn't want anything bad to happen. Ruby and Noctis ran torts Penny as the two were clearly worried for the girl. "Penny! Please! What is going on? Why are you running? How did you do that?" Ruby asked as she motioned to the street they left at the last part.
"I-I can't. Everything is fine!" Penny said before she hiccupped. "I-I don't want to talk about it." Penny said before she hiccupped again.
"Penny if you can just tell me what's wrong we can help you." Noctis said as Penny was freaking out.
"No, no; no, you wouldn't understand neither of you would." Penny said as she was panicking here.
"Let me try let both of us try. You can trust me and Noctis." Ruby said as Penny walked torts Ruby and Noctis.
"You're both my friends' right? You both promise you're my friends?" Penny asked as Ruby looked.
"I promise." Noctis said as Ruby agreed.
"Me too." Ruby said as she looked to Penny.
"Ruby, Noctis... I'm not a real girl." Penny said as she showed her hands to show under her skin was metal as the skin was fake.
"Oh." Ruby said as she was shocked as was Noctis as this was surprising for both of them.
"But Penny, I-I don't understand." Noctis said as he was trying to make a lick of sense of what was going on and so far came up with blank.
Penny raise her hand as she looks down to them as she said, "Most girls are born, but I was made. I'm the world's first synthetic person that capable of generating an aura." Penny said looking at her hands as on the metal were markings clearly not of Remnant but weren't from stopping that large metal crate either. Penny then look down in shame, as she said, "I'm not real."
As the soldiers came down the alleyway to where Penny is at as one of them said, "There she is!"
"Salutations, officers!," Penny said as she acting like everything is okay as Ruby lifted the dumpster lip up carefully with Noctis giving her a bit of a hand, as the first officer asked, "Why were you running? And what happened to that other guy and girl?"
"What other guy and girl? I've been by myself all day (hiccup)." Penny said as she Hiccup at the end, as Noctis notice this as he wonder if every-time she lies she does that, if she does how many people know about this because it could cause problem right now.
Thankfully none of the two seem to notice it or knew much about it as the other guy said, "You shouldn't cause such a scene."
"Are you okay?" The first one asked as Penny lifted her hand to show the scrape skin and metal showing as she says, "Just a scratch."
"Penny, your father isn't going to be happy about this," The first officer said as the 2nd one said, "Please, just come with us."
"Yes sir!" Penny said as she soon walk off with the two officers as Noctis let out a breath and said, "That was close."
"I didn't think so," Ruby said and then she hears a squeak sound of a rat or a mouse as she look down and saw the small creature she went, "Eep!" and feel back whole bringing Noctis down with her and the dumpster lip closed on top of them.
(Yang and Gladiolus)
As the two tank fighters got off the gondola boat, Gladiolus pay the gondolier as he said to the guy, "Thanks for the ride."
The guy nodded and went off to find his next customer who was down the canals. Yang look around as she asked, "So where is this place supposed to be again?"
Gladiolus walk and said, "Just down the way if Dino's information is right."
Yang follow beside the guy as she says, "He better hope so, if it is and as well if the place is as good as he said, then we won't have a problem."
Coming down the streets and came to an area and saw people coming around and walking up to the bouncer as he would ether let people in or tell them to get lost.
"Hey!" Came a new voice as the two looked and saw a young man with blue hair, goggles, a red jacket, and knee pads and armored on him as on his back was some sort of weapon but the evidence said it he was a foreign Huntsman. "You with the blond hair!" He called as he ran up to them.
"Uh yea?" Yang asked as she was ready to fight if need be.
"You wouldn't have happened to meet a Monkey Faunus in Vale would you?" The young man asked as the duo nodded.
"You mean Sun?" Gladiolus asked as he looked to the young man.
"Ah great so did he make it to Altissia?!" He asked stepping away from the water spots no doubt probably hating having to come to Altissia if it wasn't for its nick name the City of Love.
"Not sure you know him?" Gladiolus asked as the young man nodded.
"Yeah I'm his teammate Neptune and well we got separated on the boats when he had the bright idea to stowaway on a random ship kicker is when he did we found out the Vytal Festival was in Lucis so when he called us from Beacon of all places needless to say we had uh mixed reactions." Neptune said as that made sense.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Yang asked as she saw the club seemed to be popular here.
"Well that's easy Sun said he heard some chick named Blake was going to be here needed to talk to her about a problem he got his cousin stuck in with this guy's sister. Gladiolus if I'm not screwing up." Neptune said as Gladiolus went wide eyed.
"Oh I almost forgot about that." Gladiolus said as Neptune was wide eyed by this as he just realized like Sun he dropped the ball on that one.
"Come on man I mean sure protective older brother but Sun's cousin didn't do anything wrong." Neptune tried to help as Yang looked.
"Look don't sweat it ok but you might want to help Sun get his cousin out of dodge since we're kind of on a road trip here." Yang said as Neptune then gulped a bit.
"Anyway let's go we need to find this Selphie girl after all." Gladiolus said as Neptune looked.
"Hey wait up!" Neptune called as he wanted to tag along on this little trip here.
(Inside the Squall Dance Club)
*Insert Junior's Club Music
The trio walked in as apparently foreign Huntsman were getting free admittance as part of the Vytal Festival as they walked in looking for Selphie to meet with the guy who was their contact through her. But the club was really pact as party goers were having a good time dancing to the music as Yang looked and spotted some members of Team CRDL there trying to get some ladies as they looked to see a group of guys trying to get one of their friends to talk to a girl as said girl looked to be a Faunus.
A DJ girl was at the Lead DJ spot as she was having a good time herself as it looked like this was her song as she would scratch the record every now and again as Yang smirked before they made their way to the bar area.
"What can I get you?" The Bartender on duty asked as Gladiolus looked.
"We need to talk to a girl named Selphie an informant named Dino said she knows a guy who can get us some information." Gladiolus said as the Bartender looked surprised as he then looked behind the group to the DJ.
"Well Selphie is up there on the DJ right now if you guys want you could try and wait a bit before talking to her. I'll let her know you guys want to talk to her of course the minute her performance is done." The bartender said as he looked to the group of three.
"Be sure you do don't want to have to bust this place up." Yang said showing her gauntlets Ember Celica a bit as the Bartender got nervous a bit before Gladiolus elbowed her causing her to yelp at that.
"Sorry about her she's kind of quick to anger." Gladiolus said as he made a gesture that says don't cause a repeat of the incident at Junior's club.
"Ok you go it." He said as he was ready to get whatever drink they wanted.
"Wow what a woman." Neptune said as Gladiolus then looked.
"Wouldn't do it man she already has her eyes on someone else." Gladiolus said as Neptune heard that.
"Oh ok." Neptune said before looked to his side and saw a pair of twins who seemed focus on Gladiolus. "Sup." He greeted in a flirting tone as the girls looked to them as they looked like possible Kingsglaives if not foreign huntresses as they began to walk away.
"Whatever." They both said as they began to walk away not interested in the flirt from Mistral.
(With Blake and Prompto)
The two Faunus fighters made their way to a darker area of Altissia as it seem it may have its brightest part, is also has dark parts too.
Blake three scratches on a wall and knew what I meant as those scratches are the same kind to the claw marks of the White Fang flag as she said, "This is it."
Prompto made sure to have some fresh film in his camera and also have a full load of bullets as well around the lens just in case a fight breaks out, as he close it up as he says, "Ready to go."
"Hey you guys," a new voice that came out of nowhere as they turn to see Sun coming up to them as Blake said, "Sun?"
"Hey dude, what are you doing here?" Prompto said as Sun look at them and said, "Heard there's a Faunus rally of some sort here, came to check it out. Maybe party a bit if it's that kind."
"Hate to break it too you, but it's not," Blake said as sun look at them and saw they had their weapons lock, load, and ready as he said, "It's a White Fang Rally then isn't it?"
"Yea, and we been told there going to be a special guest coming here as well. A Little recon and exposing of the bad guys hang out," Prompto said as Sun look at them and says, "Are you sure that's a good idea, would you guy need more help with that kind of thing or something?"
"Well if you want, join us, and if not a good rally, then we might turn it into a party," Prompto said as Blake untie her bow and headed down the area where other Faunus are headed to, as Sun look at this for a moment and said, "Fine, but only as a favor, as I don't want that big guy to come after me because my cousin is dating his sister."
"Deal then, follow along," Prompto said as he follow Blake down the alleyway along with Sun too.
As the now trio follow up down the alleyways, as a Faunus guy in a suit they meet handed them Grimm mask as he said, "I hope you enjoy your time."
They nodded and went on as they reach the rally meeting place is at, as a Faunus couple came up as white Fang member came out and greet them as he said, "New recruits keep to the right."
The guy led to in as the two follow behind, the trio hid behind a wall for a moment as Sun started to say, "I don't get it. If you believe what you're doing is right, why hide who you are?"
"I always thought it was to freak people out," Prompto said as he put his mask on as Blake look at the one she has as she says, "The masks are a symbol. Back in the other kingdoms, humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters."
"Grimm masks. That's kinda dark," Sun said to her as Blake nods and said, "So was the guy who started it."
"I'm guessing he not unicorn kind of guy then," Prompto said trying to make a joke out of the whole dark talk about the Grimm masks and the guy who started it.
"Always sunshine and rainbows with you," Sun said as he put on the mask as did Blake as soon enough the three of them walk in and join the other who joining the white Fang.
As they walk in, they saw a lot of White Fang members as it seem most of the has gather around to this one place, and only a few hand full of Faunus came in, but there was enough of them as they were spread out and easy for the trio to hide themselves in just in case they get spotted.
A white Fang member who was high on the chain of command walk up on stage as he said to everyone, "Thank you all for coming. For, those of you who are joining us for the first time tonight, allow me to introduce a very special comrade of ours."
The sound of a can taping the ground as the person walk up and to Dino's information seem to be right on the dot as walk up was no other than Roman Torchwick and for some reason in the back near him was a girl with pink hair on one side of her and two different eye color, but not many people seem to have notice her other than Prompto as he has his camera out and took a few snap shot of her and a few of Roman, along with some white Fang members around before putting his camera away.
As the high ranking white Fang member keep on saying, "I can assure you, he is the key to obtaining what we have fought for, for so long."
The white fang member kind of boo him or yell out in anger, as did some of the recruits as Roman started to say, "Thank you, Thank you! Please, hold your applause."
A deer Faunus girl yell out saying, "What's a human doing here?"
"I'm glad you asked, Dearie," Roman making a pun to the deer girl as he went on saying, "Now I'll be the first to admit, humans are the WORST. Case in point. So I understand why you would love to see us all locked away, or better yet: Killed!"
In the crowd Prompto looked to Blake as did Sun as they were both getting bored with his long winded speech. "So is he going anywhere with this or is he planning on boring us out of here." Prompto asked Blake as Sun agreed there as Roman continued his speech/rant on humans.
"Not to mention the fact you and I ALL have a common enemy. The ones in control, the people pulling the strings the dirty rotten humans that run out kingdom. Government, Military, even the schools they're all to blame for most of your lot in life. Sure Faunus have it pretty good up here in Lucis but how long till they start turning on you. See I've been here for a good week or so and by the looks of it Lucis seems to be trying to dilute the Faunus heritage out of you guys ever so subtly." Roman said as Blake was wide eyed at that as Roman was talking about the human/Faunus Hybrids in Lucis as Prompto and Sun both saw that was a low blow for Roman that seemed to be doing its trick.
"And they're all pests that need to be dealt with the humans and the half breeds." Roman said as Prompto was getting very ticked off here as was Blake and Sun since those kids had nothing to do with the Faunus idiotic war on humans here. "Fortunately, I'm the best exterminator around. No offense to any rodents in the room." Roman said as Sun was recording the entire meeting as with Prompto as no doubt they intended to pull another leak on the White Fang to let the Glaives and Huntsman know that the White Fang are at it again. Then Roman snapped his fingers as the tarp behind him fell down to reveal the Atlesian Paladin which Prompto nearly yelped out when he saw how much it looked like a Magitech War Mech as Blake saw this.
"You ok Prompto?" Blake asked as Prompto was surprised to see that thing here even if it had the White Fang symbol painted on it.
"Uh that's a big robot." Sun said as Blake then looked to Sun.
"How did he get that?" Blake asked as Prompto took a picture of said robot without the flash going off as he wasn't going to let the Fang hurt any innocent people.
"As some of you may have heard, this right here." Roman began as he tapped the side of the mech. "Is Atlas's newest line of defense against all the scary things in the world. And thanks to my employer and their anonymous contacts, we've managed to snag a few before they, uh, hit the shelves." Roman said as he looked to the crowd as the cheers were getting larger. "Now, many of your brothers lost a lot of operations here in Lucis but well we're moving out of Altissia and the operations are going to be moved down to the south east. If you'd rather stay in Altissia then be my guests but if you're close to Tenebrae or heaven forbid Insomnia I'd suggest you run for it. But if you're truly ready to fight for what you believe in, this is the arsenal I can provide you at Tenebrae. Any question?" Roman said as Tenebrae was said to be the birth place of the Oracle and the fact she's back in the picture would mean Tenebrae would be a place to go if they want to find a way to remove Lucis best healer out there and their only link to their Astral Gods.
The fact is when the Lunafreya's were rescued by Regis so long ago and the Astral's brought Lucis to Remnant they took Tenebrae with them cutting away Nefilheim's land and providing the future Oracles a link to their past as some would say with the discovery of the new Oracle Tenebrae may once again see a royal family ruling there and with it a 6th Kingdom. The Crownsguard, Kingsglaives, and Hunters have worked hard to protect that place for the Oracles sake and if that falls a lot of moral would go down with them and fear of losing the Oracle as well.
"We should get out of here." Blake said as she looked to Prompto and Sun.
"No kidding." Prompto said as they tried to discreetly sneak away but a White Fang Member then spoke up.
"Will all new, recruits please come forward." The White Fang member said as Sun was surprised.
"Whelp it was nice knowing you guys if this goes south." Sun said as he looked to them.
(Back with Yang, Gladiolus, and Neptune)
"Ok folks that's it for Selphie for not but she'll be back real soon so give her a bit of a breather!" The hype man called as Selphie got off the spot and took her Flash drive which recorded her songs so she can work on improving them while also linking her to certain, 'places,' she had no business being at. The Bartender approached her and talked to her as she nodded and began making their way to the group.
"Yo you guys needed to talk?" She asked as the trio saw the DJ and her of shaped hair and yellow outfit.
"Yeah we heard you can connect us to a guy who knows just about everything going on in Lucis and beyond, a guy named... Leon." Gladiolus said as Selphie looked to the side and saw no one looking.
"Follow me I'll take you to him." Selphie said gesturing the trio to follow.
(Later at Selphie's dressing room)
"Well where is Leon?" Yang asked as they sat down as Selphie sat down and spun her chair a bit.
"You're looking at him." Selphie said as the trio were shocked by this.
"Wait what?! You're Leon?!" Neptune asked as he heard the guy was a dude not a chick.
"Oh Leon was just a cover name I came up with see by day I'm a DJ by night I'm an information broker." Selphie said as she looked to the group. "So how can I help you all?" Selphie asked looking to her customers.
"What can you tell us about the White Fang and Roman's presence here?" Yang asked as Selphie looked.
"Well for starters Roman is a wanted criminal even in Lucis but his crimes here are mostly for smuggling illegal products, extortion, and the basic robbery. The White Fang now that one is a major thing. See the White Fang for all intents and purposes shouldn't even be in Lucis after the big reveal that the Fang was going to make a full take over on Lucis and kill off any humans or half breeds in sight they were all but banished from Menagerie and Lucis. Basically they ended up becoming scavengers in the underworld so if someone is bringing them together and in Lucis of all places it must be big. Unfortunately my sources haven't figured out why as of yet but they did find out they stopped any Dust robbery back in Vale so Vale is safe for now. Though Roman did drop by here a while back wanting to see if he can hire the local thugs around here didn't have any to spare mind you so he left after words." Selphie said as it sounded like Roman didn't hear about Leon the Big Info broker in Lucis so they were safe there.
"Don't really know what happened after that other than a White Fang Rally but since they aren't exactly on the guest lists for parents and many Faunus in Lucis for obvious reasons it shouldn't be a big one but still a big enough rally. Though it they get caught well it's their own damn fault for doing this shit anyway after Lucis arrived here." Selphie said as she relaxed on her chair.
"So you don't exactly know what he's doing?" Yang asked as Selphie then outstretched her hand expecting payment.
"Here." Gladiolus said putting Gill in her hands.
"Much obliged now then you didn't exactly here it from me since my Sources aren't exactly sure on it but they think Roman is just a pawn in a bigger game." Selphie said looking to them. "Not much to go on mind you but my sources knows for a fact Roman would never work with the White Fang unless he has something to gain from it or if he can't afford to lose." Selphie said as she looked to them. "By the look of things it looks like Roman may be getting forced into this by a bigger and stronger party. So removing him won't do anything like with a King Taijitu in Remnant cut off one head the second head calls the shots." Selphie said as that was some major useful information there. "That's all I have sorry if it's not enough but my sources aren't always able to get me full details." Selphie said as she smiled a bit.
"Thanks anyway." Gladiolus said as Selphie then smiled.
"By the way don't tell anyone I'm Leon my sources will hear and no one will find your bodies or if you want mercy I'll run your names through the mud." Selphie said as Yang was about to punch her but Gladiolus stopped her.
"Thanks we'll remember that." Gladiolus said as Selphie smiled.
"Well if you need more information look for my contacts their not hard to miss mind you, their usually at cafes, hotels, or some major public areas but don't expect freebies." Selphie said basically offering her help for a reasonable price of course.
"Noted." Yang said as that calmed her down there.
"C'mon guys." Gladiolus said as the two left the dressing room.
(In the Club)
"We get everything we need?" Neptune asked as he looked to Yang and Gladiolus.
"That and so much more." Gladiolus said as Yang smiled a bit.
"Let's hope the others are having as easy time as we are." Yang said as three left the club to meet up with them.
(Back with the Faunus Group)
The people were cheering as they Prompto, Blake, and Sun saw they were going to get caught. "What are we going to do?" Sun asked as Blake looked.
"I'm thinking." Blake said as Prompto saw a power box.
"I got an idea." Prompto said as Sun looked.
"Yeah and Roman sees us now." Sun said as Prompto smiled.
"Don't worry he can see us for now but he can't see us in the dark." Prompto said pointing to the power box before summoning his gun Photobooth. Hello there opening." Prompto said as he aimed his gun and fired at the power box causing the entire warehouse to go dark.
"Don't let them get away! UGH!" Roman yelled as he was blind and no doubt hit someone in the dark.
"Sun, Prompto the window!" Blake yelled as Prompto saw it.
"Got it!" Prompto called as the chaos was going on in the dark.
"Stop em'!" Roman yelled as soon a machine was powering up.
"Evidence sent!" Prompto called as he and Sun sent the evidence to the local Glaives in Altissia as the Paladin powered up.
(Outside)
*Insert Final Fantasy XV OST Veiled in Black
Prompto, Sun, and Blake jumped out the window and began running across the building tops of Altissia as they were making a break for it. "Run for it!" Prompto called as they were all jumping from building to building.
"It's to populated to fight him here we need an open area." Blake called as Prompto had an idea.
"I know a place the Oracles Church at the center of Altissia!" Prompto called as he pointed to the big building far ahead of them as it was the main reason that many lovers had their wedding in Altissia because there it felt like the Oracle and in turn the Astral's were blessing such a union.
"That's all great an all but you guys wouldn't happen to have, oh I don't know, some form of backup?!" Sun asked as they were running away.
"Yeah we do!" Prompto called as Blake looked.
"On it!" Blake called as she took her Scroll ready to call for help.
(With Weiss and Ignis)
As the two walk out of the elevator, they got a call on their scroll as they answer is and hear Blake's voice as she says, "Everyone! If you can hear me we need back-
Blake was interrupted with Sun screaming in the background as Weiss roll her eyes with Ignis push up his glasses as he says, "Let's give them a hand shall we?"
Soon enough the two rush out of the building to help their friends in need.
(Ruby and Noctis)
The unsaid couple held their scroll up as they hears Prompto's voice as he says, "They got a war machine thing, it's big and it's fast."
"Oh, I am not missing this!" Ruby said as she seem excited with Noctis pull on her arm as he says, "Let's go then!"
(Yang, Gladiolus, Neptune)
Yang and Gladiolus held their scrolls as they hear Sun talking as he says, "The Torchwick guy's in it! But not like, it didn't eat him-
"He Piloting it, and he also hot on our tail!" Prompto said interrupting Sun to get the idea they need help.
"I can't tell if it was Prompto fault or not," Gladiolus said out-loud as his scroll pick up on what he said as Prompto voice says, "Hey, I have nothing to do with this!"
"Where are you guys?" Yang said on her scroll and suddenly the trio Faunus came running by as Sun screaming out with a giant mech behind them across the two way down the Canals as Neptune said, "I think that was them."
"Yea, we got it!" Yang said as Gladiolus says, "Let's go after them."
"Wait! How? They are on the other side and down the canals, and… I'm not the best swimmer," Neptune said as he not saying he afraid of water.
Gladiolus at the water and saw a small boat with an engine on it, to his guess, it's an serves boat used to get around the city faster than the gondolas as he ran to it as he says, "We can take this and follow them."
The two tank fighter went to the boat and got on as Neptune look at this as he says, "Great. Just what we need, a small death trap. Maybe I can say that there not enough room and they can leave me-
"Neptune, get on already!" Gladiolus said loudly which scared Neptune a bit as he can only say in a quick motion, "Got it!"
Neptune got on as Gladiolus turn the engine with Yang untied the boat from the dock and soon enough they were off after the mech.
(The trio Faunus)
"And guys last thing meet us as the biggest building in Altissia the one where the Oracle does the whole ascension thing!" Prompto called to the scroll as they ran for it.
"You think they heard it?!" Blake asked as they ran.
"Can only hope!" Prompto called out as they ran with the mech close on their tails.
"Well we're running out of roof and road here!" Sun called as he then pointed to a water path straight to their destination.
"Ok!" Prompto began as he then jumped to the water. "Hopefully Leviathan doesn't get angry!" He called before firing a powerful Ice Bullet at the water before he took out an Ice Curative and threw it into the water creating an ice path for them. "RUN!" Prompto yelled as the trio began running as Roman was close on their tail chasing after them. As he did this the ice path was getting ruined as it seemed they mech had a hover function but no flight abilities as it wrecked the ice path behind it as Yang, Gladiolus, and Neptune came up from behind.
"We've gotta slow it down!" Yang called as the two looked to Neptune.
"Got it!" Neptune called as he put his goggles on and aimed with his gun.
(Roman)
Roman saw the alert of enemies aiming at him on the mechs controls as he pressed a button and activated a weapon.
(Yang, Neptune, and Gladiolus)
The mech opened parts of its body open before Gladiolus stepped to plate since they don't have much fighting room. "I got this!" Gladiolus called as Yang took the steering. Gladiolus with his claymore weapon swung a wide ark infused with his own aura sending a slash straight at the missiles destroying multiple at once as Yang then acted and caught a stray one before sending it at Roman which then hit him in the mech.
Neptune then pulled out his weapon and turned it into a rifle mode and began firing at the mech causing some damage before switching to his weapons naginata form and to everyone who knew his fear's shock he jumped forward no doubt adrenaline stepping in and stabbed into the mech but Roman in turn started making the mech try and shake Neptune off.
(Faunus trio)
Prompto, Sun, and Blake saw Neptune as Sun was wide eyed. "Friend of yours?" Prompto asked as Sun nodded.
"Neptune hang on!" Sun called as Prompto summoned a rifle.
"I got you covered!" Prompto called as he then aimed his weapon at the mech and fired as Sun then activated his semblance as he glow orange for a moment before two aura copy of him were made and they both went at the Paladin to get hard hits on it, but they did little damage to it as well.
Sun took a breath and then took out his weapon as he went to help his friend, Neptune was throw off as his weapon de-attach from it and throw at Sun, and soon both fell off the Water path.
Blake saw them go as Weiss voice came on her scroll saying, "Blake, I'm in position!"
"As am I!" Ignis was heard after as they
(With Gladiolus and Yang)
The two saw Weiss and Ignis riding on a summoned Nevermore as it flew around as Yang cheered at this. "Ah hell yeah Valefor has just landed!" Yang cheered seeing Weiss' summoned as it seems they intend to name every summon Yang pulled out.
(With Ignis and Weiss)
Ignis and Weiss with Pryna jumped off of Valefor allowing it to vanish as they glared at the mech as Ignis saw the resemblance it had to the ones he had read about from Eos made by Nefilheim as he and Weiss got ready as Blake and Prompto passed them. "Wait for it." Ignis said as the two held a curative in hand. "Wait for it." Ignis repeated as soon Roman was upon them. "NOW!" He called as the two then threw the curative of a fire spell mixed with a Gravity Dust as the result knocked Roman and his mech into the large church area as Noctis and Ruby were waiting there for him with Zwei also in a safe place looking ever so dopey.
Soon the rest of Teams NIGP and RWBY joined in as Noctis looked to Ruby as he nodded to her and she nodded back. "Ok everyone Freezer Burn!" Ruby called as Yang and Weiss did so while the others jumped away as Weiss froze the ground and then Yang shot a blast from Ember Celica freezing said ground creating a fog for them to hide in.
The paladin was blind and went into search mode. Everyone keep their distant and speed to confuse the paladin, as Blake ran by, the paladin turn and look to see, but couldn't find her. As everyone looked around Ruby's voice was soon heard once more. "FOXY SNIPER!" Ruby called as soon the mech was being hit by bullets from different directions as it was trying to figure out where it was coming from.
Then Yang ran by and the mech fired but missed as soon the bullets stopped as Noctis was heard next. "Royal Rose: Warp Speed!" Noctis called out as soon Versus XIII came flying at the mech where it stabbed into it and with it Noctis appeared with Ruby close behind roaring at it as Noctis switched weapons as he and Ruby hit the mech before the jumped back.
"Checkmate!" Ruby called as Noctis smirked himself.
"Specs Photo!" Noctis called as soon Weiss, Blake, Ignis, and Prompto ran in as Ignis, Weiss, and Blake began slashing at the mech with Prompto firing at said mech from a distance destroying each of its search lights blinding it even more. The mech was about to step on Blake but Noctis warped in and deflected it before he and Blake jumped back as the teams regrouped.
"Weiss! Odin Time!" Ruby called as Weiss jumped up and Roman's mech then fired at her causing her to be sent flying back as Weiss then sent two glyphs one at Blake and over it her summoning Glyph as when Odin appeared both Blake and Odin got a speed boost with them time dilution glyph just as Roman fired more missiles.
"Odin Attack!" Weiss called as Odin charged forward and with Blake destroyed all the missiles at once with slashes from their weapons blades.
"Lady Bug!" Ruby called while Odin vanished as Noctis ran after Ruby.
"Culinary Prince!" Noctis called as soon Ruby and Blake with Ignis and Noctis began hitting the mechs legs as Ruby smiled at this attack form.
"Black Rose Combo!" Ruby and Noctis both called as the mech aimed at Noctis only for him to throw his sword upward warping to where it ended up as Ruby used her Semblance with Blake aiding Ignis in jumping high.
The four then came back down and sliced off the mechs weapon and arm all before Gladiolus and Yang ran behind the mech and attacked. Yang began punching it as Gladiolus slashed at the mech with his claymore knocking it around as Roman was no doubt having a bad day in there. The Mech then jumped back with Yang on its back as Gladiolus used his claymore's flat side to block but was pushed back as his boots created sparks on the ground before the two hit a pillar creating a crater in it. The mech then produced a mechanical hand as Gladiolus caught Yang but in turn the two were both knocked back hard as they broke through the pillar.
*End OST
"Yang! Gladio!" Blake called as she sounded more concerned for Gladiolus.
"Don't worry Blake with each hit they get stronger and they both use that energy to bounce back even harder." Noctis explained as Gladiolus was getting up with Yang as Gladiolus used his claymore to help him stand back up.
"Yeah it what makes, them both special." Ruby said as Gladiolus knew how to keep a lid on his temper unlike Yang which was what made Gladiolus very deadly in this regard.
*Insert RWBY OST Die
Gladiolus shouldered his claymore as Yang turned her hands into fists as the mech then punched Yang again only for Yang to catch said arm creating a shockwave as Gladiolus only ended up with his hair and clothing being blown by the wind. Yang's hair was glowing as her eyes glowed red but Gladiolus looked to be having pebbles and rocks float around him as he opened his own eyes to reveal that his brown eyes had become forest green.
Gladiolus then roared and cut the arm clean off with his sword as he then ducked allowing Yang to grab them arm and hitting the mech with it shattering said arm into scrap metal. The mech then kicked both of them away hard as they came flying past Ruby, Blake, and Noctis.
"Bumblebee!" Ruby called as Blake then turned her weapon it a sort of boomerang form as she threw it straight at Yang who caught it as Noctis then warped to Gladiolus with Versus XIII and grabbed him before throwing him to Ignis as Ignis saw this.
"Iggy! Power Mind!" Noctis called as Ignis nodded and produced a chain dagger he saved for such an occasion as he then threw it torts Gladiolus as Prompto and Noctis then got to Ignis as they began to help him out with a Link Attack of sorts. "Come on buddy!" Prompto called as he helped Ignis with Noctis aid spin Gladiolus around as Gladio built up momentum as he use his own sword to use the air current to pick up speed.
Yang of course did the same with Blake's aid as Yang was also picking up speed herself as she used Ember Celica as soon Ignis didn't need any more help as Weiss, Ruby, Noctis, and Prompto saw what was going on as they needed more time.
"We need to slow that thing down!" Noctis called as Weiss looked.
"And how do you all propose we are going to do that?!" Ruby asked as Prompto smirked as did Ruby.
"May I say it or should you?" Ruby asked looking to Noctis.
"Both." Noctis said as Prompto looked to be jumping up and down with excitement.
"Royal Ice Flower Fox!" Ruby and Noctis called as Weiss created a glyph while Noctis and Prompto brought out their own fire arm weapons while Ruby had her Crescent Rose in position. Much like with the full Team Attack RWBY Rose Ruby was firing her weapon but with Noctis and Prompto instead of Yang and Black as Noctis inherited Royal Power added a huge bonus to it as the powerful combination of the Schnee Glyph and the Magic provided to the Kings send powerful Ice Attacks which froze huge portions of the mech freezing it in place in a way even Shiva may be prideful for.
"Duck!" Ignis called as soon Yang and Gladiolus were released as Yang went flying at the Mech where she then punched it in the side creating a huge dent as it went flying while Gladiolus came in himself and cut the mech in two separating the head from the legs as Roman was knocked to the ground by this while the rest of the mech fell apart.
"Just had this, cleaned." Roman said as he dusted off his suit only to see Yang and Gladiolus glaring at him. Yang then launched a blast while Gladiolus took the window and used his sword to send it at Roman like a baseball only for the due colored ice cream like girl from the rally to appear and with her hands knocked it away as it deflected and hit the ground not too far away. "Lady's, Gentleman, and Ice Queen (Weiss: Hey!)." Roman said as the two teams regrouped and Roman waved the two teams off. "Always pleasure." Roman said as he saluted/waved as he then turned to Neo. "Neo if you would?" He asked as Neo then winked at Noctis a sultry wink of all people before bowing. Yang roared as everyone had weapons ready and both Gladiolus and Yang charged forward with Noctis warping to hit Roman only for when Yang hit Neo both her and Roman shattered like glass showing the two were decoys.
*End OST
An aircraft engine was heard as the two teams looked and saw Neo and Roman in an airship as they flew off as Yang glared as did Gladiolus. "So I guess he got a new henchman." Yang said as the two teams looked before Weiss spoke up.
"Yeah, I guess she really made our plans..." Weiss began before turning to her team. "Fall Apart?" Weiss said before she giggled but no one was laughing.
"No. Just, no." Yang said as Weiss glared as Gladiolus glared also.
"Really no I don't think I can handle a third set of bad puns Yang and Prompto are already pushing it." Gladiolus said as Prompto glared.
"My puns aren't that bad." Prompto said as they began to walk away as they all still needed to check into the hotel the Dance would take place in.
"What? But you, and Prompto do it like every five minutes!" Weiss said as Yang looked.
"There's a time and a place for jokes." Yang said as Prompto then jumped in also.
"So leave it to the professionals." Prompto said as Weiss glared.
"Was this not it?" She asked lifting up her hand to make a point.
"No it just wasn't very good." Yang said as she and Blake walked away.
"Well at lease I'm trying." Weiss said as Ignis had his own quip.
"At least it was better then what you two may concoct." Ignis said as that was funny.
"He's not wrong." Noctis said as Blake chuckled a bit.
"I think we all have you two pegged." Blake said as it seems the teams out number Prompto and Yang on Weiss's pun being funnier then Yang and Prompto's as the dogs rejoined their masters as they walked away.
That was when Ruby noticed two people missing. "Wait, where's son and that other guys?" Ruby asked as she noticed they were missing.
"I haven't seen them since they were knocked off the bridge." Noctis said as he wondered where they were.
(Meanwhile with Sun and Neptune)
At a noddle stand named "A Simple Wok Noodle Stand Lucis," which had the Lucis symbol on its sign also Sun and Neptune were enjoying some, noodles as their weapons were leaning on the chairs next to them. "They're probably fine, right?" Neptune asked as they ate.
"Probably." Sun said as they ate at least until Sun realized something. "Wait dude! You conquered your fear of water!" Sun cheered as Neptune then realized what had happened from the club to here and did the only thing he knew to celebrate.
He screamed like a little girl when it occurred to him and then passed out like a bitch. "Well... it was great while it lasted." Sun said as at least he hoped Sun wouldn't use umbrellas while he baths later.
(Scene Break at the Leville with NIGP and RWBY)
The two teams arrived at the Leville Hotel and rung the bell surprising the front desk manager seeing the two teams exhausted just as Ignis cleared his throat. "I believe we have reservations as Beacon Academy Students for Teams NIGP and RWBY." Ignis said as they all needed a rest for the next few days as Saturday was the Chocobo Moogle Carnival and later that night the dance.
"Then we at the Leville welcome the Students of Beacon Academy in Vale." The Manager said as they luckily had their bags with them as it was no doubt to the manager the two teams had a long day today.
