Slayer: Ah crap…
Yang: So what's going on here?
Ruby: Oh just doing the intro. In fact could you do the disclaimer dear sister?
Yang: Sure! Slayer Infinium owns nothing except OCs and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners.
Ichigo: I'm surprised you were able to do that so professionally.
Yang: Hey!

Chapter Six: Love and Peace!
Seven years after Neos's arrival, Four years after Zach's first incident, first weekend of Beacon.
Location the Academy
The weekend couldn't have come faster for Blake and Zach. Not only did they have to hide the date from Yang, they also had to decide on what to wear. Blake decided on wearing a black summer dress with knee high boots and purple tights. She also wore a black coat that was the same as Weiss's except that hers was buttoned up. Zach decided on wearing black slacks with a white dress shirt. However he still wore his coat and boots, and brought his pistol just in case. Zach went ahead to the rendezvous a half hour early so he could greet her properly. Blake left ten minutes before the time and snuck out of the building. Unfortunately Yang managed to catch a glimpse of her leaving the hallway. Curious she followed her and saw that she met up with Zach. Looking at them she gave a devious smile and called up everyone on their scrolls even Neos.
"Hey sis what's up?" Neos was looking a bit worried at her devious face and wondered if she found out about Zach and Blake's outing.
"Guess what! I saw Zach and Blake leave for a date!" Neos groaned because he could tell where this was going. Ruby however squealed happily, and Weiss gave a happy smile.
"So I want everyone to meet me by the landing port." Weiss and Ruby looked at her confused. "Oh don't give me that look we're going to follow them and see what they do." Weiss looked upset at the suggestion.
"I really don't think they'd be happy about us doing that Yang! Besides I'm sure they'll have a fun time without us spying on them."
"Oh come on ice queen, don't you want to see if they'll be happy? Don't you want to see what your oldest friend planned for their date? Come on I know you want to." Yang was right about her wanting to and her resolved started to waver. "Besides I'm sure you'll find out more about them. Aren't you curious about how they met or why they seem to like each other so much?" Weiss finally gave in, she was indeed curious about that since he never mentioned her before. Neos knew he would have to play damage control and spoke to Ruby.
"Hey Ruby I think we should go along as well. But only to make sure nothing happens with the others."
"Yeah you're probably right." Neos nodded his head.
"Yeah I'll bring Rosa and ED'E; they'll be able to track the two of them better."
"Alright! Let's all meet up now!" Everyone agreed and hung up. Neos who was still in his room called out to Rosa and ED'E.
"Hey guys we're going out!"

Location city of Vale.
Blake and Zach were walking down a street to a familiar Café which would be their first stop on their date. Their arms were intertwined and they were talking about how they first met. Excluding any sensitive details just in case someone over heard them. Being distracted as they were they weren't aware of the six individuals that were following them. At that moment in time in another dimension someone said a few things. Then Zach gave a very loud sneeze.
"Hey are you okay? That sounded kind of bad." Zach sniffed and waved off Blake's concern.
"Don't worry I think someone's just talking about me." She laughed when he said that.
"Do you actually believe in such things?" Zach rubbed his head sheepishly. His face was now embarrassed.
"To be honest I actually sort of do. But that doesn't mean I believe all superstitions just some." Blake laughed at his embarrassment. As for those following, they had to try hard not to laugh as well and get themselves caught. Yang started whispering to everyone.
"You hear that? I told you we'd find some things out about them. Still even I didn't expect that Zach believed in such things." They all laughed quietly and went back to stalking… I mean observing them. However as they passed an alley they were all startled by a voice.
"What are you guys doing?" Startled they all turned around to see an orange haired boy their age. Zach and Blake stopped and started to turn around at hearing his voice. Quickly they grabbed him and covered his mouth to muffle his protests, while dragging him into the nearby alley.
"Huh that's strange I could have sworn I heard something." After saying that Zach let out his senses in order to see if they were being followed. Luckily for the group of six, now seven Neos was able to hide all of their aura signatures. "Well let's continue apparently nothing was there." Blake nodded her head and they continued on their way. Yang peeked around the corner and saw that they didn't come to investigate. Everyone sighed in relief, then she noticed the guy who she was holding onto started to struggle even more and she dropped him. Ichigo started coughing and gasping for air. Yang looked at him apologetically.
"Sorry about that but we couldn't let ourselves be discovered." Ichigo's scowl returned to his face and he got up.
"What's the big idea?! Is it normal around here to almost choke someone to death for asking a question!" The others had the decency to look ashamed while Yang got angry.
"Hey I said I was sorry! Can't you just let it go?!" Ichigo's left eye started twitching.
"Are you for real? You drag someone into an alley while choking them and you expect them to just let it go? What kind of logic is that?!" The two started arguing and were close to coming to blows when Ruby intervened.
"Please stop fighting! Yang apologize to… Um what's your name?" Looking at her Ichigo sighed and crossed his arms.
"Ichigo Kurosaki its nice meet you all." Ruby nodded her head.
"Well I'm Ruby Rose, now apologize to Ichigo Yang and everyone start over deal?" Ichigo sighed and held out his hand to the blond brawler, he agreed partially because Ruby was right but also because she reminded him of Yuzu. Yang still looked angry but still shook his hand anyway for her younger sister sake.
Ruby adopted a big smile on her face while Ichigo went back to his normal scowl; instead of his angry one. The difference between the two is slight but that fact was lost on him. After pulling their hands apart Ichigo decided to get back to the matter at hand.
"So will you guys now tell me why all of you acted like stalkers?" At this everyone started looking at each other warily because it was kind of an accurate statement. Rosa sensing something familiar and homely coming from Ichigo went up to him and started to rub his leg like a cat. Looking down he chuckled while bending down and petting her on her head.
"If you can't answer me about the stalking at least tell me about this cute thing here." Everyone looked relieved because that was something they could talk about without being awkward. However everyone decided to look at Neos who was the current expert on void lizards.
"Alright then I'll tell you as I run damage control on these guy's stalking." Everyone started protesting but he just ignored them and told Ichigo exactly what he told Zach. After which his face took on a questioning look. "What I don't understand is why Rosa here seems to like you so much. Even though she's more outgoing than other void lizards she should still be wary of new people."
Ichigo ended up debating on whether or not he should tell them about being a voidwalker.
Hey Zangetsu you think we should tell them? "It's up to you Ichigo though personally I think they'll be able to help us."All right then I think I will but I won't tell them everything.
"They reason why she likes me so much is actually rather simple. You said she's from the void right?" Neos nodded his head and motioned for him to continue. "Well I'm what's called a voidwalker, someone who has powers over the void." There was a collective gasp from everyone but Neos, whom had only narrowed his eyes and moved his hand to his sword. Ichigo noticed that and decided to explain further.
"Listen I'm not here to harm anyone, besides we've just met and I had no idea who you all were until now. In fact I still don't know all of your names, plus my powers aren't that grand. I just have some interesting abilities none of them earth shattering. Plus if I wanted to hurt you I would've done it while I was arguing with Yang." Neos decided he had a point and removed his hand from his sword handle. However he was still suspicious but thought it best to give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides Rosa seemed to like him so that's good.
"Alright then but try anything and I'll cut you down. So you know me, Ruby, Yang, and Rosa so let's introduce the rest of our group." Neos then put a hand on ED'E and introduced him first. "This little guy is ED'E an eyebot, eyebot's are pretty much scouts and recorders. In fact ED'E is recording this entire conversation." ED'E gave a few beeps that Ichigo interpreted as a hello, Ichigo nodded his head and turned towards the white haired girl.
"And you are miss?" Weiss huffed at the fact that there seemed to be more and more people who had no idea who she was. Ichigo however inwardly sighed at the fact that she seemed to be a brattier version of Byakuya. The captain of squad six back in the soul society.

Location soul society
Byakuya sneezed quite hard and decided that someone must've been talking about him. He figured it was probably someone with orange hair. He then swore that he'd pay him back for any comments the next they met.

Location Vale
All of the sudden Ichigo felt a shiver go down his spine. But decided to ignore it, looking at those in front of him he could quite easily compare all of them to his other friends. However he was still waiting for the white haired girl's name. Weiss folded her arms and turned away before answering him.
"My name is Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust company (A/N is it company or corporation?) Ichigo having dealt with people with her attitude beforehand simply nodded his head towards her. It's easier to say nothing and end the conversation with a person like that, than to keep it going and blow it out of proportions. He decided to take a look at their attire and noticed that they all seemed armed, even Ruby. It took a bit to connect the dots but he realized these were all probably Beacon students.
He decided to ask them outright seeing how he still needed to see this Ozpin guy. "Hey I'm been wondering do all of you go to Beacon?" Weiss puffed her chest with pride before answering him.
"Yes actually we are some of the select few to go to the prestigious Beacon Academy." Weiss continued to look at him waiting for some form of acknowledgement for such an accomplishment. Ichigo instead turned towards Ruby while smiling.
"Wow you must be pretty good to get in then huh Ruby?"
Weiss let out an audible "HEY!" At being ignored but everyone let her be, in all honesty it was starting to become a habit. Still Ruby beamed at his praise and nodded her head furiously.
"Yeah! I managed to get in by stopping a robbery! Though Neos and our friend Zach helped out to, which is how they got in as well." Ichigo nodded his head but felt like he heard the name Zach from somewhere. It was the same way with his hollow and Zangetsu. Though annoyed by it he didn't let it show.
"You know I was actually hoping to have a meeting with Headmaster Ozpin but unfortunately I don't know how to get a hold of him. I don't want to really join the academy but I need to speak with him nonetheless."
"Sorry Ichigo but I can't really set up a meeting for you. Do the rest of you know how to?" Ruby looked around to see a shaking of heads from Weiss and Yang. However Neos raised his hand.
"Umm I might actually be able to. In fact if you decide to head back to the academy with us I can easily help you meet Ozpin." Everyone looked at him surprised but Weiss was the first one to recover.
"How can you set up a meeting so easily with the headmaster? Also you should address him with more respect than that!" Neos narrowed his eyes at her and she stopped talking and instead swallowed nervously.
"I can set up a meeting Schnee because I've known him the longest and my mother is Glynda Goodwitch. Or have you forgotten that little detail?" Neos's voice sounded very irritated right now, not that anyone could blame him for being frustrated with Weiss. How Zach managed to train her without strangling her would always be a constant mystery to them. This human certainly can get on my nerves. Neos blinked and started to worry, Human where did that come from? Ruby noticed his worried look underneath his angry face but decided to ask later. Yang all of the sudden perk up and yelled a bit.
"CRAP! We totally forgot about Zach and Blake! Hurry we need to run after them, ED'E, Rosa start tracking them!" Weiss and Ruby also adopted the same look while their two un-humanoid companions started to work. Neos quickly turned towards Ichigo.
"Sorry but it seems for now that you'll have to follow us around for a bit. I promise I'll set up a meeting as soon as we get back to Beacon. For now though I could use some help making sure those three don't ruin something important." Neos then took off after the others with Ichigo not to far behind.
"Hey what are you guys doing? I heard that you're following this Zach, and Blake but why? You also said they might ruin something important and something about damage control." Neos adopted an embarrassed look while telling Ichigo about the date and why he was there. "You know this seems like something some of my friends would do. Don't worry I'll help with this situation trust me it wouldn't be the first time I've done this."
Neos threw Ichigo an appreciative smile. "Yeah thanks dust knows I'll need the help."

With Blake and Zach
Unaware of their current stalkers… I mean observers… Oh forget it the others are definantly stalkers. Zach and Blake were heading to Mikes Café, Bakery, and Sandwich shop. The very first place they ever had lunch together at. When they entered Julie looked at them and gasped, it may have been a while but she still remembered the adorable cat eared faunus.
"Blake is that you?" Blake blushed a bit and looked down at the floor but nodded her head. Julie beamed a bright smile at her and scooped her up in a hug. "Oh my dust! It's been so long and you look amazing by the way. You definantly filled out in the right places if you know what I mean." Blake's face turned as red as Ruby's cloak. While Zach also turned a bit red, however seeing Blake in distress over Julie's affections he gave a loud cough. Her attention turned towards him.
"Julie I think Blake's a little uncomfortable could you please put her down?" The blue eyed woman blinked at looked down at Blake's face and chuckled awkwardly while putting her down. That's when it clicked in her head that Zach was also there.
"Wow Zach so you managed to find her again and get her on a date? I must say you work fast." Zach sighed but continued to smile while rubbing his head.
"Yeah to be honest we managed to meet again during the initiation over at Beacon." Julie's eyes widened as she remembered an important fact.
"That's right! You made it into Beacon! Well congratulations! As a reward from your big sis your meal is free of charge!" Zach was about to protest but the look he got from her pushed it back down into the deepest parts of his throat.
"Fine you win; I just don't want you to get in trouble." Julie smiled at the fact that he was worried about her.
"Aww are you worried about your pseudo big sister losing her job? Don't worry I've worked here seven years and I've haven't been fired yet! So if they were going to do it they would have done it by now. So anyway I'll grab the menus and take you to your usual spots." Saying that she turned around and grabbed said menus then walked out to Zach's usual table outside. Following her were Blake and Zach who took their seats.
"Anyway you know how we work so just holler when you need something." She turned to walk away but paused and looked back at them. "Oh and Blake it is really nice to see you again, take care of Zach for me would ya?" Saying here piece she finally headed back to the register. Leaving the couple behind a bit embarrassed yet refreshed.
"You were right back then she is enthusiastic. However I still like her, she's rather kind." Blake then looked at Zach with an amused smile. "By the way what did she mean about big sis?" Zach groaned and tried to control the blush that was creeping onto his face.
"She was the first nice person I met after the um… Incident four years ago. I was still young and called her big sis because of the way she treated me. She pretty much became the closest thing to family I have after that." His embarrassed look disappeared as it turned to one of happiness. "She didn't care what I was and didn't care that I had killed some men with my other persona. She just accepted me and treated me with kindness. The name basically stuck after that." Blake smiled kindly at him and gripped his hand.
"Despite everything you've been through it's nice that you have some good memories." Her face then looked sad as she turned away. "I just wished that you had more." Zach rolled his eyes and started laughing which irritated Blake. "Hey I was being serious about this!" Zach held up his hands in defeat and stopped laughing but his smile was still there.
"I know and I'm thankful truly. But I have many good memories, in fact one of my favorites happened to take place right here, with a really cute girl." Blake's face turned playful.
"Really and what did this girl look like?" Zach grinned as he began describing her.
"She had wavy black hair and amber eyes. Her eyes are cat like in nature and she had adorable ears. I must say she was rather cute back then but now…" Blake prompted him to continue while her face started to turn even redder.
"Now she's sitting in front of me and has become rather beautiful and I'm happy to finally be with her again." Zach rubbed his thumb over the hand that he was still holding. "Blake I'm glad I was able to meet you again, I'm also glad that you agreed to come with me here today. After all you yourself have had a tough childhood. So if I can brighten your life like you do mine I'll be happy." Zach admits it he's head over heels for the cat eared faunus. He doesn't know why but he just feels it and he isn't about to let anyone else take her. Blake was close to crying with happiness but managed to hold it in it would be rather messy if she did cry after all.
She didn't know what she did to deserve his kindness. Back when they first met he had gotten her a book and paid for a nice meal. However he also inspired her to leave the white fang soon after. He opened her eyes to what it was truly becoming and left before they became a full blown terrorist group. Still here they are now with him still being as kind as ever. She gripped his hand tighter while moving her chair right next to his.
"You know I want to make you happy as well. I don't know what it is but I truly feel safe around you. So please don't ever leave me." Blake leaned into him as he started to pet her like he's always done, this time she didn't care if she was slightly purring.
"Don't worry Blake I promise I won't. In return you can't leave me deal?" Blake closed her eyes she nuzzled in closer.
"I won't either I promise." She reluctantly left his embraced as she decided that they needed to order something. "Despite how much I'm enjoying this moment we came here to eat so let's order something." Zach nodded his head and they both picked up their menus. However they were still rather close together.
"I can agree with you besides we can continue during the movie I plan on taking us to." Blake gave him a surprised look but then turned playful.
"So what movie are we seeing? Because if you expect us to continue it better be a rather nice movie." Zach chuckled and put his menu down.
"I was thinking whatever movie you want to watch would be fine." Blake also smiled and put down her menu while Zach took that as his cue to call the waiter.
"Well then whatever movie I want." She paused as she drank a sip from her cup of water. She then turned to give Zach a serious look. "That's awfully generous, however I buy the food this time got it?" Zach gave a nervous laugh but nodded his head and Blake's face turned happy again.

With the stalkers plus one
It was at this time that seven individuals ran up to hide behind the bushes to the far right of the Café. Which means they managed to miss the snuggling from earlier much to Zach's and Blake's luck.
Peeking over Yang managed to catch a look at the couple. Ruby getting impatient started asking what she was seeing.
"They're not doing much but Blake is once again eating a tuna fish sandwich. They both appear to also have some sort of tea, and Zach's eating a ham sandwich. Besides that their awfully close to each other but not actually talking. However it's quite possible that we managed to miss something when we lost track of them. For that we can blame carrot top." Once again being called that name Ichigo's eyes started twitching. But before he could say anything though Ruby came to his defense.
"You really shouldn't be so mean Yang! Besides what would Nora do if she heard you say that?" Ruby was still whispering so they weren't heard, but Yang turned pale as she remembered their orange haired bundle of destruction. When calling Ichigo a carrot top she had accidentally insulted Nora as well. She was just glad Nora wasn't around to hear it. Ichigo gave Neos a questioned look while he mouthed a "tell you later". Ichigo just nodded and peeked back over the bush.
He saw that it was the same couple he saw walking down the street before. He could correctly assume the white haired guy was Zach and the black haired girl was Blake. However for some reason Blake reminded him of Yoruichi and gave an involuntary shiver at the thought. However he was still able to see her bow twitching a bit but decided to ignore it. He turned back to the others who were also now peeking over, it really was lucky that the two they were following were distracted or else they would all be caught easily. Well except for him of course, being a complete stranger it would rather easy to play innocent. This was in a case rather true, although he was still doing it.
Ichigo faced palmed as he realized he's been corrupted by everyone around him. Before becoming a soulreaper he would never do anything like this, but here he was doing something that his more eccentric friends would do. Yes he chalked it up to them for corrupting him. It most definantly wasn't his fault whatsoever. All of said people sneezed at the same time. It was most definantly one of those days.
"Yeah just keep telling yourself that king." Shut up you don't have a say in the mater. Ignoring his hollows rants he continued to observe the ones before him. He saw that Zach was finished first and was now for a lack of a better word petting Blake as she finished up her sandwich. Her face was filled with a lot of joy for such a simple sign of affection. Yang was trying her hardest to keep her laughs in at the scene in front of her. Weiss was a little bit better but was still trying to keep from laughing. Ruby though just thought it was cute, while Neos thought it was strangely cat like of Blake. Some thoughts finally clicked in his head as he connected the dots of her twitching bow, cat like eyes, her love of fish, and her purring from her head being petted.
Wow she's a cat faunus, I can't believe I didn't notice. Me of all people! So much for dragon enhanced senses and mind. He looked around but no seemed to notice, Ichigo was the closet but still seemed a bit off. Zach probably knew since he was petting her right now, at this moment, in time. He figured Blake had a reason for not telling them and decided to not bring in up until she did. When Blake finished her sandwich they both got up and left to go back inside the Café. He thought they were more than likely paying for their meal. As they left they saw a woman in what he guessed was the female uniform waving them off, they too were waving back to her.
All of them (minus Ichigo for obvious reasons) notice them heading towards the movie theater. Following them Neos's hunch turned out to be right and they ended up at the movies. They ended up getting tickets for the *Hunters Assemble movie* personally he's also been wanting to see it. So they themselves bought tickets as ED'E used some Stealthboys to get him and Rosa inside the movie theater.
Luckily Blake and Zach chose seats closer up allowing them to pick seats in the back. Ruby set next to him while Weiss and Ichigo sat between Yang and them, something he was thankful for since Ruby started snuggling with him half way through the movie. For some reason both Ichigo and Neos felt the movie was similar to something else, but had no idea why seeing as they haven't seen the movie before. During it Blake leaned into Zach and snuggled into his chest as he continued to pet her. This still amused the other two IE Weiss and Yang, but Ruby was too focused on the movie to care.
He still felt kind of bad for Ichigo although he seemed to be enjoying the movie as well. Although I might've helped that he paid for Ichigo's ticket seeing how he didn't have any cash. He however couldn't help but worry that Yang might turn around and see him with her sister like this at any moment. Sighing he resigned himself to an early grave. However he was lucky and the movie ended before he could be blasted full of buckshot. For Ichigo the movie turned out both educational and entertaining as he now knew more about faunus and concluded that Blake was indeed one.
The group waited until they exited the movie before leaving. Yang however had seen enough and told them that they should get going before they got to Beacon before them. Everyone agreed and started their way back.

With dragon and cat
Zach could finally breathe easy knowing that they weren't being followed. He noticed his so called friends as soon as they made it to the Café. Still he didn't want to ruin this amazing day by bothering with them. He figured he could throw Neos to the hounds so to speak to get them off their backs. Neos really shouldn't have taught him about his sensory link with Rosa yet. With it he could see Ruby snuggling with Neos and could easily tell Yang about it.
"So you know they've finally left. I still wonder how they found out about this." He looked to see if Blake had any idea how.
Blake nodded her head in agreement. "Yes they really shouldn't have found out, one of them was probably lucky and spotted us. If it was Yang she probably instigated the whole thing. So mind if I stay in your room until they fall asleep?"
Zach laughed a bit at how well she already knew her teammates. "Sure just don't fall asleep while you're there it might be bad in the morning if they don't see you in bed." Blake nodded her head in agreement and they walked on in comfortable silence. Currently they were just heading for a small walk in the park after which they would return back to Beacon. It wasn't an overly large park just a small one with a singular fountain of large size.
Said fountain did have some benches that were open so they decided to sit for the time being. Today at least for Zach went pretty much perfectly barring the others of course. No doubt he'd have to give them a talking to for corrupting Rosa. The void lizard was still young and impressionable, and he didn't want her developing bad habits because of them. On that note keep her away from Nora. He really didn't need to have Rosa think it was alright to go around breaking peoples legs.
Choosing to refocus on the person snuggling with him he started to do what she enjoyed most. Which is scratching her concealed ears, to him it was certainly a shame that she chose to hide them. But he could understand why, after all he wasn't announcing to the world his heritage. Then again he wasn't hiding it either, he just looked more human than anything else after all. Looking around he saw no one and it was starting to get dark.
Taking a deep breath he stopped what he was doing and Blake looked confused. "Is something wrong?" He shook his head steeling himself for what he was about to ask.
"Blake no one is really around and its dark so… You know you can take off your bow, if you want to of course." (A/N ha! Some of you thought I was talking about something else. Wait this means I did to… darn it!) Blake looked around nervously while biting her lower lip trying to decide what to do. Hesitantly she nodded her head and straightened up. Slowly she took off her bow, to Zach she looked scared and insecure, and he could also see her trembling a little. Seeing this he used whatever shadows he could get and hid them from view. He then pulled Blake into a tight embrace which she accepted. Her eyes were closed but she stopped trembling and just sat there letting him resume scratching her now exposed ears.
She was happy because at this moment she didn't need to hide from the white fang or anyone else. Even though she couldn't see them she felt Zach's shadows shielding them from view. His aura was defiantly *dark* but it wasn't oppressive or violent, in fact to her it was warm and protective. She liked it and knew that he would always keep her safe. Blake decided on doing something and her face turned red. She straightened up and turned to face Zach. He looked at her confused because her face was quite red.
"Blake are you…" He was cut off as she kissed him, not on the forehead like he did, but on the mouth. Surprised he still accepted it, it wasn't too deep and lasted only a few seconds. But to them it didn't matter they didn't say anything but went back to their previous positions. However after a few more minutes Zach decided he needed to say something.
"I… love you Blake." She wrapped her arms around him and embraced him harder.
"I love you to." With that they were content to just sit as the moon shone overhead.

Ichigo and co
The ex soulreaper looked at the night sky and grimaced. During his time in the woods he didn't really bother looking at the moon since he was busy surviving. Now he could only hope that whatever broke the moon didn't come to attack him anytime soon. Or at all for that matter! Still he had to wonder what could've happened to it. After all laws of physics say it should be relatively impossible for it to be like it is.

Eight thousand years ago different world and time.
Bladedancer was rather annoyed nothing was working against the monster he was fighting now. What was he fighting you might ask? Well it was a giant planet eating monster that looked like some sort of flesh planet. At the moment it was his job to try and stall it with his magical psionic powers. It wasn't working it was just too big.
"What are those idiots doing!" Annoyed he went back to the planet he was protecting and went to the place that was working on two weapons. One was a giant nuclear war head. The other was some type of fridge filled with pop rocks and soda. Needless to say everyone was betting on the nuke.
"What is taking so long! Nothing I can do can stall that thing!" One of the scientists ran up to him.
"Sorry sir but the monster is jamming our launching mechanics and we can't get a clean bead on it." Bladedancer grumbled and pushed right past him going to the launching terminal for the nuke.
"SIR! Even at this close range a manual fire could miss!" Bladedancer put his hand to his chin in thought.
"Hmm… You know what I don't care!" With that he fired the bomb and it missed literally by an inch. Bladedancer's eye started twitching as he walked up to the fridge. Aiming he fired it, and this time it went right into the monsters mouth. It then proceeded to explode, making everyone cheer but then scream in horror as pieces of it fell down towards them. Bladedancer could only watch as he wondered where the nuke went.

Current time with Ichigo
Yep how it happened will always be a mystery for the orange haired man. As it was for most of Remnant seeing how the destruction of part of the moon caused a small apocalypse but whatever. Currently he and Neos were walking towards the headmasters office. They were talking about some of the classes that the school provided and about some of the teachers. Finally the doors to the headmasters office opened up. Inside he saw a woman with blond hair and a stern look on her face, along with a man with white hair. The man he assumed was Ozpin while the blond haired woman was most likely Glynda Neos's mother. She definantly seemed angry at the situation.
Glynda looked at Ichigo then turned towards her son. "Neos I hope you have a good reason for bringing this boy here. We both know that initiation is over and we aren't accepting any more students." Neos was about to say something but Ozpin cut him off.
"It's fine Glynda Neos already told me that this young man here has no intention of joining. He just wants to talk, what he wants to talk about though is not something I know." Ozpin turned his gaze towards the orange haired teen. His gaze eerily reminded Ichigo of Kisuke's gaze when he found something interesting. Lying to someone like that would not work so he hesitantly began to explain his situation.
"Well you see I won't know if you'll believe me or not but I'm actually not from here. And no I don't mean from Vale or any other kingdom, I mean I'm not from this dimension." Everyone's eyes widened a bit after hearing this statement. Well it seems I'm not the only one, now if only I could remember everything. Seeing their looks Ichigo rubbed his head. "Yeah I know what you're thinking and I'm not crazy." Ozpin recovered and chuckled a bit at that statement.
"Well actually I for one believe along with Neos it seems like." This time it was Ichigo's turn to look at him strangely. "Oh don't worry we're not crazy either it's just you're not our first visitor to this dimension." Ichigo looked relieved after hearing that.
"Thank goodness, and here I was wondering if I would be stuck here forever. So is there a way for me to talk with him so I can get home?" At this everyone grimaced and Glynda and Ozpin looked at Neos.
"Well you see I'm actually the dimensional traveler. Well me and ED'E but that's a moot point. However when I got here seven years ago I don't know how but I lost all my memories. And yes that includes how to travel to different dimensions."
Ichigo gave him a sympathetic look. "Dude seriously?" Neos just nodded his head. "Wow sorry to hear it. Wait a minute if you're from a different world than why do you call Glynda…" He stopped when he saw her glare at him. "I mean professor Goodwitch your mother?" Said professor stopped glaring and decided to pick up the story.
"Well after he came we found him hurt and took him to a hospital. The schools nursing facilities to be specific, when he woke up with no memories we didn't really know what to do with him. So I decided to adopt him, really it was thanks to ED'E that we found him." Ichigo nodded his head in understanding, now it was Ozpins turn to ask a question.
"How about you young man do you have any family?"
"Yeah I have twin younger sisters and an insane father. Oh don't give me that look he is insane, every morning he wakes me up by trying to kick me in the face. And every time I just toss him out the window the three of us were thinking of taking him to a psychiatrist. But then we decided we'd feel bad for them and left it at that." Neos couldn't help but snort a bit while trying to suppress his laughter. Ozpin just had an amused smile while Goodwitch seemed to be staring at him with pity.
"I truly feel sorry for you. Any way we might not be able to send you back but we can send a message for you." Ichigo's eyes lit up with hope.
"Really?" Glynda nodded her head while smiling.
"Of course in fact you're right on time. We were actually going to have a small chat with the person that will be delivering your message." Neos's face turned into an evil looking smile. The voidwalker in the room could only be wondering what said person had done.
"Ok… so how long before he can get here?" Neos answered him a bit cryptically.
"Oh he'll be along shortly for now how bout you tell us how you got here in the first place?" Ichigo than explained to the best of his ability his world and the method of how he made it to this one. During the conversation Ozpins eyes turned rather serious.
"So you don't know who these being are, you just know that they'll be sending someone to test two individuals and yourself. Does that about sum up why you're here?" Ichigo nodded his head while Ozpins mental gears started turning. He was trying to figure out just who was being tested and he came to only one conclusion.
"Well I think that for the time being you should join team Mercenary at my school. Luckily that team includes Neos and it's just a two man team at the moment." Glynda was about to protest but the look in Ozpins eyes told her to do it later. Neos however looked rather happy that he would be getting such a powerful member on their team.
"Well it's nice to know we'll have more than just two people. Anyway welcome to the team Ichigo." Neos stuck out his hand smiling while Ichigo grabbed it and shook it.
"Yeah thanks for having me, now about contacting my family?" Just when he said that a green pentagram in a circle appeared in the middle of the room causing him to step back a few feet.
"Don't worry he just arrived." What popped out of the floor was certainly one of the strangest creatures he had ever seen, and he had seen some pretty odd creatures. He was even more surprised that it spoke although it sounded rather nervous.
"H-hey guys wh-whats going on with all of y-you?" Neos and Glynda gave him evil looks that definantly made it seem that they were related by blood. Neos cracked his hands while Glynda got out her riding crop. Needless to say Ichigo would be having nightmares for a quite some time as he heard Raze'thur screams.

Location team Mercenaries room
It was official the date was pretty much perfect for the likes of them and now they were officially a couple. Walking into the room Blake let Rosa jump into her arms while walking over to the table. Sitting down Rosa just sat in her lap like some house cat. Which made it pretty ironic considering what Blake was, Zach watched the interaction with a smile on his face as he went to make some dinner for the three of them. Today he was going to be making baked salmon with fried rice, and a nice salad. In all honesty it seemed like a good way to end the day.
Still he thought something was a little strange, ever since he kissed her he could feel her emotions and presence clearer than how he could before. He asked Blake and she said she could also sense him in the same way. With some trying they were able to block each other off but decided that they liked the closeness of whatever was going on. They figured it had something to do with Zach's heritage but seeing that he had no memories of most of his life… they just decided to go with it until it proved to be something bad.
After they were done eating Blake went into the bathroom to change into the pajamas she brought over earlier. As she walked out they both heard something that sounded like someone screaming in pain. However it didn't sound like it was the type of pain that was caused by malicious intent. It sounded more like someone was being punished for doing something incredibly stupid. So they decided to just ignore it, thinking on what to do Blake got out the Balance of the Souls book and sat down on his bed and waved him over.
Zach smiled at her. "Well is it time for me to actually see if the book is any good?" Blake gave him a pout that he found adorable. Walking over he sat next to her while Rosa jumped up and sat across both their laps. Both smiling they got into comfortable positions with Zach putting his left arm around Blake while still using it to hold up the book along with his right hand. Blake was stroking the void lizard who was purring while leaning into Zach. When everyone was settled in Zach started to read the book out loud, for both Rosa and Blake to hear.
They were found in this position three hours later by Neos and Ichigo who entered. Zach looked up from the book and made a shushing sound while looking at Ichigo in confusion. During their time reading Blake and Rosa had both fallen asleep and he didn't feel like waking her just yet. Neos gave Zach a smirk as he saw the scene before him while Ichigo looked a little sheepish for intruding. Although he did recognize the two as the ones they were stalking earlier in the day.
Neos however was still able to speak quietly enough so he wouldn't wake the two sleeping. "Well isn't someone a bit cozy today? Now what exactly did you two do that has gotten yourselves so close?" Despite saying those things he was just trying to throw him off so he didn't figure out they were following them earlier. This time Zach smirked and quietly closed the book, and set it down on his night stand he had gotten earlier in the week. Neos looked at him confused as to why he seemed to be so calm about the current situation.
"Oh we went on a date today but I'm sure you lot knew all about that don't you." Ichigo and Neos froze up a bit.
"Whatever do you mean? We were hanging out with the rest of team Rwby and ED'E." Zach sighed and used his shadows to create a hammer which he used to hit Neos over the head with. Neos was about to cry out in pain when more shadows covered his mouth muffling him.
"Neos… If you want to sneak up on me than I suggest you don't bring Rosa next time. After all we can share our sight and I constantly use that to check up on her. So yeah I knew you were following us, I also know you dragged the guy next to you along for the ride." His face than turned evil as he let go of Neos's mouth. "I also know what Yang would say if I told her what you and Ruby were up to during the movie." As he heard this Neos turned paler than Weiss and started begging for forgiveness while Ichigo just apologized and introduced himself.
At which point Neos stopped groveling and they both started to explain the situation. Zach nodded his head in understanding.
"Well it's nice to have you on board Ichigo. Now if you two are hungry there should still be some food left over from dinner. But you need to do the dishes and remember be quiet." He emphasized the quiet in that sentenced but they both nodded and went to eating it. Ichigo however noticed that Zach's cooking was either equal or better than Yuzu's. This made him want the two of them to meet so they could swap recipes. After they were done they put everything away and Neos got out a foam mattress and a spare blanket from the closet.
For now it would have to do until they got another bed in here. By this time even Zach had fallen asleep and for seeing a potential problem, Neos quickly messaged Ruby via text about their B member's current condition. Even though it was still late he still got a reply from Ruby saying thanks for letting them know. With that both he and Ichigo got ready for bed and plopped down. It had been a tiring day for everyone.

Back in the void
The outsider was watching his newly minted voidwalker and was quite pleased with his results. Still he wished that he wasn't strong armed into doing this. But the wraith of a Broodknight is nothing to scoff at even for one such as him. Turning away from he sighed while closing the viewing spell and opened up to a new one. This one had his new favorite voidwalker. The voidwalker was already strong, but was slowly going crazy with everything around him. So he decided to have fun and make him his newest form of entertainment.
He especially enjoyed his habit of attacking people while they were doing a monologue. Indeed he was as entertaining as Bladedancer void rest his soul. He sighed again as he thought of his most favorite voidspawn. Despite how he may have wanted to he couldn't have intervened in his fate. Still he could only hope that that the new team mercenary was up to par for what Maxos was planning. Looking at his new favorite he couldn't help but laugh at his solution to his current problem. Seriously he couldn't help but wonder why most others didn't do something while others were bragging or ranting, or as said earlier doing a monologue. So many problems could be fixed.
However he had must say what he did was rather "creative" who knew being a silent observer could be so entertaining.

Rwby Encyclopedia: Two
Hosted by: Shadow
We return to see the same room Shadow was in before. We zoom in on him as he coughs into his hand and starts speaking.
"Well welcome back all loyal viewers. Once again we haven't received any comments for what we want this segment to be about. So today I'll talk about Void lizards." Shadow then presses a button showing the ritual used for summoning it. "As you can see here you need a contract to be written up and signed with blood. Blood is rather binding so it is physically impossible to break. The reason for this is so others don't take advantage over the hatchlings they send." He presses on another button showing Rosa appearing for the first time.
"The reason they send in hatchlings is actually rather simple." Shadow puts his hands behind his back before continuing. "As said this allows the summoner and summoned to bond at a close emotional level. But it also allows the hatchling to understand the world it ends up in. Allowing it to learn about society's rules and other things like that." Shadow takes his hand out from behind his back as he pushes another button. This time the screen switches to Rosa running around looking at everything.
"As said most void lizards are shy and careful when first entering a world. However Rosa is basically a small copy of Ruby in lizards form. She's energetic, curious, playful, and is willing to learn while making friends." Shadow fiddles with the remote a bit and the screen splits in two showing enhanced pictures of her claws and talons. Taking out his pointer stick he points to the curve and tip of one of Rosa's claws.
"Now void lizards have incredibly sharp and strong claws and talons. They are capable of shredding through armor with ease. However that is when they are mostly older. For now they are only as sharp as butter knives." He turns off the screen before putting away his pointer stick. "Well that's it for now, remember to tell us what you want my next segment to be on. Or else we'll just keep doing random things like this. For now toodles!" Shadow than waves at the camera before the screen turns dark.
Notes
Hunters assemble: Yes this is a complete knock off of the Avengers movie bite me.
Dark: Aura has deferent affinities to them. But that doesn't mean they can't feel nice to others if there's only a will to protect in it. Such as Zach's aura which is dark but it has no malice in it.
Slayer: (Crying in shame) What have I done! Why!
Shadow: (turns to Ichigo) Umm what's his problem?
Ichigo: (Sighs) He lamenting the fact that he blew up Remnants moon for his own amusement. Now's he's wondering what made him do it.
Shadow: I see but what is the entire RWBY cast chasing after Bladedancer?
Ichigo: (turns towards scene) Ah that well it was technically Slayer who blew up the moon. But in truth it was Bladedancer who actually did the deed so their chasing him in revenge.
Shadow: (Nods head in understanding) Well I hope they stop soon or else we might have to build another house.
Ichigo: Well seeing how this won't be resolved until the next chapter let's end it here. Shadow if you do the honors.
Shadow: Certainly! Now Slayer owns nothing except OCs and reality bending concepts. He would tell you that himself if he wasn't freaking out. However for now this is…
Ichigo: why'd you stop?
Shadow: I'm not Slayer so I can't say his line.
Slayer: But I can (sniffles) as always this is Slayer Infinium signing off. (Starts crying again)
Ichigo: This is going to be a problem…
Shadow: You can say that again.
Ichigo: This is going…
Shadow: I didn't mean that literally!
