*Doot*
Red was about to climb up on stage when a voice rang out "I think I'll go instead, Red." Diam said as he walked up from the shadows, Red held up his hands "Hey, no argument against that dynamic duo." Red said as he sat down at the table Falcon and Crys sat at.
Falcon gulped "You just said dynamic duo?" Falcon asked, Red nodded "Yeah, they've been doing this together for a while." Red said as Carnel and Diam stood next to each other, Carnel looked at Diam "We gonna do it to 'em?" Carnel asked, Diam nodded "Oh hell yeah." He said as he adjusted the collar of his shirt.
Carnel snapped his fingers and pulled a laptop out of a rift, he plugged the laptop into an Aux cord and sat it on a stool, he clicked on a file labeled 'Oh don't do it!' and clicked play on an MP3 file labeled 'Oh my god.' A trap beat came through the speakers and shook the room when the bass kicked in. Carnel walked over to the wall and lowered the lights before he raised the stage lights that flooded the stage with hues of red, blue, and green as well as a few lasers and some smoke from a small machine on the floor.
Carnel bobbed his head along with the beat slowly before he bounced on his feet and leaped to the front of the stage.

CA: Time tickin mothafucka yea you know the deal. Keep the fake off my plate, this my only meal, no hands on the clock time is only real and no hands when I ride, I don't know the wheel! Livin life like a movie it's who I truly am, I heard em say I'm destined for greatness so let me prove it then. The clock is tickin I stopped giving fucks a year ago, I think I murdered way too many beats, this case is serial!
D: I'll let you know that I came to smack ya, don't care if you're an A-List famous rapper Save the laughter, I put you in a grave or casket, I guess it's just the kinda fame I'm after god daaaamn!
CA: Over trap beats and I pack heat in my mouth now I gotta gun shed, but they're sleeping on me twice as hard mothafucka better go and get a bunk bed! Woah! Watch me take the crown on accident, put the cash up in my hands and I'll be stackin' it, I manifest, I am the best with rapping I am passionate. Livin how I wanna yes, I gotta go big just so everything I do will be extravagant. Woah, it's like they're putting something in the water now I see all the washed-up rappers taking shots, but I water down.
D: Oh shit! I'm feeling it! – Takyon! Hell yeah, fuck yeah, I feel like killing it! - Takyon
Alright that's tight, what it's like to experience – Takyon!
CA: Subatomic penetration, rapid fire through your skull! How I shot it on one takin' it back to the days of tryna lose control, swerving in a blaze of fire, raging through my bones!
D: Oh shit! I'm feeling it! – Takyon! Hell yeah, fuck yeah, I feel like killing it! - Takyon
Alright that's tight, what it's like to experience – Takyon!
CA: Out of the blue, in through the back door coming through like "Fuck, what was that?" Man, I don't know, but it made me feel so heated, how we creep without showing you jack shit from below, give a shit if you know 'Cause even if you did, bet you'd keep coming back, back for more, need it man you're addicted to the heat, we make beats catch. Beat it 'til it bleeds to death, each track epileptic seize every head we crack, Like EPMD snapping necks as we tap energy from everything on and off the map.
The trap beat changed to a slower tempo as Diam walked toward the front of the stage.
D: Smoke from the loosie drift, Hold it like a crucifix. Blow from the nose, I'm a dragon to a gnome. Got an average of bein' excellent the median just dope, like the ratio of heroin to laxative that's sold. Authorities have spoken, demanded your pure devotion, get magnetized to the ground while the falcons of murder close in. I chose to go guano, y'all know, kinda bat shit. The bright lights of fuckery stuck in me, automatic I'll tea bag a piranha tank, heart barely beatin'.
A wild one who'll swim like directly after he's eaten While holding a toaster oven that's plugged with a fork in it, Cause death by electrocution's like life on York street, isn't it? Shoulda been a dentist, mom said it pain's the way that my craft expresses Born in a little shop of horrors that I can't even afford to rent in, where's the exit? Wanna talk shop I can chop it up with X-Acto touch, what's the rush? Autograph skin flaps, tag em up I don't brag enough, you de facto suck. A lotta you new to the El Producto milieu kinda like (CA: Fuck is you?) I'm a little black spot on a sun of lies, but I'm not too high to say I'm the truth, I line the booth to catch blood like a Bateman. Nothing sacred, I'll mace a play pen, Jewel runner bitch make the name stick, not for sale but I'm takin payments.
CA: Lie, cheat, steal, kill, win, win (D: Everybody's doin' it) Lie, cheat, steal, kill, win, win
(D: Everybody doin' it) Lie, cheat, steal, kill, win, win (D: Everybody's doin' it) Lie, cheat, steal, kill, win.
CA: I'm fly as a Pegasus, that's no embellishment, I'm here to pain the whole game, where the Excedrin. Good pussy, good marijuana that be my medicine and I'm a mixture of MJG and the Weathermen. A revolutionary bangin' on my adversaries and I love Dr. King, but violence might be necessary. Cause when you live on MLK and it gets very scary you might have to pull your AK, send one to the cemetery. We overworked, underpaid, and we underprivileged.
They love us, they love us (D: why?) Because we feed the village, you really made it or just became a prisoner of privilege? You willing to share that information that you've been given? Like who really run this?
Like who really run that man that say he run this? Who really run that man that say he run this, run this? Like who really fund this? Like who really fund who say he fund this? Like who in the world gon' tell Donald Sterl who to put on the "You can't come" list? Now don't be silly Who the fuck gon' bully me if I got a billi?
If I got a billi and the bitch recording me, I'm like who cares What I wouldn't be is on TV stutterin' ta-ta-talkin' scared. So, the question is when Don's at home with that traitor ass bitch alone. Who's that voice on the side of the phone that shakes and rattles his bones? Could it be the man behind the man behind the man behind the throne? Gone.
The trap beat changed once again.
D: Think happy thoughts, the only way to fly is to never fall, Neverland, that is why it's called waiting, I defy the laws. Life's a bitch; watch her show her bosoms at the Mardi Gras, I live for the rainy days and overcast. Just so I can stunt on the sun I know you mad, my horoscope probably said some shit about growing up, not the Zodiac Killer but I do not give no fucks.
CA: This is no rental tux was born with this suit of armor, Arnold Palmer, swinging in a sauna with snake charmers. They tell me my day's warmer, how could I stay calmer, we're all gon' be gone soon. Death at the next corner, I live for my dreams, so it seems I'm indebted more, but do you think Angels in heaven care about credit scores?
6 feet under makes me wonder bout how I wanna go, just bury me in love, I'm a product of my goals. I know I'm not usually one to brag, but the feelings I've overcome are the greatest feelings I've had, tell I put it all in the bag.
You're gonna pay me in glory, you might've written me off but you're gonna read me in story, the underdog Went over they head though I'm the one twice over, Hut three like I'm Bledsoe. If I did what you said so I would probably be dead, so I follow the voice in my head, it tells me I'm special If you're ready then let's go.
D: Run Forrest, Run Forrest, Run Forrest! Spit wildfires, I run Forrest. Murdering verses let the beat hold the gun for us. You once had me hooked but I've become an undone chorus. We all can plant seeds but I'm relying on one florist. That's me though, rap game ninos, do it all for a c-note where's the love? Where's the passion? The honor inside of your actions? The moment they build you up, they'll divide you into a fraction, be you.

CA: You have one shot on stage, what you got to play? Generic drops for days, still the people rage, am I not insane? Can you stop and explain? Why these drops are so lame? Is money buyin' your fame? I'm fuckin' on, I'm killin' it with this song, you haters can sing along, or go back where you belong, yeah! There's nothing wrong with givin' up, movin' on, 'cuz I took your girl to prom, she can't help but sing this song!
D: 'Till the roof comes off, 'Till the lights go out, 'Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. 'Till the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps. I'mma rip this shit, 'Till my bones collapse. 'Till the roof comes off, 'Till the lights go out, 'Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. 'Till the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps. I'mma rip this shit, 'Till my bones collapse.
CA: I'm so gone, faded off a thirty rack. She's so on, like a light switch flirtin' back. There's nothin' wrong, with the way that she's workin' that, I just want that body bad, come on baby, bring it back.
I'm so gone, faded off a thirty rack. She's so on, like a light switch flirtin' back. There's nothin' wrong, with the way that she's workin' that, I just want that body bad, come on baby, bring it back.
CA: I rap with a passion, yeah, I got it in me. I've been waitin' quite a long time, for y'all to hear me. It's about damn time you put some stock into me, you're either sponsorin' me, or fuckin' botherin' me! And the fact is we just practice all this madness, that is why your status is like a canvas, chance is, our advancement is enhancin' and this new expansion's like a mansion.
D: 'Till the roof comes off, 'Till the lights go out, 'Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. 'Till the smoke clears out, am I high? Perhaps. I'mma rip this shit, 'Till my bones collapse.

After the last word, Carnel and Diam both dropped their mics and jumped off stage. Red was smiling from ear to ear while Falcon looked horrified "How? How are you guys that good?" He asked confused, Carnel chuckled "We used to do this a lot back in Atlas." Carnel said as he and Diam took a seat. "You're up, Falcon punch." Carnel said as he sipped from his beer.
Falcon and Crys got up and climbed up on stage, they selected a song from the machine and took their place in front of the mics.
Hero – Skillet
Heavy guitar riffs cut in backed by heavy toms and kick drums.
F: I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away, losing my faith today (CR: we're falling off the edge today) I am just a man, not superhuman (CR: I'm not superhuman) someone save me from the hate.

As the song ended, Crys collapsed to her knees and shielded her face "That took so much out of me, you have no idea." Crys said as they climbed off the stage, Falcon looked at Red "Well, who do you think won?" Falcon asked, Red stared at him "Is that really a question." Red said, Carnel chuckled as he bumped fists with Diam.
"Screw you guys." Crys said as she took her seat. "So, what to ask for?" Carnel said to himself, Falcon rubbed his head as Carnel pondered in thought "Oh I got it! Crys, you got to go to the dance." Carnel said, Crys face turned to one of pure horror "You sadistic fuck." Crys said, Diam glared at Falcon "Aye Carnel, take my demand." Diam said with a smirk, Falcon looked stunned "Wait, can he do that?" Falcon asked confused.
Red nodded "No formal rules were set, so yes." Red said, Carnel grinned "And Falcon, you have to take her." Carnel said, Falcon's face dropped "You fucking monster." Falcon said in a deadpan tone. They paid their tab and left the bar, the air was crisp as they walked through the dimly lit street, Carnel's scroll dinged as they strolled down the boulevard. "Hey Diam, they found the guy who made Honey Badger." Carnel said as he read the text message.
"No shit, so what are you gonna do?" Diam asked, Carnel rubbed his chin in thought "I want to talk to this dude and get him to make some weapons for me." Carnel said, Diam pulled out his scroll and typed into his scroll before he closed it again.
"Alright, we'll have him ready for you in a couple days." Diam said before he disappeared into the ground, Red moved next to Carnel and nudged him "So what's up with this dance?" Red asked, Carnel scratched the back of his head "I think it's a dance before Vytal festival starts, and if they got a stage, then I'm gonna bring the house down." Carnel said as they walked down the street. Falcon and Crys boarded an airship while Carnel shook Red's hand "I'll catch you around, bro." Carnel said before he got onto the airship.
The VTOL took off into the sky, the airship flew through the sky before it touched down at Beacon, cool air blew across the campus as they got out of the airship and walked across the campus. Carnel stopped in his tracks and looked across the campus "Hey, you guys go ahead, I got something I need to do first." Carnel said, Falcon nodded before he and Crys walked inside the dorm.
Carnel walked over toward the giant statue and sat down on a bench, he stared at the statue in thought "Why did you accept me, Ozpin?" Carnel asked out loud, there was moment of silence before a voice answered. "Because I saw someone with potential, someone that has the opportunity to do great things with their life." Ozpin said as he sipped from his mug, Carnel lowered his head "I assume you already know what I did." Carnel said as he closed his eyes, Ozpin lowered his mug "Yes, and that is something you will have to deal with on your own." Ozpin said as he stared at the statue.
"I can't say that I approve of your methods, but you were defending your people and you promised to defend this town." Ozpin said before he took another sip from his mug. "Now, I think you should be getting back to your dorm." Ozpin said before he walked away, Carnel stood up and walked back to his dorm. He slowly opened the door and walked inside before he closed the door behind him, Falcon was reading a book while Crys was reading one of her manga books. Alicia was asleep in Carnel's bed, Carnel went into the bathroom to take a shower, he climbed into the shower and let the hot water hit his chest.
As he washed his hair, he could swear he heard the handle jiggle and the door open. He heard the shower door slide open and shut along with the feeling of someone behind him, a pair of breasts were pushed up against his back and a pair of fingers needed his hair. The water washed the soap out of his eyes and he turned around to see Alicia standing in the shower with him, still clothed except for a shirt and a bra.
She smiled and kissed him the lips, her breasts pushed up against his chest as she traced circles on his back. Carnel pulled away slightly and looked down into her heterochromatic eyes as they filled with lust "Why are you wearing jeans?" Carnel asked, Alicia shrugged "Spur of the moment." Alicia said with a shrug. Carnel shook his head as he picked her up and pushed her up against the marble wall as she kissed him again.
*One Steamy Sex Scene Later*
Carnel turned the hot water off and stepped out of the shower, Alicia extracted the water from her jeans and panties before she pulled them back on. She pulled the water off Carnel's body and dried him off, he snapped open a rift and pulled out a pair of boxers and gym shorts. "Thanks for the good time." Alicia said before she kissed on the lips and pulled her shirt on, Carnel opened the door and walked out of the bathroom to see Falcon staring at him "Really?" He asked annoyed, Carnel raised his hands up defensive.
"She's an adult, I'm her boyfriend. This shit's gonna happen, just know I have her best interest at heart." Carnel said defensively as he got into his bed with Alicia, Falcon shook his head and sighed as he got into bed face down. Alicia climbed into his bed and pushed up against Carnel's body, he pulled her in close and kissed her on the neck as he closed his eyes.
*The Next Day*
The sun crept through the window as Carnel woke up, he fished his arm out from under Alicia and climbed out of bed, he walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth as he looked at himself in the mirror. He felt a hickey that was on the left side of his neck "Damn Alicia." Carnel said as he spat the toothpaste into the marble sink, Alicia giggled "Sorry babe." Alicia said as she wrapped her arms around his chest.
She reached up and felt the short hair on his face, he raised his eyebrow "You want me to shave?" Carnel asked, Alicia shook her head and giggled "No don't, I like it." Alicia said as she kissed him on the cheek before she walked out of the bathroom. Carnel opened a rift and grabbed some pomade out of the portal, he put some in his hand and raked it through his hair.
Carnel walked out of the bathroom and grabbed a t-shirt off a chair before he slipped his jeans on followed by his shoes and his accessories like his scroll and his necklace. Carnel looked back at his team who was waking up "Hey guys, I'm running into town. I should be back later, by 4 at the latest." Carnel said as he grabbed his hoodie off the chair and was headed for the door, Alicia shot up off the bed "I'll go with you, too." Alicia said as she put her shoes on.
The couple walked out of the dorm and down the hall, as they strolled across the campus, Alicia perked up. "So, what is it that you got to do in Vale?" Alicia asked curiously, Carnel snapped his fingers and pulled out Honey Badger before he closed it again. "I found the person who created this." Carnel said as he handed the bat to Alicia. She rolled it in her hands before she handed it back to him. "How does it work?" Alicia asked, Carnel placed it back into the rift "I don't know, but I aim to find out, one way or another." Carnel said as he cracked his knuckles.
Carnel pulled out his scroll and called up Diam "Hey D, Alicia and I are on our way to Vale. We'll be there in about ten minutes." Carnel said as they boarded the Airship, the airship took off into the sky before it landed in Vale ten minutes later.
A black SUV waited for them at the air dock, Carnel opened the back door for Alicia before he climbed into the front seat next to Diam. "We got him in an abandoned office with the walls and floor covered in tarp." Diam said as he pressed the pedal to the floor. Diam pulled out a small black bag and handed it to Carnel "It's got your gear in it." Diam said, Carnel opened the bag and pulled out a pair of black leather gloves, a wire garrote, and a pair of needle nose pliers.
The SUV pulled up outside of a red brick-faced building, Carnel got out and opened the back door for Alicia. The trio entered the abandoned office building to see a man zip tied to a chair with two guys with AKs on either side of him, the tarp on the floor crinkled as he walked over it "Guys, lose the cuffs." Carnel said, the guards sliced off the zip ties.
The man rubbed his wrists as he sat up, Carnel sat down in a chair opposite of him "Relax, you're not in any danger." Carnel said as he tried to take the man off edge. The man exhaled slowly as he visibly relaxed, Carnel snapped his fingers and pulled out Honey Badger "You recognize this?" Carnel asked, the man took the bat from him and examined it.
"Ahh, I remember this one. I used a good piece when I made this." The man said as he handed it back to Carnel, Carnel nodded as he leaned the bat against the chair "First, what's your name?" Carnel asked as he looked at the man.
"Barry" The man said as sat forward slightly, Carnel nodded lightly "Right, well Barry. How does this weapon work?" Carnel asked, Barry remained silent for a moment. Carnel sighed "Barry, remember we can do this the easy way or the hard way. This tarp is here for a reason." Carnel said as he tightened his gloves and pulled out the pliers. Barry gulped out of fear as he adjusted himself in the seat "It uses cursed items, whether it's a metal, a crystal, or a gemstone. That bat uses metal that was forged from the swords used during the great war, the amount of bloodshed has left that weapon cursed. The negative energy disrupts a person's aura and allows for direct impact, I assume you've seen its effect first hand?" Barry asked, Carnel nodded as he put the pliers away and sat back down.
"You see, these metals and crystals absorb the negative emotions from all over the world, I scour the world for cursed items and then I create the weapon that someone has requested. So far, that bat is the only weapon I've ever made." Barry said, Carnel developed a smirk as he rubbed his hands together "Good, because from now on, you're my personal weapon maker." Carnel said, Barry was about to protest his proclamation, but he stopped when the two Undead members pulled back the bolts on their AKs.
"Yes s-sir, I can do that." Barry said fearfully, Carnel grinned and rubbed his hands together. "Good, then I need you to make me a knife made of crystal, a katana made of steel, and steel Brass Knuckles." Carnel said as Diam wrote down the list and handed it to Barry. Barry scanned the paper before he looked up "Alright sir, I'll get these made for you as soon as possible." Barry said before the guards led him out of the room.
Carnel stood up and stretched, the joints in his back and shoulders popped as the muscles stretched out. Carnel snapped his right hand and tossed his leather gloves into the rift along with the pliers and the garrote, he closed the rift behind him before he walked toward Alicia, his feet crushed the plastic on the ground. "I'll get those weapons delivered to you before the Vytal Festival, I'll bring the crew to root you on." Diam said as he handed Carnel a cup of coffee, Carnel took the cup and sipped it lightly. He gasped lightly when the hot liquid scorched his tongue, Alicia giggled lightly "Allow me." She said as she held her hand up to the cup and projected a cold force of wind onto the cup, Carnel sipped the coffee again but sighed in content this time "Perfect, thanks babe." Carnel said before he kissed her on the lips.
"So, are you going to perform at the dance tonight?" Alicia asked, Carnel nodded as he drank his coffee "Yeah, I'll have Diam and Red join me up there." Carnel said as they started to walk out of the office building, Alicia thought to herself for a moment "Have you ever thought about doing rock music? I mean I know you grew up with rap and hip-hop, but why not try rock or metal music?" She asked, Carnel rubbed his chin "Alright, I'm always open to trying new things." Carnel said as they exited the building.
"Sounds like it would be fun." Diam said as they approached the black SUV, Diam guided Carnel to the back of the vehicle and opened the rear hatch "We found somethings you might like, the first is here but the other is at the warehouse." Diam said as he pulled out a large case and opened the lid. Carnel lifted an MG42 out of the case and inspected the large drum magazine on the side, he lifted the stock to his shoulder and strafed the barrel from side to side slowly as looked down the iron sights.
"Look good? That's a one hundred round drum mag and we have three prepped for you." Diam said as he pulled out an ammo box and flipped the lid open. Carnel laughed to himself loudly "Oh I can not wait for the Festival, they are so fucked. They won't stand a chance." Carnel said as he opened a Rift and placed the LMG inside of the portal before he closed it again. Alicia climbed into the SUV with the two mobsters before the black Cadillac took off down the road, the SUV hooked a left onto the highway and opened up the pistons inside the engine.
The black SUV weaved in and out of traffic as it sped down the street, the vehicle broke off the highway and took a left down a secluded street that was lined with warehouses that looked out over the ocean. The SUV pulled up to a warehouse that had a chain-link fence with two men standing outside of it, one of the men pushed the gate open to allow the SUV to pull in. The SUV pulled in and parked next to a few shipping containers, Carnel stepped out and opened the door for Alicia as Diam walked around the vehicle. Multiple armed men patrolled the warehouse lot and stood on the roof, one with a Denel NTW – 20 and another with an M40 Sniper Rifle, the two men also had a Zastava M85 on their hips.
Carnel opened a portal and pulled out an orange clay disc, he called up to the roof "Oye! You with the M40, how's your aim?" Carnel asked loudly, the man chuckled "Very solid, boss." The man said, Carnel threw the disc into the air and caused the disc to fly through the sky, a gunshot rang out before the disc exploded in midair. Carnel looked back at the man on the roof whose barrel wasn't smoking "I didn't even fire." He said confused, Carnel chuckled "Sorry man, Redeye gets competitive with these kind of things. She used to be a competitive sniper in Mistral and was the top marksmen in the kingdom, I trust you're a great sniper though." Carnel said apologetically.
Ray and Cedric lifted the large metal warehouse door, inside the warehouse was what seemed like a fleet of Hummers and Jeeps that were being mounted with mounted machine guns on the roof. "Boys? What are we prepping for?" Carnel asked Ray who was now standing next to the boss, Ray rubbed his hands together as the man thought "Well, we got a message or, I guess I should say, a warning. It was written on the wall of warehouse thirteen, the one we had our first meeting in, but it was written in blood." Ray said as he pulled out his scroll and showed Carnel a picture of the wall that had 'Get Out!' written in blood.
"You think it's the White Fang?" Cedric asked, Carnel shook his head "No, this is an old enemy. This is the Vajo and they're sending us a message. You guys did a good job handling the whole situation." Carnel said as he patted the two men on the shoulders. Diam guided the group over to a covered vehicle that was under a light that hung from the roof. Cedric pulled the sheet off and revealed a black Lamborghini Centenario with a crimson red trim, Carnel stared in awe while Alicia squealed with excitement. "You okay, Alicia?" Carnel asked with a chuckle.
"This is literally my dream car!" Alicia said as Cedric handed him the keys, Cedric handed him a piece of paper "Here's your personal garage, across the street from Junior's Club." Cedric said, Carnel nodded as he opened the butterfly door for Alicia to get in, before he closed the door and jogged over to the driver side while Ray held the door open for him. Carnel bumped fists with Ray, Cedric, and Diam before he got into the driver seat, he started the car and let the engine roar "Oh, we also moved your personal vehicle there." Diam said before Carnel closed the door.
Carnel put it in gear and pressed the pedal slowly, the exotic car slowly pulled out of the warehouse and onto the road before Carnel pressed the pedal down more. The Centenario sped down the road as the exhaust roared loudly, he pressed the clutch down as he pulled the E-Brake and drifted around the corner. He pushed the lever back down and shifted into 2nd gear before he pressed the pedal again, the Centenario let out a 'pshh' as the twin-turbo valve release kicked in as Carnel switched gears and threw it into 3rd. He turned the corner and lowered it back into 2nd as he pressed the accelerator again "What's that noise?" Alicia asked as the valve release expelled the excess gases.
"That's the twin turbo in the V-12 engine, oh this baby has some kick to it. 0 to 72 in just 2.8 seconds." Carnel said as they pulled up to a large brick building with a large metal door, he rolled the window down and pressed the buttons on the keypad which caused the door to open slowly. He slowly drove the Lamborghini into the garage and parked it next to another vehicle, a black and orange Bugatti Veyron that had smokie headlights and matte black rims. Alicia looked at the large garage and then looked at her boyfriend who was spinning the keys on his index finger, she giggled as he clutched the two keys and the key fob "So, you got two sports cars now?" She asked, he chuckled "I only got one car." Carnel said, Alicia looked at the two cars and then back to Carnel, then back at the cars. "But… there are two cars… in your garage. Am I having a stroke right now?" She asked as Carnel continued to spin the keys.
He chuckled as she walked over to the Bugatti and gestured to it "This car belongs to?" She asked, Carnel nodded his head "Me." Carnel said, Alicia nodded her head "Right, and who does this belong to?" Alicia asked as she gestured to the Lamborghini, Carnel chuckled "Not me." Carnel said, Alicia sighed and dropped her arms.
She walked over to the side of the Bugatti and gestured with both arms "This one belongs to you, Carnel Melone!" Alicia said, slightly frustrated. Carnel nodded as she walked over to the side of the Lamborghini and gestured to it with both hands "And this belongs to who?!" She asked angrily, Carnel chuckled "Not me." Carnel said as he adjusted his weight to his left leg, Alicia formed a ball of fire in her right hand "Mother fucker, I will set you the fuck on fire." Alicia said as she walked closer to Carnel with the fire in her hand.
"Easy! Easy! Shit, I'll tell you. Just, don't mess up the look." Carnel said as he adjusted his outfit and ran his fingers through his hair. He dangled the keys in front of her and jiggled them slightly "Go start the car and you'll find out." Carnel said, Alicia took the keys from him and walked over to the Lamborghini, she climbed inside the sports car and tried to put the keys into the ignition but found no ignition slot. "What? Where?" She asked confused, Carnel cleared his throat and got her attention. "Slide up on the key fob and press start." Carnel said, Alicia looked at the key fob and slid up on the tiny screen before she tapped start. The sports car roared to life before it idled like an angry demon, Alicia looked around the car before she looked at Carnel "Yeah, no. I got no idea who it belongs to." Alicia said as she turned the sports car off and got out of the seat before she closed the door behind her. Carnel sighed and facepalmed as he stood in the middle of the garage.
"You. It belongs to you, sweetheart." Carnel said, Alicia looked down at the key fob then looked back at Carnel, she sighed and looked down toward the ground for a moment before the realization hit her. She squealed and hugged her boyfriend tightly, she looked at the sports car and then back at her boyfriend "You're an ass sometimes, but I love that about you." She said as she kissed him on the lips. He placed his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to his body, Alicia broke the kiss and stepped back slightly "I'm glad Falcon ain't here since he would probably be having an aneurysm." Alicia said, Carnel chuckled as he brushed the hair out of her face, the light gleamed off her platinum blonde hair as it ran down her back.
"Come on, we got to get back to the school." Alicia said before she led the two of them out of the garage and back into the streets of Vale, the sun was past mid-day as they walked down the street. She stopped mid stride and looked down at her scroll "Shit, do I have a dress for the dance?" Alicia asked herself, Carnel looked at her confused as he leaned against the wall. Carnel looked up across the street and saw a fancy clothing store, he tapped her on the shoulder and pointed across the street.
"There's a store over there, you want to go check it out?" Carnel asked, Alicia nodded and took his hand in hers before they walked across the street. They entered the store and were greeted to the fragrance of vanilla and strawberries that quickly flooded their nostrils, Alicia sighed in ecstasy as a store clerk approached them "Can I help you two with anything?" The female clerk asked, Carnel cleared his throat "My girl needs the finest dress you have." Carnel said, the woman looked him up and down judgmentally, Carnel caught on quickly as she sucked air in through her teeth. "Well, we have these discount dresses over here. They have some nice color options and they're discounted." The woman started to say, but Carnel held his hand up "I know how I look but believe me when I say that price is no issue." Carnel said as he pulled a stack of Lien cards from his hoodie pocket and sat them on the counter. The woman went pale as she altered her sight from the stack of cards to Carnel who stood next to Alicia, Carnel chuckled as he rested his hands on the counter "So how about you run and get your manager real quick." Carnel said, the woman spun around and ran to the back of the store, her heels clicked on the marble floor as she passed behind the marble pillars and disappeared behind the hall.
Minutes later an older looking woman appeared from behind a black curtain and approached the counter "What seems to be the problem, sir?" She asked, Carnel looked into her eyes and exhaled slowly "I came in here to get a dress for my girl and I asked for the finest dress in the store, you associate escorted us to the discount section. I fully intended on paying full price, but not if my economic stature is weighed against how I dress." Carnel said, the woman became embarrassed after Carnel had put them in their place.
"I'm sorry sir, but I don't think you could afford our dress. They are very expensive." The older woman said, Carnel dropped his head onto the counter and sighed loudly "Have you ever heard of The Golden Lion?" Carnel asked, the women looked at each other confused "Isn't that the mafia in Atlas?" The older woman asked, Carnel nodded as he pulled out his scroll and opened the contacts. "I have a direct line to Silver himself and I don't think he would be too happy that one of his associates was denied service because of the way they look." Carnel said as his finger hovered above the call button.
The older woman looked visibly shaken "I am so sorry sir, we had no idea we were dealing with a high-profile individual, follow me and I will help you find a dress." The older woman said, Carnel cleared his throat "Half off, right." Carnel asked as he held his finger over the button, the woman nodded with fear "Yes sir." She said as she guided them to a crimson dress that had its own spot underneath three roof lights that shown down on it. The older woman took the dress out and guided Alicia into the dressing room, minutes later Alicia stepped out of the room and spun around, the bottom of the dress fanned out as she spun.
She stopped and faced her boyfriend "Well, what do you think?" She asked nervously, Carnel looked shocked "You look absolutely stunning." Carnel said, Alicia wore the crimson red dress that hugged her curves and accentuated her assets, she had a black lace choker around her neck that blended with her semi-pale skin and seemed to dance with her heterochromatic eyes and her platinum blonde hair.
She looked at herself in the mirror and adjusted her chest "I love it!" Alicia said, Carnel smiled as he watched the woman he was falling in love with, she glowed as bright as a dwarf star. "We'll take it." Carnel said as he handed the woman 2,500 Lien, Alicia walked back into the dressing room and remerged in her attire that consisted of black skinny jeans, a white blouse, and a black jean jacket that had a white pentagram on the back of it.
Carnel took Alicia's hand and walked with her toward the exit where the younger woman was holding Alicia's new dress, Alicia took the dress from the woman and the couple walked out and made their way toward the airship docks. The two boarded the airship and sat back as it took off into the sky, within minutes the airship landed at Beacon and let the two off. As they were walking back to the dorm, Carnel saw Falcon and Crys talking with team RWBY and JNPR.
"What's up, fuck face?! You ask Crys to the dance yet?" Carnel asked loudly, Crys face turned bright red while Falcon rubbed the back of his head. The two teams whooped loudly as Falcon continued to rub the back of his head, Carnel sucked in air through his teeth and chuckled to himself "I guess not, well you better get to it, songbird." Carnel said sarcastically before he and Alicia walked back to their dorm.
Carnel pulled off his jacket and tossed it over a desk chair before he collapsed onto his bed, Alicia hung her dress up on a hook that was attached to the closet door. "I'll start getting ready, you do… whatever it is that you do to get ready." Alicia said before she disappeared into the bathroom, but she stuck her head out of the door again "I'm going to take a shower again if you want to join me." Alicia said, Carnel quickly shot out of bed and bolted into the bathroom.
*Another Steamy Shower Scene Later*
Alicia turned the shower off and followed Carnel out of the shower, she pulled the water off both their bodies and tossed it back into the shower, the water quickly flowed down the drain as the two exited the bathroom and walked back into the main dorm. Alicia had a towel wrapped around her body that hugged her hips and squeezed her bust, Carnel pulled on a pair of boxers before he grabbed a pair of gym shorts from a drawer. "Man, I can't believe I'm dating someone as fine as you." Carnel said as he admired Alicia who was putting her bra on.
"You never get tired of saying that, do you?" She asked with a giggle, Carnel chuckled "Well, I never thought I'd be able to fall in love again, after everything with Maple and the White Fang. I thought I'd never live to see twenty, I thought I'd be gunned down in the street but here I am at this prestigious academy, dating this dime of a chick, and running a whole town with my outfit." Carnel said as he put on deodorant and spritzed himself with Chrome by Azzaro.
"Thank you, for the dress. I love it, it's so beautiful." Alicia said, Carnel smirked "I know you are." Carnel said with a smirk which caused Alicia to blush "You got a silver tongue, don't you." Alicia said playfully, Carnel simply shrugged. Alicia turned around quickly "Wait, where is your outfit for the dance?" Alicia asked but Carnel just held a finger on his left hand before he snapped his right hand and reached into the Rift and pulled out suitcase that he sat on his bed.
Carnel closed the Rift and popped open his suitcase, he pulled out a pair of black dress pants and laid them on the bed along with a black long sleeve dress shirt, dress shoes, and a holster that had a Beretta M9 in it. Carnel pulled out a black blazer that had a hood built into the neck, he laid the blazer down on the bed before he pulled out two black brass knuckles and two wrist gauntlets that had two sheathed knives in them.
"I used this three times: Once for a hit on a business CEO, the other times for Angel and Maple's funeral." Carnel said as he remembered the macabre days of the past. "Who was Maple?" Alicia asked curiously, Carnel gulped as he heard the door handle jiggle. Falcon and Crys quickly walked in, Falcon walked up to Carnel as he stared into the ether "You had a lot of nerve doing that in front of everyone like that." Falcon said with irritation in his voice, but he got no response from Carnel who still stared into nothing.
"Hey moron! You hear me?!" Falcon asked but still no response, Alicia walked up and shook Carnel lightly "Sweetie? Is everything alright?" Alicia asked, Carnel quickly snapped back to reality "Huh? What?" Carnel asked as he looked around the room and saw Falcon looking at him "Hey, when did songbird get here?" Carnel asked, Falcon rolled his eyes before he walked over to his bed and sat down. "Why did you lock up like that?" Alicia asked concerned, Carnel sighed and looked at the floor. "I… I'm still processing it all and I have this fire of rage that burns within me because of it." Carnel said as he sat down on his bed, he looked up and noticed that the whole room was looking at him.
"I met her when I was fourteen, I had just joined the Undead and was making my way up the ranks. Angel was still alive and sent me out to scope out a potential meeting between the Vajo and a foreign diplomat, one we later determined to be an emissary of the White Fang. I was at this maid café out in Atlas and this cute girl with blonde hair and green eyes came up to me to take my order. She had these cat ears and a tail that flicked back and forth as she talked to me. At the time, I didn't know what a Faunus was, but she informed me after having the usual 'didn't they teach you in school?' and I gave her the answer that scares most, that I didn't go to school and I grew up in an orphanage where we were beat sometimes for something minor and that's why I escaped and raised myself on the streets, until I met Diam." Carnel explained.
*Flashback, 5 years ago*
Carnel entered the café and shook off the snow that had collected on his shoulders "Welcome master, may I seat you, nyah?" A cute blonde-haired girl asked, Carnel nodded and followed her to a corner seat that had an open view of the café. The girl had blonde cat ears that were curled at the tips and twitched when the cold air hit them, she also had a tail that flicked around depending on her mood or attitude, she wore a black and white frilled maid outfit that had an orange nametag in the shape of a heart that read 'Maple'. She also had a golden bell around her neck that jingled with every step.
"Hi, my name is Maple and I'll be your maid, master." Maple said, Carnel looked up at he and smiled "Well aren't you just the cutest thing ever." Carnel said which caused Maple to blush "Can I get you anything to drink? I recommend the Earl Grey tea, it's so good." Maple said, Carnel nodded to her "I'll take that then, sweetheart." Carnel said with a wink which caused Maple to blush again before she left to get his tea.
As soon as she left, Carnel pulled out a snub-nosed .44 magnum and checked the cylinder to see if it was fully loaded, he closed the cylinder and put the revolver back into his pocket as Maple returned and sat down a plate with a tea cup on it. She dropped a tea bag in the cup and poured hot water into the cup, she clutched the tray close to her body as she watched Carnel observe two people talking. "You can sit if you want, I don't bite. Well, unless you want me to." Carnel said which caused her to blush once again.
"Those friends of yours?" She asked quietly, Carnel shook his head "Nah, those are bad people. I just have to observe them to make sure nothing changes hands." Carnel said as the two men shook hands and one stood up to leave while holding a brown briefcase. "Well, that man didn't come in with that briefcase." Maple said as the man opened the door and left the café, Carnel quickly hammered back the tea and tossed down 50 lien "I'll see you around, Maple." Carnel said with a wink.
Carnel took a left and followed five feet behind the shady man, he followed the man turn for turn and ended up following him into a dead-end alley. Carnel pulled out the revolver and cocked the hammer back, he raised the revolver at the man "Briefcase, now." Carnel said to the man who was stoic and unmoving. Carnel took a step forward "I'm not afraid to catch a body." Carnel said, he shook his head and put the revolver away. He ran forward and tackled the man to the ground, he kicked the briefcase away and snapped his left hand to open a lock-up portal. Carnel dragged the man across the concrete ground and tossed him into the lock-up rift with a lot of struggle.
He closed the portal before he picked up the briefcase and sat it on a dumpster lid, he snapped the clamps open and opened the lid of the briefcase. He was met with multiple folders labeled 'Golden Lion' 'Undead' 'The Sanus Serpents' and 'Third Street' along with roughly 20,000 lien. Carnel took the lien out and stuffed it into his pockets before he closed the briefcase and tossed it into a Rift portal that he immediately closed again.
Carnel walked out of the alley and back into the maid café where Maple was, her ears perked up at the sight of Carnel reentering the café "Master, you've returned. Would you like another cup of tea?" She asked eagerly, Carnel smiled and turned his charm up to one thousand "Actually, I'd like to take you out sometime, if that'd be ok with you?" Carnel asked, Maple smiled and brushed a few strands of hair out of her face.
"I'd love to, I get off tonight at 7." Maple said, Carnel memorized the time before he turned around, but he looked back at her "See you then, cutie." Carnel said with a wink before he walked out of the café and down the road.
*4 Hours Later*
Carnel strolled up to the café dressed in his upscale casual attire, Maple walked out of the café as Carnel neared the front doors, she wore a brown and plaid dress, black high heels, and knee socks, she had a brown headband in her hair with a white bow on it. Her pale skin complemented her blonde hair and green eyes, Carnel stared in awe "You like what you see?" Maple asked with a giggle in her voice. Carnel smiled and extended his hand slightly "Shall we?" Carnel asked as Maple took his hand in hers.
"So, you want to do some karaoke or see a movie? I hear the new Spruce Willis movie is out." Carnel asked, Maple giggled as her ears twitched in the cold Atlas night. "I wouldn't mind doing some Karaoke with you, I want to see what you sound like singing." Maple said as she lightly squeezed his hand in hers as they walked down the street toward the club that offered an open mic night. Carnel opened the door and guided her inside, the two got a booth that had a perfect view of the stage, eventually a waitress arrived and took their orders. He looked into Maple's emerald green eyes and took her hand in his "Listen, if you want to get this close to me, there is something that you should know, but I think it would be better explained through song." Carnel said.
Carnel stood up and walked up on stage as the house band was setting up, he whispered to them and they all nodded before they took their places on the stage, the person on the keyboard switched the feed to a classic piano and slowly started to play as Carnel walked up to the microphone stand. He looked down and shot Maple a wink as the melody of the piano filled the semi-crowded bar.

As Carnel sang the facts of his lifestyle, he noticed that Maple's eyes seemed to be focused on him alone. As Carnel got ready for the next verse, the man on guitar with a mohawk walked up to another mic stand and nodded to Carnel to continue.
C: Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed (M: it's blasphemy) I tried to warn you just to stay away (M: wouldn't listen to me) And now they're outside ready to bust (M: to bust) (M: guess what) It looks like you might be one of us.
Carnel backed away from the microphone as the band stopped playing and walked off the stage to rejoin Maple at the booth, she seemed to be squirming in her seat as he sat across from her. "You alright?" Carnel asked with a chuckle, she giggled and looked down at the table "That uh… was kind of hot and it uh… kind of, well… turned me on." Maple said shyly. Carnel chuckled as she crossed her legs, Carnel leaned a little more forward toward her "So, basically I run with drug dealers and people who have killed." Carnel said, she looked down at her nails and twiddled her fingers before she got up and walked up onto the stage. She whispered to the band and told them something before the man with the mohawk walked up to the front of the stage with an electric guitar in hand, Maple walked up to the microphone stand and cleared her throat as the man started to shred on his guitar while the drummer slammed the sticks down onto the toms and beat the kick drum, Maple took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before she started to sing.
Mz. Hyde – Halestorm (M – Maple, MH – Mohawk Singer)
M: In the daylight, I'm your sweetheart, your goody-two-shoes prude is a work of art. But you don't know me, and soon you won't forget, bad as can be, yeah you know I'm not so innocent.

(MH: Hello it's Mz. Hyde!)
As the song finished, Maple walked down the steps off the stage and sat back in the booth with Carnel who seemed impressed with what he just saw. "Wow, color me impressed. You got some good vocal range." Carnel said as he sipped from his drink, Maple giggled "Well, I've always wanted to be a singer, but I never had the support to sing like that since it was deemed 'unladylike'." Maple said while making air quotes with her fingers.
"But, that's my answer to your confession. I'm not perfect either and I think I'd like to see where this goes." Maple said as she placed her hand on his that was on the table, Carnel tilted his head slightly "Today wasn't the first time we met, was it?" Carnel asked, Maple shook her head "No, we met a couple times before like we happened to sit next to each other at the movie theater two months ago, but you were with some other girl, we bumped hands a couple times that night. Then we ran into each other at the bank and you were with two scary looking guys, so I got out of there quickly." Maple said with a nervous giggle, Carnel thought back and chuckled "Oh that was Diam and Red, they're harmless." Carnel said as he caressed the top of her hand with his thumb. Carnel looked up at her ears that twitched slightly "Are those real or are they like, a headband?" Carnel asked, Maple looked shocked "You're joking, right?" She asked, but Carnel didn't budge.
"Oh, you're serious. Uh, well I'm a Faunus and these are my ears, and my tail." Maple said as she moved her ears back and forth, Carnel seemed to be taking in all the information "Have… you never met a Faunus, like not in school or anything?" Maple asked, but Carnel shook his head "Well, I'm not the most observant person out here and I never went to school, I grew up in an orphanage after my P.O.S. father murdered my mom then killed himself, I saw it all." Carnel said as he sounded more somber, but he raised his head up "But I escaped the orphanage and raised myself on the street along with the help of a couple other people who were living out in the streets." Carnel said as he chuckled nervously.
"Why did you escape the orphanage?" She asked confused, Carnel rubbed the back of his neck slightly "They used to beat us for the most minor thing, cap off the toothpaste? That's a beating, didn't part of the building properly? That's a beating, I tried fighting back, but that just led to an even worse beating. We tried to call child services on them, but they wrote us off as just 'imaginative youth'. I went back three years later and shot both of them, cleaned the gun and made it look like a murder/suicide. Then I called Child Services after 'hearing gunshots while I walking down the street.' I warned the people to make sure these kids get good protection and I told the kids to tell them everything about the beatings, the sexual assault, the torture." Carnel explained in detail, Maple looked horrified "Good god, that's horrible. I… I can't even imagine." Maple said as she embraced his hand with both of hers.
"But, on a lighter note, you sounded great up there." Carnel said which caused Maple to blush as she moved a few loose strands of hair out of her face. "Not bad yourself, do you sing professionally?" She asked, Carnel chuckled "A little bit, I'm a rapper who trying to come up and get my break. Ironic, the people who looked after me out in the streets taught me how to sing and rap, so I made sure to take care of them when I got a cash flow with The Undead. Those people are now members of the Undead as well." Carnel said as he pulled up a picture on his scroll that showed group of people that consisted of ten people: four light skinned males, two light skinned females, and four dark skinned males.
"You're a good man, Carnel." Maple said as she leaned across the table and kissed him on the lips, the two stood up and Carnel tossed one hundred and fifty Lien on the table "But the tab was only thirty." Maple said, Carnel chuckled "I know, I like to leave them a fat tip. I know that they don't make shit." Carnel said as he held Maple's hand and walked out of the bar. Carnel and Maple walked down the street while they conversed with each other, as they walked down the street, the two heard someone yelling from across the street "Get out of here, you Faunus!" The man said as he staggered and tried to cross the street but stumbled, Carnel made a fist but Maple put her hand on his upper arm "He's drunk, don't worry about him." Maple said as she led him down the street.
"Hey Faunus! I'm talking to you!" The man yelled as he started to follow them more intensely, he grabbed Carnel by the shoulder and spun him around, Carnel immediately uppercut him and knocked him to the ground. He tried to get up but fell back down, Carnel picked him up and leaned him against the wall before he and Maple left, they arrived back at the house ten minutes later. Carnel opened the door to find the couch full of people save for two spots on the left side of the couch, Angel and Diam were fighting each other in Mortal Kombat XL.
"Hey guys, this is Maple. Maple this is Angel, Diam, Colby, Emert, Bress, Red, Sall, and Brans, along with me; we make up the Hollywood boulevard division of the Undead." Carnel said before he and Maple sat at the end of the couch, Maple rested her head on Carnel's shoulder while they watched Diam and Angel duke it out on MKXL. Hours later, most of the Undead had already gone to bed and left Carnel alone on the couch with Maple "You want me to walk you home or…" He asked before he trailed off, she giggled "I was hoping that I could stay here tonight." She said before she kissed him on the cheek and moved to his neck, she tilted her head slightly and nibbled at his ear lobe.
"Alright, I can take a hint." Carnel said before he led her to his bedroom, she pushed the door closed and locked the door behind her.
*End Flashback*
"So that is who Maple was and how I met her, she was an amazing girl. Since she died, I haven't listened to or performed metal music because of the memories." Carnel explained as he wiped a tear away. Alicia grabbed a tissue and wiped away her own tears that were running down her cheeks "Maybe… tonight you perform a metal song, for her. Since I know she still lives in your heart." Alicia said as she placed her hand on Carnel's chest.
"Well, there is a song that I wrote a while back that I tried to make into a rap song, but I think it would be better as a metal song. Alright, I'll call up my boys and get them here." Carnel said as he stood up and pulled on his dress pants over his gym shorts, he buckled his belt before he clipped the knuckles to his sides and strapped the gauntlets to his wrists. He pulled the six-inch blades out before he sheathed them again and pulled on his black dress shirt followed by the hooded blazer and his diamond necklace, he slipped his dress shoes on and laced them up quickly.
Carnel stepped out of the dorm and pulled out his scroll, he sent a group message to his guys 'Hey guys! I'm performing at Beacon tonight and could use my people up on stage with me.' Carnel typed, minutes later he got a 'cool, be there soon' from Diam, Red, Harlequin, Lacey, Isabella, Bones, and Cedric. "Cool, I'll have a full band with me, neat."
Carnel stepped back inside as Falcon had just finished putting on a blue suit while Crys wore a light blue dress "Y'all look nice." Carnel said, Crys chuckled "Not bad yourself." She said as the bathroom door opened and Alicia stepped out in her crimson red dress "Holy fuck, Alicia! Where did you get that? It's beautiful!" Crys asked, Alicia giggled "Carnel bought it for me." Alicia said as she walked up to him and kissed him on the lips, she smelled of vanilla and strawberries, the scent filled Carnel's nose and took a deep breath "You smell amazing." He said, Falcon growled lightly until Alicia shot him a death glare.
Team BAWM exited the dorm and walked down the hall, Carnel turned his swagger up to one hundred as he ran his fingers through his hair and kept a smirk on his face. Falcon adjusted his collar as he followed behind Carnel and Alicia as they exited the dorm building and made their way to the dancehall. As they walked across the courtyard, an airship landed at the docks and six people walked out of the transport as another man rose out of the ground.
Diam walked up to Carnel and bumped fists with him "Sup guys, y'all look nice." Diam said, he was dressed in a white suit with a black dress shirt underneath, Red wore a black suit with red pinstripes, Cedric wore a purple suit with a purple hat that had a feather in the side of it that was accented by his dark complexion. Lacey wore tight black leather pants, a black and red corset with a black leather jacket over it, she had long, curly blonde hair that draped over her shoulders, she also had on black thigh high heel boots. Isabella wore what seemed like the exact opposite of Lacey's outfit, she wore a white long blouse with a navy-blue corset around her waist that turned into a long skirt that barely touched the ground and moved to reveal her black six-inch stilettos every time she stepped and held her skirt up slightly, Bones and Harlequin wore black jeans, black dress shirts, and black ties.
"You guys look good yourselves, how'd you get dressed so fast?" Carnel asked, Diam chuckled "It's amazing what fear can make a person do." Diam said as he patted his pistol in his waistline, Carnel shook his head before he led the group to the dancehall. Carnel looked around the large room and walked up to the stage, Yang walked by while she carried a large speaker "Put that over there." Carnel said as he climbed up on the stage.
"Yo! Diam, Red, Cedric, Harlequin, Lacey, Bones! Get up here!" Carnel said, the six of them quickly ascended the stairs and joined Carnel on the stage. "Alright so, Diam and Red will be up here with me, Lacey I want you on back up vocals. Cedric, you take bass while Bones, you take electric. Harlequin, you're on drums and Midi Pad." Carnel said, everyone nodded and took their places. "Alright, let's get warmed up before the crowd arrives." Carnel said as everyone readied themselves.
*An Hour and a Half later*
"Hmm, not bad. You said that y'all were just warming up?" Falcon asked as Alicia watched on intensely, Carnel nodded "Yeah, that was just practice. It's been a while since we've had the whole group together." Carnel said as Diam tossed him a bottle of water that he quickly chugged and tossed into the recycling bin as people started to fill the room. JNPR and RWBY walked in with Sun and a blue haired man, two Atlas guards stood by a pillar with an orange haired girl between them.
After everyone got settled and conversed amongst each other, Carnel cleared his throat into the microphone to get the room's attention "Wassup bitches! We're your entertainment for tonight, we're Atlas's Most Wanted." Carnel said as he pulled up his hood over his head. A heckler called across the crowd to the stage "Boo! Get off the stage!" The man said, Carnel chuckled "How about we step outside, I got about seven things I can say to you. Eight if you count one in the chamber." Carnel said, the man quieted up as he was met with laughter from the crowd.
Carnel reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vape pen, he took a large hit before he passed it to Diam who in turn hit it and passed it. Carnel exhaled through his nose like a dragon as a distorted beat came through the speakers and drowned out the amplifiers.
(Ca – Carnel, D – Diam, Ce – Cedric, R – Red, L – Lacey
Bad Moon – Hollywood Undead
Ca: I wait till midnight, I can feel a cold breeze, a box of moonlight, a silhouette of palm trees. With one foot in the grave, beware of what I crave, my loneliness is the only bitch that holds me.
R: No use in thinking 'bout it, don't need a reason, the moon is changing me, yeah, my heart is beating. You better run away before it gets too late, black sunsets on the sky and I'm thinking.
Ca: Is there anybody out there? Is there anyone home? Hope you're awake for the nightmare, hope you stay for the show.
R: You know how it is when you're just waiting on that bad, bad moon to rise. You know how it is 'cause we're just waiting on that bad, bad moon to rise. Just let the bad moon do it, bad moon do it, bad moon do it, you know how it is 'cause I'm just waiting on that bad, bad moon tonight.
Ca: So take my hand now, I welcome you to my bad dream up in the clouds now, that bad moon comes and it grabs me. I see the city glow, the city is my soul and when it takes control, it's got me thinking these bad things.
R: So let's not talk about it, I know the deal's done, there ain't no getting 'round this, your ship is sinking. Get to your knees and pray, blue skies, they turn to grey, black sunsets in your eyes, am I dreaming?
Ca: Is there anybody out there? Is there anyone home? Hope you're awake for the nightmare, hope you stay for the show.
R: You know how it is when you're just waiting on that bad, bad moon to rise. You know how it is 'cause we're just waiting on that bad, bad moon to rise. Just let the bad moon do it, bad moon do it, bad moon do it, you know how it is 'cause I'm just waiting on that bad, bad moon tonight.
D: Blacked out streets, looking like a wolf, bad moon up, need to check my pulse. Creep in the woods and I got you shook, eyes locked in, gonna get you hooked. No look pass, coming up real fast, sip on the flask then I hit that gas no time to crash, gonna make it last, wake up inside in a cool black mask. Got gold fangs, I'm with my kin no silver chain, it burns my skin hitting those threes, I was born to win pop from the trees and I give you a grin. Check out the hairs that grows on my skin that's just the beast crawling within, blood stains on my fresh white Nikes, oh my God, what the fuck did I do last night?
R: You know how it is when you're just waiting on that bad, bad moon to rise. You know how it is 'cause we're just waiting on that bad, bad moon to rise. Just let the bad moon do it, bad moon do it, bad moon do it, you know how it is 'cause I'm just waiting on that bad, bad moon tonight.
The beat faded out as the crowd cheered and almost seemed to rush the stage. Carnel, Diam, and Red simultaneously took one step back from the edge, Carnel looked over at Diam who nodded "Do it to 'em." Diam said as another beat came on, Red and Diam backed away as Carnel bobbed his head along with the beat.
Villains - RVDY (Feat. Cloudy Nights)
Ca: Yeah, this song is mean bruh. Yeah, this song is different, I made this in an instant to create the distance. Yeah! Yo, let me kill it though!
The bass dropped as Carnel crouched down toward the crowd as he started to spit bars
Ca: Sick of all the love songs, yeah I think I'm done with that. So I had them make a beat, so they can really hear me rap. You don't wanna hear me snap, if you think you better well then, please step up the bat otherwise just take it back. Freestyle on a road trip, put up your best and I'll roast it, bars so hard that the boys I knew took notice, you know this. Shout out to Diam, he came to me, Cerberus, it's yours truly. It's Harlequin, it's Big Red, man, that's my crew, we keep it moving.
Ca: So yeah oh yeah, Y'all don't wanna see it, this is what I had to do to make you all believe it. So whatcha gonna do, I just made a move I'm the only one that's got nothing left to lose. Yeah, walking through the city, running out of time. A villain's just a villain, till you read between the lines, I try to be the hero, but I'm going out my mind. I had to see the dark before I stepped inside the light, yeah!
Ca: People always asking how you deal with me, oh baby! I apologize to those who've never seen me crazy. Hold on, hold on, so hold on baby, hold on cuz I'm about to go yeah, I'm about to go baby, I'm about to go. Oh lord. Oh lord. Oh lord.
Ca: Yeah, and we back up in it for the second time, three-point stance it's Stephen time, free throw line for the tech inside. Undead, it's for the tribe, cloudy weather don't step outside, and if you really want it girl, no more mister nice guy. Everything that I've ever done, walk the line and I'll never run, make it better this endeavor. Whatever, I want it done. So let's get it finished while evil replenished, this is the sentence I never diminish, I always insisted on being a menace.
Ca: So yeah oh yeah, y'all don't wanna see it, this is what I had to do to make you all believe it. So whatcha gonna do, I just made a move I'm the only one that's got nothing left to lose. Yeah, walking through the city, running out of time. A villain's just a villain, till you read between the lines, I try to be the hero, but I'm going out my mind. I had to see the dark before I stepped inside the light, yeah!
As Carnel finished rapping on stage, he dropped the mic and backed away from the edge as the crowd cheered. Falcon looked stunned as Alicia cheered and whistled "That's my baby!" She yelled as Carnel walked to the back of the stage.
Carnel walked back to the mic stand and placed the microphone back onto the stand, he pulled his hood down and looked over the crowd "I want to bring the mood down for a moment, for three years, I have stayed away from metal music as it brought back too many painful memories. My ex-girlfriend loved it and listening to it after her death hurt me, but my current girlfriend convinced me to sing it again, for her. So, this is a song I wrote for the woman I loved, this is for you Maple." Carnel said before he walked away from the mic stand.
As he walked near the back of the stage, Lacey placed her hand on his arm "Hey, are you gonna be able to do it?" She asked, Carnel nodded and wiped away a single tear before he cleared his throat and walked back to the mic stand as Bones played a few chords on his electric guitar which was followed by Harlequin who slammed the sticks down on the toms.
Lifelines – I Prevail
Ca: When I open my eyes and see the lies that live on the life I left behind, I feel disconnected from the place that I call home. When I try to rewind, I can't decide the way to go back to that place in time, I remember the moment that changed everything I know.
Ca: Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason who's gonna be there to make me whole? I can't stop the bleeding looking for a meaning, throw me a line and bring me back home, won't you say something? Say something? I can't do this alone. Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason throw me a line and bring me back home.
Bones walked up to the mic stand in front of him and cleared his throat slightly before he screamed into the mic
B: I live with all goodbyes doesn't matter how hard I try, they end in long nights spent up looking back at my life!
Ca: I feel disconnected from the place that I call home.
B: They hit from the blind side caught me in the blink of an eye, just like a land mine going off inside my mind.
Ca: I remember the moment that changed everything I know.
Ca: Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason who's gonna be there to make me whole? I can't stop the bleeding looking for a meaning, throw me a line and bring me back home, won't you say something? Say something? I can't do this alone. Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason throw me a line and bring me back home.
B: This life can cut like a knife, it leaves lines and divides. This life can cut like a knife, it leaves lines that divide a before and an after.
Ca: Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason who's gonna be there to make me whole? I can't stop the bleeding looking for a meaning, throw me a line and bring me back home, won't you say something? Say something? (B:I can't do this alone!) Cut up into pieces, looking for a reason throw me a line and bring me back home.
Ca: When I open my eyes and see the lies (R: I see the lies) That live on the life I left behind (R: I see the lies)
Carnel slowly lowered his head as he backed away from the mic again and walked off stage, he pushed open the side door and walked outside into the courtyard. Carnel made it about twenty feet from the dancehall before he dropped to his knees and broke down in tears. Alicia, Falcon, Diam, Red, Isabella, and Crys ran out after him, Alicia knelt next to him and rubbed his back "It's alright sweetheart, just let it out." Alicia said as she consoled him quietly, Carnel sat up and wiped a tear away "Damn guys, I didn't want y'all to see this side of me." Carnel said through his broken façade, Diam chuckled "You're only human." Diam said as he helped him off the ground "Cedric kept the crowd going after you walked away so, they didn't get cold." Red said as they walked back into the dancehall.
Ruby and Pyrrha ran up to the group with concern plastered on their faces "Oh my gods, Carnel, are you okay?" Pyrrha asked concerned, Carnel nodded "Yeah, I just had to deal with some of my demons. I'm fine though." Carnel said as he ruffled Ruby's hair and made his way to the punch bowl, he poured a cup and pulled a bottle of vodka from a small rift. He poured some into his cup before he placed it back into the rift. He reached into the and pulled out his silver 'toke' case and made bee line for the door again, he gestured to Diam, Red, Alicia, and Falcon to follow as he walked outside.
Carnel walked over to a bench and sat down before he popped open the case to pack a bowl "Oh hell yeah!" Diam and Red said in unison, he put the bowl to his lips and sparked his lighter as it ignited the bud in the bowl. Carnel took a big hit before he passed it down the line, after a few rotations and replacing of cashed bud, Carnel put the paraphernalia back into its case and said case back into the Rift. The five people walked back inside with blood shot eyes and large grins plastered on their face, Crys sighed when she saw them "Are you fucking kidding me?" She asked, Carnel laughed before he walked over to the punch bowl and grabbed the bottle of vodka from the Rift again.
(Disclaimer: The following is a work of fiction, DO NOT attempt to recreate, reenact, or reproduce any of the following events. – Nightmare 6-4, RebelKira, and The Burning Ruler)
He unscrewed the cap and poured half the bottle into the punch before he replaced the bottle back into the Rift, he stirred it up before he poured two cups and brought them over to Falcon and Alicia "Here guys." Carnel said as they took the cups, Falcon sipped from the cup and almost spit it out "What did you do to it?" Falcon asked in a hushed tone, Carnel chuckled "I spiked the punch bowl." Carnel said. Crys overheard the two talking and quickly moved Ruby and Ren away from the punch bowl before she moved Blake and Yang closer to it. Carnel nudged Falcon and gestured toward the punch bowl "Get in there and talk to her." Carnel said as he pushed the metal manipulator toward the table. After Carnel got Falcon away from him, he signaled Cedric over to him; Cedric leaped off the stage and walked over to Carnel.
"Cedric, you see that blonde over there with the honkers, the huge badonkers, I need you to seduce and distract her for the night." Carnel said, Cedric gave him a salute before he adjusted his suit "Oh she's gonna get some chocolate thunder tonight." Cedric said before he strutted toward Miss Goodwitch. Carnel watched as Goodwitch brushed Cedric off, but he shook his head before he went over to the punch bowl and made two cups of 'punch' and walked back over to Miss Goodwitch.
"Alright, let's get this party going in full swing." Carnel said before he, Diam, and Red got back up on stage. He grabbed the mic from the stand and moved the mic stand out of the way "What's up, party people! We having a good time?!" Carnel asked loudly, he was greeted with cheers and whistles. "Alright, now how about we get this party really started!" Carnel said before he was met with a roar of cheers.
Carnel watched as Ozpin and Ironwood left the dancehall in a hurry, Red was quick to lock the door behind them, Carnel cleared his throat and snapped his finger, he reached in and pulled out a sandwich bag of pink tablets "Who wants to get fucked up?!" Carnel asked before he handed the bag to Lacey to distribute, a girl with orange hair that had blue highlights came up to Lacey and stuck out her tongue, Lacey placed a tablet on her own tongue before she kissed the girl deeply. Everyone cheered and yelled in excitement as Lacey pulled away, Carnel laughed and yelled into the mic "That's how we do it in Atlas!" Carnel yelled as Harlequin started a beat on the midi pad.
Carnel pulled his blazer and dress shirt off before he placed them into the rift, the women in the crowd cheered wildly "This one goes out to all the ladies and to my girl." Carnel said as the 808s brought the room back to life.
Numb – Neffex
Ca: Everything you do, I can't seem to get enough you got me feeling good, yeah, you got me feeling numb. Touchin' on your body feels like takin' on a drug you got me feeling good, yeah, you got me feeling numb. Everything you do, I can't seem to get enough you got me feeling good, yeah, you got me feeling numb.
He knelt toward the ground and placed his two fingers under Alicia's chin as he sang to her, her eyes were filled with both love and lust as she longed for his touch.
Ca: Girl, you got me shook from the way your body looks, got me writin' hooks got me feelin' like a rook, I don't do it by the book but for you I'll take a look.

Touchin' on your body feels like takin' on a drug, you got me feeling good, yeah, you got me feeling numb. Everything you do, I can't seem to get enough you got me feeling good, yeah, you got me feeling numb.
Carnel stood up and walked back over to the center of the stage, he pulled a pre-rolled blunt out of his rift and sparked it up before he passed it to Diam who took two tokes and passed it to Red. "Alright for this next one I'm need you all to get on your mother fuckin' feet and get fucking wild!" Carnel yelled as Harlequin scratched in a new beat.
Hype – Neffex
Ca: I stay loose, I stay hype, I stay loose, I stay hype, I stay loose, I stay hype I could do this all night 'cause I do, what I like Yeah, I do, what I like Yeah, I do, what I like. Sipping goose, sipping sprite and I go with the flow. Yeah, I go with the flow yeah, I go with the flow 'cause I know, I'm the show. In the zone, here I go, in the zone, here I go in the zone, here I go, yeah, they know, I'm a pro.
The beat went down before it picked itself right back up
D: Let's go, let's go!
Carnel and Diam bobbed their head and danced around on stage as the bass dropped and shook the building as the bass slammed, Carnel looked over a Diam who shot him a thumbs up and showed him a picture from Cedric, the picture was a POV angle of Miss Goodwitch getting slammed from behind. "She'll be busy for a while, let's turn up!" Carnel said before he jumped into the second verse.
Ca: If I go, I'ma get when I flow, I'ma hit and I know, I'm the kid. I'm a show, don't forget I'ma blow up winning. Got my flow so vivid here we go, just beginning. Yeah, I throw every inning got my flow, so legit all I know is my shit where I go, they come with, Melone in this bitch. Rockstar, making hits got guitar in this shit, leaving scars, 'cause we lit all these bars that I spit, yeah.
Carnel backed away and tossed the mic to Diam "I'm taking a breather, you're up." Carnel said before he hopped off stage, Harlequin set up a makeshift DJ rig in the back while Diam addressed the crowd, Diam looked back at Harlequin who gave him a thumbs up. "Alright party people, I want you to raise both your middle fingers and throw them into the air!" Diam yelled before the audience complied and filled the air with middle fingers. Harlequin tapped away on the midi pad and let the 808s shake the room as the bass slammed and shook the floor (MFU – Flosstradamus)
Carnel walked toward the back where Lacey was "Hey, have you seen Bones?" Carnel asked loudly so Lacey could hear him over the EDM that roared from the stage. "Yeah, I seen him go that way toward the bathrooms." Lacey said, Carnel nodded "Thanks Lace." Carnel said before he made his way through the crowd with the occasional drunk girl touching on his body "Hey, no grabbing. I'm like museum, look but don't touch." Carnel said with a chuckle. Carnel broke from the crowd and walked toward the men's bathroom "Yo Bones, where you at…" Carnel started to say as he opened the door but stopped when he saw Bones leaned against the counter with an orange haired girl with four pigtails knelt in front of him, she pulled away with an audible pop "Ooh, friend of yours?" She asked, Bones shook his head "Nah, that's my boss." Bones said before Carnel slammed the door shut and walked away from the bathroom.
"You find him?" Lacey asked, Carnel chuckled "Oh yeah, and some chick with orange hair was blowing him." Carnel said, Lacey busted out laughing and leaned over with her hand on her thigh "Oh that's fucking hilarious, his name is Bones and she's on his bone." Lacey said as she cracked herself up. Carnel rolled his eyes and walked away, he walked back over to where Falcon stood, Falcon looked him up and down "So, why'd you take your shirt off?" Falcon asked, Carnel shrugged "Eh, heat of the moment. Also, don't go to the bathroom for like twenty minutes." Carnel warned, Falcon chuckled "Yep, already saw." Falcon said as he put his middle finger inside his cheek and made a popping sound with his mouth.
Carnel felt a hand on his waist and he looked down to see Alicia wrapped around him "Hey babe." Carnel said, she giggled and placed her hands on his chest "You… you are… are just so… so sexy." She said as she lightly slurred her words. "Yeah, she's a little tipsy." Falcon said before he hiccupped, Carnel laughed "Looks like you are too." Carnel said, Falcon laughed lightly.
"Alright party people, I want to bring some soul to this party before we continue, cause this night is just beginning." Diam said as Harlequin got back on the drums and Diam was joined by a dark-skinned man with a fedora.
The Man – Aloe Blacc
The man in the fedora played on his trumpet as Harlequin slammed the sticks down on the toms and the snare, Diam bobbed his head along with the beat.
D: Well, you can tell everybody, yeah you can tell everybody, go ahead, and tell everybody I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
D: I believe every lie that I ever told, paid for every heart that I ever stole, I played my cards and I didn't fold. Well it ain't that hard when you got soul (R: This is my world) Somewhere I heard that life is a test, I've been through the worst but still, I give my best. God made my mold different from the rest, then he broke that mold, so I know I'm blessed (R: This is my world)
D: Stand up now and face the sun, won't hide my tail or turn and run. It's time to do what must be done, be a king when kingdom comes.

D: Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man.
After Diam stopped singing, he was met with a roar of applauds and cheers, he bowed before he put the spotlight on the kid with the trumpet "What's your name, kid?" Diam asked, the teen was hesitant at first but gave in "Flynt, Flynt Coal." The teen said nervously, Diam held Flynt's arm up "Give it up for Flynt!" Diam yelled which caused the crowd to cheer louder.
Carnel kissed Alicia on the forehead before he moved back into the crowd, Alicia giggled "Oh he's so cute, I wonder if he's dating anyone?" She said to herself as if she had a sudden epiphany, Falcon rolled his eyes before he went to get more 'punch'. Blake was standing there when Falcon showed up, she looked down at the floor and brushed some hair behind her ear "H…Hi Falcon." She said nervously as she held her cup of punch, Falcon poured a cup and hammered it back "Hey cutie." Falcon said which caused her to blush hard, he moved over next to her and wrapped his arm around her back "No need to be distant, I know you've been watching me. I've been watching you too, and I gotta say, I like what I see." Falcon said in a sensual tone, Blake blushed harder before she sipped from her cup.
"Alright, alright! Make some room!" Carnel yelled as the crowd split in half, Red stood at the next to the stage directing in front of Carnel "You ready?" Carnel asked, Red nodded as he held his hands together to create a step platform, Carnel turned around and started to run backwards toward Red, the moment his foot touched down on Red's hand, Red launched him into the air. Carnel did two backflips in the air before he landed on the stage and dabbed on the crowd, the crowd erupted in cheers as Carnel bowed.
"Alright party people! Who wants to get fucked up!?" Carnel asked loudly, the crowd roared with cheers and whistles. "Let's do some mother fucking SHOTS!" Carnel yelled loudly as Harlequin started DJing again. Carnel, Diam, and Red walked off stage where they were finally joined by Bones "All good?" Carnel asked, Bones chuckled as the girl walked out and winked at Carnel and Bones "Apparently her name is Neon and she's in the festival. She told me while she had her hands against the bathroom stall." Bones said, Carnel raised his hand "Dude, I don't need to know. You just better hope your pull-out game is strong." Carnel warned before he snapped his fingers and pulled out a stack of shot glasses along with two bottles of Ciroc Red Berry.
Ten people lined up at a table where Carnel sat out ten shot glasses and filled up each of them, he handed the bottle to Isabella before he took his place in line "Ready! 1. 2. 3. Hammer time!" Carnel yelled before the line in unison hammered the shots back, they slammed them back down to which Isabella refilled them. They slammed shot after shot, until ten people was down to six: Carnel, Diam, Falcon, Yang, Red, and Blake, Falcon was swaying back and forth but held himself up. Carnel stood strong like he never even took a shot, Yang looked up at him "What are you?" She asked with semi-slurred speech, Carnel chuckled "Well Bronco, I've been getting fucked up since I was fifteen." He said before he slammed another shot, Yang looked confused "Bronco? I have nothing that resembles a Bronco." She said, Carnel laughed "Oh I know, but you buck like one in the sheets." Carnel said before he high fived Diam.
Yang walked up to him and put her finger in his face "Listen here you son of…" She started to say, Carnel laughed "What are you gonna do?" He asked, she immediately pushed her lips into his and forced her tongue into his mouth. She broke the kiss and pulled away "I'll see you two later tonight." Yang said before she strutted away, Alicia looked excited "I've always wanted a three way." She said excitedly, Carnel laughed out loud before he hit another shot.
"Hey Red, how… how hard can… can you hit me?" Falcon asked with his speech slurred, Red chuckled "Pretty fucking hard." He said, Falcon grabbed his collar "Do it then." Falcon said before he was immediately uppercut and sent flying through a window. The crowd got silent before Falcon jumped up and cheered, the crowd erupted in cheers as the party immediately resumed.
Carnel looked over to a corner where he saw Nora and Pyrrha making out, they had removed their tops and their breasts pressed together, Carnel immediately pulled out his scroll and started to record it as a crowd formed "Haha, this'll be some good blackmail." Carnel said to himself, he felt a source of heat next to him, so he turned to see Alicia standing there holding a lit flame in her hands "What was that?" She asked, he chuckled "I meant for personal use." Carnel said nervously, Alicia extinguished the flame as she too watched on.
Carnel looked over toward the door and saw a man with silver hair trying to leave "Hey, where you think you going?" Carnel asked as he approached the man, the man tried to make an excuse before Carnel pushed him back toward the party "Fuck you." The man said before he punched Carnel in the jaw, when the hit landed, the crowd went dead silent.
"Stand down, Ghost." Carnel said as only part of a sword blade became visible at the man's neck, Carnel rubbed his jaw "Nice hit, what's your name?" Carnel asked before he spit onto the floor, the man narrowed his eyes "Mercury, Mercury Black." The man said, Carnel nodded "Well Mercury, I just want to advise you that you ever hit me like that again and I will beat you into an inch of your life." Carnel warned before he patted the man on the shoulder. "Go, get the fuck out of here, but use the window." Carnel said as he pointed to a broken window that Falcon was knocked out of.
"Let's party!" Carnel said as he climbed back on stage, he reached into a rift and pulled out a handful of pre-rolled blunts and tossed them into the crowd. "Now light those mother fuckers up and let's get fucked up!" Carnel yelled as multiple people pulled out lighters and sparked the blunts up, clouds of smoke emerged from the crowd as it rose to the roof and the entire room started to smell of Blue Dream and Banana Kush.
"Lacey, get up here and do your thing, girl!" Carnel said before he leaped off stage, Lacey walked up on stage and took the mic as Carnel melted into the crowd and wrapped his arms around Alicia's waist.
Harlequin tapped on the midi pad again as he formed a beat.
Ain't My Fault – Zara Larsson (R3hab Remix)
L: It ain't my fault you keep turnin' me on, it ain't my fault you got, got me so gone, it ain't my fault I'm not leavin' alone, it ain't my fault you keep turnin' me on.
L: I can't talk right now, I'm lookin' and I like what I'm seein', got me feelin' kinda shocked right now, couldn't stop right now even if I wanted, gotta get it, get it, get it, when it's hot right now, oh my god, what is this? Want you all in my business baby, I insist please don't blame me for whatever happens next.
By the time Lacey got into her flow and Harlequin tapped out a killer beat, the crowd was already moving with people grinding on each other. Falcon and Blake danced together in the crowd with Blake pushing herself up against Falcon's body, he wrapped his arms around her and lightly kissed her neck to which she seemed to moan in ecstasy. A girl approached Carnel with a shot in her hand, she had brick red hair and olive-green eyes. Carnel attempted to take it from her, but she pulled away and placed the shot glass between her breasts.
Carnel looked down at Alicia who directed him with her eyes 'go on, mother fucker', he shrugged and went down toward her chest, the girl placed her hand on his head and played with his hair as he wrapped his lips around the glass. In one quick movement, he hammered back the shot and handed the glass back to the girl, she took the glass and placed her hand on the back of his head before she pushed her lips against his. As she let go, Alicia pushed her lips against the girl's lips and broke the kiss. The girl seemed stunned but not against it in the slightest, Carnel was the most surprised of the three.
L: No, I-I-I-I can't be responsible if I-I-I-I get you in trouble now. See, you're-'re-'re-'re too irresistible yeah, that's for sure, so if I put your hands where my eyes can't see then you're the one who's got to hold on me. no, I-I-I-I can't be responsible, responsible. It ain't my fault.
The beat dropped and sent the crowd into what almost seemed like a trance as it all flowed together.
L: It ain't my fault you came in lookin' like that you just made me trip, fall, and land on your lap. Certain bad boy smooth, body hotter than a sun I don't mean to be rude, but I'd look so damn good on ya.
L: Ain't got time right now missed me with that "What's your name, your sign" right now, it's light outside, I just called an Uber and it's right outside. Oh my god, what is this? Want you all in my business baby, I insist please don't blame me for whatever happens next.
As Lacey sang, Alicia pushed her body up against Carnel and grinded against him before he kissed her on the neck. Carnel noticed that the warm feeling he had was fading 'Shit, I'm sobering up.' Carnel thought to himself, he leaned down and whispered in Alicia's ear "Wanna go do some shots with me?" He asked, she nodded, and he led her out of the crowd.
Carnel walked up to where Isabella was standing and sat down two shot glasses, Carnel snapped his fingers and pulled an entire case of liquor out of the rift and sat it on the ground next to Isabella. She grabbed a fresh bottle of peach vodka and poured two shots, Alicia and Carnel slammed the shots backs before they sat the glasses back down. Isabella poured them another shot, but Alicia took his shot and placed it between her breasts "Come and get it." She said seductively which had drawn a small crowd that was growing slowly. Carnel kissed the top of her left and right breast before he wrapped his lips around the shot glass and tipped it bottoms up, the crowd cheered loudly.
"Falcon! I challenge you to a drink off! Match me shot for shot!" Carnel said, but Falcon held his hands up "No thanks, I like my liver." Falcon said as he danced with Blake who was grinding against him. "I'll take you on, pussy!" A voice said. Carnel looked over to see Cardin approaching him. Carnel stood on the other side of the table from Cardin and he poured the two of them a shot, they clinked the glasses and slammed them back. Cardin went shot for shot against Carnel for twenty shots, by the twenty-first shot, Cardin lost his balance and collapsed on the ground. Carnel held his arms up in victory as he started to wobble back and forth, Diam grabbed his shoulders and balanced him "I gotcha bro." Diam said as Carnel regained his footing.
Carnel looked across the room and saw that everyone was in a state of pure bliss and ecstasy, as he was surveying the crowd, Isabella tapped him on the shoulder "Hey Carnel, can I talk to you for a moment outside?" She asked, he nodded before he followed her out a back door, they walked out into the moonlight. "What's up?" Carnel asked as he sat down on a bench, she reached into her purse and pulled out a couple folded pieces of paper "Maple wanted me to give this to you, in case she passed away." Isabella said as Carnel took the paper.
He unfolded the paper and read it silently to himself as tears started to form 'Carnel, if you're reading this than that means I'm gone. I know you must be in so much pain and I wish I could be there to comfort you, the time we had together was something that I cherished with all my heart and I will always love you. But for your sake, I want you to be able to move on and not do something stupid and self-destructive, so I wrote you this song in that maybe it'll help you move on. I love you forever, Carnel and I long for the day that we meet again, until then, I will always be with you. Forever yours, Maple.' Carnel finished reading and wiped away a tear that streamed down his cheek.
"Do… do you think you could sing it one day?" Carnel asked as he handed her to song but kept the letter, she folded the lyrics and put them in her purse "I'd be happy to." Isabella said as Carnel stood up, she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big hug "We're here for you, whatever you need." Isabella said, Carnel chuckled "In that case, you got one of those blunts I tossed out?" Carnel asked, Isabella giggled and pulled one out of her purse. He placed the spliff in his mouth and sparked the tip, he took a large drag before he exhaled a cloud of smoke slowly.
"Bad thoughts again?" Isabella asked concerned, Carnel nodded "Yeah, I hope one day I can get rid of them." Carnel said as they walked back inside. Carnel pulled out his scroll and snapped a picture of the crowd along with other things like Cardin passed out on the floor with 'I'm a dick bag' written on his along with the drawing of a penis. He also snapped a picture of Jaune who was passed out in the corner with some girl with dark blonde hair in his lap. 'Oh shit, get it Jaune.' Carnel said to himself as he walked around the room, as he neared the bathrooms, he heard the distinct sounds of moans and grunts coming from the male bathroom.
'Now this is a fucking party.' Carnel thought to himself as he looked around, he looked down at the ground and noticed he still had two shadows "Hey Ghost, you can take the night off. I think I'm good for tonight." Carnel said, an ethereal voice spoke around "Thank you, sir. I will see you in the morning." Ghost said before the second shadow disappeared. Carnel walked back to the stage and quickly ascended the stairs, the crowd cheered wildly as Carnel grabbed the mic "Give it up for Harlequin!" Carnel yelled, the crowd roared with cheers and applause.
"Alright, so we're just about to end this bitch, but I wanna send y'all off with one last song." Carnel said as Harlequin formed another beat for Carnel to rap over, Carnel nodded slowly as he got into the groove.

Carnel raised the mic up into the air and yelled "Thank you! Goodnight! Good luck at the Vytal Festival, beware of Team BAWM because that's my team! Oh yeah, remember to wrap it before you tap it!" Carnel said before he placed the mic back on the stand, Carnel watched as the large crowd started to disperse. Diam walked up and handed Carnel a stack of papers "What the hell are these?" Carnel asked as he took them from his LT. Diam laughed "Scroll Numbers, you got quite a lot of admirers. I got some too as did Red and Bones." Diam said as Carnel put the numbers in his pockets. As he hopped off stage, the same girl with Brick Red hair walked up to him and handed him a piece of paper "Call me sometime, alright cutie?" She said before she winked and strutted away, she made sure to pop her hips with each step. He looked down at the paper that read 'Octavia, Team NDGO'.
Carnel looked around the room to make sure he and Diam were secluded "So, did we get the information we needed?" Carnel asked, Diam nodded "Yeah, that dude who hit you has been sighted with the guy who slit your throat years ago." Diam said as he gave Carnel a picture of the man. Carnel looked at the time and chuckled "I guess y'all should crash here." Carnel said, Bones looked up and ripped down a giant curtain "I'll make tents!" Bones said as he went to work making makeshift tents. Carnel facepalmed at the utter stupidity of his drunk friend "Bro, I got like some mattresses in my Rift." Carnel said, Bones looked at the curtains and broken wooden curtain rod then back at the mob boss.
"So, no on the tents?" He asked, Carnel laughed as he started to pull out a couple mattresses, Carnel took the curtain and covered the broken window before he left for his dorm. He made a stop in the courtyard and looked out into the night sky "Did you have a fun time, Mr. Melone?" A voice asked from behind him, Carnel turned around to see Ozpin standing there with his mug. Carnel chuckled "So, I take it you know everything." Carnel said, Ozpin chuckled and took a sip from his mug.
"I know, and I will say that it was better for them to drink and try these new things while here on campus instead of out there where anything could happen, at least here they were in no danger because I know you didn't want any of them to get hurt. As for the, well, other stuff, y'all are at that age where you will be doing these kinds of things and at least you urged safety. Don't worry about any damages, we can fix them with ease and material items are replaceable, now I think you should be getting to sleep." Ozpin said, Carnel rolled his eyes "Yeah yeah, I'm going." Carnel said before he set off for his dorm, Ozpin spoke up one more time "Mr. Melone." Ozpin said, Carnel spun around and looked at the man "Good luck, and please put a shirt on." Ozpin said, Carnel laughed as he walked away.
*Thirty Minutes Later* (NSFW Content ahead! 18+ only)
The headboard slammed against the wall accompanied by the sound of muffled moans with each thrust, Yang's breast bounced with every thrust as Alicia's mouth was the only muffling Yang's moans of ecstasy. Alicia's breasts were pressed up against Yang's their bodies moved in sync, Carnel looked over to where Falcon and Blake were in his bed, but Falcon seemed hesitant to do anything. "Come on don't you quit, mother fucker! Get in there and tear it up, make it so she can't walk properly." Carnel said as the movement stopped and started again with a single thrust, Alicia gasped in ecstasy as Yang took her breasts into her mouth and left hand.
(End of NSFW content)
Falcon woke up with a shiver "Damn Carnel, close the window." Falcon said as he moved the covers over him and Blake, Carnel chuckled "What window?" Carnel said as he toked on his blunt while Alicia and Yang were asleep next to him. Falcon lifted his head up and noticed a massive hole in the wall where the window once was "What happened?" Falcon asked, Carnel laughed lightly "Well, someone stole Nora's grenade launcher and fired at this dorm room. We were all passed out drunk when it happened so no one woke up." Carnel said as he took one last toke of his blunt and tossed it out of the wall hole.
"… I have no words." Falcon said as Blake was waking up "Oh, my head. What happened?" She asked groggily, Carnel chuckled "Y'all fucked. And before you start to get embarrassed and let it get awkward, you should know that Alcohol makes all your inhibitions disappear, so what ever y'all did was your true feelings. I.e. the sex." Carnel said as Blake got out of Falcon's bed, Carnel stood up and walked to the bathroom, stark naked.
"Oh yeah, nice tits, Blake." Carnel said before he disappeared into the bathroom, Falcon shot up out of bed "Dude, not cool." Falcon said, Carnel stuck his head out of the bathroom and looked at Falcon "Nice dick, dude." Carnel said before he shot him a finger gun with a tongue click and a wink. "What the fuck?! Who do you think you are?" Falcon asked, Carnel strolled out now wearing pants "I'm Mr. Boombastic call me fantastic, touch me on me back she say I'm Mr. Romantic." Carnel sang out loud, Falcon reached for his hunk of metal but saw a laser shine down from the tower "You forget about Redeye?" Carnel asked, Falcon moved his hand away from the metal.
Carnel stuck his hand out the window and displayed the hand sign for her to stand down, Carnel turned around when he heard the door handle jiggle. Crys opened the door and it immediately fell off the hinges "… I want new teammates." Crys said before she walked into the dorm room. Carnel reached down and tossed his two lovers their bra and panties, Carnel walked up and fastened their bra straps for them before he kissed both girls on the lips.
Carnel pulled on his jeans and threw a shirt on, Ruby walked by and looked in the dorm "There you are, Yang. We were wondering where you were and Blake, why are you two in here?" Ruby asked, Carnel tensed up and for the first time in his life, filtered what he was about to say. "Well… they had… a little too much to drink so we let them stay in here." Carnel said as he saved her innocence. "Oh, well whenever you two are ready, we'll be in our room." Ruby said before she ran back down the hall.
"And what the fucked happened to the wall?" Crys asked, Carnel shrugged "I think someone stole Nora's grenade launcher." Carnel said, Crys thought to herself "So who would do it?" She asked out loud. "My guess, one of Cardin's boys, seeing as how we humiliated him." Carnel said as he thought about the night before. Falcon grabbed a pair of sunglasses from the nightstand and put them on "Dude, how are you not in pain right now?" He asked, Carnel chuckled "I've built up sort of a tolerance. It takes a lot to get me fucked up." Carnel said, Crys shook her head.
"Can you girls put on some other clothes beside your bra and panties?" Crys said as she looked away, Falcon grabbed Blake's clothes and handed them to her. She quickly put them on and got dressed, Yang quickly put her own clothes on "Alright, I'm gonna take off. I'll call you later, okay?" Yang said before she kissed Carnel on the lips, he reached down and squeezed her ass as he kissed her.
Blake kissed Falcon on the lips and followed Yang out of the room, Alicia put her own clothes and laid back down in Carnel's bed as he got into his bed next to her. "Seriously? Are we not doing anything about the giant fucking hole in the wall?!" Crys asked, Carnel waved his hand "I'll get Red to fix it later, then we find the person who did it." Carnel explained as he flipped on the TV, Carnel stood up and snapped his fingers before he reached into the Rift and pulled out an unopened PS4. "I forgot to set my stuff up." Carnel said as he plugged the HDMI cable into the TV.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something." Carnel said before his stomach roared, he chuckled to himself "Right, food." Carnel said before he pulled on his jeans and his shoes, Falcon shuffled slowly to the bathroom while Alicia got out of bed. Carnel was quick to smack her on the ass, she looked back at him with a seductive look before she pulled on a pair of leggings that formed around her curves and a low cut, tight, long sleeve shirt. Falcon shuffled out of the bathroom and slowly got dressed "Gods my head hurts." Falcon said as he slowly pulled on his jeans, Carnel laughed "Eh, you'll get used to it. Other than that, how'd it feel to finally get your dick wet?" Carnel asked, Falcon blushed at the thought of Blake's body under his.
"It was fun, I see why you love it so much." Falcon said as he tried to hide his embarrassment, Carnel laughed "Dude, you did more than just like it. After my little pep talk, you beat those cheeks. But yeah, that's the lifestyle I live: Money, Pussy, Weed, in that order." Carnel said as he slipped his 1911 into his waistline. "Come on, that food won't eat itself." Carnel said before BAWM left for the cafeteria.
Carnel pushed open the cafeteria door and came to a sight that he's seen before, other students had their heads down on the table groaning in pain. Pyrrha and Nora wouldn't look at each other while Jaune had a large smile on his face, the seven Undead members were posted on the wall when BAWM walked in. Someone stood up from the crowd of students "There's the party master!" The student yelled, Carnel looked around as he was met with thunderous applause and cheers.
"Yes, yes! Your god has arrived, settle down." Carnel said, immediately turning on his ego. Falcon seemed hesitant to talk to Blake "Scared?" Carnel asked, Falcon nodded sheepishly. Carnel thought for a moment "I have an idea, put this in your ear and repeat everything I say." Carnel said as he handed him a wireless earbud. Falcon took the earpiece and placed it into his ear, Carnel slapped him on the ass "Go get her, Falco." Carnel said as Falcon slowly made his way to where Blake was sitting.
He slowly sat down in front of her "H…Hi Blake." Falcon said nervously, she smiled "Hi Falcon." She replied with a smile, Falcon couldn't help but to stare at her. Carnel sat in the back so he had an angle to see both their faces 'Alright playboy, let's do this.' Carnel thought to himself. "Listen Blake…" Carnel started to say.
"Listen Blake, last night was so much fun. I had so much fun with you and for the first time, I saw you genuinely smile and that made me feel warm inside. You made me feel special and on the dance floor it was just you and me there, I felt like I could dance with you forever and frankly, I wouldn't mind dancing with you forever." Falcon said as he repeated Carnel word for word, Blake grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into her lips. Carnel subtly celebrated with a miniature fist pump, Carnel got up and went to grab a plate of food.
Carnel went and sat down between Alicia and Yang at the table, he looked down the line to where Falcon was and whispered into his scroll "Good job Romeo, now take that earpiece out." Carnel said in a hushed tone as the seven Undead joined his table, Crys sat to the right of Diam and across from Alicia. "I don't suppose you could help me out next?" Crys asked, Carnel chuckled "Sure, but first let's figure out who blew up our dorm." Carnel said as he bit into a piece of bacon.
