I don't own any Intellectual Properties
"Haha, I can't believe that happened to you!" Yang laughed out, as she, her sister, Weiss and Harry sat in the mess hall of Beacon.
The four had spent hours together now, hanging out; after having breakfast, followed by a rather...person set of situations. Now, they were finishing up their game.
Harry had his arms crossed in frustration, as Ruby, Weiss and Yang had varying reactions to Yang's final question. Yang asked the group their most embarrassing moment. And Harry happened to tell them the time when an elder set of twins pulled a prank on him, which involved him leaving the bathroom of the Gryffindor Common Room; and his cloths...disappearing.
"Oh God, that sucks for you!" Yang teased. "Naked in front of all your classmates! Good, I would've loved to see that!" She admitted.
Harry gave her a look. "You wanna see a twelve year old version of me…naked...and people say I'm perverted." He said dryly.
Yang just gave him a wink. "I'm sure twelve year old me and twelve your old you, would've gotten together really well." She commented, causing Harry to incline his head.
Harry smiled faintly at the idea of Yang being with him during the darkest parts of his life. Her fiery personality illuminating the darkness.
"I'm the one who usually does the pranks; you would've been my classic target!" Yang added with a grin.
Harry's smile fell and he gave her an annoyed look. "I should've seen that coming." He said dryly, only for Yang to stick her tongue out at him; and she teasingly rubbed her foot along his ankle.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." Yang responded.
"No, you're not." Harry responded, causing Yang's grin to widen.
However the duo jumped when they both were kicked by both Ruby and Weiss. Harry and Yang looked away from each other, and towards a pouting Ruby and scowling Weiss.
"You two love-birds done?" Weiss asked irritated.
"Not remotely." Yang responded, giving Weiss a teasing grin.
Ruby gave Yang a strange look. "For...for my last question…With what we all did earlier, before and after...do we...ah, feel anything, for...each other?" Ruby asked, her eyes flickering towards Harry and Weiss afterwords.
Yang, Harry and Weiss shared glances, feeling a bit awkward. "I...admit, when I first met Yang; I was attracted to her." Harry admitted honestly.
"M-Me too." Yang added, as she cast a glance at Harry. "I don't know if you feel this Sna-Harry, but. Meeting you, it's almost like I've met you before." She added.
"Like you've known me all you're life. That perhaps...maybe, in some past life or alternate world...we were..." Harry trailed off, continuing Yang's thought.
"…In love with each other." Yang finished.
Harry and Yang looked at each other for a moment, before the Sorcerer forced himself to look away. Yang glanced down at the confirmation. When she first met Harry, she found him attractive. And when they interacted, their personalities sparked. But Yang could tell Harry was only flirting with her at the time, he didn't have any...passion. But during the forest exam, in that moment when that horrid monster came out of the foliage.
Yang looked back at Harry. When he turned to look at her in the forest, when he said 'Survive at all costs, Fire-Cracker'…There was almost a loving, passionate conviction. And that's when Yang knew, and that's when the fire inside her resonated with his own. She knew they were going to be together. She however did not assume Ruby and Weiss would watch them.
"If...we're telling the truth here, and...no one's gonna know..." Weiss started, as she looked at Yang and Ruby. "…I've always had strange...attractions. Like when I saw my si..." She stopped herself from continuing. "...A-anyway. I try to suppress it. My Father says it isn't right, it isn't normal. I can only be attracted to only one aspect in what I like. I have many suitors, so I must be a diligent and well-mannered lady." She said, putting her hands in her lap.
"...Weiss..." Yang said, as she reached forward and put a hand on Weiss's shoulder. "You don't have to hide yourself from us...I mean, i've kinda gone passed that stage, don't you think." She said jokingly.
Weiss glanced down, only to feel hand grip her own. She turned her head and looked to see Ruby smiling at her. "You can trust us." She insisted.
Weiss glanced away and blushed faintly. "I um, I like both boys and girls. And I've felt a spark for Harry, a-and you, Ruby." The white haired Huntress in Training admitted.
"...A Bisexual with a Dominatrix Kink, whew..." Harry said, scratching the back of his head.
"Y-You like...me?" Ruby said in surprised, blushing a bit. "I mean, I've never thought about you and me like that...but, ah; I kinda like Harry too. I really don't want to make you upset Weiss, and I don't want to make you upset Yang. We...all like Harry, and we...kinda like each other…I know I'm out of questions, but can I ask...is...is there anyway we could make this work?" She asked a hopeful tone in her voice.
Harry shrugged. "I really have no objections here, I'd love a little Harem with you gorgeous girls. But that's me and my perverted opinion." He commented, getting a look from Yang and Weiss. They at least appreciated his honesty with the situation; he never really hid his intentions. He was very forth coming on his attraction to them, if he tried to turn it around to say...'I want you all to be happy, and if you're happy with me' or 'He'd rather not choose who he likes more, because he loves them all equally'. Yang and Weiss would see through that bullshit. Harry usually danced around questions when he wasn't under a compulsion to tell the truth, but when he spoke to them; he meant was he said usually and said what he meant. He rarely minced words, he just happened to pick and choose which words he wanted to emphasize at the moment.
"And what about you and Nui?" Yang asked, looking at Harry.
"Yeah, it's sorta obvious she's in love with you. Even with her weird, Daddy-Daughter Kink." Weiss commented.
Harry cringed a bit. "Yeah, that one's complicated. She and I aren't splitting up any time soon." He stated seriously, knowing Nui might go full Yandre psychopath if he even considered the idea.
"Well, Harry. You have four questions left, and this game's over...what do you wanna know about us? I mean, form what you don't already know." Ruby said, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. Being unable to look at him directly since the moment she performed fellatio on him.
Harry exhaled a bit, puffing his cheeks as he did. "Ah, have you lot ever partaken in the act of drinking alcohol, or smoked?" He asked curiously.
Ruby tilted her head and then she shook it. "No, but my Uncle Qrow does!" She said happily with a smile. "He's so cool!" She added.
"My Father made sure to not let me have access to anything that would appear unappealing." Weiss stated.
"...You're father has a lot of control of your life, wanting you to be normal, to be average..." Harry said, scowling as the words left his lips. He understood why she was so controlling in certain aspects. She was a girl who was deprived of choice, deprived of being able to control her life. There's only a few aspects, a few points in her life where she can have absolute control...and she takes it and holds on with all she might.
Weiss glanced away from Harry. "Weiss, you're father can't control you here. If you ever, and I mean ever need a place to stay. I will grant you asylum in a place, your father can't even dream of reaching." Harry said with a wide grin.
"Thanks, but...My Father has the whole of his company, unlimited resources, a private army at his disposal. Even you can't hope to hide me from that." Weiss said, her voice sullen. Her father made it impossible to live without him, he grew her up to rely on his money, his wealth. She knows nothing about working life, she had no experience, she has no credit, she has nothing to her name...other than her name. If she disobeyed him, he could cut her off from his money, and she would be forced to come crawling back. It's happened before...she knew it would never end.
"That, Snow Angel..." Harry started, causing Weiss to look at him, and she saw his wide smile. His serpent-like eyes gleaned a crimson for a moment, before it subsided. "...Is easily debatable. You can not comprehend what I have at my disposal. I can make it so our father could scour the hole planet and not even get the direction in which you are..." He trailed off, as he snapped his fingers. "...Like that, if you so wish. Trust me. Your father's resources...are nothing compared to mine." He insisted.
Weiss mouth formed a small smile. "…I'd...I'd like to believe that. I really wish I would." She muttered.
Harry gave her a look, but he continued to smile. He doubted her father had a Reaper under his control, a Reaper with the combined compendium of Human, SGC, UNSC, System Alliance, Reaper, Replicator, Asgard, Goa'uld, Lantean, and Forerunner Technologies. He also didn't have two very unique Reapers, unique to even the Reaper Armada, two of which he gained control of from his alternate self. One of the Reapers was a unique class, a Assertor-Class Reaper, a dozen times the size of a normal Reaper, fit with weaponry and a combative power to conquer an entire Solar System by itself. The second was an up-vamped version of a normal Reaper, but it contains a massive library of every species the Reapers have annihilated, from their cultures, to individuals, to technologies. That Reaper was created in case a civilization evolved along a different path, and the Reapers needed to self-evolve to fight the threat.
Harry seriously doubted Weiss' father could even fight against one of his tinier Reaper Destroyers he had under his command. If he really wanted to, if Weiss wanted to be safe, he could just put her on one of the Reapers and have it hyperspace-jump to the nearest Galaxy in moments.
"You'll see...soon enough." Harry insisted, Weiss' past was striking more and more cords with him. Her father's abuse of her, his immense control over her life, her constantly punished and forced to be normal. It resented…far to close to his own.
"Well...I've been to a few parties, I got a bit tipsy a few times..." Yang admitted, a bit sheepish after hearing the serious conversation Harry and Weiss had. "But, none of us are old enough to by it, you gotta be Twenty-One." She informed.
Harry rolled his eyes. 'Jesus, if this place wasn't called 'Vale', I'd assume it was bloody America.' He thought with annoyance. "Tell you what, if any of you want anything..." He trailed off, looking at Yang and Ruby. "...I'll get you something." He offered, finding the idea that these people were sacrificing their lives, and couldn't have some fun, was ridiculous. He turned and looked at Weiss. "And you, I'll get you whatever you want, so you can relax. Because I think you deserve it living under you're father's iron thumb for all your life." He stated, before he pursed his lips.
Weiss glanced away, as she fiddled wit the helm of her night gown. "W-when I was younger, m-my sister...she was...she was able to get some kind of...fruity drinks for me, she snuck it passed our father. And she gave it to me...but...but I was to afraid then. Could you possibly get me something like that?" Weiss asked, wanting to be reminded of her sister.
Yang and Ruby looked towards Harry, to see him giving her a smile. "I got some ideas…" He trailed off.
"Will it...cost something?" Weiss asked a bit unsure.
"We're friends; but if you want to give something...you're time would do just fine." Harry said in a very charismatic tone.
Weiss stared at him with wide eyes, a blush on her face and it was full blown this time. She exhaled a bit, her posture relaxing and she just looked at him. "...No one's...ever...looked out for me..." She muttered. "Done things for me, for me, not my name...T...Thank you." Weiss muttered.
"You're a lady in my Harem, I gotta look out for you." Harry said jokingly.
Weiss looked down, her blush still burning bright. "...I...guess I am." She mumbled.
"Phew, things are getting a bit hot." Yang commented, causing Weiss' smile to dim.
"Quite the opposite really." Weiss insisted, she preferred the cold.
"Alright, next question." Harry said with a sigh, as he glanced up at the ceiling. "I know I asked you this Yang, but I want to know, why all of you want to be Huntresses?" He asked.
Ruby smiled. "I just want to help people. I've always wanted to be the Hero, saving people, meeting someone extraordinary!" She admitted.
"So you're only a Huntress, because it's the only place where you can help...do good, in an extreme way" Harry commented.
Ruby smiled and shrugged. "I guess. My mom was one, and so..." She trailed off, with Yang closing her eyes at the mention of Summer.
"So, if you could become a super-hero, help hundreds of thousands of people at a time, and do good in extreme ways…but you weren't a Huntress while you did it..." He trailed off.
Ruby pursed her lips and smiled. "I don't know, maybe, probably; I just want to help. Being a Huntress is kind of a plus." She added.
Weiss closed her eyes. "My family name once held something, it once meant something great. When my Grandfather started the Schnee Company, when he created what it was. It was glorious, it was glamorous, it gave people hope. That fighting the Grimm would be easier, the surviving would be easier, that life...would be more than just living to the next day...but my father, he's ruined the company. He's done horrible things, he's done evil things...and when things didn't go his way, he'd take it out on me." She explained.
"I want to be a Huntress...because it's the only place I can do good, it's the only place I can bring my name back to where it should be. My father ruined our family's reputation, but I sure as hell am going to fix it. By any means necessary." Weiss declared.
Yang glanced down and took a breath. "I became a Huntress, because I enjoyed the thril..." She started, before she shook her head. "...No, you've all been so truthful. I...I just...I want my mom to be proud of me..." Yang admitted. "...She was so strong from what my dad told me. Now she's gone, she left...and I just want her to be back, so we can be a family again. Being a Huntress, is the only thing that connects me to my mom." Yang admitted quietly, only to feel a hand on her back.
Harry looked at her and saw Yang was rather emotional at the moment, her grin was gone and she looked rather sullen. "...P-Please Yang, tell me…tell me about your Mother?" Harry asked. "Please, everyone should add to it. Tell each out about our own families." He added, using it as one of his last questions, only having one left.
Yang closed her eyes, Ruby and Weiss watching as the blonde seemed to actually let her walls down for a moment. "...I was…I was too young. I was a little girl, in pig-tails. Ruby herself was just a baby. I remember...I remember my mom. She was there, black hair, red eyes. But the more I try to remember her, the more I end up forgetting." She muttered.
"When she was there, I was so happy. I wouldn't ever want to let her go. But I would wake up the next day, excited for another day to be with her, and...she wasn't there. It started out slow, she would be gone for one, two days at a time. But...then it grew. Weeks, she would be gone. Dad...he told me, 'Don't worry, Yang. You're Mother's a Huntress, she'll be back'...He would always tell me she'd come back. But then, she didn't...and Dad said not to worry. Slowly he got rid of her pictures, hoping I'd forget. I'd over heard him and Uncle Qrow talking, she had..." Yang trailed off, as she licked her lips.
"...She had done something bad, she was gone...she was lost. And...I'm...I'm just trying to find her." Yang admitted. "I want to find her...I want to ask her why, why she wasn't there? W-w-why did she leave me?" She asked, her voice trembling a bit.
"...I...I told you before Yang. Please listen...sometimes, if you look for an answer; you may not get the one you like. Searching for secrets that wish to be hidden, will only wrought more pain." Harry said soothingly, as he put a hand on Yang's shoulder.
Yang' head snapped in his direction and she was glaring at him with blood red eyes, her hair flickering. "What would you know!? You don't have any parents! You can't know what it's like...I know my mom loves me, I know. I just have to hear her say it! That's all!" She snapped angrily, being on the defensive. Never been so open in her life, she felt really vulnerable.
Harry closed his eyes and he felt the actual weight of those words. Yang's flames died down and her eyes turned back to lilac, and she noticed Harry's reaction. "...O-Oh God, I-I'm so sorry..." She muttered.
Harry smiled with his eyes closed. "I...I know my mother loved me. I know. And I don't even have to ask." He admitted.
"...Why?..." Yang asked quietly.
"Because I'm alive." Harry said, as he looked at her, his serpent-like eyes focusing on her. "She protected me when I was a young...from a monster." He sneered out.
"...Grimm?" Yang questioned.
"...Human. Or, what could be considered a mocking version of a human I suppose. A monster in human flesh. He killed my father, who fought to the death to protect his wife and child. And as that monster passed him, when he confronted my mother…" Harry muttered, as he glanced off. "...I remember, I can still hear her begging the monster. 'Take me instead, please...don't hurt my Harry'. But, he only laughed. And so, she sacrificed herself. She gave her life, to take his. She sacrificed her life, to ensure my own." He said, as he raised a hand and looked at his palm, as he opened and closed his fist.
"There is no doubt in my mind that my mother loved me. But can you say that about you, Yang? Please, I don't want to see you in pain; it hurts." Harry admitted.
Yang closed her eyes. "I...I have to know if she loves me..." She muttered.
"...Yang, ask yourself this. If actions speak louder than words, if there is any doubt in your head. Think about this, if she loved you. She would be here, you wouldn't have to be going through this turmoil. There is no excuse for anyone to leave their child. And...there's no excuse..." Harry said, as he reached out and brushed his fingers along Yang's cheek, causing he to look at him. "...for making you cry." He insisted.
"...I...I still have to know." Yang admitted.
"And what if...the answer you get, isn't the one you want?" Harry asked.
Yang swallowed some saliva and sniffled a bit, as she wiped away at her eyes. "...Then...I don't know." She muttered.
"...Her name..." Harry said suddenly, as he narrowed his eyes.
"Raven...Raven Branwen." Yang admitted.
'Raven Branwen...Weiss' Father…' Harry mused, as he crossed his arms. It seems his hunt has only begun.
"I loved my mom, and I know she loved you Yang." Ruby admitted with a smile. "You'll always be my big sister, you'll always have me, have Harry, Weiss; dad and Uncle Qrow!" She insisted, causing Yang to smile weakly.
"Thanks, Ruby." Yang said, getting a hold of herself.
"...I guess absent mothers is something we both can relate too." Weiss admitted, causing Yang to look at her. "My mother was around...she just tended to...to be...not all there." She added.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Harry commented.
"...It's nothing compared to what you went through. To...to watch your mother die, being just a child...I...I could never imagine." Weiss muttered, with Yang wrapping an arm around Harry's shoulders.
"Like Ruby said; I guess...we're all family." Yang commented with a smile, as she rested her head on Harry's shoulder for a moment.
"...Family..." Harry muttered, as he got a far off look in his eyes.
"Last question." Ruby said, as she nudged Harry's shin with her foot.
Harry blinked a few times, before he shook his head. "...is it? How time has flown." He commented, as he looked between the girls.
"Yeah, I really liked this." Weiss admitted with a smile on her face.
"Me too, I can't really say I'll see us all the same after this!" Ruby admitted.
"...Me neither..." Yang added, as she kept her arm around Harry's shoulders, her other hand was lower and was wrapped around his hand.
"...What, is your dream?" Harry asked, as he looked amongst the three girls.
"A dream? Oh geez, I...I haven't thought that far ahead, to be honest." Ruby muttered, as she scratched the back of her head.
"...I, I want to take control of the Schnee Company. I want to remake it, change it into something that will be awe inspiring. Something that others will see and know, is perfection. I will cut away the cancer my father formed around it, I will expand it...and bring a new pride and prestige to it. By any means." Weiss stated firmly.
"My dream...is...is to..." Yang trailed off, before she blushed a bit. "...I know it sounds kinda dull. But...I want to be a mother. I want to have a dozen children, running around. All wanting to be different things, all expanding out and being...amazing." She admitted, squeezing Harry's hand just a little tighter.
"You...want a big family." Harry muttered, his eyes flickering towards her and he had a bit of a surprised look on his face. Yang just glanced down and smiled, but she didn't answer.
Harry slowly looked up towards the ceiling, his eyes getting a distant look. "I have a dream, and an ambition. My dream won't come true, as long as my ambition is still around; but that's a thing for another time. My dream..." He trailed off.
"I see myself, sitting on a massive balcony of a large building; a house or a castle. I'm surrounded by a wife, who I adore. There are several beautiful girls there, one with white hair, one with black and red hair..." He said, causing Weiss and Ruby to blush a bit. "…And one glowing fire-cracker. Running along the long and wide stone balcony, were children with a plethora of different colored hair, boys and girl are interacting. In the distant horizon, there is no earthly tone. The sky is just blackness, illuminated only by trillions of stars. Off the horizon is a brilliant bright blue quasar. Watching over us, is a guardian. A family, with so many people...I've never really had a family; but the idea of having a large one with dozens of people is..." Harry trailed off.
"...That's...beautiful." Yang said with a smile.
Ruby and Weiss were smiling. "I...I feel like I know you all better now." Weiss admitted.
"Me too." Ruby added, as she and Weiss stood up from the table. "Class will start in an hour or so, I wanna...I wanna get myself cleaned up." She said with a faint blush.
"I'll second that." Weiss admitted, as she ran a hand through her hair.
When they were gone, Yang turned and looked at Harry. "I'm glad I did this. I'm glad I know more about you, and you...you know about me." She admitted, as she leaned forward and pecked him on the lips. Before she pulled back and stood up, before walking away.
'Unfortunately...you only know a part of who I am...h-how...how are you going to react when you see the whole?' Harry thought, feeling actual fear now. His stomach hurting a bit, from the idea of them learning who he really was.
He shook his head. 'No...I have things to do, class to go to, a robot to see...and a criminal to meet.' He thought, deciding to push his previous thoughts to the back of his mind. He would have to give them small increments of his true personality, to normalize it...make them desensitized to what he did.

Hours Later- Menagrie
On the distant island where the Faunus were held, a massive blanket of dark and gloomy clouds hung over head. The loud thunderous claps of thunder and blind flashing of lighting, masked only by the falling rain.
There was a howling shriek, as a massive Nevermore flew over the island. The hundreds of enclosures, the former homes of the poor Faunus, were empty. Destroyed by the 'Grimm' Attack not to long ago, but the rest of the civilization was gone too.
The Nevermore slammed into the ground, it's wings expanded. The Grimm clanked it's ceramic beak as it looked around.
A loud reverberating horn shook the area, the ground vibrated, the falling rain distorted for a moment. Within a moment, a bright white light shined on the Nevermore. Almost a hundred or so meters away, there was a massive one and a half-hundred large menace bathed in shadow. Underneath the white light, a burning crimson light formed underneath the white light.
The Nevermore crouched down and jumped, ready to fly away. Just as the Nevermore jumped into the air, a crimson stream, a molten alloy of energy amplifying Naquadah, ultra-dense Trinum, Uranium and Plutonium, hurled at relativistic velocities, at almost five-percent the speed of light. At such speed, the molten liquid alloy slammed into the Nevermore and released an explosive force in the Kiloton-Range, vaporizing the Nevermore in an instant.
A loud metallic thud shook the ground, as the white light scanned the demolished landscape of the former Faunus village.
Walking along the shore of the island, as a massive one hundred and sixty meter tall Reaper Destroyer. It was small compared to it's larger brothers. It had four massive, multi-jointed armor plated legs, along with five jointed appendages encircling it's 'head'. The back part of the Reaper curved upwards, taking the appearance of a massive pointed spire. Rain bathed the Reaper, as lightning danced along the sky, illuminating it's massive features.
On the shore of Menagrie, there was a distant structure…on the water, was a…city. The city was five kilometers wide, being over twenty-five square kilometers. The city was comparatively massive, the size of Manhattan. The center part of the seaward city, had dozens of high-rising towers, ranging in hundreds of meters tall. The Central structure spread out in a snow-flake like pattern, forming six individual docks, with dozens of smaller towers.
Enclosing around the massive city structure was a bright white, translucent energy shield-dome. Protecting the inhabitants from the storms, as well as aerial and aquatic Grimm. The energy shield wasn't the only thing protecting the City, it was covered along the edges, on the tops of the towers, the landing areas of the docks. All of those areas were covered in Forerunner Anti-Air Cannons, Heavy and Light, long and close ranged Artillery.
Life inside the city was booming, hundreds of thousand of happy Faunus living their lives. The shield distorting the visage of the storm, only showing sun.
Outside of the dome, lightning arched and slammed into the Lantean Energy Dome Shield, before it was redirected up towards the sky, into the black clouds. The lightning slammed into an object in the sky, illuminating it for the briefest of moments.
The object in the sky was inconceivably and almost impossibly large, with a shape and angle that would inspire horror and even insanity into those unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of it's assault.
The object held a resemblance to a cuttlefish or a sea creature, which a bulky semi-cylindrical body, with long tapering plates over the rear. It had seven long tentacle-like legs extending from the front end, and hundreds of joined legs hanging underneath it. In size, it's main body was over twenty kilometers long, it's tendrils were over seven kilometers in length; all together the horror inducing, Eldritch ship was over twenty-seven kilometers long. To put in perspective, the tallest mountain on Earth was under ten Kilometers, or if the massive Reaper landed upright, it's body would protrude out of the planet's atmosphere.
And as quickly as the dread inducing monstrosity was visible, it vanished back into the blackness of the clouds, hidden from any view. Near the domed City, a second Reaper Destroyer prowled around the city, the underside of the vessel submerged. It was up past it's legs in water, it's sensor abilities and weapon fully uncovered.
The storms raged on, before a small vessel tore through the storms and headed passed the City. The vessel was only twenty-six or so meters long, traveling at almost a thousand kilometers an hour. The ship was a bit larger than a usual Bulkhead and traveled almost five times as fast. The ship had a pair of folding winds around a round cockpit, with a forward elongated hull. The ship was a salvaged Star Courier, something Harry had collected. The Scimitar, the personal ship of Darth Maul and Sidious; and now, it was Harry's personal vessel.
His Apparition had a limited range and Harry had no plans on created a hundred or so Portkeys. They were volatile and dangerous to leave around. He naturally modified the ship, making it personal to him.
Harry sat in the cockpit of the ship, using a Neural Interface to control it. There was a faint beeping, as he passed the Reaper Destroyer on shore of Menagrie. As he passed it, he found a large factory, which he had his ship descend upon.
The Scimitar, what a blunt name. Harry decided, with it's new enhancements. With what he stood for, he named it something else. The Solaris, something improved, something shining, like a star.
–
There was a loud metallic clanking, as dozens of people were working, using advanced power tools. All of the people were...humans, or at the very least what remained of them. They're clothes were drenched in sweat. They all had something in common, wrapped around their faces were Replicator Blocks, their legs digging into the backs of their heads. On their backs, were similar Replicators, their legs dug into the people's backs, their spines.
The controlled humans all were working on, manufacturing chrome colored humanoid robots. Standing a distance away, upon an elevated walkway, was a seven foot tall, sleek humanoid automaton.
There was a pair of footsteps behind the robot, causing the sneering visage of the robot to turn it's head. It's multitude of photoreceptors landed on a duo, on a tall black haired Sorcerer and a petite blonde girl with long twirled pig-tails.
"Ohhh, so you're my new brother!" Nui chirped out at the appearance of Meta. She seemed to appear next to the robot and rubbed her hand up along automaton's chest. "A Deluxe Model!" She said with a glean in her eye.
Meta slapped her hand away. "What an annoying Meatbag." He commented, only for Nui to be cowering behind Harry, her head poking up over his shoulder.
"Daddy! My Brother's being mean to me!" Nui whined out. "He's not like Demongo at all!" She added.
Harry rolled his eyes. "Meta, Nui...I doubt you two have been formally introduced." He said, motioning to the two.
"Hiya!" Nui happily said, as she smiled at the robot.
"…Another Meatbag, oh boy." Meta commented with annoyance, as he turned around and looked over the balcony towards the constructing Cylon Warriors.
"You're fine with our Daddy, why aren't you fine with me!?" Nui whined.
"Our Father, is our Father. You, are a Meatbag. Insignificant in our equation." Meta responded bluntly.
Nui seemed to deflate. "Neuu-" She sounded, mewing in disappointment.
"Nui..." Harry trailed off, only for Nui to suddenly be brought up with new vigor.
"Oui Papa!" Nui chirped out happily.
Meta released a robotic growl, as he turned and looked over the edge of the balcony. Harry walked up next o Meta, and the tension in the robot vanished.
"Father, everything is going along..." The Automaton informed.
"I'm sensing a but." Harry commented.
"The Cylon design was rather primitive compared to more expansive counter-parts, then again we don't have a Design Seed for a Composer, so we can't mass produce Promethean Warriors. Due to our limitations, I tried to install upgrades into the Cylons, I even divided their abilities. At base, Cylons had built in automatic Ten Milometer Auto-cannons." Meta explained.
"I take it you changed that." Harry suggested.
"I changed the Infantry hierarchy, Cylon Assault Model, CQC Model, and a Long-Ranged Model. The Assault Model has a retractable Z-250 Lightrifle and a Z-390 Incineration Cannon. The CQC Model has a retractable Z-130 Suppressor, and a Z-180 Scattershot. And the Long-Ranged has a Z-750 Binary Rifle." Meta elaborated.
Nui leaned over the balcony, she kicked her leg back and waved her parasol over her shoulder. "Oh deary, deary; what a cute bunch..." She commented happily.
"I've optimized their power-distribution systems, I replaced their Deuterium-Deuterium microfusion reactors with Deuterium-Anti Deuterium, creating a much more efficient and power producing reactor. To power their new systems and their weaponry." He explained.
"Oohh, big weapons, big power...what else is big!?" Nui asked cutely.
"Their intelligence has also be improved." Meta stated.
"Nmn…that's not what I meant." Nui pouted out.
"I'm impressed, how many models are combat ready?" Harry asked, as he looked at the constructing robots.
"Two Thousand Models are in working order." Meta explained.
"Two Thousand! Daddy, they've had a while to make more...I think punishments are in order!" Nui gleefully said, smiling as she spoke.
Harry glanced at Meta. "Nui is right, I expected more." He admitted with a serious tone in his voice.
"The upgrades were a priority, there had to be more resources to be converted and with the lack of man power; construction was slow." Meta informed.
Harry pursed his lips and he looked at the humans, who had Replicator Spiders wrapped around their heads and imbedded into their backs. "I see, seventy laborers…" He frowned, he captured a few zealous hitters who where hired to fight and kill Adam, and his White Fang cooperator. The Replicator Spiders could imbed themselves into a human's Neural Synapses and Central Spinal Nervous System, and control them like puppets. "…They are rather rudimentary, but I don't have a legion of robots to construct my army. And I can't go to every random village and steal a bunch of people. These will have to do until I have a much more efficient construction force." He said with a frown.
The three looked over the edge. "Projected numbers indicate at least forty-thousand units by the end of the season, and almost a million more at the end of the year." He informed.
"End of the season; that's in time for the Vytal Festival. Forty-Thousand..." Harry trailed off, before he glanced at Meta.
"What's your plan, Daddy?" Nui asked curiously.
Harry exhaled, as he looked back at the constructing robots. "Demongo set up a meeting between Roman and myself; but before I head to Vale again. Meta, can you load up the two-thousand Cylons into...what's the Reaper outside this facility?" Harry asked, as he turned and looked upwards.
As he said that, a loud reverberating horn shook the area for a moment. "Yeb, of the Whispering Mists? Ah, my mistake." Harry said aloud, getting a more quiet horn sound in return.
"...Wow, that guy's got some good ears." Nui commented.
Harry disregarded Nui's comment, as he looked at Meta. "Is Yeb filled with those Phaetons?" He asked.
"Fifty Z-1800 Phaetons are able to be compartmentalized, and we can have your Solaris docked inside as well..." Meta informed loyally. "And we'll prep for a flight to Vale." He added.
Harry inhaled. "Actually, we're going to go on a stop first. We'll head to the heart of Atlas." He admitted.
Nui tilted her head. "...Why's that, Daddy?" She asked cutely.
Harry turned his head and a wicked smile formed on the Sorcerer's face. "This Daddy and another Daddy, are going to have a little Heart to Heart chat." He admitted, causing Nui's eye to glean crimson and she started giggling.
–
Within the Headquarters of the Schnee Dust Company, Jacques adjusted his tie as he stood at the doorway towards his office. The office on the highest point of the building, the most secure and most protected in the hemisphere.
Jacques Schnee, a man who married into the Schnee family to take over the company. Everything was a trophy to him, his wealth, his power, his two rebellious daughters, and the son he can mold into a perfect heir. Everything was perfect...well, until now.
He fixed himself up, ready for a meeting with several important clients, through video feed of course. He wouldn't dare interact with people he doesn't deem his status.
He opened the door and walked in, and as he closed the door; he noticed something. In his office, his tall desk chair was turned around, it's back towards the door. There was a series of locking bolts, causing Jacques to quickly turn around and see his highly secure door locked itself and sealed him into the room.
Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick, an assortment of small turning gears caused Jacques to whirl around. He turned to see his chair slowly turning, and he saw someone sitting in the chair. Sitting in the chair was a rather well-dressed man, wearing a black suit. Obscuring his face was a white mask, leaving portions of his jawline exposed.
The make had a simple design, with a mischievous smirk running from it's cheek bones down to and slightly above the jawline, and arching back up to his opposite cheekbone. The eyes of the mask had a pair of two crescent-shaped spots flowing downwards. He was wearing gloves and black boots, his legs were kicked up and were resting on the desk. In one hand he was winding up a small clock, in his lap he had a family picture.
The masked man placed the clock down on the table. "What are you doing in my office!?" Jacques demanded. "I'll have a dozen men up here to take you down!" He threatened.
"...Dozen men? A dozen men?..." The masked man said, his voice holding a unique quality. It had an acoustic synthesizer, but it didn't mask an accent. "You mean the dozen men I killed to get up here?" He asked dryly, as he stood up and looked over the picture in his hand.
Jacques watched as the masked man place the picture down, before he saw a gloved finger trace over Weiss' and Winter's images. "Such darling little daughters, Mm-hm." He commented, as a long serpent-like tongue flickered out from the grinning mouth hole of the mask.
"Fanus!" Jacques snapped with vicious anger.
"With that white hair, that bushy mustache, those beady eyes...and that venom..." The masked man trailed off, as he inclined his head, a pair of glowing green serpent eyes gleaned from the black eye crescents of the mask. "…You remind me of someone I hate." Harry admitted.
"I don't give a fuck what you…!" Jacques started to yell in anger, only for Harry to flicker and appeared right in front of the man.
Jacques froze up, paralyzed by the insidious stare of Harry's eyes. A reverberating hiss filled the Schnee's ears, as he felt a long, thick snake coil around his body. Jacques' eyes nervously flickered to the side of his face, to see the horrifying visage of a black and green serpent, it's eyes glaring into his own. Slowly the snake opened it's mouth, a long pair of pointed fangs protruded from it's gums.
"Now...let's have some fun." Harry said.
"Wait I, AH!" Jacques screamed, feeling the black serpent inject a small dosage of deadly magical Neurotoxin straight into his neck.
Jacques collapsed, as Ouroboros released the man from her coils and slither up Harry's leg. The Schnee looked at the snake, as it coiled up the masked assailant's leg, around his waist and it's head loomed over his shoulder.
"Ah-hah..." Jacques panted out, as he pushed himself to his feet, a hand clutched around his neck. "...W-what did you do to me!?" He demanded.
"You see, I just injected you with a deadly dose of Neurotoxin, but not just any kind of toxin. You see, since Ouroboros here exists outside of this reality, this world doesn't even have the slightest chance of coming up with the anti-toxin." Harry admitted, as he placed his hand on the top of Ouroboros' head and idly drew a circle.
Black decrepit veins seem to protrude along Jacques' neck, spreading across his arms and hands, letting the man see the result of the poison. He gritted his teeth pain, feeling the nerves in his arm light up. Harry then drew a circle on Ouroboros' head in the opposite direction, causing the veins to recede and let Jacques breath in relief.
"You see, I can control how effective this toxin is. And right now, I placed it deep within your heart." Harry informed, as he held up a fist. "There is no cure, no anti-venom, anti-toxin, second-tries or do overs. This poison is under my control, and if I am even the slightest bit displeased...bum-bum, bum-bum..." He sounded, mimicking the sound and motion of a beating heart with his fist. "You're heart will spread the toxin straight to your brain and your spine, and you'll die the most painful of deaths? Understand?" He asked.
Jacques quickly nodded. "W-what do you want? Do you want money? Dust? Anything?" He quickly bargained.
"You think if you buy me, if you flaunt your wealth...you'll have power over me?" Harry asked, as he reached out with one hand and lightly put it on Jacques' shoulder, causing the man to tremble. "Like you seem to believe you can with Weiss and Winter? You think you can control what I can see and hear, like how you payed off the members of the CCT to divert all of Weiss' and Winter's messages, so they can't communicate with each other?" He asked curiously. "Or how when you make them dependent on your money, your home, your 'kindness', so you can instill fear by taking it away?" He asked curiously, his voice remaining the same tone.
Jacques looked up at him. "H-how did you..." He muttered.
"You're computers are rather primitive." Harry commented.
"I…I don't know what you're taking about!?" Jacques snapped, trying to defend himself. "I would never hurt my precious daughters!" He yelled, lying through his teeth.
Harry stared at him and he tilted his head. "No..." He trailed off curiously. "...Shall I show you how you hurt them?" He asked, and in an instant he slammed his elbow into the man's chest.
"A-Harh!" Jacques exhaled in surprise and pain, the breath being taken out of his lungs.
Harry put a hand on the man's shoulder and drove his fist under his sternum again, getting another hard gasp from the man.
Jacques body slammed a back into the wall, gasping and choking for air, his arms reaching for his chest, as he tried to inhale but nothing would fill his lungs.
"That right there is your Solar Plexus. Right now your diaphragm is partially paralyzed, which is why you can't breath." Harry said rather dispassionately. He inclined his head at the gasping man, as he brought hand up towards his masked face and did a mocking gesture for breathing, as he himself inhaled clearly. "Hmhm-hehe!" Harry cackled.
Jacques inhaled, gasped and coughed a few times as he pushed himself to his feet. "W-what are you, some kind of psychopath!?" He demanded.
Harry shook his head, as he took a step towards the gasping Jacques. "No, not right now. I'm just a concerned lover." He admitted, before he drove his fist into Jacques' side, into his liver.
"Ah-Ouh!" Jacques released in agony, as he doubled over and was pushed up against the wall by Harry, as he drove another fist into his side.
"That right there, is your liver." Harry said calmly, before he repeatedly punched him in the liver. Getting pain filled groans and gasps of agony. Only for Harry to put a hand on the back of Jacques' head. "The nice thing about the liver is if you hit it right, you hit the vagus nerve…which spreads out to the rest of your body." He informed, as he sent several more hard punches to the man's liver, getting pain filled yells and whimpers from the man.
"You're brain short circuts and your body shuts down..." Harry said, as he grabbed Jacques and forced the man to look at him with fear filled eyes. "…And if makes you feel, oh what's the word...terror." He said, his grinning mask bearing down on the cowering father, forming a steep contrast with Harry's glaring green serpent eyes.
Jacques stared up at him, his face pale, sweat pouring down his face and he looked at Harry in fear. "...That is what Weiss and Winter feel every moment under your house, under your rule. You hurt them in a way that wouldn't show, and now...I hurt you in the same way. It's poetic, don't you agree?" He asked curiously, as he grabbed Jacques by the throat and pressed him against the wall, before he lifted the man up.
The Schnee shook, trembled and whimpered in fear and pain. "Now, I want you to listen to me, very carefully. Because this is the thing you're going to do by the end of tonight. You're going to call the people you have paid off at the CCT, tell them to let Weiss and Winter communicate. And then...I want you to leave their lives forever. But before you do, I want you to call both of them and leave a message, tell them you've had it with their 'Rebellious attitudes, that if they want to live their life; they'll have to do it themselves. And they'll have to reap the consequences of selling their pale-asses to live off the streets like vermin '. Because I don't want them to even feel the slightest bit of sympathy to you, they might trust you again if that happened. And I am not letting you around my family. And then after that send them ten million Lien each, after that you will never speak to them again." He stated clearly.
"You aren't going to escort anyone, you aren't going to send a person to give them their money. It's just going to be in their account. When I see them tomorrow, you will not be in their life anymore." Harry stated and released the man, letting Jacques pant and gasp with him falling to the ground.
Harry reached out and touched the clock he placed on Jacques desk. "Tic-toc-tic-toc, when this rings and I'm not seeing Weiss smile tomorrow morning, I'll be back. And I won't be so nice the second time." He stated, as Jacques glared up at him.
Within an instant, Harry raised his boot and slammed his heel down on the back of Jacques' skull, slamming the man's face into the ground, creating a loud crack. "...And that...was your nose." Harry stated, as he turned around and walked way from the downed man, before he vanished in a flash.

Not to Long Later, Vale Warehouse District
A thundering storm showered Vale in a thick sheet of dark clouds and falling rain, allowing the storms to hide a large Eldritch Vessel descend from the sky.
The sound of rain slamming and hitting metal filled a large and rather empty warehouse. Roman was opening and closing his lighter, as he scowled at a flickering shadow. By his side was the rather diminutive form of his accomplice and daughter-figure, Neopolitan.
"When is this guy supposed to be here!?" Roman demanded, glaring at the shadow.
A faint bubbling sound came the shadows. "My Mast-ah will be here in mere moments. Patients is required, if you are to be a criminal. Use your patients!" A bubbling, high-pitched, whispering tone spoke, as the visage of a humanoid figure drew from Roman's shadow.
"I got enough shit to deal with, with Cinder breathing down my neck; and now I'm waiting for your so called Mast-aaaaa, and he's sticking me up. I knew this was a lost cause." Roman commented, as he turned around and went to leave.
"Well now, my friend. I'm hurt. And I thought, we'd get along well." A smooth accented voice interjected, causing Roman to quickly whirl around, with Neo. And out of the shadows, a pair of individuals seemed to appear, as Demongo seeped into one of the individuals shadows.
One was a well dressed man, wearing a white grinning mask. And at his side, was a rather petite blonde girl wearing copious amounts of pink and white, with an open parasol over her shoulder.
Neo blinked a few times, as she was eye-level with the blonde girl at the masked man's side, she and the blonde girl were both the same height. Nui looked at Neo and tilted her head.
"Oh Daddy, Daddy…who's that cutey pie?" Nui asked cutely, as she looked at Neo.
Neo crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at the blonde girl, only to see the masked man ignore her. "Roman Torchwick...and you, darling. Must be Neopolitan, his...daughter?" Harry said, glancing at Neo.
Neo blinked in surprise, her eyes going white for a moment and she looked at Roman. The orange haired man was giving Harry a serious look. "You're business is with me, leave her out of it." Roman said seriously.
Harry turned and looked at Roman. "I do suppose you're right; but an introduction is in order. Meet my own darling daughter, Nui. Nui, Neo." He aid, motioning between the two.
"Hiya, oh I must say your ice-cream theme is simply delicious looking!" Nui chirped out happily. Neo glanced up and made a 'You Got Me There' look and she shrugged, not really arguing.
Roman ignored Nui and Neo's interaction and focused on Harry. "You're shadow thing said you had a proposition for me, a way to get free of Cinder's control?" He asked.
"You mean the control of her faction, her little group of psychos." Harry clarified.
Roman narrowed his visible eye. "I ain't in the business in giving out free information. But, I gotta know...how is it, some unknown; knows something even I didn't know about until Cinder told me?" He asked.
"That's exactly it." Harry responded, as he took a step towards the Crime Boss.
Roman didn't move, but Neo moved in front of him with her parasol raised. Nui mirrored her movement and stood in front of Harry, her eye closed and she leaned on the front of her closed parasol. "Make a move cutey pie, I'm not going to go easy on you though!" Nui warned.
"Nui." Harry said sternly, causing Nui's eye to dilate.
"Oui Papa!" She spoke quickly, as she stepped to the side.
Harry glanced at Neo, to see the petite girl was glancing back at Roman. "Stand down." Roman said with a similar amount of sternness in his voice. Neo complied and stepped to his side, her eyes on Nui.
"I'm not here to fight you, Roman. In fact, in this entire world, you're the last person I'd want to hurt." Harry admitted.
Roman frowned. "Why would you want to help me? The more someone wants to help me, the less inclined I'm gonna believe it's not for their benefit." He admitted.
Harry exhaled, sighing. "...I must admit, I do have an ulterior motive. It is to get stronger, but not through hurting you, or Neo. I want to help, because..." He trailed off, as he reached up to his mask and took it off.
Roman looked a bit surprised at the sudden removal of the mask, only for Harry to tilt his head to the side and case his black hair to fall in front of one of his eyes. Both of their eyes connected, both of their matching colored eyes.
Neo looked a bit surprised, as she looked between the two. Despite the fact that they were different colored suits, and while Harry's facial structure was more sharp. If Harry had orange hair, he'd look like Roman, or at least pass as his brother.
"Who...are you?" Roman questioned.
"I have a few names, but you can call me; Harry Black. And...I'm an alternate version of you, and you're an alternate version of me." Harry informed.
"Bullshit!" Roman argued.
Harry sighed and shook his head. "Yeah, that's an expected response. Tell me, when Cinder showed you what your boss created, what she could do, and when she told you that if you didn't listen to her. She'd have you and Neo killed, what did you do?" He asked, causing Roman to go pale.
"H-how..." Roman started, a stunned look running across his face.
"You surrendered and submitted yourself, because you were scared. You were scared about what was going to happen to you and the girl you see as your daughter." Harry said seriously, causing Neo to look at Roman and then look away.
Roman stared at him, as Harry took another step towards him. "And as you work for Cinder, as she asks you to steal dust, to work with the White Fang, to follow her every single order and whim. Without giving you any information; you keep having this single thought running through your mind. 'You're Expendable', you have to keep making yourself useful, because if you don't...Cinder won't need you anymore. And if she doesn't need you, well...she'll find someone else who she does need." He continued.
"And in the end, all you see are dozens of different roads...all leading to the same destination, your death. And Neo at Cinder's mercy, that's what I know." Harry stated seriously, as he continued to take step after step towards the stunned criminal.
Roman took a startled step back. "H-how, how do you know all this?" He asked.
Harry gave him a wicked grin. "Because I'm you. There are countless realities, there are different versions of us out there. And because of an event, I was able to see through the lives of a few of us." He informed. "I've seen our lives...and our deaths." He admitted.
"Deaths…did...was it..." Roman muttered.
Harry glanced away, but that answered Roman's question. "Roman, I want to help you." He admitted, as he looked back.
"How so?" Roman responded, a lot more responsive to the help after hearing what Harry said. "Unless you got yourself an army, I doubt Cinder and her faction will care about you." He admitted.
"Te-he-he, oh Daddy has an army. Oh boy, I can't wait until we unleash it!" Nui chimed in happily, getting a glare from Harry.
"If you have an army, fucking lets kill some assholes right now!" Roman insisted, with Neo nodding her cute head in agreement.
Harry shook his head. "No...that would cause too much chaos in a single moment. It would draw unneeded attention." He stated, as he glanced up for a moment.
"If you're not going to loan help, I don't see what's the point of this meeting." Roman said with a scowl.
"...The help I offer...I want to protect Neo, for you." Harry admitted, causing Neo to blink in surprise and Roman to incline his head.
"...You're not taking..." Roman started.
"You misunderstand, I'm not taking her to some safe-house while I let you die. I've developed the ability absorb energy, I can defuse it or take it into myself and add it to my own soul. What I'm suggesting, with how I can help you and Neo, is...you and I, we become one." Harry informed.
Roman looked at him in surprise. "What like...fuse?" He asked unsure.
Harry exhaled and closed his eyes for a moment. "No, more like you become a part of me. You become the bones, while I stay the flesh; you become the soul while I am the mind." He clarified.
"...That sounds a lot like you just absorbing me." Roman said with a frown.
Harry nodded his head. "You could say it is, from a point of view." He admitted.
"Fuck that, I ain't dying just yet. Tell me how I die, and I can avoid it." He informed.
Harry closed his eyes and sighed. "It's not that simple...what if I told you, everything you know about free will, is a lie. What if I told you, that everything in this reality was unfolding like a scripted plan; written by beings incomprehensible to man kind?" He asked.
"I'd say that's fucking dumb." Roman argued.
Harry gave him a look. "…But it isn't. Right now, every reality out there, is apart of a grand machine. And I plan on throwing a wrench in it." He admitted.
"You're saying that I'm supposed to die, because of some grand design?" Roman asked with a scowl.
"Yes, unless I do something drastic to change the outcome. You're going to die in the end Roman. But, I'm offering you a choice. Something the being who controls this reality isn't. Are you willing to die a pitiful death, with Neo hurled off the side of an airship, a thousand feet in the air. Living and dying under Cinder's rule?" Harry asked, before he extended a hand out towards Roman.
"Or live a glorious life being part of me; Neo being the safest she's ever been. Hunting things, killing things for the sake of it under my word, like she did yours?" He added.
"You'll still be alive with me, your mind, your memories, your abilities, your personalty; it will become one with me. You're strengths, will become our strengths. With our might combined, I can turn Cinder around, make her into our subservient underling; we'll destroy her whole faction for shits and giggles. Neo will never be in peril again. She'll be my daughter, like she was with you. She'll have a sister, a family." Harry admitted, causing Nui and Neo to look at each other.
"You promised her a life of luxury, you promised her riches, power, wealth with no equal. I can give her all of that, you can give her all of that. Trust me, help me...help you." Harry said charismatically.
Roman looked from Harry, to Neo and than back to the Sorcerer. "...Do you promise to take care of her? Promise she'll be safe with you?" He asked.
"I would never have her do something I, myself wasn't prepared to do. I promise to treat her like she was my own flesh and blood." Harry promised, with a faint buzz of magic crackling around him.
Roman took a breath. "Fine..." He muttered, before he looked at a worried looking Neo. "…I'm sorry I couldn't give you the life I promised." He admitted, causing Neo to smile at him and tilt her head, understanding him. "Always smiling, always smiling. Him and I, are going to become one, do you understand?" He asked.
Neo nodded, her hair bouncing as she did. "That means, treat him, how you've always treated me. You have a sister now; listen to her. I'm not going anywhere Neo, I'm just...going to look a little different." He said, as he looked at Harry.
"Trust me, I'm not a good guy. We'll be kinda the same after this." Harry said dryly.
"You don't say..." Roman commented, as he extended a hand and gripped Harry's. "...Well then, let's fuck Cinder's plan up, beat the crap out of her allies and take zero names, because fuck names." He said seriously.
Harry smirked, as he gripped Roman's hand. "…See ya on the other side." He commented, before crimson lances of crackling energy arced around Harry's arm and enveloped Roman.
Nui and Neo watched, as Roman dissolved into ash, which floated around and clung to Harry, before it seeped into his skin. His suit seemed to gain grey lining, with the interior being grey like Roman's suit. The crimson energy died down and Harry stood by himself.
He raised his hand and looked at them, he opened and closed his fingers. "I actually have an Aura now, feels like I have a little buzzing field around my skin." Harry commented, as he looked his hands. He held his arm out and green energy formed, before it solidified. It took the form of a black, flat topped bowler hat. He placed it on top of his head, pushing his hair down. He then crouched down and picked up Roman's unique cane.
"Well now my lovely daughters, Neo..." Harry said, as he looked at Neo with a kind and genuine smile. He knelt down in front of her. He reached up and picked the hat off his head and put in on her own.
Neo's eyes went wide feeling the hat on her head. "…Welcome to the family, darling. I hope you and I, become closer than before." He admitted, as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.
He pulled back, revealing a blushing illusionist. "Daddy!" Nui whined, only to shut up when Harry kissed her too. "Come on now, Nui, Neo. Daddy's got some chaos spread, so lets have some fun while we do it!" He said happily, as he began to twirl Melodic Cudgel in between his fingers.
Neo and Nui shared a glance, before they both followed him to the entrance of the warehouse, the sound of rain hitting the metal filled the large area. Harry opened the door, revealing dark skies of the night masked with darker rain clouds.
Neo adjusted the hat Harry put on her head, as she looked at the loud rain. Both she and Nui opened and raised their parasols over their heads, while Harry hummed to himself.
"I feel so happy, so free! Dodo-dodo, I'm singing in the rain..." Harry said, as he walked out of the warehouse with Neo and Nui following him. He turned around and walked backwards as he smiled at the two, same sized, incredibly similar girls.
"I'm just singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again! I'm laughing at the clouds, so dark up above. The sun's in my heart..." Harry said, as he stepped forward and turned around, wrapping his arms around both Neo's and Nui's shoulders and pulled them close. "...And I'm ready for love!" He sung.
"You two, I just can't wait for you two to get along, and the three of us to be a family!" Harry said with a wicked smile that sent shivers down Neo's and Nui's spines, the sadist and the psychopath loving their new Father, well; it'd be hard for them to ever tell the difference. Both Harry and Roman were similar in a lot of ways, it was just Harry was a lot more...intense.
"You don't have to wait long, Daddy! Neo and I are best of friends, we'll happy cut-cut-cut up your enemies!" Nui said enthusiastically. Neo smiled and happily nodded her cute head in agreement.
Harry increased the pressure of his one-armed hugs. "…A Father could not ask for two sweeter princesses." He admitted.
Neo smiled happily. "Thank you, Daddy!" Nui chirped out, not wanting to ruin the moment. Harry's hands moved down from their shoulders, one hand sliding down Nui's front and getting a grip of her chest, and one hand sliding down Neo's back and getting a good grip of her rear.
"Hehe, you're such a pervert Daddy! Neo, cute-pie; I gotta tell you about Daddy's femdom kink!" Nui happily said, causing Neo to tilt her head, before she gave Harry a wide smirk.
"...And now you ruined the moment." Harry said, as he face palmed; taking a step back from the girls.
"It's not my fault Daddy, that you love it when I sit on your face and give you a footjob. Now, I have some help!" Nui said excitedly, as she looked at Neo and gave her a once over. "...Are you flexible and how good are you with your feet?" She asked curiously.
Neo made an unsure face and shrugged, never really trying the latter much. Nui pouted in thought. "I guess I'll have to be good sister and teach you how to give proper foot and bootjobs, he likes it when it's bare, stocking clad, with knee and thigh-high socks, and with boots. When I give you all the little techniques, we can get Daddy off proper!" Nui declared.
Neo clenched her fist in determination and nodded her head curtly. She punched her fist into the sky, with Nui mirroring her action. "Perfect daughter duo, double femdom, feet play, wincest team, unite!" Nui cheered, as she raised her fist too and connected with with Neo's. Both of the petite girls were giving Harry wide cute smiles, Neo's eyes being a pink and a brown, while Nui's single blue eye shined.
Harry looked at the two with a bit of fear...'Oh God, I really didn't think this through...there's two of them now.' He though, though the idea of both of them, dominating...'now is not the time.' He thought, not wanting to get aroused. If he got aroused near Nui, it was like a sixth sense with her; she'd know. "...Let's just...get out of the rain. Moments ruined." He muttered, with Nui and Neo skipping behind him happily, almost like they've been friends for ever.

The Next Day, Beacon
In the hallways of Beacon, Harry was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed. Right at his side, Nui was happily leaning against him. Standing in front of him were both Madara and Grimmjow.
"…And then I said, Los Noches; more like Los Nachos!" Grimmjow finished.
"Tee-he-hehe!" Nui giggled out obnoxiously.
Harry and Madara gave Grimmjow strange looks. "What? It was fucking funny! My whole Fracción thought it was hilarious!" Grimmjow snapped angrily.
"...I think they laughed out of embarrassment." Madara said bluntly.
"I'm not laughing because jokes are supposed to be funny." Harry added, getting a glare from the Arrancar.
"Well, you're damned girlfriend-daughter squeeze thought it was hilarious!" Grimmjow argued.
Harry gave Grimmjow an unamused and unconvinced look. "...Penis…" He said dryly.
"Tee-he-hehe-haha!" Nui giggled out, sticking her tongue at she did. "Haha, you said penis!" She laughed.
"She laughs at anything." Harry said dully, causing Grimmjow to curse to himself.
"...Oh, Dramaalert!" Nui commented, as her eye trailed down the hallway.
Harry, Madara and Grimmjow turned, and they watched as Team RWBY, minus the 'B' portion walk up to them. Weiss had wide eyes, as she was clutching her scroll in a tight grip.
The Sorcerer raised an eyebrow when he noticed Yang and Ruby whispering to each other. Yang and Ruby seemed to hold smiles on their faces, as the looked from Weiss to Harry.
"H-Harry...C-can I talk to you?" Weiss asked, nervously looking at the intimidating stature of Madara and the sneering scowl of Grimmjow.
Harry glanced at his team, before he nodded to the side.
Madara nodded curtly, before he turned and walked down the hall with Nui following. "Hey, we ain't…" Grimmjow started.
"…Go...Now." Harry said sternly, causing Grimmjow to roll his eyes and walk in the direction the two headed in.
"Fine, whatever." Grimmjow sneered out, as he gained distance between the two.
Harry's scowl vanished and he gave Weiss, Ruby and Yang a smile. "What's up?" He asked kindly.
Weiss took a few steps forward, her hands clutching her scroll. "My Father, sent me a message last night. He told me to...he told me that he packed things, that I was allowed in the estate to pick them up. And...to get out of his life forever…" She started.
"...I'm sorry to hear that." Harry said, giving her a concerned look.
"...That's not all. He, he unfroze my assets. He sent over ten million Lien into my savings...I…I can..." Weiss muttered, her eyes watering a bit. "...I can live my life. And the…I got messages, private messages!" She said in shock, as she opened up her scroll. "Some dating almost a year back, dozens from Winter! I...I talked to her this morning for almost an hour…I...I don't..." Weiss rambled.
"Seems like your daddy had a change of heart last night." Harry said, as he closed his eyes and smiled. Both Yang and Ruby noticed his rather prideful tone.
Weiss glanced down. "...The thing is, he would never change his mind. He would never have done this...Someone must have made him." She stated.
"I'm sure the person who changed his mind, only wanted the best for his daughters." Harry said with a smile.
Weiss' eyes slowly rose up and connected with Harry's face. "...Yeah...the best for them…" She muttered, having a gut feeling that Harry must've been behind it.
Slowly Weiss put her scroll away, before she took a step towards the Sorcerer. Within a moment, Weiss enveloped Harry in a hug, burring her face against his chest.
"T...-Thank you so much…how can...how can I ever pay you back?" Weiss whispered.
Harry took a step back from Weiss, before he put his hand underneath her chin and made her look up at him. "I'm sure you know exactly how you can make it up to me, Snow Angel...We are family after all." He said with a smirk, as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against Weiss' for a moment, before he pulled back and turned around. "Later Fire-Cracker, Snow Angel, Rose; classes are starting soon. And I'd hate to be late!" Harry said with an excited grin, as he walked in the direction his team headed in.
The Sorcerer inserted his hands into his pockets and walked along the hallway, swaying his body to a beat. "No one knows the secrets that I keep. No on knows what's in my head. I. Can't, control. The other side of me, I have lost my breath!" Harry sung to himself, as he cast a sideways glance out the window.
In the faintest distances, he saw a faint black dot looming in the sky; even thousands of miles away he could see the visage of his rule.
"Breaking the pulse of a steady beast. Pleading for sanity! The voices calling out my name. Now...I'm afraid..." Harry continued, as he began to whistle.
Weiss stared at the retreating form of Harry, her heart beating miles a minute. "You really think Harry did something to your dad?" Ruby asked unsure.
The former Heiress smiled to herself. "...I know he did something. And...I'll never be able to repay him for it." She muttered.
"...I thought you wanted to rule the company, if your dad disowned you. How can you?" Yang asked worried.
Weiss glanced down. "One step at a time. I have to get my life in order, before I should even consider starting that." She admitted, only to feel a hand on her shoulder.
"And we'll be by your side." Yang informed, giving the girl a smile.
"We're the best team around!" Ruby agreed with a beaming smile on her face.
"Yeah..." Weiss trailed off, her eyes focused on Harry as he was at the other end of the hallway with his team. "…Yeah." She muttered.
In the shadows of the hallway, standing in front of one of the indented doorways, was a teenager girl wearing lots of chocolate brown themed clothing. Coco looked from Weiss to Harry, her arms crossed and she looked at him impressed.
'Seems like you're getting more and more interesting. You act like a shady, mysterious force. But you helped Velvet, she's happier than ever and her anxiety has subsided. And now you're thawing out Ice Princess. And you helped me out of bind…' Coco mused, her eyes scanning Harry's form.
'I was going to offer a few killer Bjs for how you saved my skin and gave me a boat load of Lien. But then you helped Velvet, I wonder what else I could do to pay you back…I guess I'll have to get a close seat to you in Glynda's class today.' She mused, wanting to learn more about her 'target'.
Harry had a smile on his face, as he met up with his team again. Yesterday was such a productive and lovely day...and he believed today was going to no different.
Oh boy! Nui and Neo together at last, rejoice! My two top favorite girls.
Yeah, there's not really any more I could add to this chapter. I had Harry absorb Roman, mostly for two reasons. One, I think it'd be pretty awkward when Harry starts fucking Neo, and Roman's still there...I don't know. I just feels weird. And two, I had no idea what the hell to do with him. I mean, Roman isn't really a powerhouse, he doesn't have cool abilities, and he has a similar personality to Harry. I'm not really sure how much he'd add if he was in the story...so, that kinda explains that.
...Oh there, there was that one part where Harry beat the shit out of Weiss' Dad, i kinda liked writing that. The dude seems like a straight up cunt.
