A/N: Here's your freshly made crack chapter from my mind. This takes place...after the ending of Volume 2 some time.

I do NOT own RWBY or its characters, Monty Oum and RoosterTeeth Productions does.

'I. Will. Strangle him.'

"Yeah! I know right!"

"I am glad...I decided to accompany you Jaune."

'This greatly displeases me.'

Why was Lie Ren displeased you ask? Well maybe because earlier in the week, a certain rabbit faunus of Team CFVY decided to ask Jaune out for an 'outing' on the weekend. His blond leader, being happy as can be accepted and would not stop stressing about it all week.

Much to the lotus warrior's displeasure. A lot of displeasure.

'This ship, it must be burned to the ground. I don't know what to call...this yet but it must not sail.'

His leader was out and about in Vale with Velvet Scarlatina. An upperclassmen. She was only about a year and a half older than the starting teams. But it meant she was a huntress-in-training longer than they have been. And that came with experience.

'This is interfering with my ship. I must stop it.'

"Ren!"

Turning to my faithful companion that decided to tag along to Vale with me. She as well had the same, dissatisfied frown on her face. Don't get us wrong! We have nothing against Faunus. It's just the fact that she's a girl and she's maybe interested in Jaune, was the problem. Nora appeared as the energetic person of the group, but she could be serious if she damn well wanted to be.

"What're we gonna do about this?" She asked in a hushed manner. The duo had cleverly hidden themselves amongst the foliage of the sidewalk to hide, well at least one of them did. Nora tried to imitate the many limbs of the tree she was trying to hide behind.

'I am putting very much emphasis on try.' Back to his team leader across the street-

He and Velvet strolled along the sidewalk, noticing Jaune's wild animated gestures when he talked, the girl only seemed to laugh at his jokes. The stoic warrior could only roll his eyes at his antics.

'5 lien says this is his first date in...ever.' Peeking out from the bushes to their next destination.

'If we can call it that.' Their destination led them to a gift shop of sorts. One of which made Velvet look up to Jaune expectantly. He seemed just a bit off no when his hand went to the back of his head nervously. A few words were said that Ren could not overhear before the rabbit funny went to tug on Jaune's arm to go inside.

'Not liking this one bit.'

"Ren? Can I break her legs?" Ah Nora, ever the supporter of a ship.

"No breaking upper classmen's legs."

"Awww." And sometimes I hated breaking her heart like that, but it was for the best lest we have the rest of Velvet's team hunting them down. Ren heard something snap above him. Poking his head out from the bush he was in, several leaves got caught in his hair when he looked up. Just in time for a familiar pink body to come crashing down on him.

"Ow."

"Sorry Ren!" Poking his head out once again, their targets had disappeared into the store. His eyes narrowed, just what possibly could be going on? As far as he knew, Velvet and Jaune had no prior interaction, 1st semester and shortly after the 'Grimm invasion' of Vale.

'If you could even call it an invasion. Team CFVY shows up and makes us first years look like total noobs.'

After Nora's initial fall on top of her BFF, she righted herself to have her head poking out fro the bushes as well. "What are we gonna do about this Ren?! We can't just...sit by and let this happen! Our OTP is gonna be ruined!" Nora sounded very adamant about this. And just like her partner, Ren knew it interfered with his plans of the Knight and the Spartan hooking up.

They both would not stand for this.

A plan began to formulate in his head as the gears turned.

"I know what we must do." Concluding to himself. He mangled his way out of the bushes to make back for the airship drop off. They would have to be quick about this. Though it was early in the day, who's to say how long Jaune and velvet would be in town for. Nora in his wake following along her partner.

"We can't just go up to her and let it be known there is another. This has to be handled delicately, and I know just the people to talk to."

A few solid raps on the door back at Beacon Academy had Ren just a tad nervous. He should have handled this mission alone rather than with Nora. Looking back to her, maybe going to their upper classmen was a bad idea?

But before he could make his decision on whether to abandon ship, the door opened to reveal a young man. Looking about a year older than then and significantly taller than he himself.

'I should feel something about almost every male (and Pyrrha) being taller than me but that is my heritage.'

The dark skinned male before him most notably, had his arm covered in various scars, and white eyes? Ren didn't like assuming what people were when first meeting them, it would seem rude and then you would feel like such a inconsiderate person for stating the obvious or assuming wrong and then you feel like an ass.

But Ren most definitely did not want to come right out and say-

"Ren! It's a demon! Entirely white eyes that'll steal your soul! Don't look!" Within the next few seconds Nora had latched herself onto his side and covered his eyes, making him lose his balance and fall over.

...O..k? Maybe not exactly what she was thinking but Ren knew from Nora-speak that she noted he was blind. Or was, is...dunno.

If Ren could facepalm at this exact second he would and he hoped their fellow huntsman would think nothing of it. From what he could gather after hastily getting up to offer an apology, the older man made a small smirk with the corner of his mouth that was lined with a scar.

"If you want to call it that." Ren was more surprised by the deep, raspy voice that came out. Or more of drowsy. Now leaning up against the doorframe to the first years.

"If you're here to sympathize, I'm not looking for it." Yawning now to himself. "Now what do you want?" His white pupils seemed to scan in every direction, trying to find the source of where they were standing. But Ren wouldn't keep this mans' valuable time anymore if they obviously knew he was blind.

"Fox, is it?" He final decided to speak. "We have urgent news regarding your teammate Velvet." If Ren could flee from how focused Fox's white sclera's zeroed in on him he would, so he decided to elaborate. "What I mean is 'developing' information that you and the rest of your teammates need to know."

The partially blind man could stare in the direction the voice came from with a blank stare. Slowly before his left brow rose at what was just said. Even then he yawned openly into his hand, dearly missing his sleep.

'Is he...going to say anything?' Ren could keep a stone cold face for a long while but he would meet his match when his own opponent couldn't even see him.

'That's just an unfair advantage.'

"Fooooox! Who is it?" A female voice came out from behind him. A bit older in tone and clearly being roused from sleep. Fox turned his head to the inside of the room.

"Nothing, just trying to tell some Jehovah's witness' we don't want any."

Well that was unexpected. He turned back to Ren and Nora with a sly grin on his face. Clearly the he knew the stoic ale now look baffled.

'Oh he's one of these guys.'

"So, are you gonna tell me what you're selling or not?"

'I think I like him, he can stay.' Since the attitudes were now out in the open, Ren didn't have to hold back anymore.

"Bunny girl, danger imminent, massive shipping problems, whole of Remnant explodes, this woman-" Now gesturing back to his partner in crime Nora giving a salute to him. "Hi!" enthusiastically shouting, "-breaking everyone's legs in sight from our soap opera ending. You get my drift?" Hoping this man spoke Ren's language. While the few seconds of silence seemed to tick by while processing this situation.

"Please..." Stepping aside for the 2 to enter. "Come inside, we have matters to discuss."

"If you got a chart, I can't see that because you know...blind and all."

"But you navigate so well."

"I can see flames of aura, not outlines of people, that's about it and I got nothing. It does get me out of taking out the trash."

"Doesn't mean we can't still make you."

"You tried that one time, I ended up at a kids daycare."

"That was still fun."

"Not when the kids are pissing themselves because of some 'demon' in the daycare.'

"But you love kids."

"I'm not allowed back there."

'What the hell am I even listening to?'

This was the situation he found himself in once he stepped foot into CFVY's room was Coco and Fox bantering back and forth. It had a similar set up to JNPR's room, 2 sets of beds on either side of the room, decorated in what he assumed, one was girls side other was the guys side. Magenta eyes scanned over to the much larger bed than everyone elses' and could only guess who it belonged to.

'Well I know where Yatsuhashi sleeps.'

Speaking of him, it seemed that Ren and Nora had stumbled upon them just waking up with Coco, their fashionable leader leaning away from the giant sword wielder on his bed.

'Were they all just sleeping together?'

"If you're wondering if we all sleep together on the same bed, yeah that's true, mostly." The scarred man replied going back over to his awakening teammates. "You first years will understand later on the whole 'team building' exercises at a later point."

"Plus Yatsu makes the perfect pillow~." Their fashion designer leader answered from behind him. Slipping on her signature black shades for comfort when her partner plopped down beside her. "Now, formalities aside freshmen."

'He did not just-'

"You had something important to tell us about Velvet?" Cutting off Ren's train of thought midway.

'Oh whatever, they are older than us. Time to break the news to them.'

Ren knew he did not need to sugarcoat his words (as much) when dealing with upper classmen, so here it goes. "Velvet may be involved with our team leader, Jaune Arc, and that's causing complications...of our own." Looking back to his bright haired partner for support, his trajectory led to her very focused eyes trained way ahead of him. She was eyeing Yatsuhashi with an intensity a Grimm sizing up prey would look.

'This could be trouble later, just let me hope she doesn't act on her urge now.' Saying a silent prayer. He coughed gently into his fist before resuming back to them. "Right now, Velvet and my team leader are out in Vale 'shopping' if you will,"

"Uh huh."

"Out together-together."

"Uh huh."

"As in maybe dating."

"Uh huh."

"And that interferes with the one true ship that we like to call: Arkos."

"You've lost me now." Fox replied back blandly. Turning his head to look at Coco from her next to him. She shrugged her shoulders as well, knowing full well he couldn't see that but in his own way knew she was as stumped as she was.

"Let me elaborate: Arkos as in, the fusion of Our leaders last name, and his true loves' interest last name, a miss Pyrrha Nikos." Hoping that name would ring a few bells.

"Oh yeah, the first year girl who's a Mistralian champion, hot bod, excellent grades, and word around the rumor mill is she's on the prowl for someone." Coco chimed in now that realization had dawned on her.

"That person happens to be our leader!" Nora finally added to the conversation. "But Jaune doesn't know that!" Quietly snickering to herself.

"Actually, now that I think about it," Coco summed up with her chin in hand. " Velv has been going out earlier than us for the past few days."

Well this changed things, Ren only knew about this one time the were out at this very moment.

"Then this is worst than I thought."

"Hm?" Both Coco and Fox looked up, well Fox more or less the direction of the voice, to Ren. Folding his arms across his chest and closing his eyes on thought. "We have to deter this somehow."

"Why deter it?"

Uh oh. Ren was not expecting this answer. He would at least have thought her teammates or one of them was involved with her already, but they seemed...almost willingly going along with all of this. "What, do you mean 'why'?"

"If Velv finds that Jaune guy nice enough, then why can't she date him?" The beret girl throwing his question back at him. "Who are we to stop her." Fox clued in.

"..."

"You tell him Yatsu."

'But he didn't say anything. He hasn't said anything this entire time!'

Ren thought he held the M.V.P for 'Most stoic face' but Yatsuhashi was clearly beating him out on this. 'I need to go back to not talking so much, everyone respected me that way.' But either way, Team CFVY...was backing this union? Preposterous, nothing would sink Arkos within an inch of its life! 'Well if you count the time Jaune and I were having guy time and Pyrrha willing gave advice to him to go get Weiss.'

'That still hurts my soul a bit but now they've made up since the dance.'

'Still, just saying, if I were Pyrrha, I would have taken Jaune by his scraggly blond head, drug him back to the room and made for damn sure he had no one else on his mind...No homo. Maybe a little. I don't know anymore, I like everyone but my Soap Opera must continue to live!'

To much indulging in his own mind had Team CF(V)Y looking to Ren in an almost worried manner. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts. "But Pyrrha and-"

"Listen, until I see it with my own eyes, you've got no support on your 'Arkos' drama going on. But now that you mention it." Making to look at the time on her scroll, with a nod of her head, Yatsuhashi stood up and made way for the door, Fox as well. "Maybe we should go take a peek at the love birds in action." Giving Ren a small wink behind her shades. Just in passing him, he felt a small yet firm slap on his rear and tried not to 'eep' in response.

'Everyone just violates my personal space and I clearly have no say in it.'

While they exited, The lotus warrior could feel a strong, and deadly aura emanated from next to him.

"Now Nora, she didn't mean it." Trying to calm his counterpart down. "Instead of thinking of ways to break our senpai's legs 46 times, let's catch up and see what 'Scarlet Knight' is up to.

'Good lord, I already thought of a ship name for them. Must amend this immediately.'

'I keep forgetting...I...have very low stamina.'

The ride with Team CFVY back to Vale wasn't the problem, the problem being as soon as they landed, they sped off to anyone of the nearest gift shops in Vale in search of the couple. And chasing them down to every single one of them was a very taxing chore. At one point, Nora had to piggyback Ren he was so exhausted. The day was getting nearer to an end before they all would eventually have to go back to their dorms, but the late afternoon red sky was too promising to miss.

After 3 unsuccessful run-by's of Team CFVY's whereabouts, the duo finally found them. Off to the side partially hidden by the corner of a building while Jaune and Velvet sat outside. "Oh, you guys are just in time! It's just getting good~" Coco spied happily. Fox with no direction to look to turned for a better solution and turned his ears to their conversation.

"Speaking of which..." Eyeing said blond up and down. "Get past the slightly tacky look he has for himself at this angle, and Velv has something goin' for her." Patting Fox on the shoulder who was right below her.

"Are you sure he's not a chic?" The blind man pointed out blankly. From what he could hear, said blond sounded rather raspy in voice and just a bit squeaky. Or a very girly man.

"..." This was Yatsuhashi's silent input while staring at the subjects from afar.

"Yeah, I'll go with your word Yastu."

'Must have some kind of silent understanding of what he's saying, because once again, I did not hear a thing.'

Nora having finally set him down to regain his bearings. It was now Nora laid her eyes on her target from before. Eyes locked on to the 7 foot tall giant. Ren beside her just blanched and looked wasn't gonna try to fight this anymore with her. Watching her stalk up to the giant, Yatsuhashi took his eyes off of his target to look down at the much smaller girl. Nora only came up to waist just barely though. For a tense moment, aqua met cobalt black between the giants and the hammer wielder. A wild grin spreading across her face.

"Ren, look at this big ass tree!"

'And it begins.'

"Nora, please don't-"

"I'm gonna climb him!"

"I'm so sorry about this." Ren gave his apologies with a light bow, now that Nora had made it to the top of him and sat on his shoulders.

"I'm Queen of the castle! Kyah ha ha ha ha!"

'And...I've lost her.'

The other stoic, seemed to pay no mind gave a light shrug, turning back to survey his previous subjects.

'I'm surprised he's letting her do this.' Meanwhile Yatsuhashi just shrugged and turned back to his intended target. For now, team CFVY had done nothing to interfere, more so watch as the events played out before them. He rolled his eyes at their senpai's antics. He half expected them to intervene like the good pack and steer their shy bunny girl away from his blond leader.

But here they were watching the 2 like it was their Soap Opera.

'Where do they get off, stealing my ideas? Their entertainment must stem around Velvet more than anyone else. ' It was then the realization hit him and his eyes widened considerably while the couple giggled at something Jaune said.

'Oh my Oum, they're just like-'

"Ren?"

"Pyrrha?"

Everyone trying to hide behind the bend of the building turned their heads at the same time to the Spartan clad in bronze.

'Oh wait Pyrrha. What is she doing here, this is not good abort mission now. We are ALL about to get messed up.'

This was the person he least of all wanted to run into while her obvious interest was out and about with another woman. Time to find a reasonable excuse. Calmly breathing to cater to his teammate. She was already trying to spy what was going on just around the corner. Emerald eyes scanning just up ahead.

"Pyrrha, now I know what this may seem like but this is surely not what it looks like." Ren tried blocking her view as best he could. But he found that a bit difficult when she was taller than him. He spied a look back to the blond and the bunny sitting with their backs to them, carelessly laughing with each other when Velvet's hand landed atop Jaunes'. And Jaune didn't seem to notice at all. "Now now Pyrrha, this isn't what it looks like-"

Pyrrha was known as a very calm, and understanding person. But touch what does not belong to you and mayhem will rise. Scanning out the targets ahead, she noticed a very familiar blond head of hair. Her heart lifted instantly, but upon seeing Velvet, the recently acquainted faunus girl they all felt sympathy for in first semester, and then kicked ass in her own team of 2nd years, lay a hand in contact with said blond, blood began to rise.

Ignoring Ren's ramblings of trying to dissuade her, she took hold of his wrist and twisted inwards, incapacitating him and cutting off his speech mid-way.

"Ow, why would you do that?!" He dropped instantly to the ground, holding his hand. She walked past them and up to team CFVY who saw the display happen. A blank face was met to all of the, like a tumble weed passing in the background. No really a tumbleweed passed through the background in silence.

"So, I take it you're Pyrrha?" Fox guessed off the top of his head. Though he could see only aura, hers shined brightly, and sort of menacingly. But why not poke more fun at this situation?

"Meet your competition." Jerking his thumb back to the unsuspecting pair. He felt his leader tap him on his bum playfully hard at instigating even more of a problem. He shrugged her off, he was used to Coco slapping everyone's ass at this point. Pyrrha veered her eyes back to the scene at hand. Jaune wildly talking to Velvet while she patiently listened to him.

"Competition, eh?" Now Pyrrha Nikos was a champion at best. A winner, and when issued a challenge. she would do her best to win and defeat all opponents. Using the word 'competition' probably wasn't the best thing to say for someone who competes in competitions for a living.

'You fools! You've doomed us all!' Rens' inner mind spoke out. Recovering from his injury with renewed vigor. Scrambling forth to block Pyrrha's way with outstretched arms. Sure, he wanted Operation: Arkos to happen, just not with the death of someone else to accomplish it. Even Nora sensed her partner's distress and hopped to his defense.

"Now now, hold on, you're not interfering with Velvet's date so long as we're here. Coco stood defensively and the two boys stood next to her threateningly. Lowering her shades to survey her reaction. A glint sparked in the Mistralian's eyes, one all of team CFY, R and N or team JNPR sweat dropped at.

"Pyrrha no!" Ren shouted, holding her back in a Full-Nelson, Nora tried to restrain her by her leg. But Pyrrha, ever vigilant, still managed to move forward. "How is she still moving!?" Nora tried to hold her ground. "I don't know but keep on it!"

Mustering all the energy he could to make a desperate attempt. "Team CFVY help or else your demise will be next!" They in all, were still confused as to what was going on. So why not make it clearer for them.

"Even if we're not on the same side right now, Pyrrha is on no one's at this moment!"

"..."

"Velvet's in danger!" Fox grit his teeth, Coco's shades loosened and Yatsuhashi...looked blank. Ren internally face palmed.

'Does this guy literally show no emotion at any given situation?'

"Velvet will not be compromised!" Fox yelled a war cry while rushing forward assisting Ren. He gave a silent thank you back to him. "This isn't for your benefit, but for mine." Ren sweat dropped. Coco's approach was slow and deliberate, reaching into her back pocket to bring out a silver glint shining in the afternoon light. "Maybe these will restrain her just right." Clinking the chained metal together.

"She has handcuffs on her at all times?"

"One rule of Coco is: Do not question why Coco carries handcuffs at all times." Fox reprimanded for good measure. The red head they were trying to restrain still managed to move forward. 2 grown men and a woman strapped to her leg.

'Oum Pyrrha? What do you even lift bro?'

As Coco made it closer, the cuffs in her hands began to rattle. She looked down and almost instantly, the cuffs unhooked themselves and towards both hands of Fox and Ren respectively. Not even giving them a chance to look down at what had just been done, the two were flung back and away from Pyrrha onto the ground.

"So yeah forgot to mention something else too..." Well this information would have been relevant sooner but he was pretty sure she didn't want her power broadcasted to everyone else. He felt his wrist move with Fox's, since he raised his hand up and heard the clinking of cuffs, inspecting them with sound.

"Somethin' about controlling metal I'm guessing?"

"Bingo."

Now that she was free of 2 boys, there still lay the problem of Nora attached to her leg. Ren seeing the usually calm warrior go for his partner, panicked and re-doubled his efforts in trying to restrain her. Jerking Fox along with him since they were hand-cuffed together. "Pyrrha wait!" Coco now joining into he fray since Pyrrha amped up her own resolve to get to the couple turned away from them.

From the front view of Velvet and Jaune while they chit-chatted, this looked like a very odd scene playing out behind them that usually happened in of those wacky animes with hilarious background scenes.

Velvet and Jaune talked while Pyrrha walked forward as best she could with 4 people on her. She failed on one attempt and fell forward, having the others drag her back by her legs while she clawed the ground going behind Velvet's back. She came back full force with a leap forward and all four clamored onto her back. Using her inhumane strength to make it forward. Nora was the first to come off and be thrown behind Jaune's back and the hammer-wielder zooming back to her leg.

Ok now this was just getting ridiculous.

"Yatsuhashi! Initiate maneuver G!" Fox strangled out o the silent warrior. Seeming to recognize this phrase, he staked forward just as the 5 were standing. As an automatic command, he opened his arms up and managed to hug all of them together to his chest and lifted up into a giant bear hug. Now all 5 teens were being hugged to death by a very large swordsman that said no words.

"Good work Yatsu!" If Fox could thumbs up him he would but the sound of his lungs being crushed from said bear hug with too many people was thanks enough. Pyrrha couldn't possibly break this hold now.

"Just what the heck is going on?"

Everyone in Yatsu's grasp stopped struggling to look behind the giant. There stood Jaune and Velvet, with both arms crossed.

"Oh you know a bit of reconnaissance for a future mission, training techniques, you know this one Velv!" Coco gasped out to her, gesturing to Yatsuhashi's hold he had on all of them. What no one noticed was the 1 bag in a particular persons' hands. Velvet seemed just a bit miffed at all of this. "You guys...didn't forget did you?"

At this everyone stopped moving to look at each other, even Pyrrha to everyone else from her question. When they all shook their head 'no' she sighed and tried not to blush up a storm. Jaune tried his best to calm her down with a smile.

"You first years aren't involved in this sort of thing but from second years up to seniors, we always present our partners on our respective teams with a memento from our time together." Rearing her eyes to her gentle giants eyes, Yatsuhashi immediately dropped his cargo from his height onto the ground and turned to the faunus girl. The group collectively gave groans of discomfort from being dropped on top of each other.

"You know, team bonding exercises and all?" Jaune agreed, deciding to step away from the twos' interaction. Instead walking towards Pyrrha who was recovering. "They said that the Headmaster chooses which of the partners presents their gift that year so it was Velvet's first time." Now that it seemed that all this was just a big misunderstanding maybe...

"So, what we all thought was something else completely as actually...?" The Mistralian tried to sound out to her leader. He only laughed nervously back at her situation. Trying to beat back the awkwardness shuffling his feet in front of his partner. "Velvet asked me to help her with her gift for a certain partner of hers.." Looking back over now to the blushing Velvet when she fished out her gift to Yatsuhashi. His face for the first time shows a faint blush as well coloring his cheeks, and he accepted it gratefully.

"She uh..wanted to know the things some guys like. But in the end she settled for something more homely." Pyrrha smiled at the odd duo, she couldn't possibly hold anything now that all this was just an innocent gesture for a friend.

Speaking of which...meanwhile while with Ren...

"I should have figured. Velvet did seem so ecstatic earlier in the week when leaving. So...did you get me anything Coco?"

"Of course I did, now that Velvet reminded us..." Fishing something out of her purse at Fox's side. Ren was on his other side since the two were still hand-cuffed. He still couldn't believe he was listening to this conversation happening.

"All yours Foxy~" leaning over him a bit, Fox felt just a slight pressure on the bridge of his nose and something being adjusted. "There you go." Smiling at her own work.

'Did she just-'

"Please tell me these aren't glasses." Sarcasm lacing his replying back. "Because you know I'm blind." Raising his left brow at her.

'This guy has no problem at all admitting his disability.'

She patted his shoulder playfully. "Of course not, they're shades. The best Vale's got for 600 lien, but I know the owner so special discount price, for a friend." Saying that last bit in a sultry tone for her partner.

"Bitchin'." Pushing his shades back like they were glasses falling down his nose.

'These two need their own sitcom.' Ren shook his still shackled hand with exasperated sigh. When would they free him?

His answer lay with a jolt to the ground on his right. Looking down to the slightly cracked earth, Nora beamed with intensity, with hammer in hand at Ren.

"No one shackles Ren up but me!" With a voracious yell raising her hammer in the air to aim for his links Upon hearing Ren scream, Coco turned to see the hammer and yelled. Fox not knowing entirely what was going on and copied their screams.

"Nora, wait!"

KABOOM!

"Did you hear something?"

A small explosion sounded in the distance but very faintly.

"..."

"Nah, musta been my ears." Replying back to man behind them; Said the individual using their pinky finger to dig out the ear canal that may have misheard something. The red-haired individual with a bang down their right side and marked with a tattoo on the right cheek, stood impatiently, waiting for their friends. A red jacket with piano keys embroidered on the lapels throw over his shoulders rather than put on.

It was just now getting a bit dark out. The airships would stop return visits to the academy soon if they didn't hurry.

"We'd best hurry." The husky tone replied back.

"Ya ya I know." Just behind the red clad person was a much taller gentleman in darker skin tone and several tattoos lining his pectorals, arms, and just around his neck in a long white coat and green spiked hair. Piercing amber orbs looked back at his partner in a showdown. He didn't really have to say anything at all from where their eyes went down to the 2 knocked out individuals behind him.

"We can't take 'em anywhere, can we Sage?" Shrugging from the ordeal they had to go through earlier. Right now, The sleeping Sun was tossed over Sage's right shoulder, and Neptune, he had by the scruff of his collar dragging him backwards behind him.

"That's what we're here for, Scarlet." Reminding his partner of the 2 goofballs they were stuck with for a team.

Scarlet just settled with a long sigh before signaling their counterpart to follow. "Well let's go. They're not goin' to start Volume 3 without US this time!"

Sage humbly nodded and continued their track back to the airship landing area with their baggage in tow.

A/N: Longest chapter yet? Longest chapter yet.

Catch the 'How to Train Your Dragon' reference of Pyrrha hurting Ren's hand?

And please excuse me if most of this sounds like a bunch of ramblings but I've been sick as of late and trying to get this chapter out has plagued me more ways than one. If there are spelling errors, which there probably are, I will fix them when I wake up but I'm way too tired to do so right now.

The appearance of Team CFVY and the missing SS' of Team SSSN finally show up as well! Yes, I was rather disappointed as well they did not show up for the finale.

Now lemme explain you a thing or two: Yes we all don't REALLY know yet if Fox is canonly blind or not, only by trying to tell from his entirely whited out eyes have fans been coming to the conclusion that he may be blind or partially blind from his fighting in the last episode.

As always, R & R, they do always mean a lot to me and encourage me to write no matter if its criticism to help improve on or just you saying thanks. Now most of my work can go into "The Cowardly Lion."

Sincerely,

Raiken.
