Cardin wakes up on water, he starts gagging some out and notices that he is surrounded by statues. The first is holding a sword, the second a key and the third a scroll. He gets up and turns to three people kneeling in prayer, they pray strange things like father Washington or father Jefferson and all sorts of nonsense. Cardin gets up and walks through the people in the area and reaches the door, he opens it up to reveal the floating city of Colombia. In front of him is a statue of not Comstock but a man with a beard that seems to resemble him or Jaune.

"I think I see a little bit of Jaune in that..."He continues to walk on the path, the owner of the hotdog stand turns to him.

"Good morning."The owner greeted.

"Good morning to you." Cardin replied. He looks at the statue and shrugs it off, he looks at the boy waving a newspaper saying something about an anniversary. Cardin proceeds and spots the boys wallet. Cardin looks around and shrugs.

"Thank you~"He takes the wallet and continues to walk. The boy passes by a mechanical horse and many other oddities which are found in Vale, strange considering its 1912 and they have pretty much advanced technology that might be qualify as futuristic at this time. In front of him is an already separated bridge with a floating float passing by it.

"Sorry sir, you have to wait." The police advised.

"After the victory at Wounded Knee, the angel Colombia present herself to Father Marius and showed her vision of the future. And so our prophet led his people away from the sodom bellow. Up, up into the sky, where they created an even more perfect union." The parade passes by and the bridge connects to the other side. Cardin continues walking and spots a poster with a man in a cloak that resembles him leading a lamb.

"What the?" He walks towards it.

"Beware the false Shepherd, for he will lead the lamb astray...Bunch of crap that is." He starts to laugh it up and leaves. Suddenly, he looks to the right to see a quartet singing on top of a flying airship.

"Oh, oh, oh. For the longest time. Oh, oh, oh. For the longest time If you say goodbye to me tonight. There would still be music left to write. What else could I do? I'm so inspired by you. That hasn't happened for the longest time."

Cardin smiles at the sight, it reminded him of...Pain and loss? His nose starts to bleed and words begin to echo in his head, the voices sound like Jaune or Pyrrha.

Shut down the machine! Shut it now!

Please, no! She's my daughter!

She is mine now!

No!

Cardin shakes his head and walks away while rubbing his nose from the hemorrhage. He enters an alley with an entrance in front of it, he pulls out the picture from the box.

"Message from Mr Winchester!" He looks down to see a little kid waving a message at him. Cardin takes it and opens the envelope.

Winchester

Edgar does not know your here *STOP* If you are experiencing hemorrhages and false memories, inform us when we meet again *STOP* Also, do not pick number #16 *STOP*

-Lutece.

Cardin raises his eyebrow and puts the note away. He spots what appears to be a fair and walks to the steps leading to it, there he see's...Velvet?

On the stand is Velvet Scarlatina wearing a a classic red tuxedo, showing off her cleavage, a red blazer and wears a red top hat. The spotlight shines on her, on the bottom left and right are men wearing devil costumes shooting what appears to be energy at each other, the left shoots a wave and the right begins floating.

"Have ever seen a man shoot fire? Do you ever want to define gravity? Well try Scarletine industries miracle med, the nostrum! Soar pass long lines like the devil soaring the heavens with sonic boom! Rebel against the men of metal or turn foes to friends with phantom whisper! Fix a shorted out light bulb with electrify! And light your day up with infernal embrace! You know we don't lie! You know were 100% authentic! So come on down and buy a nostrum!"Cardin smirks at (Infinite) Velvet causing her to give him the "you,me,bed" look. He walks pass by numerous attractions that seem to not interest him until...

Cardin spots a man in a mechanical suit, over his suit covering it is a trench coat with a hood, the mechanical suit is silver and on its chest is his heart encased on it covered in glass, on his face is a helmet that has circular lenses. He flips and then kicks the air then shows off his weapons, wrist sniper rifle mixed with a knife and a shotgun holstered over his back. The mechanical man twirls his blades then they slip back into his wrists. The crows begins to clap and cheer at him as he backs away while his helmet flips off, he has a smile on his face and he bows to the crowd.

"Ladies and gentleman! The guardsman! Watch him take down the Vox with ease, he'll serve Colombia with all his might!"(Infinite) Oobleck introduced.

"And tuck all the children at night!" The guardsman completed the sentence with a wink at the ladies, the ladies next to him faint in pleasure. The guardsman has spiky blonde hair and seems to resemble Sun Wukong. Cardin smirks and continues walking, he spots another mechanical man connected to a ticket machine.

"Sorry buddy, tickets sold out!" The machine spoke causing Cardin to sigh, he hears someone advertising a nostrum and turns to her.

"Tired of being late for work all because a no good machine slowed you down? Found the mugger and want your money back? Try phantom whisper!" Cardin looks at the girl. He shrugs in response.

"I'll take one."The girl giggles, he pulls off the cap and drinks it.

"With one touch, there all eyes and ears~" Everything begins to turn green and a ghostly woman giggles in front of Cardin. The hallucination ends and everything turns to normal. Cardin looks at his hand glows green with the ghostly woman floating over it, he shoots the vigor at the machine.

"Hello there Ms Valkyrie! Sorry I didn't see you there! Odd..." The door opens to reveal the Luteces, Robert has a chalkboard over his shoulders while Rosalind has a plate. Unlike Booker, there is no marks on the Roberts chalkboard.

"Heads?"

"-Or tails?" Cardin raises his eyebrow.

"Excuse me, I gotta-" Robert tosses a coin at him.

"Heads?"

"-Or tails?" Cardin looks at the coin and sighs.

"Tails." He flips the coin and it lands on the tails on the plate.

"I actually find this satisfying." Robert commented.

"That's because its the first time." Rosalind replied.

"Ahem!" The Luteces turn to Cardin.

"Your the Luteces right?" Cardin asks.

"Why yes."

"Whats with the nosebleeds?" The boy asks.

"Don't panic but...We believe your turning into...This universes Cardin." Cardin raises his eyebrow causing Rosalind to sigh.

"That means the memories of this world are slowly getting into your head making you think that your part of this world due to the fact there is a Cardin in this world. In other words-"

"-Assimilation." Cardin's eyes turn wide at this observation.

"How do I stop it?"

"Memory is the key, so its best to remember the people from your world. Do you know Blake Belladonna?" Cardin raises his eyebrow.

"Of course, she's my daughter..."Cardin's eyes turn wide. Blake's not his daughter, where did he get this?

"Classmate."He corrected, he begins to fizz up again causing his nose to bleed. He leaves as the Luteces bid fair well to him, as he continues walking, the thoughts of Blake being his daughter disgusted him and at the same time...found it cute. Cardin shakes his head and spots the local park. He spots another poster with a hand that has BW written on it.

"Beware the False Shepherd, know him by this mark..."He looks at his right hand to reveal that it has the same brand. He makes his way into the park and see's (Infinite) Velvet on stage.

"Welcome to the annual raffle!" (Infinite) Velvet greeted with glee as conffeti's fly all over the place. Cardin tries to get to the other side but a crowd is blocking the way.

"Mister!" Cardin turns to see a girl holding a basket full of balls with numbers on them.

"Pick a ball?"

"Sorry, I can't at the moment."

"It's just a ball." Cardin sighs and picks one up, the ball is labeled number 16.

"Alrighty folks, today we announce the winner of Colombia's annual raffle!" (Infinite) Velvet picks up a ball from her assistants hand.

"Number 16! Claim your prize!" Cardin smiles in response as the blinds begin to open, Cardin's smile turns into a face of a person that just went through hell. On a pole is an African-American woman and a Caucasian tied on a pole, behind them is a monkey holding a bible as the crowd begins to sing the wedding song. Cardin gasps at the sight and turns to (Infinite) Velvet.

I guess this is how we treat the Faunus...I should make up with my worlds Velvet when I get back home...

"Looks like we got a shy one here folks!" Cardin grips the ball and stares at (Infinite) Velvet with pure anger.

"I'll show you number 16 you sick bitch-"He aims the ball but someone stops him, in front of him is (Infinite) Dove and (Infinite) Jaune.

"Wait!" (Infinite) Dove looks at his hand.

"Its the false shepherd!" (Infinite) Jaune cried. (Infinite)Velvet bends her knee at Cardin with a smile.

"Lookie what we got ere, guess the false shepherd has finally shown himself! And you know what we do to false shepherds!" (Infinite) Dove aims his sky hook at Cardin, the blade begins to spin as (Infinite) Jaune restrains him. Cardin slowly backs his head away from the blade and spots (Infinite) Doves weapon, the paddy wacker, he grabs it with his left hand and shoots (Infinite) Dove in the leg, causing it to tear off. (Infinite) Jaune panics and Cardin shoots him in the face, blood and brain matter cover Cardin's face as everything he could hear is ringing. He quickly runs to the stairs.

RWBYverse

Booker carries a box full of jars as team CRDL, JNPR and RWBY walk through forever fall forest. Booker breaths the fresh air, the atmosphere is almost breath taking causing him to smile.

"Enjoying the forest Cardin?" Yang asks.

"Yep."

"Alright, the scenery maybe breath taking but remember your assignment with professor Peach. Collect the saplings but be careful, stick with your teams due to the fact the presence of Grimm in the area." Glynda advised. After the teams split, Booker signals Jaune.

"I don't think she'll-"

"Look kiddo, just explain it nice and slowly, alright?"

"Maybe after this." He notices his teammates are doing nothing but sitting there lying on their backs. Booker sighs and collects the saps on his own, he walks back and drops them off.

"I got the box!" Russel intervened.

"What?"

Russel gives a jar to Jaune.

"Thanks for the manipulation Cardin! Okay weakling, throw it! So we could unleash the rapier wasps against that red-head know at all!" Jaune looks at the jar full of sap with a betrayed look on his face. Booker doesn't know what to do, Jaune is going to get into trouble and its going to be his fault that his own teammate will forever hate him because of that. He made mistakes...Not this time.

"Alright, are you all a bunch of pussies? I'll throw it at Pyrrha!" They turn to him.

"Yeah, that's right! A real comes up with a plan the does it himself!" He grabs the jar from Jaune and aims it at Pryyha who is busy collecting saps. Suddenly,a tear is seen right next to her, she probably didn't recognize it or it just opened up. Booker hesitates to throw...He lowers the jar.

"What the? Okay, its Jaune's turn now!" Booker turns and throws the jar of sap at Russel.
