*Adam, OOH Ruby, Jenkins and Melody are busy looking at a computer screen, showcasing the current poll results for 'An Arc of Fates.'*
Adam: My God.
OOH Ruby: Yeah, that was weird.
Jenkins: Wow.
Melody: Yep.
After calming down from their fit of insane laughter, Tai grabbed the book from Winter.
"Well, that was hilarious, but it's high time that we got back to reading. Tai, if you would?" Tronmaster said.
"Sure thing." Tai said, opening thr book, and beginning to read.
[Galbadia Garden]
[No P.O.V.]
"I've got a feeling like this-" Jaune said, before Alicia hog-tied Cinder and dragged her out into the elevator.
"Okay..." Neptune said, as Tai continued reading.
Musaline was walking through the halls of the living quarters, her hand under her chin.
"I wonder what she's thinking about." Yang said.
"Who knows." Blake said.
"Where is Rojo?" Musaline muttered to herself before pushing the door to Beige's room.
"And awkward moment in 3, 2, 1."Penny said, counting down.
"HEY!" Beige shouted, in return Musaline slammed the door shut.
"Boom, called it." Penny said.
"Was she..." Qrow said trailing off.
"I'd rather not know." Summer said.
"Beige if you're jack off in your room make sure you've shut the door ALL THE WAY!" Musaline shouted.
"Son of a bitch, I said I DIDN'T want to know!" Summer said.
"Wow, too much information." Sun said.
"I thought it was!" Beige shouted, "Why'd you barge in anyway Muse?"
"I'm looking for Rojo." Musaline said, "Figured if she wasn't in her room with her son she'd be in here."
"Fair enough reason I suppose." Raven said.
"Well you're wrong about that." Beige said coming out of her room in only boxers and a tank top, "She stoped by here for a kiss, then she went over to Clay to get her little boy a treat."
"Why?" Musaline asked a little confused.
"I'd like to know too." Pyrrha said.
"I am curious." Ren added.
"Because little Red's first mid-term results just came in the mail today." Beige said, "Little guy passed all his tests with flying colors."
"Ah, that's awesome." Yang said.
Musaline smiled, "I guess it's time we make a stop in Deling City." Musaline said.
"I'm not even gonna ask." Nora said.
"Same." Jaune said.
"Oum YES!" Beige shouted, "Man I missed that place, it's been almost a YEAR since we were last there."
"Must be a good reason why that is." Weiss said.
Musaline's smile faltered, "Wait... a Year?"
"Yeah, that seems like a long time." Nora said.
"Yeah." Beige said.
"Oh jeez." Musaline said starting to panic, "With so much GF activity going on during the year I forgot about the Festival of the Sorceress."
With that Musaline ran through the wall as it liquidated.
"Sounds like quite the big deal." Qrow said.
"Yeah, if there's an entire festival dedicated to the Sorceress, it must be a big deal." Raven said shrugging.
Beige shrugged, "Hard to believe Deling City lasted so long throughout the ages." She mused as she went back into her room, "Even harder to believe they prefer to be led by the Sorceress rather than an elected official."
"Hey, whatever works I guess." Summer said.
[G. Garden, Headmasters office/control station]
"Same place, different location.' Penny said.
Musaline burst into the room and ran toward a metal platform that sat at the base of a metal pillar, the platform shot up like an elevator as soon as Musaline stepped on it and she soon found herself standing in front of a control panel.
"Gotta give the NEO Galbadians this, they certainly have taste." Yang said, shrugging.
"Agreed." Blake said.
Musaline slammed her hand on a red button that had the symbol for volume on it before grabbing a mic, she had turned on the intercom.
"Attention all personnel within Galbadia Garden." Musaline said, "Brace yourself for immediate re-direction, we're making our way to Deling City as maximum speed."
'Just like with Slate, I can weirdly imagine Musaline sounding like Jen Taylor when she's voicing Cortana. Pre Halo 5.' Tronmaster thought idly.
Musaline waited a few minutes before placing her hands on the control panel.
A few button presses later the entire garden jerked to the side as it turned to the left, then jerked to a stop before it lurched forward at maximum speed.
"Oh boy, that would NOT be great for my motion sickness." Jaune said.
"Fortunately, the Swift Retribution was designed in such a way so that no one who has motion sickness needs to suffer." Alicia said, stepping out of the elevator.
"Hey babe." Tronmaster said, as Alicia sat on his lap, "Where's Cinder?"
"No need to worry, love." Alicia said, giving Tronmaster a kiss.
With the directions taken care of Musaline backed away from the console as the auto-pilot took over and directed them to Deling City.
Musaline stepped back onto the elevator platform and returned to the lower level, and when she had made it back to the main level she turned her head to the irritated looking large black feathered Chocobo that sat in the corner of the room in a nest.
"Monty Oum, that's a huge bird!" Jaune said.
"Wait, Chocobos come in black?" Blake asked.
"Yep." Alicia said, "Although, in some Final Fantasy games, you can actually dye the feathers on your Chocobo."
"Huh, neat." Ruby said.
"Sorry about that girl." Musaline said rubbing the Chocobo's head, "Mommy forgot what was going to happen soon and she had to make an emergency re-direction."
"Well, in addition to giving a damn about her subordinates, she's actually a very good pet owner." Weiss said.
"Yeah, I hope that I can be the same for Boco here." Ruby said, Boco chirping.
"Wark." The Black Chocobo called as it began to preen it's feathers.
"I'll get you some Gyshal Green's." Musaline said standing back up.
"I wonder if a fully-grown Chocobo is faster than Bumblebee." Yang mused to herself.
[G. Garden cafeteria]
"I have a bad feeling about this." Sun said, grabbing his tail.
"SON OF A-!" Clay shouted as he threw the hot pan off his tail, before dunking it in a sink full of cold water before dumping a bucket of ice in it.
"Isn't that a bit excessive?" Neptune asked.
"Clearly you have never burned your ANYTHING on a hot pan." Sun said.
"You okay?" Rojo asked as she had kept a firm grip on the covered tray of brownies.
"Damn, those look like some good brownies." Qrow said.
"I know, I want some brownies now." Winter said.
"Yeah, I'll get over it." Clay said as his tail poked up for a moment before going back underwater, "Not like it's the first time it happened."
"I see..." Rojo said unsurely, "I'll... go get the others."
"It's probably best, considering the sudden change in direction." Blake said.
[A few hours later]
[Parking lot]
"Guess we're at some random parking lot." Jaune said.
"Although, I'm guessing it's not for an ice cream social." Ren said.
Musaline stood by her personal vehicle, a large jeep capable of seating ten adults comfortably and was let black with grey outlines.
"Not a bad looking jeep." Yang said, "I approve."
The rest of the NG Soldiers had already climbed into the various cars, trucks, and jeeps and had already driven off into Deling City, save for the commanders.
"Wow. They're unbelievably late." Winter said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Qrow said.
"About time you all got here." Musaline said.
"Sorry, but my tail was cooked." Clay said holding up his bandaged tail.
"And miss 'Branwen's must die' was busy practicing her gloating once she's killed a Branwen." Slate said hiking a thumb toward Widow.
"Wait, wait. Widow actually practices monologuing?" Raven asked, laughing her ass off, "What is she, a supervillain?"
Said faunus hissed at Slate, seeing as he had caught her during one of her moments.
"Yeah, her moment of supervillain monologuing." Blake said, chuckling.
"Yeah, cliché much?" Sun asked jokingly.
"Sorry about your tail Clay." Musaline said, "And Widow keep your moments at a minimum please."
"I try my best Musaline." Widow said opening her hands in an innocent gesture, her extra mechanical limbs doing the same.
"Wow. Just, wow." Penny said.
Just get in the car." Powder said pushing Slate and Widow into the back of the Jeep.
"Shotgun!" Aurum called out jumping into the passenger seat.
"Yep. Definitely my uncle." Jaune said.
"I could imagine you doing that." Nora said.
"I'm driving!" Clay said pulling the keys from Musaline's hands.
"Yoink." Tronmaster said.
"Why can't we just take one of your portals?" Veil asked.
"My guess, it probably has something to do with her being a Sorceress." Summer said.
"Yeah, probably." Ruby said.
"Because you know how the people of Deling City react to my presence." Musaline said, "I don't want them to think I'm not going to be around for the Festival."
"Fair enough reason, I suppose." Qrow said.
"Fine." Veil said climbing in, Musaline following behind.
Followed by Musaline whistling twice.
"Oh boy, this is going to get uncomfortable." Sun said.
"Yeah. For them." Neptune said.
"Wait wait wait wait!" Was the common consensus of the people inside of the car just moments before Musaline's Black Chocobo ran in and jumped into the jeep.
"Kweh!" Called the Chocobo.
"Ouch." Sun said.
"Yeah, that looks uncomfortable." Penny said.
"GAH! Night you're on my foot!" Slate called out.
"So, Night's the name of Musaline's Chocobo." Blake mused to herself.
"Night get your wing is pressing against my Thorax!" Widow called out.
"I get that she's a spider Faunus, but why does she call her midsection her Thorax?" Yang asked.
"The fuck if I know." Tronmaster said, "Until giggles McPsychoFace, AKA Tyrian was introduced, we didn't even KNOW that arachnid or any insectoid Faunus exist."
"At least on Earth, anyway." Alicia added.
"Isn't that your turn on spot?" Beige asked.
"Why exactly do I get the chapter with the weird dialogue?" Tai asked.
"To be perfectly honest Tai, you reading this chapter wasn't intentional, but it is hilarious." Tronmaster said, chuckling.
"Keep you're dirty thoughts in the bed with Rojo, cat!" Widow snapped.
"You wanna go Spidey?" Beige shouted back.
"Is it me, or is there some sort of tension between Beige and Widow?" Summer said.
"Probably." Alicia said, shrugging.
"Muse anything you want to listen to right now? Block out all this arguing?" Aurum called out as the jeep started up.
"How about Lusus Naturae by Jeff Williams?" Musaline said.
"I've never heard of that song before." Sun said.
"Funny enough, not only does Jeff Williams, along with his daughter Casey Lee Williams exist on Earth, but the song Musaline referenced is from a video game made by Rooster Teeth." Tronmaster said.
"RWBY: Grimm Eclipse." Alicia said.
"Wait, we have a video game?" Ruby asked, Tronmaster nodding in response, "Awesome!"
"Night get those tail feathers out of my face before I sneeze!" Rojo called.
"Is she allergic to feathers?" Jaune asked.
"Probably." Pyrrha replied.
As the shouting continued the Jeep began to move out of the Garden as Jeff Williams Lusus Naturae began to blast from the pen window.
"I love this song, because it reminds me of one of my favorite bands, due to the guitar." Tronmaster said, "Avenged Sevenfold rocks." He added under his breath.
"Not that I don't mind, but who's grabbing my dick?" Beige called out.
"TMI!" Blake shouted.
"UGH!" Veil shouted out in disgust, "Do you have to say things like that?!"
"I'm with Veil on this." Tai said, handing the book to Summer.
"Yeah, that's a serious case of TMI." Yang said.
"Seriously though, where did Cinder go to?" Diablos asked, getting a wicked grin from Alicia in return.
*Adam, OOH Ruby, Jenkins and Melody are laughing their asses off again.*
