For Our Second Opening For This Arc We'll Stick With The Original RWBY Openings:

(Insert, RWBY Opening 3: When It Falls, Here)


Chapter 33: A Cry For War.

Beacon appeared close to a ruined monument as flames, rubbles, smoke and disasters spread like wildfire. The sky darkening as more grimm evaporate from their lost battles and foot soldiers firing their weapons, the white fang were decreasing in numbers with Atlas soldiers and Mistral specialist taking control of the battlefront.

But with Hybrids taking sides with the faunus, it would be much more challenging to fight the enemy forces head on, especially with the Hybrids using their grimmified forms. Beacon would soon find themselves pinned from every corner, no way to escape and no way to counter their forces.

The darkness began to surround them, hopelessly each soldiers began to feel what awaits them from the end of this battle. Death was close, the feeling of it only worsened with the cold breeze brushing against them. Even the elite veterans were beginning to slip from their own grip, as much as many were convinced that their was nothing they could do to escape, few still hold vast onto hope.

Ken Markes along with Wade Broekman and their squadrons stood firm defending Beacon's front lines, many were running low on ammunition but still they supported each other throwing mags to any who was down to zero. Ken and Wade had abandoned their rifles and relied more on their weapons, with both of them being on the offensive it gave most of the soldiers an opening to push forward.

But sooner or later they found themselves losing their ground and panting heavily from the constant fighting and rushing, with Misty recovering from her previous blow from Fifteen which made it just barely able to keep up with the two, this resulted her with helping the students to evacuate to lower floors of the academy. Still the two struggled with no equal support, they may be guardians but even they had limits, no even fully pledged huntsmens would feel their struggles.

Not to mention the wound on Ken's left leg made it worse for him as he kept his speed in continues motion, not slowing down for even a second. The battle with groups of bewolves proved to be more difficult then he expected, especially alone. With his blood trailing everywhere and his strength fading, Ken couldn't hold his ground anymore and soon he was losing his balance until he finally falls to his knees. "Wade, I don't think I can keep up any...more"

With Wade hearing the weakness in his voice, he narrowly catches Ken from falling and quickly tries to fall back. "Captain hold on, we're getting you outta here."

Wade soon found even his limit was reached, he couldn't move Ken to better grounds until he realizes it at the last second with the enemy closing in on them. With both of them being unable to defend themselves from the horde, they instinctively bring their arms above take the incoming blow. That is until they heard gun shots fired and hitting their attackers, "Neo, grab the Predator and get him out of here."

"Yo big ears? Can you walk?"

"Who's there?"

"There's too many, let's move out Mercury."

"You can say that again."

"My captain needs medical care."

"What we need to worry about is getting you two out."

"Was that Wade's voice?"

Ken was in the verge of passing out, he was so close to aura drainage that merely using it for one millisecond would render him out cold. He couldn't even use his legs to move nor his eyes to see what was going on, all he can do is listen to the situation around him. Thankfully the person holding him around his arms was what helped him escaped from the front lines (well he thought since he couldn't see), and the smell around his rescuer was one he did not recognized, it must have been someone he never met. But what he could say was that his rescuer had a strong scent of neapolitan, and for someone who has small arms (or so what he felt was small arms) his rescuer sure is strong to pull someone his weight. Well it doesn't really matter since Ken was very light, and he sure as hell wasn't a tank.

For what felt like awhile, Ken and Wade were finally evacuated back while the other remaining soldiers held the other forces back. "BlueFalcon is on go I repeat BlueFalcon is on go, evacuate the area in ten seconds."

"BlueFalcon? We didn't call for any strikers, who's bringing them in?" Wade protested, the sound of jet fighters were beaming closer to their way while the other soldiers evacuated from the danger zone.

Ken still being immobilized merely used his senses to read what was happening, aircrafts speeding above the skies, foot soldiers running his way from the sound of their feet, and cries of the many dangers that lay beyond the horizon. He was once again taken by the arm and pulled quickly to safer grounds, moments later loud waves of explosion sprouted from beyond with the aftershock beaming from their path. He was hugged tightly by his rescuer with his/her small arms resisting the strong force, in Wade's eyes he had witness a large napalm strike let down before the many enemies they fought.

The flames burning hotter as grimms, Hybrids and white fang members fell within the fire. It had slowed the large wave from pushing forward but it did not stop the enemy forces. They were closing onto Beacon slowly but largely in numbers, they weren't even sure if they were ever going to escape from this madness. All they could do was fight with what many strength they had left, but something began to rumble from beneath, something shaking the ground and leaving many to fall of balance. "What's happening?" Wade questioned abruptly.

A mechanical wall began to emerge from the ground, large chunks of lightning dust activating within the walls streaming electrical currents within. The wall was about ten meters tall and as thick as five meters, the wall would surely protect them on the ground, but still it left the school still vulnerable from enemy bullheads and Nevermores.

Wade and the others retreated towards the hallway as to treat their wounds from their battles, Ken was finally able to finally find the strength to open his eyes with his pain easing just slightly. "What's going?"

"Oh captain, finally your conscious"

Ken found himself staring at pale pink and white colored eyes, both alternating every time the person before blinked. She was a female with an innocent smile that told a tragic story behind it, her scent was unique and her hair color matches that of a neapolitan. "Who are you?" He asked.

With a simple wink and a smile it told him already what she was trying to say. "My name is Neo"

"Neo..."

"Wait...how can you understand me?"

"I...I don't know, I just can."

"Perhaps it has something to do with your enhanced grimm senses"

"You might be righ-wait how do you kno-"

"I work for Roman and Cinder."

"Cinder...that means you're an ene-"

"Relax I'm not an enemy, I'm actually helping you know"

"Hey who you talking too?" Ken turns his head towards his other two rescuers, one with grey hair and the other with emerald green hair and crimson eyes. "You...I've seen you from around here before."

"The names Emerald, this is Mercury."

"Sup"

"Thanks for saving us." Wade said moving to lift Ken from the ground, but Neo held him tight around her arms unable for Ken to lift himself up. Her arms planted firmly around his shoulders, "Ummm miss?"

"Ummm Neo, I may need to get up. Would you please release me?"

"Wherever you plan on going, I can politely escort you there if you wish."

"But I-"

"If you wish" Neo may be a mute be even Ken could feel the change in tone in her last sentence, her eyes change alternatively to brown on one side and pale pink switching to the other. Her expression told everything as she showed persistence and dominance over him, that alone made Ken stiff for a moment and gave up on protesting against her. "Okay" He quietly mumbled but enough for Neo alone to hear.

She retracts her innocent expression while's escorting Ken towards their needed location, "Now come, the others are waiting at your headmasters's office."

"O-Okay."

Wade along with Emerald and Mercury followed them along the way as students and soldiers sat near the walls, exhausted from the sleepless nights and constant fighting. "Where are we going Captain?"

"To Ozpin, apparently we're needed."

Neo had assisted him in his walking but tightly clung to him as he slowly began to regain his wounded leg, with his vulnerable state now his healing factor had greatly weakened. It wasn't too long ago he was hit but it would usually take a few minutes for his wound to heal, not to mention he was very much still oozing blood on to floor as he walked making it even more difficult for him let alone stand.

His attention was immediately caught as he saw the color scheme red, white, black and yellow coming his way. And it seems the yellow one was already appearing to look unpleasant to see the short girl clinging to him, "Ken, Wade where have you been?" Blake asks.

"And why is she here?!" Yang immediately intervenes with her question.

"Calm yourself Yang, this girl saved me. Show some respect and appreciation" Ken countered.

"She tried to kill me once!"

"What?" Ken looked towards the neapolitan girl with her face showing great annoyance, "Look that isn't important right now, we must head to the headmaster."

"Is it true?"

"It's a long explanation for another time, now come on and let's go."

"...Fine..."

"Where are you going?" Weiss questions watching as the two leave with the three, "We're going to Ozpin, something just came up that we apparently are needed for." Wade answers.

"Not when one of you are bleeding all over the floor." Ruby points out to Ken's leg as the trail of blood was just too noticeable. "We need to treat you first, we have some bandages here."

"Geez we don't have time for this." Mercury complained.

"Fine we'll get moving, Captain you're gonna have to catch up later" Wade suggested.

"Okay, but I'll be a bit late."

Everyone besides Neo had taken their leave to be on their way, but not before Emerald had stopped to try and get Neo to move along with them. "Neo come on, Cinder is waiting for us."

One look was all it took for Emerald to understand what she was saying, that one look she gave to Emerald was enough to bring nightmares to brave men. Mercury had taken upon himself to snap Emerald out of her sudden stiffness and pulled her along back with them, "Trust me, I don't think she doesn't want us to bother her."

"Ya think"

She stood near the four girls treating Ken's leg as Yang kept her menacing aura around her, showing that she wasn't about to hand him so easily as that, especially for a threat like her. "Doesn't this usually heal?" Blake asks.

"It would, but right now my body isn't exactly in the best shape."

"Why is she here?" Yang questions once more.

"She...she saved me during my battle at the front lines along with Wade, I didn't know your two were enemies."

"She's a threat to all of us." Weiss answered.

"Oh...how's Rosa and Naomi?"

"They're fine, right now they're being evacuated to the medical labs" Ruby said wrapping the last spots on his leg. "But some of the students were caught in some serious accidents."

"Okay...it's time we catch up with the others." The girls assisted him in standing up, although shortly Neo had arrived to his side to be on their way. "You better not let anything happen to him, and don't even think about hurting him!" Yang Threatened.

Neo simply rolled her eyes as she and Ken moved along, but she was stopped after an unknown force took hold of one of their hands. "Weiss?" Ken looked at her eyes with worries and fear behind them.

"Be safe alright, a lot of our friends are already getting hurt." She said softly.

Ken response with a determined nod and head towards the professor's office, Neo had grunted from her actions and wasted no time to let her be.

"I hate her."

"Of course you do."


"It appears the walls have kept them at bay, but who knows when they'll break through our defenses." Ironwood pointed out, the attack may have ceased on the ground, but the battle still roared above the skies. Thankfully they have strikers and bullheads to counter the enemy aircrafts attacking them, but with the many forces of Nevermore and ships, it was only a matter of time before they start to deplete and run out of options. "We've already contacted the other headmasters and military forces, they have their hands full. Seems we'll have to deal with this ourselves." Glynda said.

"My forces back at Atlas are well under attack themselves. Seems our situations just keeps on getting worse."

"Not to mention we've lost a city, All that's left of Vacuo now is rubbles and ashes." Qrow spoke.

"All the other kingdoms are occupied with no help coming their or our way." Taiyang reminded them.

"Our forces are beginning to weaken, and the enemy continues to push forward." Raven said.

"I'm sure we'll find a way, let's not lose hope" Summer encouraged, not letting any of the negativity effect her one bit."

"Hope? Sorry missy, hope is nothing more then an illusion we humans and faunus blindly cling to. If you wanna depend on something, then depend on luck." Cinder responded.

It was at that time the three finally arrived in the office, "Sorry we're late, things were a bit hectic down there." Mercury said.

"I see, none the less at least you're here...Where is the predator and Neo?" Cinder wondered.

"They'll be here soon, they just need a minute."

"Guardian forces will be arriving here soon, since sun rise won't be long I'm guessing they'll be here around an hour." David informed.

"Or thirty minutes if they're lucky." Silver replied.

Moments after the waiting, the two finally arrived with the others ready to start the meeting. "Finally you came, it's about time!" Roman complained.

"Hush Roman, Neo give him to me." Cinder ordered.

Neo was reluctant at first but regretfully hands Ken to her, she aids him with walking placing her hands on his shoulder. "Cinder"

"Markes."

"What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like? Helping, you look like you've seen better."

"I've been better." Ken letting her know he meant business let his angered eyes change before her as she merely shrugged it off with a chuckle and a wink.

Ken pushes off her arms from him and sat near Summer was, his eyes changing back to it's previous state. "For now what we all know is that our forces are quickly depleting and any outside help is out of option, we must do something before it's too late." Ozpin firmly explained.

"The guardians are on their way here, I was contacted not too long ago. A small battalion of Royal Patriots were left on Mistral, while the other large numbers divided themselves into helping Atlas and Vale. Some are to investigate Vacuo but I'm expecting no lead on what was the cause of the explosion." Ken explained.

Cinder intercepts as she reminded them of the last of their connection to the outside world, "Connection between kingdoms will be lost soon, with the C.C.T.S at Vacuo destroyed our signals will die out soon. So if we have a plan, I suggest we act now."

"Cinder is right, we need suggestions." Ozpin may have bad blood between him and Cinder but for once he was with her, sooner or later the situation will only get much worse if they continue to do nothing but fight them off.

"Maybe a frontal assault, if we continue to push forward and make a pathway we might just be able to get through this." David suggested.

"But that would also cause many sacrifices" Taiyang objected.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures" Raven spoke.

Cinder had agreed with Raven and saw no fault with the plan, "I agree, we can't save everyone, right?"

Summer on the other hand was with Taiyang, "I still don't like it, there must be another way."

After a long silence he held himself with, Roman finally spoke up. "Look miss goody white riding hood, not everything in this world is all rainbows and sun shine-"

"Hey don't talk to her like that." Qrow warned.

"I don't see you coming up with anything!"

"As much as I hate that plan, I want to make sure no one gets hurt. But it seems there might not be anything els we can do."

"See even the Predator agrees with us." Roman said in triumph.

"Ken you can't be serious?" Silver asked in disbelief.

"No, I may have to agree with my father this time. It's the only way."

"Wait...what's happening down there?" Everyone turned their attention Glynda and she watched the enemy forces cease fire, white fang, grimm, Hybrids, even Nevermores and Griffins above the sky began to descend to the ground. Everyone stopped attacking and stood where they stand, "What's going on? Why are just standing there?" Ironwood watched along with the rest with puzzled looks.

"Whatever they're doing, this might buy us some time." Glynda suggested.

"Right."

Everyone immediately got to work, David called on his scroll to the other strikers, Cinder worked on oum knows what it was, Ironwood and Ozpin were forming plans on their own part. Everyone had work to do, even Tai and Raven had taken action to investigate what was going on below. Ken, Wade along with Summer and Qrow sat there waiting for what awaited them for their next move. "This is all too much to take in." Ken said rubbing his two hands together anxiously.

"You haven't been getting much sleep, I think it's time for you to rest." Wade worriedly suggested.

"Right, it's just that everyone got involve in this mess because of me."

Summer did not like what Ken had said to himself, all of this was just bound to happen in due time. No one was at fault here, "Stop beating yourself like that, this was eventually going to happen. Your far from the cause of this Ken."

"You may be right...but that doesn't change the fact that my sister got involved in it, now she's out there somewhere kidnapped by those...Bastards."

"Just hope that she's safe, I'm sure the kid is guarded since they took her to get to you." Qrow said, immediately regretting it as she receives a nudge from Summer and Ken rubbing his face together trying to ease his worries. "I'm sure she's fine, just take it easy." Summer said softly as she placed her hand on his shoulder, comforting him.

That didn't ease his worries though, his head began to spin while's he struggled to inhale oxygen through his lungs. He tried to look at his surroundings, ultimately his eyes landed on Neo with a worried look. "Are you okay?"

That was the last straw, Ken immediately stood from his seat and tried his hardest to breath in air. His dizziness doesn't end as it further worsened with every second, he found himself feeling ill and ready to barf up any remaining substance in his abdomen. He loses balance over himself and falls over knees down trying to compose himself, Wade and the others quickly went to his aid but Ken reached out his arm for his fellow teammate. "Wade...HealthGear...now." He struggling to speak.

"HealthGear...Colonel David sir, Ken needs a HealthGear!"

"You're lucky, I've got one here." David throws a miniature device at the size and shape of a disc at Wade, he quickly kneels close to Ken and places the disc over his face, the disc began to cover his entire head as it forms a mechanical mask with a small oxygen tanks at his jaw area at each sides. "Zina, tap into the system...and check the heart...brain or aura."

"You've got it master, scanning for any unusual brain activates, cardiac anomaly or damaged tissues...it seems there are no signs of any defective problems Master, everything is all green."

"Nothing disturbing my aura either?"

"Nope..."

"Then why am I-"

"My diagnosis reads you've just experienced a severe anxiety attack."

"...What?...how?"

"Champ you okay in there?" Qrow tapped on his forehead to try and grab Ken's attention as many rushed to his side, he was already having trouble standing up, there was no way he was walking anytime soon. "Looks like you took a pretty bad hit there, anything okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm gonna need some help to walk back to my dorm though."

Neo instantly jumped at the chance of assisting her lovely predator, he looked to Cinder who had already read her like a book, knowing exactly what she wanted. "Very well Neo, help him back to his quarters. I guess even the Apex Predator has his limits."

"Shut it." Ken grunted.

"Awwwww poor little baby is worried, what's wrong? Can't handle the fact that you're at war now?" Roman barked.

"I will not repeat myself again Roman, hush and do as you are told. Go down below level and give them a hand, I don't wanna hear another excuse from you." Cinder abruptly orders.

"Yeah yeah whatever."

"I'll go with you, you may need help being treated if another comes your way." Summer offered herself.

"Thanks"

As much to Neo's dissatisfaction, the three head down to find a place for Ken to rest, Roman went along to another elevator to get to another location. Ozpin looked to his scroll as he eyed a certain four names that had connections that of the four seasons, he was skeptical on pressing the call button but just as Raven had previously said before. "Desperate times call for desperate measures, we're going to need as much help as we can."


The walk to team RWBY's dorm proved to be comparable to that of walking the whole desert of Vacuo, Ken had never felt so weak in his entire life. Every step was like a running a whole marathon, breathing was even more difficult as he became surrounded by students and soldiers.

The reason why Ken was moved from his dorm to team RWBY's was because at the midst of battle, they found team KRWN's quarters was hit by one of the enemy bullhead's...missile. Destroying every belongings the team had (except Ken's secret behind his closet, his lair prove to be durable enough to survive missile launches) of course he kept that a secret but it did left him with losing his book collection he had been gathering for the pass months. "It'll take some time to gather those again."

Neo didn't mind going for another walk to the girl's dorm, it only gave her more time to spend with her idol. For many months has his name been popping up on the white fang's radar, she didn't know much about Ken until Cinder finally took an interest in him. His skills unmatched and his speed that of a god, he was as deadly as the rumors told about him. He was definitely powerful for a boy his age, but still that didn't mean Neo didn't pick up some of his weaknesses.

After lifting the boy up to his feet Neo found Ken to be very light for a high kill count murderer, it only meant that the boy lacked strength. It was most likely he relied on speed, and from the looks of his body tone, Neo was able to guess that he may be a fighter that struggles with his endurance. One clean punch on the right spot may very well knock him down, and she could guess that if he were to grow tired from his constant maneuver then he would most likely be a deadman.

Even the most powerful fighters of Remnant has some sort of achilles's heel, still she admired the Predator's prowess. His combat skills without a weapon prove to be that of a master, and his skills with a blade said to be dangerous. "A man who becomes unstoppable with a touch of his sword, most interesting." She thought to herself, how Ken wasn't able to pick that up was beyond her.

"Neo."

The girl looked forward as she saw a familiar acquaintance of her pointed at their opposite direction, "New orders, Roman may need some assistance...now."

No way in this lifetime was Neopolitan taking orders from Adam Taurus, she walked all her way to here just to try and get along with her idol. "I'll take him."

"Adam?"

"Hello Predator, or should I say...Ken Markes." Neo this time didn't hand her the soldier, but the beeping in her pocket told her otherwise. She pulls out her scroll only to find dozens of messages from Roman, calling her to get to his area. Once again ruining the moment Neo grinds her teeth and hands Ken to Adam, she stumps her way towards the crook while's the other three continue their way to team RWBY's dorm.

Adam places Ken's arm around him as he lifts the boy assisting him, weirdly enough he found Ken to be very light and his feet already lifted from the floor. "What are you doing here? I thought you...you were-"

"Cinder and the others freed me, I was already informed of the situation and planned on helping along."

"Why? W-What's...your motive?" Ken questioned mustering any strength he had left to pull a knife out of his carried arm from his sleeve to level it around his neck, " At ease soldier, I'm not here to harm anyone...not that I see a reason to that is. I find this enemy of yours have step in the way of my own revolution, his ideals are similar to ours but not the same as the image I see Remnant fit. You and me have the same common enemy, it would be logical to hold a truce for now to destroy this much bigger threat, Right?

"True but-"

"Save your tongue Markes, I know what you have in mind. Just let me remind that this truce does not mean we're friends."

"I wouldn't...even hope for it to be."

"Would the two of you cut it out, we're here." Summer announced, she gently opens to the door to find the girls resting beneath floor from the exhausting battle, "Mom!" Ruby joyfully hops to hug her mother.

"Ruby, I'm glad your safe. I'm grateful that you're all safe." She returns the hug.

"Thanks miss Rose." Weiss said.

"What brings you here mom?" Yang asked.

"Well..." She leads Adam inside the room along with Ken, the girls immediately stood up onto their heels and gripped their weapons. "What's he doing here?" Yang angrily questions.

Blake watches in fear and worry, "Adam? What are you doing here?"

"Your friend seem to have experienced a severe anxiety attack, and now he can't even move, think nor breath properly. I was ordered to escort him to a safe location, where he can rest."

"Sorry to bring this news so sudden to you girls but, Ken needs to rest here for awhile until he can be back on his feet. I'd bring him to his dorm but...unfortunately his dorm is destroyed...by a missile." Summer informed.

"Okay sure but he can leave now, he's done right?" Yang said pointing to Adam.

"You're right, I've done my part. You idiots take care of him now. I'm through babysitting a freak, he doesn't deserve my time."

"He's a better man then you'll ever be" Weiss argued.

"Hmph" With that Adam took his leave from the room and went to join Neo and the others, meanwhile Ken was laid onto Weiss's bed. His breathing being more weaker and forced, his shaking slowly became frequent and his sweating became more (in the words of Weiss) 'Unpleasing'.

"Get me a clean wet cloth, a dry one and a bucket." Summer hurriedly demanded, the girls went to work as Weiss covered him in a more cleaner bedsheets and Blake handed Summer the bucket she wanted while Ruby and Yang found it difficult to find any piece of clothing to use as a cloth for Ken. But eventually they handed her the two items and Summer immediately wiped any of the remaining sweat that dropped around Ken's body, guessing that this may be the last of any clothing Ken had possessed, Summer took her time to unzip him from his shirt to clean of the sweaty odor on him.

Ruby took this chance to ruffle around what was inside Ken's shirt to see how exactly he hides his many knives or any of his other gadgets he uses in his arsenal for battle, "Ruby don't touch something that isn't yours."

Eeeekkk!" Ruby immediately let's the shirt go and places it back on the bed, "Sorry mom."

Knowing a Hybrid wouldn't catch colds, Summer guessed that Ken wouldn't mind sleeping shirtless in a room with four girls. Although that sounded deeply sketchy when said out loud, she was sure Ken still wouldn't mind. Lastly she places Ken back to the bed, covering him with the sheets and placing a slightly wet cloth over his forehead. "Make sure he gets all the rest he needs, don't disturb him. He lost a lot of time to sleep, and also to keep and eye on him."

"You've got it mom." Ruby saluted determinedly.

"Very good Ruby, I'll be back soon to check on him okay. I'll see you later."

"Okay later mom...so...Weiss...where are you sleeping?" Ruby wondered.

"Well obviously he's taken my spot, so that's out of the option."

"You can sleep in my bed with me." Blake suggested.

"Thanks Blake."

"Well might as well have a good night sleep while we're at it, since earlier they announced the enemy having a ceasefire. This gives us the perfect time to take that nap." Yang said already laying on her bed.

"Yang's right, we should take our time now to sleep so we could have energy to fight later when we need it."

"Okay, I'll watch over Ken for now. I'm not that sleepy yet." Blake offered.

"Alright, but sleep soon. We need everyone to be at their best." Ruby reminded.

She nods as the three girls merely close their eyes to fall in the depths of deep sleep, Blake watched Ken with curious looks as he wondered what happened to the elite soldier. "What happened that made you like this?"


The journey was long, the sky was nearing it's wake up call. Seventeen along with the others sat in silence each of them riding griffins on their way to their next destination, "Hey Seventeen, you never did told us where we were going next." Fourteen asks.

"Well...you see Fourteen, a certain group of leaders are bonding together that I must eliminate quickly myself. They are proving to be more threatening as time passes, I will bring myself to end their lives for good along with their precious city."

"What about Fifteen?" Sixteen was the next to asks.

"Fifteen is finishing on his part destroying the border patrols of that kingdom, we'll meet with him soon when we arrive."

"And where is that anyway?"

"...Vale..."


For Our Second Ending This Arc Will Be:

(Insert, Rei Yasuda: Mirror, Here)


Common: Well how's that for a come back?

Ken: Pretty okay, but how about putting some humor in the next chapter.

Common: Yeah maybe you're right, I should lively it up to not make it blaine.

Ken: Well at least it wasn't like-

(Yang barges in the room wearing a Banana suit)

Blake: Yang what are you-

Yang: (Does a split)

Ruby: Oh no.

Yang: So guys...what do you think of my-

Weiss: Don't you say it-

Yang: Banana split...

Everyone:...

Yang:...aye...aye...

Ruby: (Sigh) Yang.


Meanwhile Outside The Studio.

(Yang gets thrown outside)


Common: I don't know either to hate her puns...or miss it.

Ruby: You won't be missing it anymore now that your back.

Common: Aha, it's good to be back baby.

Ken: So how's it been with Chibi?

Common: Cute, not bad...not the best but still cute.

Weiss: The best part about Chibi is playing with Chibi Zwei. (Breaths heavily)

Common: Is Weiss always been like this?

Ruby: Only when it involves cute things.

Common: You know I wouldn't mind starting a chibi series here on the story but that would mean the Author's section would be replaced by that instead.

Ruby: Nooooooo.

Common: What-

Ruby: Don't. You. Dare. Take. My. Chance. Away. Of. Hosting. A. Show!

Common: It was just a suggestion, the readers would have to decide.

Ruby: (Looks at Readers) Don't. You. Dare.

Common: If you guys don't mind, my cousin has started his own youtube channel. It's /JyleRandom, the reason I'm giving him a shout out is because he's really putting a lot of effort in his videos. And no it's not like those generic cod gamer channels, it's a channel revolving around gamers and otakus. He told me "The soul reason he made the channel was to bring gamers and otakus together, a channel where you can find gaming and anime related content in one channel".

Ken: How old is your cousin?

Common: Around the same age as me, although if you actually check him out he's still keeping his mouth shut about me. I'd rather that I'd be anonymous, besides it's better for people to use their imagination about me.

Blake:...

Common: That did not come out right.

Ken: Well I guess it's time to wrap things up.

Ken: Thanks again for reading this chapter and hopefully understanding my creator's long absence, we'll see you all next time.

Everyone: See ya laters.

Ruby: Hey look a bird flew into the Studio.

Everyone: (Looks at the bird)

Weiss: Hey what do you call a disabled bird?

Common: Well Weiss I'm pretty sure it's just a called a disabled bi-

Weiss: Steven Hawking...

Everyone: (Looks at Weiss unamused)

Weiss:...aye...aye...

Everyone:...


Meanwhile Outside The Studio.

(Weiss gets thrown outside)

Weiss: Aw, hey it was just a joke.

Everyone: No.
