Locating The Tower

*This is most likely going to be a short chapter, I'm on a school laptop (No internet at home, snowstorm and all) So I legit have 30-40 minutes to write this. Sorry.

Ryan and the five Achieve Men sat in a circle, books piling over their head. Their eyes were cloudy from fatigue. They had pulled an all-nighter trying to find the location of The Tower of Pimp.

"It says here… That…" Gavin stuttered. Suddenly, he fainted and lay sprawled on the ground. Ryan shook his head, and grabbed the book from Gavin's hands.

"Let's see… Oh. It says here that scholars think the most likely area the Pimponians hid the tower was in or around The Famous Altar of Pimp." He told.

"Where is that?" Geoff asked, just barely remaining awake. Ryan looked into the book again. He slammed his fist in frustration.

"Damn! It' in Weoeras! Across the fucking ocean." He cursed. The others hung their head.

"Old Ozpin'll never let us all the way over there." Jack pointed out. Ryan rolled his eyes.

"We don't have to tell him. It's not like he checks up on us, and none of the students will miss us." Ryan said, smiling. Jack pouted.

"I don't know… Those Team RWBY girls would probably notice, and I heard they were close with Ozpin…" Jack replied. Ryan shrugged.

"It won't matter, guys, come on. We'll head off next week, eh? Its only one boat trip away." He told. Jack nodded, but didn't look too convinced.

"I'll trust you on this one, Ryan…" Jack said. Ryan chuckled.

"Great!" He spat. Gavin jolt awake upon Ryan's cheerful words.

"Didn't Edgar just die? Ryan… Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" He asked suspiciously. Ryan, being the prestigious liar he was, brushed it off.

"I'm just so happy to get more power to help others, you know! Plus… I don't need Edgar!" He barely got the words out of his mouth. I don't need Edgar. Complete lie. Edgar was his inspiration, his motivation to fight, his only friend. The others dropped their jaws upon hearing these unspeakable words.

"You're over him?! Already? Shit, Ryan, didn't think you would ever get over that fucking mini-moo." Geoff told, impressed by Ryan.

"Yeah, Ryan, good for you. #FreeEdgar2013 is complete! The poor soul is now free!" Ray cheered. Ryan nodded slowly. He felt like choking all of them.

The poor soul. He was happy with me. I'll show them… but I can't blow my cover.

Ryan thought, yelling in his own head. He gave a weak smile at Ray, and immediately dug his nose back in the book.

Suddenly, the door jolted open. Yang stood at the other side, hands on her hips.

"Heeelllooooo! Whatcha doing?" She barged. Michael rolled his eyes.

"It's rude to intrude." He spat at her. She smiled.

"What, were you doing something inappropriate? Come on, why can't I barge in if you're all boring buffoons! I'm obviously not interrupting much, anyway," She replied, looking at the pile of books in disgust. "You still didn't answer my question, anyway. Whatcha doing?"

Michael slammed the book on the floor violently.

"We're…. Researching…." He told her through gritted teeth. She grinned.

"Oh, cool! Whatcha studying?" She asked, peaking her head over the books. Michael immediately closed the book.

"Nothing. Where's your friends, anyway? Shouldn't you be with them?" He asked. Yang shook her head.

"Nah, they're asleep. I'm always awake early." She replied. Ryan closed his eyes.

"Just…get… out." He muttered. Yang was taken aback.

"Woah, man, calm down." She said jokingly. Ryan sighed.

"We're working, please leave." He repeated. Yang eyes Ryan curiously, nodded, and left. Ryan shook his head.

"Interfering with our work." He muttered under his breath. Jack watched as Yang left the room.

"Ryan, didn't have to be so harsh, man. What's gotten into you?" Jack asked. Ryan looked up, and smiled.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

4 days later

Ryan held up a crapload of documents in his hand.

"Our papers to go to Weoeras!" He shouted excitedly at the group.

"Pipe down, Ryan, geez. Someone might hear." Geoff advised. Ryan shrugged.

"Sorry, man, I'm just so excited to get a hold of this tower!" He cheered. Jack shushed him.

"Dude, why do we need all those papers?" He asked. Ryan chuckled.

"Well, it's across the ocean. Also, the place doesn't know what aura is, so these are just contracts saying we won't introduce them to it for 'safety reasons'. They're very power-hungry, see." Ryan pointed out.

"And you think we'll be able to sneak a huge tower out of the country without them getting a little hot-headed?" Jack pointed out. Ryan shook his head.

"We'll get it," His eyes darkened. "I will not fail."

*I'm sooooo sorry for this piece of crap chapter. I must retaliate, but it will have to be another time. Please forgive me.
