I never doubted for a second. RWBY kicked ass in the first round and now it was my treat
"Nicely done" I said as we looked for a place to eat.
"Was there ever any doubt" Weiss said
"Let's go eat" Ruby cheered
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a hand take Ruby's wallet.
"Might be hard to eat without this"
I had to stop myself from punching her, it was Emerald.
"Oh, no no no no no" Ruby started freaking out.
Emerald gave a fake laugh and said "good to see ya, Ruby"
Was she talking about the team or actual Ruby, they really need to clarify this shit.
"Oh thanks Emerald. Ugh girl pockets are the worst" Ruby complained
"What's up Em" Yang chimed in
"Just left the stadium after your amazing fight, you guys were awesome"
"Oh stop, shut your stupid little face" Ruby barely made out blushing
"I heard your team made it to the next round as well" Blake said
Right, even Blake didn't know Emerald.
"You know I feel like we never see your other teammates" Weiss stated
"How'd they do in the fight?" Yang asked
"Uh, really well" Emerald said
"That's great, why don't we all go out and get some victory food together?" Ruby asked
Terrible idea Ruby.
"Oh gosh, that's so nice of you but all my teammates are kind of... Introverted" Emerald said and glanced over to Mercury sniffing a boot. Fuck, guess All the baddies are here too. "Really socially awkward"
"Oooh, yeah. I can see that" Yang said
Damn, I think the way Yang said that made my heart melt.
"So it looks like Merc and I are gonna be moving on to the doubles round, what about you guys?" Emerald asked
Finally the true colors show, just wanted information.
"As the leader of the team I thought long and hard about this decision" Ruby said
"We put it to a vote" Weiss said not having Ruby's shit
"Ah, yes but I thought we should put it to a vote." Ruby tried to save her confidence
"We voted on Weiss and Yang" Blake said
"I will happily represent team RWBY" Weiss said as she bowed
"Yang, we're gonna kick some ass" Yang said as she pounded her fists together
Emerald gave off a fake laugh and said "well if Mercury and I see you down the line don't think we'll go easy on you"
"Wouldn't have it any other way" Yang said as she gave off a laugh.
"Alright well we're gonna go catch some more fights" Emerald said
"Have fuuuuun" Ruby called as we all turned to leave.
"See you later" Emerald called back
I moved my hat so you could actually see my face now and pulled out my credit card and handed it to Yang.
"Get whatever you want, I'll catch up later" I called as I ran to stalk Emerald and Mercury.
"So how are the new "friends?" Mercury asked
"I hate them" Emerald replied
"Orders are orders" Mercury said
"I just- how can they be so happy all the time?" Emerald asked rhetorically
"Did you at least get what we want?" Mercury asked
"It's the heiress and the bimbo"
Something in me snapped, nobody insults Yang. I tapped Emerald on the shoulder and as soon as she turned around I focused my aura into my fist and punched her. She got sent to the ground. I don't care if people stare, nobody insults my crush! Oh, almost forgot to be cool.
"They're always happy because unlike us, the darkness doesn't control them. They're stronger than us."
"Lucifer" Emerald said with venom in her voice.
Mercury pointed his shotgun shoe at my head.
"Cute" I said trying to be as much of a dick as possible.
"You decided to finally face your death like a man?" Emerald asked like a bitch
"Heaven's Door" I said as daggers appeared at Mercury's and Emerald's throat. "This is your warning, if what you're doing puts my friends in danger, I'm gonna stop you."
"Even you can't stop this" Emerald said as she grabbed the dagger, ran at me and held my own dagger at my throat.
"Impressive, you're the only person to ever grab one of my weapons, but" I made the daggers disappear into gold dust "even a master thief cannot steal from my armory"
Mercury lowered his shoe and I just walked away, that was enough for one day. I made sure nobody was following me and made my way back to my friends.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Yang asked as I sat down at the noodle stand with RWBY
Come on, Lucy think of a cover story.
"Oh was just thinking about your awesome fight" I said with a fake smile.
"Aw, thanks. That means alot coming from you" Ruby said bashfully
"You guys have anything planned for the rest of the day?" I asked
"We may check out some more fights" Weiss said.
"Well, let me know how it goes" I said as I got up
"Where are you off to. Got a date?" Yang asked
I think that just killed any chance I had of Yang maybe liking me.
"Oh, you'll see" I said with my model smirk.
I went to the stadium to watch the next couple of fights which had some of RWBY's friends in them. It's the last match in the first round.
"Ladies and gentlemen for the first time in the history of the Vytal festival tournament someone has entered without a team, Team TINT and Lucifer Ambrosine please report to the field. I looked over at RWBY and saw their jaws had dropped, did they really think I'd miss out on a chance to be the center of attention like this. I hopped over the wall between the audience and the stadium, TINT was waiting for me.
"I praise your punctuality"
"Thank you" N said
The stadium changed to half desert and half forest, not that it mattered.
"Team TINT vs Lucifer Ambrosine, begin!" The announcer called
20 hammers appeared from "Heaven's Door!" and flew towards TINT and the hammers knocked them out of the ring.
"Well I must say that is the fastest ring out in the history of the Vytal festival tournament, Lucifer Ambrosine effortlessly and flashily seizes the victory and moves on to the double-er the next round" The announcer that drank way too much coffee called.
I looked over to see Team RWBY cheering for me. I winked at Yang, I guess the adrenaline rush of victory gave me confidence.
"Now beginning with the doubles round. Lucifer Ambrosine vs Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai!"
Hey, nobody told me I got a present today.
So yeah I do have chapters I don't release in case something like my internet goes out for a week or I get writers block or something. Did ya like the chapter? Review?
