Hiya again everybody! Not much to say...again. ENJOY!


"Hmm," Sierra said to herself, putting a finger on her chin. Hotel sighed, putting his spear away as they stared on the many masked men that they had just beaten up, twisting and turning while groaning in pain. Lima poked one man, who flinched in pain, then took notice of her, quickly crawling away. However, he then ran into something, causing him to turn to meet the predatory gaze of Sierra.

"So," Sierra said, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, "What's going on here?"

"I-," the man stammered, "I don't know!"

"Bullshit," Sierra replied, pulling out a knife.

The man eyes widened in fear, causing Sierra to grin as she continued, "So should I slit your throat or...?"

"I'm serious," the man continued, "I don't know a thing!"

"Humor me then," she continued, bringing the knife to his neck.

"I was just told to do this job," the man claimed, "Work and take off once it's done is what she told me!"

"'She?'"

Sierra raised an eyebrow, now curious.

"Her name is Scarlet Trueblood," the man stated, "She was the one who gave me the order! She's on her way to the school campus right now!"

"Scarlet…," Sierra repeated, furrowing her brow. She ran the name through her mind, suddenly widening her eyes in fear as she threw the man back to the ground and said, "WE NEED TO GET MOVING!"


I sighed, sitting on the ground as Ruby, who had changed from her gown to her usual clothing, rubbed my back. Did I enjoy her back rubs? Of course. Given what I had just gone through, I really needed something like this.

"Delta!"

I looked up, seeing the rest of my team running up to me. I waved as they stopped in front of me, Sierra leaning down and checking me over. Lima did the same as I said, "I'm fine."

"Sorry," Hotel then stated, walking up, "We ran into…'company.'"

"I thought something like that happened," I replied as I stood up, pulling Ruby up with me. I then looked at the many men who were running back and forth between the damaged school grounds as Sierra pulled out one of my swords, catching me by surprise. I almost felt violated having one of my swords taken from me like that as she looked the blade up and down, then re-sheathed it.

"Hmm…," Sierra mumbled, then said something I couldn't quite hear. I blinked in confusion as Lima's ear perked in curiosity. I could then hear Sierra cuss under her breath as my mom's voice asked, "Are you okay, son?"

"I'm fine," I replied, turning to face her, "But…."

I then turned to Sierra, who seemed rather distraught about something. I couldn't help but feel worried about her as she turned to Lima and mumbled something to her. Lima's ear perked up in surprise, as well as denial as she said, "You can't…!"

"Sorry Lima," Sierra replied, "But I have to."

What?

I opened my mouth to ask Sierra what she meant, only to see her disappear.


Sierra walked back over to the docks that they had been infiltrating just hours earlier, going back in forth in the suspiciously empty port. She glanced left, then right, feeling something off as she continued making her way to where she, Lima, and Hotel had just fought the miniature army, only to find it empty. Narrowing her gaze, she glanced over to where she had thrown the man she interrogated, seeing the imprint he had left still in place.

"…What the fuck…?"

"You always have been predictable."

Sierra widened her eyes in surprise, then turned around to see crimson colored hair. She kept he eyes on the woman, whose crimson eyes stared right back at her own azure eyes. Sierra narrowed her gaze again as the woman circled her and said, "Your teammate was a fun fight, little sister."

"Shut up," Sierra snapped back, "Don't call me your sister, Scarlet!"

"Ouch," the woman replied, taking her mask off, "That hurt, sis."

"Fuck you," Sierra spat, staring back at a face identical to her own, but with crimson hair and eyes instead of silver and azure. The woman, Scarlet, smirked at Sierra, tapping the ground with her foot as she asked, "So…you come for a fight?"

"I want to know what you're up to," Sierra hissed, reaching down for her knives.

"Sorry sis," Scarlet replied, "That's confidential."

Sierra finally snapped, charging the woman. With a scream, Sierra went for a kick. Scarlet smirked, finally stomping the foot she was tapping the ground with, raising her other foot. Both shins met, a shockwave flying away from both of them at the force they had both kicked at. Sierra's eyes turned crimson red as she froze time and ran around the woman, surrounding her opponent with knives.

Unfreezing time, Sierra snapped her fingers, gritting her teeth angrily as Scarlet simply smirked, kicking the ground, sending several large pieces of concrete into the air, kicking it around, deflecting the knives before kicking one last one back at Sierra, who caught it, spinning from the momentum, only to see a boot fly for her face. Freezing time again, she narrowly ducked under it, pieces of her bangs getting clipped by the deceptively sharp toes as Sierra dropped to the ground, quickly kick jumping back up as she blocked a kick with her forearm.

"Well," Scarlet stated, "You've gotten better with you Time Square, haven't you?"

"Heh," Sierra said back, "I could say the same about your Blood!"

Sierra froze time yet again, going for another crescent kick, unfreezing time just moments before contact. Scarlet's eyes widened in surprise as Sierra connected with her cheek, sending her flying.

Grinning, Sierra watched as Scarlet got back up, rubbing her cheek as she said, "Not bad…that actually hurt!"

"I'm not a kid anymore, Scarlet," Sierra replied, preparing herself for their next engagement. Suddenly, Sierra felt a searing pain in her left arm, letting out a scream as she doubled over, clutching it as Scarlet said, "But your physical stature isn't going to stop my semblance."

"Bye sis," Scarlet stated, walking up to Sierra, raising her leg in an axe kick motion.

However, a flash of light suddenly flew past Scarlet's face. The woman brought her leg back down, then turned her head to the left, spotting a faunus with wolf ears.

"L-Lima," Sierra breathed out, her eyes widened in shock as she continued, "I told you not to follow me!"

Lima grit her teeth, her ears perked up in anger as she pulled the draw string on her bow again.

"Well well," Scarlet chuckled out, "This is going to be interesting."

"I won't let you," Sierra breathed out, "Touch my team!"

"Now now my dear Sakuya," Scarlet said, turning back to her, "Who said I was going to kill your faunus friend first?"

Scarlet then reeled her leg back, prepared to behead Sierra before another flash flew past her head. Snorting in annoyance, Scarlet then kicked the concrete in front of Sierra, sending it flying to Lima. Lima flinched in surprise, suddenly feeling something whiz past her as Delta let out a shout, cutting the concrete clean in half before throwing his sword at Sierra, teleporting to her, his sword meeting Scarlet's boot with a loud "CLANG."

"Ooh," Scarlet exclaimed, "pretty boy!"

"Hello again," Delta replied, swinging downward at her with his other sword, causing her to back off.

Grinning, Scarlet looked at Delta, then looked back at Sierra.

"Sorry," Scarlet then stated, "As much as I'd like to stay and get to know you, I've got to go."

"You aren't getting away this time!"

Delta charged forward, swords prepared to cut her down.

"Delta STOP!"

Screeching to a stop, Delta turned back to face Sierra as Scarlet jumped away. Lima immediately ran up to her as Sierra groaned, getting back up to her feet, still clutching her arm.

"Sierra?"

"You don't stand a chance against her," Sierra stated, "Not in your current state anyway."

"Bullshit," Delta argued, "I stood toe-to-toe with her when-."

"She was toying with you," Sierra shot back, "She wanted to get you to use your semblance."

"…Sierra…!"

Lima immediately went to Sierra's left arm, carefully touching it. Automatically, Sierra hissed in pain, causing Lima to flinch. Her brow furrowed, Lima's ears folded flat against her head as she looked up at her leader.

"I'm fine, Lima," Sierra said, rubbing her head with her other hand.

"Broken?"

"Yep," Sierra replied as Delta walked up to them, sheathing his swords.

"Dammit" Delta said beneath his breath as a chopper hovered over head.
