Blake Reacts to Music Standoffs: The Rematch, Part 2!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Now that we got the preparation out of the way, let's get this chapter out of the way!

On a serious note, I must ask one thing of my reviewers, I must ask that you do not ask for updates of this story or my other story Lucina Reacts. I am currently in the middle of some very important exams which I must study for in addition to my other real life obligations. I cannot devote much time to writing fanfiction, given that I don't get paid for it. So please, do not pressure me for updates- I have a regular schedule anyway, so please, be patient and I'll try my best to get them out to you all.

Thank you for your consideration.

DISCLAIMER: RWBY does not belong to me, otherwise...I dunno, the whole rant about update pressuring made me forget my disclaimer joke for the day.

K-On! belongs to Kyoto Animation.

All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.


"W-what do you mean by doing it wrong?!" Blake stared at Andreas Arc, shocked. "I-I'm...I don't-"
Andreas crossed his arms, grinning knowingly.

"You're not listening! The true essence of manliness isn't just badassery for badassery's sake!"

"B-but that's what you taught me!" Blake cried, looking genuinely distressed. "Y-you always said-"

"Blake, you know why I have so many fangirls?" Andreas inquired, raising an eyebrow. Blake stopped.

"...because you're always shirtless and you look as manly as possible without having muscles the size of barrels?"
"Well, that's true. Try again."
"...because you're manly?"
"Because I'm the most badass big bro in the whole multiverse!" Andreas declared, pointing to the roof of the hangar heroically, his longcoat suddenly swishing in a sudden dramatic wind. "Being Simon's big bro was the best gig I ever had! Riding giant robots? Manly! Beating up jerks? Badass! Sneaking kisses off Yoko? Who wouldn't want to?

The best thing I ever did wasn't any of that! The best thing I did was make Simon into the manliest man alive!

And I! AM! PROUD! OF! THAT!"

"...b-but..."

"Listen, Blake, you have to remember what the art of being manly's REALLY about!"
"But I-" Blake looked at her hands, unsure of what to do. Andreas closed his eyes, smiling.

"Blake, you've got to snap out of that! You're not you!"

"I...MANLINESS IS ABOUT BEING BADASS!" The catgirl declared angrily. "And not even you can-"

"Not even I can say anything about it? Alright, then it's on!" Andreas roared, clenching his knuckles. "LET ME SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH!"

Suddenly, Andreas leapt towards Blake, aiming for her face. The catgirl, however, was ready, having executed such attacks on many others. She got ready for her own counterattack.

"KYYAAAAAAH!" Blake leapt right back at him, aiming for his face. "YOU WILL BE THE ONE WHO GRITS THOSE TEETH! MY MANLINESS IS STRONGER THAN YOURS!"

The pair flew into a flurry of punching and dodging each other's punches, their Aura flaring green with power as they attempted to show their superiority.

"COME ON!" Blake roared, taunting him. "SHOW! ME! YOUR MANLINESS!"
"Hell YEAH!" Andreas clapped. "Now THIS is a fight! BRING IT!" He swept out of Blake's reach, motioning her to come forward and hit him.

The catgirl gritted her teeth and leapt at him, aiming for his face with her fist. She had, however, failed to account for something else.

Unlike his previous incarnation, Andreas had the advantage of years of Hunting experience, the power of Aura and Spiral Energy combined...and the same education as Cinder in hand to hand combat, making him as equally a deadly combatant in battle as Blake was.

With unparalleled speed, Blake could only watch as Andreas grabbed her fist in mid-air and delivered a sideward blow to her face with his other hand, sending her flying to the side. The catgirl was in shock, sliding over to the foot of the Gurren Lagann.

"W-what-"

"Blake, you can't beat the champ." The heroic man pumped his chest with his fist. "I've been doing this for longer than you've been alive!"

Strolling over, he offered her a hand up. "You alright?"

Blake grunted and took it, pulling herself up. "...ow..."

"Come on, come on." Andreas laughed. "You put up a good fight. Now, do you see what I mean?

Manliness isn't going to get you anywhere if all you're using it for is crushing your enemies! You've got to have the best intentions behind it! You've got to want to protect people! Help your friends! Or better yet, defending what you truly love!"
"...I suppose..." The catgirl sighed, rubbing her cheek. "...I suppose you're right. I've been concentrating too much on beating the moeblobs that...I forgot what real manliness was.

Thanks...Kamina-sensei. I needed that punch in the face."

"Don't mention it. Manliness isn't just for beating moe things." The man chuckled. "Try to remember that being badass is well and good...but you have to use it for the right causes!

Because...A REAL MAN FIGHTS FOR A CAUSE WORTH DYING FOR!" He pointed to the sky once more, before popping on his signature triangle shades.

"BECAUSE THAT'S HOW TEAM GURREN ROLLS! And...THAT'S HOW TEAM RWBY ROLLS!"
"DAMN STRAIGHT!" Blake pumped her fists, psyched up. "Let's do this!

I'd better get ready for that match against Hokaugo Tea-Time. See you around, okay?"
"I'd watch you guys, but...Alex and I have got a drinking match to be at." Andreas laughed, before fixing his longcoat and strolling out. "See you around, Blake."

He walked out of the hangar, heading back to the surface. Blake was too in awe to realise that Andreas had never told her something.

Namely, how he knew when she was going up against Hokaugo Tea-Time.

...

As he strolled out, Andreas didn't even bother looking to his left.

"Good call, Weiss." He called over to the heiress, who looked up at him from a bench. "Any longer and she would've gone mad from manliness overload."
"I was planning to call you earlier, but I never had the time." Weiss admitted. "Thanks, Mister Arc."
"Don't mention it." Andreas smiled. "You have a good day-"

"Wait."

The man stopped, looking over at her.

"...if you're such a badass...then why...why isn't Jaune?" Weiss inquired. Andreas' smile widened.

"You think my son's not a badass? He's a little late in blooming." The man admitted fondly. "Trust me.

It'll be soon that he proves himself to be one of the manliest men in all of Vale- no, the continent! You just wait..."

With that, he walked off, leaving Weiss confused. She facepalmed.

"...even the man who Blake claims is Kamina acts like a cryptic seer." The heiress muttered. "I'm done."


Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Mugi sighed happily, leaning back on a bench in the corridors. She was taking in the surroundings of the school, and after Ritsu had literally collapsed onto one of the dorm beds after finding out how soft they were, band practice had been practically called off.

Not that it was likely that they'd properly ever do band practice, given that they were, after all, slackers at heart.

"So this is what it feels like, going to a school with dorms." Mugi noted fondly. "I wonder what it would be like to fight monsters on a daily basis.

It must be cool."

The heiress slipped a biscuit into her mouth from her pocket, looking over to see Azusa leaning near a vending machine. Mugi felt a chill run down her spine.

'Oh my.' The heiress giggled, realising what was about to happen and taking out her phone. 'This will please Mugi very much...'

Azusa sighed as she inserted a Lien card into the vending machine and pulled out a bottle of People Like Grapes soda- of course, it was Raspberry Grape flavour- popping the cap off of it.

"People Like Grapes..." Azusa noted. "...what kind of name is that?"

"Azunyaaaaan!"

"Wah!" The younger girl was suddenly beset upon by a wild Yui out of nowhere, nuzzling her cheeks. "Azunyan! How could you just abandon me like that in our dorm?" Yui pouted, hugging her younger partner tightly. "You left poor Yui all alone!"
"Kyaaaah!" Azusa struggled hard, blushing. "Y-you're so embarrassing, Y-Yui-sempai..."

Mugi giggled, snapping pictures of the spectacle to place in her 'YuiXAzusa' album, right between her 'Ritsu/Mio' album and 'Mio's Cute Terror' album.

'Such affectionate love...' The heiress sighed happily. '...if only I could feel such love from someone...'

Giggling, Mugi vacated the scene, her forbidden bounty acquired.

And just as suddenly as Yui appeared from nowhere, Mugi was suddenly yanked aside into a corner with a squeal.


That night...

Team RWBY was gathered in a circle, brainstorming music. Weiss was leading the discussion as Blake had mysteriously disappeared off somewhere, claiming she had to find something out or something.

"And this is why Rammstein is the best choice!" Weiss declared, tapping a pointer onto a board demonstrating the various lyrics and albums of that band. "Huh? Huh? Is singing Engel or Du Hast not the best idea?!"

Ruby frowned, rubbing her chin. "Come on, Weiss. There's better songs than that...and besides, you're the only one who can sing those.

What if you get ill or something?"

Yang nodded in assent. "Yeah, she's got a point. How about we go for something like Muse? Oh! Oh!

What about Black Sabbath?"
"One Ok Rock?" Ruby chirped happily. "Come on, that has GOT to beat Hokuago Tea-Time! They're awesome!"

"I still say Rammstein's the best." Weiss declared proudly.

Suddenly, however, all of them were silenced by Blake kicking the door open, her Team Antic cape billowing as if a dramatic wind was blowing and triangle shades sparkling. She was posing heroically, a smug smirk on her face.

"You people are about to get your minds blown!" The catgirl announced dramatically. She turned to Weiss, pointing at her.

"You! What's your idea?"

"Rammstei-"
"Crappy! Yang, yours!"

The heiress muttered, before deferring to Yang, who rubbed her chin. "...Black Sabb-"
"No! Ruby?"

"One Ok-"
"Awesome, but no!" Blake pumped her fist. "Think about it for a second! I've been looking around all day for something to counter Hokaugo Tea-Time.

I realised what they were doing.

They were being themselves."
"Huh?" Ruby tilted her head, confused. "I'm confused."

"I mean they're playing their own theme music! Think about it!" The catgirl snapped, turning to Yang. "You've watched the anime K-On, right?"

"Yeah." The brawler nodded. "Why?"
"Fuwa Fuwa Time, Listen- heck, even Tokimeki Sugar was from the poem Mio wrote in that one episode- they're all K-On! themes." Blake explained. "And that's why they're beating us. They're using their own crowning music of awesome.

So we need to use our own."

"...our own soundtrack?" Yang raised her eyebrow, intrigued. "I must admit, that's...a fairly novel idea."

Ruby snapped her fingers. "Oh, like that one guy who does covers! I don't remember what his name was...was it...Little V something...gah!" The reaper sighed in frustration. "I know he did an awesome cover of that one song from the beginning!"

"Time to Say Goodbye?"

Ruby snapped her fingers as Yang answered. "Yes, that! That one! I loved his cover of that!"
"I've got a set-list." Blake took out four booklets from her pocket, handing three to each of her teammates. "These ones are specifically picked to counter the best ones Hokuago Tea-Time will likely come up with.

I'm not just doing this to beat the moe anymore. I'm doing this because...because I've got to prove myself now!

Too long, I've focused on nothing but manliness, but I've got a new resolution. I'm going to do things for the love of it, not because they're manly. You got that?"

Yang clapped, looking amazed. "Wow. You changed rather quickly, didn't you? What gives?"
"I had a fight." Blake replied without missing a beat. "Now, guys, we've got to practice.

We want to beat Hokuago Tea-Time, do we not?"

Ruby's eyes lit up.

"Does that mean I get to lounge around and eat cake like Yui?!"
"No! We're going to practice so we can beat them!" The catgirl declared. "We can't be slacking around and eating cake!"
The reaper's spirits sank. "Whyyyy?!"
Weiss facepalmed. "Ruby, you realise that they're professional musicians and we're...not-so-professional monster hunters, right? We need every edge we can get to beat them."

The reaper crossed her arms, pouting.

"Just not fair..."
Weiss twitched at how suddenly cute her girlfriend was being, but shook the urge to hug her away.

Blake cracked her knuckles. "We're going at this full blast! Starting tomorrow, we're training!

We're going to beat them not with manliness, but with our skill and our friendship!" The catgirl declared proudly, before she snickered at her last comment.

"Okay, not that last one, but you know what I mean! After all..."

She placed her fist on her chest, pumping it proudly. Weiss groaned, knowing what was coming.

"Oh, brother-"
"WE! ARE! TEAM! RWBY!

We shall shine brighter than the brightest sun, and withstand the harshest storms!" Blake declared heroically. "AND NO OBSTACLE WILL EVER STOP US!"
Yang was even more amazed.

"Woooow. You just came up with a whole new motto within five seconds. I'm amazed."

Blake blushed slightly. "Y-you're just saying that, Yang. Q-quit it.

Anyway, our adventure starts tomorrow!"


Meanwhile, on the other side of the school...

Ritsu placed her hand in front of the rest of her friends. "Come on, who's with me? We'll show that Blake girl how Hokuago Tea-Time does things!"
Mio blinked. "Ritsu, you just did that out of nowhere. What did you think was going to happen?"
"G-gah!" The drummer pouted. "Quit being such a killjoy, Mio!"

Yui giggled, clutching the supply of cakes she'd gotten from her fans at Beacon.

"Heehee...people love us!" The frontman giggled ecstatically. "I think I'm in cake heaven..."

Azusa sighed. "Yui-sempai, if you eat too much cake, you'll make yourself sick. Save them for the rest of the week."

"B-but...I want them now..." Yui pouted, pleading to eat them. Ritsu pinched the bridge of her nose.

"So spoiled..."

Mugi walked in, smiling at everyone.

"Good evening, everyone!"

"Mugi-chaaaan!" Yui waved at her happily. "You're back!"
Ritsu looked at her suspiciously. "Where did you go? You said you'd be back in a bit about three hours ago!"

"I was just talking to a student and I must've gotten carried away! Ahaha..." The heiress chuckled. "...so, do we know what we're playing on Friday?"

Mio pulled out a setlist. "Here. I drew five songs up for us to play. I mixed it up between our whole library for some variety."

"Interesting." Mugi rubbed her chin, examining the setlist. "Yui, what do you think of this?"
"I think they're all good!" The affectionate girl responded, already chowing down on two cupcakes topped with cream and strawberries.

Ritsu lay back in her bed, sighing. "Y'know, I'm beat. Can we just go to bed now? We can start practicing tomorrow."
"...point taken." Mugi nodded. "Alright, everyone get ready for bed. We'll talk in the morning."

Azusa raised her hand. "Can Yui sleep on the couch today?"

"Why not a bunk?" Mio inquired.

"I think she'll try to sneak into my bed when I'm asleep..." The girl shivered at the thought.

Mugi snickered. "Is that so?"

Azusa blushed profusely. "I-It's not funny! S-she hugs like a vice!"
Needless to say, the other three girls- excluding Yui- broke out into laughter.

And so the first night of many began, as both bands began their preparations to face each other.


One week later, in Beacon Assembly Hall...

The hall was packed to the sides with students who had heard the news of the rematch between Hokuago Tea-Time and Team RWBY. Everyone had come out to see the spectacle of both bands going up head-to-head against each other- there were even some people hailing from the city just to see it.

Blake peered out from behind the curtain as they finished setting up the instruments.

"Woooow...that's a huge crowd." The catgirl noted. "...maaaan."

Mugi clapped happily. "That's great! We'll be able to show everyone our skill, huh?"

"...don't think this is over yet, Kotobuki." Blake declared hot-bloodedly. "Just because I'm not after your moe anymore doesn't mean I will NOT enjoy being your opponent!"

The calm heiress giggled. "I see how it is. I will enjoy being your opponent too."
"...heh. Touché, Kotobuki. Touché."

"H-hey...guys..."
Mio stumbled out from behind the stage, wearing a maid outfit. She was blushing heavily, looking horrified at what she was wearing.

"...t-this was...R-Ritsu's idea..." The bassist squeaked out, as her partner giggled behind her.

Blake stared at her, taking in her figure.

"...what...the..." The catgirl uttered, blushing herself at the girl. She really did look attractive-

"KYAAAAAAH!"

"What-" Blake was suddenly interrupted by Yui glomping her hard, nuzzling her cheeks into her.

"You're so cute! You're a cat girl like Azunyan!"
"G-gah!" The catgirl struggled in her grasp. "W-what does this girl eat?!"

Mugi chuckled. "That means she likes you."

"I-It feels...like the life is being...squeezed out of me..." Blake choked out as Yui relinquished her. She gasped for breath. Yang helped her up.

"Wow. Your manliness did NOT help you any..."
"...s-shut it, Yang."

Cinder poked her head in. "You guys better get ready. This is it."

Blake nodded quickly. "Alright. Well.

May the best band win."

Ritsu cracked her knuckles, giving them a determined glare. "Yeah! And the loser has to buy us all cakes!"

Mio squeaked. "C-can I...take this off now?"
"...no." Ritsu grinned cheekily.

"We have to win!" Yui gasped in shock. "WE HAVE TO WIN!"

Yang smirked mischievously. "Cake sounds nice. I'll look forward to it, Ritsu."

Blake nodded, returning the glare.

"We'll see about that."

...

"Ladies and gents!" Cinder announced. "May I introduce to you...the second MusicFest this year? No judges- unfortunately, our esteemed judges from last year couldn't make an appearance."

"Sawachan abandoned us here..." Yui mumbled sadly as she took her place, slipping on her beloved Gitah and patting it for good luck.

She looked over to see Blake staring right back, Fuckslayer glowing with an ominous sheen in the darkness behind the curtain.

"...however, this means it'll all be up to you to decide which band is better! Will it be our home team, the one and only Team RWBY?

Or will it be the reigning defenders, the girls right out of Sakuragaoka High School, Hokuago Tea-Time? Let's find out!

Girls, open the curtains!"

The pyromancer stepped out of the way as the curtains lifted, revealing the girls on each side, ready and raring to go.

"Without further ado, since I know you don't want to hear my babbling...

Hokuago Tea-Time, with their first song, Go!Go!Maniac!"

Yui looked over to her bandmates.

"Let's give this all we have! For the cakes!"

Weiss grumbled at Blake.

"If we lose, I'm not buying that girl cake." The heiress remarked. "Have you seen how many she eats?!"

"Come on, let's go!" The frontman of the opposition declared.

And so, Hokuago Tea-Time began their own song. It wasn't long before she began singing.

"Yabai tomeranai tomeranai! Hiru ni yoru ni asa ni singing so loud!"

...

"We have a fabulous BODY, SOUL and LOVE!" Yui belted out as the song ended, leaving it up to her bandmates to finish up for her.

She struck a typical rocker pose, with the sign of the horns in one hand. Ritsu stared at her strangely.
"What are you doing?!"
"I'm being a rock star!"

Regardless, the audience burst into applause, raising their HTT signs over their head and cheering loudly.

"Thank you all so much!" Yui cried over the microphone. "You're all amazing too!"

Cinder approached the mic, clearing her throat. "If you would please?"

"O-oh! Sure!" She backed away, letting the pyromancer take center stage.

Blake cracked her knuckles, turning to her team. "Are you ready to blow them away as hard as those lot did?"
Weiss closed her eyes. "I suppose."

Yang grinned. "You betcha."

"Let's give it all we got!" Ruby declared.

"And without further ado- I love saying that," Cinder chuckled to herself before continuing. "Team RWBY, with Time to Say Goodbye!"

Once again, the audience cheered as the four took center stage.

Weiss inhaled deeply, readying her voice for the song. She looked across the audience, knowing exactly what was coming.

'Well...if Blake wants to give it a go...I may as well.'

Blake and Ruby began playing their parts as Weiss opened her mouth to sing.

"There's a point where it tips, there's a point where it breaks, there's a point where it bends and a point we just can't take...aaanymore..."

...

"How the time seemed to fly!" Weiss belted out over the crowd, which seemed to cheer every verse. "From our carefree lives!

And the solitude and peace we always knew!"

She finished the song with a flourish- almost in sync with Blake's own, and listened to the audience's rapturous applause, taking in the adulation. She could even see some raise the stylized rose that was their team's symbol over their heads.

Ruby cheered. "I think they loved it!"

Blake smirked, folding her arms. "Indeed, indeed they did."

Ritsu, meanwhile, looked concerned.

"Oh crap!" The drummer cried. "They might...actually beat us!"
"Not if we try our best!" Yui put both fists up, clenching them and puffing her cheeks out. "We'll just have to play better than them!"
"You know, doing that doesn't make you look intimidating..." Azusa pointed out. The frontman pouted.

"Meanie..."


And so, the two bands came head to head for the next three songs. Hokuago Tea-Time stole the floor with their renditions of beloved songs 'U & I' and 'Don't say lazy', while RWBY retaliated with 'Gold'- sung by a duet of Yang and Ruby, to boot- and Weiss' powerful performance of 'Mirror Mirror'.

Both sides stalled out with 'Listen!' for Hokuago Tea-Time and 'Caffeine' for team RWBY, leaving them at an impasse and the audience hungering for more.

Cinder clapped as she took the mic once more.

"It seems our two bands are equally matched!" The pyromancer declared. "What pieces will they have up their sleeves this time?

Well...we might as well start off. Hokuago Tea-Time with their most famous piece! Fuwa Fuwa Time!"

Yang blanched.

"Crap." The brawler muttered, concerned. "We can't beat that! We got beaten the last time they pulled that out!"

Blake crossed her arms smugly. "Oh, I think we can. Fuwa Fuwa Time has got nothing on what I've got up my sleeve."

They got started, the beginning chords met with applause and cheering. Yui's expression was one of child-like amazement as she continued playing, before she began to sing.

"Kimi wo miteru to itsumo haaato dokidoki! Yureru omoi wa mashumaro mitai no fuuuwafuwa!

Itsomu ganbaru!" She sang, with Mio repeating it herself. "Kimi no yokogaao!

Zutto mittete mo kizukanai yo ne! Yume no naka nara...

Futari no kyori chijimeraeru no ni naaa!"

...

"Fuwafuwa taimu! Fuwafuwa taimu! Fuwafuwa taaaaimu!" Yui ended the song with a sweeping movement on her guitar, resembling a windmill as her bandmates topped off the song with their own touches.

The audience was enraptured; half the hall was standing up clapping, and the majority of the hall was lifting HTT banners. Yang was even more concerned.

"Blake...I hope this works!" The brawler remarked. Blake slipped on her triangle shades, smiling confidently.

"It will."

"And last, and not least!" Cinder declared. "Team RWBY, with This Will Be The Day!"

Blake grinned. "Let's do this!"

Sweeping her hands towards her Core Drill, she plucked it from her neck and slipped it into her fingers, using it as her pick.

'It's time to prove ourselves.'

The familiar chords at the beginning came on, and the audience roared their approval, but it had not begun in earnest yet. Blake was only getting started.

Turning to Weiss, she nodded, and the heiress retreated backstage, knowing she wasn't going to sing this one.

"They see you as small and helpless..." Blake sung. "They see you as just a child!

Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild!"

As she played, she began glowing green with energy, and Fuckslayer red, channeling her Aura and Spiral Power into performing the best she ever had, with her fingers plucking at the chords almost seamlessly.

"This will be the day we've waited for! This will be the day we open up the door!" The catgirl almost roared.

"I don't wanna hear your absolution! Hope you're ready for a revolution!

Welcome to a world of new solutions, welcome to a world of bloody evolution...

In time! Your heart will open minds! A story will be told!

And victory is in a simple soul!"

The audience had already stood up and Blake hadn't even finished half the song. She knew it was over.

...

"In time! Your heart will open minds! A story will be told...that victory is in a simple soul!"

Blake finished off with a final flourish.

The whole hall was standing up and cheering, hailing applause onto the girls. Ruby looked proudly upon them.

"Well, the people have spoken!" Cinder cheered. "Team RWBY wins!"

"We did it!" The reaper cheered. "We...we won!"

Ritsu pouted. "Oh come on!

...though...I guess you guys played well, so you deserve it."

Mugi merely clapped. "Good show."

Yui ran over to hug Blake tightly.

"Now to give the winner her prize!"

Quickly thinking, Blake left an illusion of herself in the frontman's path and slipped away, leaving her to hug nothing.

"Wah!" Yui cried out. "Noooo!"

Weiss sighed, tired but triumphant as the audience rained adulation upon them.

"...heh." The heiress closed her eyes. "I guess we can win once in a while."

"Good go." Blake congratulated her opponents, extending her hand to Ritsu.

The drummer shook it firmly.

"You too. Let's do that again some other time."

"Damn straight." Blake grinned. "Then I can own you again."
"Nuh-uh! We'll beat you next time!"

And so ended another afternoon in Beacon. Blake had reclaimed her manliness and her beloved throne, and team RWBY had earned new friends.

All was well in Beacon. At least, until the next day.


END

A/N: Woo, that took too long! Next chapter, Remnant's Reclaimer, thanks to Hysterical Clerical Hijinks! That was tense and HAVE A STINGER


Later that night...

Ren and Nora swung a burning pot of maple syrup over a hooded person, who was kneeling before them. Nora bore a medallion with the Antic Order's logo stamped upon it, as Ren finished the holy rite he was executing.

"And so...by the power vested in me by the powers of Zelretch, Suzumiya and Okazaki..." The gunslinger pronounced. "I...Lie Ren, of Clan Lie, welcome thee into the Antic Order, and give thee permission to carry on our mission throughout the land and multiverse beyond!

Go forth, and strive to commit your antics. That is, after you swear your oath." Ren announced as Nora extended her medallion to the hooded figure.

"Rise, Tsumugi Kotobuki, latest member of the Order."

Mugi cast off the hood, smiling happily as she took on the medallion.

"My, my. This certainly is fun! I'm part of a secret order now!" The heiress giggled. "Does this mean I'll have more things to allow Yui and Azusa to hug more?"

Ren nodded. "You will be presented with your antic kit within two weeks. Free postage and delivery.

Not offered in Vacuo."

Mugi's smile twisted into a mischievous smirk.

"That pleases Mugi." She giggled deviously. Oh, all the wonderful photos she'd be taking from now on...

"Now, the oath?"

"Oh, right!" The heiress snapped her fingers.

"Prepare for trouble, and make it double!

To protect the world from Yandere-festation!

To unite all pranksters under our nation!

To denounce the haters and create more love!

To extend our shipping to the stars above!

I, Tsumugi Kotobuki, swear to carry these aims of the Antic Order wherever I go!"

"Excellent." Ren rubbed his fingers, chuckling. "Absolutely excellent."


So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, comments, suggestions, criticisms, reviews and thoughts, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
