(Start)
Class was underway as a sparring match had begun. Arka was in the class as she slashed her way through opponents that was Team JADT showing them how far she had come. Arka blocked some seeds before using her Semblance and caused the seeds to grow and grab a member of the team. Arka then with Red Queen blocked an attack from Jade who was using a dagger that had a spinning revolver at the base that was more meant for style then battle. Arka then revved her weapons handle causing it to heat up just as the dagger before to switch dust as the reaction was a small explosion which Arka jumped away from.
Arka then turned Red Queen into gun mode and began firing at Jade and her teammates keeping them from regrouping as she then turned her weapon back into sword mode while revving the handle. When the blade was heated enough vents open releasing flames to which Arka used to send a fire wave at JADT hitting them all at once and knocking them back.
Arka then slammed her sword onto the ground creating a fire shockwave which knocked back JADT and some out of the ring. That was when the buzzer sounded as Arka smiled and the lights came back on. "Nice work Arka." Ruby said as she looked to her friend's daughter. "You really made a lot of improvement, qualifying for the Vytal tournament should be no problem for you." Ruby said as Arka smiled.
"Thanks ma'am." Arka said as she sheathed her sword.
"Now I know that might be a tough fight to follow but we have time for one more spar." Ruby said as she smiled. "Anyway volunteers?" Ruby asked as she looked around.
No one volunteered because they either already went or couldn't compete with what Arka did. That was when one brave soul or foolish idiot decided to try. "I'll do it." Came the female voice of one Bethany Benihime as she raised her hand.
"Oh Bethany let's find you an opponent." Ruby said as she began to search for an opponent before Bethany looked and spoke.
"Actually if it's not too much trouble I want to fight Arka." Bethany said as she knew that the Empress was watching through her eyes, no doubt to see if Arka really is the Sacred Gate.
Ruby is a little skeptic, as well this seem familiar to her, but could not places it, to Gurren, he just wonder if she wanted to face Arka because she is worn down, or a possibility she may know something, but then again people call him the paranoid person.
As Ruby gave it some thought and said, "Sorry Ms. Benihime, but we cannot let student go a 2nd round after a rough fight, ones like Arka's match, I'll afraid you'll just have to look for another opponent."
"Wait, I can go another round, my aura isn't that low at all," Arka said as it show on the screen her aura was high still even if it drop a little but still in the high green as Ruby looked at her and said, "If you're sure, then I'll approve it for today, but no more."
She and Bethany for an understanding, and soon enough Bethany was on the floor in a fighting stands facing Arka with her Red Queen ready for more action.
As Ruby gave the sigh for the fight to start, she vanish with her semblance leaving a trail of rose petals that seem to have changed over the years to the look of them.
Bethany made the first move, as she ran up shift her footing and send a wide kick at Arka who block it with her huge sword and counter it by swing her sword around as Bethany back flip away, soon Arka ran up to her using her footing to sweep under Bethany as she came to her feet, making her fall on her back.
Bethany recover quickly as she can as she got up and back leap back to the movement almost she was gliding in the air for a moment, to watch Gurren to see of Arka opponent to what he saw as it seem Bethany was moving slow that he could keep up with his eyes and Arka with movement, but the foot dancer seem to be keep it tough and easy to dodge or block.
Bethany then pulled out her weapon of choice as it looked like a shot gun with a blade attached to which Bethany fired a Dust Shot. Arka back pedaled away from it and fired a shot from Red Queen at the shot gun blast knocking it away. Bethany then charged forward while her shot gun turned into a long sword and the two began to clash in blades.
Bethany did a spin while Arka leaned back avoiding the attack before slashing at Bethany. Bethany jumped back before she charged forward and did a double kick to Arka but the Champions daughter blocked it with Red Queen before pushing Bethany back. Bethany looked as she was impressed as she saw Arka had so much untapped potential it was a wonder how she lost her first tournament.
Arka then began to fire at Bethany but the girl was able to dodge the shots with ease as she show kept the Emperors Voice on her toes. Kite watched the fight from the stands and smirked seeing how he and his team were perfect for this assignment from the Empress. He knew Bethany was holding back because she needed to be sure Arka truly was the Sacred Gate. Bethany then smirked before she decided to cut loose a bit but before she could she felt something stop her.
'No My Voice that is enough I have what I need.' Salem's Voice came over Bethany's mind as Bethany then jumped back to the edge of the stage and stood up.
Arka then charged at Bethany who then turned to Ruby. "I forfeit." Bethany said as Arka was shocked as she ran passed Bethany nearly tripping
"You aren't going to try anymore?" Arka said as Bethany shrugged.
"A good Huntsman knows when a hunt is beyond his and is teams current capabilities and a tactical retreat is more idea." Bethany said as Ruby sighed.
"Well then that makes Arka the winner... again." Ruby said before turning to Bethany. "Now then Bethany next time you might want to better judge an opponent before deciding to battle him or her." Ruby said as Bethany shrugged.
"Will do." Bethany said before the signal bell rang showing this class was done for today.
"Ok everyone remember the dance is this weekend but the day after you all have your first mission so please try and have fun it's not every day you get to go to a dance." Ruby said as everyone left.
Team GARO left the room as they began making their way to their dorm as soon Team KIBA came out as Kite looked to his teammate. "Is she the one?" Kite asked jumping straight to the point.
"I think so we'll have to wait for the Empress to make the final decision." Bethany said as Isis smiled.
"Well then let's head to our dorm we have a fun weekend planned." Isis said as Team KIBA could agree on that.
(Later study hall)
The students of new Beacon were studying as Omiko saw the guys were tripping over their own words while the girls blushed at the guys asking them out. "So Bro you going to the dance?" Anya asked Gurren as he did his homework.
"Not planning on it just wanted to stay home and study, besides dances aren't really my thing." Gurren said as he did his homework.
"Oh come on your just afraid you can't ask a girl out." Rey said as Gurren looked.
"Besides asking a girl to the dance is easy watch." Kuro said doing his rare full sentences before righting a note on a paper and turning it into a ball before throwing it over to a grey haired girl. It hit her in the head as she opened it and saw the note. She looked over to Kuro who began his act. "Would you," He mouthed as he pointed to the girl. "Like to go." He mouthed making a walking movement with his fingers. "To the dance." He continued as he made a dancing movement with his body. "With me?" He mouthed as he pointed at himself.
The girl blushed and smiled before nodding as Rey smirked. "Nice one I got to try that sometime." Rey said as Kuro nodded.
"Well I guess team Garo has to get dates for the dance then." Anya said as she smiled. "And I won't abandon you guys until you get dates." Anya said with a smile before out of nowhere Kite appeared holding a rose before Anya who was caught off guard.
"Hello my red rose would you like to accompany me to the dance on Sunday?" Kite asked as Anya blushed big time as she looked to him.
"Um Of course." Anya said as Kite then took the rose and made it vanish before it reappeared in his other hand without the thorns before he put said rose in her hair. Kite then left as he walked away calm and collective as Anya looked to her friends. "Later bozos." Anya said before she began following Kite.
"Traitor." Zaruba said as Gurren looked and couldn't help but agree with his partner's statement.
"I think I should introduce to this Kite fellow the 100 rules of dating my sister." Gurren said as Rey looked surprised.
"Wait 100 rules where did you find the time to make it?" Rey asked as Kite looked.
"When our Aunt Yang took us to the club as a graduation celebration." Gurren said as Rey sighed.
"Well we need to get dates by tonight or else we will be hounded by fangirls." Rey said as Gurren nodded.
"Agreed." Gurren said as he was only going so he can keep an eye on Kite and his sister.
(Scene Break Atlas)
Qrow who had aged about 20 years was walking through Atlas as he drank from his flask. It was a good thing his old ally wasn't here to stop him otherwise he wouldn't be drunk enough to deal with this crap. As Qrow walked he was making his way torts one of the ships as from what the orders said two people will accompany him as Huntsman to check out the facility that was once Makai affiliated.
Upon reaching the ship someone spoken as they say, "Is it a little early to be drinking at this time of day, Qrow?" saying his name in an almost growling tone, as he turn his head to his right as he sees a familiar white hair rapier woman who looked well for her age than the Makai knight as he repel, "Hey, ice queen."
"Qrow," Winter said as she walks up to him as he looks around and said, "If I had to guess, you you're here then, our 3rd person would have be that kid. So tell me where the ice princess?" taking another swig of his flask before he let off and whip his mouth and burps.
Winter had a look in her eyes as she was already annoyed by this man already and said, "She more grown up than you are, and she preparing herself no doubted she wanted to get away from this place, fast as she can."
Clicking footsteps were heard as both of them turns their head down the halls as they sees Weiss within her new combat dress and her rapier weapon at her side with a bag hanging on her side as she came up to the duo and spoken, "Sorry I ran late winter, I had to bring a few more items in case of an emergency… and I see you will be coming along as well you old drunk."
Qrow just ignore her as he took a drink from his flask before putting it away and said, "Now that we are all present, let's get this show on the road." Headed off to the ship as the sister look to him and Weiss said, "How did you two ever spend a night together again?" soon received a hit to her head as Winter said, "It's not proper to talk about my personal life, you boob. Let's get this done fast, now." Winter walks off leaving Weiss by herself for the moment.
Weiss rub her head where her sister hit her and said," Why does she keep hitting me, I'm not a child anymore, not for a long time." She went and follow her sister as both sisters got on and the ship was soon lifted off, as the guys on the ground gave the 'Green' to go, as the air ship flew off into the skies.
(In the ship)
Weiss looked over the data and from what she gathered the place was shut down ever since the war. It was confusing sense the place was there destination. "So what's do we know about this joint?" Qrow asked as Winter looked.
"It used to be an Atlas weapons factory to build and test new weapons. It was shut down after the war and has been sitting there gathering dust, recently it was reactivated and we were sent to investigate." Winter said as Qrow looked.
"Kind of over kill sending a soon to be General to this place." Qrow said as he took his flask and took a swing.
"Consider this similar to a last hunt sense once Ironwood is fully into his rank I'll take over as headmistress of Atlas Academy." Winter said as Weiss heard.
"So what's should we expect, thugs, criminals, or terrorists?" Weiss asked as Qrow looked.
"Not sure things are sketchy at best, one wrong move and we'll be at the business end of a gun." Qrow said as the ship flew.
"We should proceed with caution." Winter said as the ship flew. As they flew Winter looked to her younger sister before deciding to speak. "So Rey a Huntsman, like mother like son." Winter said as Weiss knew the real reason why Rey was at Beacon.
"I suppose but he takes more after his father." Weiss said as she tried not to give away the fact her son is a Knight.
"Well hopefully he can master the summoning Glyph soon, people expect big things from him." Winter said as Weiss nodded.
Luckily the fortress wasn't far from the Kingdom so they can get there no problem as long as no Grimm attack from above.
(Later at the base)
The airship landed as so far they were met with no resistance which is a good thing so far. As they disembarked Qrow looked around as he saw the place was definitely operating but was a Horror behind this?
'Orva.' Qrow said through the mental link as Orva sensed.
'Not Horror but I do sense a whole lot of Madou Tool metal.' Orva replied through the mental link as Qrow looked.
"Well I guess the only way we're going to figure out what's going on is by entering." Weiss said as Winter had to agree. The trio then entered the base as the hall seemed to be lit by bright lights given perfect vision before an Atlas machine appeared and looked at them.
"Welcome the Doctor has been expecting you three." The robot said as Qrow looked.
"We're expected?" Qrow asked as the robot nodded.
"You more than the lady's sir." The robot said as Qrow wasn't expecting that. "Please follow me, the doctor wishes to see you three." The robot said as Winter looked.
"Could be a trap." Winter said as Qrow was always unpredictable especially when drunk out of his mind.
"Then let's spring it." Qrow said before he began following the robot.
(Later)
The trio arrived at a meeting room as inside was an old scientist as he had a beard and lots of white hair. As he looked to them he recognized Qrow as a Makai Knight as he looked to them. "I'm glad you arrived especially during these dire times." The old man said as he was the one who created Penny, Doctor Polendina.
"Yeah dire times especially with those Umbra guys popping up in Remnant." Qrow said as he heard the rumors.
"Yes, yes, of course, please take a seat," The old man said as 3 chairs came forth for the trio, as they each take a seat as the old man begin to say, "I'm glad you came than just soldiers of the Atlas armies, bloody fools would only claim this place that they abandon."
Winter look to the old man and said, "What do you mean? This building is under Atlas military property as too-
"Don't start that, the old man is the host and were guest here, and beside this place was shut down because there no need for it and you guy disown it," Qrow said as he took out his flask and took a drink from it as the old man said, "Quite right, and also I was giving the deed to this place, so military power of rule and regulations does not apply here." Giving more proof as he show it to Winter.
As Weiss felt the tension in the air as she acted fast and said, "Sir, if you would mind telling… what are you doing here of all places, if you would not mind?"
"Well manner, very well I will show you." He said while picking up a remote and hit a button as the shutters that cover the windows open up showing to the main factory, to Winter and Weiss surprise and Qrows 'WTF' moment look to see a factory of androids, but not the default android within atlas military, but madou androids as each being put together piece by piece as they were tack in and place, but with a missing center piece.
As a line of them came forth each with a blank face at first before they pass through a gate of sort, as Makai energy enters their bodies the blank face was giving detail to nose mouth eyes and skin tone, but the center was still empty.
To another line was looking like an dust aura core as a huge container of dust of all sort were being mix together before they were transfer by pipes to another to what looks like a turbine that spinning around as the dust enters as the top of it was rainbow color like before they seep down to the machine as they become a soft blue color like the color of the ocean.
With many tubes and pipes leading out if it to the core line, as the ocean like dust energy went into the core as it started to glow a low green color before it was move off to the android line as the machine hand, place the core into the madou android and connect it, before the android came to life as it open its eyes.
A chest piece was place over it and seal it in place and clothing came forth to dress the android. As now the madou android was alive now it came off the line and was place in an area with other complete madou androids that were in a programing area to receive it knowledge and Identity as it read on its shirt '#7567 Rex' as he was place next to another one with the that reads on its shirt '# 2187 Finn'. (References and if you guys don't know then clearly you haven't lived)
Qrow and the two sister didn't know what to say as the old man said, "200,000 madou unit in progress, with a million more in planning."
Winter was visibly shocked. She knew this man was as sane as anyone under her command but this, he had literally built an army right under Atlas noses. "What is the meaning of this and who is this army for, better question who even authorized it!?" Winter demanded as she knew if the other Kingdoms found out about this they can kiss peace goodbye.
"The ones who authorized it was the Senate for the Makai Order as a precautions in a worst case scenario, but the army is for the four Kingdoms and the Makai Order." The doctor said as Weiss looked to this.
"And what is this Makai Order?" Winter glared as by the looks of it the worst case scenario seems to be a war.
"The Makai is you're only shot at defeating the returned Umbra Empire which I might add you're Atlas Military and council is trying to keep under wraps." The Doctor said as Winter cursed as she was aware of what the scouts and the information's section had discovered.
"You're making it sound like a war is coming." Qrow said as the Doctor looked.
"Because a war IS coming. The Umbra they have been making preparations for their return for quiet sometime and have been setting up bases and outposts all over Remnant, the villages that vanish it was because of them." The doctor said as Weiss was shocked at what she saw and heard.
"Your saying these Umbra people they're bad enough to cause the Makai Knights to take part in this war and kill?" Weiss asked as Winter heard.
"And how do you know this Makai Order has Knights and how do you know they don't kill?" Winter asked as she looked to her sister.
"Because... Rey... he's part of that order and so was his father before him." Weiss admitted knowing if this war was going to happen Rey's secret he had entrusted to her will be blown.
"And you didn't bother to inform me, father, or even try and stop him from joining." Winter demanded as she glared. She may not show it but she cared deeply for her Nephew and like the kind caring aunt would get pissed when Weiss would let her son do something that could kill him.
"You think I didn't try and stop Rey! He inherited this from his father and time and time again Rey proved his mettle, so if you're going to lecture me about my parenting style then get a number." Weiss countered as Winter breathed to control her temper.
"We'll talk about this later." Winter said as she knew this Order must exist to deal with a powerful unknown threat.
"Now then like I said this army is more of a worst case scenario precaution in the event the Umbra Empire does instigate a war, this way we'll have a real defense." The Doctor said as Winter looked.
"And how's that?" Winter asked as Qrow looked before the Doctor spoke.
"I gave them souls, I had not only made theme fiercely loyal to the Kingdoms but I also made them capable of free thinking and can even think creatively and had gave each of them their own name, no two are alike. Plus whether or not the war happens or not I will not allow them to be dismantled in a way they have become a race much like the humans and faunas." The doctor said as Winter was shocked as she took notice to some female androids.
"So basically we three are the first to see the genesis of a new sentient race." Winter said as this was incredible.
"Yes, Penny and Mato were the first two. But trust me they are no push overs." The doctor said as Qrow looked.
"Let me guess they not only have combat abilities built into them but are given physical training to make use of it." Qrow said as that was impressive if true.
"Precisely, but even with their abilities they are very limited of how they are, than Penny and Mato as they're the only fully develop of combat armor mode," the old man told them as Weiss had to asked, "For what reason are they limited?"
The old man sighed and rubs the bridge of his nose and said, "For Penny and Mato, were of test and results as it took years to develop each combat armor to their full use, but it took many failures to reach success, for me it took time and patient to do so, but not anymore for what coming, so I make it their combat armor mode to a lesser extent but fully operational to be within combat itself."
Showing many image and recorded testing madou android to show success and some failures as Winter watch as one android punching a Beowolf, and another shooting up a Ursa all while in combat mode and comparing to the average huntress and huntsman, and military soldiers and androids seem to be a little above average all while in normal mode; the combat mode screening showing the same thing, but to almost half time.
Winter could not think of a word that could explain all of this it's like looking at the perfect soldiers as the old man begin to say, "All of my children trying at their best, all I could asking from you for them to be accepted into the world, not as weapons or soldiers… but as people."
"This is probably a long shot and you practically made new life, plus these guys and girls from the looks of it seem like they were born to fight in wars." Qrow said as knew that those trained sense birth to fight in wars are always doomed to keep fighting. In a way these guys are pretty much child Soldiers born to fight and would gladly die like soldiers.
"I took every precautions I can to make sure that they are able to function in society." The Doctor said as Qrow looked around.
"You do realize we're going to have to report this right?" Qrow asked as he looked at the army.
"To your Kingdoms yes, the Senate is already aware of this army so they are expecting my latest report soon." The Doctor said as Qrow nodded to that.
Winter looked and saw that if an army of this size was built then this Umbra Empire was no joke. "I have a question, how long before the Umbra Empire makes itself known?" Winter asked as the Doctor looked.
"If I had to guess probably during the Vytal Festival no doubt they want all of Remnant to know they have returned." The Doctor said as Winter understood that logic.
"Very well then we should take our leave no doubt the Atlas council will want to hear this." Weiss said as the Doctor nodded.
"Now then please have a safe trip and be wary of who you trust." The Doctor said as the three nodded and left.
The three nodded and left as they knew this army will change a lot of things in Remnant.
(Meanwhile back at Beacon)
Gurren and Rey were trying to find dates that didn't want to get in there pants as Gurren no doubt had to go cause of his mother and to make sure Kite doesn't try anything. As they walked through the school Gurren sat down as he looked around trying to decide which girl he would go to the dance with. Rey was trying to figure out who to go to the dance with as well as he was half tempted to hold a little contest for the girls who still need a date.
"Well I'm out of ideas." Rey said as they've been at this for days.
"You could ask Anya if she didn't already have a date, or you can ask Omiko who I might remind you probably doesn't like you that way, Zero." Silva said as Gurren looked.
"You're hilarious." Rey said as Silva chuckled.
"I'll be here all week." Silva joked as Rey glared.
"Why not ask Arka Gurren." Zaruba said as Gurren looked at his partner.
"Why say that?" Gurren said as Zaruba looked.
"Well my dense partner you did save Arka's life so no doubt she'll be willing to accept a date." Zaruba said as Rey looked.
"Well I might as well ask Omiko no one probably asked her anyway considering how she can be snappy sometimes." Rey said as Gurren looked.
"I'll go look for Arka." Gurren said as he might as well ask her.
Good luck, you may or may not need it, but who's to say," Rey said as he walks off in search of Omiko.
Gurren went off as well looking for Arka, but even wonder if she is already asked out, to her mother reputation or something to what he knows of.
(Rey)
Waling about with his hand in his pockets, he enter the library in search of his cat Faunus teammate, as he knew she would be here at this time.
Giving a good look around for her as he spotted his teammate near the back area, Rey gave a smile as he walked over to her.
Omiko was catching up on some reading time as she wanted to finish her favorite book before anything, until Rey came around and said, "Hey Omiko."
Lower her book with an annoying look on her face as she look and see Rey sitting next to her with his chair turn her way and legs straight out and a book in his hands as Omiko asked, "What do you want Rey?"
"Nothing much, came here to grab a book, lay back and relax… as well want to ask you something," Rey said as he put the book down and lean forward to Omiko as she said, "What?"
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask you, if you would like to go to the dance with me?" Rey asked as Omiko lifted up her book and said, "And why would I want to go to the dance with you?"
"It's not like someone else would ask, now would there?" Rey said it and Omiko just stop reading, as too put a book mark in her book before closing it up and getting up herself and walk away.
Rey watch her walk away, before getting up himself and went after her and thought to try another way to go about this as he caught up to her.
"Come on I don't have anyone to take either and those who I ask just want to get into my pants." Rey said as Omiko walked.
"Zero shut up your digging your own grave." Silva warned as she remembered this situation with a previous partner.
Omiko stopped before turning around and punching Rey in the stomach knocking him down as she glared. "I'm not anyone's last resort, and for your information someone did ask me out." She then before kicking Rey down while he was caught off guard. She then put her foot on his chest to keep him down as she glared. "And I said yes." Omiko said before kicking his face and then stormed off.
Rey laid there as Silva then spoke. "Tried to warn you." Silva said as that was a problem Rey inherited from his father. He's a flirt but with the girls who say no Rey ends up saying stupid things that offends them.
"Ow." Rey said as he was in pain.
"You deserved that." Silva said as Rey looked.
"I know!" Rey said as he laid there.
(With Gurren)
Gurren was looking for Arka as she could be in one of three places, on the roof training with Anya, out in the garden tending to plants, or in her dorm room tending to her potted plants. As Gurren walked he wondered how he would approach this, sure he's faced Horrors but for a guy asking the girl you like on a date is a first class ticket to teen fear.
Gurren walked through the halls knowing he had approximately three chances to ask out Arka to the dance. How Rey and Kuro make it look so easy he'll never know but for now he will check the Garden to try and ask out Arka. After all few things can scream romance like a beautiful Garden.
As Gurren walk to Arka's team dorm room using his first chance to do things right, as he took a breath and said, "You can do this… she is your child hood friend, so nothing to worry about."
Gurren took his moment as he took another deep breath and let it out before knocking, and only once before the door swing open fast with a loud voice saying, "Hello!" Gurren lean back and rub his inner ear as he was greeted by Rena.
"Hey Rena, is Arka here by any chance?" Gurren said as he keep rubbing his ear before he stop and Rena answer him saying, "Nope." Before he could ask where she was Rena slam the door on him.
Well there goes one of his chances and he had two more guesses of where Arka could be at right now.
(Scene break)
Gurren went up to the roof area next to look for Arka next, as he walk up the steps and too the roof door, before he stop and again took a moment to take a breath and said, "You have dealt with horror that flirted with you before… nothing to worry about, just do some small talk.
Gurren took his moment before he reach for the door handle and then open the door to the roof and took a step out and to be greeted by the site of professor Slot up on the roof laying on a pillow and watch as the clouds as they go by.
After a moment pass of seeing this, Gurren said, "Professor Slot?"
"Sorry, whoever it is, can you come back at a later time, as right now I'm on break… okay now that looks like raccoon," The professor said as he try to guess the shape of the clouds.
Gurren step back in, and slowly close the door before going back down stairs, to what he saw, he did not understand and now down to his last chance and go to the last place he didn't go looking at yet.
(Scene break again)
The Garden, as this is the last place to look for Arka. As Gurren took a breath as right now this is his last chance to ask her out, as he look at the area before he took just a breath and didn't say a word as he went in.
To most people surprise, nobody expected a schools garden area would be as big as half the size of the lunch room, and it was pretty big for many students to have lunch in.
Looking around for Arka as he hears someone humming, Gurren look through the vegetation and there he saw Arka, using her semblance to control a tree to regrow its broken branch.
Gurren nodded and walk over and hopefully she would say yes of going to the dance with him, as Gurren walked under a low branch tree and called out, "Arka?"
Arka gotten surprise to hear someone call out to her as she turn to person that called her out as she said, "Gurren!"
Without realizing it, she still had her semblance active as when she turn her attention to Gurren, her powers was on the attention to the tree above Gurren as it came to life and grab Gurren by surprise as he said, "What the?!"
Arka was surprise by that as well, and she remember she still have her semblance on, she quickly dismiss it as she ran up to Gurren said, "I'm so sorry Gurren! I was using my semblance, then you surprise me and then all of this…"
"It's okay Arka, calm down. Not the first time I gotten trap by a tree before," Gurren cut off Arka, he said as he remember one of his horror hunt he went on as he was trap by a horror that was a tree, thank goodness Anya was with him on that one.
"I'll get you down then, hold on," Arka said as she use her semblance again trying to get the tree to release, but it seem to be getting worst as the branches tighten around Gurren as he felt them doing so and he said, "Arka, hold on, it's getting tighter."
Arka stop again and panic and trying to figure out to get Gurren out and said, "Think- think- think… oh I can cut you out, oh but I left my Red Queen back in my dorm. Hold on for the moment Gurren, I'll be back soon."
"Arka hold up!" Gurren said but too late Arka was gone and he have blown his last chance.
Zaruba blew fire as Gurren cursed his luck all while Gurren got free. "Gurren welcome to the socially awkward population you and every teenage boy trying to get a date to a school dance." Zaruba said as Gurren sighed.
"Well hopefully Rey had a better chance with Omiko." Gurren said as he began heading to his dorm.
(With Team KIBA)
Kite was keeping in contact with his allies as Icarus, Bethany, and Aphrodite did their own thing. Icarus was meditating, Bethany was going over data, and Aphrodite was reading the latest trends that is sure to catch the attention of many.
"Give me your report I need to know that we are on schedule." Kite said as he looked to his Agent.
"Of course My Lord, so far construction of our base is on schedule but we have reached a major problem, Oka and your apprentice have already began capturing and locking up any Grimm or Horrors but it seems our explosion team has hit a snag with the wall leading to Vale is to unstable to use explosive methods the slightest of wrong moves can end in disaster." A one said as she looked to Kite.
"What do you propose then?" Kite asked as he looked to AOL.
"I suggest we create a path big enough to send our troops through, it might push back our plans but it is the only way to ensure that we don't lose large numbers of workers and troops." A one said as Kite nodded.
"Then make it so, I expect your next report soon." Kite said as the Agent nodded.
"Very well my lord." A one said before the communication was cut.
Kite then turned to his allies. "Well Wrath seems we hit a few more bumps." Aphrodite said as Kite smirked.
"Nothing is perfect, but tell me Bethany are you sure Arka is the Sacred Gate?" Kite asked as Bethany nodded.
"Yes the Empress had saw it through my eyes." Bethany said as Kite smirked.
"Good." Kite said as he went to his bed.
"I don't get why you are going to the dance with Yaiba's holder one wrong move and she'll be on to us especially with that Semblance of hers." Aphrodite said as Icarus then spoke.
"Heart easiest to corrupt but also fragile to handle." Icarus said as Kite smirked. "The Silver Eyed Warriors will begin there fall to darkness through the scorching heat." Icarus said as Kite smirked as Aphrodite got it.
"Oh I get it turn one and the other is sure to follow, you don't see her like that." Aphrodite said as Kite smiled.
"Yes after all I only have one love in my life, but it doesn't say I can be open to more, after all the legacy of Kiba must continue." Kite said as they all smirked. They all saw the young man loved Oka but if Kiba's bloodline were to gain the power of the Silver Eyed Clan not even Garo could stop him.
"Now then we have an eventful weekend ahead of us so let us go prepare." Kite said as he looked at his mask the very mask that made the former rebel group submit to him after he defeated there leader. The very same mask he had worn against Garo and his allies.
(Scene Break)
Rey and Gurren were drinking a can of Cream Soda while Yang, Ruby, and Team GRNT (Garnet) were setting up for the dance. Yang was carrying a big amp as she was setting up for the band that was coming over to perform.
Ruby made sure everything went smoothly as even though she lacked Weiss's eye for detail she had experience with setting up much of Gurren and Anya's past birthdays. As Gurren took a swing Rey looked to him before speaking.
"You to?" Rey asked as Gurren looked.
"I got caught in branches and vibes, what about you?" Gurren asked as Rey looked.
"I got an ass whopping for saying stupid stuff and Omiko made some excuse that she already had a date." Rey said as then took a swing of his soda.
"You know you two instead of moping around there you could lend a hand." Ruby said as they two ignored her.
"Hey Ruby don't sweat it, I'd be depressed to if I screwed up asking someone out." Yang said being the cool Aunt she was let them get a lot of leeway with her.
That was when Onyx and Xeo walked in as they looked to the two. "Wow what happened to you two?" He asked as Gurren looked.
"Date asking gone wrong." Gurren said as Xeo looked.
"Ouch." Xeo said as he looked.
"At least you don't have to go with Onyx tux hunting because you don't know what a silent girl likes." Xeo said as Onyx looked.
"Dude you may be from Vacuo but you have to look good at these things." Onyx said as Xeo looked.
"Hey I go for the old natural look." Xeo said as Onyx sighed.
"Well its official everyone but us has a date." Rey said as Onyx looked.
"Don't worry man it happens to most of us." Onyx said as Gurren drank the last of his cream soda.
That was when the door opened and from it a familiar spear wielding white and red Madou Robes wearing Knight appeared. Accompanying him was a young boy wearing the training garb of Berets family with his eyes and Yang's hair color.
"Beret I was wondering when you and little Blaze would show up." Yang said to her husband.
"Yeah well I had to pick up Blaze from his group sense he seemed to have inherited your knack for mischief." Beret said as Yang smiled innocently.
"Yeah well he also has my strength." Yang said as the minute Yang said that the young 10 year old ran over to the nearest heavy thing which so happened to be the entire stack of amps which he lifted it over his head like nothing.
"He might have found his Semblance already." Ruby said as Yang smiled at her son not minding he could get hurt.
"Who's my strong son?" Yang said scooping up her son and holding the amps with her real arm.
"Mom knock it off." Blaze said sense being ten years old he didn't like being smothered.
"Anyway Yang I needed you to watch him for the night sense I have a Horror Hunt and both Sirius and your father had a mission and with Qrow being all the way in Atlas, better with you sense your helping out here I figured you could watch him." Beret said as Rey noticed the new Madou Earing in his left ear.
"Sure I can do that." Yang said as Beret looked.
"And please don't cause any shenanigans or corrupt him more then you already have." Beret said as Yang smiled.
"I'd never do that." Yang said innocently as Beret was skeptical.
"Beret we best head out to find this Horror." Goruba the Madou Bracelet said as Beret nodded.
"Very well I'll be off." Beret said before leaving. Once he was gone Yang smiled mischievously as Ruby saw this.
"Want to go prank Miss Goodwitch?" Yang asked as Blaze smiled.
"Yeah!" He said as Ruby quickly used crescent rose and shot the ground in front of them.
"After you put down those amps and help set up the other ones." Ruby said as Yang nodded and put them down before beginning with set up.
Ruby smiled once Yang wasn't looking. Ruby took out a peanut butter cookie and gave it to Blaze who smiled took it and began to eat. Reason she didn't give him a chocolate chip one was last time she did everyone found out he had a chocolate allergy and needless to say that was one scary day.
"So what now?" Gurren asked as Rey looked before he got a text from his band mates before going wide eyed.
"Well I don't know about you but I need to go get ready for the dances big event." Rey said before running off.
"Well might as well get your robes ready for the dance, Gurren." Zaruba said as Gurren got up and left to his dorm.
(Later that night)
Gurren was tying up the bowtie around his neck as he looked at himself in the mirror. "Well this sucks." Gurren said as Zaruba chuckled.
"Like those before you, you fall into the same black hole that every Knight falls into when it comes to a girl they like." Zaruba chuckled as Gurren glared.
"Just be quiet Zaruba." Gurren said as he was in the room with Anya and Omiko who were changed into dresses. Omiko was still wearing the power restraint braces as she had her outfit work around it as a part of said outfit. Anya was wearing a red dress sense no doubt Kite was on his way soon.
"Gurren you better not embarrass me in front of my date." Anya said as Gurren looked.
"What I'm just going to talk to him." Gurren said pulling out the rolled up list of do's and don'ts of his sister.
"My, what a good brother you are to your sister." Omiko said as she too waited for her date.
"I thought you didn't have a date." Gurren said as Omiko glared.
"Of course I have a date I wasn't making it up to Rey." Omiko said as Eclipse yawned.
"Well I won't be able to stay behind tonight so I'll try and get as much sleep as I can before we get to the dance." Eclipse said as this was probably her first dance.
That was when a knock was heard as Gurren looked at the girls before Anya saw this. She quickly acted but Gurren was already at the door as he opened it and was met with Xio as he was fiddling with the neck tie. "Hey Gurren, Omiko in?" Xio asked as Gurren looked.
"It's for you Omiko." Gurren said as Omiko pushed Gurren out of the way as she smiled.
"Hey Xio ready to go?" Omiko asked as Xio nodded and thus the two were off.
"Of crud." Anya cursed as she can already see her future with no boy coming near her without with impenetrable wall of Gurren standing in his way. Once Gurren closed the door a knock was heard as Gurren knew for a fact that it was Kite as he opened the door and saw the leader of Team Kiba there in a suit as he smiled at Gurren.
"Hello I hope Anya is ready." Kite said pleasantly as Gurren looked to the boy who would be taking his little sister to her date.
"Hey Kite how about we have a little talk before the dance." Gurren said before Anya came out of nowhere and did a flying kick to Gurren's face.
"Hey Kite what's up lets go now." Anya said before she and Kite were out the door which Kite seemed unfazed by the sudden kick to Gurren's face. Anya though ran out holding her heels in her hand while Kite held the corsage no doubt they had to get away from Gurren.
Gurren was lucky Anya had token off her heels otherwise that would have hurt a lot worse. "Well Gurren I believe you should keep an eye on that Kite and his team, I don't know why but something about them rubs me the wrong way." Zaruba said as he looked to Gurren. "Plus you also need to let Anya make her own decisions she's not the same sweet but shy little girl of your youth anymore she's a Makai Knight now." Zaruba said as Gurren nodded.
"Well ok." Gurren said as he got up and made his way out of the room luckily he was able to walk away from Anya's kick without losing any teeth or getting a bruise.
(Later on the way to the dance)
Rey was getting ready as he was in his madou robes with the added bonus of his bowtie and his mother's charm which was similar to a snowflake which was tied to his belt. Apparently his mother had a suit that she had taken the time to get for him which was custom made and needless to say Rey liked it. As Rey waited he was what looked to be back stage as his bandmates were preparing for the big concert they were able to get. Luckily sense they were going to perform in Vale already for the Vytal festival they can spread their fame to Vale. Rey looked beyond the curtains seeing one of his bandmates set up a camera with Ruby's help no doubt to either stream this to Weiss or get her an early copy of the concert.
"So Rey what's the plan?" a bandmate asked as Rey looked.
"We're going to play the new one first." Rey said as the guys were shocked.
"You sure?" Another asked as Rey nodded.
"Yeah after all it should start things off for us at a Climax." Rey said as everyone could agree on that.
(With Anya and Kite)
The two came through the door as Ruby looked to her daughter and smiled as she saw Anya with her date. "Oh my little girls first date." Ruby gushed as Anya blushed.
"Mom cut it out." Anya said as she was embarrassed that her mother was gushing like that.
Ruby keep her smile, before she look to Kite, inspect him carefully to his looks, how he's dress, and a look in his eyes to her seems dark, but could not tell of anything else.
As Ruby took a breath and said, "And you must be my daughter's date Mr.-
Ruby trail off as Kite said, "Kuroi, Kite Kuroi. It's nice to meet you ma'am." Given a small bow to be polite.
Ruby gave a small smile to him and begin to say, "It's nice to meet you as well. Okay enough the dance, but remember, no grabbing below the waste, or at the chest, no licking, no kissing, and no-" "Mom!" Anya said as she blushed at this.
"It's alright, I know she's going to strict, I'll promise to be a gentleman to her, Ms. Rose," Kite said as smooth as he could as Ruby didn't like the sound of it, there nothing she could do right now unless he did something, and she came around to say, "Okay then, you two enjoy the dance and have a good time doing so."
Kite have a nod as he and Anya both went off to the dance floor as they were playing some soft music to help start the dance off with.
Ruby went on with her job as many other students came in, and soon enough Gurren came through the doors in his best wears for the dance as Ruby saw this, she gave smile, as she remember Sirius wearing something similar to it.
"Didn't get a date Gurren?" Ruby asked as Gurren nodded. "Well someday you will." Ruby said as Gurren nodded and went straight to the punch bowl no doubt to hide.
(With Gurren)
Gurren was hiding at the Punch Bowl as Zaruba chuckled at his partner's misfortune. "Hiding at the punch bowl was that your best plan." Zaruba said as Gurren drank from his cup.
"Don't judge me." Gurren said as he glared at his Madou Ring.
"Just saying Gurren you could try to mingle a bit and make some friends." Zaruba said as Gurren sighed before drinking his punch.
"Not enjoying yourself Gurren?" Came Glynda's voice as Gurren looked shocked.
"Priestess Glynda." Gurren said with respect as Glynda chuckled.
"I had honestly thought you would be with that Arka girl." Glynda said as Gurren looked.
"I've never been well versed in socializing like this." Gurren said as Glynda looked.
"Well that is exactly why events like this exist, through life our bonds with those we cherish will constantly be tested but on nights like this, nights such as this is what makes them stronger than ever." Glynda said as that cheered up Gurren a bit.
That was when he heard the door opened as he looked and saw Icarus and Bethany come in as Ruby smiled at them.
(With Ruby)
"You guys are just in time." Ruby said as Bethany smiled.
"We wouldn't have missed it for the world." Bethany said knowing Icarus doesn't talk. Both of them were dressed in formal wear as they smiled at Ruby.
The night continued as people were laughing and enjoying themselves Gurren watched as Kite and Anya talked and dance together as he glared at them. He was tempted to teleport torts them and split them up by any means he can. Zaruba sighed as Gurren was just like one of his previous partners who had a younger sister, very protective of them.
(With Anya and Kite)
"Man Kite you clearly had practice with dancing." Anya said as Kite smiled.
"Yeah... hey Anya can I ask you something?" Kite asked as Anya smiled.
"Sure." Kite said as Anya looked.
"What's your opinion on Light and Darkness?" Kite asked as Anya looked confused for a moment.
"I'm not sure what you mean." Anya said as Kite looked.
"Just humor me for a minute, people assume that darkness is evil considering the Grimm but I see it as secretive and cunning." Kite said as he looked to Anya. "People assume Light is good but even light is considered evil if used in excess." Kite said as Anya looked.
"I see what you mean, I guess I would have to say I'm more neutral on the subject, after all everyone has light and darkness in them, we need a little of both to be strong." Anya said as Kite smiled.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks so." Kite said sounding like this is the first time he met someone like him. "But let's not focus on such dreary stuff and focus on the night and the dance, rose princess." Kite said treating Anya like a princess causing her to blush and ease closer to Kite.
(With Gurren)
Gurren was angry as he began marching over there to split them up seeing the guy trying to play with his sister's feelings. But soon he saw Arka walk away wearing a red dress similar to her mother's but with Gaia's symbol as well as the Arc family symbol and her mother's symbol on it looking depressed a bit as she walked up the stairs. "Better see what's wrong." Gurren said as he had expected Arka to be with her date.
(Later at the Balcony)
Arka was looking to the night as she seemed depressed. She had hoped at least one person would ask her but it seems she had inherited her mother's luck with men in a way but as the opposite. That was when Gurren walked out as he looked to Arka. "You ok, Ark?" Gurren asked as he looked to his depressed childhood friend.
"Oh Gurren." Arka said looking to him there. "Yeah I'm fine." Arka said as Gurren looked at her dress.
"You have a nice dress." Gurren said as Arka looked.
"Yeah my parents got it for me, mom handled the design but my dad added the Gaia and Arc symbol to it." Arka said as her dress spoke of nature.
"Hope your date doesn't strangle me for that." Gurren joked knowing no one can get that jealous when his date talks to another guy. But even if they did he could handle himself.
"I think you're safe for tonight." Arka said as Gurren smiled to her.
Gurren waited for a bit and said, "So, who the lucky guy?"
Arka waited a bit as she sighed and said, "There is no guy?"
"Hm?" Gurren said as he was surprise by that as Arka went on saying, "No one asked me to the dance."
"But… how, I mean you're a great fighter, lovely, and a great person," Gurren said as Arka looked down in disappointment.
Arka turn to Gurren as she had this sad look to her eyes. "You never heard then about my greatest screw up a few years ago." Arka said as she looked to Gurren. "Sense day 1 people have been trying to put me on the same pedestal as mom, and when I entered combat school I thought I would be the greatest, but at the academic portion I was great and the combat portion I didn't get top marks but I was still capable. A few years of this and people began to wonder if I was really the great Pyrrha Nikos daughter." Arka said as she looked back over the balcony. "So I wanted to prove them I was my mother's daughter and entered the same tournament she entered. Round 1 there I was up against another student I thought this would be easy for me and the field was perfect for my semblance." Arka explained as she remembered how her school life and social life went downhill.
"Fight starts and not even a full five minutes I lost because of a misused semblance and screwed up attack and just like that I'm out of the tournament. Next thing I know people were avoiding me and friends ditched me and most of all I got bullied left and right." Arka said as she was getting teary eyed. "Mom said there would always be other tournaments but the damage was already done no one wants to hang out with the black sheep of Pyrrha Nikos and worst of all they blamed dad for passing to me his as they dubbed faulty genetics and from then until now I was hazed, bullied, and treated like crap by my schoolmates and even some of the teachers." Arka said as she was getting teary eyed trying hard not to break down and releasing years of pent up emotions.
She remembered how the girls back at her old school took her cloths from her locker and practically left her naked in the locker room all night until her parents came by with fresh clothing. Or the time the girls grabbed some of the strong guys and restrained her before cutting her hair to a bad haircut.
"Arka..." Gurren said as he looked to his childhood friend remembering how her bully had called her a black sheep now he knew why.
"I thought at least you would ask me to the dance because you were the kind of guy I wanted to come here with but after that fiasco at the garden the other day I figured you didn't want anything else to do with me." Arka said as she looked to Gurren. Gurren then walked over to Arka and hugged her close surprising her as she didn't see that coming and she knew this was a comforting hug Gurren was giving her.
Gurren then let go of Arka before looking to her knowing what he had to do. "Arka I know this is oddly belated but would you care to go to the dance with me." Gurren said as he looked into Arka's eyes.
Arka wipe away the tears before smiling at Gurren. "I would love to." Arka said before Gurren took her hands and together the two returned to the dance.
(Later at the Dance)
People were shocked when they saw Gurren return with Arka as the two entered the dance floor as they began to dance with each other. Gurren was quiet good as no doubt Zaruba was leading him and Arka luckily learned from her dad and her 11 aunts. As they dance Team RRK smiled at their leader as team ARO took notice as well as the two dance. With each step a bond that was old and untouched was not only being revived but being made stronger.
Once the song came to an end Rena smiled at her teammates. "Raiden, Kuro it is happening!" Rena called as Raiden looked confused.
"Wait what is happening?" Raiden asked as he looked to Kuro for an answer.
"Love." Kuro said as he looked to his leader.
Watching the two dance, to everyone the golden boy of new beacon and the black sheep of Pyrrha dancing together, they could not believe it, but Ruby from the back look to this, she was happy for her son.
Gurren and Arka keep it slow to the dance itself as Arka look Gurren in his eyes and said, "I never really thought this would happen, to be dancing with someone." Given a small blush at the end a bit.
Gurren tilted his head a bit and said, "You might have, but if not I would… be there for you." Arka had a small tear in her eye as she just push herself into his chest and they went on dancing as they hear the song.
To the eyes of Kite as he watch the two dance as well, he saw a golden aura from Gurren that seep through the dark mist around him, to able to see the darkness with Gurren being push aside by a light within as well to his thought is, 'So, she is his light… interesting.'
Keep going with his dance with Anya as kite went on thinking, 'I guess we are fated to fight each other, until one of us dies, but until then I will enjoy my time with this silver eyes warrior." Look down a bit to Anya as he looks at her silver eyes as they glow with the lights around.
When the song ended people stop and look up on stage to the sound of a mic was turn on and someone walked on stage and to most people surprise it was Rey as he stood in the middle of the stage and begin to say, "Hey, how it's going night everyone."
To everyone surprise and the girls screaming around, they were talking trying to figure out what is going on as Rey looked at everyone as he begin to say, "Now I know not many of you would know who I am, and some of you do… so I like you to put your hand together and welcome to some special friends of mine that came out here from Atlas to play... say hello to the Zero Black Blood!"
The girl around started to scream out as the curtains open behind Rey and the spot lights were on them.
A mic stand was brought around for Rey as he put the mic on it and said, "Here a new song for you guys and girls out there, Faunus and human's alike." started to sing as song play their guitar and a with the drums going low following Rey's lead
*Yume De Aeta Nara - Den-O movie ending song
(We don't own the song, but we love it).
"Yume de aetara hora
Donna kotoba de kimi wo daki yoseru
Dare nimo jama sarenai
Manatsu no yoru ni ..."
The song kicked up and then everyone got into the song and started to dance.
Hitomi tojireba hora
Yume no naka de konya kimi ni aeru
Tsukare shirazu no yorusa asa ga kuru no mo wasurete
Moshimo aetara hora
Donna kotoba de kimi wo daki yoseru
Dare nimo jama sarenai surou na yoru ni...
Everyone enjoyed themselves as Anya joined the crowed as it looked like large balloons were dropped down. People began to throw them up into the air as they let them float down only to be thrown up again by the people.
Yume to kimi to genjitsu to boku denara
Jinsei kandou kyohen no dekiagari desu
Kamawanu mon bakkari de
Muzukashiku kangaeta toko de
Iki teruuchi no sanpun no ichi kurai
Tanoshimanakya sou nan desu
Team RRK, well more Rena was enjoying the song as Rena grabbed Raiden and Kuro to get them to dance along. Kuro kept trying to escape while Raiden was looking for an escape but Rena kept dragging them back in. They eventually gave up and danced along as students were jumping up and down like it was a party.
Hitomi tojireba hora
Yume no naka de konya kimi ni aeru
Tsukare shirazu no yorusa asa ga kuru no mo wasurete
Moshimo aetara hora
Donna kotoba de kimi wo daki yoseru
Dare nimo jama sarenai surou na yoru ni...
The camera's followed Zero Black Bloods and focused on their individual members. The camera then focused on Rey as his mother's charm was displayed as clear as day.
(In Atlas)
Weiss looked at the live stream sense she was Rey's mother the promoters gave her free access to her sons performances free of charge. Weiss smiled as she remembered this song from a long time ago mainly when Aron was still alive.
"Aron." Weiss said as she was a bit teary eyed.
Unknown to Weiss Winter was watching as she saw how much Weiss loved Aron and their son. Winter was on sick leave recently as she looked to Weiss and smiled before walking away.
(Back at the Dance in New Beacon)
Yume to kimi to genjitsu to boku denara
Jinsei kandou kyohen no dekiagari desu
Kamawanu mon bakkari de
Muzukashiku kangaeta toko de
Iki teruuchi no sanpun no ichi kurai
Tanoshimanakya sou nan desu
Ruby smiled at Rey as she knew he had definitely inherited his mother's talent for music but chose a different genre to hone that talent. That was when she felt her Scroll vibrate and she picked it up and saw she had a text message from Sirius. She opened it and smiled as it was not only a text but a picture. On it was the words, "Happy Anniversary of our First Dance together," as with it was a picture of one of Sirius' latest fans that held a painting of Garo and Yaiba dancing together with their weapons crisscrossing to the side.
"Oh Sirius." Ruby said as she would never forget their first dance, nor would she forget her wedding day and there first dance then as husband and wife.
Soredemo yappa tsurakute
Omoi wo todoketaku natte
Iki teruuchi no sanpun no ni datte
Kimi ni aitaku narun desu
Gurren was dancing with Arka as they were enjoying themselves as Arka smiled as she was impressed with Gurren after hearing how his parents couldn't dance before. "I never knew you could dance Gurren." Arka said as she looked to Gurren.
"Well when you have a sister its kind of a given." Gurren said as he looked to Arka. "What about you?" Gurren asked as Arka smiled.
"Well when you have seven Aunts on your dads side who said dad had to dance with on multiple occasions its more of a given, plus with dad trying for a son someone's gotta teach the new one to dance." Arka said as it was no secret to her or her parents that Jaune wanted to pass down Gaia to his son and not have to put his grandkids through losing him like he did his own grandfather.
Ichido kiridemo iisa
Konya dake wa kimi no yume wo misasete
Okubyou datta boku ni kitto sayonara dekirunda
Moshimo aetara donna
Rasutosongu (last song) de asa made odorouka
Dare nimo jama sarenai manatsu no yoru ni...
Rey jumped into the crowd as they caught him as they carried him while he continued the song. Once he was back on stage he decided it was time for the climax of this song.
Yume kara samete shimau hodo
You & me de it's show time kimi to futari dancing all night
You& me kara samete shimau hodo ni...
Hey! You & me...
The song began to come to an end as Rey smiled at the crowd. The Schnee's was known for its mistreatment of the Faunus because of his grandfather being head, his mother was known for having a more open mind considering people found out her teammate was a Faunus, and him he was known as a down right Faunus supporter. Rey wasn't going to let his family's mistakes dictate him. Besides if worst comes to worse he'll take his inheritance and instantly give the company to his mother while leaving his grandfather with nothing.
The people were enjoying themselves as the up on the balcony Bethany and Icarus watched as they saw Kite who was sitting at a table give them the ever so subtle movement which was their signal. Icarus nodded and sent the message on his scroll to his sister which was one work, Fun.
(With Aphrodite)
Aphrodite looked at her scroll in her dorm room and nodded as she activated the Umbra Network and contacted a certain Captain. "Captain Iwa it time to begin the operation." Aphrodite said as she smirked.
"As you wish my lady." Ao said before the captain hung up to inform their mole.
(Meanwhile on one of the roofs)
"Oka its time." Came Ao's voice as Oka smiled. Oka was a lion Faunus dressed in Umbra tech infiltration light armor. It was designed for spies and black ops but her lover Kite had snagged her one and with the help of their black ops member and Ao they were able to make some modifications to it. Now Oka can basically kick ass and take names while looking good.
"Got it Blue Rock." Oka said as hopefully once Kites mission here was done they can finally have the life Kite had promised her when they first had their little wedding. It's funny really now that Oka thought of it former slave now wife to the Empress Wrath that would be something to put on the headlines plus sense many of the Laws were lax and wavered for the Umbra Knights and Alchemists their marriage was basically legal in the Empires and Empress eyes. Oka then put on her mask and began running torts the CCT Tower.
Ao had studied the reasons how the old Beacon fell and she can say without a doubt that the CCT Tower was how it fell. Now a person would normally put a virus on their computers but Ao had taken precautions and calculated that they had better fire walls and malware protection from last time. Now what Kite had ordered was not to put a virus but a program that would make it look like a virus but in fact was a carefully crafted program that would give the Umbra full control of the Amity Coliseum for the duration of the invasion. They were going to use the ultimate symbol of peace and have it used as the symbol that peace is a lie and has ended.
Oka was ok with it as long as the people get out in time, her travels with Kite from Acolyte to Wrath has shown her Kite had tried many times to help people who didn't deserve to die. Oka jumped from one building to the next as she made her way to the CCT tower to place the program in. Luckily Ao made sure it would be downloaded to a folder that no one would notice a new file in it and even if they did she made sure it was named something that wouldn't even be a catch of the eye.
(At the dance)
Gurren smiled as he and Arka walked outside with some punch in hand as Arka laughed a bit with Gurren simply smiling. "So when dad found the guy who played with my emotions he showed him why you never cross an Ark plus my aunts also gave the guy a piece of their mind. Needless to say no guy would ever be crazy enough to play with my feelings again and get away with it because that guy ended up going to the school dance in a dress." Arka laughed as Gurren found it funny sense he heard Jaune had come back to a dance in a dress to honor his word.
"Well it's ironic really." Gurren said as Arka laughed.
"I know that's what makes it a funny memory." Arka said before Gurren noticed something.
Gurren looked and saw a female figure jumping from one building to the next as she seemed to be heading to the CCT tower. Arka saw this but sense she was wearing a dress she wasn't exactly wearing the right cloths to go fighting as she nodded to Gurren. "Go I know you can handle this." Arka said as Gurren nodded and began running torts where the CCT Tower was.
(At the CCT Tower)
The two Guardsman were guarding the CCT Tower as they watched for anything suspicious as they held there rifles at the ready. But unaware to them a cloaked Oka came behind them and knocked their heads together knocking them out. As they fell Oka dragged them to the bushes and put the in there. Oka then deactivated her cloak field and began making her way inside. She knew she had to be quick but when she did she was met by more Guards.
Oka then pulled out her twin massive costume made Pistols Beast and Animal and began shooting at them as they each fell down before one got close. Oka then transformed them into twin short swords and blocked his attack before combining them into a claymore and slammed it on the ground knocking the last guard down. Oka saw the ones that were bleeding from the bullet wounds but she didn't have time to get them healed up so she continued on. She arrived at the Elevator and pressed the button as it began to lower to the floor she was on.
When it pinged Oka activated her cloak field once again cloaking herself just as the door opened as the guardsman were shocked to see there allied knocked down. Before they could contact help Oka was already behind them and nerve pinched them knocking them out. Oka then entered the elevator and deactivated her cloak field before pressing the button to head to her desired floor.
(With Gurren)
Gurren arrived to see the guards were missing before pointing Zaruba out. "Anything Zaruba?" Gurren asked as Zaruba looked.
"Looks like someone was here using a seal to hide herself it seems there's an intruder in the CCT Tower." Zaruba said as Gurren nodded and pulled out his scroll before pressing the button and summoning his locker before it opened revealing Garoken in the Garo Bullet.
(With Oka)
Oka arrived at the communications room and began making her way to the main console and activated it before she plugged in the scroll as she began the download. As she worked she soon got a call from Ao as she heard the Agents voice. "Oka I have received word that a party guest Ironwood has left by my calculations he will be on his way soon." Ao said as Oka cursed.
"How long do I have?" Oka asked as she did the download.
"About 20 minutes. Are you finished?" Ao asked as Oka soon saw the download was complete.
"Yeah I am." Oka said before she got off. But to her shock the door elevator door soon opened as Gurren walked out with his hand to the sheathed Garoken ready to draw it as Oka had quickly hid.
"Whoever is here show yourself there's no point in hiding so come out quietly." Gurren said as he looked for the intruder.
Oka took a moment as she knew her only way out were not to be seen by anyone and the only thing that between her for an exit is the person within the room, her only option now is to fight her way out.
Came out of hiding with her guns in hand, Gurren look to her and demanded, "Who are you?" ready for anything as he put his hand on Garoken and his trigger finger on the Garo bullet, being ready to get a cripple the person if they try something.
Oka didn't answer him at all, staying silent just in case if she gets out of here, he wouldn't recognize it, if they were to meet again unexpected.
Aim her guns and fire upon Gurren as he drew Garoken as he deflect the shot, and fire a few himself.
Oka dodges the shots, as her enemy seems to be a crack shot, himself. She duck behind a desk with Gurren stop firing, didn't want to destroy things if he can help it.
Oka extended her blades from her guns, going for a close combat, jumping from behind the desk as Gurren keep his eyes on her, as she landed in front of him and they went at it with their blades.
They went at each other, as Oka was about to overpower him with her two blade weapon as she use her free weapon to cut Gurren with, but he quickly lifted up his sheath weapon to block it, good thing he learn this when he fought Zaji.
Gurren keep pushing her back as Oka jumped away from a slash from the Makai knight as she thought, 'This guy is no joke. He may be on the same level as Kite. I need to get out here quickly.'
Gurren ready himself as he swing his weapons around and pointed his sword at the mask girl as he said, "I won't ask again, who are you; what your purpose being here?"
Oka didn't really had a choose here as she going to have to use her Ace, a she retracted her blade into her guns, as she fold one back in gun mode and then put her weapons together to form a shooter type weapon as the energy build up fast.
Gurren acted fast as he pointed Garo bullet at it and at the same time they fire and their shot collided but the blow back came at Gurren as he lifted his arms from the force that came at him. The force of the blast was all Oka needed to make her escape as when Gurren looked he saw Oka was gone and the elevator door open to reveal Ironwood as Gurren was surprised.
(With Oka)
Oka made her escape by using her Semblance she called Masquerade and appeared as a guardsmen before narrowly escaping as she smirked.
"Oka did you download to program?" A one asked over the channels as Oka smiled.
"Don't worry it's all been handled, and like you said, they'll be scratching their heads long after the War." Oka said as she smiled.
(With Gurren)
Gurren was sitting down as people were investigating the scene as Ironwood knew Winter should be dealing with this once she takes his place as General. But one thing for sure the Umbra was here and no doubt they're advancing their plans.
The quickly found the virus but they didn't realize that the Virus was a cover for a program as like Apple calculated the program blended in the computers. For a minute the Umbra Empire Symbol appeared as it was evident that the Umbra were preparing.

ESKK: Well here you go everyone new World of Remnant and new chapter all in one day. Anyway I have a message to all you fanfic writers and readers.

Here's my tip focus on school because my updates might take longer than ever because of my dumb mistakes and my stupid inability to keep good grades. I had everything handed to me on a silver platter and I took it for granted so don't make my mistake. Anyway that's enough of me ranting leave a review and be prepared for longer waits, so ja ne.
