It's OK, Omega is here. Hey guys and girls(or whatever reads my shitty story) sorry about the late upload, I was at a con for a while and I had to walk to the convention centrer so I was not in a mood to write afterwards. Anyway, two reference this time, and also since I give shitty hints I will put where the references are from in the author's note of the next chapter. Hope you enjoy.
The week following Team CFVY's visit was uneventful. Cyan had to use his semblance on himself when he saw the amount of homework he had to do. Thanks to his teammates helping him, less helping him and more making sure he didn't run away, Cyan finished his homework in the span of two days. Team JAKS was no longer a problem, Cyan just had to smile at them and they would apologize and run off screaming in the other direction.
Team CFIN was walking back from their last class for the week, when Nagami remembered something.
"When your aunt met us for the first time she said some weird things."
"Did she take off her sunglasses, and look in you in the eye beforehand?" Cyan asked.
"Yes."
"That's her semblance." Cyan explained. "When she looks someone in the eye she can tell what your semblance is; even if you yourself don't know what it is. She can also understand a bit of your core personality, something you may not even know about yourself. What'd she tell you?"
Before they could answer, Cyan was taclked to the floor by a blue ball of pure energy.
"BIG BRO! Did you miss me, did ya, did ya?"
Cyan found that his sister was the one who taclked him. She was smiling, and her tail was going a mile a minute. No longer surpirsed, Aqua tackling him was a common occurence, Cyan put his hand on her head, and started ruffling her hair.
"Of course I did, pup."
Aqua's smile grew even wider when Cyan called her his nickname for her.
"Aqua, get off your brother."
Cyan looked towards where the voice was coming from, and saw his mother and his old friend Aurum standing there.
Aurum had both gold eyes and gold hair, and that doesn't mean blond, Aurum's hair was literally the color of gold. His hair was so sparkly when the sun hit it that he put blond hair dye in his hair, as to avoid blinding people. Aurum was wearing his usual outfit of a black tracksuit, and a toolkit. Cyan did not avoid seeing that hios friend was smiling with his smile that said 'I am going to kill you.'
"Okay, mom." Aqua responded a little dissapointed as she got off her older brother (A/N: bow-chicka bow wow).
When Cyan got up, he introduced his little sister to his team.
"Guys, this is my little sister, Aqua."
Aqua took a small bow, something she always did even when meeting a new person even though she generally didn't care for formalities. "Pleased to meet you."
They all said their greetings to the little wolf faunus. Afterwards, while Cyan was at it he introduced Aurum and Cyan's mother. "And this is my mother, and my friend/mechanic Aurum."
Cyan's mother gave the same bow Aqua did, and Aurum gave a mock salute as they introduced themselves.
"Pleased to meet you all, I am Cyan's mother. You can call me Azure."
"Yo, call me Aurum."
Cyan's team exchanged pleasantries again. Once they did, Aurum turned towards Cyan still with his big smile, and punched him in the stomach. At this point, the FIN of CFIN was getting used to seeing their leader randomly assualted.
"You broke Dark Tyrant, you blue moron!" Aurum shouted, as Cyan tried to recover from the aura-laced blow to his stomach. "That's the second time you've broken one of my creations! The first time was hard enough, since you used Dark Tyrant to do it!"
"What happened the first time?" Nagami asked.
"He took my newest sword, and to test it's durability," Aurum used air quotes on the last part on that. "He swung it down onto Dark Tyrant shattering the weapon I had been working on for a week!"
"I said I was sorry, I didn't think it would break." Cyan said finally recovering from his stupor.
"DT can cut through beowolves lihe they're warm cheese, what the hell did you think was going to happen!" Aurum shouted.
"Again I'm sorry, I am also sorry for what happened to Dark Tyrant, but could you fix it, please?" Cyan pleaded with his oldest friend.
Aurum broke to Cyan's puppy eyes, a trick Aqua had helped Cyan improve. "Yeah, I'll fix it. Just give me the pieces."
"There at the dorm, come with me and I'll show you." Cyan said, telling his mother and sister as well as Aurum.
After about ten minutes of walking, they all arrived at the Team CFIN dorm room. Cyan opened the door letting the new arrivals into the room, Aqua's attention was immediatly drawn to the one thing that hung on the walls of the room (No one in Team CFIN was much of a poster person).
"Is that a deathstalker claw!?" Aqua exclaimed, starry eyed at the black and white appendage.
"Sure is, Pup." Cyan said putting his hand on Aqua's head.
Aqua's smile got even bigger. "You're so cool!"
Aurum decided to interrupt before Cyan's head got too big. "Where is Dark Tyrant."
"It's over here." Cyan pulled the black duffel bag that contained his weapon from under his bed. As Aurum walked over, Cyan unzipped the bag, reavealing the pieces of Dark Tyrant that lay inside. Aurum picked up the helmet of DT, his hands and eyes glowing gold with aura as soon as he touched the metal. He froze, as his eyes seem to rapidly move.
'What's with him?' Feirin asked.
"His semblance let's him know what it will take to make and/or fix a piece of technology." Cyan said. "Even if it's just an idea, he'll be able to tell you if it's possible with today's current technology. How else do you think I got a claymore that turns into a suit of armor. The only problem is that activating his semblance will completly freeze him, his brain using all the energy used for movement and using it for thought process." Cyan poked his friend in the head a couple times to demonstrate what he had been saying.
It was a couple minutes before Aurum started moving again. "The damage isn't that bad, the seperation of the pieces was done very cleanly. It'll just take me a little while, but it'll be an easy fix." Aurum looked at Cyan after he picked up the duffle bag, lifting it onto his shoulder. "Where's the workshop?"
"Already sent directions to your scroll." Cyan said.
"Thanks, and give me your pawns I'll sharpen them while I'm at it." Aurum said putting his hand out.
"Pawns?" Iris asked.
"I didn't tell you?" Cyan said. "It's what my knives are called, there pitch white and there are eight, so a chess term seemed appropriate." Cyan reached into his pockets, pulling out the sleaves he used when he had to carry his knives in his pocket; Each sleeve contained four knives each. Cyan dropped them into Aurum's hand.
"Okay, I'll see you guys in a couple hours." Aurum said as he walked out of the dorm.
After Aurum left, Cyan noticed that Iris was standing as far a way as possible from Aqua who had taken a seat on Cyan's bed. "Come on iris, Aqua won't bite she's still just a pup." Cyan said sitting down on his bed, next to his sister.
Iris's tail shifted around as she responded. "I'm sorry, it's just instinct, and is she really okay with being called 'pup'?"
"As long as it's just big bro who says it, then I'm fine with it." Aqua said, taking the opportunity to sit on Cyan's lap.
"Aw, is Iris scared of the little girl?" Nagami said, getting ahold of Iris and scratching her ears.
"No, and stop that!" Iris exclaimed as she tried to escpae Nagami's iron grip.
Feirin got an exasperated look on his face, and showed the two girls soemthing he had written on his notebook. Iris and Nagami instantly seperated, their faces beet red.
"What did you write, Feirin?" Cyan asked.
Feirin walked over to Cyan, and showed him what he had shown Iris and Nagami.
'Would you two just kiss already!'
Cyan immediatly burst out laughing, nearly shoving Aqua off his lap as he did. Iris and Nagami got even redder, but before the embarrassment could continue for the two, someone started knocking on the door to the dorm.
Azure immediatly went and opened the door with a smile, it becoming automatic to do after so many years. "Hello, and you are?"
"My name's Lupa, is Cyan here." Cyan heard Lupa's voice come from the door way, the sight of her blocked by his posistion in the area behind the door.
"Yes, he's here." Azure opening the door wider to show Cyan, who waved at his friend from his seated position.
"Hey Lupa, what's up?" Cyan said. Before she could answer however, Cyan face-palmed. "Oh sorry, this is my mother and my sister, Aqua."
The three all had the same greeting, they bowed and gave a simultaneous "Pleased to meet you."
"Anyway," Lupa said. "I was hoping you would like to go out with me tommorow?" Lupa was blushing and she had sounded slightly embarrassed by her words.
Before Cyan could respond, Aqua popped up from his lap with her arms crossed. "NO! I won't let anyone have big bro!"
Cyan face-palmed internally. 'I forgot that Aqua was extremly territorial.'
Lupa was at first confused by the four foot eleven girl's sudden declaration. She then looked incredibly joyful as she bent down and rapped the small girl in a hug. "Awww, you are so adorable!" Aqua broke away from the older girl's hug, after a small amount of struggling(Aqua's semblance only worked if she was attacking, it doesn't activate if she's trying to just do something that requires strength).
"Aqua, be nice!" Azure said with a stern motherly voice. Aqua calmed down, but she did not look happy. Azure turned towards Lupa with a smile on her face. "You seem like a nice enough girl, so I don't mind you dating my son. However, if you hurt him I will not be resposible for my actions." Azure's words were filled with malic, even though she kept her smile. "Are we clear?"
Lupa gulped nervously, before answering. "Crystal."
"Anyway," Cyan said trying to steer the conversation into less scary topics. "I would love to go out with you tommorow." Cyan said with a clear and ever-present smile. "Say around, four?"
"Sure!" Lupa smiled. "See you then." Lupa walked out of the door with a spring in her step.
Aqua had a frown on her face, until Cyan started rubbing her head. "Come on, pup, cheer up. You know nothing will replace you."
Aqua immediatly perked up, leaning into Cyan's hand as he continued to rub her head.
"So," Cyan said. "we have a couple of hours, before Aurum's done with repairs. Who's up for a few games of cards?" Cyan grinned malicously as he pulled a deck of cards out of his pocket.
Aqua and Azure turned the offer down, knwoing full-well of how good Cyan was at anything involving cards. The three people who did not know this however, accepted the challenge for a game.
4 hours and a hundred games later.
"How the hell are you so good at this?!" Iris exlcaimed.
"Seriously!" Nagami said, Feirin nodding in agreement along with her.
"When it comes to most card games, the most important thing is having a good poker face." Cyan said shuffling the fifth deck of cards they had used(they kept switching to make sure Cyan hadn't marked the cards). "Which means keeping your emotions hidden. My semblance let's me see emotions, so I always know when you have a good or bad hand. I can also use my semblance to calm my emotions giving me the ultimate poker face." Before the others could complain about hacks, Cyan's scroll went off. He grabbed it from where it layed on his bed, and saw that Aurum had sent him a text.
'Fnished repairs, made improvements, come to workshop to see.'
'Short and concise, as usual.' Cyan thought. Aurum really didn't like texting, but Cyan got really quiet when he was on a phone, so he just stuck with texting. "Aurum's done with the repairs." Cyan said to his friends and family.
"Sweet, let's go check'em out!" Iris said, secretly very happy she could stopping getting beat in cards; the same went for Nagami and Feirin.
Minutes later, the group of six arrived at one of Beacon's workshops. There were various tables occupied by students who wanted to either upgrade or fix their weapons. Aurum leaned agaisnt one of the worktables in the back, his hair shining brightly, the grin on his face was doing much the same as the group approached him.
"Nice to see you made it." Aurum said, giving his usual mock salute greeting. "Now behold the improvements made to my greatest creation." He gestured them over to Dark Tyrant that layed on the work table.
The improvement madde were fairly simple, lots of pointy things. The armored fingers of the armor now closely resembled claws. There were points at the knees, elbows, and shoulders, overall it gave the armor a more demonic look.
"By the way," Aurum said. "If you ever need to disengage Dark Tyrant while it's in armor mode, and Cyan can't, there's a button of the back of the left knee that'll turn it back into sword mode." Aurum demonstrated, pressing said button and transforming Dark Tyrant into claymore mode.
"Two things, one, here are your pawns, now sharper then ever." Aurum handed Cyan back the knives in their cases. "And two, I have another weapon to add to your arsenal." Aurum grabbed a pair of white handguns from the worktable (A/N think alucard's handguns except pure white). "These babies are loaded with special armor peircing rounds that will one shot beowolves, I have affectionately named them 'The Rooks'."
Cyan took the handguns from his friends, testing their weight in his hands. A wide grin emcompassed his face. "I love them, thanks man!"
"Yeah, yeah, just don't break them. Here's the holsters for them." Aurum handed Cyan took black bundles of leather, that Cyan quickly attached to his legs, sliding The Rooks into them. Cyan also grabbed Dark Tyrant and strapped it to his back.
"Thanks again, Aurum. Now if you excuse me," Cyan straightened an imaginary necktie. "I have a date to plan for." With that Cyan walked out of the forge, his team following close behind.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter, sorry again for the late upload. OK is out.
