It's OK, Omega is here. What's up, here we are with the final chapter of Team CFIN. The first chapter being about... five months ago, wow! Probably the longest amount of time, I've ever been able to concentrate on something. I am also extremely proud to say that I have my very first favorite/follower. Thank you, Toy2711, very much for that. Here are the last chapter's references:
Reference 1: The way Dark Tyrant looks after the helmet is taken off, is supposed to resemble Kubikiribōchō from Naruto. The sword weilded by Zabuza.
Reference 2: Razi's semblance is inspired by Kuroko's misdirection in Kuroko No Basket, although it works more along the lines of that chameleon guy's power from HunterXHunter.
Reference 3: There is a shadow paladin card in Cardfight!Vanguard called Halberd Revenger, Peredur.
Seeing as this is the final chapter, no references this time. Hope you enjoy the sixteenth and final chapter of Team CFIN.
"What do you mean?" Razi asked, beyond confused by Cyan's statement.
"My full name is Cyan Matu." Cyan said, the tears still falling. "Cobalt Matu is, or I guess was, my father. So, in all technicalities, I'm your brother, Razi."
"My...bro...ther." Razi fell onto his knees, as his own tears started to fall. "I can't believe it. Ha ha ha, it's just so unbelievable. I grew up with nothing, until someone actually offers me a home, and after he's gone, through sheer luck, I manage to meet someone else who I can call family."
Cyan wished he could hug the boy to calm him down, but alas his body refused to answer his commands. So, Cyan just settled fro smiling and saying comforting things, while the younger boy cried happy tears.
"So," Cyan said, when Razi had stopped crying. "Would you like to know more about your new family."
"Of course!" Razi exclaimed, incredibly eager.
Cyan then started telling story after story, about his childhood and the family that was as much Razi's as it was Cyan's. Cyan told him how Aqua discovered her semblance, and turned a gigantic boulder into pebbles. Cyan told him about the time he had stolen his aunt's beret, and how she destroyed half the town trying to get it back. Each story seemed to make the wolf faunus's smile grow more and more. Cyan told Razi stories every day, until Cyan could finally move, again.
"Hey, Cy, I'm back!" Razi announced as he stepped into his home with an armful of food. When he didn't see his newly-aquired big brother in bed like he had been, he put the food down on the table, and scratched his head in confusion. "Where did he go?"
"BOO!"
"AAAHH!"
"Hahahaha!" Cyan laughed. "I've been waiting to do that for the past nine days." Razi had been using his semblance to sneak up on Cyan for a while, and Cyan had been waiting for the chance to get even.
"I probably deserved that." Razi admitted. "So, you can move again, huh?"
"Yep, happened a couple minutes ago." Cyan smiled. "Now, I can head back to Vale and let everyone know that I'm not dead."
"That's great!" Razi said with a sad smile, something that did not go unnoticed by Cyan.
"Oh, you're coming with me." Cyan told the young wolf-faunus, causing a look of surprise to appear on Razi's face. "What, did you really think that I would leave my newest family member and only brother alone in a place like this? That's crazy. You're coming with me, even if I have to drag you there."
The surprise on Razi's face immediatly turned to gratitude as he started crying and hugged his older brother. "Thank you!"
"Hey, it's fine, but could you maybe stop crying, this is the only shirt I have on me." Cyan said, struggling to stand with Razi hanging off him.
"Sorry." Razi said, while wiping his eyes. "So, when do we leave?"
"As soon as possible." Cyan answered, already ready for the coming journey. "Get whatever you need ready. While you do, I need to take care of something."
"Right!" Razi saluted.
Cyan walked out of the cottage as Razi started grabbing things, while simultaneously eating. He walked to the back of the cottage, where a makeshift grave stood with stones covering it and a piece of wood acting as a gravestone. Kneeling before the makeshift grave, Cyan began to speak.
"So, this is where you went, huh, dad." Tears threatened to fall as Cyan continued to speak. "Your plan of making us hate you almost worked, if it weren't for Razi. Although, I have a sneaking suspicion though, that you knew this would happen. You would always be saying things that didn't quite make sense, until later. Anyway, I think you'd ne proud to know that mom's fine, as well as Aqua." Cyan smiled as a few tears escaped his eyes. "Aqua's currently at Signal trying to be a huntress. I'm at Beacon, leading my own team. I'm sure you'd like them. I also made a lot of new friends, and I also got a girlfriend, I know you would have like her."
"I should probably get going" Cyan said as he started to stand. "I'll come by everyone once and a while, probably bring mom and Aqua along with me." Cyan turned around and walked back to the front of the house, as he waved behind his back. "See ya later, dad."
Cyan wiped the tears from his face, as he got back to the front of the cottage. There stood Razi, with a smile on his face and a knapsack on his back.
"You ready to go?" Cyan asked, to which Razi responded with a nod. "Then, let's go!"
It took a total of three days to get back to Vale. Sometimes they walked, sometimes they hitched a ride, and other times they took advantage of Razi's semblance and snuck onto cars. It was through that, that they found out that Razi's semblance only lasted about ten minutes, and half that if he was using it on himself and another person.
"So, how do we get to Beacon from here?" Razi asked, looking up at the mountain that the school sat on.
"Well, there's a airship that goes there, that I have acess to with my student ID on my scroll." Cyan told him, as he and Razi walked through a park.
"Wait, you have a scroll?" Razi asked.
"yeah, why?"
Razi's expression was slowly starting to turn to rage. "If you have a scroll, why didn't you just call someone from Beacon, and have them pick us up?! Why did we just waste the past three days being stowaways?!"
Cyan froze, not realizing beforehand that he could have done what Razi then walked over to the nearest tree and bashed his head against it, about twenty times.
"Well," Cyan said, his aura not a tad smaller. "No use crying about it now." Cyan reached into his pocket for his scroll, only to find it was smashed to pieces. 'Must have broke, when Yang tackled me out of the way.' He thought, before turning to Razi. "Um, okay, change of plans. Razi you'll need to keep us unnoticed while we sneak onto the airship and hide amongst the crowd afterwards."
Razi gave an exasperated sigh. "Dust Dammit."
Minutes later, they succesfully snuck onto an airship and were on there way to Beacon.
"So, what are we going to do when we arrive?" Razi asked.
"Well, we should probably go to Ozpin's office first." Cyan responded. "That way I can explain how I didn't die, and prbably get you enrolled at Beacon."
"Seriously?" Razi asked, his eyes starting to gleam.
"Yep!" Cyan smiled, as he patted Razi's head. "Plus if I know Ozpin he'll help me gather all of my loved ones in one place. So, that I could show that I'm alive in a shocking reveal."
"Seriously?" Razi deadpanned.
"Well, it's either that or pretend to be a ghost and haunt my team's dorm." Cyan said. "Oh, look we've arrived."
Dragging a still dumb-founded Razi over to a bunch of bushes to hide behind, Cyan told his newly-found brother the next step of his plan. "Okay, now you still have enough aura for around five more minutes of psuedo-invisibility, right?"
"Yes," Razi answered. "And I keep telling you, my semblance is better desribed as misdirection rather than invisiblity. When your invisible, people can still notice you through smell, touch, or hearing. My semblance whoever makes it so that people can't even notice those."
"Alright, point taken." Cyan said. "Anyway, get on my back, I should be able to make it to Ozpin's office in under five minutes."
Razi did as Cyan asked and climbed onto his back. Once in a comfortable position, Razi activated his semblance and Cyan took off running. Cyan managed to get he and Razi into the elevator with about two minutes to spare.
When the elevator started going up, Razi climbed off Cyan's back and deaciivated his semblance. Cyan smiled as he caught his breath having gotten there faster than he thought he would have.
The elevator came to a stop and as the doors opened, Cyan waved Razi along. Cyan stood in front of the doors to Ozpin's office and pushed the two doors opened, revealing Ozpin and Proffesor Goodwitch.
"Miss me?" Cyan asked with a gigantic grin.
Professor Goodwitch's reaction was just what Cyan was hoping for. " ? But, how?"
Ozpin's reaction on the other hand was a tad dissapointing. " , I've been expecting you."
"Wait, what?" Cyan exclaimed, very confused. "How were you expecting me. I just got here like five minutes ago, and I didn't contact anyone beforehand."
"And, why, praytell, did you not contact anyone beforehand?" Goodwitch asked, a noticeable purple vein appearing on her forehead.
Cyan answered by holding up his ruined scroll for the proffesor and the headmaster to see. This managed to calm Glynda enough for Ozpin to speak.
"Well, you see, I have eyes all over this school." Ozpin said with a sly smirk. "You only showed up on the camera's for about a minute, but it was enough to confirm your status. Although, I can't seem to figure out, how you managed to sneak into my office from the loading docks without my camera's noticing."
"That can be explained rather simply." Cyan grinned, as he sidestepped to show Razi, who had been hiding behind him. "This little guy is Razi, he was living in the forest you sent us to, and he also happens to be my long-lost brother."
"Really?" Ozpin asked. "This young man was able to live in a grimm-infested forest by himself? I find that rather hard to believe."
"Razi..." Cyan gestures to the boy in a vlear sign of 'take it from here'.
Razi activates his semblance, completly dissapearing from the awareness of everyone in the room, before deactivating it a couple seconds later. "My semblance allows me and anyone I touch to be completly unnoticeable from anyone or anything, this includes grimm."
"Fascinating." Ozpin said, before returning his attention to his no longer missing student. "Now, may I ask why you decided to come to me, before your team about you actually being alive."
"Well, before I answer, how many of the people I have a significant connection to are here?" Cyan asked.
Ozpin thought for a moment before answering. "Oddly enough, all of them. Your team and 's team are both just finishing their classes for the day. Team CFVY is here to visit Ms. Scarlatina, as well as mourn your 'passing'. Your mother, sister, and friend Aurum are here for the same reasons, as well as Long. And the people from Fred's diner are here helping the cafeteria staff make dinner. Your team told me about the diner, after you went missing." Ozpin added the last part, when he saw Cyan's face twist into confusion at the mention of his friends at the restuarant.
"Well, that's weirdly convient." Cyan admitted.
'FANFIC PROTAGNIST BULLSHIT!' Joker shouted in Cyan's mind, going unheard by the blue-haired boy.
"Anyway, I was hoping..." Cyan described his plan to the headmaster and Proffesor Goodwitch. The former of whom gave a sly smile and made the preparations, and the latter of whom facepalmed very hard, joined by Razi.
About thirty minutes later, the entirety of Cyan's loved ones stood in Ozpin's clock-like office. Cyan stood off to the side, Razi keeping him unnoticed.
"Why'd you call us here, Oz?" Coco asked.
"Did they find Cyan's body?" Cyan's mother asked in a tone that made Cyan feel really guilty for not revealing himself sooner.
"Not exactly..." Ozpin said.
Recongnizing the signal to deactivate his semblance, Razi remembered something Cyan said when he told him the signal.
"Don't worry about what happens after they find out I'm there." Cyan told him, confusing the boy, but after dropping his semblance his confusion cleared.
"Hey, guys!" Cyan called out, drawing the attention of everyone in the toom to himself. "Ya miss me?"
"CYAN!" eighteen voices called out in unison as they rushed toward the young man.
Unlike the hug, Razi expected them to drag his brother into, all eighteen people punched Cyan in various places. Then they brough him into a hug. Everyone wanted to ask Cyan a myriad of questions, but the first one was asked by Iris.
"How the hell did you survive!?"
"I had some unforseen help." Cyan said, not fully recovered from the punches; some of them had been aura-laced. He was still able to point to Razi, though, giving the boy the attention of the room.
"Razi Matu, at your service." Razi said, having taken the last name at Cyan's insistence(A/N: that didn't sound quite right.)
"That raises more questions then it answers." Fox said, slight annoyance present in his voice.
"Heh heh, yeah, I definetly have some explaining to do." Cyan grinned, while scratching the back of his head.
Cyan spent the rest of the evening explaining what had happen after the mission. Tears where shed, when Cyan told them what had happened to his father. Razi was immediatly pulled into a hug by Azure(Cyan's mom) and Aqua, upon learning that they were essentially family. The warmth of the hug made Razi start crying happy tears.
More happy tears were shed, when Ozpin said that Razi would be attending Beacon Academy as the fourth memebr of Lupa's team, now known as Team LORD, led by Lupa of course. Lupa, Onyx, and Dai welcomed the boy with open arms. Lupa especially, looking forward to getting close to her possible future brother-in-law.
After a few more questions, and punches, Cyan went back to his dorm with his team. Letting Razi get to know his new teammates. On the way back to their dorm, Feirin remembered something he needed to tell Cyan.
'There's twenty lien in your grave.' The green-haired boy wrote with a smirk.
"Why would there be twenty lien in my... grave..." Cyan trailed off as he remembered a bet he had made a couple weeks ago. His look of confusion turning into a giant grin, Cyan looked towards the two female members of Team CFIN, who were both blushing madly. "So, you two finally got together, huh?"
Nagami and Iris nodded sheepishly, causing Cyan's smile to grow even more.
"Congratulations! I'm happy for the both of you!" Cyan exclaimed. "So, who confessed?"
"I did." Nagami said. "Iris got really depressed after you had gone missing. She was beating herself up, telling herself that she should have done more. A couple nights ago, she got even more self-degrading and I didn't want to hear her talk about herslef like that. So, I kissed her."
"Man, we really should have bet on who would have confessed, Feir." Cyan told his partner. "You would have won back that twenty lien."
'Already have, you're not dead.' Feirin countered.
"Touché." Cyan admitted. "Anyway, let's get back to the dorm. I'm exhausted."
The young man and his team proceeded to their dorm, where Cyan had his best sleep in weeks.
The next day, Cyan went through his morning routine, and with his friends and teammates went class for the day, where Cyan announced to his peers, and eventually the world.
"TEAM CFIN IS HERE!"
The End
Well, there you go, the final chapter of Team CFIN, but whereas this may be the end of this particular story. Team CFIN's work is not yet done, I'm probably going to make a secondary fic for this, that's mainly just random stories. Mayber something about how the Team CFIN of the future goes back into the past, or maybe a wedding between Cyan and Lupa, or maybe I'll just add in some stats for each of my OC's, their height, weight, reason for their names. Send me a suggestion and I'll see if I can make it. Also, don't forget about the story I have coming out next month on September tenth. See ya then, OK is out.
