Third Person View

'Thought'

Greeed/Yummies

A ship flies through the skies over Vale as the civilians were doing their usual routines or activities. The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" is hanging a sign declaring its re-opening after the robbery/attack that happened back then. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls.

A feminine giggle was heard. "'Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here." The old man looks as he was looking at was a thin female with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair is a light, mint-green cut with a straight fringe and bangs, as well as two long locks on each side, in the back. She wears two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of high-heeled shoes.

Her attire consisted of an intricate, exotic-looking white top and olive undershirt, on the back of which is her personal emblem. This emblem is in the shape of a cut gem. This was intended to be accompanied by white shorts, decorated with what appears to be a gold coin-plated belt, with four gold chains draping around her back from two of the coins and what seems to be a green loincloth. She also wore a gold, three-ring armband on her left arm and a string of gold beads near the same wrist. She was also wearing white pants and brown chaps that end at her calves and an overlong belt, twice-wrapped.

She helps him to his feet and asks while presenting a price of paper, "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?"

The shopkeeper looked at it before nodding. "Hmm? Mm-hmm," he pointed at the direction she needed to go to.

The young woman walks away from the shop owner as both wave goodbye and passes by the large alley a voice spoke up, "I knew you were lost, Emerald." The voice came from a grey haired boy leaning against a wall. He is a well-built man with pale skin, silvery gray eyes and hair that is partially slicked back while unkempt at the front. He also wears a gray and black two-tone partial-zip jacket, that covers his upper body. He wears a single notched belt with what appears to be a sash or bandana draped over it. It is unclear whether his rerebraces are attached to his jacket.

The girl, now named Emerald, walked up to the boy with a wallet in hand, "Mercury, I will literally pay you to shut up."

The boy, now named, Mercury looked at the wallet, "That's not your money."

"But it could be yours for five minutes of silence."

"Hmm, no deal," Mercury answered as Emerald looked at him angrily before walking away, "Whatever, you want me."

The two of them walked through the streets toward their destination, bickering back and forth between each other. As they reached the store with the words Tukson's book trade written on it.

The two entered the store. The shop owner can be heard humming a tune. Mercury stops near the door to look at books while the young woman approaches the counter and rings a service bell.

"Be right there!" Tukson's voice responded.

Emerald looks back at Mercury. The shop owner is seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter. "Welcome to 'Tukson's Book Trade', home to every book under the sun!" He sets the stacks down. "How may I…" Turning around, he gasps and hesitates upon the two of them as if he recognizes them. "How may I help you?"

Although the book is open, Mercury is looking at Tukson. "Just browsing." He shuts the book.

"Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"" she asked.

"Yes we do."

"That's great." She responded excitedly.

"Would you... like a copy?"

"No, just wondering," she replied as Mercury closes another book. "Oh, oh! What about 'Violet's Garden'? In paperback?"

"He's got it. Hardback too." Mercury produces a book

"Ooh, options are nice." Emerald smiled.

"Eh, no pictures." Mercury closes the book. "Hey! Do you have any comics?

"Near the front."

"Oh, no, wait! What... about... "Third Crusade" Emerald asked once again.

This made Tukson hesitate, visibly unnerved. "Um... I…" Mercury and Emerald were eyeing him carefully. "...don't believe we carry that one.

Mercury slams another book shut. "Oh."

"What was this place called again?" She asked.

"Tukson's Book Trade." responded Tukson.

"And you're Tukson?"

"That's right."

"So then I take it that you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?" She wondered.

"Yes." He nodded.

"And, what was it again?" Mercury asked once again.

"Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun."

"Except the Third Crusade." He added

"It's just a catchphrase."

"It's false advertising!"

"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald said as Mercury activates a switch near the entrance causing a front window to darken. "I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo."

Mercury activates another switch and the window in the front door darkens. "Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that." She continued as Mercury activates the third and final switch, darkening the last window as he smiles creepily at Tukson. "And neither are we... You know who we are, don't you?

Tukson answered, "Yes."

She asked another question, "And you know why we're here."

"Yes."

"So, are you going to fight back."

"YES!" Unsheathing his claws, Tukson jumped on the desk and lunged at Emerald who simply ducked, allowing Mercury to kick Tukson straight into the wall.

After leaving the bookstore with the problem handled, Mercury continues to read the comic as Emerald spoke up. "I still can't believe that we have to work for that cat… Thing." She referred about the Feline Greeed.

"Considering the fact that the news mentioned one of them demolishing a small Atlesian Army. I say we had no choice." Mercury shrugged. "But hey, at least he is helping Cinder with this. Even though his pals aren't aware that he is working alongside Cinder."

"Still…" She growled. She hated Kazari when Cinder introduced him to the two at another location. They were first left in shock that he wasn't human but an intelligent creature more powerful than the Faunus. "This better be worth it."

Remnants of Desires

Chapter 14: Best Day Ever, Food Fight, New Friends

It has been two days and now classes for the new semester start tomorrow. Ankh was not happy to the fact that he is gonna be teaching the students again along with some from other schools.

Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Ankh, and I were in the cafeteria eating lunch as Blake was looking at a book she has.

"Whatcha doin?" Yang asked looking at Blake's book, Blake however closed the notebook and finally answered.

"Nothing, just going over notes for last semester."

I took notice of a grape landing in Yang's mouth, who was smiling as she swallowed. "Lame." Yang replied to Blake before giving Nora a thumbs up. Nora did a good throw for Yang to catch the grape.

"How is it lame?" I questioned.

"Studying can be boring you know?" Yang explained before she caught another grape.

Nora giggles as she continues to toss grapes at Yang with her spoon. Yang catches the fruit with ease, giving Nora the thumbs up once again. Ruby, giving an enormous heave, slams a binder onto the table, catching us off guard. On the cover of the binder is written 'Vytal Festival Activities, Property of Weiss Schnee'. This has been hastily crossed out with a red marker pen, and with the same pen, a new title, "Best Day Ever Activities", has been written underneath.

Ruby cleared her throat before gesturing to us and said, "Ahem. Sisters, friends… Weiss and Ankh."

"Hey/Oi!" Weiss and Ankh exclaimed.

"For score and seven minutes ago I had a dream." Ruby proclaimed happily making me chuckle. Ruby was always up beat, it was sort of contagious at times.

"This ought to be good." Yang whispered before she catches another berry in her mouth.

"A dream that one day the seven of us would come together as a team and have the most fun anyone's ever had, ever!" Ruby stated clearly only for Weiss to ask, "Did you steal my binder?"

"I am not a crook." Ruby answered quickly, making peace signs with both hands. I chuckled knowing that it is Weiss' binder since the cover clearly shows that it is her binder.

"What are you talking about?" Blake asked.

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" She answered, pointing at her.

"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang." Yang said at an attempt to joke but only for us to shake our heads from her pun. An apple hit Yang's face along with a loud boo from Nora.

"Look guys it's been a good week and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament, our second semester is going to be great. But, classes start back up tomorrow. Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today." Ruby said motioning toward the over sized book.

Ankh and I looked at the book in disbelief knowing that it is a huge binder and god knows how many events Ruby has in store for us.

"That is a little overboard if you are thinking of doing all that, don't you think?" I questioned before taking a drink of my water.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss agreed as Yang got up and threw an apple back at Nora only to hit Ren. Blake sighed and turned toward Weiss.

"I don't know, I think I might sit this one out." Blake said.

"Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day we should do it as a team." Weiss said before standing up. "I for one think that-" Weiss was abruptly cut off by the pie smacking her face.

Wondering who threw the pie, I looked at Nora who was pointing at Ren, blaming him when it was actually her who threw the pie.

I then had a grin on my face as I just realized where this is getting to. Team RWBY and JNPR took notice of my grin as well and had grins on their own.

I couldn't help but have the grin on my face before I said those two words that I wanted to say in this moment, "FOOD FIGHT!"

Meanwhile outside of the cafeteria, Sun Wukong was walking with a young man his age. He is a teenage boy with tan skin, dark blue eyes and messy light blue hair that is shaved on the sides and in the back, aka, an undercut. He wears a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket with a wide, upturned, black collar and a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides. The back of his jacket displays a silver reticle. It was Sun's friend Neptune.

"Man that's harsh," he said.

"I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome." Sun agreed.

"Nice,"

"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus. But that's a secret, okay?" He added.

"Got it."

Sun leans in close in order to stress the importance of this secret. "And not a, "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret", I'm talking secret secret."

"Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it." He assured.

"You better." He then said, "I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys.

"None taken." Neptune waved off.

The two were unaware as they pass by the cafeteria windows which were splattered with food. At one point Jaune is the one who splattered into the window.

"Also remember the news mention of those weird monsters that are almost like Faunus but all more evil looking?"

"Yeah I heard about it. Those things were always being beaten by an armored guy."

"Yeah, I actually got to meet him in person." He answered.

"You met him?"

"He was all fighting face to face with one with his armor extending claws even beating it with a simple strike."

"Nice."

The two soon got close to the entrance of the cafeteria. "They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?" Sun asked.

"Dude." Neptune crossed his arms while proving his point.

"Good point."

Sun and Neptune enter the cafeteria where students are heard screaming. Many students are shown stampeding out the door past Sun and Neptune, the latter of whom is looking quite worried as they saw that a food fight was occurring.

Standing tall on top of a stack of tables was Nora who was laughing crazily. I still wonder how they managed to do that but hey this a food fight. Things like this can turn out crazy.

"Ahahahahahaha! I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora cheered.

In front of the "castle", Ruby was holding a carton of milk tightly in her fist. She raised her arm, pointing a finger at Team JNPR.

"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" She yelled. Clenching her fists, crushing the milk carton in the process, sending milk squirting everywhere. "It will be delicious!"

"Yeah!" The rest of Team RWBY and I agreed with our fists raised.

"You guys are idiots…" Ankh muttered in annoyance as he was sitting at the only table that wasn't moved. "Still, it might just be amusing to watch you idiots go at each other with food."

"Off with their heads!" Nora declared. Oh it's on now!

Team JNPR leapt down from their shoddy construction, with Ren stomping on a table and catapulting three watermelons into the air, before sending them rocketing to their attackers with a flurry of kicks. Jaune leapt forwards and gripped a melon, using the momentum of a front flip to heave it skyward. Pyrrha grabbed two more, before letting them fly. Nora, meanwhile, gripped a table, and flung the remaining fruits at us.

"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby ordered. "Enrique! Baguette!"

Yang and I nodded as Yang rolls over to the turkeys and sticks her fists inside them, while I grabbed a baguette that strangely reminds me of my Medajalibur. With the both of us prepared, we both demolished the incoming watermelons as we then sped towards her.

Pyrrha and I soon clashed while Team RWBY took care of the other three members of Team JNPR. I did my best to block the strike before Blake helped me out as she jumped onto my shoulder before pushing Pyrrha back with two loafs of bread. The two continue their clash before Blake was thrown back from her baguette lock with Pyrrha, the latter threw it at Yang who was running full speed toward her as she punched one loaf but a second hit her sending her flying back.

Ruby jumped onto a food tray and rode across the table till she jumped and threw a loaf at Pyrrha only for Pyrrha to jump back and avoid it before impact. I then fought against Jaune as he used a tray as a makeshift shield. As my clash continues with Jaune, I sidestepped his hit and used the loaf as a bat and swung it to his back, full force as I sent Jaune flying to a stash of food.

I saw Pyrrha running towards me before I blocked her attack once more and we continued to block each other's attacks but I jumped over, landing behind her and took the advantage to grab the back collar of her outfit "Sorry about this." I said with a smirk before I jumped over Pyrrha and threw her over my head allowing Ruby to slam the tray into Pyrrha's back and send her into a pile of tasty debris. Ruby and I did a high five before we saw Weiss joining the fray.

Weiss, the last person I expected to be involved in this food war, gripped a bottle of ketchup, squirting it on the ground, and causing a charging Ren to slip.

However Nora jumped onto a table while in mid air and jumped again, grabbing a pole and impaling a watermelon creating a makeshift hammer as she slammed the melon hammer to the ground sending Ruby and I flying. Weiss grabbed a sword fish and lunged forward sending Nora flying, however she landed on her feet and dove forward spinning the melon hammer til she got a direct hit sending Weiss into a pillar cracking it wide open. Ruby dove and caught Weiss, in a dramatic pose as the pillar fell behind them.

"Weiss, Weiss, no please don't leave me, noooooooooo!" Ruby cried in fake dramatic style. I took notice of it before looking at Nora. "This means full on food warfare!" I declared as I got hold of another baguette.

"You all are idiots but this is amusing…" Ankh watched as he ate his ice cream, sitting on the table left intact.

Yang charged once more with her turkey gauntlets as Ren got a two leeks to block her kick. The two glare at each other before they began to brawl as the blonde brawler delivered multiple punches to his chest and the next punch made him spin a bit before she delivered an uppercut, sending him in the air. Using the advantage, he threw the leeks at her but she jumped back, avoiding it before she jumped in the air and sent Ren to the ground, crashing onto a cluster of tables.

Nora slammed the watermelon hammer at Yang but the the blonde brawler dodged it by jumping a couple of steps back. The two charged towards each other before Nora swung her makeshift hammer and literally sent Yang flying, right out of the ceiling! Did Nora send her to space or something!?

Blake then engaged Nora, armed with a link of sausages as a whip. I watched as Nora flew back to one of the vending machines, denting it severely, and spilling it's contents on the floor. Unfazed, the valkyrie simply kicked a soda can into the air, and followed up with a violent kick to the projectile, sending it rocketing towards Blake. She continued to do this, generating an unrelenting assault of soda that could rival the grenades on Magnhild. Pyrrha, obviously deciding to lend her assistance, raised her hands, using her polarity Semblance to lift the remaining soda cans, creating two tendrils of explosive, sweet, sticky goodness, and direct them at Blake. The result was akin to a violent gale: no matter how much Blake resisted the onslaught, she was quickly swept away in the maelstrom.

I charged towards Nora as she blocked the attack before I saw a butter knife fly right past me. I slowly looked at Pyrrha who had a grin on her face with more butter knifes floating behind her, all aimed at me. "Oh crap…" I uttered.

On time, she made the knives fly towards me, causing me to run away but I was soon pinned to the wall as the knives pinned my sleeves and the edges of my pants as I was in an 'X' formation and my face hitting the wall. "Ow…." I groaned. I turned my head a bit as I watched the rest of the food battle unfold.

Ruby, in the meantime, was now the only remaining combatant on our side. But this never fazed her, as she charged at Team JNPR, her Semblance kicking beyond overdrive. She became a single red arrow, wrapped in her own power, as she sped past JNPR. As she did so, they were plucked from the ground by a slipstream, and sent careening along with every scrap of untouched food.

Right before Ruby hit the wall, she stopped suddenly. But unlike her, the wind she had generated refused to do so, and slammed into the wall like a massive battering ram, causing the wall to crack violently, spiderwebbing to make a circular crater. A millisecond later, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren impacted into the wall, now pinned by the rush of air that had taken them there. The final nail in the coffin, however, was the wave of food speeding towards the trapped team.

What resulted could only be described as somebody mixing together every single colour into one massive multi-colored splotch on the cracked wall. The bodies of JNPR slid down to the ground, revealing four vaguely human-shaped areas that remained untouched by the wave of food, making us the victors.

"Um… can someone get me off the wall?" I muffled.

Ankh simply got up before he removed all the knives from me before moving away as I landed on the ground. "Thanks Ankh." I thanked as he simply rolled his eyes in annoyance.

I took notice of door behind Sun and another teen burst open, and Professor Goodwitch marched in angrily. With a wave of her riding crop, she quickly restored the room to some semblance of order, dismantling the hodgepodge construction of Nora's "castle" to the standard rows of table. The food mess, however, remained untouched.

"Children! Please, do not play with your food" she ordered just for Nora to burp.

"Enrique, arms out." Ankh informed.

I raised an eyebrow and did as instructed and just in time and by surprise, Yang landed in my arms. Oh yeah, Ankh has Aura Sense. "Nice catch," Yang winked at me, causing me to blush a little. Setting her down I said, "It was nothing."

"Let it go." Ozpin said as he approached and put a hand on Goodwitch's shoulder from behind.

"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world." Goodwitch said in response.

"Says the one who works too much to focus on simple things." Ankh retorted, receiving a glare from Goodwitch in which he ignored.

After all of it was over, well I just laughed. I haven't had this much fun in a long, long time. With me and Team RWBY as the winners of the food war, we were victorious. But we had to clean up after the whole food war with Ankh who watched us clean for two hours.

Right now, I was resting against tree as I gaze at the clouds with Ankh perched on the tree branch. I found it funny how one table survived the whole mess, the table that Ankh sat on, watching us fight while eating his ice cream.

"You were an idiot back at the cafeteria." He said while tapping away on his Scroll.

"I had fun." I countered with a shrug. "Besides you were watching the whole time without looking away."

"Whatever." He scoffed.

As I saw him going over files, relating to new students that will be attending Beacon, on his Scroll I heard someone call out.

"Yo."

I turned my head and saw Sun and the same teenage boy from earlier without the grape soda stains. He has tan skin, dark blue eyes and messy light blue hair that is shaved on the sides and in the back, aka, an undercut. He wears a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket with a wide, upturned, black collar and a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides. The back of his jacket displays a silver reticle. However there was one thing I could see in his eyes, all too familiar.

This guy is like Zack; flirts with the ladies.

I got up as I said, "Hey Sun, who's your friend?"

"This is Neptune Vasilias, he's my teammate." He replied, gesturing to his friend.

"Nice to meet you," Neptune said as he reached his hand out.

"The name's Enrique Alderete. I'm with Team RWBY." I nodded as I obliged with a handshake.

"You're the fifth member to a four person team?"

"Kinda." I said, "Sometimes I have to fight alone on certain situations."

"You mean those monsters?"

"Yeah," I nodded before pointing at Ankh, "that's Ankh. He's my… Mentor/bodyguard and also a teacher here… Sadly." I said quietly at the last part.

"Bodyguard?" The two guys repeated in surprise.

"I keep that idiot alive when it comes to fighting them." Ankh answered nonchalant as he goes through another file, no doubt finding Sun's and Neptune's profiles. "So… Neptune Vasilias and Sun Wukong, part of Team SSSN. Interesting…" He muttered.

I sighed before looking at Neptune. "Let me guess, you are the type of guy who flirts with the ladies?"

"Hey, how did you know that?" Sun asked as Neptune looked surprised.

"He reminds me of a friend of mine," I answered. "The look in the eyes was how I know. My friend back home had that same look in the eyes. You two are basically alike when it comes to that." I then said, "so what brings you two here?"

"We were transferred here from Haven Academy." Sun explained. "And right now we wanted to explore around. You wanna come along?"

"Huh? Me?" I asked.

"Yeah, you seem like an okay guy and know your way around. Plus Neptune here won't flirt with you, unless he rolls that way."

"Dude, seriously!" Neptune cried.

"Hey, I just don't want to see you flirt while being shown around the school." Sun raised his hands in defense.

I began to laugh at the two. It was like looking at a mirror with Neptune acting the way Zack does while Sun reminds me a bit of myself when he talks to Neptune. "What are you laughing about?"

"You two definitely remind me of Zack and myself." I laughed before reaching in my pocket and pulled out one of the photos I carried with me before I ended up in Remnant, showing myself when I was a junior in high school and a teen my age with his arm over my shoulder giving a peace sign and a grin. He has messy brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a black vest, white short-sleeve dress shirt with a loose black tie, and black pants. "That's Zack, my best friend for the past 4 years."

Sun looked at the photo then looked at Neptune. "He does look like the type of guy who would flirt with the girls." he agreed.

"Oh believe me, he flirts with a lot of girls but nearly got his butt kicked one time for flirting with a girl who was already in a relationship."

"Didn't that happen to you too, Neptune?" Sun asked.

"How was I supposed to know?" Neptune argued. Yep, Neptune definitely reminds me of Zack.

"So you guys wanna head to town?" I asked.

"Count us in."

Once we made it to the city, we began to walk around telling them about Beacon while Ankh wanted to do his research for those unknown Core Medals. Ankh was taking the search very seriously since the Greeed were unaware of the three unknown Core Medals. Right now we were at a cafe as Neptune, Sun, and I were at a table.

The moment Neptune waved at a group of girls, they giggled as they waved back. "Never gets old." Sun said.

"What can I say?" Neptune shrugged with a smirk.

"You really do remind me of Zack," I chuckled. "I can see why you and Sun are good friends."

We began to talk to one another about our days in the respective Combat schools. It felt nice talking to the two. It felt like I was at home talking to my friends. Sun was now eating another banana while Neptune brought up a question. "So Enrique, what's it like being with Team RWBY?"

"It's fun. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are good friends to hang out with." I answered. "Even though I sleep in a different dorm room since I'm also a… Solo team."

"What about Blake?" Sun asked.

"She's a good friend to hang out with too. We often talk to each other and such." I then lowered my voice that only the two could hear. "I don't care if she's a Faunus, you guys. To me, she's a normal person that I became friends with when I started my day in Beacon."

"Sounds like you care about her." Sun said.

"Of course, she's my friend. She looks out for me and I help her out." I replied with a small smile.

That was then the two had a grin as I took a sip from my drink.

"Do you like Blake?" Sun asked.

Wait what!?

This caused me to spit my drink to the side before looking at the two with a small blush. "W-what are you guys talking about!? We only been friends since the initiation." I stammered. "Of course I care about Blake, but liking her? Come on, do I look like the type of guy that goes after girls like that?"

"Nah, that's more Neptune's style," Sun remarked.

"Hey, what can I say? I know what the ladies like," Neptune winked and smiled, causing his teeth to shine with a 'ping'.

Seriously, how does that even work?

"Blake and I, we're just friends," I insisted.

"Great, so then you wouldn't mind if I asked her to the dance," Sun said.

And that was when I nearly dropped out of my seat.

"Dance? What dance?" I questioned.

"Oh, there's supposed to be this dance for the students at Beacon. A party to celebrate the upcoming Vytal Festival," Sun explained. "We're supposed to be bringing dates."

"And you want to ask Blake?" I asked carefully.

"Yeah, think she'll go for it?" Sun asked back.

"Dude, if you want to take a girl to a dance, you have to be well-dressed, with a suit and tie," Neptune advised.

"Seriously? Do you see me wearing those dang neck traps?" Sun shot back.

"And a decent shirt," Neptune added.

"He's right about that." I said. "But I don't know if Blake will accept plus she's been focused on what happened back at the docks… especially knowing the fact the Yummy that I beated was born from her desire."

"Yummy?" Neptune repeated.

"You're talking about the monster from before?" Sun recalled.

"Yeah, they are part of the Greeed. Creatures from 800 years ago that were brought back." I explained. "Ankh is one of them but the other Greeed hate him."

"Wait, then how come he be-"

"Human? He possessed a gravely wounded officer as he slowly heals him." I started. "And Ankh's Greeed form is only an arm. He's been trying to find his other Core Medals and get more Cell Medals to rebuild his real body."

"So that's why that thing exploded into those coins." Sun said.

"Yep and the Core Medals is what I use to fight." I then got into a serious expression. "But if the other four Greeed get all of their respective Core Medals back, they will be at full power and easily take over Remnant. Believe me..." I was reminded the time when Gamel and his Yummy caused the mayhem in the city a couple months back during the first semester. "It's not pretty when they are at full power or when you see a portion of their power…"

The two looked concerned at first upon hearing about the Greeed's capabilities before they looked at me. "Are you sure that you're not exaggerating."

"Trust me. If all four of the Greeed get their Core Medals, you might as well get ready to say goodbye to this world. That is why I am fighting the Greeed; to prevent them from taking over as well as protecting everyone and help them see that they should cherish with what they already have before they make a mistake, losing everything..."

"You're serious about the task." Sun said.

"I am," I nodded. "Ankh may be a Greeed but he is teaching me how to fight since he and the other Greeed were taught to fight 800 years ago. You can say they were the first Hunters."

"So you are being taught by him?"

"Yep but the training is intense but it helps me fight better by the day against the Greeed. That's why he's teaching me; be at the same fighting level as them." I then finished up my water before paying for the drink and snack. "Well, I should head back; it was nice meeting you guys. You definitely remind me of my friend, Neptune; just don't flirt too much." I chuckled at the last part before leaving.

Neptune and Sun watched Enrique leave before thinking back at his words. "Didn't think there was anything that are worse than the Grimm." Sun said.

"Right about that." Neptune nodded before having a grin. "But I am sure Enrique is into Blake, he's just doesn't even realize it."

"Your self-proclaimed 'love radar'?"

"Hey, it's perfectly sound. Besides, he looks like he has the whole world on his shoulders."

"Technically, he does."

"Well, yeah, but he needs to live a little. So, as his new bros, we're gonna help him get that date with Blake."

"Alright." Sun nodded. "I think to start, we should help him ask Blake to the dance."

"Never thought you would make that type of idea, coming from you, Sun." Neptune remarked.

"He may have got to the point first but might as well help out." he shrugged.

Meanwhile at Beacon, Ankh continued his research for the missing Core Medals since the day he learned about them. It irritates him that most leads took him back to square one. "Where are those damn Medals…?" He scowled in irritation.

The book said that the alchemist created them but also held onto them. Then there was a log talking about the Dust, the Greeed, the days of the people and alchemists, etc.

That was then something clicked.

He grabbed the book and read the log about those Core Medals again. He took notice of the writing; it was similar to another log.

Flipping the pages, he stopped to the log that talked about the discovery of Dust within the mines. The writing on it was the exact same, showing that both logs came from the same person.

"The same alchemist who created the Core Medals discovered Dust…" He muttered.

Now the snow girl, Weiss kept bragging that her family was the largest Dust company in Remnant. Could there be a connection between her family and the alchemist?

"Could it be…?"

He grabbed his Scroll and search any matching related to the Schnee Dust Company.

He looked at news articles and photos as he scroll through each one. One image caught his attention.

A photo with Mr. Schnee along with Kougami himself. The article was about discussing joint operation with Kougami denying the offer.

He zoomed at the photo and squinted his eyes only for them to widen. Behind the two was a desk and a wall but hanging on the wall was a glass casing held none other than the unknown Core Medals.

A smirk appeared on his lips. "So… Schnee's ancestor was the very same alchemist that made those three Core Medals and discovered Dust." He mused. All he had to do was one thing that he and Enrique, by force, will have to do.

Steal the Core Medals.

Night has occurred as the White Fang were moving crates within an old warehouse. "Oh, look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce!" Roman said as he approaches the two from behind and wraps his arms around them in a group hug.

"Spare us the thought of you procreating." Emerald stated as Torchwick let them both go and approached his desk.

"That was a joke and this..." Torchwick held up a piece of paper. "Just might tell me where you've two have been all day."

"Wait, what?" Emerald checked her pockets to find her paper missing.

"I'm a professional sweetheart, pay attention maybe you'll learn something." Torchwick taunted before looking at the paper. "Why do you have this address?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald stated avoiding the question.

"Yeah I would, now where've you been all day?" Torchwick questioned only for Mercury to suddenly cut in.

"Cleaning up your problem. One of them at least."

"I had that under control." Torchwick growled, glaring at Mercury and Emerald threateningly.

"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise." Mercury taunted.

"Listen you little punk." Torchwick said pointing at Mercury. "If it were up to me I would take you and your little street rat friend here and I would..."

"Do what Roman?"

Roman looked up to see Cinder with her fiery eyes and her accursed new partner she had introduced him to; It was Kazari in his human form. Kazari looked down at Roman with a grin as the platform lowered and the duo stepped off, with Torchwick having fear in his eyes.

"Come on, Roman." Kazari taunted. "What were you gonna finish?"

Roman laughed nervously. "I'd, uh… not kill them?" he stuttered.

"Cinder!" Emerald said excitedly. Her and Mercury looking at the woman with admiration and respect however, Kazari was different.

"I thought I made it clear that you were to eliminate the would be runaway." Cinder stated as she and Kazari walked towards Roman.

"I was going to but..." Roman was cut off by Emerald.

"He was going to escape to Vacuo, Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat." Emerald bragged.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Kazari wagged his finger. "Didn't Cinder instruct you both to keep your hands clean while being here in Vale?" He circled the two, making them tense. "After all you wouldn't want to disappoint her, more importantly…" he went into his Greeed form. "Me? Uva, Mezool, and luckily Gamel aren't aware of our doings since I am stalling them."

"I, we just thought..." Emerald began to say only for Cinder to continue.

"Don't think, obey." Cinder said calmly, making Kazari chuckle in amusement. Kazari's Yummies obey him and Cinder was like him in a way towards the two.

"Yes ma'am, it won't happen again." Emerald answered, lowering her gaze.

"Hope so…" Kazari turned his head to Roman along with Cinder. "And Roman, why wasn't the job done sooner?"

"I would like to know as well." Cinder agreed.

Roman simply motioned around him showing off the boxes full of Dust. "Sorry if I've been a little busy stealing every speck of dust in the Kingdom. Look around, I've got this town running scared. Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more Dust, crystals, vials, and rounds then we know what to do with." Roman sighed and turned to face Cinder and Kazari.

"Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand Master plan. It might make my next string of robberies go a little smoother." Torchwick growled in anger with the uncertainty.

"Oh Roman, have a little faith. You'll know what you need, when you need to know." Cinder said in an alluring tone as she cupped Torchwick's chin in her hand locking eyes with him. "Besides we're done with Dust."

"Ooookay then what now?" Roman asked as Cinder turned and walked away softly back to Kazari who went back into his human form and smiled.

"We're moving, have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight." Cinder said as she turned and started to leave.

"Coordinates?" Roman repeated in question.

"We are proceeding to phase two." Kazari mused as Cinder, Emerald, Mercury walked away with him looking at Roman. "Oh and Roman, try not to anger the ones you work for after all…" he presented a Cell Medal. "You wouldn't want to be a Yummy much like the ones that I created before right? I did remember Uva making a Yummy from you the day you robbed a Dust store."

Roman frowned, "I rather be myself than be an… animal-thing or whatever you call it."

"Wise choice." Kazari said before absorbing the Cell Medal and followed Cinder before he spoke up. "Your people know when to obey. That is what I enjoy with an acceptable partner like yourself."

Cinder had a satisfied smile.

"So, your plan to infiltrate Beacon will begin." he said. Cinder nodded before Kazari looks at Mercury and Emerald. "Don't try anything that will end the plan. You may be scott-free from Cinder but not me… we Greeed rather have things complete than empty. Do I make myself clear?"

The predatory gleam in Kazari's eyes made Emerald and Mercury lower their heads. They slowly nodded, leaving him with a satisfied grin. "Good. Now let's make sure the pieces fall right. After all, like Cinder said, 'don't think, obey.'"

"So he is becoming more powerful during his stay here…" Ironwood said with interest as he watches the clips of the Full Combos.

"We're going to break into the Schnee Manor," Ankh said bluntly.

"Nice to meet you, Enrique. I'm Cinder Fall. " She introduced herself as I felt a blush coming up.
