Chapter Twenty-Six: Harvest Fires.
Weiss sighed in exasperation as she watched her hyper wolf bounce from booth to booth, a wide smile plastered on her face and tail whipping back and forth at a rapid pace. They had barely gotten to the festival grounds and Ruby had already checked out half the booths as she zipped around. "Ruby slow down." The Heiress called trying to get her girlfriend to slow down.
"But Weiss it's sooooo coooool." Ruby called back as she zipped back, her silver eyes flashing with happiness. Behind her Weiss could hear Yang chuckling.
"Good luck Weiss." Yang laughed as she patted the Heiress shoulder shaking her head. "You're going to have your hands full tonight." Weiss sighed and shook her head and before Ruby could bounce away again she snagged the wolf by the hood of her cape and pulled her back trying her best to ignore the extremely cute whines that were coming from the younger girl.
Squaring Ruby up to her Weiss took in her girlfriend; her usual black and red outfit had been switched out for a dark gray long sleeved shirt, with a black pinafore that had red laces up the sides, her skirt was red with a large black rose printed on the side, and on her head rested a large Grimm mask that resembled a Beowolf. "Ruby you need to slow down, we're going to be here for a while there's no need to see everything at once." Ruby sighed but nodded as she latched onto the Heiress arm.
"So who wants to check out the food before we hit the games?" Yang asked as she looked around, she too had changed outfits. The blonde now had a cream colored to with a black half jacket, a black belt hung loosely on her hips on top of a short black skirt, black stocking cover her legs with her emblem printed in gold on them. "I heard from Nora that there's a stand that sells some killer crepes. And I know the Morris' have a ramen stall here too so we could get ramen and crepes for dinner."
"Mr. Morris' tuna ramen was really good." Blake idly commented thought her amber eyes darted around looking for the ramen stand. She too had changed outfits too, she now had a white zip up jacket that had a v neck that dipped down showing off hints of her cleavage and her midriff. The jacket had caused Yang to walk into a wall at several points but that was its purpose after all. Long black pant were tucked into her black calf boots.
"Well food does sound good." Weiss commented as she looked down at her own outfit. A white double-buttoned jacket with black accents, a white skirt with black frills, white calf high boots finished out the outfit, her black stalking just peeking out above them. The Heiress had caught her wolf eye that portion of her legs from time to time causing odd shivers to shoot up her spine.
"Oh, oh. I saw the Morris' stall over towards the art booths." Ruby supplied as she jumped up and down. "We can get the ramen and look at all of the crafts for sale." With a smile she proceeded to drag the Heiress by the arm towards where she had indicated, Weiss followed along with a roll of her eyes Yang and Blake behind her with twin smirks.
Once they had reached the booth, sat down and ordered Ruby bounced in her seat looking out over the crafts near by when a voice called over towards them. "Hey you guys." Sun smiled as he and his team sauntered up to the stall.
"Hey Sun." Ruby smiled as the monkey and his team reached them, Weiss noticed that her wolf's eyes narrowed slightly when they landed upon Neptune but with a quick squeeze of her hand Ruby returned to her usual bubbly self. "How was your last mission?"
"A right pain." Sage sighed as he sat down in on a stool, "If you ever get a mission that calls for herding along with protection, run."
"Oh it wasn't that bad." Sun laughed as he patted his teammates back, "I mean we got to see all those baby calves."
Scarlet looked at his leader as if the monkey had lost his mind, "Sun did you forget that we were chased by that one bull for nearly three hours? Or that those Creeps made it almost impossible to sleep for a descent amount of time?"
"Not to mention crossing all of those rivers." Neptune shuddered slightly, "And that stupid Hicrocs nest on the last one, I nearly lost an arm to those."
Sun shrugged, "But you didn't. And you only hated crossing those rivers cause you're afraid of water."
"Ah, ah, ah," Neptune held up a hand in correction of his leader, "I'm not afraid of water, just find it concerning that Grimm can hid in it." Sun rolled his eyes while Sage and Scarlet snickered.
"Wait your name is Neptune and your afraid of water?" Yang asked her brow furrowing as if she was trying to decide if she should laugh or be concerned for the blue haired boy.
"Yes the irony is strong with that one." Sun chuckled while Neptune muttered under his breath. Yang finally decided that it was better to laugh and started to shake her head as their food arrived.
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up blondie." Neptune groaned as his team ordered, "So do you know when your next mission will be?"
Ruby shrugged, "Well they don't usually give first years missions that often unless there's an influx of them and the upper years can't handle them all. Usually they don't assign them until the end of terms. We only went on that first one because Beacon got inundated with so many requests that they had to push more down to us." Beside her Weiss cringed as she remembered the wounds Ruby had suffered because of their fist mission.
"Oh," Sun nodded, "I thought it was weird that they sent first years out but since Beacon is the best I just thought it was normal for them."
"I thought the same." Scarlet nodded, "We didn't go on our first mission until our first year almost ended. And I know Shade doesn't send anyone out until halfway through second year. Never heard what Atlas Academy does."
"Atlas only sends out their third and fourth years." Weiss answered, "The first two years are spent focusing on engraining their military practices into students. Once they hit their third year teams are expected to carry out one mission every month, in their fourth students are expected to complete solo missions as well." Everyone looked at Weiss with questioning looks to which she shrugged, "My family expected me to attend Atlas Academy before I came to Beacon."
"So if they expect all of that why aren't there more Atlas Hunter?" Yang asked after she swallowed a large slurp of noodles. "I mean Atlas Hunters are few and far between."
This time Blake answered, "After their schooling, Atlas graduates are expected to enter the Atlas military, and since they have been engrained with military ideals and habits many of them join. Those that do are called Specialist and those that don't either leave Mantel to become registered Hunters in the other kingdoms or join militias for companies to protect their interest."
"Yes, and many of them are placed at the remote mines or refineries so they don't hunt Grimm outside of their areas." Weiss added not looking up at the panther, she knew that they were also there to 'look after' the employees but now was not the time for that conversation.
"So is that what your sister did?" Ruby asked cocking her head to the side.
Weiss cringed again, "No. Winter originally took a position as Atlas Specialist but she also took on… jobs father could only trust to family." She noticed Blake narrow her eyes but before the Faunus could ask her question sirens started to wail loudly piercing the air causing people around them to pause.
Before anyone could react the ground bucked and shook sending many to the ground, a deep rumbling reverberated through the air causing people to cover their ears. When it ended Yang was the first one up looking around, "What the hell was that?"
As if to answer her question a loud thumping sounding out above them causing the young hunters to look up, Weiss felt her face drain of color as she caught the glint of a metal haul above them. "That's an Atlasian Battleship, what the hell is one of those doing here?"
Everyone watched as the guns of the Battleship opened fire upon the city causing the ground to once again buck and shake, finally people seemed to understand what was going on causing panic to rise as another volley fired again.
Gun fire could be heard from off to the left as people scrambled around them, "Is Atlas launching an attack?" Neptune frowned as he stood up shaking his head.
"That doesn't make sense Mantel and Vale are in good standing why would they attack?" Blake shook her head.
"OI, you lot, summon your weapons." Coco yelled out over they chaos as she ran over to them, "Someone hijacked the 'Eisen-Krieger' from the airfields."
"General Ironwood's ship?" Weiss paled even further, each of the Four Generals had the most powerful battleships in the Atlas military, the one with more firepower was the flagship the 'Gefrorene Nord Gott'. "How did they manage that?"
"Not the time to question how or why, but who ever did it also let in an ass load of Grimm in as well and we need to go plug up the holes before more of those shits get in." Coco shrugged off the question. "Now summon your weapons." Each person pulled out their scrolls and entered their commands, with in ten seconds eight lockers landed in front of them. "Unfortunately many of the third and fourth years are away so you guys are now under my command got it? Yes even SSSN, Sun, Ozpin's orders. I have JNPR and CRDL as well as some other first year teams evacuating people towards Beacon with Yatsu and Fox assisting them, Velvet's been called back to Beacon to assist with the wounded so you eight are with me. We're linking up with more teams to take a forward position and start to drive the Grimm back." The brunette paused as she expanded her scroll and pulled up a map with several red dots on it, "Each of these dots are confirmed holes. Sun, you lead your team to this one, if you can seal it up do it, if not hold it until Goodwitch, Port or Peach arrive to close it."
Sage nodded as he hefted his sword on his shoulder, "I can take care of that as long as the rubble remains."
"Right let's go guys." Sun ordered as his team took off running,
Coco turned back to the younger team, "You four are with me. There's a larger hole towards the center of Vale and we're going to hold it until closed. Don't suppose any of you have a useful semblance that could close it?"
Ruby, Yang and Blake shook their heads while Weiss hesitated, "My glyphs might work but I wouldn't count on it." Coco sighed but nodded.
"Aright let's go kick some ass." Coco's grin widened as she headed off towards where the large whole was with Ruby and her team right behind her.
The five girls ran through the streets watching for any Grimm that strayed into the path, most that did found themselves on the receiving end of a heavy swing from Coco's handbag which would generally send them crashing through walls.
Behind the wild brunette Yang gave a low whistle, "You know I never knew weapons could be fashionable."
"Well if you're going to be a hero then you should always look you best for the pictures." Coco laughed back as they entered the large courtyard; a giant gaping hole in the middle had Grimm of all sizes crawling out it. "Now let's get to work." The older girl swung her handbag down and triggered its transformation. Ruby watched with wide eyes as the small bag expanded into a four foot long, six barreled Gatling gun. "Say hello to my little friend."
Any Grimm that found themselves unfortunate enough to be at the end of Coco's weapon when she pulled the trigger disintegrated from the torrent of bullets the gun unloaded. As the brunette swept the area more Grimm fell apart allowing team RWBY to jump into combat. Crescent Rose barked out as Ruby jump into the air slicing down on a group of Creeps, the singing Myrtenaster sounded out as Weiss slid and speared any of the Grimm that evaded her wolf's attacks.
A beowolf that had been distracted the red and white duos attack found a black ribbon wrapping around it's neck then jerked off it's feet towards a large black cleaver that took its head off it's body. While Yang plowed through a group of Ursa, her blonde hair flicking with fire.
The five girls slowly made their way towards the hole the Grimm falling to their weapons. By the time they reached the hole each of them were breathing heavily and sweat was dripping down their faces but the area was clear of Grimm. "Square up, nothing gets past." Coco barked out.
"Right." Each of the girls replied. As they took their positions Team RWBY reloaded their weapons, while Coco folded hers back into the handbag.
"Err, Coco shouldn't you keep in it gun form?" Yang asked as she peered down into the hole, she could make out what looked like old abandoned track fair below.
Coco shook her head as she wiped some sweat from her eyes, "Can't. Cadenza has to cool down after a period of extended fire or I run the risk of rupturing one of the barrels. And I can't summon my locker right now so I need to conserve ammo."
"Just don't let Ruby talk you into letting her copy it, she already has a high powered sniper scythe she doesn't need to add a Gatling function for it." Yang laughed causing the wolf to cry out in annoyance.
Coco just laughed as she shook her head, "Tell you what Red, I'll let you help me clean it so you can get a good look at everything once we're done here, deal?"
"Deal!" Ruby chimed out making Weiss groan.
"Ruby Rose you are not adding a Gatling function to your weapon." The Heiress huffed.
"Awwwww, but Weiiisss!" The wolf whined. Blake shook her head glad it was Weiss' job to control her Alpha's craziness right now.
The panther peered down into the hole spotting more Grimm coming towards them, "Look alive everyone, we've got another wave incoming."
Each of the girls prepared for the next wave when a rumbling came from above again. Eyes were drawn upward as they watched the large Battleship once again opened fire but this time on a few smaller ships that had surrounded it, when the shots landed the smaller ships erupted into balls of flames sending them crashing to the ground, one of the fire balls fell towards them.
"SCATTER!" Coco screamed.
Ruby watched with wide eyes as the flaming ship crashed down towards them. Slipping into her semblance the wolf took off towards her partner, she was not going to let Weiss get hurt here. As she reached the Heiress Ruby wrapped her arms around the girl's middle and ran towards cover. Coco ran towards the same cover as the wolf reaching it only seconds after the red and white duo.
Yang and Blake had been on the far side of the hole and took off running towards a different piece of cover only just barely making it before the ship crashed into the ground sealing the hole in the ground with its twisted and flaming wreckage. The ground bucked and shook around them causing several already compromised buildings to crumble and fall. The blonde covered her girlfriend as she felt a wave of heat wash over them.
When the shaking stopped Yang looked down at the black haired girl bundled in her arms, "You okay Kitten?"
Blake coughed but nodded, "I'm fine Yang. You?" Amber eyes ran over her critically looking for any signs of damage.
"I'm the one that's fireproof." Yang grinned, "Come on we need to get to Ruby and Weiss." As she pushed off the ground Yang felt a pain lance through her calf causing her to buckle to her knees as she cried out.
"Yang!" Blake cried as she caught the blonde. Looking down at her left leg the panther felt her heart race. In Yang's leg was a piece of jagged metal embedded in the flesh digging deep into the muscle bleeding profusely. "Oh shit. Alright, Yang, don't move."
"Yeah I got that." Yang panted as she tried to twist to see what had happened but was stopped by Blake. "Blake?"
"No don't move." Blake ordered as she reached down and unbuckled the belt around the blonde's hips, "Don't even think about making a sexual joke right now I'm trying to stop you from bleeding out." Yang's mouth clicked shut as Blake looped the belt above the wound. "I'm going to apply a lot of pressure so this is going to hurt, just bare with it okay?"
Yang nodded and Blake pulled hard against the belt tightening it down against her leg making the brawler groan slightly. Once the belt was tight Blake place another hole in the belt allowing it to stay tight. "Alright I'm going to try and find the others. Don't move."
"Don't think I could." Yang groaned. Leaning down Blake placed a gentle kiss on the blonde's lips before standing up and looking around. Twisted metal and rubble from the buildings littered the area; the main body of the downed airship covered the hole and cut off her direct path to the other. Fire's burned all around them filling the air with toxic fumes and smoke. The panther's eyes and nose burned from the combination hanging in the air.
With one last glance at Yang, Blake started out trying to find away through the wreckage. It was slow going as she had slip by burning rubble and sharp jagged metal that tore at her shirt and pants and she had to double back more than once when she hit a dead end. With a frustrated growl Blake decided on one more path before she tried to use her semblance to find a way out when a soft chuckle sounded out behind her.
A cold spike of ice shot down the panther's spine as she froze. She knew that chuckle, she had heard it for her entire life. Once it had been a welcome sound making her feel happy and safe but now it was a ghost that haunted her dreams that reminded of her sins and the pain she caused. Blake slowly reached for her weapon as he spoke causing her to freeze again, "Hello my love. You can't imagine how happy I am to see you again."
Slowly Blake turned to face her tormentor, he was just as she remembered, flaming red hair with his horns just barely showing, black jacket and pants and his eyes covered a mask, a large smirk on his face. "Adam." Blake practically hissed.
"Oh my it seems that you're not as happy as I am." Adam's smirk widened, "You know you really hurt me that day you just left me on that train. I really couldn't believe that you betrayed everything we stood for. Everything your parents stood for."
"I never betrayed what they fought for, you're the one who twisted and perverted their ideals." Blake snarled.
Adam laughed, "No I took their ideals to heights that they never imagined. I've led the White Fang to become a true force of reckoning. I've started a revolution!"
"You led us into becoming terrorist, people don't see the White Fang as a revolution but a plague." Blake yelled back, "You destroyed everything we worked for, people now look at Faunus with fear."
"AS THEY SHOULD!" Adam screamed, "They are inferior to us! We are the apex predator and they should fear us!"
"Fear solves nothing." Blake shook her head, she needed to end this conversation and get to the others, if she didn't Yang could bleed out.
"Fear is everything." Adam growled, his hand going to this hilt of his sword. "You betrayed us, Blake and for that you have to pay." Blake took her stance, she knew Adam's style of fighting; quick and precise cuts delivered faster than they eye could follow. She had spared against him to know she couldn't rely on her eyes but rather her instincts to block his attacks. But he also knew her style of fighting and how she used her semblance in tandem with it.
A twitch of the bull's lips was all the warning Blake had as Adam shot forward. Whipping her katana blade up into position just in time to block Wilt at her neck as the her clever blade came up in front for her to block the barrel of Bush just as it fired.
Using her semblance Blake jumped behind Adam knowing he would follow. Just as she landed Wilt whipped up again at neck level, summoning another shadow Blake pushed herself into a back flip allowing the red blade to pass through the shadow's neck. While in the air the panther flicked her wrist changing her katana into it's gun form and threw it at the bull's exposed leg. She landed and pulled the ribbon back towards herself setting the cloth tight throwing Adam off his balance.
A look of surprise crossed the bull's face as his leg suddenly slipped forward almost sending him to the ground but with a quick step he caught himself leveling Bush with Blake. Blake was forced to fall to the ground on her back to avoid the shot as it passed by her face, unfortunately her dodge had given Adam the time he needed to untangle himself from Gambol Shroud. Before she could roll back to her feet Adam was tower over her Wilt held in his hand and a deep frown on his face. "You shouldn't have left, my love." Flipping his sword into a reverse grip Adam prepared to drive the blade into the panther.
A snarl filled the air as Adam was tackled away from Blake by a streak of red, aura petals fell around her as Blake watched in surprise as Ruby rolled to the ground and kicked Adam up into the air, "NOW." The wolf called out as a high pitched whine filled the air as a streak of white shot up after the bull, Adam had just enough time to block Weiss as she attacked with Myrtenaster. The Heiress attack forced him back towards the ground as she flipped back onto a glyph suspended in the air. As the bull fell Coco took up her position below him, a wicked grin on her face.
"BATTER UP!" The brunette's grin widened as she pulled back her handbag only to swing it forward just as Adam reached the right level. The crack of the impact shook the air as the bull was set rocketing back into the air and away from the group. "And that ladies is what's called a Home Run."
"Blake are you alight?" Ruby asked as she came running up the black haired girl. "Who was that? Where's Yang? Did you guys get separated? Is she hurt?"
"Ruby let her speak." Weiss sighed as she walked up to them pulling Ruby back slightly. Blake noticed a few cuts and scrapes one each of her teammates; Ruby had a few scratches along her left cheek while Weiss had cut away her right sleeve and used the cloth to bind a gash on her right bicep. Coco still looked the stoic fashionista with not a hair out of place.
"I'm fine Ruby." Blake explained as she stood up, "Yang is back over there, she got wounded when the ship came down, we need to get her out of here quickly."
Ruby nodded and motioned for Blake to show them where Yang was as Coco called for a ground medical team. Once they reached the blonde Coco helped the panther as they shifted Yang into a more comfortable position as they waited for the medics. "So what are we going to do about that?" Yang asked as she pointed towards the still flying Battleship in the air. It had stopped firing after the initial ship to ship attack but whether it was from lack of ammo or damage the girls couldn't really tell.
Before anyone could answer the blonde a bright green light filled the night sky. The light was focused into a beam as it streaked through the air and striking the Battleship in the side, for a moment the beam seemed to hesitate before bursting through the opposite side. Fire erupted a long the sides of the ship as the beam dissipated leaving a burning hole.
Even from their distance from the ship the girls could hear it's wailing sirens as it listed to the side and slowly started to drift towards the ground, they watched it as it fell from the sky towards the outer district of Vale. When it dipped below the buildings so they could no longer see it a giant fireball erupted into the sky, which was quickly followed by a deep rumble that shook the ground.
"What the hell was that?" Yang blinked as if she was still trying to understand what they had seen.
"I have no idea, but I'm glad it's on our side." Coco answered as the medical team arrived.
Ozpin sat heavily at his desk his head in his hands. They had only just barely adverted a disaster. How someone had actually succeeded in hijacking James' Battleship was disturbing, that that someone had then proceeded to use the Battleship against his city was infuriating, but he would deal with that later. Right now he had to make sure the people of Vale were safe.
Fortunately his students and professors had been able to hold the Grimm back long enough to seal the holes and casualties had been kept at a minimum thanks to their efforts. The damage to the buildings wasn't as bad as it looked as much of the damage was superficial and the structures where still sound. The only reason it wasn't any worse was because James' had sacrificed his ship in order to bring it down.
Originally Ozpin was a little leery of the girl James had brought with him, though he was also admittedly impressed too. She was designed to be the ultimate killing machine, exceedingly lethal but was wrapped up in an innocent skin that was meant to get one to lower their guard. A mechanical wolf in syntactic sheep's skin.
"James what the hell happened out there?" Glynda yelled as she stormed into the office. Qrow was stalking behind her looking absolutely murderous as he glared at the General.
"We're looking into it." James replied, he still had no idea how someone had hijacked the 'Eisen-Krieger'.
Qrow snorted as he leaned against a wall continuing to glare at the man, "Just how you were 'looking into that small Grimm nest' before Summer went after it?"
James glared back at the man, "I warned Summer she shouldn't go, I told her it was too dangerous and that she should wait for back up. But she was just too damn stubborn to listen."
"Don't you dare insinuate Summer was a fool and got herself killed." Glynda yelled, "You were hiding something from her then just as you're hiding it from us still!"
"I warned her!" James fired back, "She was a friend and she should have listened."
Glynda's glare hardened but before she could speak Ozpin slammed his hands down on his desk, "Enough." His voice cracked through the air drawing all eyes to him. "The past is not the problem right now, right now we have to focus on what we are going to do now." With a collective nod the older man turned his gaze to the General, "Now James please explain just what is Penny."
James Ironwood took a heavy sigh before closing his eyes, "Penny Polendina is an artificially created Huntress developed by Dr. Carlo Collodi. She is the culmination of years of work and the final product of Project 'Marionette'. She also as a fully functional Aura."
Glynda paled at his words and Qrow who was halfway through a swing of his drink spit it out causing him to cough. Ozpin narrowed his eyes, "Explain."
"I have no idea how Dr. Collodi did it, he wouldn't tell me if his life depended on it. All I know is that she as an Aura and is able to wield it."
"What the fucking hell?" Qrow yelled as he finally go his coughing under control, "You're telling us a robot has a soul? What the fuck are those bastards up to?"
"What was Project 'Marionette's original premise?" Glynda asked ignoring Qrow's ranting.
"Project 'Marionette' was only suppose to create an artificial intelligence that could reason and function independently in the field as a back up to a group of Hunters." Ozpin explained as he sat down running though the implications of Penny's existence. "Dr. Collodi was not the original head of the project, Dr. Petto was, if she could see what her project became she'd be livid."
"So we have a fucking robot with a soul." Qrow sighed, "Great just fucking great. Who even funded that project?"
"Schnee." James explained making Qrow launch into another rant.
"Schnee! That fucking bastard didn't learn his lesson with 'Leviathan' that he still wants to play God? What the hell his he playing at?" Qrow was practically spiting fire.
"Qrow enough we'll deal with him when we have to." Ozpin sighed, of course Schnee was the man behind the project. That man would never learn to not play with things above his power.
"We might have to deal with him sooner than you think." James shook his head, "Mantel is on the edge of a revolution and with Schnee and his men pushing the people to the breaking point it won't be long before something snaps."
Qrow snorted, "Then let the people take his head. Gods know he deserves it."
"You're condemning innocent people to die." James argued back, "We need to stop this before that happens."
"It's going to happen anyways Jimmy." Qrow rolled his eyes, "There only so much that the people can take before they finally push back."
"Be that as I may they are still my countrymen and I won't condemn them to die needlessly." James shook his head.
"We have many things to deal with but we need more players," Ozpin sighed as he looked at the others. "Qrow have you found Raven yet?"
"You know how Raven is," Qrow shook his head, "She only shows up when she wants to."
"What does Raven have to do with any of this?" James asked as he looked around.
Glynda sighed as she sat down across from Ozpin, "Raven showed up a few weeks back."
"What did she want?" James continued to press.
"She was looking for 'Prometheus'." Ozpin explained, "I tried to assure her that it was long dead but she seemed to think otherwise."
"'Prometheus' has been dead for sixteen years." James sounded baffled, "I confirmed it with Summer. She even showed me the body."
"She seemed convinced otherwise and I asked Qrow to find her and ask her why." Ozpin continued, "And with all of these other projects we thought long dead cropping up I'm starting to wonder the same thing."
"'Prometheus' was another one of Schnee's maybe he hid it like he did with 'Leviathan'." Qrow supplied.
"We all know why he hid 'Leviathan' and hate the man all you want but don't deny that that project came at a huge cost to him." James growled, he had no love for Schnee himself but he would admit that 'Leviathan' had cost him greatly.
"If it did he never showed it." Glynda shook her head.
Ozpin leaned back in his chair as the other's fell silent, three projects all connected to Schnee, two were assumed scrapped, one being killed by Summer the other being pulled by the man himself and the other coming to fruition just as someone attacked Vale. Was it coincidence or a planed move? With a sigh Ozpin shook his head, "We need answers and we're not finding any by just sitting here staring at each other. We need a plan."
A/N: Well that happened... Yes all the girls were in their alt outfits in this bit because I could and I actually like them more than their original outfits. Well now Blake knows Adam's around, how will she handle this and what will be the fallout of his attack? What will Oz and the other do about these problems and what does Raven know?
With that: Thanks to everyone from the bottom of my heart, please tell me what you think, and may your day be sunny and bright.
