16. Chapter 15

Hello there my fellow readers, after a busy month or so I've finally gotten to finishing this chapter and I have to apologize for the wait along with thanking you all for the patients for this chapter. Now beforehand I'm gonna say that I was going to make this the last part of the Tarzan arc for team RWBY, but I decided to make it the next chapter to be the last one for the Tarzan arc. One because this chapter was already getting a little too long. Two I had been re-watching the Tarzan movie, you know so I can get the scenes and dialog correct; along with what scenes to alter to work the story more. Anyways I'll let you off now to read this chapter, I hope you like it because this one was a little hard to write up and if there are grammar errors. I do apologies for that, it's just hard to find all of them; but I tried my best at it along. I also should apologize for the descriptions in this chapter, like I say I'm not the best when it comes to describing stuff.

NO ONWARDS TO READING MY FELLOW READERS!

I do NOT own anything in these two series. RWBY which belongs to RT/ Mounty Oum and Kingdom Hearts which belongs to Square Enix/Disney, along with any worlds and characters including in this story; be them cannon/ added in

Four Hearts of one Journey

Ch. 15: The Jungle and ape man Pt.3

"Mercury, Emerald, Roman how's thing been going with learning about our new 'friends'?" Cinder asked as she put emphasis on the term friends. She, Roman, Mercury and Emerald were currently in their quarters given to them by Maleficent. Though Cinder made sure along with the rest with her, that the room didn't have any bugs in it or in this case heartless creeping around listening in on their conversation

"Just as well as you think Cinder, most of them are tight lipped. Though oddly nice enough to respond to us with vague answers." Roman responded as he scratched his cheek in boredom "Guess they aren't as stupid as you had originally thought."

"Shut up Roman!" Emerald yelled angrily as she kicked him in the shin, making the man cringe in pain as Emerald then looked back at Cinder with star filled eyes of praise; while grasping her hands together "I bet Cinder her has another great plan with that wonderful mind of hers, oh yes she does!"

"God you are such a boot licker." Mercury stated with a annoyed look, but got punched in the face by Emerald's right fist while she still was praising Cinder

"You shut up too, who are you both to question Cinder and her decisions." Emerald sternly replied back as she gave Mercury a glare, then looked back at Cinder yet again with eyes full of praise and absolute devotion "Just to say, I'll follow your plans even to the gates of heaven and the gates of hell themselves. I'll follow you till the end Cinder. You bet I will!"

"My god, you have such a crush." Roman said in a loud manner on purpose. Only for Emerald to get up and then kick him in his…area. Making the man wince in sudden pain "AHHH!"

"Oh god, that's cruel Emerald even for you." Mercury stated nervously as he covered himself just in case Emerald tried the same, but all he got was a scowl from her

"That's why I did it moron…" Emerald muttered with a pouty face, then looked at Cinder with a sheepish smile "Just forget what these two idiots were saying. I just like you as a friend, I mean not that you're not amazingly attractive or anything."

"For real that sounded like a confession." Mercury remarked with a smirk, but then got lunged at by Emerald who was trying to punch and scratch at him by this point

"Shut up stupid, why do you always got to say stuff like that!" Emerald yelled out with a blush across her face, though as this happened Roman had healed quickly enough to moved up next to Cinder. Both him and Cinder looking at the teens with dead panned looks

"Tell me again why you keep them?" Roman asked as he wondered how Mercury and Emerald ever got into Cinders graces

"They have their uses." Cinder answered back quickly "Still I wanted to ask, but where's Neo. I haven't seen her around lately and when I do she looks like she's in another world of her own."

"Oh don't worry about it Cinder, look I agree with you that she's been off more than usual. But all she's been doing is just going into the library, she loves reading. So just give her that." Roman answered back with a serious tone as him and Cinder glared at one another for a few moments

"Fine, just make sure she at least comes to these meeting once in a while. She needs to keep up with our plans so when we put them into effect, then we'll have no slip ups." Cinder answered back as Roman sighed

"No problem, I'll make sure. Heck I'll go right now and explain it to her to ease your mind okay?" Roman suggested as Cinder huffed and waved her hand shooing him off. Roman then took that chance to leave. Once out of the room he made his way quickly to the library, thankfully the rest weren't here but back at their worlds doing whatever; so he wouldn't have to deal with them. Roman a minute later made it to the library and opened the door to see Neo reading up a large stack of books, which brought a smile to his face "How did I know you were here?"

"Celestia did you hear something?" Neo asked as she swore she just heard Roman, though couldn't tell because she was still reading her book while trying to figure it out

"I did Neo, Roman is here and think he was looking for you." Celestia kindly answered as Neo look up to see Roman, which made her smile widely to see her other best friend in the world "Well say hello back or you know what I mean."

"Oh right!" Neo embarrassingly stated as she gave Roman a wave of hello and a gesture to join her which Roman did as he took a seat up next to her

"So I see your into fairy tale books, not my cup of tea really but whatever makes you happy kiddo." Roma kindly said as he patted Neos head, making the girl smile in joy and Celestia giggled

"You two are great friends to each other, I'm glad that you have someone else other than me being kind to you. I hope one day I can meet Roman face to face." Celestia joyfully stated

"I know you will and then we can be the best three friends together!" Neo responded back with a very wide smile as she then continued enjoy her time with her two best friends in the world

-With Blake, Yang, Dante, Ikail and Donald-

"Well this is a more peaceful walk than I thought we'd have." Donald said happily, though also somewhat nervously as he, Blake, Yang, Ikail and Dante were making their way through the jungle to where Tarzan along with the rest of his family went

"It definitely is Donald, but that can be a good thing." Ikail responded back happily

"Easy for you to say Ikail, I mean yeah I hate fighting the heartless just like the rest of us. But I also have fun bashing them with my keyblade." Yang replied with a smirk

"Same here Yang!" Donald responded happily as he and Yang gave each other a high five

"You two sure are alike in that aspect." Blake stated with a sigh, but smiled a moment later "Still unlike Donald, Yang dear I think he has you beat in the academics department."

"Oh, she got you there Yang." Ikail said with a giggled

"Ouch, Blakey my love you wound me!" Yang yelled out dramatically as she fell into Blake's arms "Only…only i-if I receive a kiss from my true love shall I heal…"

"Then I shall my princess!" Blake stated in a proud tone, playing along with her girlfriend's theatrics as she then kissed Yang loving on the lips. Once she retracted she gave Yang a flirty smile "Are you okay my princess?"

"Yes I am, let bear your children!" Yang answered back as she hugged Blake tightly, making Blake smiled widely at her affection

"You two are so cute together." Ikail remarked with a smile, though she then noticed Dante was in his own thoughts. Muttering something as he held in his hand a neckless with a cross piece at the end "Dante?"

"Who art in heaven…" Dante muttered still as Ikail huffed a little, being ignored by Dante. By this point Donald, Blake and Yang had taken notice of this too

"Hey Dante, kind of rude of you ya know?" Donald said crossing his arms

"Thy kingdom come…" Dante muttered once more as he seemed focused on whatever he was doing

"Alright, a hit across the head should do him some good." Yang stated as she readied her keyblade to give her friend a light smack across the head. But she was stopped by Blake who pulled her cheek

"No Yang, he's just praying is all so let him finish and I'm sure he'll pay attention to us then." Blake explained as she let go of Yang's cheek, then gave her kiss on the same spit she just pinched "And that's my apology."

"Apology accepted, how could stay mad at that cute face of yours." Yang responded with a wide smile

"Amen." Dante said loudly as the others looked to see him look at them now, he gave off a sheepish smile from realizing he probably seemed a little rude just now while he was praying "Oh sorry about that, I was chanting one of the prayers I learned when I was a lad."

"That's okay, the others just thought you were ignoring us." Blake replied back

"Well yeah, but thankfully that isn't the case." Ikail said happily as she looked around and realized something. She, Guin, Donald, Goofy and the girls had told a good amount about each other. But Dante only told a little of his beliefs and a bit of his time as a solider in the crusades. But that was it, nothing else "Dante if you don't mind me asking, but care to tell us more about yourself?"

"I don't mind, but what is it you want to know?" Dante asked

"Maybe what that chant or prayer of yours was." Donald suggested as Dante smiled at that

"Sure, it's one of the more well know prayers. I mean all of them are, but this one is what you'd say is one of the easiest when I comes for children to learn." Dante explained

"Well I guess you can consider us children in that sense, would mind telling us it. We're curios, right gang?" Yang said joyfully as the others nodded in agreement "Well anytime you're ready Dante."

"Very well then friends." Dante responded back as he cleared his throat before repeating his prayer "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen."

"That was a nice prayer, I'm not a of a religious sort myself. Well I guess you could call the teachings of the Sith a sort of religion. Either way I've never been much of religious one, but I do like that pray of yours." Ikail kindly said as she gave Dante a flirty smile, though Dante seem completely oblivious to it

"Thank you Ikail, it's actually one of my favorites." Dante explained, then looked at the rest "What do you three think of it?"

"A little too choir like for me, but it does sound nice." Donald answered first as Dante gave him a nod of understanding

"For me and Yang here, we aren't the religious sorts either. Then again when it comes to that stuff, we never had much of it on Remnant. Hard to be religious when you're living in a constant worry of Grimm attacking." Blake answered as Yang nodded in agreement while the group seemed to be getting closer their destination

"That would make sense, maybe later on I can tell you some more about my religion." Dante remarked kindly

"I'd think that would be nice, but I'm just wondering how you're able to remember so much. I don't think I'd ever be able to remember as much you probably know." Donald said as Dante chuckled at that a little

"It was hard to learn and remember, but father was…hard on me to learn it." Dante explained as he seemed to grimace a little at that, though only Blake and Yang took notice of that

"You never spoke about your parents, what were they like if don't mind me asking?" Blake asked hoping she wasn't being noisy

"It's no issues, my father was a man of god…mostly. He was hard on me at times, though some of those times I was asking for it." Dante explained with a tone that sounded more like it was hiding repressed anger as he instinctively gabbed the top of his left arm a little

"Oh that's…nice." Yang awkwardly responded back as she, Blake, Ikail and Donald could see he was hiding more. But none of them wanted to bring it up if it wasn't needed to be, Yang though quickly tried to salvage the conversation "So what about your mom, what was she's like?"

"Kind and loving, though I she was only there until I was nine. She died from illness so it was mostly just me and my father." Dante explained with a somber tone as Yang face palmed herself

"Nice going me, nice going." Yang muttered as she couldn't believe that she made the situation only worse, but looked back up when as Dante patted her should with an understanding smile

"It's alright Yang, though might I ask about you and your little sisters parents?" Dante asked kindly

"If you don't mind of course, though I've been curious about that myself ever since we started our days at Beacon." Blake said as Donald and Ikail nodded in agreement wanting to know also

"I don't mind, you all obviously know that me and Ruby are sisters. Truth is we're only half sisters, but we still love each other despite that." Yang explained as the others were surprised by that

"Half-sisters, makes sense why you both don't look alike that much. But is it one mother and two different fathers or the other way around?" Ikail asked with curiosity

"Two different mothers, but Ruby's birth mom is the one that I consider my real mom." Yang answered with a serious tone

"What about yours Yang?" Donald asked, though realized a moment later how insensitive that sounded "Well I mean if you're okay with telling us that I mean…sorry."

It' ain't no problem Donald, but my birth mom…well she left after I was born. From what I remember being told my dad didn't take it well. Though after a few more years he became close with Ruby's birth mom and nine months later they had my baby sister, while having been wedded a few months prior; from what dad told me. But I didn't know about my birth mom until later on after a incident, I think Ruby was five and I was eight. I got mad about it, ran away for the day but was convinced to come back after another incident happened almost to me. After that I've made it one of my life goals to find her. This is the short version just to say, so I'm leaving out a few good chunks of information; but only because it's a time consuming story." Yang explained with a sigh as the rest of the group was glad she trusted them enough to tell this about herself

"We may not completely know how you feel Yang, but thanks for trusting us." Donald happily stated as he and Yang gave each other a hug

"You're my friends, so of course I'd tell ya. Though same goes for my kitten." Yang answered as she and Donald released one another from their hugs. Yang then gave Blake a heartfelt hug and kiss "Sorry I didn't tell you until now."

"It's alright, in all honesty what you just told us probably wasn't something easy to talk about. Though whenever the day comes, I think I'd like to see this mother of yours." Blake happily answered as she looked back at the others "And I'm sure she'd love to meet Dante, Guin, Ikail Donald, Goofy, me and Weiss too."

"I'm sure she would, she loved you all like family pretty quickly…but…well she died a while before I learned about my real mother. That actually was the incident that happened before I ran off. She was a huntress and went out for a mission to kill some Grimm's. She never came back though and when they did find her, it was just her white cloak and no body. Not even a hint of blood was seen. So yeah I don't think it be possible for any of you to meet her." Yang answered sadly as Blake frowned and hugged Yang tighter

"I'm so sorry dear, I didn't know…I'm so sorry…" Blake replied back with a regretful tone, but Yang just grabbed her face gently and kiss her on the forehead

"It's okay Blake, you didn't know so don't be blaming yourself for that." Yang answered kindly as Blake nodded understanding what she was going on about

"Mind if we ask what kind of woman she was Yang?" Donald carefully asked as Yang gave him a small nostalgic smile

"How she was, well mom was what you'd could call a super mom." Yang explained as she stopped in her tracks, making the rest stop too. Yang rubbed her left forearm as she continued her explanation "She was so nice, caring and to me along with Ruby; she always had a smile on her face no matter what the issues was. Mom would read bed times stories, bake sweets and all around was just loved doing things for us. But mom also could take down hordes of Grimm so easily from the stories and news articles we'd read. She was a hero you could say, always doing the jobs of killing Grimm just because she wanted to keep people safe. She was everything you could ask for in a mother. When…when she didn't come back our dad was devastated, I was devastated. But Ruby, she was crushed by it. She couldn't do anything for so many weeks. She refused to eat and looked like she wanted to die. The only reason I think she was able to pull was because of me. I was the big sister and even though I mourned just as much for mom's death. I knew I could handle it easier than her, so I stayed with her throughout the whole week having to force her to eat, go to the bathroom and I think you all can get the point. It's been so long since her death, Ruby still visits moms grave every year on the day she died with dad. I sometime come to when I can. But yeah there's your answer, our mom was an amazing person."

"She really did sound like a great woman, if it helps I lost my mom and dad when I was little. My uncle scourge took me and my sister in. So I can somewhat understand how you feel." Donald kindly said as Yang smiled back, though would ask more about this sister of his later on since she was curious now

"Well at least you both had parents, not that I'm bragging since trust me this ain't a bragging manner. But I didn't have a mother or father, I was an abandoned baby on the streets. I would have died, but thankfully I was found by a small clan of homeless folks that lived underground on the world I was born in. I'm still finding it surprising that I turned out the way I did, being so kind heart I mean and not bitter; but thankfully that might be because of those kind values those homeless folks taught me when I was growing up. When I turned seventeen, I left to make own life and was founded by a Sith inquisitor who felt my power in the force. You all know the rest, I just kept this part out because I didn't want to beforehand give you all too much information then. Though since we're all having a heart to heart this is a good time to do so, I'll tell the others back at the camp when we get the chance." Ikail explained with a warm smile, then she looked at Blake "What about you Blake?"

"Well ah…let's just say me and parents haven't seen each other in a while. It's not that I don't want to tell any of you, it's just hard to explain is all." Blake said with an apologetic and sheepish smile

"It's alright Blake, you can tell us later on or whenever you're comfortable enough to do so." Donald replied as Blake nodded back

"Well anyways I think we should get moving again." Yang suggested as she and the rest began making their way off once more "I just hope Tarzan is doing fine."

"I'm sure he is Yang." Dante answered back kindly as he and the rest began making their way to Tarzans location

-With Ruby, Weiss, Goofy and Guin-

"Have to say boys that your trip here was weird,no offense." Ruby stated as she, Weiss, Guin and Goofy sat around in a circle on a few chairs. Jane had gone to take a nap after the ordeal she had dealt with while the girls and Jaune were out scouting in the jungle beforehand. Jane's father Archimedes decided to do the same, but primarily because he was just tired from the explorations he had done today. Clayton had gone into his tent and had asked Jaune to join him since they needed to discuss a few things. Lastly Huang had gone out for a quick smoke since Weiss along with Ruby gave him a fuss about smoking while near them

"None taken Ruby, it's understandable why you'd say that. Those monkeys didn't give us much of choice and the vine swinging made it somewhat nauseating. Though I have to say I give you props for your trip, along with how you've been dealing with Jungle Hunter Ruby." Guin said giving her a respectful nod along with Goofy who did the same. Weiss just gave her a good job kiss on the cheek with a wide smile as Ruby became a little bashfully from the praise she was receiving

"Oh well it's nothing really." Ruby replied with a bashful smile as Weiss nuzzled her nose against hers for a moment, before retracting back

"You are just too humble and cute you know that. But in all seriousness's, you've been handling Jungle Hunter very well. Then again that monster knowing you could kill it at any moment while he's in his gem could have something to do with that too." Weiss stated with a small smirk as Ruby frowned a little

"Snow flake that's not what I wanted it to be like, look I know he's pretty gruesome with his methods and I for one hate it. But he also seems like a nice enough person, I mean he did give us one of his spears as a peace offering." Ruby explained

"True, but it was a work in progress as he said also hun. Now I can give to the beast that, but I'm still wary every time you summon him." Weiss responded back as she sighed a little "You know I only worry because I'm protective over you right?"

"I know and I appreciate it, really I do." Ruby said kindly as she looked to her left to see Huang coming back from his smoke break "Oh hey your back!"

"Yeah I am, though I'd wouldn't have had to go a ways if you both weren't whining about my smoking." Huang responded with a slightly annoyed look on his face

"Second hand smoking is the leading cause of illness within the lungs, I do not want that near me or my friends." Weiss sternly replied with a glare

"Yeah and its really icky either way." Ruby stated as she gave Huang a pouty face

"Whatever, you brats are just like any other brats. To talkative and annoying." Huang stated with a sigh as he looked around noticing they were the only ones out "Where's the rest?"

"Oh well Jane and her dad are sleeping. Clayton's talking with Jaune on some stuff and we're just here talking." Goofy answered as he gave off his trade mark laugh

"Ugh, I'm still having a hard time accepting your real, along with your leopard head friend." Huang stated rubbing his eyes "Makes me get a head ache just seeing ya there."

"For one it's a mask I wear and two, trust me once we get back to Traverse town you'll probably have a worse head ache." Guin replied as Huang sighed

"I can tell you're being honest, great and having to deal with my usual company is a head ache enough." Huang remarked angrily

"Speaking of which, mind telling us a bit more about them. I mean Hei, Yin and Mao." Ruby asked kindly as Huang gave her an irritated look, then sighed some more. Having the feeling that Ruby would just keep asking if he said no right now

"Fine, what do want to know?" Huang asked as Ruby though it over, not really expecting him to agree

"Well for one how about more of Hei, Yin and Mao even though we haven't met him yet. But Yin did speak of him so yeah. Anyways we'd like to know them as people." Weiss asked as she along with the rest of her friends had already learn a bit about three she spoke of. But a more in depth explanation from someone who knew them longer would be nice

"Not much your probably don't already know. Mao was a contractor that got stuck in an annoying cats body, Yins just some doll and Hei…he's a damn monster in the end. No matter if his is human, in the end he's really just a monster." Huang explained as Ruby and Weiss were kind of mad at that, mainly with what he said about Hei and Yin. Mao they hadn't met yet so they really couldn't be mad at him with what he said about that particular individual. But still with Hei and Yin, they had gotten to know them well enough; though Yin was much obviously much kinder. Though Hei still was a friend of theirs despite his cold attitude with them

"Now hold on there mister grump, you better take that back about them." Ruby sternly demanded as Huang raised an eyebrow at that

"What you mean that Yin's just a doll and that Hei's a monster. Because I ain't brat." Huang responded back as he flicked Ruby nose, making the girl move back a little as she rubbed her nose. That didn't go well with Weiss, not one bit as she knocked Huang onto his back suddenly and glared at him

"Do that again and see what happens." Weiss threatened as she shoved her keyblade in its gun form right into his face, while stomping on his right arm quickly so he wouldn't pull his gun out

"Little white haired bitch." Huang responded back as he knew he could get his gun with his left hand, but he also knew Weiss would shoot him before he could. The girl may not have been a killer, but he knew anyone under the threat of death and had a weapon would act immediately to make sure they were or whoever else was with them were safe

"Such vulgar language, I hate people like you." Weiss responded back as she narrowed her eyes and slowly pull the trigger just a little bit

"Weiss stop!" Ruby yelled out as Weiss looked back to see Ruby with a teary look "Please…no killing."

"Ruby…okay, for you." Weiss answered back as she got off of Huang who glared at her, but got a colder glare back from Weiss "Don't hit any of us again and you should say thank you to my girlfriend. She just save you worthless life."

"Yeah whatever you say witch." Huang answered back as he got back up and rubbed his wrist, then looked to Ruby with a slightly less angered glare "Thanks I guess."

"No problem, just like Weiss said. Don't hit any of us, because we might hurt you." Ruby responded back with a kind, but also somewhat threatening tone

"Yeah seemed like your little girlfriend just wanted to kill me. I'm going out for a smoke again." Huang responded back as he made his way back out of the camp, while grumbling angrily

"He's fun to be around, should how shot him in leg the at least." Weiss stated as she looked back to see Ruby give her a disapproving stare "What?"

"Um…I… I got to clean my hair." Goofy said as he could already tell this was a private matter "Guin does too."

"Yes, yes I do." Guin answered a little too quickly as Weiss was confused by their behavior, until it came to her

"Oh crap…" Weiss muttered in sudden fear as she looked back at Ruby who had her arms crossed, while she still gave her a disapproving glare. Then she looked back to Guin and Goofy for support, but they were already gone "Oh you traitors…"

"Don't go blaming them Weiss, you got yourself into this with your behavior." Ruby stated as she walked up to her and bopped on the head with the same amount of necessary scolding force as Weiss did with her "Bad Weiss."

"Ow, Ruby that hurt." Weiss whined a little as she rubbed the top of her head, but Ruby then just kissed her quickly on the forehead. Making Weiss smile once more in pure joy

"I'm sorry dear, but I did that because I didn't like how you handle the situation. I mean I'm happy that you love me so much you'd shoot someone for me. But still…I don't want you to have to kill someone. Trust me I don't want you to have to do that at all." Ruby explained with a worried look

"Oh Ruby, I'm sorry I got you all worked up. I just want to keep you along with the rest safe is all." Weiss replied back as she and Ruby gave each other a heartfelt hug "I hope you can forgive me for getting so…well violent just minutes ago."

"I already do, I just wanted to play the scolding one for once." Ruby happily said as she and Weiss kissed, then nuzzled their noses against one another

"You're such a silly girl, but that's one of the things I love about you." Weiss stated as both girls laughed a little, then Weiss took a seat. But patted her lap while giving Ruby a flirty smile "Come on, take a seat please."

"Really!" Ruby joyfully asked as she blushed madly, Weiss meanwhile couldn't help but be amused by her girlfriends joy

"Yes Ruby now-" Weiss began to say, but was cut off as Ruby plated herself on top Weiss lap. Making Weiss make a quick grunt of pain, before ignoring it and wrapping her arms around Ruby's waist "Well at least I know you're okay with doing this with me already."

"Well yeah, why wouldn't I be. I mean…well…I mean maybe eventually we can you know…" Ruby explained as she began becoming beat red with her suggestion, Weiss meanwhile went wide eyed and donned on an extremely happy smile

"I do want to have sex with you one day, but only when it's the right time and your fully ready." Weiss answered kindly as Ruby nodded in agreement

"Sounds like a plan to me Weiss, mind if we stay here for a while like this. Enjoy the peace while it last, because I'm having a feeling that stuff here is going to escalate soon." Ruby asked kindly as she moved her body in a more comfortable position. Then rested her right side and head against Weiss body, closing her eyes "Maybe we could take a quick nap?"

"I think that would be wonderful, I'll take a nap too…sweet dreams my little rose." Weiss said happily as Ruby just smiled and began resting using Weiss body as a sort of pillow. Though Weiss didn't mind and rest her head on top of Ruby's head, with that both girl enjoyed the moment of surreal peace in this world. Though as this went on, some of their friends back in Traverse town were having a… less peaceful time

-Traverse Town: Fifth District-

"You're a tough one..." Johnny muttered in slight annoyance as he fired another round at the heartless possessed father Gascoigne, who blocked most of the damage with his left arm. But still was being effected by the hell fire from his attack, as it burned his dark infused skin slightly "Come on really, now you're just being a pest!?"

"Pest ain't the word I'd use kid." Slade responded as he jumped over Father Gascoigne, shot him in the back with three shots, then used his chain to wrapped around the man's neck. Once there Slade used all his strength and flipped Father Gascoigne head first into the ground. Slade then released his chain from around Father Gascoigne's neck, shooting off his three more shots; before having to step back to dodged a dark shock wave shot at him from Father Gascoigne's axe. He back his way up next to Johnny as he smiled at his chain "Have to say, never saw what you and the rest of the modern riders likes about using chains. But now I see why, comes in handy."

"Yeah, but they can be a pain at times too. Especially when they grab you chain and use it against you." Johnny stated as Robbie made his way up from behind him, rubbing his skull head

"Back from your beauty sleep kid?" Slate asked with a chuckle at his own joke, much to Robbie's annoyance

"Oh sorry for taking the blast from our opponents powered attack, the one that was going to hit you. Maybe next time I'll just let the next attack coming at you hit you, see if how many bones break. You know what they say, the amount of broken bones that can be heard; tells how old a person is." Robbie passive aggressively stated with a chuckled of his own from his joke/insult

"Funny kid, very funny. But if you worked on your Ghost Riders powers and fighting skills as much as you do with jokes, maybe then you wouldn't need our help." Slate responded back with a smug tone as Robbie was about to say something, but was cut off by Johnny

"Okay how about we keep the petty arguments at a hold, until we finish this guy off okay?" Johnny suggested as Slate and Robbie glared at one another, then nodded in agreement with Johnny as they looked to see Father Gascoigne getting back up; cracking his neck as he the readied his axe for another attack

"You beasts are going to die, I'll skin the lot of ya!" Father Gascoigne yelled out with a sadistic tone, though the way his face was shaped now because of the heartless fusing didn't help out with lessening his creepiness factor

"Well let's do this, maybe we can take him out for good this time." Robbie said calmly as he, Slade and Johnny readied themselves to continue this fight, then charged once again at Father Gascoigne. The other watched in awe, worry and some with slight fear from outside the area

"You know if you ever told me that I'd be spending a full day or at least I think it's a full day, but if you told me I'd be spending it watching three men with demonic abilities fight a man who's be enhanced by the powers of darkness. I'd have laughed, then walked away, but then again this whole thing has been mind boggling." Hana stated as she watched the battle closely, wincing every time Robbie and his new friends took a hit from Father Gascoigne. One from worry for their health and two because she had at some point during this battle, began wondering how much pain the three Ghost Riders must feel with every hit the took even if they were sturdy "Oh I hope Leon gets back here with this Merlin fellow, before…well...you know."

"Hana we feel the same, but we need to have faith that Robbie and his friends will be able to fight back against the mad man before them." Twilight kindly said as she did a friendly nuzzled with her nose against Hana's cheek, to help the girl feel better and it seemed to work as Hana gave Twilight a quick hug around her neck

"Thanks Twilight, I appreciate it." Hana responded back kindly

"Your welcome Hana." Twilight happily replied as she hoof hugged Hana, the moment was cute but was abruptly cut short by Robbie hitting against the barrier hard

"Oh, he's gonna feel that tomorrow." Applejack stated as she, Rarity, Angela and Yuffie nodded in agreement

"RAWR!" Robbie roared out as he made his way back into the fray with Johnny and Slade, who currently were kicking and punching Father Gascoigne relentlessly. Though It went up another level of intensity as Robbie lunged into Father Gascoigne and began bashing at him in a rage, though Father Gascoigne was doing the same as he fired off waves of fire and darkness when he could; making Johnny, Slade along with the others outside cover their eyes from the intensity. Robbie meanwhile just took the damage he was receiving and kept on attacking Father Gascoigne

"I know this probably isn't the best time to ask, but how do the rest of you feel having three of them here?" Solider 76 asked as he saw Johnny come back into the fray first, as Robbie had backed off of Father Gascoigne. As Father Gascoigne got back up, Johnny punched him dead center in his back and sending him into a wall the opposite of his current position "Nice hit, got to give it to that Johnny fellow. He can do a pretty nasty punch."

"Yes nice, anyways in you want my personal opinion. I'm terrified, don't get me wrong Robbie seems nice enough when he's not that thing; but when he's…he's scary." Rarity replied back as she winced from seeing Father Gascoigne punched Slade in the stomach, then fling him hard into Robbie while Johnny was able to rammed his hand straight through his stomach. Though that didn't do much as Father Gascoigne them grabbed Johnny's arm, ripped the hand out and bashed Johnny against the ground hard creating a dust cloud

"I have to agree, but at least Slade and Johnny seemed to be in more control of their powers than Robbie is." Angela stated as Slade and Johnny then somehow got a hold of a few sharp pieces of broken metal which shifted into a demonic fiery forms. Then both Slade and Johnny jumped on Father Gascoigne back, stabbing his chest, neck and shoulder with a rapid pace. Father Gascoigne meanwhile was trying to claw off the two Ghost riders as black blood poured from his wounds, along with trying to fight back the pain from Robbie bashing his right fist, then the knife point of his chain with his left hand into his Father Gascoigne stomach. Meanwhile the others were starting to feel a little sick from the sight excluding Solider 76, Eileen, Vladimir, Alfred and Maria "N-Never mind what I just said…"

"Beep, vroop, vroo." Bastion stated with a somewhat reassuring tone

"Bastion we get what you're saying, but we still should keep our guards up. Mainly around Johnny and Slade now, since Robbie's been behaving well enough so far." Glynda responded back, then saw Robbie doing the same exact thing with Father Gascoigne that Slade and Johnny were doing. Though the attacks were easy for the three Ghost Riders to pull off as Father Gascoigne was stuck on the ground now trying his best to deflect the brutal attacks "Really, I vouch for him and he's doing that?"

"It's battle Glynda, if I say myself the boy and his friends are doing a fine job at it so far." Alfred stated with a smirk as he watch the brutal beating of Father Gascoigne continue on

"You're a sick man, you know that?" Yuffie remarked as Alfred just shrugged

"Personally I have to agree with Alfred here, trust me the man deserves a lot worse. Though I might be also saying that because I was brutally kill by the old man over a dozen of times." Vladimir stated as Maria patted him on the shoulder, Vladimir looked back and gave a smile under his mask. Though Maria oddly enough looked away with a barely noticeable blush on her cheeks

"If you don't mind me asking but… could you name some." Hana asked with a cautious tone as she didn't want to step over any boundaries with one of her friends. Then again she questioned why she even asked in the first place

"Hana don't be-" Angela began to say in a scolding tone to her younger friend, but she was stopped as Vladimir held his hand up

"It's alright Angela." Vladimir said as he looked back at Hana "For one I remember the third death of mine where he grabbed my arms in his secondary form, ripped them off slowly and then broke my back along with my neck; then after that he rammed my body against one of the graves stones as an insult to injury. That was a tamed death, one of my worst deaths though was my twelfth one. It was the last death before I finally killed Father Gascoigne, I remember he grabbed my legs and slowly crushed them first off. After that he then ripped them off and once that was done, he clawed my stomach while ripped my guts out. But left them still connect to the insides of my body. After that was done with, Father Gascoigne finally skinned my alive from the arms all the way to the start of my neck; extremely slowly as he smiled through the whole process while I was screaming in agonizing pain. Finally he killed me off by cutting my arms off, then hung me by using my own intestines to make a noose. I died a minute later from suffocating to death. But that was only Father Gascoigne just to say, I can only tell what is to come later in my world for me shall be…worse; much worse."

"Oh…s-sorry I asked…." Hana stated as she almost threw up, she was wanted to so bad from the description she had been told. But she couldn't and that's what made her feel even more sick to her stomach, that she couldn't let out her appropriate responded to something so horrific she had just been told

"How…" Twilight asked with a horrified tone as the Yahrmanites looked at her, while she look back at them with horror stricken eyes

"How what child?" Eileen asked with a disturbingly calm tone

"How…how in the world are you three still acting so sane?!" Twilight shouted out, though mentally scolded herself for doing so. But to hers and the other non-Yahrmanites slight disturbance, Vladimir began laughing a little; though it cracked up to a hysterical laugh

"Why…why are laughing?" Yuffie asked in slight fear as Vladimir stopped laughing, then took a few more moments to catch his breath and calmed himself down. Once he was calm enough, he looked back at Twilight with a kind gaze

"Twilight my friend, who ever said we we're sane in the first place hm?" Vladimir asked as for everyone else who wasn't a Yahrmanite, tough or kind hearted. They suddenly realized that the three Yahrmanites may not be as sane as they let off to be. Along with have a better understanding of why Maria was created the way she way. The others then along with Vladimir, Eileen, Vladimir and Maria looked back at the battle taking place to see the Ghost riders still at it with their brutal attack with no end of it in sight. Vladimir took notice of the worry some of the other were giving off "Worried they will share a fate like I did and we will be powerless to do anything about it?"

"Yeah, I think I can speak for all of us if I say that how we feel. Even me." Solider 76 replied as the rest nodded in agreement

"Do not worry, I'm sure they won't. They're demonic abilities are what are giving them the ace in the hole in this battle to begin with." Eileen stated with full confidence as she and the rest watched the brutal beat down continue on

"TAKE THIS!" Robbie roared out as he was stomping down on the darkness possessed Father Gascoigne along with Johnny and Slate. But to his annoyance the man was too stubborn to die already and the wounds he had received should have killed him long ago. But the heartless infused with Father Gascoigne were probably the only reason he could take this much punishment and still be able to live through it

"Seriously just die, it'll save you a lot of time from a lot pain you old fool!" Johnny said angrily as he was getting tired of this, but Father Gascoigne arms seemed to be extremely sturdy from their physical attacks. This in turn made it hard to land a killing blow on the old man's skull. Slade just grunted in agreement as he kept on trying to stomp down through Father Gascoigne's arms

"Damn beasts!" Father Gascoigne roared back in rage as he couldn't do anything at the moment, he didn't have his axe currently. His primal rage wasn't cutting it along with his newly added strength from the darkness within him. He was getting much angrier by this point, the beast already were trying to trick him into believing these other beasts and this strange town were real. But he knew not to take in the lies, he needed to kill these beasts of flames. He needed to, because he knew he had to get back to his wife and daughters. They would die from the beasts if they found them, they would devoured them without hesitation and Father Gascoigne would be damned if he let that happen

"DIE OLD MAN!" Robbie roared out the loudest out of all three Ghost riders, he had the most uncontrollable rage coursing through him. He began stomping faster than Slade or Johnny. Each stomp creating small flickers of flames. After six more quick stomps the flames grew so big that Johnny and Slate had to back up once more to their surprise. Robbie though kept on with his deadly stomping, but didn't take notice of the dark wisps around Father Gascoigne were growing bigger as he even began growling a little. Ten more quick and deadly flame stomps from Robbie and by this point Father Gascoigne had enough

"THAT'S ENOUGH YOU DIRTY BEASTS!" Father Gascoigne screamed out in a pure rage as waves of darkness blasted out pushing Johnny, Slade and even the other outside the barrier back even. Robbie was the only one who was able to keep his footing. But that was probably not the best choice for him to do, as when the dark waves stopped moments later; Father Gascoigne then grabbed Robbie by the head and began bashing him against the ground while letting out a blood thirsty rage. He kept on this over and over again for a good few moments, which to Robbie felt like hours instead. But once Father Gascoigne did one last bash, he lifted Robbie up and then flung him extremely hard against the barriers wall. Robbie let out a pained scream as he fell back down on the ground, reverting back into his human form a second later

"Ah… that's… really cheap…" Robbie stated as he couldn't move anymore and could only lay down in pain while watching Johnny and Slade try attacking Father Gascoigne. But with the same results as they were throw back with even more force against the barrier which created sparks in their case. Though like Robbie, they fell to the ground in extreme pain while reverting back into their human forms also

"God…I haven't felt this much pain in a long time. Oh god, I think I pulled my back." Johnny stated as he winced trying to move "Or maybe the bones in my body have been broken or splintered…great."

"Enough whining, we got to get up or AH MY BACK!" Slade yelled out as he tried to get up, but fell back do immediately as he pressed his hand against back with a pained look on his face "Remember this you two, old age is not fun. Especially in the vigilante business."

"Yeah, we can see that." Robbie responded back as he looked back to see Father Gascoigne slowly making their way up to them, along with summoning his axe into his right hand which was made of pure black metal; while purple wisps came from the weapon "Really, come on dude!?"

"You have to get up guys!" Hana yelled out as she banged her fist again the other side of the barrier

"We're trying little lady!" Johnny yelled back as he tried getting back up, but fell back down quickly

"What's wrong with you three, I mean don't your ghost rider forms take the damage instead of your human forms?" Glynda asked in a worried and confused tone

"Nope, same body in either form. Which is why Ghost Riders usual end up having a bandage or twenty on them. If their lucky, then they come out of battle with maybe a single bandage." Slade answered as they, along with rest of the group on the other side of the barrier saw Father Gascoigne still walking up to them slowly. Slade looked closer though and saw the man had a limp right leg with his sharp metal piece embedded in the calf "Huh well I guess that's our saving grace."

"We'll get you out, somehow." Rarity stated with a confident, but worried tone as she looked to see if there was some other way to open the barrier or bypass it at least

"Yes we shall get you three out of there." Maria added in as she and the rest began looking to see if there some way to get pass the barrier, Leon though still hadn't returned with Merlin who from what Maria had hear about was a powerful wizard. But since he or Leon weren't back yet, Maria knew it was up to her and the rest to find a way to break through this barrier. Though it wasn't helping she was feeling to her surprise a sudden feeling of panic for the first time in her life, but the others hadn't taken notice as they were too busy looking for a way to bypass the barrier quickly. Maria felt like she couldn't move from the sudden panic attack she was feeling and was trying her hardest to snap out of it, but with not much luck. As this went on, Hk-97 still was watching from the roof tops in interest of what was to happen

"Curious: I wonder what will happen now, will they be able to save the three abominations or will they fail and watch them die. Either way it will be intriguing to watch…if I didn't already know the outcome of the abominations inevitable death. Oh well it was nice to watch while it lasted, but I should make my way off now." Hk-97 stated coldly as he started to make his way off from the roof, while listening to the panic shouts of the refuges trying to save the three abominations. But as he was getting closer to the edge of the roof, HK-97 in a rare moment lack to take notice of a loose roof tile. With that he accidently stepped on it and slipped right off the roof. It took about two seconds later for him to fully realized what had just happened as he began falling down quicker "Statement: Oh my, this is quiet the predicament." He stated as a few seconds more he finally made contact with the ground, getting the attention of Robbie, Slade, Johnny, the rest of the group and even father Gascoigne who looked to see the area Hk-47 landed at

"What the in the world was that?" Vladimir asked as the others silently wondered the same

"Please let it be an ally, please." Robbie stated with a slightly nervous tone, a moment later though he along with everyone else saw a grey robot make its way back up. Though it had black tribal markings, a bailor around it's chest and wielded a futuristic gun of sorts. The Robot looked back at the group along with Father Gascoigne staring at it, then it spoke

"Greetings: Why hello there my good fellows, I am HK-97. I can see that you lot are having a disagreement. So if you would-" HK-97 awkwardly asked, but was cut off by Father Gascoigne who tried slashing him in half with his axe. Though Hk-97 was a lot more faster than he looked and easily dodged the attack. Then quickly moved over to where Robbie, Johnny, Slade and the rest were "Annoyance: Seems like he's in more of the killing mood, great just great."

"Hey tin can, are you on our side or his?" Solider 76 sternly asked as HK-97 looked back at him while sighing in annoyance

"Further annoyance: What do you think you, if I haven't stomp these three men's heads in yet then I'm obviously on your side." HK-97 explained as Solider 76 glared at him from under his mask

"Sorry about that, excuse my friend here. We've just been dealing with a lot lately and are on the jumpier side of things. Again, sorry mister omnic." Angela kindly said

"Anyways since it seems you're on our side, could you help us?" Johnny asked bluntly

"If you would please do so he means." Applejack stated with a kind smile, then gave Johnny a scolding glare "Right?"

"Right fine, if you would PLEASE help us?" Johnny sarcastically said as Applejack grunted angrily, though thankfully Eileen patted her back to help keep the pony calm. Applejack gave Eileen a nod of appreciation back

"Again, can you help us out please?" Robbie asked this time as HK-97 looked at him and the rest, then at Father Gascoigne glaring at them. Then took a few more looks back and forth before letting out a chuckle

"Response: Sure, sure I will. Then we can figure out what happens after." HK-97 replied back as he looked once more at Father Gascoigne laughing a little "Request: A moment if you will give me please."

"A moment, hey robot that guy took us out and we put everything in our attacks. So makes you think you can-" Slade asked, but before he could finish his question. HK-97 gave him the answer as he fired off his gun which turned out to be a rapid fire, laser bolt weapon

"STATEMENT: DIE YOU OLD RELIC, DIE, DIE, DIE!" HK-97 screamed out as he gave out a continues psychotic laugh. This whole group watch in wide eyed amazement for another thirty seconds until HK-97's gun overheated and with that he ceased his laughing. How father Gascoigne looked after what quiet a shocker to the others

"Dear god…" Hana muttered in disgust as Father Gascoigne's body had multiple holes in it with rivers of blackened blood pouring out of the wounds, while his guts had changed into a pitch black coloring. His inside from his stomach, kidneys and heart hung out of his body. While his arm and leg barley were hanging on the joints. Lastly Father Gascoigne face had part of his jaw shot off, his antennas shot off and his left eyes was missing

"C-Cruised…b-b-beast…I…I…will…" Father Gascoigne in a pained rage tried to say, but couldn't as his body was too damages for him to even make a simple statement. Father Gascoigne would have tried to move toward HK-97, but as he did the remainder of his legs joints were shot off by HK-97 as he fell to the ground hard. Then the man's arms joints were also shot off next from HK-97. But despite this, Father Gascoigne tried to move still; though the pain was too much. Even with the darkness infused within him, he couldn't move at all; but could only scream in fury "YOU BEAST, I'LL GUT YOU, I'LL GUT YOU!"

"Response: No you won't, because you'll be dead very soon." HK-97 responded back calmly as he kicked over the limbless Father Gascoigne on his back, stomped on his stomach and then opened his metical palm where an olive green magic light glowed from the center of it. Much to everyone confusion Hk-97 just dropped the magic light which fused right into where Father Gascoigne's heart was. HK-97 then made his way back to the rest of the group

"What did you just do to me beast?!" Father Gascoigne asked in angry and confusion as HK-97 made his way back next to Robbie, Johnny and Slade. Then casted a heal spell over them, the three Ghost Rider got back up slowly, though still seemed to be in pain despite the heal spell. They along with rest of the group outside the barrier just stayed quiet as they watch HK-97 turned back to Father Gascoigne letting off a sadistic chuckled

"Explanation: An old magic spell, the third level version of it to be exact. The spells name is… Pesilencila." HK-97 answered snapping his fingers as moments later Father Gascoigne began groaning in pain, the darkness in his body began to fade as dark bumps began to plaguing his flesh. Then the bumps disappeared back into his body as Father Gascoigne's body turned back into its original human form. The man screamed in agony for a few more seconds as this body turned pale white and blood dripped from under the wrap covering his eyes. Then he stopped screaming while his body broke down into white dust and with that the battle was over with only silence left in the area. HK-97 checked his gun quickly, then turned back around while at the same time the barrier disappeared "Statement: Now you may come in and see to your three companions here."

"R-Right." Angela responded back first in a nervous tone as she, along with a frighten Twilight, a shocked Rarity, a uneasy Applejack, Maria, Alfred, Vladimir and a wary Eileen passed him. They began to see what they could to help out the three Ghost Riders. Meanwhile Glynda, Bastion, Yuffie and Solider 76 stayed back to talk with HK-97 who took notice of them walking up towards him

"Statement: I'm taking it you wish to speak with me, warry of me correct?" HK-97 asked as Glynda, Bastion, Yuffie and Solider 76 looked at one another; then back at HK-97. But before they could ask some questions, someone else from behind beat them to it

"Yes we would, one being where you learn that spell of yours man of metal?" Merlin asked as he and Leon finally made it back, though also looked like they had just gone through a warzone

"Where were you two and why do you look like you just got out of a battle?" Glynda asked

"Because we did, a bunch of heartless were attacking Merlin's home. Took me, Merlin and the fairy god mother surprisingly to take them all out. But we did, our current look is proof enough of that." Leon explained, but then glared at HK-97 "Still can you answers Merlin, like now maybe?"

"If you would please, sorry for Leon but he's still learning to be more kinder with his words." Glynda said with a kindly, but underlying stern tone as Leon rolled his eyes. Only to receive a quick smack on his right arm by Glynda's cattle whip as she glared back at him, a glare that sent chills up his spin slightly "Behave."

"Yeah…sure." Leon replied back as he rubbed his arm a little, while HK-97 chuckled at that a little

"Amusement: Good one miss, but to answer the old man's answer. I learned the Pesilencila spell from an old book I found and before anyone asks; no I can't explain how a droid like me can do magic. But it seems magic doesn't just run through the veins of you fleshling, but mechanical beings as well." HK-97 explained

"Well that just answered what I want to ask." Yuffie stated with a sheepish grin as she looked at the other bandaging up Robbie and Johnny the most, Slade not as much "Hey I'm gonna go see if they need help okay."

"Beep, vroop, boo." Bastion responded kindly as Yuffie giggled a little

"Still take looking over them seriously, okay?" Glynda sternly stated as Yuffie rolled her eyes a little

"Thanks MOM, I will honest." Yuffie said putting empathetic on the word mom as she stuck her tongue out at Glynda, then booked it to the others with a giggle before Glynda could do anything else for the back talk

"Honestly that girl." Glynda remarked turning her attention back to HK-97 "Anyways I'm taking it you're a new refuge correct?"

"Answer: Refuge…yes…yes I am, I don't remember much of what happened before I ended up here, so I couldn't tell you much." HK-97 explained – "It would be best if I lie to them, thank god for no retraining bolt. Hm maybe I could stay here for a bit. Keep an eye on the girls while sending my spider drones out to inspect the worlds out there. It would make it much easier for me, along with less strain on my joints."-

"It's okay, but are you sure you won't cause any harm to us?" Solider 76 asked calmly "You helped with that mad man, but we don't know much about you other than your name; HK-97 correct?"

"Response: Correct and I would like to say I am you ally, besides I could have shot the lot of you and killed that mad man. But I only killed the mad man, still if that doesn't ensure you, then I will say I have a command code that prohibits me from attacking unless a threat is within my vicinity." HK-97 explained, hoping they wouldn't see through his lies

"Really, hm I guess that would make sense. Your creator probably built that in just in case you went haywire. Good to know you won't shoot at us." Glynda said in a relieved tone, though she wanted to ask something else "Still, what kind of robot are you?"

"Answer: Droid to be exact, I am an HK-series protocol droid. I can translate a wide variety of different languages along with being an excellent bodyguard." HK-97 explained

"Really is that so…wait, your Ansem's body guard aren't you?" Leon asked as he couldn't believe he didn't catch onto that earlier, along with being slightly angry that Yuffie didn't either

"Hm, that would explain why I had that feeling of familiarity." Merlin stated as his excuse for not realizing it quicker was his old age, which for him despite being a powerful wizard was a pretty believable excuse since he really did have a bad memory at points

"Answer: That is correct sir's, though sadly I was separated from Master Ansem a while ago. So I would have no idea where he is by this point, I do apologize for that." HK-97 replied back as he was so happy they had taken his lies at face value

"No it's okay, look you can stay with us and hey maybe you master will come looking for you. If he does I can corner him. Then demand some answers from him, mainly relating to his research on the heartless." Leon said as he knew the notes to his research were scatter, then again that could have just been a made up rumor so no one would look for them. Either way it would be a smart idea to keep HK-97 here

"Response: Thank you kindly, I will do my best to serve and repay this kindness back. First being that my sensors are picking up more energy signature coming from within the graveyard. If you would follow me." HK-97 stated as he knew this was a good way to start off earning their trust, better for them to like him then hate him. HK-97 then began making his way to the source of the energy signature, followed by Glynda, Leon, Solider 76, Bastion and Merlin. But as they followed in behind the droid, the others took notice of this and followed also. Robbie though was being helped by Eileen, while Slade was helped by Hana and Alfred. Johnny meanwhile was being helped by Vladimir and Maria, as the ponies followed in behind too. They all followed in behind the droid who took a good few more steps until he stopped on the other side of the grave yard. To HK-97 and the groups sight, it was a large stone door that was covered in vines and looked very old

"How in the hay did we not notice that?" Twilight asked in sudden shock

"Oh I don't know, maybe because of the death battle that was taking place." Johnny sarcastically answered as Twilight kicked him in the leg hard enough to make the man wince in pain a little more "Ugh…you are not nice, no in fact you're a little bi-"

"Mister Johnny, language!" Angela yelled out as she smack him lightly behind the head, he didn't wince in pain from that; but rubbed his head a little

"Blaze." Johnny replied back

"What?" Angela and the others girls asked in confusion, while the boys just stayed quiet

"My last name, my full name though is Johnny Blaze." Johnny explained, which got a laugh from the ponies, Yuffie and Alfred much to Johnny's slight annoyance "Yeah I know, ironic name since I'm a Ghost Rider."

"You tell us, oh let me guess that Slade's is something fire related too?" Hana asked as she couldn't help but laugh herself now

"Sorry kid, my last name is Carter." Slade answered with a smirk as Hana stuck her tongue out at him in a joking manner

"Oh no fun, oh well at least I can tease Johnny." Hana stated with a devious smirk

"What are you the devil?" Johnny asked, though snickered a little at that – "If she really was, she be a better looking one then devil in our world by a long shot."-

"Maybe so, fear me!" Hana replied as she made a playful evil laugh, then she dragged Maria and Solider 76 next to her "Laugh with me my minion!"

"No I don't want to." Solider 76 stated in slight irritation, but then noticed Hana had continued doing her evil laugh; along with Maria who was doing a blander evil laugh with a neutral face "OH COME ON REALLY?"

"Why not, it's for fun. Right Hana?" Maria asked as Hana smiled widely at her in agreement, then looked back at Solider 76

"Please!" Hana asked with a kind tone and puppy dog eyes as Solider 76 sighed, knowing he was beat. He moved next to Hana and began laughing himself

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Solider 76 laughed in the best evil tone he could muster up. Once he was done Solider 76 look back at the others who were somewhat wide eyed other than Maria, HK-97 and Hana who instead smiled even wider in joy "So was that good?"

"Oh my god yes it was, you could totally pull off a super villain cosplay!" Hana answered as she gave Solider 76 a hug, which took him by surprise before he hugged her back a few seconds later

"Thanks kid." Solider 76 said as he and Hana let go of one another, give each other a friendly smile. It was a nice moment until HK-97 cut in

"Request: Not to be rude, but may we bring ourselves back to the attention of the stone door and the energy signature it's giving off." HK-97 asked as the others nodded, then put their full attention back towards the stone door

"So… what do we do, I mean I think it's pretty clear we can't open it. At least easily." Rarity asked

"Hey Bastion, you think your little fancy pea shooter you were using could do the trick?" Applejack asked as she had forgotten the name they called the metal shooters some of the refuges were using as weapons

"Vroop, beep." Bastion answered sadly

"Oh don't worry partner I'm sure… wait can I understand you too now?" Applejack asked as she just realized she understood him for the first time

"Vroo!" Bastion answered happily as he clapped his hands to the best of his abilities

"Well that's good to know, but for real if we can't open it. Then how do we-" Applejack began to ask, but was interrupted as the stone doors suddenly began opening which revealed a bright purple light shining out

"You just to ask didn't you Applejack?" Yuffie asked as she and the rest covered their eyes, even HK-97

"Yuffie do not start with me, I like ya gal but don't push me." Applejack kindly said with an underlying scolding tone also

"Trust me, friends or not she does not play nice when she's mad." Rarity said next as Applejack huffed a little at the accurate description of herself

"Ladies hold in the cat fight for later please!" Johnny asked as Applejack and Rarity glared at him while the doors were almost fully opened "Great, first I get glares from my ex-girlfriends and now talking ponies. God my life has gotten so weird!"

"Preacher to the choir!" The whole group even Maria answered back loudly as the door were fully open, leaving only the light which shined so bright that the group had to cover their eyes fully. But then it suddenly died down and when the group looked to see what was left from the light, to their surprise it was a large group of new refuges laying on the ground and looked to be out cold or at least dazed. The new group consisted of ten people, two begin women; one being a young boy and the rest seven grown men

"For real, oh god the hotel is gonna be in full use for once?!" Leon said in a slight panic for once, knowing this was becoming a hassle. But just then one of the refuges from the new got up

"Ugh…what in the world happened. I swear to god if I got kidnapped I am going to…." The woman grumbled loudly. She had pale skin, blue eyes, white long hair and eyebrows. She wore a pure white vest shirt, a short skirt, white business high heels, a blue tie and lastly a white jacket with fur lining along the collar. She frozen when she saw everyone else, then she began freaking out "AH, WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE. OH GOD I NEED HELP!"

"Lady please were not-" Alfred tried to say, but was cut off as by instinct he dodged a bullet that hit a sliver of his hair "Okay what the hell?"

"What's going on?" The young boy of new group sternly asked with an unamused look on his face. He had dark skin, red eyes and white hair/eyebrows like the woman. He wore a dark green hoodie, black shorts and dark brown boots. Also he was currently aiming a pistol at Alfred and the rest. The boy narrowed his eyes as he slowly tighten his pull on the trigger. But as he did this, he looked over to the woman with a softer gaze "Koko are you okay?"

"Yeah I am, but and I can't believe I'm saying this. But maybe you shouldn't have tried to kill one of these people Jonah. We don't even know where we are and I'd rather not piss anyone off." The woman Koko kindly responded with a sheepish grin as the boy Jonah raised an eyebrow at that. They two their attention turned back to the group to see Johnny, Slade, Solider 76, Vladimir and Bastion had pulled out their respective weapons in a defensive manner

"Sorry miss, but we don't take kindly to having any of our friends shot at." Solider 76 answered, but then the sounds of even more guns could be heard as the rest of the new group awoken, showing a surprising feat of readying their guns to use against the Traverse town group

"Best if you didn't." An older man around Solider 76's age sternly said as he had peach skin, grey short hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark black combat vest, a short grey shirt under, black cargo pants and boots. He also was aiming an assault rifle at the Traverse town group, oddly enough the other seven men and other woman had a similar attire on. But each of them wore a different colored shirt, the other woman had a tan eye patch over her right eye and they all were aiming a variety of guns at the Traverse town group

"Come on, now were all going to be stuck in a stand still!" Hana said in sight irritation as she was ready to pull her pistol out. But was stopped by Rarity, who placed her hoof over Hana's hand

"Sorry dear, but I think if you plan on doing what I know your planning on doing. Then it might make the situation tenser. Me, the girls, Spike and our little sisters may have only recently seen what a gun as you call them can do. But we can already tell they are devastating weapons, having this many around would cause quiet a mess." Rarity explained as Hana wanted to protest, but in the end decided to give in. She sighed and moved her hand away from her pistols holster

"Your right, thanks Rarity." Hana kindly replied – "Good thing I didn't bring out my mech suit…wait why didn't I use it during Robbie's fight with that crazy guy against the barrier or any other time after. UGH I AM SO STUPID!"-

"Hey girl, what are you doing with that…wait is that a techno colored pony?" The woman wearing the eye patch asked with a confused, yet stern look in her eye

"We were just talking miss…" Rarity responded back, trying to get the woman's name along with trying to making this whole situation less tense than it already was

"Valmet, you?" The woman named Valmet answered. She had pale skin, a single yellow eye, black shoulder length hair and wore a black undershirt with her combat attire, while also pointing an assault rifle at them

"Rarity and I must say that you have such lovely hair, it brings out your pale skin quiet wonderfully." Rarity kindly said as Valmet chuckled at the kind compliment

"You must have been taught some pretty good manners to be complementing someone pointing a gun at you and your friends. I like you already." Valmet kindly responded back, though she still was wary of this situation currently

"Valmet please don't get all chatty with the possible enemy." One of the men stated. He had tan skin, brown upkept medium length hair, light green eyes and wore with his combat attire a navy-blue shirt. Valmet glared at his as she stomped on his foot hard, making the man wince in pain a little

"Oh shut it R, at least she knows how to talk to a woman without hitting on or touching them." Valmet remarked angrily, but smirked at her handy work with stomping on R's foot

"Real nice of you Valmet…" R loudly grumbled as he looked at back at the Traverse town group aiming a pump action shotgun at them

"Look I'm sure we can talk this through. You all just came out from that stone wall, so your probably not informed of what's even going on." Angela kindly suggested, but the men were checking her out more than listening to her; even the oldest one was look at her. The only one not doing so was Jonah who was standing by Koko's side like a guard dog. Angela though seemed to have only take notice of their stares a few moments after as she looked back at them with a confused look "What?"

"Your hot." All the men of group B bluntly answered making Angela blushed madly the forwardness, Solider 76 meanwhile unintentionally gripped his pulse rifle in a sudden anger

"Behave boys." Koko sternly said as she gave the men a scolding glare, kind of like a den mother with her kids

"Koko's right, were professionals here so we better act like it." The oldest man of group B stated as some the younger men, including R gave him deadpanned looks. Jonah was still keeping quiet along with Valmet, while Koko was laughed a bit at the scene

"Really Lehm, you said it with us to you know." One of the other younger men stated as he had peach skin, spiky blond hair, and blue eyes with a scar on the top of his left eye. He wore a dark grey shirt under his combat attire and was carrying a sniper rifle

"Lutz don't push it." Lehm responded back with a slightly embarrassed look on his face as the most of the other men snickered

"Sorry to say man, but your kind of were an old prevent right there." Another younger man remarked. This one had tanned skin, brown eyes and short black hair. He wore a light navy blue shirt with his combat attire, while holding a semi auto shotgun in his hands

"Tojo act your age, same goes for you Lutz." One of the slightly older men stated sternly, he had light tanned skin, brown eyes and a copper black buzz cut. He wore a dark military green shirt with his combat attire carried a semi auto assault rifle

"Come on Ugo, we were just joking." Lutz responded back in his and Tojo's defense

"Even so, were in sort of a tight spot. Sure the eye candy was nice to see, but I think we made the woman a little flustered by our words." One of the last of the younger men stated. He had dark skin, brown eyes and a dark brown buzz cut with two streaks on each side. The man also had three ring earrings on his left ear and two stud ones on his right ear. He was carrying a large caliber pistol, wore a pair of glasses and a lastly had a light grey shirt underneath combat attire. The man looked at Angela with a kind smile "Sorry about that miss, you know how boys can get sometimes."

"Um…no problem I guess." Angela replied back, but was even more confused on what was going on at this point

"That's Wiley for ya, nice to most and a terror to others." The last of the men from group B remarked. He had tan skin, short black hair, brown eyes, then lastly a marron shirt under his combat attire and carried a submachine gun with him

"Right you are Mao, right you are." Koko kindly responded back with a smirk, then turned her attention to the Traverse town group "I can see this is somewhat of a misunderstanding, we don't know where were at and you all seem to know. So again I can't believe I'm saying this, but let's all put our weapons down. Then we can talk about this. Sound good?"

-"Never thought I'd hear her say that."- The entirety of group B though, excluding Jonah who just shrugged and lowered his weapon

"I think it does, no more blood is needed to be shed today." Eileen said as he two groups looked at one another, each other, then slowly put their weapons away. It was tense for a few more moments after that, but finally it was peaceful... depending on what peaceful at this point could be defined as

"Cool, cool. So first off maybe we should ask, but do any of ya'll remember what happened before you got here?" Applejack asked as Koko and rest of her group though it over, but couldn't seem to have anything come to mind

"No sorry about that, honestly I don't think none of us can remember a thing. Though I can speak for all of us when I say we aren't in a dream or a drug filled hallucination. But in another real world right now. Did I get that right?" Koko stated with a slight nervousness in her tone

"Yeah you'd be right, look I know this is weird and it's probably hard for any of you to trust us. But if you come with our group back to the hotel, everything will be explained. Okay?" Leon suggested as he cautiously made his way out to the center of both groups and held out his hand to shake. Koko did the same as both looked at one another for a few moments, like they were reading each other

"Hm… alright then, you got a deal." Koko kindly replied back as she shook Leon's hand, then they released each other's hands a few moments later

"Good, now let's-" Leon began to say, but was cut off quickly as the door yet again did the same thing and began glowing brightly. This forced Leon and group B to move next to the Traverse town group as they all covered their eyes once again. Once the light died down, much to the now enlarge groups surprise; even more people ended up being spit out. This time though it was ten girls, ranging from older to younger. Along with them were eight men with one woman. Leon just sighed in slight frustration and slight worry "Great, just great…"

"Hey calm down, maybe there friendlies." Hana suggested, then got a little worried herself "But who's going to wake them up?"

"I will!" Yuffie responded happily as she skipped towards the newer arrivals

"I think I should go with her, you know for back up. I mean I may not be able to use my magic because my horn is sore from all the magic use, but I can still use my legs to buck these people if they try anything." Twilight stated a she followed behind Yuffie

"Valmet would you and Lutz you mind back them up. If we're going to be here for a while, might as well start with bodyguard duty." Koko kindly asked

"Of course Koko, anything you ask I'll do!" Valmet responded back joyfully, while giving Coco a loving gaze as she then quickly caught up with Yuffie and Twilight

"I think she's on the other side of the fence if you know what I mean." Johnny muttered a little too loudly, which received him a buck to the his right thigh by Rarity "For god sakes why?"

"Because talking about someone's sexual orientation like gossip is very rude, especially behind their backs Mister Blaze." Rarity answered as she gave Johnny a glare, while Robbie snickered a bit receiving a glare from Johnny himself

"Sorry, I just kind of find it funny that your being man handled by a small pony." Robbie stated, but then stopped his snickering when he saw the all the other women excluding Maria glaring at him with spin shivering smirks. Koko and even Eileen had taken her mask off joined in, making Robbie feel very outnumbered right now "Ah…I'll…I'll shut up."

"You do that." The women of the group all stated as they turned their attention back to the newer arrivals

"Poor kid." The rest of the men still present said, pitying Robbie for receiving the glares of the women here. Meanwhile Yuffie, Twilight, Lutz, Bastion and Valmet had made their way up to the bodies of the unconscious people

Yuffie then beagn to gently poked one of the girl's cheeks. The girl Yuffie was poking wore a white parka with purple and dark purple markings. A pair of purple stripped long shocks, purple/ white highlighted shoes and a purple head band with two white plus signs on each side of it. She also had pale skin and purple hair, though her eyes were still closes so the color couldn't be seen. Yuffie kept on poking the girl's cheek repeatedly

"Hey, wake up please little lady." Yuffie kindly asked with a wide smile

"Yuffie I don't think-" Glynda was about to say, then was cut off as the girl being poked woke up suddenly

"COOKIES, APPLE PIE, PUDDING!" The girl yelled out as she opened her purple eyes wide open and shot straight up to her feet. Then pulled out a katana, looking around franticly until she saw everyone else "Oh, new people. Sweet!"

"This is weird." Lutz stated as Twilight and Valmet nodded in agreement

"Beep, vroop boop." Bastion remarked getting a laugh out of Twilight, since the new comers with them probably didn't understand the bot yet

"True, very true. She a little too cute to pose any vile threat to us." Twilight said with a giggle, but she stopped when a groan could be heard from one of the men of newer group

"Will shut up kid, my head feels like a damn bull just rammed into me. God!" The man yelled out angrily as he got up to his feet. He had olive skin, brown eyes and short black hair. He wore black boots, black gloves, a green military jumpsuit with the logo of a white rectangle with a red circle in the center on the right side of his upper arm, an aviators cap and a scarf. He was currently rubbing his head in pain, then went wide eyed when he finally looked to see everyone else "What the fu-"

"Language!" Another of the girls from the newer group screamed out as she shot up from the ground suddenly and back onto her feet. She had peach skin, amber eyes and had long pretty orangish blonde hair. She wore a black head band with a white C on the left, a white long-sleeved sweater/ black hand bag combo, a red plaid skirt, black stocking that went up to the half way point of her thighs and a pair of white boot. The girl though realizing how loud she was blushed a little in embarrassment "Opp's, sorry about that. Force of habit."

"Compa please don't yell, ugh my head hurts so BAD!" A third girl from the newer group asked in a pained tone as she got back up. This girl had pale skin, red eyes, then long waist length black hair in pig tails tied by black and blue ribbons. She wore a fancy buttoned black dress/ bustier combo with white, dark blue, red and gold lining which also had a blue bow tied behind the back. She wore a separate black and white collar with a smaller blue bow around her neck and a black skirt with blue lining. Lastly she wore a pair of knee high black boots with white, blue and golden embroideries. She opened her eyes to see the current situation at hand and looked to the purple hair girl "Neptune, where are we?"

"Why are you asking me Noire, it ain't like I'd know." The girl Neptune responded back to the girl Noire, then she looked over to see the group of men near them and went wide eyed "Wait I just remembered these guys and that girl got flung into our place by some weird portal, then we like fought weird small creatures of darkness. Wait…how do I remember that?"

"Um miss Neptune, right?" Merlin asked as he moved up to the front of the Traverse Town/ dubbed Koko's group

"Oh just call me Neptune, miss makes me sound old." Neptune responded back happily, but before Merlin could answer the only man awakened from the newer group cut in

"Just wait up, one what the hell are you wearing old man, two why do the rest of you look so damn freaky and three…" The man stated as he looked at Compa with a perverted grin, moving his hands to grip the air in a groping motion "Nice boobs, mind if I have a squeeze?"

"No way!" Compa responded back as she covered her chest nervously, making the man laugh

"Oh that was priceless, you should have seen the look on your face!" The man said laughing loudly, though meanwhile Glynda decided to see if she could get an information out of him along with answering his questions; other than the last perverted one

"Excuse me sir, if I may have a moment of your time." Glynda asked as the man looked at her and went wide eyed a little as he took her hand suddenly, shaking it

"Well a fellow axis member, didn't know I'd find another one well anywhere. You're a lot better than the last one I meet. Oh and the name is Naoshi Kanno." Naoshi said, then got a good look at Glynda's eyes. Making him stop shaking her hand as he inspected her more "Wait a minute, you ain't Axis. Your eyes are green not blue, I mean you got the hair and skin color right. Wait if you ain't part of the Axis or are German, then your…"

"I am what?" Glynda asked as she felt this wa going to go bad once again

"Then you're a… YOU'RE A DAMN YANKEE!" Naoshi yelled out as he pulled a pistol and aimed it at Glynda's head. He would have pulled the trigger if his gun hadn't been shot out by Jonah, making Naoshi glare at the young boy "Brat, you almost blew my hand off !"

"He wouldn't have, I only told him to shoot your gun. But I can tell him along with my friends to kill you right now if you wanted to." Koko answered with a smile as the rest of her team along with Johnna aimed their guns right at Naoshi "So are you going to behave now or are we going to see what your insides look like?"

"Hey lady I don't think that would be a good idea to do." A fourth girl from the newer group sternly said. She had fair skin, messy light long brunette hair with a small green bow on the right and green eyes. She wore a black tank top/ short-shorts combo with silver lining and a belt around her waist. Over this was an oversized opened blue jacket with silver, black and white detailing; it also has a belt with oddly enough cell phones in various colors dangling from it. She wore a pair of brown boots and lastly wielded a pair of Qatar's she was point at the Traverse Town/ Koko's group. With her were two more girls

"What she said. So please lower your guns." The fifth new girl calmly said with a warm smile, she had fair skin, long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore an emerald green dress that had golden markings, with the top part of her skirt being a peach-orange color, along with a separate green and white collar with a red bow tied around it. She also wore a pair of loose green and white gloves, then lastly she wore a pair of black slip on's. She was pointing an iron lance at the group, though the kind smile she had made her somewhat creepy

"Yeah, I only remember this guy and his friends helping us out when we got attacked. I like to think that one way to repay them is to make sure none of them die here. Wherever here is, so please put the weapons; I wouldn't care to get blood on my clothing." The sixth new girl stated with a quiet, but somehow threatening tone. She had pale skin, blue eyes and short brown hair. Her outfit consisted of a big white cap with blue ruffles and brown-golden lining on her head. An opened white jacket with light brown fur, blue markings and dark brown linings. Underneath the opened jacket was a white dress with dark brown lining, along with a light blue choker with a blue gem in the center. Lastly, she wore a pair of blue sandals with white ribbons around her right leg. She wielded a large mallet and was pointing it towards the group with the intent to attack at any moment if needed

"Wait okay hold up, who are you three?" Solider 76 asked in a sudden fit of even more confusion

"Yeah it would be nice to know your names." Hana said kindly, though she was worried that this was going to bad turn once again

"Oh them, well IF is the one with one with the oversized jacket, Verts the blonde and Blanc is the one that's wearing the white cap." Neptune answered happily as Norie sighed a little

"Neptune it's kind of rude to speak for others you know." Norie stated as Neptune gave her a wider smile

"Aw don't be so grumpy Noire, besides it's quicker if I did it." Neptune responded back, but just then as if thing were tense enough another one of the men woke up

"What in the world…" The older looking man said as he rubbed his forehead. He had pale skin, short blonde hair, wore a pair of sandals, a white toga and had blues eyes which caught the sight of the rest. He would have said something, but just then was tackled to the ground by Naoshi as both men began to punch one another with fierce anger. Much to the confusion of the everyone else as they watched

"Wait what?" Twilight asked in bewilderment

"Yeah talk about instant hostility." Ugo remarked with a raised eyebrow at the two

"Indeed, I thought they were friends or that's what I came to since they showed up together with the rest." Rarity stated as both men began yelling at one another

"TAKE THIS YOU SPAGHETTI EATING, BACK STABBING BASTARD!" Naoshi screamed out as he landed a right hook on the newest awaken refuge

"SO YOUR SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE AS I DO NOW DO YOU, WELL IT WON'T HELP YOU SAVAGE. NOT IF SCIPIO AFRICANUS HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!" The man Scipio screamed back as he landed two hits across Naoshi's face, drawing a bit of blood. Though before anyone could break them up, another of one of the men had awakened. But instead of questioning anything, he immediately jumped on Naoshi's back and began bashing the side of Naoshi's head with his fist

"TAKE THIS YOU RASPBERRY THEIF, IF ANYONE TAKES DOWN THIS ROMAN IT'S ME HANNIBLE!" The old man named Hannibal yelled out. He had wrinkled tanned skin, grey hair/ goatee and one brown eye while the other was covered by a blue cloth wrapped around his head. He wore a ragged blue long sleeved shirt with bandages around his hands a pair of ragged blue pants and brown boots. The small brawl kept on as everyone form the Traverse town/ Koko's group and now Neptune's group watched in complete confusion on what was even going on at this point

"What is this even, that crazy guy was killed and then we get stuck with meeting more refuges. But unlike Koko's group here, the newer arrivals seem…" Robbie said, but didn't want to sound off as rude since the girl's part of the newer arrivals seemed nice enough; even if they were wielding weapons pointed at them currently. The men meanwhile were a lot more prone to violence as it was clearly being seen from the newer ones fighting each other

"Crazy Robbie?" Eileen asked as Robbie nodded, Eileen nodded back in agreement wondering how they could stop the three men from killing each other. The more numbers they had were in the end for the better against the heartless. But as she was thinking on this, suddenly a group of twelve shades and twelves soldiers appeared; getting everyone's attention as the Koko's group and the newer arrivals that were awake went a little wide eyed at the sight

"Ah, it's the creepy things again!" Neptune yelled out as she and her friend turned their attention towards the heartless, along with Koko's group. Naoshi, Scipio and the old man named Hannibal just got into defensive stances. Meanwhile out of the girls group, Compa pulled out a body sized syringe while Norie pulled out rapier. They moved up next to their friends and Neptune; all weapons ready for battle along with rest with only the last four new arrivals still out cold

"Those are heartless, things that want to kill us all by taking our hearts." Leon explained as he and the rest the Traverse town, other than Maria, the ponies and the Ghost Rider readied their weapons out too

"Heartless huh, you know looking at them they seem a little familiar." Lehm stated as he was starting to get some memories back, but not by much

"Either way, your all looking at the enemy we share. Something that will stop at nothing to take our hearts." Glynda remarked sternly as she kept her glare on the heartless

"Question is who's going to attack first?" Scipio asked as they along with the rest waited for the heartless to charge, though to their surprise about eight of the Shades were shot through the heads by arrows, another four were shot up by four bullets from two different guns by the sounds of it. Then the Solider were all that was left for only a few good seconds that is, another man came out in front of the others and killed the Soldiers quickly with a katana that he wielded. Each Solider being cut down by a slash from the man within mere second, then the group of heartless were gone just as quickly as they had appeared

"Wow." R stated with a wide eyed look as the man's swordsmanship was impressive

"Yeah wow." Hana responded back as she was surprised someone could take out that many soldiers that quickly. Though her train of thought was cut off by another man

"Pardon me, but could someone please explain what's going on?" A man asked kindly as the group turned to see him. He had pale skin, long black hair tied in a ponytail, a single blue eye with the other one covered by his hair, wore a blue Japanese archers attire that had a bit of armoring around his body. He work a pair of socks with sandals and he wielded a bow with a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. Lastly even though this person was male, he had a look that was more female like; making him the sudden envy of some of the women in the group

"HOW ARE YOU SO GOREGOUS?" Hana, Angela, Twilight, Rarity, Koko, Norie, Vert and IF asked in sudden shock of the man's looks. Feeling somewhat self-conscious about their own looks now, since he held looks that could rivals theirs

"Oh you've notice that. Well my family was known for their gorgeous looks with the males. Actually, out of all my brothers I'm considered the ugliest." The man explained as the others went into slight shock at that statement, the man just laughed at that a bit before taking a bow "Excuse me on my manners, I am Nasu Suketaka Yoichi or Yoichi as most call me by; and you can thank me for killing those creatures with my arrows."

"Um thanks, wait who shot the guns then?" Alfred responded this time, but then notice Wilily tapping him on the shoulder as he pointed to the last four men of the newer group who had woken up without their notice

One was a younger looking man with brown hair, peach skin and green eyes. He wore a tan clock with a brown jacket underneath it, underneath that was a red tucked in shirt, grey pants with a pistol holster and brown boots along with a pair of white gloves. Lastly he seemed to be one of the men who shot two of the heartless as he wielded a revolver with smoke still coming out of the barrel.

Another was a man that seem slightly older then the first one, he had pale skin, blue eyes, blonde hair/ mustache, wore a grey duster, a brown vest underneath, black pants, brown shoes, white gloves and turned out to be the second man to have shot at the heartless since he wielded a Winchester rifle with smoke also coming out of the barrel

The third man was the oldest looking of the bunch. He wore a dark blue navy uniform with a pair of white gloves, an admirals cap in dark navy blue colors and seem to have no weaponry. Along with the fact he also seemed way to calm currently.

The last man was middle aged as he had dark olive skin, a single brown eye, a black eyepatch over the left eye and a bit of stubble on his face. He wore a loose white shirt a black sash around his waist, black pants the stop a little passed his knees and wore a pair of two sandals. He held a large musket, but didn't seem to have used it against the heartless

The others just stared at these people with awkward stares, this whole situation was a cluster of confusion, weirdness and just getting more awkward by the second. Thankfully Yuffie got her sense back quickly enough to play peace keeper as she warily walked up to them.

"H-H-Hello, who would the rest of you nice men be?" Yuffie asked with the least nervous smile she could muster up as the four men looked at her

"What's with the outfit kid, you a brothel girl or something?" The eyepatch man asked as Yuffie's eye twitched a little

"Did you just ask if I was a hooker?" Yuffie asked back as she now wanted to hit the guy with her weapon badly, thankfully Bastion stepped in

"Vroop, boo, beep, boop!" Bastion sternly yelled out angry about the comment on Yuffie, though none of the new arrivals had any idea what he even said

"Is that a man made of metal Sunshine?" The first of the last awaken men asked the second man, as he eyed Bastion with caution

"Yeah it is Butch, pretty strange considering what we've already seen." Sunshine answered as he looked over to the third man "Hey ah, you got any of these in whatever era your come from mister…what's your name again?"

"Tamon Yamaguchi, you westerners don't pay attention much do you?" Tamon answered as he looked through his pocket in annoyance and then sighed "Anyone have a cigarette or something?"

"You know smoking is bad for you, like can kill you bad." Noire stated as Tamon looked at her with a bored expression "Um…"

"Did you know that wearing an outfit like yours could make most people look at you like a prostitute?" Tamon responded back calmly as Noire glared at the man

"W-W-WHAT DID YOU SAY, I'll KICK YOU BUTT OLD MAN!" Noire yelled out in a rage as she tried to lunge at the man, but as she was inched away from him. She was stopped by the eye patched man who was able to use his left arm to hold her back with not much trouble at all. Noire meanwhile struggled to escape the one-armed hold "LET ME GO, SO I KICK THIS GUY BUTT!"

"Calm down girl, your way to short tempered for you own good." The eye patch man stated as he hit Noire on the top of the head hard, then released her as she landed back on her feet; but rubbed the top of her head hard while Neptune ran up next to her

"Hey what's gives, you got some nerve hitting a pretty girl like Noire the away you did." Neptune sternly said as she crossed her arms giving the eye patch man a glare, in which he laughed at while Noire herself blushed a little from Neptune calling her pretty

"You must not know who I am if you're getting so testy with me little girl, but I got to give your credit for your bravery or foolishness." The eye patched man said as he gave the Neptune and the others a proud smirk "The names Oda Nobunaga!"

"You say that like we should know you." Leon, Yuffie, Vladimir, Eileen, Alfred and Neptune's group all said with deadpanned looks while the others stayed quiet; since some of these names seemed… familiar. Nobu seems to have his pride hurt from that

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, HERE TOO?" Nobu asked in disbelief as he suddenly looked toward the only girl in his group, still on the ground out cold. He knelt down to her as he then began shaking the woman violently by the shoulders "Hey wake up right now so you, so you can explain to these people the greatness that is me!"

"You know he seems scary at first, but now he seems oddly harmless." Mao stated as the others nodded in agreement at that

"Yeah and the other ones seem pretty harmless now too." Vert responded back as she along with the rest looked to the men, to see Butch along with Sunshine arguing with Yoichi over guns and bows. Hannibal and Scipio had stopped fighting with Naoshi, though both men still were glaring at one another in a silent stare off of sorts. Naoshi meanwhile had moved over to Tamon as both men seem to be talking with one another like old friends or acquaintances

"Definitely." Glynda replied back rubbing her eyes in frustration as she looked to Koko's and Neptune's groups minus their four still out cold friends with a kind smile at this point "I know we've somewhat introduced ourselves to one another, but maybe we can give more formal introductions now?"

"I don't see a problem with a that." Neptune happily said as she made her up to Glynda and Twilight who had made her way next to Glynda. Neptune then held her hand out to them "Hi I'm Neptune nice to meet ya!"

"Nice to meet you Neptune, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight responded back as she shook Neptune's hand with her hoof, getting a smile from the giggly girl as they released their hand/hoofs moments later

"And I'm Glynda GoodWitch." Glynda said kindly as she and Neptune shook hands, smiling at one another. As this happened everyone else looked at each other and just decided why not

So with that greetings, hellos and instructions went on. At one point Angela took it upon herself to even look over the still four out cold girls Nep-Nep who was Neptune's sister, Uni who was Norie little sister, then lastly the twins Rom and Ram who were Blanca's little sisters. Angel told them they were full okay, but just that they might have some bruising on their heads once they wake up; this brought relief to Neptune's group. A minuet more and all the groups other than the group of strange men had somewhat become more acquainted with each other. Then the newly forged Traverse Town guild as Hana, Vert and IF had suggested calling it looked back at the group of men still talking with each other. Along with the fact Nobu was still trying to wake up the woman of his group from what they all could tell, was pleads of broken pride. But one thing had escaped the Traverses town Guilds attention, the man that had killed the soldiers with his deadly sword skills. They looked towards him, to see he was still in the same exact spot looking down at the area he had killed the Soldiers at; like he was studying the area or something. This didn't go unnoticed by the his group or mainly just Yoichi who walked up to him and patted the man's shoulder, the man flinched just barley as he looked back at Yoichi who was giving him a smirk.

"Toyohashi, mind being so kind as to introduce yourself to our new…. allies in common." Yoichi suggested kindly as he motioned his hand to the Traverses town Guild, Toyohashi then looked at them group and did a bow

"I am Toyohashi Shimazu of the Shimazu clan." Toyohashi said calmly as he stayed in his lowered bowed position. On closer look, he was a slightly olive skinned man with short black hair and grey eyes. He wore a red coat with red steel arm guards. A pair black cotton pants with red armor covering portions of the legs and a white cloth tied around it. Lastly, he wore white socks and sandals

"Thank you kindly young man, might I say your skills with a sword are impressive." Merlin stated kindly

"Totally!" Neptune happily said as some of the others in the Traverses town guild agreed with Merlin's statement

"Thanks, the Shimazu clan ain't ones to screw with." Toyohashi replied back with a proud smirk, then looked to see Nobu still trying to wake up the girl he was yelling at "She's out cold old man, she ain't waking up."

"BUT I NEED HER TO SO SHE CAN EXPLAIN MY GREATNESS TO THESE PEOPLE!" Nobu said as for some odd reason he groped the girls…chest with his right hand "SHE BETTER WAKE UP NOW!"

"Now that's just mess up dude!" Hana, Yuffie, Rarity surprisingly, Vert, Valmet and Norie yelled out; but in a twist of event/ instant karma. The girl woke up startled and punched Nobu across the face with a left hook, sending the man a little ways back on the ground as he groaned in slight pain

"I KEEP TELLING YOU NOT TO DO THAT YOU DIRTY OLD MAN!" The woman yelled out angrily as she took a deep breath to calm herself down. The woman in question had teal eyes, light silver hair, pale skin and wore a white long sleeved jacket with the lower part consist of white short-shorts. She also wore white gloves, a white cap, a pair of glass and two teal bows in her hair; which was tied in long pig tails. Lastly, she wore a pair of teal and white stripped long sock that went up to her thighs along with a pair of white high heeled boots

"And that is what we call Karma." Lehm stated with a smirk as he found it funny how the man got the light knocked out of him

"Very good karma to be exact." Angela happily responded back as she then walked over to the woman who took notice of her and got a little nervous "Oh wait, don't worry dear we're all friends here. What's your name, also does he really grope you all the time?

"One yes he does, but in all honestly he's just an old man and my name is ah…" The woman began to say shyly, though she saw that Angela was a nice woman. She still was wary, mostly because she could tell she was currently in a different place all together

"Don't worry, she said we're friends. So no need to worry right?" Jonah said with a calm tone as he made his way over to the women, he gave Angela a blank expression which made it hard for her to tell what he was feeling. But she smiled warmly back at the young boy despite this, then turned her attention back to the woman

"Right, Johan." Angela warmly responded back, then looked back at the woman "See, we're all friend."

"Yeah… I guess so, I'm Olminu." Olminu said happily as she got back up to her feet and dusted herself off. She then saw the others and became curious about them. Then she spotted Neptune's, Norie's and Blanca sisters; then suddenly ran up to them to see if they were alright

"Wait what?" IF asked a little confused by Olminu's action as she inspected the four younger sisters

"Nepgear, Uni, Rom, Ram what happened?" Olminu asked worriedly as the others from her group looked at her oddly

"You know them?" Butch asked as Nobu made his way back up to his feet rubbing his cheek, getting a snicker out of Butch "She got ya good old man."

"Shut up." Nobu responded back as he looked back at Olminu "Still you know them?"

"Of course I do, don't the rest of you remember?" Olminu stated as she looked back to the rest of the men in her group "Don't any of you remember?"

"Ah…" The men of Olminu's group responded back, shrugging and grunting since they had no memory what so ever in the events until they arrived in Traverse town

"For real, just great." Olminu's said pinching the bridge of her nose in slight frustration, then turned her attention towards the Traverse Town guild; more to be exact Neptune and her friends "You girls remember don't you?"

"I don't sorry." Compa answered first with an apologetic frown

"Me either, then again I do remember getting a hard blow to the head." IF answered second, as she rubbed her head from sudden memory of pain

"Same here, though I do remember I think you and your friends coming into our world…somehow." Blanca said this time as she was annoyed by the fact she couldn't remember much

"Same." Vert said now with a pouty frown, then she wondered something else "Still I wonder how you all even got into our world, before we all ended up here of course."

"I'm curious too, it's not every day we end up in a completely different world. Even us and you know what we've had to deal with." Noire remarked with a small smile to her group

"Defiantly Noire!" Neptune happily replied back as she gave Noire a hug "But we always beat it and I don't remember anything either!"

"Don't hug me so tightly…" Noire responded back with a slight blush, then looked to Olminu along with the rest "Look maybe we can talk about this in a more appropriate place."

"Statement: Miss Noire brings up a sound point. To avoid any more troublesome interruptions. We should head to a safer location." HK-97 suggested as he looked to Leon "Question: Mister Leon, may you please lead us back to the hotel?"

"Um, sure." Leon said, still warry of the droid. He then looked over to the others who were waiting to see what he was going to say "Okay, again I know this might be weird for all of you. But you'll get your answers, that's a promise. Oh and if a few of you could help move the girls still out cold back to hotel, that would be helpful."

With that the entirety of the Traverses town guild began making their way off to get answers for their newer members, heal the wounded in a more sterile area and try to get back some more normalcy again even if some of the newer Traverse town guild members were wary still themselves of this whole situation. Meanwhile Toyohashi, Bastion, Ugo and Valmet volunteered to take the four young girls still out cold to the hotel. As they made their way out, Leon and the rest who had already met team RWBY prior; wondered how they were doing currently. Though for team RWBY, they were getting close to resolving their current issue

-Back with Ikail, Donald, Dante, Blake and Yang-

"Oh thank god were here, I thought we were almost there before but I guess we weren't." Yang said as she, Blake, Donald, Dante and Ikail had finally made it to where Tarzan was. How they knew what that they saw a few of the younger baby gorillas playing with one another, so that was a good indication

"But we are now, question is where Tarzan is because?" Blake responded as they kept on walking through the area of gorillas who were either sleeping or cleaning one another by picking out bugs from their fur

"He could be anywhere really, huh maybes he's up in the trees?" Donald suggested as Blake and Yang sighed at the thought of that, mostly because they hated having to climb up the trees so much in this place. It was maddening to deal with after a while, even if they had only done it a few times

"Please no, climbing those trees were tiring enough as they were." Blake remarked with another tired sigh "Let's hope we can find Tarzan soon, I'm worried about what Kerchak will do to him."

"I agree, the large ape doesn't seem to have a fondness of Tarzan." Dante stated as they passed a few more gorillas, oddly enough though some of the females were following behind Donald. Dante snickered a little at that "Seems like your gaining a little fan club Donald."

"Wait what?" Donald asked worriedly as he looked back to see the female gorilla's giving him flirty smiles

"Aw, that's so cute." Ikail remarked with a giggled as Donald was now being followed by even more of the female gorilla's

"I am so glad Daisy ain't here, she'd have my tail if she found out about this." Donald stated with a sudden shiver of fear at what his girlfriend would do to him. As much as he loved her, he had to admit that Daisy had a tendency to jump to conclusions way to quickly

"Don't worry Donald we won't tell." Yang responded with a kind smile, then she finally spotted Tarzan. He was sitting looking out towards some of the tree in the area, but it seemed like he was deep in thought

"Hm, who's going to snap him out of the obvious daze he's in?" Blake asked as Yang smiled widely and made her way quietly for once over to Tarzan. She then took a quiet deep breath and was about to attempt to try making an animal noise. She waited for a few more moments before deciding to let out her animal roar, but she was cut off as Tarzan looked back at her with a smirk

"Hey Yang." Tarzan calmly said as Yang let out the air from her lungs from her failed attempt to scare him

"How did you know it was me?" Yang asked as the others made their way up now

"It's easy to tell, you're a little too loud with your movements." Tarzan explained with a smug smile

"I guess I have to work on my stealth still then." Yang said with a quick laugh, then donned on a more concerned look "Still are you doing okay buddy, you seemed a little out of it."

"Yeah, does it have to do with what happened with Jane?" Blake asked as Tarzan sighed a little while getting back up

"Can't say really, I mean that's one part of it. I'm just thinking is all, about a few things really." Tarzan explained, but just then he along with the rest took notice that the gorillas were making their way passed them

"What's going on?" Ikail asked confused by this, just then Kala caught up to them

"Kala, hey what's happeing?" Blake asked this time as Kala gave her a worried look

"Kerchak is calling for a meeting with everyone. He just needed to check up on something beforehand. Now that he's done, he sent me to tell everyone here to attend his meeting. Will you accompany me and Tarzan please? Maybe an outside perspective could help with this." Kala kindly asked

"Sure we'll come, but will Kerchak be mad at all when he sees us?" Blake asked a little worried on possibly having to defend herself against a silver back gorilla like Kerchak

"He'll be passively hostile towards you all probably, but just keep a strong face and you should be fine." Kala answered as she made her way off, but not before looking back at them "Come along, it won't be good if we keep the rest waiting."

"Right, let's go." Yang happily said as she, Blake, Dante, Ikail and Donald followed behind Kala along with Tarzan moments later. As they kept on making their way to the meeting area, they group noticed that the place had become silent and more eerie even. A minuet more than the group, Tarzan and Kala made their way finally to where the meeting was being taken. They all took notice that the gorillas were sitting upon the branches surrounding the place. Along with noticing that the sun rays of the sun going down poked through where Kerchak was brightly

"I wonder what's going to happen now?" Blake asked quietly as Yang, Ikail, Dante and Donald wondered too

"He's gonna talk about the issues with the creature that look like Tarzan here I'm guessing." Terk answered as she made her way up near them

"Hey Terk, so that's what they're going to talk about." Blake stated with a worried tone "I hope this doesn't go bad.."

"Same here Blake, but I think Kerchak is starting." Ikail answered as she and the rest looked to see the other gorillas paying attention to Kerchak now, in absolute silence

"You all know this is a sudden change in our usual patterns, from our early migration to a new nest and this meeting itself. I called for this because of a…issue we have. One involving new creatures that have come into our home, ones that are much different from us." Kerchak explained as the gorillas began getting loud with questions, fearful screaming and expressing worries that they had

"Just saying the word different and they all start freaking out." Ikail said worriedly as she looked at Dante with a warm smile "But at least out little group is a more tolerant sort, right Dante?"

"Right." Dante answered back, hoping she or the others didn't notice the slight crack in his tone as he began remembering some of the atrocities that happened during his time at the crusade…primarily the ones he did. But as he began thinking into the memories deeper, he was suddenly brought back by Blake and Yang who tugged at his arms. He looked down at them with a confused look "Sorry, something happen girls?"

"No, we just noticed you spacing out dude." Yang answered with a concern look

"Dante is anything wrong, did that devil from your world contact you again?" Blake asked as she had a concerned look also

"It's nothing girls really." Dante answered with the best kind smile he could muster up, but before Blake or Yang could respond back; the gorillas began screaming louder wanting a solution to this sudden issue. Which Kerchak quickly responded to

"As of now, no one is to go near them or even look at them. The more we stay away from these creatures the better." Kerchak sternly said as the Gorillas began cheering a little from the sound plan

"He's already made a plan, not a good sounding one if you ask me." Donald stated with a frown

"Yeah, I got to agree with that and I don't think he's gonna change his mind." Yang responded back as she sighed at Kerchak apparent paranoid. Though she took notice at Kala trying to calm down an aggravated Tarzan "That doesn't look good."

"These rules go for you all too, do not lets them see you and again do not seek them out." Kerchak sternly said once more as Tarzan move up towards him, over the point of sound thinking

"Tarzan wait!" Blake yelled out, but it was too late as Tarzan had already gotten Kerchak attention; which in turn made the other gorillas shut their mouths

"They're not a threat Kerchak!" Tarzan stated angrily as he and Kerchak glared at one another

"Tarzan, I don't know them." Kerchak replied back as he gave a threatening tone

"Alright that's it." Yang said, angry herself now with Kerchak as she made her way up next to Tarzan to back him up. Blake did the same as she was fuming a little at the intolerants Kerchak was showing, it reminded her of the some of the humans back on Remnant who behaved the same way with the Faunas population. Kerchak turned his attention to them with a wary glare, but Yang just huffed a little "Look dude, you have us here and we've proven enough to be help. Even our friends who aren't with us right now, they proved that they're were trustworthy and most of us are the same species as these so called 'creatures' as you call them. So I really don't see a problem."

"She's right you know, they're all….most of them just want to meet you. You're just being way to paranoid of them, instead of giving them a chance." Blake stated very angrily as she crossed her arms

"I took a risk of letting you and your friends stay because Kala gave you her benefit of a doubt even if I still don't trust you lot much." Kerchak responded back as he wasn't going to back down from Blake or Yang

"You may not know them, but I me and friends do." Tarzan said as he glared at Kerchak more intensely

"You and your friends here maybe willing risk our safely, but I'm not." Kerchak remarked in scolding tone

"Why are you threaten by anyone who different from you!?" Tarzan asked in a sudden hint of rage as he moved his face right up to Kerchak with a threatening glare, while Kerchak growled a little and bared his teeth. This made Blake, Yang, Ikail, Dante and Donald suddenly get themselves ready for a fight if needed. Thankfully it didn't come to that as Kerchak seem to calm down just a little

"Protect this family and stay away from them." Kerchak said in a tone that easily could be deciphered as 'Don't push it.' Tarzan glared at Kerchak for a few more moments before walking off, with Blake and Yang following behind

"Tarzan please, just this once don't fight Kerchak on this." Kala asked with a pleading tone as she place her hand on his back, but Tarzan just shrugged her hand off

"Other than the girls and the rest here, but why didn't you ever tell me there were creatures like me beforehand." Tarzan asked angrily as he walked off and up to the top of a high branch, looking out to the sunset in a state of questioning his identity. Blake and Yang were about to go up to see if they could help him through this, but Dante stopped them

"I don't think that would be good to do right now ladies, it would be for the best if he thinks of this on his own." Dante explained as the girls sighed

"I guess so, still I feel bad for the dude." Yang stated as Blake patted her shoulder in agreement

"The fact you girls wanted to help him out, even if he didn't want the help is admirable already." Ikail remarked with kind smile

"Thanks Ikail." Blake replied back as she looked to Kala "I'm sure he'll be fine and not to be a burden. But it's getting late and the jungle will become much more dangerous then, I can already tell that. So would it be okay if we stay here for the night?"

"It's no issues, you ladies and your friends have been good to my son. It's the least I can do." Kala answered as she looked over to Terk who had stayed quiet for most of this time "Terk would you lead them to the spare leaf beds?"

"Sure thing aunty Kala, well come on." Terk said as she began making her way towards the nests. The group looked at one another worried a bit about the Ruby, Weiss, Goofy and Guin's safety back at the camp; especially with that Clayton guy there. But their worries were quickly gone when they remembered that the others could hold their own very well. So with that, they followed Terk and wanting nothing more than a well needed rest now

-The nests later that night with Bake and Yang-

"Hm…" Blake muttered as she wasn't having a great time falling asleep, not because of the leaf bed she was laying in with Yang who had he arms wrapped around her waist. No that she enjoyed greatly, what was keeping her awake was those same two questions the Cheshire Cat had asked her to think on back in Wonderland. She didn't know why, but watching the events playing out in this world with Tarzan, his family and the humans that have come into it. Blake though more deeper on the Cheshire cats questions. She wondered when she should tell her friends about her little…secret. The fact that she's a cat Faunas, she was worried they'd be mad at her for keeping this about herself away from them. Blake was especially worry that her friends Ruby and Weiss would hate her, though Yang was what had been making her hesitant in revealing her secret. She was so scared that Yang would leave, then the rest would follow and with that she'd be all alone. But as she kept thinking on her paranoid induced thoughts conjured up by her own self-doubt, suddenly she was cut off from those said thoughts by Yang who kissed her on the cheek accompanied by a quiet loving laugh

"Hey Blake, you okay. Your being all squirming and stuff so I got a little worried something was wrong." Yang stated as she hugged Blake's waist a little tighter, Blake herself turned her body around till she was face to face with her girlfriend and gave her an apologetic smile

"I'm sorry Yang, I've just been thinking on a few things…" Blake explained with a sigh

"What kind of things?" Yang asked kindly as Blake seemed hesitant to answer, Yang then stroked her cheek giving a warm smile back "You know you can tell me anything right, I'll love you no matter what. Till the ends of our lives together to be more exact."

"You really mean that, don't you?" Blake shyly responded back as Yang kissed her passionately on the lips for a few seconds, Blake kissed back with the same amount of passion until they retracted from one another with a quickly chuckled at the end

"I think that's your answer hun, so ready to tell me?" Yang asked as Blake sighed once more before sitting up, Yang got back up herself as she waited to hear what Blake had been wanting to tell her and the rest for a while now

"I guess…but…but you won't…you won't be mad, will you?" Blake asked nervously as Yang raised a concerned eyebrow at the question

"Why would you ask that, never. I'm sure you kept this secret of you're a secret for some reason." Yang answered with an honest tone as Blake nervously sighed

"Right, sorry I'm just nervous is all. Anyways, what I've been wanting to tell you all is…well…" Blake began to say, but stopped herself as she took of her bow; finally revealing her two cat ears to Yang

"Blake, you're a…" Yang said in a sudden surprise as Blake closer her eyes, worried of what was to come next. But to Blake's own surprise Yang hugged her tightly "You're a super cute cat faunas!"

"Wait what, I thought you'd be mad. Say that you hate me for keeping this so long, hate me because I am-" Blake began to responded back, but stopped when Yang kissed her once more. But this one was a kiss of love, pure passion and devotion all in one. It went on for a few seconds before they retracted, both girls breathing in slightly for air

"I…I never would hate you… I just…just said that. I'll love you…love you to the very ends of times if possible." Yang stated proudly as she and Blake took a few more breaths before finally catching their breaths. Yang then held both Blake's hands in both of hers and placed them right in the center of her chest making Blake blush a little, while Yang gave her a serious look "Blake I will always be yours, my body, soul, mind and heart. No matter what and that's a promise, a promise forever."

"You're getting better at this romantic stuff you know that." Blake said putting her bow back on, then laying back down with Yang holding her close to her own body

"I'm trying kitten, still I'm really glad you told me this and I'm sure the others will accept you after you tell them." Yang stated proudly "Even Weiss, despite her family's history with Faunas."

"Thank you Yang, I'm so glad to have you and the others in my life." Blake happily stated as she nuzzled her face into Yang's neck and closed her eyes "I think I can finally sleep now."

"Same here Blakey, same here." Yang answered back happily as she and Blake finally went to sleep, both feeling peaceful this night. But the days of peacefulness in this world were coming to their end and the girls along with the rest would be finally facing the darkness that plague this place so deeply…

But I have ways of implementing it to work. Anyways until the next chapter I hope you all have an amazing day!
