At South City, Emily used a cloaking device to relocate herself and Weiss from the others. She then thought, "Was it wise to capture the ex-heiress? This is Ayame Kajou, after all…"
She and Weiss were on a truck, as Weiss was still out cold, knocked out from the ether.
Meanwhile, Yozuki was waiting in the hotel, as she was waiting for her target. Enju was in her room, as she was relaxing. She said that they're checking out, after they find Weiss.
Asahi requested, "Enju, you're in charge of watching Mio & Tohka. Riho, Usagi, Tenma, and I will find Weiss. We're checking out, but we'll give you a call if we're done."
She gave her the room key and said, "Room 507… Alright. Good luck finding Schnee-san. Or rather, break a leg."
Asahi glared, "If I find who kidnapped Weiss Schnee, I will literally break his or her legs." She walked off, "The real tragedy is… We lost one city, thanks to Kajou's Hitmen."
Enju said, "Well, hopefully, if we defeat Kajou-san, she finally gets what she deserves."
Asahi smiled and nodded, "Later."
Enju went to Room 507, as the others were leaving. Enju arrived, and she saw Mio relaxing and Tohka gnawing on bread. She said to them, "Ladies, we have Sakurai-san on the hunt for Schnee-san. So, I'm watching over you two."
Tohka scoffed, "Whatever, Mom." Mio said, "Just… Keep me away from her…"
Enju asked, "Why are you two being distant? You know that Kajou wants that."
Tohka said, "Sorry… But it seems that we have had dark visions. She… She and I… We're not friends."
Enju said, "I'd like to know what possessed you to hate each other. Asahi said that you two were hurt emotionally, and that you know each other…"
Mio sighed and said, "It's not like dreams. But Tohka… Seeing is believing. I had that vision again… and again… and again… A vision of me. Only, she's NOT me. Oh, Jesus…" She sobbed, "And the strange thing is that she killed lots… I lost Ritsu in that dream, and then Tory, Maylu, Lan, Mugi, Azusa… even Yui… and Geo… And the horrifying part about this… the person that killed was me! I'm like… one of those evil vampires in these horror movies that I hated."
Tohka sobbed and said, "You had a vision… I had one like that. Shido… was just a head. And I… I was powerless to bring him back. My friends are all dead… and the person that killed Shido… was you. Only she had longer lavender hair, but she wasn't Reine, it was your voice. And deep down, she told me… "You did this. I only watched and observed. It was easy". But the hair was not you, but the voice was exact…"
Enju paused and asked, "uhhh… Who?"
Tohka whispered, "Reine Murasame… She goes by another name… Phantom. And another name… Mio." She was referring to another Mio – Mio Takamiya.
Mio asked, "That's a lie. I would never do such a thing. Why say it's me? Was I… a Spirit, too?"
Tohka glared at you, "I don't know… but every time I hear your name, it reminds me of Reine. Why does it portray me to hate you? Reine's in jail, and I'm stuck with a normal human being that bitches and moans about her past life! You're full of shit, Akiyama. I mean, I'm not too smart, but if you mix the Mio's name I know of, it spells out your last name, minus one letter."
"Akiyama with one letter?" Enju asked. "Yatogami-san! Who was the other Mio you know of?"
"I… I don't know…" She sniffled, "But…"
"Quit blaming me for your boyfriend's death!" Mio barked, "It's not even real, and Shido said that he's at home, telling the others about it! Not that I care for that pervert, anyways…"
"TAKE IT BACK!"
"FUCK YOU!"
Enju yelled, "STOP IT, YOU TWO!" She separated them and shouted, "LISTEN! That is the last thing I want. You two cannot argue with each other, because of your dreams. That's a coincidence. It could've been another Mio."
Tohka shouted, "NO! SHE'S MIO!"
Mio yelled, "I SAID, LEAVE ME OUT OF YOUR FUCKING DREAMS, TOHKA!"
"SCREW YOU, BASS MOUTH!"
"BASS MOUTH?!"
BOOM! CRACK!
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Mio & Tohka shrieked, as Enju shot her lightning at them, nearly at their feet. They trembled, as Enju said, "You two need a time-out…"
Mio barked, "You're not our mother."
Tohka sobbed, "Please don't shoot lightning again, Miss Enju…"
Enju walked off and said, "I need time alone. But maybe you two can settle your differences, yourself. And if I see you or sense you bicker and fight again…"
Tohka sobbed, "We won't! Just don't go all Zeus on us!"
Enju yelled, "If you keep fighting, you can consider this punishment! NOW BEHAVE!"
SLAM!
She slammed the door, as Mio & Tohka turned away from each other, and folded their arms.
"Hmph!" They both scoffed, turning away.
Enju walked down the hallway, and she saw a figure in a revealing blue ninja outfit. She was also wearing a blue mask, covering her head. Enju gasped, as she hid behind the corner, armed with a kunai. She thought, "That body… She looks familiar…"
The ninja vanished, as Enju chased after her. She said, "What's a ninja doing in South City? Is she an accomplice to Kajou's hentai work, or did Zina or Beretta sent me one of their informants?"
She ran all the way up to the rooftop, and she called out, "HEY! Who are you?"
The ninja stopped, and she turned to Enju. She said, "Weiss Schnee. You know that name, right? Are you Obnubi or MEA?"
"MEA." The ninja said.
"Good… Suou-san should assist, too. Listen, Weiss Schnee is kidnapped. Do you know where she is? We have a search party hunting her down, as we speak." She instructed, "Send a message to Suou-san and Beretta… that we want MEA's help on this."
The MEA Ninja said, "Why should I?" She glared at her, "After all, you chose to help lead Obnubi, after it folded… and you want my help? After everything?"
Enju barked, "LISTEN TO ME! This is Ayame Kajou's doing! I need information on Cinder Fall and her accomplice. They're working together. Cinder is a notorious criminal, and Ayame Kajou's a nefarious terrorist."
"And?"
Enju hollered, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN "AND"?! You should know that if Kajou kills Weiss, it's all over! Team RWBY was captured by Kajou, but Weiss survived."
She said to Enju, "Good story, Enju… That should really make a fun Ninja Manga. Too bad it's all true. And I only believed your story. However…" She brandished two swords and said, "That's not why I'm here."
"You…" She prepared to fight, "You traitor! You would be ordered to kill me? MEA will hear of this!"
"You want me to cry to your Mommy, Enju?" The ninja hissed, "Luger already knows, and she won't stop you…"
"Luger… Mother…" Enju gasped, as she whispered, "Noctiflora-san?!"
Yozuki unmasked herself and was in a stoic glare. She whispered, "Hello, Enju Saion-Ji…"
"You're betraying us? Who hired you to do so? Kajou?"
"The same."
"But why? Why are you turning on us? We're Real Ninja Seeking Club members in Obnubi!"
Yozuki glared at her and said, "We are… but that's not the point. I'm a ninja, and I'm a hired gun. When I am hired to hunt down my enemy, I am willing to do so. Bookie knows that, too. Why do you think she betrayed you lot, just to stop Leifiv from making his mistakes? Even Darling doesn't know what happened, yet he forgave Bookie, too. And that's swell…"
"Most horrible moment of my life… But Suou-san never explained, when Derringer fired the asshole. I never get her, sometimes… in school or at work. We're from opposite worlds, and you already know that if a ninja is hired to do the job, you follow through. But you're siding with the wrong team, AK."
"What happened to Noctiflora-san?"
"I'm using your codename, only because Mother and Johnny's grandfather, among others, call you in MEA. You don't deserve my respect!"
"You're smart." Yozuki said, "Anyways, when I was hired for the job, Borchardt (Iori) said to reconsider. Yes, you guys are my friends… but Luger said that you have to. I'm aware that she's evil, but I have no choice. Besides…" She grinned evilly, "You know exactly what I wanted."
She walked around the roof, armed with her swords, and said to her, "Ever since we formed the Ninja Seeking Club, you were trying to shut it down… I made my own, as a founder, and I've beaten you. Let alone, you showed your bodere side, rather than a tsundere."
"Bodere's not even a word."
"And why is that? You are mad at me, because I'm a goofball, who loves ninja manga and Darling? I may be foreign, but I'm still as hot as you…" She smirked, "And why Darling wants a hot sexy ninja ass, like me… Sexually fantastic… It proves that I'm more of the hot bombshell than you ever were… That's why I went after you. I didn't want to, at first, but… then I remembered… Johnny got to date a siren, but Darling had to date a bully."
Enju shouted, "Is that what this is about? You still blame me for taking Kazuki from all of you?" Yozuki giggled, as Enju yelled, "If you want an apology, you've wasted it! I'm never apologizing to anyone that resents me for taking my man! Besides… You got a piece of him, anyways."
Yozuki huffed, "That doesn't count." She held the sword and said, "What's it going to be? You think you can use me, as a cameo star in your harem? Or are you going to admit it… that it wasn't you that made Obnubi and MEA what they are… it was him?"
Enju glared at her, "You dirty backstabbing bitch!"
Yozuki laughed, "Thank you… MEA was once on your enemy list, but we got along. But I will never forgive you for taking him away from me!"
They dashed forward, and they clashed blades at each other. Enju pushed her back and roared, "You're still weak, Noctiflora-san! My grandfather trained me, long before Kikuko-san trained me too. And I'm still the #1 ninja in the group!"
Yozuki kicked her down and slashed her with her dual blades. She called out, "You stole everything from me! Hell, Ran hates me, too, because I stole her thunder!"
"That was different! And besides, it was doomed to fail, during a pandemic!"
"And you were still the ugliest bitch I met!"
"UGLY?!"
She shot lightning at her, but Yozuki said, "Up yours, Pikachu!" She slashed down, and Enju was struck hard. Enju dropped to one knee, as she moaned, "She's… She's not that strong… What did Kajou do to her?"
Yozuki's eyes were glazed and mesmerized, as she was laughing demonically, "Darling… I get to kill Enju Saion-Ji. And then, you will be mine!"
Enju gasped, "She's turned!" She avoided the blade strike and landed a series of kicks to her chest. She hit her with a backhand, and Yozuki landed on her feet. Yozuki dashed at her with her blades, and Enju vanished in a cloud of smoke. She was up in the air and hit a Curb Stomp to the floor. Enju gasped, as she smashed a log. Yozuki leapt down from above and yelled, "SIMPLE TRICKS!"
SLASH!
Enju was struck hard, and her clothes were shattered. Enju dropped down, and Yozuki walked slowly to her. Yozuki smiled, "That's too bad. I was hoping for a challenge, but all you were doing is sitting behind the office desk, masturbating to Darling… It makes me sick!"
Enju covered herself and sobbed, "Noctiflora-san… You're not you."
Yozuki bowed her head and said, "I am sorry. But if I have an order, I must carry on with it. Darling would understand… but he's not here."
Enju was stunned, as she sobbed, "You can't… We're supposed to be friends, and allies…"
"You should've thought about that, before you married him…"
SLASH!
Enju was struck down, and her ninja outfit was tattered. Enju was lifeless, as she groaned, "Kazu… ki…" She reached for the exit, but she passed out, and was lightly bleeding.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yozuki laughed, "I WON! I beat Enju, AGAIN!" Her laughs echoed, as Enju was unconscious.
Mio heard a laugh, as she asked, "What was that?" she barked, "And where are you going?" Tohka was leaving.
"Enju's in trouble!" Tohka barked, "Not that you cared, but she's an ally of ours!"
Mio held her staff and said, "NO! I'm saving her."
"You're still bitching over my vision?! I'm going!"
"I heard it first!"
They argued, as they were fighting near the door. Tohka roared, "Alright… NO ONE leaves!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
They turned away and huffed. But then… they were nervous, as they were shakened. Mio cried, "Asahi said that… What if she found Weiss?"
Tohka wept, "Noooooooo…" They barged out of the door, and started running to the area. Mio roared, "Do you have any idea where she went?"
"She's up on the roof!"
"But that's way too high!"
"Grow some balls and move!"
"Hey, fuck you, bread eater!"
"Tea guzzler!"
They started exchanging words of insults, on their way to the roof.
Up on the roof, Enju was lifeless. Yozuki smirked, "Yet another failed experiment." She held her sword up and was about to stab her down, "Time to die…"
She then paused and said, "No… That would be too easy…" she picked up Enju and said, "No… You deserve much more than an honorable death. Bookie's as sick as Kajou, yet compared to Bookie, Kajou's the devil… and you're just living in her world."
She approached the edge of the roof and said, "20 stories below… and then… SPLAT! So sad that you'll never see Darling again. I'll tell him you died of an accident… and he'll accept me, too… I'm not a replacement… or a spare wife… I'm a ninja."
Tohka & Mio arrived, as Mio shrieked, "NOOOOOOOO!"
Yozuki smiled, "Two more? Good…" She pushed Enju off the roof, and then winked, "Oops!"
Tohka and Mio shrieked, as Enju was falling, "ENJUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Meanwhile, in another city, Weiss was waking up, as she was inside a small cell, shackled up. She gasped, "Eh? Wh-? What is this?"
Emily walked out of her lab and said, "Should be just about done. Prototype Phase is in progress… Testing shall commence, once the original obtains knowledge."
"Original? Testing? Prototype?!" Weiss cried. "YOU! YOU DID THIS TO ME! LET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Emily smiled, "Ahhhh… Weiss-01… Or Weiss Prime."
"Weiss Prime?"
"I want to thank you for being my test subject… You see, I wasn't clear of my conditions to you. You see, we're in my neck of the woods. You're in Targus City."
Weiss asked, "Targus City?"
Emily said, "And don't think you can use your, uh… weird phone thing for help. I confiscated it… Your weapon, however, you must've lost it."
Weiss growled, "No… Kidnapped by a mad scientist."
"OY, CUNT! Don't call me a mad doctor! People like them are nuts."
"Sorry… But what should I call you, someone who's evil and wicked to the core?"
"I'm not wicked… I have a thing for beauty, in a more scientific approach."
"Just… Just who are you?"
Emily bowed, "Emily Maynard, at your service. Daughter of the Great Hero of Argos. Miranda Maynard."
"I've heard stories about you… You're the daughter of a legend!"
"Aye, glad you heard of Mother, Weiss Schnee. But I chose to follow her footsteps, too… of course, science and biology made me a brilliant mind. Brains and brawn are perfect for battle. Why do you think Goku, Luffy, Naruto, Kinnikuman, and Spyro the Dragon all came that way? Because they were mouth-breathing morons. RUBBISH! My mother was like that. She was brilliant, with good grades, but she has a thing against mazes, especially dungeons! And she grew to be a legendary hero, ending sorceresses, warlocks, and dragons. And she even saved my life. And I chose the sword to continue her legacy! …or at least that's what my destiny was for."
Weiss asked, "Then… Why become a scientist?"
Emily said, "Just to continue on a future for this world. We're at the cusp of concluding this pandemic. And we're on our way to breakthroughs!" She held Weiss by the chin, and grinned, "Of course, I can always have curves in my subjects. Yours will do fine…"
Weiss blushed heavily, as Emily said, "And before you ask… I'm gay." She let go.
Weiss said, "I didn't ask, but… I'm not alone."
Emily said, "Ah, yes. Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna. I say about bloody well time. Nine years? Ten? Maybe 11, if you didn't kiss sooner! But you… Where's your love? You're from parts unknown."
"Excuse me? I'm from Atlas!"
"Like I said, a nobody from parts unknown!"
Weiss was in disdain, as she was sad, "Oh… right… Atlas… is gone. Like Beacon. I know you're the daughter of a hero, but you're wicked… Why side with Kajou, just for your insatiable lust for science?"
Emily said, "Well, you could say that I have so much knowledge to learn about you Remnant folk. Right. You once had a Dust Company. I am surprised that you use it for combat. Targus City has a supply of it, only for a limited time. Because, yes, S-D-C is R-I-P."
A view of Targus City's shops are shown, as Dust was on sale.
"Remnant Dust, perfect for Weaponizing your own tools. Limited time only. Once it's gone, it's gone."
A gynoid in blue hair was malfunctioning, as she had some red dust that she bought.
Emily added, narrating, "I forgot to tell you… We're in a city full of male and female androids, living together in a perfect society… and Remnant Dust can be dangerous. In retrospect, next time, Jacques Schnee should put a warning label on your so-called dust, and warn the citizens of a possible crash in their systems! Though… I wouldn't recommend using your worthless dust for my project, because you're so goddamned cheap now, like your asshole father! I wouldn't risk it, since the dust took 27 fembots and 8 mandroids, this month alone."
The blue-haired robot crashed herself and powered down, dropping her red dust, shattering it into powder. Her body was smoking profusely.
Cut back to Weiss, as she barked, "WORTHLESS?!" She complained, "I'll have you know that the Remnant Dust is very powerful! Even if you give these machines dust, they'll have a tough time using it! I know my dust, and I know my knowledge of all the elements. But if you think I'd cooperate with a heroine-turned-scientist, you're crazy. You sided with Kajou, all because–."
"I'm aware of your sister, Winter."
"Eh?"
"She had no right… I know we're all alone… but I can even tell you… I hated Ayame Kajou. She wouldn't die. I once created a clone of her, a la Frankenstein. But she was too abnormal. So, she was destroyed…"
"How?"
"I joined the mafia, to pay off some debts. Sadly, it folded, after the mob boss was killed, and a new boss was chosen. And I quit the mafioso, after I abandoned them."
"You're a traitor to the mafia?"
"Was a traitor. After new management, the Boss accepted my resignation, and all my debts were cleared. Lost a few lives, along the way." Emily grinned, "But I moved on, hoping I never run into those puttanas and stronzos again. They do drugs, sell drugs to minors, and even make dirty money on sales!"
"Were you a capo?"
"No. More of a hired gun."
Emily walked off, "I believe you heard enough… Besides, you were curious about my alignment with Kajou. But only because I have plans of my own. Don't worry, Schnee. I have plans for you, once the tests are done. You stay here and be poor… on account you're homeless. I got work to do."
Weiss smirked, "Yes, well… You left out one small detail…"
She summoned a glyph of ice, and she smashed the cell door open. The door broke off and smashed onto Emily. Weiss broke free and said, "Eugh! I hope she's alright. Polite, yet creepy. But still, I'm getting the hell out of Targus City." She ran off, as Emily was coming to.
She sat up and hollered, "TESTA DI CAZZO!" she got up, bleeding from her forehead, "She had dust with her, this whole time! No… It's her Semblance! Dammit! Bloody wench! I'll make you pay!" She armed herself with her sword, and she said, "FOR ARGOS!" She kneeled and prayed, "Lord, forgive me, since she is righteous as I am, but please forgive me for what I shall do with her. Amen."
She dashed forward, as Weiss used her Semblance to dash in superspeed, using her Glyphs. She hopped off, and then ran to the laboratory. She gasped, as she paused, "Oh…"
She looked around the lab, as there was an assembly line of female exoskeletons. Weiss whispered, "It's like Polendina's Lab, manned by Ironwood… and they're hideous… Well, I mean, the shells are, but–."
A voice called, "What's wrong? I say they are quite elegant."
"WHO SAID THAT?"
She turned around, and she gagged, "Oh, god…" She saw another Weiss, only she's wearing her old white outfit, from her time in Beacon Academy. Weiss was shocked, as she whispered, "You're…"
Weiss Robot smiled, "I am Weiss Schnee. I'm the Best Girl." The robot double was like Weiss, from so many details. Her white hair in a ponytail, her white dress, her beautiful blue eyes, even her scar on her left eye. As Weiss stepped back, two more Weisses appeared. She gasped, as she whimpered, "What is this place?"
They surrounded her, armed with fencing swords, and Emily appeared in the entrance way, "You know… Rei Hino said it best. Someone should put a scar in that other eye, and I think she was right." Emily grinned, "Fancy my work? How do you like my Weiss Army?"
Weiss was terrified, as Weiss Robots surrounded her. Weiss stated, "That's breaking the rules of his fanfics!"
"Is it?" Emily said, "No robots in RWBY… except of course someone you know… who knew how to protect Atlas, and failed miserably."
Weiss gasped, "Ironwood…"
Emily called "Seize her!" They grabbed her arms, as Emily stated, "You can thank Jimmy for the schematics… and the tech. God rest his horrid soul, since he was trying so hard to protect Atlas. Sadly, I don't watch or read your world, but my regards to him, Clover, and Penny. I'll do my best to protect you… from yourself. But until Kajou is stopped, you won't win."
"Kajou's my problem!" Weiss barked, "This isn't heroics! You're mad! YOU'RE MAD! UTTERLY MAD!"
Emily sneered, "I'm not mad… You're the one who's mad. You weren't destined to save your friends. You were never the hero…" She went closer, as she shone a silver aura.
POW!
Weiss gagged, as she was slugged in the stomach, and her aura evaporated out of her. Weiss coughed out blood, as Emily pulled her fist back. Everything went silent.
Emily tilted her head up and said, "I was out of ether…" She pulled up her left fist and said, "Arrivederci, Ice Queen…"
POW!
Weiss was knocked out cold. The Weiss Robots stood in attention, as Emily walked off.
"You never were the hero…"
Emily's words echoed into her, as Weiss was lying on the ground, lifeless and unconscious.
Enju was falling to her death, as she was coming to. She thought, "Ka… zu… ki…" She was in tears, as she whispered, "Goodbye…"
She plummeted down below…
WHOOSH!
But someone saved her life. Who was it?
To be continued…
