Later that evening at Neo-City, we go to large cafe called the AniManga Cafe. The cafe is six storage high with a state of an art design, the cafe serves not coffee and other beverages but it also serves cakes and other sweets. Aside from the occasional drinks and sweets, the cafe also have a billiards, arcade booths, darthing section and other more fun stuffs for customers to enjoy.
The cafe also has a stage for different performances such a singing, dancing or comedy acts.
Outside the cafe, we see Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long and Oscar Pine making their way towards the said establishment where they met up with Blake Belladonna, Sun Wukong, Ilia Amitola and Mata.
"Any idea why are we here?'' Weiss asked.
Sun let's out a hum, "It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it?" he pointed out, "Why are we here?" he repeated the question, "I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night." he stated.
The girls, Mata and Oscar then stares at Sun in awkward silence.
"...What?!" Weiss squawked, "I mean why are we here?! In front of this ginormous cafe!" she pointed out.
Sun rubs the back of his head, "Oh. Uh... yeah." he said nervously.
"What was all that stuff about God?" Blake asked.
"Uh...hm? Nothing." Sun replied.
"You wanna talk about it?" Blake asked.
Sun looks away, "No." he replied.
"You sure?" Blake asked again.
Sun nodded, "Yeah." he assured.
"Seriously! Why are we here?!" Weiss exclaimed, "Did Ruby told you guys to come here too?'' she asked.
Blake shook her head, "No... it's actually Nora who told us to come here.'' she replied.
Before anything else, they saw Marcus "The Kane" McGee walking towards them while checking on his phone at the same time. The miserable bloke then noticed them, "Oh... evening." he greeted.
"Hey..." Yang greeted back, "Marcus, right?'' she asked earning a nod from the troublemaker, "Were you told to come here as well?'' she asked.
"I usually visit this cafe every night for a drink, fun and of course, flirting with the pretty owner of this place." Marcus replied with a grin earning a look of disgust from Weiss, "But yeah... I was told to come here which is odd." he admitted.
Before anyone could reply, Eddy Skipper McGee arrives, "Hey, Marcus!" he greeted.
"Yo, Eddy!" Marcus greeted back with a smile. The two were about to share a fist bump when suddenly, Marcus slams his fist right across Eddy's face, "YOU BASTARD!" he screamed in a demonic voice while sporting an Akuma-like face, much to everyone's shock. He then grabs Eddy's collar and pulls him close to his face, "YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU SWINDLE SOME CASH FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT!" he growled with angry demonic face.
Eddy glares back at him with an equally demonic face, "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TARDING AND FEATHERING ME DURING TRAINING!" he replied with a demonic voice.
Meanwhile... the people from Remnant can only watch with bemused looks.
A minute later, Weiss receives a text message from Ruby and told them to enter the cafe. The group of eight people then proceeds to walk towards the door and when Sun opens the door...
"SURPRISE!" a loud cheered greeted them.
... inside the cafe, they were greeted by students, trainees and staff members. The place is filled with balloons and streamers, colorful blinking light, a loud wild music and a huge banner that says "Welcome".
"W-What is going on?!" Weiss asked in confusion.
Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc approaches them, "Sorry about this, Weiss, Faye wanted to throw you guys a welcome party now that you're part of the Vanguard Academy." she explained.
Yang smiled, "A party? Now this I like.'' she mused as Blake rolls her eyes.
Faye Bertha Conway and Lazaris approaches them, "Hello there." she greeted, "I am Faye Bertha Conway and this is Lazaris." she introduced herself and her friend, "Sorry for the surprise but as one of this school's crown holders, it is our duty to make you feel welcome and thanking all of you for joining." she stated.
"Though... some of you should have attended this academy long time ago." Lazaris pointed out as she glances at Marcus and Eddy trying to choke each other to death.
Weiss shook her head, "Well... indeed we're taken back by the surprise but we really appreciate this party.'' she replied in gratitude.
"Then what are we waiting for? Time to party!" Yang cheered.
And with that, the party went on full blast! People drinking, dancing, playing games and just having a conversation with their friends. On the DJ Stand is a young man, "Party, Party! It's yo boy, New Day Jose! Bringing out his musical skills that killz!" he cheered as he began to scratch some tracks.

"Go, Jose! Go Jose, go!" Regan Bladeworks cheered from the crowd.
At one table, we see Dan Mandel, Chris Pine, Darren Cross and Chad Mordetzky having a chat when a girl approaches them with a tray of beers in hand. The girl had long pink hair with her bangs hanging just above her pink eyes. She wore a pink raincoat with a matching hat and boots. This is Air.

The girl has a shoulder length golden blonde hair and amber eyes. She wore an orange raincoat and a pair of matching boots. This is Fal.

Meanwhile we see Akiharu Hino and Kiyotaka Ishimaru having a conversation when a girl approaches them with a tray of drinks. The girl had neck length dark blue hair and light blue eyes. She wore a blue raincoat with bunny ears-like attachments on the hood and a pair of matching boots. This is Luna.

Luna
Luna offered them a drink which they happily accepted. Luna then made her way towards another table as she passes-by the bar table where Marcus is currently at alongside The Sniper and The Scout with a young woman standing behind the counter.
The young woman has a long golden hair tied in pigtails and had brown eyes. She wears a blue business jacket over a white dress shirt and black tie, dark-blue business skirt, gray pantyhose and black heels. This is Malin Fong, the owner of the AniManga Cafe.
AniManga Cafe Owner
Malin Fong
Malin has a blissful look on her face, "Huwehehehehe... I just love it when parties are held in my cafe.'' she said with a goofy smile.
"You sure do." Marcus pointed out with a blank look, "For Pete's sake, you should have told me that there's a party being held here.'' he said.
"That would ruin the surprise." Malin pointed out, "So... what are you drinking for tonight?'' she asked.
"I want an oolong tea for now." Marcus replied, "I still had a headache from the strong alcohol that I drank last night." he said.
"Sure!" Malin chirped with a bright smile. Malin the place a glass on top of the counter, poured it with vodka before pouring it with whiskey, turning it's color brown, "Here you go, oolong tea.'' she presented with a smile.
Marcus slams his fists on the table, "THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OOLONG TEA THAT I KNEW OFF!" he exclaimed in annoyance.
"What are you talking about?'' Malin asked, "It's the exact same color as oolong tea, isn't?'' she pointed out.
The Scout then spoke, "That's right, loser." he said, "Not only is the color the same, you can even light it with fire you know.'' he said as he lights up the drink with fire using a lighter.
Marcus slams his hands on the counter, "THE FACT YOU CAN LIGHT IT ON FIRE MEANS THAT IT'S ALCOHOL!" he pointed out in annoyance.
"Come on guys, stop making fun of the kid." the Sniper spoke as he handed Marcus a glass of drink, "Here, son, have some water.'' he offered.
Marcus then accepted it, "Ah, thanks." he said. Marcus then took a sip of the drink, he then facefaulted as he pulls the glass away from his mouth. He then lights the drink on fire using a lighter, he then turns to the Sniper, "Why can you light this "water" on fire?'' he demanded with a small irritated voice.
"It's probably flammable." the Sniper replied.
"The color is the same as water, so why worry?'' Malin pointed out.
"DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO WAY DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN DRINKS OTHER THAN BY COLOR?!" Marcus exclaimed in frustration. And since he can't reasoned with them, Marcus decided to drink the "oolong tea" in one go, "BWAAAAGHH!" he let's out a hard breathe, "THAT WAS STRONG AS FUCK!" he grumbled with a demonic look.
Eddy then handed him a glass, "You're going to fall over if you don't drink some water.'' he advised.
Marcus then accepted it, "Ah, thanks." he said. Marcus then took a sip of the drink, he then facefaulted as he pulls the glass away from his mouth. He then lights the drink on fire using a lighter, "VOOOODKAAAAAAAAAA!" he shouted as he slams the glass down the floor, shattering it into pieces. He then glares at his adopted brother with a Green Goblin-like angry face, "E-EDDY! IS THIS ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR PETTY REVENGE ON ME?!" he demanded with a demonic voice.
"No, it wasn't my intention at all." Eddy replied, "However..." he said glancing at Dan's group, whom currently drinking rather wildly, "It seems that unless you got someone smashed and force them to join something, you can't escape." he stated.
Marcus sighed, "I see... you're right.'' he said, "All that's needed is someone to be a sacrifice." he pointed out as he handed Eddy a drink, "I'll take responsibility, I'll drink the alcohol and you can just drink some of this oolong tea.'' he stated.
Eddy chuckled as he accepted it, "Ahh~ What a beautiful sacrifice." he mused. Eddy then took a sip of the drink, he then facefaulted as he pulls the glass away from his mouth. He then lights the drink on fire using a lighter, he then turns to Marcus with his Akuma-like glare, "YOU ASSHOLE!" he yelled back.
"HAVING SOMEONE BE A SACRIFICE IS A PRETTY GOOD IDEA THOUGH BUT GO TO HELL, EDDY!" Marcus yelled back with his angry Titan-like glare.
As the adopted siblings proceeds to strangle each other to death, Eddward Marion "Edd, Double D" Smith ran towards them.
"Gentleman, gentleman! Stop this barbaric nonsense, right now!" Double D demanded with authority.
Marcus and Eddy then glares at Double D with a creepy Joker-like grin, "That's right! We haven't got back on this weasel for shoving us into attending school!" Eddy pointed out.
Marcus brought up a glass and a bottle of whiskey, "Let's make him drink the oolong tea!" he roared.
"Get those beverages away from me!" Double D exclaimed.
As this going on, we go to one table where Weiss, Yang, Blake and Ruby are currently sitting at. The four them actually witnessed what just happened at the bar counter.
Weiss facefaulted, "Those guys are idiots.'' she said.
Yang let's out a chuckle, "I don't know about you girls but those two are a riot!" she exclaimed with a grin.
Blake chuckled, "They are... pretty funny." she admitted.
Ruby took a bite of her cookie when they lights died down, "Hey...what's the big idea turning off the lights?!" she demanded.
Suddenly the light were then focused on a stage as New Day Jose spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen... the Ultimate Pop Sensation, Sayaka Maizono!" he introduced as everyone cheered.
On cue, a young girl then got on stage. She has a long, dark blue hair, which she holds in place with several clips and she has dark blue eyes. She wears a sleeveless pink and white dress with a pink ribbon and ruffles at the bottom, which ends just above her knees. She also wears an intricate matching ribbon on the right side of her hair and white knee-high boots. Her hair is tied into two pig tails with pink clips on her bangs. She wears her stage outfit, which consists of a ruffled, collared pink and white dress, a pink bow on the front and knee-high white boots. She wears a black see-through armband on her right arm and a thin white arm band and a fluffy white bracelet on her left arm. She also wears a large pink bow over a white headband and she has multiple star hair clips. This is Sayaka Maizono.
Ultimate Pop Sensation, Idol and Vanguard Academy Student
Sayaka Maizono
"What's up everyone?!" Sayaka greeted as everyone responded with cheers, "Wanna hear a song that will further spiced up the party?" she offered and everyone responded with another cheer, "Then let's get to it!" she exclaimed.
And with that, the music plays and Sayaka began to sing:
Now it's time to say goodbye, I'm starting out a brand new life
And I ask myself, Where do I go from here? (Where do I go from here)
I'm scared about a million things, I don't know what the future brings
And I ask myself, Where do I go from here? (Where do I go from here)
I'm standing at the crossroads, Looking for the way
My life (my life), Will never be the same
Where do I go from here?, Can anybody ease my sorrow?
I'm afraid because I've got so much to lose (I've got so much to lose, yeah)
Where do I go from here?
I'm having visions of tomorrow, But I don't know which path I gotta choose
I'm holding on to here and now, This life is turning upside down
And I ask myself, Where do I go from here? (Where do I go from here)
And all the friends I had before, Will they last forevermore?
And I ask myself, Where do I go from here? (Where do I go from here)
I'm standing at the crossroads, Looking for the way
My life (my life), Will never be the same
Where do I go from here?, Can anybody ease my sorrow
I'm afraid because I've got so much to lose (I've got so much to lose, yeah)
Where do I go from here?
I'm having visions of tomorrow, But I don't know which path I gotta choose
Who are you? Who am I?
I'm not the girl I used to be
What is wrong? What is right?
Guessing what the future holds for me, yeah, yeah
Everything has changed, And it feels so strange
(Where do I go from here?)
(I really don't know...)
Yeah
Where do I go from here?, Can anybody ease my sorrow
I'm afraid because I've got so much to lose (I've got so much to lose, yeah)
Where do I go from here?
I'm having visions of tomorrow, But I don't know which path I gotta choose
Oh
Where do I go?
After finishing the song, Sayaka took a bow while everyone cheered loudly as they enjoyed her performance.
Unfortunately... not everyone have watched her performance.
Back at the bar counter, we see a passed out Double D lying down on the floor while Marcus and Eddy are also on the floor in all fours with the latter vomiting. The brothers decided to settle things by having a drinking contest of which of them passes out first is the loser.
"W-Water..." Marcus muttered.
Malin then handed them two glasses, "Jeez... you two, here." she offered.
Marcus accepted the glass and so does Eddy, "T-Thank you..." the former said in gratitude.
As Marcus and Eddy took a sip of the drink, Malin spoke, "In any case, I am really impressed." she admitted as Marcus and Eddy facefaulted as they pull the glasses away from their mouths, "I never expected you two to be such "shy boys"." she pointed out as the two stares at the bottle of alcohol in her arms that says 99% Alcohol. Malin gave them a smile, "If you wanted a strong alcohol, then you should have told me from the very start.'' she said with a thumbs-up.
There was silence between for a few minutes until...
"THIS AIN'T WATER!" Marcus and Eddy shouted in anger, they face turns demonic and they crushes the glass with their bare hands.
