Chapter 11: Enemies and Friends on Both Sides
A ship flies through the skies over Vale the owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" is seen hanging a sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls to the ground as he goes to get um he looks up to see a young woman with medium-brown skin and dark-red eyes. Her hair was a light, mint-green with a straight fringe and bangs as well as two long locks on each side in the back. She wore of an intricate white top and an olive-colored crop top, on the back of which has a emblem that is in the shape of a cut gem. She also wears white shorts, decorated with what appears to be a gold coin-plated belt with four gold chains draping around her back from two of the coins and what seems to be a green loincloth and two bronze-colored rings on her middle fingers as well as a pair of strappy high-heeled pumps.
"'Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here." The woman giggled as hhe helps him to his feet. "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?
"Hmm? Mm-hmm." The Shopkeeper grunted while he looks over a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep. "Well now it way a couple of blocks down you can't miss it."
The Woman then walks away from the shop owner as both wave goodbye and passes a a pale, young man with gray eyes and gray hair, partially slicked back while unkempt at the front at a corner.
"I knew you were lost." The man said looking smug at the woman as she glares at him.
"Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up." The woman said as she produces a wallet with Lien and waves it in Mercury's face.
"That's not your money." The man said still keeping the smirk on his face.
"But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence." The Woman stated as she continued to hold the Wallet toward him.
"Mmmm... no deal." Mercury said as he looks away form the woman.
"Fine." The Woman said taking the Lien and then tossing the wallet away.
"Would you two Knock it off." A voice called out as the two turn to see Menma standing there with his hood up leaning against the wall.
"Oh great the babysitter is here." Mercury rolled his eyes as he walks away from Menma as woman looked to organization member.
"Why are you here Menma?" The Woman asked placing her hand on her hip. "Don't tell me you are here to check out the sights."
"No I am here to make sure you two stay out of trouble, Emerald." Menma said stepping away from the wall.
"Oh yeah well. We don't need you here I don't know what Cinder see's you in you that you can order us around..." Mercury began before being slammed into the wall by Menma.
"Let me make myself clear then for you Mercury." Menma said pushing Mercury head hard. "Whether you like it or not even though for whatever reason Cinder seems to trust you, Xemnas doesn't trust you at all. So if you ruin the plan in anyway with your shenanigans you will be put down like the dog you are understand."
"Perfectly." Mercury simply said as Menma releases him.
"Now Em.." Menma said looking toward Emerald. "What were you going to do?"
"Well we were going to take care of a problem for Torchwick which he can't apparently handle." Emerald answered.
"You mean Tukson." Menma asked rhetorically. "Fine lets go deal with this."
"Wait you want to come along?" Emerald asked shocked at what Menma said.
"Yes the less leaks the better." Menma said as he walks toward the Book store with Mercury and Emerald following close behind.
As the trio walked through the city Emerald kept stealing glances at Menma as he continued to walk while Mercury sighed in absolute boredom as the three began to approach their destination.
"So, how much farther?" Mercury asked to the other two as they continued to walk.
"A few blocks." Emerald answered simply.
"Ugh... this place is so dull." Mercury sighed out as he looked at all the café's and people.
"Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture..." Emerald stated looking around.
"And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket." Mercury said causing Emerald to stop walking.
"That's every city." Emerald said crossing her arms.
"Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!" Mercury said acting as a victim.
Emerald glares at him, groaning angrily. She then walks away from him past Menma who just ignored Mercury.
"Ugh... you're no fun today." Mercury groaned out as he continued to follow the two.
As the three enter a shop the shop owner can be heard humming a tune. Mercury stops near the door to look at books while Emerald and Menma approached the counter and ringed the service bell.
"Be right there!" The shop keeper called out Emerald looks back at Mercury who just shrugged as Menma took a look of a small picture on the desk of the owner and a woman holding a baby. The shop owner can be seen through a set of double doors carrying stacks of books as he walks backwards and out toward the counter. "Welcome to "Tukson's Book Trade", home to every book under the sun!" He said as he sets the stacks down on desk. "How may I..."
The owner then turns around, then gasps and hesitates upon recognizing the two of them but looks wearily at Menma. "How may I help you?"
"Just browsing." Mercury said with a open book in hand as he shuts the book.
"Actually, I was wondering, do you have any copies of "The Thief and The Butcher"?" Emerald asked the owner.
"Yes we do." The Owner answered.
"That's great." Emerald said excitedly.
"Would you... like a copy?" The Owner asked narrowing his eye's.
"No, just wondering." Emerald said as Mercury closes another book. "Oh, oh! What about "Violet's Garden"? In paperback?"
"He's got it. Hardback too." Mercury answered as he produces the book.
"Ooh, options are nice." Emerald said to herself thoughtfully.
"Eh, no pictures." Mercury said as he closes another book. "Hey! Do you have any comics?"
"Near the front." The Owner answered gesturing the front
"Oh, no, wait!" Emerald said as she narrows her eyes at the owner. "What... about... "Third Crusade"?"
"Um... I..." The Owner began hesitating, visibly unnerved as Mercury and Emerald eyed him carefully. "...don't believe we carry that one."
"Oh." Mercury said slamming another book shut.
"What was this place called again?" Emerald asked as Menma walked over to the door and locked it.
"Tukson's Book Trade." The Owner stated as he kept his gaze on Menma.
"And you're Tukson?" Emerald asked as Mercury put a comic back on the rack.
"That's right." Tukson answered looking toward Emerald.
"So then I take it that you're the one that came up with the catchphrase?" Emerald asked again.
"Yes." Tukson simply answered.
"And, what was it again?" Mercury asked looking toward the man.
""Tukson's Book Trade, home to every book under the sun."" Tuckson stated.
"Except the Third Crusade." Mercury said with a smirk.
"It's just a catchphrase." Tukson said with a shrug.
"It's false advertising!" Mercury said walking toward the entrance of the bookstore.
"You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep, Tukson." Emerald said narrowing her eyes at the man as Mercury activates a switch near the entrance causing a front window to darken. "I hear that you're planning on leaving. Moving all the way to Vacuo."
Mercury then activates another switch and the window in the front door darkens and Menma summons his keyblade. "Your brothers in the White Fang won't be happy to hear that." Emerald continued as Mercury activates the third and final switch, darkening the last window as he smiles creepily at Tukson. "And neither are we... You know who we are, don't you?"
"Yes." Tukson answered once.
"And you know why we're here?" Emerald asked.
"Yes." Tukson answered twice.
"So... are you going to fight back?" Emerald asked readying her self.
"Yes!" Tukson yells producing claws from his fingers. "Yaargh!"
Tukson leaps atop his counter in a threatening manner. Mercury and Emerald back up slightly as he leaps at Emerald and slashes at her, but she dodges. He looks forward and is surprised at Mercury as he raises one leg for a kick with his shotgun-greaves but narrowly dodges the hit before being slashed in the back by Menma causing the man to crash hard unto the ground.
"Go back to Cinder, I'll handle the clean up." Menma said standing over the down body of Tukson.
"Hey we can take care of this..." Mercury began before getting Menma's Keyblade shove into his face.
"NOW!" Menma said finality causing Mercury and Emerald exit "Tukson's Book Trade" real quick. Menma then turned back to Tukson as the man begins to cough up blood.
"Why are you keeping me alive huh. Want to torture the wounded animal before you kill him." Tukson said glaring at Menma.
"No." Menma simply stated, taking off his hood causing Tukson eye's to widen.
"Your Ghira's son." Tukson said in shock. "Why are you helping people like them?"
"Because I have family I need to protect." Menma stated as reaches out his hand. "Just like you have family waiting for you in Vacuo."
"How did you..." Tukson said looking at Menma as he takes his hand and gets up.
"There not much time to explain." Menma said as he reaches his hand out and a portal appears. "Take what you can and be with your family."
"But what about you?"
"I will be fine, I am to important for them to do anything against me."
"Well then, I thank you for sparing me." Tukson said as he step into the portal. "Your father would be proud for the type of man you have become."
Menma offered no response as the portal closed.
"No he wouldn't the path I walk is one of Darkness not the path he would of approved." Menma said to himself as he put his hood back on and with snap lit the entire bookstore on fire as he disappears into another portal
In the Beacon Academy cafeteria, Team RWBY and SNRS are sitting together as Blake looks over some notes as Yang slides up next to her partner.
"Whatcha doing?" Yang asked looking over Blakes shoulder.
"Nothing." Blake answered as she closes her book. "Just going over notes from last semester."
"Lame." Yang said after catching a grape in her mouth.
"It's not lame Yang." Sakura said looking at her rival. "Some people like to go over last semester notes to improve themselves."
"Seriously, Sakura come on you know that School so boring." Naruto retorted eating his food.
"That's not the point Naruto. You have no room to talk cause all you did was goof off." Robin exclaimed with a huff.
"Hey I might off goofed off, but I still scored 5th in the semester exam." Naruto said smug with himself.
"That because you had Blake help you study, don't think you can use your girlfriend as a get out of jail card." Sakura scolded him.
"Blake your on my side right?" Naruto said looking to Blake who gave him a blank stare.
"You should apply yourself more especially since we have Akeno to take care of." Blake said taking a bite of her tuna salad.
"Is no one on my side here." Naruto exclaimed as a thunder cloud formed above his head.
"Don't worry loser I'm sure Blake will make all boo boo's go away." Sasuke said smirking at the Blond.
Everyone giggled as Nora tossed another grape at Yang with her spoon. Yang catches the fruit with ease, then gave Nora a thumbs up. Ruby then walked over to the table, giving an enormous heave, then slams a binder onto the table, catching everyone off guard. On the cover of the binder is written "Vytal Festival Activities, Property of Weiss Schnee". This has been hastily crossed out with a red marker pen, and with the same pen, a new title, "Best Day Ever Activities", has been written underneath.
"Sisters... brothers... friends... Weiss." Ruby began after clearing her throat.
"Hey!" Weiss exclaimed at the young leader.
"Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream." Ruby continued ignoring the comment from Weiss.
"This ought to be good." Yang said to Robin as she catches another berry in her mouth.
"A dream that one day, the four of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had... ever!" Ruby said with excitement.
"Did you steal my binder?" Wiess asked narrowing her eyes at Ruby
"I am not a crook." Ruby said making "peace" signs with both hands as Naruto just facepalmed.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked unsure what Ruby meant.
"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby said as she points her finger at Blake.
"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I right?" Yang joked as a apple is tossed at Yang and hits her in the face. She then turns and glares at Nora.
"Boooooooooooooooo!" Nora yelled at Yang.
"That has to be the worst pun ever, of all time." Naruto said with a straight face to his twin.
"Even worse than when you tried make everything to end with "That's a Yang."" Sakura agreeing with Naruto.
"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today." Ruby said getting back on topic on what she was talking about.
"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss said unsure how she feels about the situation.
"I think we should be supportive Weiss." Robin said looking to her childhood friend. "I mean it can't be any worse than when my brother thought going to Zoo was like entering a combat zone."
"Oh yeah I hear he is coming to the festival are you gonna try to see him?" Weiss asked curious.
"I don't know it would mean probably running to my father and that is always a trying time." Robin said with a down trodden look.
Yang, still glaring, picks up an apple and tosses it across the room hitting someone while Nora continues to giggle.
"I don't know. I think I might sit this one out." Blake said thinking about thing about the White Fang.
"Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!" Weiss said.
"I got it!" Nora shouting positively.
"I for one think that..." Weiss began before being interrupted by a pie landing on her face.
Everyone turns to see that Nora was the one who threw the pie, she then sits down and points at Ren who has his head in his palm. Pyrrha's hand is over her mouth and Jaune simply sits staring wide-eyed while covering his ear with his palm.
"Team SNRS prepare for retailiation." Naruto said with a smirk.
Summer walked through the halls of the Castle that was held by the Organization keeping to her self thinking until she looked up to see Xigbar smirking at her.
"Well, hello Summer odd to see you here, considering your always looking over the kids." Xigbar said walking up to her.
"What I do is none of your business Xigbar." Summer said trying to walk passed him before being stopped. "Let go now."
"Now why would I do that I don't fear your laser eyes." Xigbar said smirking at Summer. "Besides what would Salem say knowing your still "alive and kicking"?"
Summer just glared at the man until Saix came walking up on the pair.
"What is going on here?" Saix asked looking at the two as Summer snatched her arm away from Xigbar.
"It's nothing Saix." Summer simply said as she walks away from the two men.
"Whew for a minute there I thought she was gonna use her power." Xigbar said sighing exaggeratedly.
"Why do you insist on angering her." Saix asked looking Xigbar with a scowl. "Do you wish to be destroyed?"
"As if. I just want to see what is all the fuss about the silver eyes." Xigbar stated.
"It has the power to interfere with our plans." Saix simply said.
"I am not the one that's needs be reminded." Xigbar said as he walked away summoning a portal to who knows where. "Besides don't you worry Saix, everything is happening as it was foretold."
Saix looked at Xigbar in confusion as the man disappears.
"Well that could of gone better." A voice calls out as Saix turns to see Axel walk toward him.
"Do you have something to report?" Saix asked confused at Axel's arrival.
"Yep, everything at Mount Glenn is being take care of and Menma is with Cinder's groupies." Axel said crossing his arms. "Still ya know it rubs me the wrong way how we are misleading the kid ya know."
"Menma desires to protect his family at any cost we were not the one who put his so called "visions" in his head." Saix said looking to his old friend. "We merely provided him the means of stopping it coming to fruition."
"Oh so you do believe he having visions?" Axel asked curious at Saix's answer.
"I don't believe he is having "visions" but more like memory flashes from Indra." Saix answered.
"Hm."
"Axel don't lose focus on our purpose." Saix said gaining Axels attention. "If we want to find out where they are keeping "her" the better it will be."
Outside the cafeteria, Sun Wukong was talking to a teenage boy with tan skin, Blue eyes and messy light-blue hair in the form of an undercut. He wore a white dress shirt and black tie under a red jacket adorned with a wide, upturned, black collar and a silver reticle across the back. He also sported a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides as well as black shoes fastened with straps instead of laces.
"Man, that's harsh." The Boy said.
"I know, we were fighting side by side. She was super fast and I threw a banana at the guy, which sounds gross, but it was awesome." Sun said excitedly.
"Nice!" He simply replied as he and the other boy kept walking.
"Right? And the best part is, she's a Faunus. But that's a secret, okay?" Sun said in a slight whisper
"Got it." The boy said as Sun leans in close.
"And not a, "I'm gonna go tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back secret", I'm talking secret secret." Sun said stressing the importance of what he is saying.
"Whoa, chill out, man, okay? I got it." The boy said almost whispering. "I got it!"
"You better." Sun said as food splatters onto the windows can be seen as students run around. At one point, Jaune is then splattered into a window. "I just don't want to screw this up, you know? The people here are the coolest! No offense to you guys."
"None taken." The boy said.
"They're just in here. I'm really excited for you to meet them. So be cool, okay? You're gonna be cool, right?" Sun ask as the boy gave him credulous look.
"Dude." The Boy said as his teeth gleams in the sunlight as he smiles.
"Good point." Sun said as the enter the cafeteria where students can be heard screaming.
"Food fight!" A student yelled as many students stampede out the door past Sun and the boy, who is looking quite worried.
"Ahahahaha!" Laughed out Nora as she and the rest of Team JNPR are standing atop a tower of tables stacked in a ramshackle manner.
"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora sang out.
"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" Ruby said stomping her foot on a table and pointing at Team JNPR. Ruby then crushes a carton of milk with her hand. "It will be delicious!"
"Yeah!" The rest of team Ruby cried out while team SNRS just stands there not knowing what to do.
"Naruto, what is the plan?" Robin asked looking to the blond leader.
"You do have a plan right Naruto?" Sakura asked as well.
"Yeah, I do." Naruto said narrowing his eyes at the two teams.
"Really, you do?" Sasuke asked unsure on what Naruto will say.
"Yeah, I have one trump card up my sleeve." Naruto said continue to look serious.
"A trump card? What is it?" Robin asked.
"I saved this one for just this occasion." Naruto said not exactly answering the questions. "Look how they are positioned. They haven't blocked off all the exits and will be focused on Ruby's team to notice. That's our ticket."
"A-and your trump card?" Robin asked feeling unsure of the plan.
"We'll use our legs." Naruto said as he pats his leg.
"Use our legs? How?" Robin asked.
"To get the hell out of here, Robin." Naruto said as sprinted away from the ensuing battle.
"You got to be kidding me." Robin sighed as she noticed Sakura and Sasuke following suit. "Huh you guys too?"
"Robin it's better that we don't get involved or else we could accidently destroy the school." Sakura said as she grabs Robin's hand and drags her along.
"Off with their heads!" Nora said jumping down from the top of her tower, and the food fight begins.
"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby said to her sister as Yang rolls over to the turkeys and sticks her fists inside them, proceeding to block and punch the melons as they speed toward her, but was then sent flying by Nora out of the ceiling. After some fighting, Nora knocks Weiss into a pillar. The impact knocks her out and Ruby holds her in her arms as the pillar collapses around them.
"Weiss, Weiss! Don't leave me! Nooo!" Ruby cried cradling Weiss.
The fighting resumes, Until Robin standing off to the side watching Ruby using her semblance to create a tornado picking up team JNPR.
"ENOUGH FIGHTING!" Robin yelled as her eyes briefly burned with a light blue flame and a torrent of ice disrupting the tornado sending team JNPR slamming against a cracked wall painted with soda and food. Team JNPR then slides off the wall, leaving only their outlines. Robin opens her eye shocked what she had done and looking to Naruto who saw what happened then ran out of the room.
"I love these guys." Sun laughed out as the boy is drenched with soda and is not pleased. The doors behind them open and Glynda enters the room growling. She proceeds to use telekinesis to re-organize the room.
"Children, please." Glynda said as she adjusts her glasses. "Do not play with your food!"
Nora burps loudly as both Team JNPR and Team RWBY try and fail to compose themselves. then screaming Yang then crashes from the ceiling into one of the tables. Glynda grumbles. Ozpin approaches and places a hand on her shoulder.
"Let it go." Ozpin said noticing the look given by Naruto as he walked past to check on Robin.
"They're supposed to be the defenders of the world." Glynda said sighing.
"And they will be, but right now they're still children. So why not let them play the part?" Ozpin said as he begins to walk away from Glynda. "After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever."
"Where are you going?" Glynda asked the Headmaster as he continues his walk.
"I will need to talk to Ms. Maron about the use of her abilities and I believe I owe an explanation to Mr. Xiao-Long again." Ozpin stated as he walked off to where the two teammates went.
Robin kept running as rows of Student look at her with a hint of concern and confusion as to why the girl was running suddenly came to a stop as she saw a Atlassian Warship docking.
"Why again, why now stupid powers stay quiet." Robin said to herself clutching her hand softly.
"What powers?" A voice called out startling Robin as she spins around to see Naruto standing there.
"Powers? What powers I have no idea what you are talking about." Robin said nervously until she saw the look he was giving her.
"Robin what is going on? Ever since the docks you have been off to be nice." Naruto said walking up to her. "I mean, I know I am partly to blame but what you did in the cafeteria was something else."
"Oh." Robin said sadly as she continued to look at the Airship. "Anytime I feel angry or sad Ice just appears but it has nothing to do with my semblance. I guess you call it a gift or rather a curse."
"How long have you been able to do this?" Naruto asked.
"Since my grandmother died so since I was 5, when my dad found out he went full protective mode for some reason." Robin said placing a hand on her arm. ""Robin you can't do this," "Robin don't do that." He practically kept me prisoner because of this and never given a reason why."
"I guess I know how you feel..." Naruto said summoning his Keyblade. "Ever since I got this blade it feels like more and more like the teachers are keeping something from me."
"Then I guess we should correct that issue on both accounts." A voice called out as the two turned to see Ozpin standing there.
"Professor Ozpin?" Robin said looking to the headmaster.
"What you hold in your hand Naruto is a keyblade." Ozpin stated walking up to the two students. "A weapon of unspeakable power, able harness magic and unlock any door or lock any door as well. It is also said that it chooses it's wielder and it does not make that chose lightly."
"A keyblade? One of the member of Organization XIII have one." Naruto said narrowing his eye's. "Is there some special requirement for the wielders."
"Yes to have a strong heart or so the legend says." Ozpin said.
"A strong heart..." Naruto said to himself. "Ok what about Robin's powers? What do you know about them?"
"Have you heard of the story of the four maidens?" Ozpin asked looking at the two.
"Of course the story of four girls represented by each season try to help an old wizard what about it?" Robin asked.
"Well what if I told you the powers of those four girls given by the wizard are no fairy tail, but truth." Ozpin said shocking the the students.
"Then you mean I have one of those maidens powers, how did I get them?" Robin asked looking to Ozpin closely.
"Well, the powers are only given to 4 people and can only be transferred by to another by the last thoughts of the previous maiden." Ozpin answered causing Robin's eye's to widen.
"My Grandmother..." Robin said.
"Was the previous holder of the Maidens powers now that power was passed to you." Ozpin simply said as began to walk away. "Keep those powers secret you two."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked unsure on what he is saying.
"There are those in this world that would love nothing better than to take those powers away, so be on guard." Ozpin simply said turning back to the two.
"Like Organization XIII?" Naruto asked narrowing his eye's.
"Maybe, but the is a far greater threat that may seek out you abilities." Ozpin finished walking away before Naruto could get more answers.
"What does he mean by a greater threat?" Robin asked looking to the blond.
"I don't know, but whatever it is we will deal with it together." Naruto simply said as he walked away. Robin took one last look to the warship, then proceeded to follow her leader.
In an old warehouse somewhere in Vale, the White Fang are moving crates to help the plan move forward as Emerald and Mercury enter.
"Oh, look! She sent the kids again! This is turning out just like the divorce!" Roman called out as he approaches the two from behind and wraps his arms around them in a group hug.
"Spare us the thought of you procreating." Emerald said shivering in disgust as she and Mercury pull away from Roman.
"That was a joke. And this... just might tell me where you two have been all day." Roman said producing the piece of paper containing the address of Tukson's Book Store
"What!? Agh..." Emerald growled out as she glares at Roman.
"I'm a professional, sweetheart. Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something." Roman said holding up the piece of paper to read it. "Why do you have this address?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Emerald said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah, I would. Now where have you been all day?" Roman said darkly.
"Cleaning up your problems. One of them, at least." Mercury said looking bored.
"I had that under control." Roman growled out as he glares at the two.
"Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise." Mercury said sharply.
"Listen, you little punk. If it were up to me, then I would take you and your little street rat friend here and..." Roman began before being cut off.
"Do what, Roman?" Cinder called appearing on a platform above them with Axel and another a woman with bright, blonde hair that is slicked back and about jaw-length, with two long strands styled into distinctive antennae-like strands and cyan colored eyes. The 3 then steps onto an automated lift, riding it down to others level.
"I'd, uh... not kill them?" Roman said nervously as the woman gave a evil cackle.
"Oh really, from what sounded like quite the opposite." The Woman said looking at the thief. "Awe are you upset that someone actually did your job for once"
"Larxene, Cool it will ya Torchy here looks like he might blow a fuse." Axel said taunting Torchwick.
"Why you..." Torchwick began before being cut off by Cinder.
"I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be runaway." Cinder said narrowing her eyes.
"I was going to..." Torchwick said trying to make an excuse.
"He was going to escape to Vacuo! Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat." Emerald said gaining Cinder's attention.
"I think he was some sort of cat, actually." Mercury added on smirking.
"What? Like a puma?" Emerald asked looking to her cohort.
"Yeah, there ya go." Mercury said as Cinder glared at them.
"Quiet. Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?" Cinder said as Roman points a finger at the pair while laughing in agreement.
"I just thought..." Emerald trailed off noticing Roman uses his fingers to mime having a slit throat.
"Don't think... obey." Cinder simply said.
"Yes ma'am. It won't happen again." Emerald said apologetically. "Though Menma did help us out."
"Menma did?" Cinder said intrigued.
"Yeah the bastard practically stole all the credit." Mercury said with a huff.
"So that where the twerp went." Larxene said rolling her eye's. "I swear he can't just leave well enough alone."
"Even still it is better that was taken care of." Axel said with Cinder nodding her head in agreement.
"But that does leave one question?" Cinder said turning to Roman. "Why wasn't this job done sooner?"
"Uh..? Eh..? Eh..? EHHHHH! Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the Kingdom!" Roman pointed out as he gestures to crates of dust around him.
"You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask." Mercury said as Emerald laughs at the remark.
"Look around, kid. I've got this town running scared! Police camping out at every corner, Dust prices through the roof, and we're sitting pretty on an old warehouse with more Dust crystals, vials, and rounds than we know what to do with! Speaking of which, if you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan, it might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother!" Roman said emphasizing by clenching his fist.
"Oh, Roman. Have a little faith. You'll know what you need when you need to know it." Cinder said approaching Roman. She places her hand on his face as Roman seems entranced, but then looks away with a grunt as she begins to walk away. "Besides, we're done with Dust."
"O-okay, then what now?" Roman asked.
"We're moving. Have the White Fang clear out this building. I'll send you details and coordinates tonight." Cinder said as she continues to walk away with Axel and Larxene moving ahead of her.
"Coordinates?" Roman asked again looking confused.
"We're proceeding to phase two." Cinder simply said looking back to Roman.
Cinder, Mercury and Emerald then began to walk away. Roman attempts to light a cigar, but realized Emerald stole his lighter. She turns back to face him and sticks her tongue out defiantly. As the three exit the Building she approaches the two Organization Members.
"I trust everything is ok Axel?" Cinder asked looking to the Red Head.
"Yeah everything fine." Axel said as Larxene rolled her eyes as she disappears into a portal. "We were just discussing who was gonna make the report to Xemnas is all."
"Why was Menma there?" Cinder asked slightly concerned for Menma.
"How should I know ever since Ashura's Reincarnation awakened his keyblade..." Axel began before being cut off by Cinder.
"There is now another Keyblade wielder?" Cinder ask darkly. "Has my lady been informed of this development."
"As far as I am aware, yeah." Axel said, but then picked up on something. "Why were you so concerned about Menma?"
"I have no idea what your talking about." Cinder said sharply.
"Oh really, well I mean he was still recovering from his beating. One could only guess why he tagged along." Axel stated with a smirk. "Don't you worry Cinder. I won't your secret."
"Why you..." Cinder said creating a fire ball in her hand only for Axel to snuff it out just as it appeared.
"Now Cinder we both know your power especially fire don't work on me remember." Axel said coldly as he knocks Cinder to the ground. "Do something like that, and Salem is gonna have to search for a new maiden. Got.. it.. memorized!"
"Perfectly..." Cinder said as she gets up.
"Good well, I better head off need some shut eye ya know." Axel said as he begins to vanish. "See you later Cindy."
"Is everyone in that organization crazy." Emerald said weakly.
"Yeah and if they are remind me not to piss them off." Mercury said as Cinder seethe silently before sighing.
"Come, I believe we have to get going." Cinder said beginning to walk off toward Beacon. "We have school to attend."
And Scene pretty simple chapter to kick off Volume 2 of the Story sorry if it seemed I shortened the food fight and not included Naruto and co I did not know hot to have them to contribute to the madness except Robin at the end. Hope you also catch the running is away is from I actually had to rewatch the scene to get the feeling. Also surprise Robin is the Winter Maiden at the time when i introduced Robin 2 years ago I had already planned for her to be the winter maiden because the maiden had not made an appearance as of yet until volume 7 came out but I decided instead of reworking it to fit the original Narrative I continued on Course I hope everyone like the Exchange. One last thing before we end the chapter I want to give a short chapter to expand the lore of this series to give it more oomph so here we go.
Short Chapter:
Case of the Sage of Six Paths
Ashura and Indra walked down the path to their fathers shrine after a hard day of training.
"Man I can't wait for Dinner!" Ashura exclaimed as his stomach growls loudly.
"Is all you ever think of is food Ashura?" Indra said with a hard sigh.
"I don't know what you mean Elder Brother, we both trained hard and haven't ate since lunch." Ashura said looking to his brother as they continued walking.
"Yes I know that, but a normal meal for you is enough to feed an entire village." Indra said with a smirk. "It's a wonder that your not chubby at all. Oh wait is that some fat I see!"
"What?!" Ashura looks at himself to see nothing as Indra burst out with Laughter. "That is not funny."
"It is so. Your so gullible, Ashura." Indra said as he did not notice Ashura stopped walking. "Uh, Ashura you coming?"
"Indra look." Ashura said pointing at something causing Indra to look to a Man in a Black Coat staring at one of the Torii Gates leading to the shrine. "Who is that?"
"I don't know a traveler to see father maybe?" Indra said trying to get a look at the man face but it was obscured by the hood.
"Maybe we should ask him he is lost?" Ashura said beginning to walk up to the man but was pulled back by Indra.
"We don't know him he is an Outsider he could be trouble." Indra said narrowing his eye's at the man.
"Even so we still should ask why he is here." Ashura said confidently looking to his brother.
"Fine, but let's be careful." Indra said causing Ashura to nod as he Walked up to the man.
"Excuse me sir." Ashura called out.
"No is this the right way, I am sure of it." The man said to himself as he seemly ignored Ashura.
"Hey you, Who are you?" Indra called out stomping over to man who turned and gave a slight scream.
"WOAH... Jeez kid you know it's not polite, sneaking up on someone like that ya know!" The Man said clutching his heart like he was having a heart attack.
"Um, I am sorry?." Indra apologized as he looked to Ashura.
"No biggie, anyways question for you kids. Do you know the Old man that lives here? I was on my way to speak to him, but it seems I got lost." The Man asked being very eccentric as he asks.
"You mean our Father sure we can bring you to him." Ashura said.
"But before we bring you to our Father, who are you?" Indra asked looking at the man.
"Ooh me? Nobody important just a traveler looking for some guidance is all." The man said causing the two brothers to look at each other.
"But what is you name?" Ashura then asked.
"Can't Tell ya but if your so hung up about the whole thing, you can call me the Master of Masters." The Man stated raising his arms and turning to the boys.
"The Master of Masters what kind of dumb name is that?" Indra stated causing the Master curl up on the ground drawing circles on the ground as rain cloud hangs over him.
"I thought it was cool." The master said dejectedly.
"Indra say your sorry." Ashura said not wanting to deal with whatever was going on.
"Alright, I'm sorry." Indra said with a roll of his eyes.
"Apology Accepted!" The Master said shooting up.
"Seriously that fast!" Indra shouted out then sighed. "Come on, lets take you to our father."
"Alright lead on." The Master said as three walked down the path together.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki sat in his meditation chamber facing the Master of Masters as he tells him about something he had discovered.
"The final passage reads, "On that fated land, a great war shall transpire. Darkness will prevail and the light expire."" The Master said looking to the Sage as he strokes his beard.
"Then there is no way to change this then." Hagoromo asked.
"Nah, not possible." The Master said as he closed the book. "We have to focus on what comes after. There's no use thinking of ways to change events that we know are gonna happen."
"Yes but what do is what I am fearing my friend." Hagoromo stated narrowing his eye's.
"Well, if you wanna give it a shot..." The Master said gaining his Attention. "Why don't I train your boys."
"Don't you already have six apprentices to worry about." Hagoromo asked.
"Oh what 2 more beside. C'mon, are you telling me that you think the world can be saved by just seven people?" The Master said looking to Hagoromo.
"Very well. I leave Ashura and Indra in your care it may do them some good for them as well."
"Oh I know."
