In the last chapter we saw how they disoveryed another grimm knights idenity along with that the dectives seem to be tracking lazuli and falk. Though lets shift focus to the heir to the ice queen belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 13 teal: To The Ball

It's been a long day for weiss right now, because all that training was starting to wear her down. She happy her mother decided to help her out with her summoing. But didn't know how brutal she could get at times. Though right now a nice soft bed sounded nice right now. With her though was carmen as she escorted weiss to her room.

"Why did you have to go all out today?"weiss groaned rubbing her sore side

"Hey your mom asked me too…though that falk guy was acting really weird when him and his family left"carmen replied

Weiss did agree falk was acting weird after he talked with her mother apperently. Maybe she said stay away from her or if you hurt her he'll regret it. The heiress does have feeling for him but it was akward to talk about this.

"Your right…maybe she integrated him or something. Though its upsetting that his mom is suffering from a disease"weiss sadly replied

Carmen scoffed a little"it is but…guy better not be using you for your money. I understand his mom sick but that just cold"she reminded to watch out for that.

Weiss sighed hoping that wasn't true incase. Though as they walked soon enough klein stepped around the corner. And looked to see them their as he gave a sigh of relief.

"Their you are snowflake, uh i'm sorry to tell you this but your father needs you"klein said as weiss was worried if she was in trouble. Carmen knew about the abuse he's done to her but couldn't do much of anything about it.

"Umm..am i…in trouble?"weiss nerovusly asked as klein walked over shaking his head.

"No your father wants to discuss something of a certain event coming up"klein reassured as weiss felt a little relax but was still scared and worried what this meant.

"You sure it aint something else?"Carmen asked making sure the man wasn't around.

"I assure it nothing like that, he's in his study right now. He just wants a quick discussion real quick before you head to bed"klein said as weiss didn't argue and went straight for his office. Carmen decided to return to her quarters which was the guard barracks close to the mansion.

Weiss walked through the house for a bit until coming upon her father study. She reached for the door handle to open it but stopped hesitating. Because she could hear voice on the other side.

"Jacque my men found out some of your workers have gone missing. It seems you have someone stealing from you"ironwood voice could be heard.

"Are you an idiot?! Not only are people stealing from me but citizens of atlas."jacque replied as his voice was muffle.

But weiss rolled her eyes as she listened, it transittiation to jacque study right now. The business man was behind his desk with collapsed hands. While ironwood was standing their with his hands behind his back.

"When did you start caring about the citizen of atlas?"ironwood questioned because he been mad about that dust embargo on his company.

"Well everysince the event in vale actually. I understand now that the dust embargo was to protect the other kingdoms from going to war. If that happens grimm could run rampent"jacque simply said with a fake smile.

Ironwood narrowed his gaze"that is a load of bullcrap and you know it"irownood said firmly as weiss listened in on their conversation. But she leaned against the door slightly to peak inside.

"I beg your pardon?!"jacuqe asked shcoked

"You heard me? When the dust embargo happened you were mad that you'd lose business. But now you changed your tune why?"ironwood replied

Jacque placed a glass down gently but it was actually rough as it clanked onto the table."i am qutie mad that your embargo has costed me millions! I even started to try and expand the hopstial my wife operae. Along with providng homes for my mining staff."jacuqe begun pointing a finger toward ironwood.

"I can promise you, this is something i won't forget! You've been a trusted family friend for a while but you've caused me to lose large amount of lien!"jacque shouted as ironwood narrowed his gaze.

"Oh so this is about you then?"irownood caught as the business man glared at him. But before jacque could hear anything a knock could be heard at the door. They looked to see weiss slowly opening the door as they looked at her.

"Umm klein said you wanted to see me father"weiss greeted as jacuqe looked at her nodding. Ironwood then decided it would be time to make his leave.

"Well then miss schnee. My apologies its rather late and i should be going now. I'm sure you want to retire to your room"ironwood said bowing to weiss

"Its fines"weiss replied as the gneral nodded.

"You know your way out?"jacque smugly asked as ironwood walked toward the door to leave.

"I do, have a great night. And miss schnee, your always welcomed to pursue your career as a huntress at our academy."ironwood offeredd as weiss looked down nodding. Soon enough he left the two as weiss walked toward his desk standing their.

Jacque noticed this smiling but had his back turned to her"its seem you didn't forgot your manners."he begun as she stood their patiently but was very annoyed to be here right now.

"Though can you believe people are blaming atlas still for what happened to beacon? To vale? Its those awful knights fault in my opinion, not my fault out military can't deal with them quickly."jacque said

Weiss gripped her skirt of her dress"well they weren't there"she replied as jacque glanced at her.

"Its a wonder ironwood wasn't stripped of his rank. Along with that i can't believe that school was so stupid to let one of those freaks into the school. "Jacque said as weiss was annoyed by that. She knew the truth of why that so called freak started the fall. But she also didn't want to start a fight tonight with him.

Soon enough jacque sat down as he stared at his daughter"though if the council trust his opinion, though i believe their all idiots for overeacting to such a thing"he stated as he took a sip from a nearby glass.

"I trust him"wiess simply replied as he glared a little at her sighing in disappointment.

"Thanks to him, atlas has forbidden dust trade to other kingdoms. Which is horrible in my opinion since we recently have been trying to provide more to our kingdom with our company"jacque said as weiss knew why he changed his business pratices.

To make his image look better, he never gave one bit of charity to the faunus in those minds. He makes them live in cramped living quarters. Along with the guards excuting any of them on sight if they even try to escape of rebel. Carmen told her how bad it was their, and she says how she hated it ever day.

"Though which is why the schnee dust company will be holding a charity concert in a few days"jacque said to her surprise.

"We need to show the people of remannt that we are on their side. Just like we are for atlas and our labor force. To help the victims of the fall of beacon and stopping those remaining eleven knights. Were lucky two of them are dead"jacque said as weiss kept a straight face.

"Thats wonderful news"weiss replied with a forced smile.

"I know, and which is why you and another girl will be performing during the event"jacque replied

"Excuse me? And who?"weiss qeustioned wondering what other girl he meant.

The man simply chuckled"oh beatrice niece will be performing with you on the piano. It would be great if my daughter, a shnee, on the ground, defending another kingdom! We need to show that the schnee family is just as strong as ever after these events! That we are willing to put a stop to these grumm hybrids!"jacque declared with pride it seems as weiss groaned internally.

"Are you asking me to sing or telling me?"she asked the obvious question as jacque looked at her with narrowed brows and placed his hands together.

"It would make alot of people happy. I'll even allow you to invite one of your friends from beacon"jacque replied which peak weiss interested immediately and he knew it. Thoguh she guess who she wanted her to ignite.

"Let me guess you want me to invite the hayley family"weiss knwoginyl asked as her father nodded.

"Why not? It a shame they still haven;t found their other daughter yet. I might as well console the man, and your singing would make alot of people happy"jacque said but actually demanded.

Weiss sighed"i'll start pratcing"as jacque smiled at this and motioned for her to leave. Weiss did leave her father to his business pratices. But the heiress first thought was to invite her team here. Though she didn't know where blake was still and if ruby or yang were at the patch. So maybe seeing her fellow ice queen would be nice.

In the city of argus right now it was busy as every. Everyone was following their daily routines as the sun shined bright upon the city. Though in a certain academt of the city right now was a certain someone praticing. In the sanctum training academy right now was eria on the training field. But standing on both legs as she was pratcing against a training dummy right now.

The frozen girl was using her smeblance to freeze the ground below her for a bit. As she did she skated on the ground with her new ice skates provided by her father. She slide across the ice with ease like it was nothing. Once she got close to the dummy she readyed her bat to swing into it.

Eria landed a blow to it sending it flying into the air, then immediately she changed her bat into her shotgun. She pulled the trigger dumping shotgun dust pellts into it, freezing it slightly. Then she fired a few more times juggling it, after that it slowly came down as she transformed her weapon back into a bat. Then she swung into the dummy as it was slightly frozen then it shattered on impact into little piece of ice.

The girl then took a breath wiping the sweat off her brow as she her clapping close by. She looked to see thetis their along with her mother congratulating her.

"That was a wonderful perofmance my little girl"Calida complimented as eria walked over wiping the sweat off.

"Yes, it seems you've adjusted rather quickly to that new leg of yours. It only been a week"theits added

Eria sighed smiling slightly"well like i said before, i needed to get stronger if i'm going to be our team leader"she replied in confidence

Calida nodded but was slightly uspet"you did but…still no word on were your sister is"she sadly said

The first half of the hayley twin sisters was upset by that. Even after the police watched for her at the argus limit train stop for haven. She wasn't seen their at all, along with that they had dectives try to find her. But their in atlas for some reason which made no sense. Though she hoped her twin sister didn't end up captured by slaver or worse.

"Look i'm sure everything will be fine, though were lucky my daughter reputation allows you to pratice here"theits said as they began to walk as eria picked up a bag that she brought.

The sanctum huntsman students in training were in session it seems. Though eria knew that wasn't why they allowed her to come train here. Her and rogue have been known to come here with pyrrha alot lately. So they assumed that she wanted to get stronger since she lost her leg.

"That not perscile why , i'm sure their being considerate to our family. We've known pyrrha for a long time, i guess they appreciate someone she considered close continue our sparring tradition"eria coldy said with a smile.

Thetis smiled at that"maybe your right though, calida don't you have dance lesson to teach today?"she aksed knowingly.

"Oh its fine, i told my staff i'm helping my little girl with her therapy. They understood and they hope she recovers quickly. Which she did"calida said joyfully because she was happy her daughter was walking again.

"Yes though…isn't dad expecting here soon?"eira asked as calida looked at her duaghter smiling.

"Your hoping that bunny faunus you know is with him aren't you?"she knowingly asked as eria chuckled a little.

"I am, maybe even some of my other friends from beacon are their. Maybe she can ask cardin if he know where rogue is"eria suggested as the hayley women nodded.

"Then lets go see shall we"thetis suggested as the two hayley women nodded in agreement. They began making their way through the streets of argus with ease. On the way some people greeted thetis with a wave. They did the same with calida and eria, but a few seemed to glare at them.

Latly gasper and a few people his family were close with seemed to hate her and her parents. Along with that spreading rumors around town that rogue left to avenge a monster or join those knights. Which she hated that he'd even do something like that. Her and tanner were best friends, he'd be ashamed to hear his father doing that. Though the crosby seem to still like them along with most of the town. But it still hurt that the mckays would do that.

Eria wasn't focused right now as soon enough someone tapped her on the head. She looked up seeing her mother standing their as they got to their house.

"Snow dancer are your their or are you in a icy thousand yard stare"calida joked with a smile.

Eria sighed"must you make such childish jokes mother?"eria coldy questioned as calida smiled.

The fiery dance instructor was grabbing the mail"oh shush you love my jokes, though it seems we got mail. "She replied holding some envelopes.

Though thetis was opening the door as she could hear voices inside"along with some guest it seems, your husband friend must be here"she said as she opened the door. The three stepped insdie to be met by a very familair face that being will scarltian. Though two others with him a man and women.

The man seemed to be in his early forties he had a slight musuclar build. He had bright short blonde hair with light brown skin was lgihtish tan it seems. He currently wore a dress shirt that was grey underneath a purple dress jacket. He wore brown dress pants with black simple dress shoes. But on his head was a pair of goat horns.

While the women next to him seemed to be in her late had an hourglass figure to her, along with her skin being pale it seems. She had bright red hair that made her stand out along with her bright yellow eyes. She wore a light green dress that reached to her ankles that layed ont he floor. Though underneath she appears to wear green colored stocking with some heels that are black in color. Though she was confinded to a wheelchair.

Jaki looked up surrpsied to see them here"ah their you are how was your sparring session?"he asked as calida walked over giving him a kiss on the head.

"Well our daughter seemed to be adapting well to that leg you made her"she said as will looked shocked at this and looked to see eria missing a leg.

"Oh no dear what happened?"will asked stunned by this to their shock as well.

"You didn't hear about it?"thetis replied

Will shook his head"no i haven't, i've been busy with projects lately one of which is why i'm here today"he replied

Though eria was curious who these other two people where"umm excuse me but are you two friends of ?"she asked

The goat faunus stepped bowing as he introduced hismelf"i'm ruffus ober"he replied

The women turned her wheelchair slightly to face her"i'm chloe ober his wife"she replied introducing herself but rubbed her hand slightly wincing.

"You okay dear?"calida questioned as the women waved her hand away.

"I'm fine…it just sore after our journey. A very cranky bengel faunus gave birth on our ship and i volunteered to be her stress ball"she replied to their shock.

"You delivered a baby on a ship, that's interesting my friend"jaki replied as will shook his head.

"I didn't me and this one here were busy trying to survive a grimm attack on the ship"will corrected to their shock.

"Your ship became under attack by grimm on the way here?"thetis questioned

"It was dreadful, I thought we'd die before we got here"Rufus stated.

"But we were lucky some huntresses and huntsman were onboard to protect us"chloe replied

Though eria noticed the bunny fuanus father smiling a little as he seemed to have met someone on the ship.

"Why are you smiling?"she coldy asked as jaki then cleared his throat getting their attention.

"You see actually the reason these two are here are for porsehtics. has lost the funciton in her legs along with will talking about a project we need to work on"jaki answered as his wife was going through the mail. Most of them seemed to be bills they can afford. Along with business opportunitys or mergers they want with her husband. Though on the table stood a envelope with the schnee schneel and symbol but she listened to the conversation at hand.

"Oh thats interesting, umm usaully you can make a request at on of our business"calida replied

Thetis though knew now why will was smiling"did a friend of their family recommned you to him personally?"she asked as ruffus was slihglty surprised by this but nodded. Along with chloe and will nodding in agreement.

Will looked over to eria with some good news"you see on our way here our ship made a stop to menagerie. But i met a few familiar faces on that ship from the school my daughter attended, well someone shes dating too"will begun as jaki smiled at his daughter

Eria went wide eyed guessing who he was talking about, her partner onxyia blair. Did he actually run into that wolf faunus teammates of hers. Maybe blake was also with them as well.

"Are you saying you know what happened to my daughter partner?"calida questioned with a smile as he nodded

"On the ship i ran into that wolf faunus on your team. She was traveling with a girl with dual colored hair. Along with a cat faunus who had a prpthsetic arm"will answered as eria wnet wide eyed smiling and rushed over hugging him to their surprise.

"Shes actually alive! I thought her and blake died since winter said they were badly wounded"she cried in joy as jaki smiled at this.

Will smiled as he patted the girl on her head as she undid her embrace. Though calida was happy her daughter knows where her partner is. Thetis was happy to because she been worried sick and keep bringing it up nonstop.

"Yes she is along side blake and a girl named neo"will added

"Along with a family known as the khans if i recall"ruffus added on to some of their surprise.

"Huh guess they ran into sienna, i haven't talk to her in…i can't even remember the last time"calida replied

"Whos sienna?"eria questioned

"Oh a very old friend of our along with ghira, she used to be the old white fang leader when they were peaceful protestors still"jaki replied.

Though eria wondered extactly why they were heading to menagerie. Probably their to check on their family from her assumption. But a small though crosed her mind who else lived their but couldn't recalled.

"Where they heading home i'm guessing?"thetis asked as chloe nodded

"Yes from what they told us their group were heading their to bring those three to their family. Though the room i stayed in during the attack with them. I noticed something that was a little sad"chloe sadly stated to their confusion.

"What are you talking about?"calida questioned as she was about to look at the next envelope with the schnee logo on it but paused holding it.

Eria wondered what the women was implying because she was happy to hear that wolf faunus was alive. She knew where one of her two remaining teammates were right now.

Ruffus sighed rubbing his wife shoulder"apperenlty your friend was carrying a large weapon case with her"he answered as jaki went wide eyed what he was implying.

"Why would she have a weapon case? What did it have?"eria qeustioned concerned a little as will sighed

"It carried three weapons a pair of revolvers, two dual swords and a katana if i recall"he answered as eria figured out quickly what he was implying. That onxyia had zane weapons with her, which meant he didn't bring them. Which praticually told her he was trying to kill himself.

Eria started to shake on the spot as she sat down hugging herself covering her eyes.

"No…no..their…oh no their telling his mom"eria sadly said as jaki walked over placing an arm on her shoulder comforting her. Thoguh calida and thetis knew who she was talking about. Along with jaki because he knows the women since she was a temporary teacher at the school.

"Oh that terrible at least she'll get closure"chloe reassured

"Yes, though….your friend wouldn't happen to be the one that started the fall"ruffus nervously added as eria glared at him with tears streaming down her face. She was upset because she recalled how happy he was to see his mom again. They fought alot but she was glad the idiot found her after so long.

"What are you here to make fun of me?"eria started walking into ruffus face as he backed up.

"No dear i–"he tried to start but eria stopped him.

"Because everyone for the past week gets mad at me for not liking them call my leader a murderer. He had no goddam control because of those mental suggestion that bastard put in his head! I'm getting sick of people sating he was a monster, he killed himself looking for me! Along with that he tried to off himself right after he regained control!"eria cried in anger as her parents were worried how she's reacting.

Eria choked a little but composer herself" that clown makes me team leader after leaving a sucide note practical! My sister ran away to chase after the team that killed my older sister figure, a loudmotuh i called a friend, and my sister partner! Now my partner is breaking news to his mom that hes gone again! And…and she probably heartbroken he dead…they..they loved each other"eria fiished as her voice was close to breaking as she hung her head down.

They sat in silnece for as eria just shook in rage as tears streamed down her face. Though she felt a hand placed on her head curiosity of ruffus with a somber look.

"I meant no ill will toward you miss, i was going to say sorry for your loss"he corrected her as eria looked down still shaking.

Calida walked over guding her to a couch"relax sweetie, i know your hurt about those rumors gasper spreaded. Don't let them get to you, i'm sure everything will be fine"she reassured as she wiped a tear off hr face with a thumb.

Will sighed"yes, though what i heard from my daughter. I owe him for making sure my little girl got out alive. Apparently she and some others went to bring him back. But…a snake faunus attacked them and he held him off since one of them was injured"he stated as eria was surprised by this.

That velvet and some other went back to help him before he died. Which meant adder was trying to kill them and he saved her and those with her.

"Did…did he say anything to them?"she asked with hope

Will cupped his chin"not really, though a lynx kept screaming at her and another boy named winchester. Blaming mainly the boy for not letting him save his cousin it seems"will saldy said as eria sighed.

"That would be his cousin vance and neo was his other cousin. Umm i'm sorry for my outburst–"eria replied but ruffus stopped her.

"Its quite alright dear, i wuld be devastated if someone badmouth my wife. Though they told us to drop their names to your father. We may look rich but…um…well"ruffus tried to find the words as chloe finished

"Half of my family doens't like that i'm married to a faunus. They shunned us we were visit ruffus family back in vale. Until a grimm attack happened taking both my legs. They recommneded you for a pair of prosthetics legs"chloe said to jaki who cupped his chin.

The frozen weapon smith stood their for a moment. Then he walked into his workshop grabbing something then he came back. Though in his hands was a tape measure as they were surprised by this. He looked at her to take her measurements which she allowed.

"Umm frosty why?"calida questioned

Jaki measure the women right leg then moved on the left"they gave my daughter some good news it seems. Some of it terrible news…but I would like to repay it."jaki simply answered as the faunus and human couple were surprised.

"Sir you don't need to–"ruffus begun but eria stopped him.

"No, let him my little outburst was very childish. But you told me were two of my friends were i thouhg were dead. I just hope she doing okay right now"eria added

Though thetis glanced at the table noticng something a envelope in the schnee colors. She reached over as she picked it up, the nikos women looked at it going wide eyed. Then she decided to open it as she tore the eveneloped. Will noticed this rolling his eyes smiling.

"Thetis you shouldn't go through someone else mail"will said kwnoignly because it was rude.

Calida looked at her rolling her eyes'thetis that better be a winning check for some lien…but it could be bills"she sadly finsihed

Thetis had other news"umm well apperently tomorrow their is a charity event being run by the schnee dust comapny. Their daughter persoanlly invited your family it seems"she said as they knew she meant weiss.

"Wait are you talking about their eldest or youngest?"chloe asked as jaki finished taking her mesurements.

"Yes, though isn't jacque schnne in a rivaly with your company?"ruffus asked as jaki was writting chloe measurements down. But groaned at that declaration, because it was jacque being annoying as usually.

"No we don't i make weapons he makes dust, though their talking about the youngest. "He replied deep in his new project as thanks for the good news they gave to his daughter. He might even charge less for the two even.

"Though if were invited, maybe that means your friend would like for you to visit"calida suggested as eria agreed immedialty that was the case.

"I wanna go"eria said to her parents to their surprise.

But jaki knew why because of the news they just got"you want to tell your friend the good news her teammate is alive don't you?"he knwoingly asked

"Hmm well maybe we could go though what about this project you two are working on?"calida asked will who cupped his chin.

"Ironwood would like us to head vacou to provide more prosthetics to the student that lost their limb. I already sent some of their measurements to you while i stayed their to check on my family. He wants us their for at least a couple weeks to help them. Your friend pietro already has delivered some prosthetics to them. But james personally request you since your other daughter went missing. They might know where she is or she could be their right now"will suggested as jaki stopped writing in his notebook going wide eyed.

He cupped his chin as he nodded several times"okay….okay i'll finish your prosthetic leg and metal cap by tommorrow"the man begun as he was walking around the house as they watched him quickly pick a few things up.

"Oh no he's in that mood again"eria said because her father was worried but also had a large amount of hope. Rogue could possible be in vacou with cardin maybe now that she thinks about. Maybe even vale which makes sense.

Calida chuckled"but frosty who would go to the chariety event"she asked as jaki immediately answered

"You two of course"he replied as he began calling someone on his scroll. Calida went wide eyed from this as she shook her head that she wasn't going. If she saw that bastard jacque schnee she'd melt him into a molten puddle. Along with teaching him a lesson for how he treats his kids.

"No..no..no i can't go i'm not fancy and uh…well"calida tried to find an excuse but thetis chuckled as she placed a hand on her shoulders. The nikos women then sat calida down in a chair as she rubbed her shoulder.

"You can do it dear, who know maybe you and willow can talk. Along with seeing how their kids are doing"thetis said as calida immedialty understood what she meant. To see if weiss and her brother weren't being abused right now.

Soon jaki got off the phone with someone as he walked to a closet as he pulled out two suitcase"i've contacted a friend i know to get you their by tommorrow in the afternoon. Once their give your friend wiess my kindness regards. Who know your sister could be their even"he said with hope in his voice.

Eria didn't even argue as she walked upstairs to pack her things for her trip to atlas. Soon enough after a half hour of packing her and calida managed to pack all the things they needed. Jaki was immediately working on chloe prosthetics leg right now. The married couple left with will to find a nearby hotel to stay at until then. While thetis was their as jaki decided to give a brief explantain.

"Head to the airdocks quickly and meet my firend their. Then he will get you to atlas before you know it. Once their just play nice with jacque ughh and let me know if you find any hint of your sister their. Also have fun my fireflower!"jaki said but excited it seems.

Calida had her suitcase in hand sighing"okay dear i'll play nice with him, thetis could tou watch the house while were away?"she asked her friend who nodded yes to her.

"Don't worry i'll make sure you don't get robbed or have another attempted kidnapping. Oh tell weiss mother i said hello"theits said as the two hayley women sped off to the airdocks. Once their they met the pliot who was just landing right now. But she was surprised that the two got here already and she was about to turn off her ship. It was a simple mante ship which had enough room for the two.

Though first she quickly refueled her ship which took an hour. But then once they were packed up in the ship she took off toward was excited actually to go see weiss again after not seeing her for so long. But as they conintued their joruney eria just sat their listening to music from tanner and perun band.

Time felt like it went by fast because beofre she knew it they were in atlas. The girl was surprised to be at the flaoitng city laready in minutes even. Though she did take a small nap on the flight here and woke up to her mother shaking her awake that they were here.

The ship then landed near a small landing pad near a very large skyscrapper like hotel. Once the ship landed the pilot opened the ship doors. Then eria stepped out in amazement still she was in the floating city of atlas. She's never been here but was in awe of the grand city.

"Here you two are welcome to atlas, when will you need me to pick you up?"the pliot asked

Calida stepped out woth her lugauge in hand"i'll let you know miss, thank you for getting us here on time"calida thanked because it felt like time vent by quickly. Though jaki did say he had a friend to get them their quickly.

Then she looked at her daughter who was still in awe of the city"alright now we need to head to a hotel, the enveloep says we'll be staying at the solomon lodge"she said to eria who nodded

"Lets go then, i wonder what weiss has been up to"eria replied as they walked toward said hotel. The landing pad they took was close to the hotel as calida looked at her scroll finding it close by. It was probably a ten minute walk as they got to the hotel.

It towered over all the other building in the city it seems. It had a mixture of red and gold colors on the building. Along with a large deck of playing cards on the front entrance of the building. It had the hotel name above it emblazzed in neon colors as the sky was an orange haze right now.

Once inside eira immedialty noticed how busy it was right now. Staff of valets were escorting several guest to their rooms it seems. But she also noticed several people in what appears to be formal wear from the looks of it. Thankfully she packed the same dress she wore during the vytal dance from that time ago.

The two walked toward the front desk as a women sat behind it. She was just getting done checking someone else in as she looked up

"Hello how can i help you two today?"she greeted with gleeful smile it seems

"Were here to check in for a room"calida replied as the women typed away on her holo screen then she looked up.

"I'm sorry all our rooms are mainly reserved for speical guest tonight. Most of which are here for the schnee chairety event for vale"she replied though calida smiled as she pulled out an envelope then introduced herself.

"My name is calida hayley and this is my daughter eria hayley. Were guest of jacque daughter"calida stated presenting the envelope as the employee check it. While she did soon enough someone stepped through the back annoyed it seems

"Ughh seriously don't say anything sexual toward the guest here. Sorry mom number two its how i roll"a girl said to herself as she walked foward. As she did the girl walked over to the front desk to see what was going on.

"Hello their our esteemed guest how might we…wait a minute do i know you?"she asked as the rceptionist was pulling up the two room number and keys it seems. Eria was confused by this as seh stared at the girl for a second. She seemed rather familair but couldn't quite place her finger on it.

"Your not ringing any bell dear sorry"calida replied though the girl shook her head.

"Not you her"she replied pointing to eria which made her confused right now. Eria blinked a few times as she stared at the girl until it hit her. The hotel they were staying at was under one person that that being solomon and the girl infront of her was razma solomon.

"Wait a minute your from team VRML if i recall…razma right. You faced off team BBNT during the first round"eria replied as the girl known as razma snapped her figners.
