AN: A second chapter on the same day... Yup, I'm feeling generous, although this is merely a Halloween Special.
The Halloween Party for The Ages
Beacon Academy had a Halloween party going on. All the students were attending, dressed as whatever they chose. Even the Blades had gotten in on it.
"Great party isn't it," said Yang, dressed up in a red armor that made her look like a dragon knight.
"...I guess," Weiss said, still feeling uncomfortable wearing the fake rabbit ears. Not to mention when Yang decided to smack the fake bunny tail on the heiress' rear, literally.
"I think it's nice that things are lively," Dahlia said, wearing an icy blue leotard, similar to the one Yang tried to force on Weiss. Except this one was of course bigger on... a lot of areas actually. And the back even had a tiny hole for the ice Bunny's own bunny tail. Of course, the said outfit turned heads on a lot of guys and some of the girls too.
"I guess," Blake said uncertainly. The feline faunus was wearing a witch outfit, complete with a pointy hat large enough to cover her ears. Her only gripe was that Nox didn't come. Because out of all the Blades, the dark Ninja was the only one who didn't want to come.
"I'm sure Nox had his reasons," Roze said. He was wearing a black robe and a skull mask. He was also carrying a fake scythe. The rose reaper had dressed himself as the Grimm Reaper.
"It still would've been nice if he had come too," Ruby said being dressed as a cutified Beowolf. Even having a fake puffy tail.
"Not like he could come up with a good costume," Dragunov said with a grin. Not that the draconic Blade's costume was anything impressive... Other than it probably being the most expensive looking out of all. Dragunov was wearing all kinds of jewelry, glittering chains that crisscrossed along his arms, torso, body and even legs, with a lot of them having several gemstones attached to varying points. On the fire Blade's head, he had arranged the gem-chains in a way that made his horns look like they were part of a crown. "King Under a Mountain", he calls himself. Most people think that the gems are simply well-made replicas, but the truth is, they were real gems that Dragunov had made himself.
"I still wonder where you got those gems from," Weiss said aloud, having realized that the gems are very real. Although of lower quality.
"I have my ways," Dragunov said mysteriously as he glanced at the stage that was being prepped for a magic show. Hosted by Wu, of all people. "Has anyone seen the idiots?" the draconic Blade then asked as he searched for Wu's Driver and the said Driver's idiot friends.
"Hey!" Came from right next to them, which earned some startled looks from most of the Drivers and their Blades. Turning to the source, they saw Sun wearing an old poncho that Vacuan nomads wore once upon a time. "We're not idiots," Sun said as he glared at the amused looking dragon Blade who asked, "Then why'd you answer?".
"Where's Neptune?" Weiss then asked, noting that the blue haired boy wasn't with Sun.
"Over there," Sun responded, pointing to the punch bowl where the aquaphobic boy was dressed up as, ironically, Poseidon, an ancient hero who loved the sea. At this information, Weiss practically dashed to the boy, with Dahlia rolling her eyes as she followed slowly.
At that moment though, there was a huge puff of smoke on the stage, out from which came Wu wearing a cape and a top hat. But other than that, he looked completely the same. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Wu, emperor of the Kong Dynasty and grandmaster of the mystic arts," Wu introduced himself to the audience while twirling his staff like it was an oversized wand. "You all have the privilege of bearing witness to my wonderful performance." The monkey emperor spoke as colors sparked out of the tip of his staff. "And for my first performance, I shall be doing...imitations," the monkey said confidently. Only to hear several groans at something that sounded so lame. "Now, now. If you would give me an example, I could show you how this is something to awe at," Wu said confidently as he lifted a palm to his ear to hear his audience.
"Well, do a beowolf then!" One random student shouted jokingly.
"As you wish," Wu spoke up as a puff of smoke covered him suddenly, before the monkey Blade was replaced by a fairly large beowolf that roared at the audience. The crowd of costumed huntsmen and huntresses instantly went for their Scrolls to call in their lockers, until another puff of smoke revealed a smug looking Wu. "Anything else you would like me to imitate?"
This made several people laugh as they realized the full meaning of Wu's "imitations". And then, ideas started raining on him.
As this was happening, a certain black-haired woman dressed as a masquerade queen put a finger on a hidden earpiece. "How is your search?" the woman asked discreetly.
In Ozpin's office, Emerald put her hand on her own earpiece. "Nothing interesting yet, Cinder," Emerald responded as she went over another drawer with no results. She and Mercury were looking for any clues that might help them to find the Fall Maiden, and maybe the other ones too.
"Keep searching," Cinder ordered, before leaving the mint haired girl to her search.
"What did Cinder want?" Mercury asked, wearing a black hooded assassin outfit. You see, the plan was to find whatever info they could find and get into the party. Even some of the teachers have joined it, including Ozpin. Speaking of which, Emerald was wearing a black colored harem girl outfit. Apparently, Cinder found it nice when they were shopping for costumes, which was why the girl was wearing it. Much to Mercury's open delight.
"Just asking if we found anything yet," Emerald responded, before getting startled by the sound of something shattering. A lamp on a nearby table had fallen over and broken. "Okay, what did that?" Emerald asked, getting a little scared. Ever since they left their dorm, the two had a feeling of something following them, but every time they turn they don't see anyone or anything.
"This place is starting to give me the creeps," Mercury added as he could swear that something was breathing down his neck earlier.
Then they heard a sound that sounded like gurgling moaning. The two had heard that briefly in the elevator too, but were unable to pinpoint the source.
"Y-you think there's anything above those clockworks?" Mercury wondered with a stutter, trying to not focus on these creepy events.
"I guess I could go in and check," Emerald said with trepidation, chanting in her head that there was nothing scary in here. With that, the dark-skinned thief stood on the desk before jumping, barely getting hold of one of the gears before climbing on top of it. After not seeing any obvious hiding spots for secret documents around, she decided to climb a little higher. Jumping high enough to grab another gear, Emerald pulled herself up.
"You see anything up there?" Mercury called out, only seeing parts of Emerald's lower body. Not that he complained, because the show the thief was giving without realizing it was pretty good. But Mercury's admiration of Emerald's backside was interrupted by the said girl screaming before she was dragged up by…something. "Emerald!" Mercury shouted out as he jumped on one of the gears as a thousand thoughts a minute were going through his mind. There wasn't supposed to be anyone here. So who, or what, grabbed Emerald? Better yet, there shouldn't be places to hide, so where was this thing hiding in. As Mercury got up, he almost gagged at the sight of blood on the gear that Emerald was last climbing to. Because of his father's profession, he was already…mostly used to a sight like this, but the fact that it could be Emerald's was something that made him slightly queasy. But right now, that wasn't the worst part. For as Mercury had finished taking in the sight of the blood covered gear, he realized that the screaming had stopped. When did that happen? Forcing himself to keep calm, the assassin noticed a particular blood trail. Something was dragged across the wall and into the darkness of the higher parts of the clockworks.
Before Mercury could even think about following the trail, something grabbed him by the ankle and dragged him off the gear before making him drop on the floor. Fortunately for the gray-haired teen, his training kicked in and he was able to land on his feet before looking for the culprit up above in combat stance. But he didn't see anything that could have grabbed him. "Whoever you are, you better come out!" Mercury shouted out, seriously getting creeped out. The only response was that gurgling sound again, except now the assassin was able to tell that it came from behind. With that, Mercury turned around to face the desk. At first there was nothing there, but then a deathly pale hand rose on top of the desk before a head with long, black and dirty hair rose. The person(?) let out the gurgling sound Mercury had been hearing before lifting itself further atop the desk, revealing them to be wearing a dirty white dress which, if memory served, was put on bodies as part of Mistralian funeral. But ignoring that, Mercury lifted his leg before firing the gun hidden in his robotic legs. but it didn't seem to do anything. Not letting up, the grey-haired teen kept firing, even switching legs, but the creature was unfazed by the gunfire as it crawled over the desk with its head moving as if looking at Mercury, before it moved its head quickly to the side with a sickening crack accompanying it.
Mercury would never admit it, but he was starting to get freaked out, as he chose to try and kick the thing in the face. This tactic seemed effective as the creature fell back behind the desk. "Take that, freak!" Mercury shouted in relief as he jumped over the desk to deliver an axe kick on…nothing? "What the-? Where did it go?" Now he was getting freaked out, it couldn't have moved that fast seeing as it should have been disoriented from the impact on its face.
Once again, Mercury heard a gurgling sound, except it seemed to come from every direction. "What the f*** is going on!?" Despite his shouting, Mercury didn't want to stay and find out, so instead he ran to the elevator, which thankfully hadn't gone down yet. Quickly pressing the button on the ground floor rapidly the teen glanced at the dark office, which allowed him to witness the thing that was starting to freak him out crawling from behind the desk towards him. "Come on, come on! CLOSE ALREADY!" Mercury practically screamed as the doors were closing ever so slowly, or that's how it felt. The creature was now inches away from the door before it shut, but not before Mercury saw a glimpse of what looked like a dead woman's face peeking among the long dirty hair. As the elevator started moving, Mercury reached for his earpiece to tell Cinder.
Back in the party, Cinder had to admit, the monkey Blade was very good with "imitations" as he called it. The thing had imitated Doctor Oobleck, some of the students, and even a very convincing act of Glynda Goodwitch. But now, the monkey was imitating that blonde girl who made horrible puns.
The said monkey, now wearing the form of one Yang Xiao Long gave a bow to the audience who was clapping at the performance. "Thank you! Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen," the transformed monkey said with a perfect imitation of Yang's voice. "As much as I would love to give you more of a show," the fake Yang said with a wink while pointing at her... himself suggestively, earning a round of cat calls and wolf whistles. "I need a short break before moving onto the next part of my show, so don't go anywhere just yet. And with that said, out with a Yang," the fake Yang said with a wink before vanishing in a puff of smoke. Earning a round of applause from everyone that wasn't the real Yang Xiao Long.
Speaking of which... "How dare that monkey steal my act," Yang grumbled, wanting to go out and find that impersonator and punch him in the face.
"Oh, please, don't act like he wasn't exactly like you," Weiss couldn't help teasing, she was still holding a grudge for the outfit Yang tried to force her into.
"Like you were," Yang said with a smirk, before trying to imitate Weiss, "Oh, look! I'm Weiss Schnee. I'm a rich know-it-all."
Which wasn't very well received," That's not even close to what he did!"
As an argument between the fire and ice was sparked, Blake shook her head as she silently admitted that this was better than she thought it would be. Especially when Wu was giving a rather... accurate depiction of Glynda's lecture about maintaining weapons or some of her past scoldings. The monkey Blade seems to have the acting down to science. So much that part of the witch attired feline wondered the damage Wu could cause with that kind of power.
Dragunov was actually impressed by the accurate portrayal of his Driver, or any of the other people Wu had impersonated, especially the overly apologetic Pyrrha. But Yang wasn't the only one who was unhappy about Wu's performance.
Which led the draconic Blade to witness Joana, who was wearing a tabard that carried the Arc family crest, muttering something about monkey stew. Why? Because the sliver furred trickster had imitated Jaune screaming like a girl. The sad thing is, according to team RWBY that actually happened.
Elsewhere, Cinder had walked to a slightly more covered spot to have a conversation with Mercury, which made the false maiden seeth with rage. "Mercury…urgh, I can't believe I have to say this. There is no such thing as ghosts," Cinder hissed into the earpiece. This was a conversation the woman never thought she would have, least of all with Mercury.
"Yes there is! It got Emerald! I saw the pool of blood!" Mercury cried frantically.
Cinder resisted face-palming. She just couldn't take Mercury seriously right now. But if Emerald was indeed dead, then that would be a huge problem. "Did you at least find anything?" the woman asked while massaging the bridge of her nose.
"Like hell we did! I'm going to the dorms and I'm not taking no for an answer!" Mercury shouted.
"Mercury, no.. Mercury? Mercury, answer me!" The only reason Cinder didn't go above whisper-yelling was because she was very much aware of where she was. "That little…he shut down the comm," the woman seethed, in anger. She would have a long discussion with him later.
At Cinder's and her cronies' dorm, Mercury barged in before locking the door. Only then did he allow himself to slump down in relief. He had discarded his earpiece earlier and was now trembling in terror of that ghost, because what else could it be, that killed Emerald and tried to get its hands on him. Mercury didn't care about the fact that it had a woman's face, because that thing scared him.
*Knock, Knock*
"AAACK!" Mercury screamed as he heard knocking on the door. the costumed assassin backed away quickly staring at the door in fear.
"Cinder? Mercury? Is anyone in there?" Emerald's distraught voice came from the other side of the door.
"Em? You're okay!?" Mercury shouted in a mixture of shock and relief.
"Mercury? Please let me in... I... I lost my Scroll as I got away from that... that... thing!" The mint haired thief said, voice cracking with sobs as she spoke.
Mercury got up from the floor and moved to open the door, "It's okay Emerald. At least you got-" Mercury cut himself off as there was no one behind the door. "Emerald?" Mercury called out as he moved out into the hallway.
*SLAM* and the door was slammed shut behind him on its own. Right before the lights in the hallway went out. "Nonononononononononono!" Mercury thought frantically as he quickly fished out his scroll to unlock the door, get inside and lock it behind him before doing the most childish thing ever. He hid under one of the beds, whimpering in fear. And then he stiffened as the gurgling sound came out again... from right next to him. Craning his head slowly, Mercury came face to face with the deathly pale face of the ghost with some of its hair clinging to its face. From the outside of the door, one could hear Mercury screaming for an instant, before it stopped.
Several minutes have passed since Cinder lost contact with Mercury. Tonight might have been a disaster in terms of finding information, but at least the party was somewhat enjoyable. Some of the boys came out to ask her on the dance floor that was now filled with some of the people as Wu prepared for…whatever he was planning. She let them down gently for once, seeing as she wanted to just sit back for now. Although she was still mad that Mercury wouldn't come to the party, because that was the plan. It would be suspicious if they didn't show up right now. Then to her surprise, Cinder's Scroll rang. Checking for the ID, the woman frowned at Mercury's name and picture appearing on it. But she answered regardless, "Mercury, I told you not to call me on my Scroll."
"I know, but Emerald and I thought we should meet up immediately, it's important," Mercury said from his end of the line, still shaken, but clearly in a more rational mood.
Cinder quirked an eyebrow at this information, "Emerald is with you?"
"Yeah, she lost her comm and Scroll, so she couldn't call you," Mercury then explained, "Wanna talk to her?"
"No need, meet me at the western balcony," Cinder then spoke to the Scroll, while making sure that no one was looking, "That way, it would look like you were always here, and just went for fresh air."
"Understood," Mercury said with an unusually meek tone before Cinder cut the call.
"I have half a mind to thank this so-called ghost for giving Mercury an attitude adjustment," Cinder thought in amusement, which was soured by the reminder of this mission being a failure.
As Cinder moved to the stairs, Wu had returned to the stage in another puff of smoke. "I'm baaaack!" Wu spoke up as his magician cape fluttered dramatically. "For my next performance, I will need a volunteer. Anyone up for it?" As soon as the trickster Blade said that, several hands rose into the air while Wu scrutinized them for a potential assistant. "How about Specialist Adel of the Fashion division?" Wu spoke up pointing at Coco Adel, who was indeed wearing a white uniform of an Atlesian Specialist. Although she still wore her shades, despite the lower lighting, and a white berret on her head. Oddly though, the fashionista hadn't even raised her arm. Still, it looked like the rest of her team was encouraging her to go, so Coco moved up to the stage.
"So, what's the trick I need to assist in," Coco asked while lowering her shades," Sawing me in two? Putting me into a box and stabbing me with swords?" The questions earned some laughter from the audience.
Although Wu was smirking at the question, "Oh no. You will be holding this." And then he handed over a top hat. Coco accepted it and was about to question the whole thing, but Wu had turned to the audience. "For my next trick, I will pull a rabbit out of a hat," Wu said with excitement, earning groans of disappointment from the audience at the age-old trick. As this was happening, Coco was inspecting the hat to see where the small animal was hidden. Soon enough, the fashionista found the rabbit that Wu must have hidden in earlier, which made the uniform clad fashionista grin as she put the cute little bunny on the floor before ushering it to move away as Wu's back was turned and the audience was snickering at the oblivious monkey about his performance being ruined. The little bunny disappeared behind the stage just as Wu had turned back towards Coco who had just gotten back to the position she was at earlier with an innocent look on her face. "Now then," Wu spoke up as he brought out his staff to twirl it around the top hat. "Hocus... Pocus... Philiocus!" Wu spoke up before snatching Coco's beret and flipping it, revealing a confused looking rabbit nestled in it as the adorable white twitchy-nose looked around. This made several members of the audience gasp, while others just dropped their jaws. Including Coco who's shades slid down her nose, revealing her widened eyes.
As if sensing the question everyone had, Wu gave them an amused look, "What? I never said which hat I was going to pull it out of."
That had the intended effect as the audience burst into laughter at Wu seemingly turning the joke on Coco. The fashionista herself not sure if she should be angry or impressed at the monkey's trick.
"...Okay, how did he do that?" Blake asked, wondering the same thing many others do.
"Meh," Sun shrugged, "He once stole a girl's panties while she was wearing them without her noticing." And then he closed his mouth as he realized what he just said.
"Wait, what!?" Team RWBY and their Blades, minus the absent Nox, shouted in unison.
"You're making that up," Roze accused, before his empty eyes widened behind the skull mask. "Wait, who was the girl?" the white eyed reaper had a slight edge to his tone.
"Some third year," Sun responded, sounding like he was ashamed of Wu. Which instantly relaxed the reaper Blade. While the girls weren't sure if they should be in disbelief, or extremely worried.
With Cinder, the woman was tapping her foot as she was waiting for Emerald and Mercury to show up. "Where are those two?" Cinder was getting impatient as she glanced toward the currently open doors, hearing the students laugh at something. "Must be a good show," Cinder thought, almost regretting not staying to watch. But then she had enough and picked out her Scroll and called Mercury again. It didn't take long for the call to connect. "Mercury, where are you?" Cinder asked, waiting for the answer. Which didn't come for five seconds, "Mercury?" Cinder asked, before taking the Scroll away from her ear at the gurgling sound that came out of it. "What is this!?" Cinder exclaimed as the call disconnected. Things were really not going according to plan. "I better go back inside." Cinder thought, just as the gurgling noise came out again. This time, right behind her. "Whoever it is... I will roast them alive." Cinder thought as her heart raced a little. Despite everything she had been trained for, she was still shaken a little bit by this unexpected event. Cinder turned around quickly, which made her come face to face with the ghastly face of the ghost that had gotten its hands on both Emerald and Mercury.
Back inside, Wu had shown a few more classic tricks with a bit of a twist of his own. Such as "pick the card". Wu had picked Dahlia from the audience to pick a card before he shuffled it into the deck and showed several cards claiming them to be what she picked. But the answer was no for the first three times, which made the audience start to look disappointed, before Wu smacked himself as if he had a realization before drawing the correct card. From Dahlia's cleavage.
"Sorry about that," Wu apologized to the audience after confirming the card with a baffled Dahlia, "I guess I'm finally starting to lose my touch." Those words earned small laughter out of the audience, while Dahlia was still trying to comprehend how that card ended up between her impressive mounds without her noticing. However, Wu had other ideas right now," But hopefully my powers are enough for the Grand Finale." At those words, Wu moved to the side before pulling out a large empty cage on wheels. "Behold, as I will summon forth an amazing creature into this cage. It will be big, it will be exotic, and it will be horrifying!" Wu boasted, while making the appropriate motions to go with his explanation.
The audience was equal mix of excited and skeptical. After all, Wu did say he was losing his touch with that last performance.
"Now then, ladies and gentlemen, let us begin the ritual," Wu spoke up as he took out his rather large cape and used it to cover the cage. "From the depths of all that is Dark and Nasty. From the bowels of all that is Repulsive. I summon forth a Creature of pure hidiocy to bring forth revulsion, excitement and laughter to the dreary lives of these bored adolescents!" At the last part Wu pulled the cape off of the cage. Which earned multiple gasps at what was inside the cage.
"What the heck is that!?" A random guy shouted while covering his eyes.
"That's not right!" Yang shouted as she covered Ruby's eyes.
"Wh... Why!?" A random girl added in with a furious blush.
"I see you all have borne witness to that which should not be seen by a human-" "What the f***!? What's going on!? Who did this!?" Were the three sets of shouts that interrupted Wu's speech. Causing the monkey to snap his head towards the cage to see Cinder, Mercury and Emerald. But something was different, namely their clothes. Gone was Cinder's regal dress and it was replaced by what looked like latex harness crisscrossing across her body, barely covering the important bits. Emerald simply had some kind of pads which were just large enough to cover her aerolas, while she was wearing... micropanties? And Mercury... He looked like he was wearing some kind of leather harness that did nothing to cover the... important bits. But the one thing all three had in common was a collar with some kind of tag on them.
"What?" Was all Wu could say as he tip-toed closer to the utterly mortified trio, "What? What? What? What? Whaaat!?"
"Did you do this!?" Cinder screamed as she pointed at what she thought was a fetish outfit. While also covering whatever she could of her body with her arms. Emerald doing the same thing. While Mercury was focused on covering his crotch.
"I…This…isn't what I had in mind," Wu said as he looked highly disappointed before turning to the audience. "I'm sorry everyone, this was supposed to be the Grand Finale, but I only summoned three mundane beings," Wu apologized to the audience.
"Mundane!?" Cinder and Emerald cried out in unison, while Mercury didn't dare to speak out.
"What're you talking about!?" A random guy shouted before taking out his Scroll to take a picture of Emerald and Cinder.
"This is great!" Another guy shouted as he joined in. With that, multiple Scrolls were taking pictures of Cinder's Emerald's and Mercury's sorry state.
"Stop that and let us out of here!" Cinder practically roared.
Emerald wanted to use her semblance to make it look like they, or at least she herself, weren't there, but affecting this many minds at once would be far too taxing. So all she could do was blush in embarrassment and shame of being photographed which she had a good idea of what they would be for.
"Oh come on, you probably wanted this!" A random girl shouted as she along with several other girls were also taking pictures, though whether they took them of the two girls or Mercury was debatable.
With that, the trio could do nothing but submit to the humiliation they were put in somehow.
Some time later, the party had ended, and the stage would be soon removed from the ball room. However, right now, Wu was looking around the back of the stage to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything. Only to stop as he noticed a deathly pale hand reach out from beneath the structure that made the stage. Then a mop of dirty black hair followed, and the rest of the body of the ghost that the three criminals faced. The thing let out a gurgling sound which made Wu give it a thumbs up. "Nice job partner," the monkey Blade said happily, "It all went exactly as we planned."
In response, the ghost grabbed it's hair, before removing it, revealing it to be a wig. Which in turn revealed a shorter messy midnight hair. Then the ghost grabbed it's face with it's clawed hands and took it off, revealing it to be a very good mask. Which in turn revealed a familiar face which was covered by a white cloth mask and a familiar eyepatch. "That it did." Nox showed on his scroll which he picked up from the inside of the burial dress. "Although we must do clean up later."
This made Wu smirk, "So, how did Mercury react to the pig's blood we got from the butcher?"
"Not much." Nox showed with a disappointed look in his visible eye. "But we anticipated that."
"You anticipated," Wu pointed out, before picking up the Scroll he had gotten from Ozpin, just so he would stop using Sun's. "Still, the hard part was for me to get to the dorms without being seen to distract Mercury so that you could sneak in through the window."
"It was easy to close the door with him being as distracted as he was." Nox showed on his Scroll while having a look in his eye that convinced Wu that there was an evil smirk under that cloth. "But I believe the hardest part was replacing the ammo of his metal legs."
"Oh, please. You're a ninja, sneakery like that is probably hardwired into your body," Wu retorted before having a slightly disappointed face. "Shame I had to get to the fuse box quickly to turn off the lights in the hallway, I wanted to see his face when he realized no one was there." The monkey added with a snicker at the thought of Mercury's face. But then he opened up the pictures that the tiny cameras they had spread around had taken of the incidents. He would post these along with the footage later.
"You have my thanks for that. As well as luring Cinder out and keeping the show going long enough for me to... prepare them." Nox showed on his scroll with a small bow and a mischievous look.
"Nah, it was nothing," Wu said dismissively, before having a twinkle in his eye, "Besides, it was fun. Frankly I could've done that all night, but we had to time it just right for them to wake up."
"And I was not disappointed at the end result." Nox showed on his scroll as he turned to leave the monkey Blade.
"One last thing," Wu then spoke up, causing the dark Blade to pause, "Where did you get the idea for that ghost?"
The trickster could swear Nox was grinning like a shark as the dark Blade revealed his answer, "It was from a horror movie Yang made us all watch two weeks ago. Poor Ruby could not sleep for a week without Roze holding her."
"Oh…well, good night to you," Wu wished as he turned around to do one last check of his things before turning around to confirm that the ninja had disappeared. "Typical." Wu huffed before getting back to business before turning in for the night.
AN: I couldn't resist. I just couldn't. I couldn't resist the sneakiest tag team pulling an elaborate prank on Cinder and her cronies. To those of you wondering if this is canon... think of it as you will XD.
