Chapter 154 - Vytal Festival Part 4

RAVEN & YANG MEET Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Vale, Outskirts: Forest Area

On the next day. Yang was waiting in a forest area, just outside the city of Vale. After telling her boyfriend, that she'll meet with her mother, Raven Branwen, she'll admit, she has been both nervous and anxious. She'd asked Ranma, Blake, and the girls to let her go alone. Yang wanted to confront and meet her mother, on her own terms. Fidgeting in clear nerves, as she paced around. Yang, she was barely able to keep calm, unknown to her, she wasn't the only one that is nervous. And trying to find some way to approach this situation. From a random branch, from a tree in the area that Yang was pacing around on. Was a bird, a raven to be specific. Looking at the recently reincarnate blonde devil, with a look of sadness and longing. RWBY-Raven, she flew over to the meeting spot earlier, than the oriented spot. But she was soo nervous, that'd she remain a bird, and started thinking of anyway to approach her daughter...they're really mother and daughter... Raven Branwen, she finally mounted the courage and swoop down to the ground. Reverting to her human form, her face a mask of fake coldness, so she can hide her nervousness. When Yang saw her mom...she'd stopped moving and fidgeting. The two women, soo identical in appearance, only with different color patterns.

Before RWBY-Raven could say, anything to Yang. Yang shot forwards, hugging her tightly. Before breaking down crying... This was a sensation for the former Bandit Queen, wrapping her arms around her daughter. Placing her face over Yang's hair, and embracing, as mother and daughter for the first time, in many, many years. Even the once detached and cold, Raven Branwen, she started to cry as well. The therapy and mental editing, helping the once cold woman, thaw. As she started apologizing to her daughter over and over. Originally, Yang she wanted to punch her mom first, before anything became emotional. Now she and from what she could feel, on top of her head, her mom, couldn't stop the emotional surge. They'd stayed in a embrace, for a while. After a while, they finally manage to composed themselves, slightly parting from one another. As Raven, she smiled at the sight of her daughter. She couldn't understand what possessed her before, the illusion of strength and the fear of Salem. It had robbed her of something irreplaceable. Yang, smiled at her mother gaze as well, as they began talking. A talk long over do. All while some devils from the Saotome Peerage, watched over the mother and daughter duo. Happy for Yang, and kept their distance, as they talk and bonded. Some days later. After Yang spoke with her mom, it helped the Yellow Dragon, find some needed closure and peace. At the end of their conversation, she'd forgiven her mom, and even made a promise that they would, spend some time together. In those days, Yang and her mom, have seen each other a few more times. Talking and learning more about one another. She even introduced Rubes to her mom, Ruby Rose was soo nervous, all she could squeak out was a "hi" and wave at RWBY-Raven. But when Raven Branwen, saw Ruby, she'd cried a bit, as Rubes looked exactly like her mother...Raven's best friend. Summer Rose. RWBY-Raven, she walked over at the jittery Ruby, and hugged her, tightly. She mentioned to Rubes and Yang, that Rubes looks exactly like Summer. When they'd heard that they'd unknowingly said, "You knew mom?", Raven nodded and sat with the two girls, telling them stories about her times with Summer, Tai, and Qrow...

PREPARING FOR A DANCE Location Beacon Academy, Ballroom

The Beacon Dance was just around the corner. The main cast...minus, Ruby Rose were all excited for the dance. Looking at the ballroom, as it was decorated and prepared for the upcoming event. Everyone has already their dresses and suit picked out, Pyrrah was going with a long sleeveless red dress with a pair a dark red heels, Ruby with Yang and RWBY-Raven's help, picked a short, red, sleeveless dress with a thick black sash around the waist and black trim along the bottom. Yang aside from going to the dance in a short, white, halter neck dress with a pale gray hem, plus a yellow sash to add some color. She was mostly distracted with the images of her man and other girlfriends, in their dance clothes. Yang almost drowled, if not for Blake lightly and affectionately...smacking her on top of the head. Saying to her yellow bombshell of a girlfriend, "Bad girl. Save that imagination for private spaces." As for Blake, she was going in a short, purple, asymmetrical, halter neck dress that is split up the right side and has a black collar. Translucent black mesh covers her shoulders, decolletage and back, and decorative black swirls cover the left side of the dress and continue up the left strap. And the cat-faunus, at least has some decency to keep her thoughts for going wild...in public. Yang, she rubbed the bump on her head, and looked at her first girlfriend, with mock betrayal, and said, "Hey you were thinking, the same things as me." Blake, looked away, making everyone in team H.U.N.T.E.R. look over at the not so subtle Blake, trying to act innocent.

Aside that little show. Weiss is going to dance in a short, white, sleeveless dress with cutouts on both sides of her waist. The yoke of the dress is translucent mesh. Like Yang she was eager to see how Laharl will look in a suit. In fact the thoughts, were causing her light, almost pale cheeks, blush red at the images, popping in her brain. She fiddle around with the edge of her skirt, very excited for the upcoming dance.

Lastly there was Ren and Nora. Ren, of course told his girlfriend Nora, about Ranma offer. And Nora told him, that they should accept. Aside from each other, they'd had nothing left in Remnant. She wanted to be not only with him forever, but the new family they'd made. Blake, and Yang, are already devils, and most likely Weiss were going become one in the future. Plus all their other friends are very long-living devils, so it made perfect sense for them to become devils as well. Ren smiled, and kissed her. Making Nora a bit giggidy and happy. But returning to the upcoming dance, under Nora assistance and input. Ren decided on wearing a black suit with dark red, and thin accent of pink bow tie, and a light-gray vest, underneath his suit. While Nora was going in a pink strapless dress with a white skirt. As the team continues to talk of their plans for the upcoming ball. Two individuals were standing at the hallway entrance of the ballroom, one was the blond monkey-boy, Sun Wukong, looking a bit peeved. Standing beside him, is his best friend and teammate Neptune Vasilias. Who is tan skin, Blue eyes and messy light-blue hair in the form of an undercut. He wears 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 sports a pair of gray jeans with black padding strapped to the sides as well as black shoes fastened with straps instead of laces. His notable accessories within his attire include black fingerless gloves and a pair of yellow-tinted goggles typically worn on his forehead. Neptune, was a bit nervous. Cause he didn't know how to dance, and the girl that caught his eye in Beacon. She said no to him, a wound to his pride, but Neptune cheered up, and was wondering out loud of the snacks that were going to he at the dance. Turning to see his friend, Sun, frowning his blond tail standing straight, he sighed. Looking where he knew Sun was looking towards, and said, "Look man. You already got beaten up twice. That cat girl, already has a guy and five... Five!! Girls, Sun. Maybe fate is slapping in the face, with how obviously, you're not going to get together, and should give up ma..." before Neptune could finish. Sun, growled and yell at him to shut up, "hmphing" loudly, before he left through the hallway. Neptune shuke his head, and followed his hopeless friend.

EMERALD GET Location Remnant-Vale, Shopping District

Emerald, was alone. Cinder, she was feeling a bit annoyed that both Watts and Torchwick have been dark and unresponsive. She'd suggested contacting Lady Salem...and received a slap in the face, for her troubles. Cinder, she told her that she never say such a suggestion to her again. Claiming that reporting these...setbacks...weren't worth troubling their mistress, Mercury, commented softly, "Your just afraid, mommy is gonna punish you, for failing." nearly receiving a fireball for his comment. But as much as she wants to deny it, and she'll never say out loud. Especially near Mercury...he was right. Sighing as she continued her walk through the shopping district, passing by several shops. She was heading to the bakery, maybe some pastries and barrista made coffee, would make Cinder happy. All the while someone was subtlely following her. A pigtailed, shortstacked devil. Everyone's favorite Levi-chan, she looked at the little mint-green, lost lamb. So desperate for affection and approval she clinged, to a abusive, manipulative woman for a semblance of affection. When Levi-chan, saw Emerald and her story in the RWBY show. Her heart arched, and she swore that once they started dealing with bad guys of RWBY, she'll take Emerald. Thanks to Ran-tan, training the main cast, it allowed him to sneak a special marker on Emerald. That would tell Serafall, when Em-tan aka Emerald was alone like now. Using a bit of magic, to make everyone blind and uninterested of what's about to happen. Levi-chan, she'd skipped ahead, reaching Emerald. And before the girl, realized what happened, Serafall, she hit her with a wand. Shattering her aura, and knocking her out, completely. Picking Emerald in her arms, before she fell onto the sidewalk floor, smiling in triumph, Serafall teleported away, as another pawn of Cinder has disappeared without a trace.
