Back at Beacon academy, (Y/N), Nix, Neyah, and Pyrrha were all sitting down for their morning breakfast, and as usual they exchanged information, debriefing each other on the things that they wanted to accomplish during the day.
As (Y/N) listened to the girl's lively conversation, he couldn't help but think about the upcoming events that were happening under his alter ego, and the people that surrounded him in the nighttime. More specifically, he couldn't help but think about Scarlet and everything she did to help him out day in and out, she really was the backbone of the organization, and he was unsure if anything would've gone nearly as smoothly if she wasn't involved.
Obviously, he loves her, and she loves him as well, and on top of that she didn't mind sharing (Y/N) with another woman because she was into that. If anything, she said that it would be less like sharing and more like being a kid in a candy store, a sentiment that he oddly understood.
All that sounded perfect, and it truly would be, but the only real issue is the other women that he was in relationships with. Of course, Scarlet would easily reach any requirements that the girls would have for them, and he knows that none of them, including Glynda, mind having more partners in the relationship, but he still feels like an issue could arise because of their personalities.
"Scarlet has a very strong personality, and she definitely likes to be in control in most scenarios. Even when she is okay with taking a backseat to someone else, 90% of the time its to me, but even then, she is still somewhat in control. Neyah and to a lesser extent Glynda, both have these stronger personality traits where they are very dominant as far as relationships go. That's probably why they had such a strong confrontation the first time they met, but I think that because of Glynda's more mature nature they were still able to connect over the course of the week and now they're pretty close."
As (Y/N) continued to think, he began staring into space no longer paying much attention to the girl's conversation. "However, I don't know if that'd be the case with Scarlet and Neyah, shit maybe even Glynda could have an issue with Scarlet. They are both 'older' woman after all. I know they'd all love her if they took some time to hang with her, but that initial meeting might leave a bad taste in some mouths. Especially if they open up with the whole 'testing' thing, Scarlet probably wouldn't take to kindly to that."
(Y/N) sunk further into his own thoughts as he went through the many possible issues that could arrive with the girls meeting Scarlet, and as he thought more, the one thing he wouldn't allow to happen was a fight of any kind. "So, I guess my best possible option would be to just bring the topic up and talk it out with them before we all meet together at some point."
At the same time, the girls took notice of their Lover's lack of participation in their conversation, and Nix lightly tapped on her lover's shoulder to grab his attention. "Baby what's wrong? You've been oddly quiet all morning" as Nix questioned her Babe concerningly, Pyrrha quickly followed up after her sister in loves question.
"Yes Hubby, you've been very introspective all morning. Is everything alright? Is something plaguing your thoughts?" After her sisters' comments, Neyah's attention was turned onto her Darling as she awaited his response.
(Y/N) attention quickly exited his mind and was turned onto the six eyes that were staring holes into his own. "Well, I guess there really isn't a better time to discuss it then now. I'm completely fine for the most part, but there is something on mind and it kinda involves all of you, including Glynda. So, I think we should go see her before I start divulging any of my thoughts." The girls looked at each other for a moment and then accepted their lover's proposal.
After finishing their meals and cleaning up after themselves, they headed to Glynda's room where they'd hopefully be able to resolve this small issue. As they entered the large room, as usual they walked along the steps lining the spectator's benches and hopped into the large arena where Glynda was sitting comfortably at her floor risen desk doing 'paperwork'.
The mature woman's head perked up as she saw the approaching group, "hello my lovelies, its always a joy to see your beautiful faces so early in the morning, but it is very early. To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you all so soon?"
As the group quickly approached the woman's desk, Neyah was the first to respond, "Darling has something on his mind, and he said that he needs to talk about it with all of us present."
"Is that so? My love, what's bothering you?" As Glynda heard that something was bothering her love, her expression immediately turned from amused to concerned, and she cleared her desk to allow them to sit down. "Come here, sit" as she said those words, she slid on top of the desk and patted her lap the same way she did the first time he entered the room.
(Y/N), of course, obliged the woman's request and he laid across the desk, placing his comfortably in her lap. "Now, please explain My Love, what happened? We're all listening."
The now incredibly comfortable man took a deep breath before he started to voice his concerns, "so, you all are aware of me and Byakko going out every night, right?" They all nodded their heads yes, "right. Well, there is this girl that's been helping me out immensely every night. She's been there for me literally since I started doing the whole night shift activities thing and I really couldn't have done it without her."
As their man spoke, they listened intently to every single word that came out of his mouth. "A little while ago, she told me that she loves me, and I of course told her about you all, which she was pretty excited about. Her name is Scarlet and I truly love her as much as I love all of you which is probably why this is eating at me so much."
"She's incredibly lovely, loyal, intelligent, and is pretty much anything anyone could want in a lover, and I believe that you all would love her as well." As they continued to listen to their lover, they couldn't help showing the 'so what's the problem?' look on all of their faces. So far, the girl that he's been talking about sounds perfect and they couldn't see any real problem that could've arrived, so they just kept listening.
"However, like most you, she has an incredibly strong, assertive, possessive, protective, and dominant personality which could rub some of you the wrong way on first contact. She's basically been my eyes, ears, head, and right and left arms in Vale since I've arrived, essentially, she's been my closest confidant. That fact mixed with her personality means she wouldn't take well to you all testing her love and loyalty to become apart of our relationship, which you all may not take well."
In that moment, everything clicked in their minds, and they started to understand their lover's concerns. "If I had to summarize everything, I'm basically just scared that you all may not like her when you first meet, and I'm afraid that if that happens, I'd be forced to make a choice between you all and Scarlet. That's literally the last thing that I'd ever want to happen." As he finished up expressing his feelings, a small smile found its way onto Glynda's lips, and she began gently massaging her love's scalp as she responded to his concerns.
"Awe my love, your so adorable. I cannot speak for everyone else, but I whole heartedly trust your judgement when it comes to deciding what people you wish to be in a relationship with. You will always be my number one and having other lovers that love you as much as I do is amazing to me, so if you think that someone deserves to join our little ring of lovers then I'm all for it."
"I concur with miss Glynda's assessment," Pyrrha began, "I know it may be a little different for us since we weren't your first lovers Hubby, but I personally don't mind sharing you with others. If you believe that someone is worthy of receiving your love, then I will treat them with the same respect. My priority is your safety and happiness, and as long as they bring you joy then I am fine with their addition."
As the two women finished their reasoning, their attention turned to the twins and Nix was the first of them to respond. "I agree with you both as well, I trust my Baby's judgement on which people deserve his and our loves. However, my clan has rules and regulations that I still feel somewhat obligated to uphold in a sense."
"Although, as of late I have been seeing the error of those ways and how unnecessary it is to uphold most of the rules. With that being said, I trust your decision Baby, and if you love Scarlet then I love her as well, but at some point, I'd love to meet her in person to tell her." As she finished expressing her feelings, she, as well as everyone else, turned to her twin who was standing somewhat nervously. "Sister?"
It took a moment, but Neyah eventually opened her mouth to speak, "Uhm, I don't know. I think I get what yall are saying and I agree, but I just don't like it. I don't give a fuck about a clan rule or testing other girls or whatever, but it's like... I get really... Uhm..."
For some reason the proper words wouldn't come to her, but her sister quickly came to her rescue, "anxious?"
"Yeah that. Anxious and uhm... jealous when you're not around or your out with someone we don't know. When you're out with someone we don't know, I just get so fuckin anxious and nervous and.... scared." As she spoke, her long tail slowly unwrapped from her waist and began swaying nervously in the air and across the hard floor.
It took a moment for her to continue, but after a comforting touch from her sisters, Nix and Pura, she continued. "It makes me feel like I'm a kid again, and your gonna find someone better than us and then your gonna leave like... Nevada did." The moment the name was mentioned, the group understood where she was coming from.
They had all been updated on each other's pasts to a certain extent, so they were no strangers to the gruesome events that led to the girls coming to Beacon in the first place. "I know I shouldn't think like that, and I know that you'd never leave us like that, but it still hurts like a bitch to think about. So, when it does happen I kinda get a little possessive and jealous out of fear that you might leave or something. I honestly don't care if you're with another woman that loves you or you love, as long as they make you happy or whatever its fine with me. But I just want to know that's its happening, so you don't leave or anything."
The women's attention then fell back on the man who was resting in Glynda's lap, waiting for his response. "I'm sorry that I ever made you feel that way Neyah. I promise that I'd never leave you or anyone else here over anybody, I love all of you more than life itself and that'll never change. Being as open as possible has been something that I haven't been doing as of late because I have a lot of information that I've been hiding from all of you, but I never meant for that secrecy to slip into romantic endeavors. From now on I'll make sure to let all of you know exactly who I'm interested in and the exact status of the relationship as a whole. And of course, allow you to meet them as soon as possible. Would that make you more comfortable Neyah?"
"Yeah, that's perfect actually!"
"Nix?"
"Yes, that'll work perfectly for me as well!"
"Pura?"
"Of course, Hubby."
"Glynda?"
"You already know my answer my Love," she said as she bent over to place a light kiss on his forehead. "So, when will we be meeting this Scarlet woman?"
"Yeah, and what the fuck does that chick look like? Is she like, older or younger?"
"I would like to know as well. Is she very strong, or does she use her amazing intellect for other matters?"
"Baby, what's her body like? Are her tits tight and perky or large and bouncy?"
(Y/N) quickly stopped the questions with, "you'll meet her soon enough! Just give us like a week ish, there's a lot of stuff going on right now that has to get handled first. But really? What's up with those questions. Yall are insane." After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Tight and perky, but she has a really fat ass."
"Yessss!" Nix yelled as she fists pumped the air at her lover's response.
The group had a small chuckle at the girl's reaction before Glynda spoke yet again, "see my Love, you had nothing to worry about. We all love you and there is nothing you could do to stop that."
"I know" he whispered to the woman with a joyful grin on his face. "Now that that's been resolved I guess we could start training a little early today" he said as he tried to rise from Glynda's lap.
As he tried to rise from her soft, plump thighs he found that his body felt much, much, much heavier than usual and the mature woman clearly noticed this. "We? Nuh-Uh young man, you have been through a lot this week and you have something big happening soon. You-need-to-rest" as she spoke the words, with every passing instant his eyes became heavier, and with a single finger she pushed her love back down into her plump thighs.
The other women watched amazed as they saw Glynda slowly stroked the restless, machine that they called their lover to sleep. "There, there. Be a good boy and fall asleep for me." It only took a moment longer and the restless, sleepless man was inexplicably put into a deep slumber that he would surely awake energetically from.
Neyah was the first react, "how? I thought Darling couldn't sleep?"
Nix quickly followed up with, "I don't remember if Baby ever said he couldn't sleep, I think he said he didn't need it. But I know that he never slept when he was cuddling with us, not even the night we first met."
"Really? Wow miss Glynda, your ability is truly wonderous. How did you do such a thing?"
Glynda chuckled slightly at the girl's response, "I don't have an idea myself. (Y/N) was just as surprised the first time I made him fall asleep as you all are now."
"Damn, what do we do now?" The other girls were clearly wondering the same thing as they stood around looking at one another for answer.
However, a mischievous smirk began forming on Glynda's face as she pulled The Disciplinarian from her cleavage. "I don't remember saying that you were excused from training" as she spoke, the saucers that haunted the dreams of the girls began rising from the edges of the ring. "Now, my Love won't be able to heal your Aura's from damage today, so I recommend you avoid taking as many hits as possible. Now, let us begin today's lesson!"
..........
As (Y/N)'s eyes slowly began fluttering open, he awoke to the feeling of his scalp being gently massaged and watched as the girls acrobatically combated one another while Glynda sent invisible saucers at them with her free hand.
It took a moment for his brain to fully awaken and fully realize his surroundings, and before he could finish, a soft, sultry voice from above him spoke. "Good morning my love! How was your rest?"
After hearing Glynda's voice, the events that happened before he was forced to slumber were suddenly forced back into his mind, and he quickly understood what happened. "Good morning, Glynda, that sleep was phenomenal, but I'd prefer it if you'd let me know before hand when your gonna force me to sleep."
The mature woman chuckled slightly at her man's comments, "I'll keep that in mind next time, but if I see that you need rest, I will provide with it" Glynda whispered as she shifted from his scalp to his back, gently gliding her fingernails along his clothed back. (Y/N) grunted in acknowledgement at her declaration, still trying to shake off the rest of the sleep that was clinging onto his body.
In doing so, his attention turned to the girls her were sparing, rapidly attacking one another only to suddenly dodge as an invisible object came flying in towards them. Glynda of course noticed his attention shift and decided it was best to explain what was occurring, "they've gotten the hang of Aura Sensing for the most part, being able to use it fairly well in combat as you can see. The rate at which they have been improving is astonishing, even when comparing them to other prodigies of previous generations. I guess this is the (Y/N) effect that you have on people" she said with a smile.
"The (Y/N) effect?"
[The (Y/N) Effect!]
*New* Ability Obtained- *The (Y/N) Effect*- You have the innate ability to bring out the best in those around you, and the deeper the bond you have with them, the more influence you have on them. This influence strives, motivates, propels the people around you to become the best them they can be; +50% Exp to all Allies
"The (Y/N) effect." As he thought of his 'new' ability, he turned his attention from the sparring women to the gorgeous mature beauty who was orchestrating a wonderous attack with her single free arm.
He sat with his head face up on the woman's lap, staring into her eyes as he thought, "why does Glynda keep fucking with the System? First it was the curse and now she's just randomly giving out abilities with her own coined terms. Somethings gotta be up with this woman right?"
[Meta has no idea! Meta believes Glynda just loves (Y/N) very much! However, it could be because of the Curse that she can bypass the System's usual checks and do things that are not usually possible! Like naming an Ability before the System can! Meta predicts Glynda might be especially special!]
"I think Glynda's special as well and it definitely makes more sense that she's just naming an Ability instead of creating one., I don't think she'll be able to just slap on random skills and abilities whenever she wants to. If anything, I think it's just an opinion that some, or all, of those around me had so the Ability was prepared to be created, but when Glynda gave it a name it was kinda forced into existence. Either way, it's weird."
[Meta believes that you are correct in your assessment!]
Before he could respond to his partner, Glynda took attention to the young man's staring and bent down to peck him on the lips all while continuing her silent assault on the sparring women. "By the way my Love, you were asleep for about 8 hours. You must've been incredibly tired to have slept for that long, is everything alright?" Eight hours is normal for anyone else, but for a being that literally didn't need, desire, or even had the natural ability to sleep, it was a little concerning.
"Eight hours? That's kinda crazy. Yeah, I've been fine lately, but I guess when given the opportunity to sleep my body kinda just crashes for a while." Glynda nodded, accepting her man's answer for what it was. "Thank you for lending me your lap as usual Glynda, it's always nice to be able to nap for a while."
"Any time my love, you know that your health and happiness is always going to be my top priority. I'd do anything if it meant that I'd be helping you and I'm sure that the other girls feel the same way. Speaking of which," Glynda lowered her Disciplinarian, revealing the Sauces, and sending them back to their cubbies at the edges of the arena. "I believe that's enough training for the day ladies!" As soon as the woman spoke, the battling girls immediately dropped to their knees, completely exhausted from the day of training.
"Damn, they must've really been workin hard. Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement, Remnant's Encouragement¸ Remnant's Encouragement. That should be enough" he thought as he utilized his skill to restore the girls' Aura.
The moment the familiar blissful feeling covered the girls' bodies, they immediately turned to their lover laying in Glynda's lap and leaped towards him as they realized he was awake. "Hubby your awake! How was your rest?" Pyrrha spoke as she quickly approached the now awake (Y/N).
His other lovers did the same, running up to his laying form in excitement, asking how his sleep was, if was okay, and how Glynda made him fall asleep. He of course, took the time answering all of their questions, clearing up any of their confusion.
He tried his best to explain the 'curse' that Glynda placed on him, but they ended up more confused than they were before, so he ended up summarizing that she could forcefully put him to sleep as long as she made him comfortable first.
After that, they spent the rest of the day hanging out with one another, taking the time to explore the commercial area of Beacon once more. While they were on that little date, (Y/N) talked more about his nighttime excursions, telling his lovers about the Malachite twins, without naming their names, and how they called him Bro and other things of that nature.
As day slowly turned to night, Glynda had to separate from the group to keep Ozpin busy, since she's resorted to acting as a sort of 'spy' for him and has been providing fake information to keep him at bay.
The rest of the lovers went back to their room to enjoy some more skin ship before their man left once more, and as they laid naked and exhausted in their bed; they said their goodbyes before falling into a deep slumber.
As usual, (Y/N) took a moment to ensure that they were fully asleep before teleporting out and leaving his clone in his place. Byakko took her place in his arms and after he quickly got dressed, he teleported out of the room and headed down to Vale.
Using his mental map, he was able to determine that Scarlet wasn't at her shop, so he and his furry companion went straight to their headquarters, transforming into their nighttime counter parts on the way there.
As they reached the club, the Devil teleported them into the office, seeing the usual suspects as he entered the room. Scarlet was in her Hel garb sitting behind the desk and the trio of supporters in their custom chairs.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted in a similar way as he normally was, Junior bowed slightly, the twins said hi with an embrace, and Hel gave him a masked kiss. Now that they were all already standing, (Y/N) figured that now would be as good a time as any to begin their activities. "Is everything prepared already?"
"Of course, Honey! We were all just waiting for your arrival" Hel responded excitedly, clearly looking forward to the event that was soon to take place.
As Junior walked up to the group, he took a moment to bow in respect to his Boss before debriefing him on the current situation. "Everything has been prepped, the spectators are waiting, and the contestants are ready. All that's left is for your presence to kick things off right!" The large man spoke with an enormous grin plastered on his face, even he couldn't contain his hype.
The twins quickly followed Junior's comment, grinning and giggling all the while, "Bro, Mother accepted the money and the Dust! She said that she was more than willing to help you with your suit problem" Mil said as she giggled.
"Yeah, so like, we delivered all the stuff on a bullhead earlier today and like, Mother said that she could get everything done super quick! So, everything should be delivered back to us by Friday night!"
"Thank you both for the help, that's amazing news. Now, let's go downstairs and enjoy the festivities that took us so much effort to prepare for." After his small announcement, the excitement in the room rose even further, and the group quickly made their way towards the office's large exit. Junior opened the door and allowed the rest of his companions to exit first, with the Devil taking lead as they traveled down the steps.
The Devil looked around at the now empty VIP floors of the Club, never seeing the club look so vacant before. The reason was made very apparent as every step he took towards the main floor brought the loud sounds of excited men cheering and the bump and bass of energetic music blaring and shaking the floors.
The very moment he exited out of the large rectangular archway that led from the VIP area into the main club room, he could feel the invigorating, exhilarating, energetic vibe of the room. For a moment, (Y/N) was left in awe, taken aback by the pure joyousness that was brought to, and came from, everyone in the room.
The music was jumping, the lights were flashing, and the people were flying, even the usually stoic, straight-faced bouncers were bouncing and vibing in the environment. The usual white lit panels of the glass pillars were now a Scarlet red, the lights were flashing black and red, and the dance floor was filled with black squares with glowing red lines bordering them.
Weaving through the crowds of people came bartenders and hostesses that dropped off drinks by the bottles to the spectators, and in the center of the room was a mass of suited men going buck wild on the dance floor.
As the Devil took a few more steps into the room, his presence was quickly recognized by the surrounding Xiong men, and they instantly took a moment to bow to him. The Devil raised his hand slightly letting them know that they the showing wasn't needed right now, and as he walked deeper into the large room, he quickly reached the edge of the Balcony where the DJ's booth was previously located.
The Balcony's set up was slightly different then before, as the DJ's setup was now on an elevated platform on the base floor of the room, directly below the edge of the balcony. In place of the large musician's booth were now five chairs that appeared more like thrones than traditional seating, and each of the chairs were a clear representation of the one that it belonged to.
The single, center most 'chair' was a large throne with a metallic black frame that made it glow and shine in the light of the room. At the end of the left arm rest was a red sculpture of a screaming banshee with her jaws wide open revealing razor-sharp, knife-like teeth, and her eyes open showing her pitch-black eyes.
Carved onto the end of the right armrest was a similar sculpture except this one depicted a black, demonic figure with two sharp horns jaggedly stabbing out from its head and its maws slightly agape showing its fanged teeth. Its eyes were a beaming crimson and hanging loosely in its jaws was a dual sided scythe with red tipped blades at each end.
The center of the throne was made from red cushions with intricate black designs sown into the fabric, and at the top of the seats frame was a large tiger like beast, crouched low, prowling as it watched over the chair's inhabitants.
Directly in front of the awesome throne was an elevated black, white, and red cushion that went up to the thrones arm rest level, allowing it to clear the glass banister that overlooked the club's activities.
Slightly behind the throne was four more similar, but smaller, chairs, two on each side of the larger throne. The one farthest to the right had a pure white metallic, glossy frame and icy blue cushions to match, and at the top of its frame was a light blue Gem that illuminated its surroundings.
To the left of that seat was another throne like chair with a red frame and black cushions, with the top of the frame having a cutesy black bow carved into it. On the left of the largest throne was another chair with a black frame, but this one had all white cushions and a streak of blood red that covered the center of the white cushioning, and at the top of the black frame was a red tie that had been carved into it.
Next to that one, the final seat, furthest left of the throne formation was a pure white seat. White cushion, white frame, with no intricate designs or carvings on it at all.
The Devil walked leisurely across the mirador, stepping passed the five thrones for the leaders of their organization, and took two further steps placing himself at the head of the balcony, perfectly putting himself in front of the glass border that overlooked the rest of the main floor.
The moment he reached the peak of the Balcony, he took a moment to oversee all the excitement that the men were exuding, and as he watched Hel quickly fell into step beside him, standing tall as his equal in all but physical strength.
The longer the Devil and his Mistress stood there, the more of the henchman below began noticing their presence, and as they did, they immediately stopped what they were doing to take a bow. As others began bowing, their peers quickly noticed what they were bowing at and followed suit.
Soon, everyone in the entire room had turned from chaotic partiers to dutiful henchman, bowing and showing their respect for the Bosses that were above them. They all kept their heads bowed, not uttering a single sound as they waited for the ones above them to speak.
Hel looked over to her partner to speak, and as the Devil saw the look, he took a micro step forward and cleared his throat before speaking. The small action reverberated through the club as if he loudly grunted and because of that, all of the attention was on him as they prepared to hear his voice. "Why Are You All So Tense? Why Has All The Excitement And Energy Dissipated?"
After asking the two questions, he took a short pause before continuing. "All Of You, Raise Your Heads!" As soon as his booming voice echoed off the marble club walls, everyone instantly raised their heads and looked towards the sky to see their Bosses masked face, anticipating his next words. "Tonight, Is The Night That All Of You Are No Longer Just Members Of The Xiong Family. Tonight, Is The Night That You Are A Part Of Something Much, Much Larger Than That! The Time Of Wandering Around Aimlessly, Taking From Those Weaker Than You, And Squabbling With People Not On Your Level Is Over! Tonight, Is The Night That Every Single One Of You Has Gained A Purpose!"
Every time the Devil had spoken before, his tone of voice was monotone, never changing even when his vocal intensity increased slightly, but now he was truly shouting. As he projected his booming voice across the filled space, his words struck deeply within the hearts of everyone who heard him, moving them to believe in everything said.
"You Are No Longer Member's Of A Criminal Syndicate, Gangsters That Are Viewed As Nothing More Than Scum, A Blight On The City Of Vale. Instead, Tonight You Are All Soldiers In The Devil's Army! Warriors That Ride Powerfully Into Battle And Always Come Out On Top! The Righteous Few That Will Dominate Our Enemies And Stand Tall, Head And Shoulders, Above The Rest! You Are My Acolytes That Will Spread Our Dominance Not Only Through Vale, But To All Of Remnant!" With every word he spoke, the men felt invigorated, revitalized, rejuvenated, and due to this rising feeling a pure galvanized energy they couldn't help but let out a thunderous roar.
"RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH/AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" As they roared, the chorus of their unified strength shook the building to its foundation, rumbling the grounded bottles, tables, and furniture.
As they let out their war cries, the Devil remained steady, taking a brief pause before simply speaking over their tremendous roar. "That's Right, Roar Victoriously! Declare Your Victory Before The Battle Has Even Begun! As Long As You Stand With Me, There Is No Way We Can Be Defeated!" At that, they roared even louder, conquering their opponents, overcoming their challenges, and winning the fight before it began.
The Devil then took a moment to let the men finish declaring victory before he slightly raised his hand, hushing the crowd completely before he began again. "They Say That Blood Is Thicker Than Water To Justify The Need Of Prioritizing Family Over Everything, But We Are No Family! You Know What I Believe Is Thicker, Stronger, Superior To Blood?" The crowd remained completely silent, waiting patiently for his answer. "A Bond."
He took a short pause before he continued, "A Strong Bond Does Not Bend Or Break. It Does Not Flow Or Change. A Bond Is Power. A Brotherhood Is Loyal. A Clan Is Forever!" The instant forever left his lips the riled-up Acolytes of his Clan erupted in shouts yet again somehow even louder than before.
The Devil then spoke over their howls yet again, "We Are A Clan That Represents The Strength Of This World! We Are The Ones That They Will Revere! The Word Grimm Will Be A Foot Note In History When Compared To The Impact We Will Have On Remnant!" The roaring cheers continued without stopping as the hype that they were experiencing had reached a peak and the Devil saw no need to stop them.
So instead of quieting them down again, he allowed them to cheer until the roaring chorus naturally simmered down, allowing him to speak once more. "So Again, I Ask, Why Are You All So Tense? We Are Of The Same Cloth! The Bonds That Bind Us Together Is Thicker Than Blood, Stronger Than Family! We Are A Clan!" The inspirational words pierced into the hearts of his clanmates, and in that moment they felt as if they had known the Devil that stood high above them all for their entire lives.
They were all collectively stagnant in their lives, unable to move even an inch, but with the Devils words they finally managed to take a single step forward towards the future. "To The People Outside This Club, Outside This Clan, I Am The Devil, But When You All Look Up To Me, Members Of My Own Clan, You All Will See What's Underneath." In that moment, the Devil gave his mask the command to slip down from full to half, revealing his beaming red eyes to the crowd of Acolytes.
"You all will see me as a light in the darkness! A glowing crimson blade in the heat of battle! But more than anything, you all will see me as a brother in arms" as he said it, he simultaneously reached into his chest and pulled out his blackened scythe, holding it high for all of them to see. "My blade does not belong only to me, but to all of those in my Clan, no, our Clan!"
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH/GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
The men lit up yet again, roaring in unison at their Bosses declaration, and most of them raised their weapons just as their Boss rose his. "So no more of this tense shit! Tonight, is the night to let loose! You have all earned it! Just being in this room right now is a feat worth celebrating, so let us all enjoy the night as if the sun wasn't gonna rise tomorrow!" And just like that, the energy had returned to the room and the men felt even further invigorated by the Bosses speech so the energy in the room was much higher than it was before.
Hel looked over to her partner in admiration, just as enthralled as his speech as the others were, but for completely different reasons. However, she quickly recovered as she realized that she had a job to do, so she took a small step forward, regaining the attention of the crowd with her presence alone and began speaking.
"Now that all you Acolytes are riled up, I couldn't think of a better time to start the main event! SO, if you would please get the fuck off the dance floor so the real dance can begin that would be great!" The Clan members executed their Mistress's command happily, drunkenly laughing off her aggressive tone of voice.
Surprisingly, that was one of the nicer ways that she ordered them to do anything, so to them she had just politely asked them to move. "Girls" Hel began as she turned around, "would you please start us off right?"
The twins chuckled at the woman's request and as they walked forward, they replied, "Like yeah Sis/ OF course Sis!" After the swift response, Miltia and Melanie Malachite leaped from the top of the Balcony onto the center stage, the former dance floor.
The sister in white cleared her throat slightly before she began, "so like, I'm Melanie!"
"And I'm Miltia! But you already knew that!" The woman in red said after her twin.
"Like, you all already know what's about to go down! The strongest like 8 people from the tournament are about to like battle out for all of our enjoyment!"
"Not only for our enjoyment, but also the one who wins, proving themselves as the strongest among you, will receive the immaculate honor of becoming one of us!"
"Immaculate, that's like, a really good word Sis!"
"I know right!"
"Yeah! Wait, hold on, what was I gonna say again? Oh Yeah, like one of us! Obviously, you'll never be like us, but you will become like an Elite in Bro's inner circle! And he's like, really cool so you'd really want that!"
"And you get a super cool custom chair so you can sit up there with us!" The twins then simultaneously pointed up towards the balcony, showing off a now seated Devil with Hel in his lap, and Scylla curled up in her cushion in front of his throne but that's not what they were pointing out.
Instead, they pointed to the empty, pure white throne that sat on the edge of the five-chair formation. "So, let's not keep yall waiting any longer! Let's start this shit off right!"
Melanie then dramatically spun as she pointed towards the east side of the, now, battle area. "So, like in the black corner we have some guy that you all know like pretty well! He's been a, like, staple member of the former Xiong family for a like, really long time! He's like really big, super strong, and very scary, I am of course talking about........ Fei Xiong!!!!!"
The moment she announced the man's name, the crowd of the Clan's men cheered loudly for the man's introduction, and as he appeared through the crowd (Y/N) could see why. Fei was huge, not as big as Junior, but he was incredibly tall, probably about 6' 8'' to Junior's 7'.
He wore the classic Xiong Family suit without the jacket, and he had both of his sleeves rolled up to the center of his massive, muscular forearms. In each of his hands he held large, red Kanabo which were essentially just metal spiked bats, and he held them as if they were sticks that had fell from a tree.
After the man had a quick showing of strength, spinning the weapons around in his hands skillfully and letting out a strong battle cry, Miltia knew it was her turn to introduce his opponent. "In the Red corner we have an ultra-mysterious figure that has remained largely unknown throughout the tournament! He's destroyed all of his opponents thus far in a single move and he also looks really cool! A phenomenal Faunus that has put it all on the line to join the Clan! You don't know him, but I know you want to, give it up for the cool-headed blondie....... Z!!!!!!!!!" The crowd erupted at the same volume they did for the veteran member, and as Z revealed himself and walked out from the crowd the excitement only grew.
