Hello everyone, DWG here bringing you another chapter! Now, I haven't been writing (typing) anything lately because of certain reasons, mostly lack of motivation to write...and me spending too much time playing League of Legends...but don't worry, I'm back!

Onto the reviews!

Falloutman11- Well, all will come to reveal itself in the future.

Varvariin- Yeah, I corrected that after noticing it from your review, thanks for that.

For the Swarm- Yeah, I mean, the "dense harem protagonist" has been the basis for many harem anime, but it has gotten old. I mean, granted, there are some exceptions and I still watch some anime that has a dense harem protagonist every now and then, but there are times when the line is crossed and the reeeeeee resounds throughout the house.

You're right, 7 is a decent amount. But I have a stupid impulse I like to call "put her in syndrome", which basically means whenever I see a potential waifu, I immediately jump on the ship and set sail. But don't worry, I learned to rein it in. And Leaf is the only OC that will be included in the harem, any other OC I make on the fly will just be side characters.

Yeah, I've been looking up at the different types of Dust and its uses, and I've been thinking on how some can help the Swarm and the festival is still a long way to go, and this has just started. And don't worry, the Zerg can be combatted...to a degree...but I don't think they can take on a fully upgraded Ultralisk, just look up StarCraft 2 Real Scale mod, everything is absolutely bonkers there. And that's not even mentioning the Leviathan!

Yeah, fixed that as soon as I read your review.

emoryjmorill- Thanks!

evolution-500- Thanks!

That is all, let's get on with the chapter!

Chapter 3- Step by step

Looking at the blonde impassively, Alain managed to suppress a smirk from forming on his face. Already, he is forming plans on how to deal with the blond bombshell.

And by deal, he meant having some fun with her...with her consent of course!

Sure, he was a criminal back when Mengsk was still alive, a terrorist as he was called by him. But that's cause the man's a huge douche that caused him to lose his sister and has the biggest controversy that would make even the most disciplined Protoss do a spit-take, and they don't even have mouths!

Is he a murderer? Everyone is when you fight in the frontlines. A thief? Debatable. A rapist? Absolutely not!

'Sis never did mention having fun while trying to find love.' He thought shrewdly.

And she didn't. While Kerrigan wanted him to find love, she didn't mention him messing around with others, because she already knew that deep inside, he is a pervert and a playboy. Two beings merged into one that manifested during his tutelage under one Trevor.

Besides, she can openly read his mind no matter what. So no secrets are kept between them as siblings.

And while Alain obeys her, a few loopholes wouldn't hurt much, that, and she did say to interact with others his age.

Is he gonna treat her like another girl from a one-night stand? No, he was taught better than that, his sister made sure to make him absorb how to treat a girl better from her.

And that includes not being a dick and treating a girl right.

Who knows? Yang might be the one that he falls in love with.

"As fun as that was, I believe Leaf is going to be..." Alain drawled slowly as he and Yang looked at the girl.

She was sporting a furious blush and somehow her eyes turned into swirls as she mumbled incoherent words. Yang chuckled as she scratched the back of her head with a grin. "Well, I guess we can continue our conversation on a later date." Alain said as he watched Yang huff and carry Leaf with one hand above her hips.

Its rather comical really, seeing someone being carried like a sack of potatoes.

"Yeah, you'll be leaving for Vale tomorrow, right?" Alain nodded as Yang opened the door.

"Want me to give you a ride?" She gave him a smirk causing Alain to give her his own smirk.

"Is it fast?"

Yang's smirk morphed into a grin.

"You bet."

Alain nodded as Yang did the same, a silent agreement between the both of them.

"Well, see you tomorrow, hope my impression left you with a Yang!" She laughed to herself as she left the room and closed the door.

Meanwhile, Alain blinked as he stared at the door.

"Why did she say her name at the end?"

After a while, he just shrugged as he looked outside the window of his room.

It was fairly dark already, and he did manage to learn a whole lot from the library. With a sigh, he slipped into his bed and lied down.

'If I enter Vale, I may need an identity for certain places or situations.' He looked to his side and narrowed his eyes as he saw that the light was still on. Sighing to himself, he reached out with his mind towards one of the many books he was reading and turned off the light with a well-aimed shot.

Afterward, the book fell with a thud.

'Heh, still got it.' He thought to himself as he closed his eyes.

'Once I reach Vale, I need to find a forger. The last thing I need is someone questioning where I came from when I booked a flight...and a Scroll...I need one...'

Nodding to himself, he let out a breath as he slept.

Next day

Digging into the plate of waffles with gusto, Alain nodded to himself as he tasted the crispiness and fluffiness of the waffles in one single forkful.

The diner was quite barren, with only him, a few employees, and a few early customers in it. It was quite peaceful, a moment that Alain was currently enjoying.

All was silent...

BANG!

"Hello~!"

Until a certain blond bombshell made herself known.

Alain blinked as he looked around and saw no one batting an eye, in fact, the man at the bar was only shaking his head.

So it's a common occurrence then.

Feeling Yang approach with someone-no, make that two somebodies, Alain rose a brow as Yang sat in front of him with a grin. Approaching her quietly and sitting beside her was a girl younger than the both of them dressed in a black dress with red frills that ends above her knees, a long red hood behind her, black stockings, and black boots with a red accent.

All in all, with her short black hair with red highlights and her innocently cute face, it was quite a wonder how someone so...cute was in front of him.

And those silver eyes shining brightly, they were so beautiful, perhaps even more beautiful than the blue eyes of the Protoss Templar.

She was sitting close to Yang for some reason and she was hesitantly looking at him in the eyes, why though?

Leaf sat beside him with a nervous smile, and for some reason, the atmosphere between them was quite...heavy, serious. Even with Yang grinning, Alain can already tell something was about to happen.

What though?

Before he can dive into Yang's mind, she spoke up.

"Sorry for interrupting your breakfast, Alain. But I just wanted to introduce to you, my little sister." Yang gently nudged at the girl with an expectant smile.

The girl bit her lower lip as she gripped her red hood and managed to look at Alain's cyan eyes with her silver ones.

"I-I...My name is Ruby...R-Rose..." The girl, now named Ruby, played with her fingers nervously as Alain blinked before giving her a nod. "Nice to meet you, Ruby. My name is Alain Kerrigan, you can call me Alain."

After that, a strange thought occurred to him, or rather, a strange line that his sister told him.

'If you meet a cute girl shorter than you, then you have to pet her head!'

Shrugging mentally, Alain leaned over with his hand stretched out.

From the corner of his eye, Yang was watching him like a hawk.

Ruby closed her eyes tightly.

Until a hand softly landed on her head and began to ruffle her head gently. Opening her eyes out of curiosity, Ruby blinked as Alain gave her an unnoticeable faint smile.

"No need to be nervous, Ruby..."

After a while, Alain's hand left her head, causing her to feel a small prang of disappointment.

Deciding to dive into Ruby's current thoughts, Alain raised a brow in amusement.

'So, she was nervous about meeting me and Yang wanted her to find more friends...' Chuckling to himself Alain can quite relate to Ruby. Both having sisters and wanting them to have more friends. But unlike him, Ruby is quite hesitant to get friends and lacks motivation.

"Yang."

"Hm?" Yang turned towards him with a curious gaze.

"I know you called her your little sister, but..." He turned to Ruby, who was looking at the menu. "You don't look alike." Yang blinked before shrugging. "We're half-sisters."

Alain nodded in understanding before turning to Leaf who gave a sigh. Blinking at her reaction, Alain shrugged as he continued to eat his waffles. Yang looked around for a few seconds before waving at a random direction.

A waitress came over to the group, with a pen and paper ready. Leaf smiled as she looked over at Yang before the blonde gave her a thumbs up.

"We'll have the usual, and..." She paused as she looked over at Ruby. Said girl just raised a single finger before closing the menu with a rather sharp snap.

"A strawberry milkshake and a piece of chocolate chip cookie pie." Alain blinked as the waitress quickly filled in the orders and left with a smile.

"So, when are you leaving?" Yang just shrugged as she leaned back on the seat. "Anytime, I don't have anything planned today anyway. Other than our date." She sent him a wink, causing Leaf and Ruby to stare at the both of them in surprise, Leaf's reaction being mildly surprised. Alain just let it off without a problem as he took a sip of his water. "Good, after we finish eating, we will leave."

Yang blinked for a few moments before shrugging. "Well, it's settled then. Although, I thought you'd be staying for a while." She said as she laid her head above her arms, knowing that it caused her already big breasts to look even more bigger. His eyes glanced at her blessed assets for a brief moment before looking at her lilac eyes gleaming with amusement, giving him the silent message that she noticed.

He smirked as he shrugged and didn't say anything as Leaf and Ruby began to chat about random things.

Yang glanced at her younger sister with a smile, then to Alain. 'He's slowly passing the test, now I just need to confirm one more thing...'

"So, Alain...what's your weapon?"

That seemed to stop him for a few moments as a rather silent atmosphere announced itself between the four of them. Leaf was a whole lot more nervous, and Ruby was looking at Alain with hidden excitement in her eyes.

"Nothing..."

Utter silence, Yang's eyes widened as Alain looked at her straight in the eyes with the same emotionless look.

Ruby for her own credit was very much shocked, no, rather, she is downright horrified. So horrified that she didn't notice that she was doing a really good imitation of a fish face. Leaf was doing the same, although a lot less fishlike and a whole more like an owl than anything.

"H-How...? You're a Huntsman-in-training! How are you supposed to fight off Grimm with your bare hands?!" Ruby all but practically screamed, causing all three occupants in the table to jump in shock at Ruby's outburst.

Blinking for a few seconds, Alain shrugged and replied, "My Semblance. That and I can hold my own with my own two hands." Alain answered curtly as he demonstrated one of his favorite Psionic abilities by levitating the glass of water, impressing both Yang and Leaf.

However, Ruby was less than pleased.

"But what would happen if you run out of Aura? You can't punch a Grimm to death unless you have some sort of gauntlet!" Ruby waved her arms around comedically as Alain blinked all the while Yang nodded in agreement. Sure, she could punch and make a dent or a crack, but that's all because she has Aura, she can't imagine herself punching the bony armor of any Grimm without Aura, much less a steel wall.

"Why not? It has always worked for me before." He told her, all the while mentally chuckling at how something weaker than an Ultralisk, Thor, and Colossus combined would be capable of beating him, oh the comedy!

Ruby was huffing as she pouted her lips, making her look even more cuter than before. "Still! You need to get a weapon!" Alain sighed as he leaned back on his seat. Yang can only imitate Alain with a sigh at Ruby's antics, but it's her sister, and this is a part of the test...

"Well, if you want to get me a weapon, then how about you make me one? If you can make me one that I'll like, then so be it." He gave her a teasing smirk as he leaned forward. This caused Yang to do a wide grin as she looked at Alain right in the eyes. "Deal! If Ruby can make a weapon you like, you do anything we want for the day!" Alain blinked before shrugging as he held out a hand towards Yang. "But if I don't like it, then you'll do the same, within reason of course." Yang's eyes held a shine inside them as she nodded and held Alain's hand with a firm shake before letting go. Looking at Ruby, he gave her a challenging smirk. "I look forward to what you have in mind."

Meanwhile, Leaf was looking at Alain, slack-jawed. He didn't know what he got into.

As for Ruby, her eyes were already sparkling as plans already began to form in her mind, and she's not mentally designing hundreds of weapons at the same time, no she is not doing that, no sir!

The moment they got their food was the moment nothing much happened between the four of them. Just chatting between friends, in which Alain participated for the sake of finding friendship among them.

As soon as they finished eating, Ruby left with Leaf in tow, while Alain was standing just outside the diner, waiting for Yang to bring out their ride.

Apparently, he was told to stick to the side where Yang won't run over him. He just chuckled as he closed his eyes in amusement. 'Yang's bike has to be as fast as a Vulture bike in order to have the smallest of chances of running me over.'

Brrrrrm!

Alain's eyes widened as he saw dust and dirt flying all over the street.

Once it settles, the commotion that gained the attention of many onlookers from buildings and from outside came from a familiar blond-haired girl with a pair of shades on and a yellow helmet riding a sick bike colored after her.

She took off her shades, gave him a wink and leaned over her bike, giving him a perfect view of her cleavage. "So, how would you rate my baby?" She cooed, causing Alain to chuckle as he approached her. "Design-wise? A perfect ten. Now, let's see how fast this baby of yours go." At that, Yang grinned as Alain went behind her and grabbed onto her hips as he sat behind her.

"Hope you won't regret those words!" She revved her bike as she did a circle with her bike, blowing dust around them before she rode off to a random direction.

Alain has to give her credit, whether or not Yang herself customized the bike to travel at extreme speeds, the ride is fast, faster than a Vulture bike.

"How is it?" Yang's voice was almost unheard due to the loud noise of the engine, luckily, being part Zerg, Alain heard her. "Nine, but if it can go faster, then I'll give it an eleven outta ten!" That seemed to give her more motivation as she once again revved her bike, causing said bike to roar even louder as it picked up speed with every second.

Alain smirked, when was the last time he rode something fast? It was exhilarating and nostalgic in a way. Vulture bikes are focused on speed and maneuverability, so its no surprise when its as soft as paper when in combat. But that's the point, they are mostly used for scouting back then.

"We keep this speed up, then we'd be in Vale in no time!"

"That's the plan, you wanna go on a date?"

Alain shrugged his shoulders as he gave her a smirk. "I wouldn't be opposed to it, rather, I would like it. Besides, I'd like to pay you back for the kiss last night." Yang gave him a smirk as well. "So, it's a date then?" He shrugged as he patted Yang's hips teasingly.

"Maybe someday, I'd like to know the girl who's driving a bike a lot more before we settle on a date."

Yang chuckled.

"Heh, same to you too, hot stuff."

'Good, let's take things slowly...'

Alain chuckled, catching Yang's attention as she looked at him via the rearview mirror. "What is it?" He shook his head, causing her to shrug her shoulders as she focused on the road.

'Funny that she says that when she kissed me on the lips while straddling me the moment we met.'

Needless to say, for the rest of the ride, Alain enjoyed it...not including the fact that his crotch was almost touching Yang's ass.

Not at all.

45 minutes later

"Look! We're almost there!" Alain managed a hum as he looked at the architecture of the tall buildings.

While pretty much behind Protoss architecture, it is a pretty decent looking city. The tall buildings, while some are dull looking, there are others that look like high-end hotels. There are some wherein he can guarantee a crime lord lives in.

'There are always crime lords in cities, big or small.' Alain mused as they entered the city.

Yang's bike slowing down slightly as they passed by many cars. While disappointing, it is quite understandable, it wouldn't do for his first day in the city to be spent with a cop asking questions. Especially since he still has no identity in their database.

That, and since he needs to keep his cover, he would also need to have some forged documents so he could get into Beacon.

'So much to do, but at least it's all easy.' Alain thought to himself as they reached a parking area. "So, what're your plans?" Alain shrugged as he lifted a leg and left his seat from the bike. "I'll be doing a few visits and some." He lied, no need for her to know that he is planning on visiting a forger.

"Huh, boring!" She drawled teasingly as she took off her helmet and shook her head, causing her long blond hair to dance in motion. She sighed in bliss as she turned her attention to Alain. "So, what do you think of Ruby?" Alain blinked as he stopped and closed his eyes.

"I think she's cute, and determined." Yang nodded since it was true. "With her outburst earlier, I can take a guess that she is quite energetic. And with how she acted, before she introduced herself to me, she is not that social." Yang's eyes widened slightly. She could understand if he said that Ruby is being shy, but knowing what the exact problem is says a lot about how Alain is quite perceptive.

"But even then, she is quite fun to be with. The challenge of her making a weapon for me certainly was entertaining enough." He chuckled as he opened his eyes. "So, all in all? I wouldn't mind hanging out with her." Yang blinked for a few moments before smiling as she looked at Alain fondly.

'Yeah, you pass the test, I am definitely getting you as my boyfriend! Nothing's going to stop me!' Yang mentally cheered as she was already making plans to make him her boyfriend.

'Beacon couldn't come sooner!'

Alain had to keep himself from chuckling as Yang's thoughts were literally being read by him. 'Well, you and me both, Yang. If you can make me fall in love with you, then there will be nothing that would stop me from getting you too.' Meanwhile, Yang was stuck in her imaginary world which included her and Alain.

Alain just chuckled as he turned to a random direction. "Well, time to go. I'll be seeing you around, Yang."

"Same to you too!" She called over at him as he turned around and gave her a two-finger salute with a smirk.

Once that was done, Alain made sure to walk for a few minutes before diving in an alleyway, making sure that no one was following him, even if it was unlikely.

'First things first, I need a forger and a Scroll.' Shifting his eyes from side to side, Alain smirked as he noticed a shop at the side of a street. A Scroll shop to be exact.

Now, while he has no lien, has other ways to get a Scroll.

Namely his Psionic powers.

Taking a step into the shop, he was greeted by a shelf full of Scrolls and a somewhat tired cashier. Glancing around the shop, he smirked inwardly as he noticed only one security camera around the room.

Meaning, it was easy.

"Welcome to Theo's Scroll Shop, how can I help you?" The cashier talked like a robot. Not that Alain could blame him, the guy probably had to keep on saying the same lines over and over again until he is tired.

"I'll be browsing around." The cashier responds with a bored nod as he leaned on his hand, staring at the window.

This in turn caused the camera to focus on him.

Alain smirked mentally as he began to walk around the shop, acting interested as he took two Scrolls and compared them.

And honestly? Most, if not all, of these Scrolls look the same appearance-wise. Maybe the software inside them is different?

Nonetheless, his plan was to steal a Scroll and steal he shall.

'This place has enough Scrolls already, one missing won't be much of a problem.' Alain thought as he took a random Scroll, stared at it for a few seconds before bringing it back to the shelf.

Walking around the corner, Alain stared at the Scrolls with a hand under his chin as his eyes glanced at the camera, which was still keeping its lens on him. 'Good.' He smirked as he put his plan into work.

The funny thing about Psi energy is that it can leave a small residue of energy on a random object. The bigger and denser the object, the more Psi energy lingers around the object.

And what happens when a person with enough control over their Psionic power interacts with an object chockfull of Psi energy?

Well many things, but the best answer is that the object can be controlled even without looking.

All it takes is good control and good imagery.

So, it came to a no surprise that the Scroll he was holding and staring at earlier slipped inside his Ghost suit in the leg area.

And thankfully, it was on his left side, where the camera can only see the right side of his body.

Sighing, as if disappointed, Alain made his way to the front of the shop and left. The cashier not even minding him as he looked at his watch and sighed.

Smirking as he went into the same alleyway, Alain focused on his Psionic energy as the Scroll he stole slipped out of his Ghost suit and into the palm of his hands.

"If they noticed one of their Scrolls gone, then let that be a lesson to them. Although I doubt that they'll notice, not with that many Scrolls anyway." He chuckled as he switched the Scroll on and waited.

While waiting, his eyes widened as he felt something shifting just near him. Looking sharply at the direction, he blinked as he was greeted by an extremely short girl, even shorter than Ruby.

She wears a white cropped wide, broad-tailed jacket with a pink interior, collar, a single gold button and large pink cuffs, brown pants with a dark belt that has a gray buckle, and an additional narrow belt under it. Under her jacket is a brown corset, curved in the middle and at the bottom, exposing her hips. She also wears a multitude of black beaded necklaces, which hang around her neck. Additionally, she also wears black and white spat styled under the knee boots alongside black gloves. She also has a parasol in hand.

But what caught his attention the most was her hair and her eyes. Her hair was half pink and half brown, with a few white streaks on the pink side of her hair. Her eyes were of the same color and on their respective sides as well.

But the thing is, as short as she is, Alain couldn't help but take a glance at her gloriously big bust, which is quite big for someone with such a small body. And for some reason, her appearance makes him think of ice cream.

Quite interesting since she is quite a treat...

And he doesn't need to look at her face to see her smug look as she stopped and stared at him.

Deciding to break the silence, Alain looked at her straight in the eyes.

"So, what do you want?"

"Nothing, I just find what you did interesting." Instead of a voice coming out of her lips, words instead formed above her. Raising a brow as he put the Scroll he stole into his hip pouch, Alain smirked as he faced her fully.

"Are you going to report me?" Quite surprisingly, she shook her head a no. "No, I was just wondering if we can hire you." That got his attention.

As of now, he has no lien on him, which wouldn't be much of a problem since he can just use his Psionic powers. But there are situations wherein his powers could cause him more trouble than help him.

"Hire me? It all depends on the job, then we'd be having a discussion." She seemed surprised that he took it quickly. But hey, a job's a job.

She shook off her shock for a brief moment before words suddenly started to from above her head.

"Name? Alan Kerrigan."

"Smuggling? Please, I can easily do that. Nothing my Semblance can't handle." Alain said with certainty and confidence.

Is it bravado? No, why does he need that when he knows he can do it? Training as a Ghost teaches one stealth, smuggling is just another way of sneaking around, but with an object.

"Drugs?" He scoffs. "It either ends up with me beating up the someone or them ending up dead." And that is true, Marines that join the army are pretty much a guaranteed narcotic, only a few are not. He couldn't remember how many times he killed a Maine just because they lost a Stimpack.

The rest of the words that the girl 'said' are just random crimes that he can do, while some he can't due to the fact that he wants to remain anonymous when he does such crimes. But it's the last part that got his attention.

"Assassination?" He smirks, causing the girl to smile giddily. "It's just another form of hunting down wild animals, nothing special." His words caused her to nod excitedly as she took a few steps forward, her mischievous eyes shining.

"Looks like I found the right job." She gave him another excited nod. "Well then, let's discuss this in another place, shall we miss...?"

She blinked as she smiled.

"Neo."

Nodding at the short girl, Alain chuckled as his hand was being pulled by Neo. And the funny part? She is so damn strong for someone so short!

"Come on! I know a place where we can discuss this a whole lot more!"

Needless to say, he got some amused looks from other people when they saw him being dragged around by a girl shorter than him.

6 minutes later

He was quite surprised that the building that just looked like a regular brick building on the outside was actually a club and a very well-known one as well.

There were no people, just a bunch of random men wearing black suits with red ties, red shades, fedoras, and equipped with either a red sword or a gun...oh, and there was even one wearing a giant bear head.

So far, very minor details on the people, the club itself looked very nice though.

But all those were ignored as his tiny, tricolored companion led him around and upstairs and into a room.

Inside the room was four individuals, two of them are seated while facing each other, and separating them both was a table containing an ashtray and two glasses of what Alain can tell is whiskey.

There was a tall bearded man that wears a black vest over a white dress shirt, a red tie, black gloves, and black dress pants. He has gray eyes, short black hair, along with a matching beard and mustache. On the other side of the room was a pair of girls, or twins rather, dressed respectively in a strapless red and white dress that compliments their figure very well.

One side to look at, however, is that the red of the twins is sporting long claws resting on her hands, while the other has bladed heels.

The both of them were clearly bodyguards.

And finally, sitting in front of the tall man was another man with orange hair that wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. His accessories included a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band. He was also smoking, making Alain's nose wrinkle, on his hand is a black cane.

The room was surrounded by silence as the four occupants in the room stared at the newcomers.

That was until the stylish man broke it.

"Neo! Glad of you to join us! What's with the kid?" Neo just shrugs as she pushes Alain in front of them. Looking down at the short girl with a raised brow, Alain just shrugged his shoulders.

"Looking to hunt down someone?" At this, everyone's eyes widened as they all looked at Neo, who was sporting a smug grin.

Eventually, the stylish man chuckled as he shook his head.

"Normally, I would question you if you're worth it, but since Neo brought you in, then I wouldn't complain." Alain just chuckled as he crossed his arms with a confident smirk, all the while he dives into the stylish man's mind. "Trust me, assassination is just another way of hunting down a wild animal. Only this time, the animal talks. Nothing much of a difference, Roman." At that Roman laughs as he held a hand over his head.

"Good! You're hired! I think we'll get along very well, even more if you can come back alive."

"That's great, but I'll need a fake ID if I'm gonna do the job, and some cash. I'll take the ID and some lien as a fee." Roman chuckled as he turned to the tall man. This caused the man to grumble something under his breath as he picked up his glass and drank it all in one go. "You came to the right place, kid. Now, got a name? And how old are you?

Mentally cheering at his luck, Alain smirked. "Alain Kerrigan. 17." For a moment, Neo raised a brow as she looked at him before shrugging her shoulders. "Hei Xiong, but you can just call me Junior." Alain had to suppress a chuckle as he looked at Junior. "Aren't you too old to be called Junior?" This in turn caused the twins to chuckle at the man as Junior turned around to glare at him.

"Aren't you too old to be talking about killing someone?" Alain just shrugged his shoulders with an impassive look. "No one is too young to kill. All it takes is the right reason, for me anyway."

Junior sighed as he stood up from his seat and took a Scroll out of his pocket. "Stay here, I need to make a call, got a Scroll?" Alain took out the Scroll that he stole and presented it to Junior. The man nodded as he took the Scroll and made his way to the door.

"Careful, I just stole that Scroll today." That caused the man to stop in his tracks as he looked at Alain and at the Scroll before shaking his head.

Once the door closed, Alain turned to Roman, who was sporting a smirk. "So, who's the target?" Roman took out a Scroll from his suit and slid it over to the table. Fast.

Reaching out to it quickly, he was awarded with a slow clap as he took in the target's appearance.

"Male. Late 20's. Brown hair. Blue eyes. Slightly tanned. Fled to Atlas." He described quickly with sharp eyes as he looked up at Roman. Said criminal was sporting a smirk. "You've done this plenty of times, haven't you?" Alain gave him a small smile. "As I said, assassination is just like hunting down a wild animal." Neo smiled as she walked beside Roman and settled standing beside him.

"Roman chuckled as he crossed his arms. "Will Triston, bastard gave us a job to steal something. We finished the job, gave it to him and he left just before he gave us the cash. Can't let that slide, my credibility's on the line here." Alain chuckled as he slid the Scroll back to Roman.

"Once word comes out that he got away scot-free, your reputation will go down. That's why you need someone to get him out of the picture. To send a message."

"You got it. So, kill him and take his money. Easy enough." Roman chuckled as he pocketed the Scroll. Alain just did a quick nod, causing Roman to sigh in annoyance. "Good, at least I can depend on you for now...unlike Junior's." One of the twins just scoffed as the white-dressed one made a comment. "Those guys are only for intimidation and numbers. A Huntsman-in-training can take them down easily, right Miltia?"

"Of course, Melanie."

"And you girls are saying you can take one?" Alain told them with a challenging smirk. Melanie's eyes narrowed as she glared at Alain sharply. "What's it to you?" She crossed her arms under her bust as she continued to glare at Alain.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering how the both of you are at fighting, considering..." He stopped at the end of the sentence as he looked at Melanie's bladed heels and at Miltia's claws.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Roman and Neo watched in interest as she noticed Melanie's legs starting to tense as if she was preparing herself to kick Alain.

"Would you like to know firsthand?" She flashed him a challenging smirk as Alain did a smirk of his own. Faster than anyone can comprehend in the room, Alain quickly covered the distance between the two of them. Melanie's eyes widened as she felt an arm wrap around her hips, causing her to be pulled against Alain's chest.

"Coming from you? Sure." His smirk widened as he grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him as he gave her a predator-like look. "I always wondered how to take on a pair of twins."

And he meant that in a fight...and in the bed...

Atlas

Combing her white hair, she opens her eyes, revealing herself to a mirror. Long white hair, piercing blue eyes, and unblemished pale white skin.

She sighs as she heard someone knocking on her door and opening.

"Miss Schnee?" She blinks as she heard a familiar voice instead of the usual one that she has to face everyday from her father.

"Klein?" She turned around and sure enough, she was greeted by the balding and overweight man that is the family butler. Klein smiled jovially as he made his way inside, accompanying him over his hands is a tray and a steaming cup.

"Tea, Miss Schnee? It wouldn't do for you if you lost your voice during practice. The competition is only a few days away."

She smiled as Klein made his way towards her and stopped in front of her. She took the cup and slowly took a sip as she gave him a grateful nod and smile.

On to the side of the room, where her bed was, was an invitation card containing the invitation for her to make a show at a singing competition.

And at the front of the invitation was a card with the name of Will Triston.

AND CUT! Wooh! Thanks for reading, I know that things have been slow, but it is really hard to manage my time when I wake up at around 12...maybe I should stop sleeping past midnight...? Nah!

Now, this chapter introduces Alain in a new light. Such as committing crimes and the like. But the thing is, all of Alain's actions will be done with a reason.

Will Triston is just a character I made on the spot. Alain needs a victim after all~!

Alain is a pervert and a bit of a playboy! And one that knows what he's doing...hopefully I can write it correctly.

Alain got introduced to Ruby! Now Weiss is next, wonder what's gonna happen?

When will Alain start the Swarm? Keep reading!

The twins...yes! They will be having a lot of screen time. Same with Neo, and maybe a bit on Roman and Junior...eh, I'll just deal with it when I cross it.

That is all, if you guys have any questions, leave a review and I'll answer them as best as I can in the next chapter.

I'll see you guys in the next chapter!

Ciao! Peace!
