Waking up in a pile of soft flesh covering me I look down at the girl on top of me... Neo? I had a bit to drink last night after Yang left (deliberately weakening myself so I could get drunk) I vaguely remember her showing up at some point. Pushing her off me and extracting myself from the twins grasps I get out of bed and throw some jeans and a t-shirt on and head downstairs to the still destroyed club, yawning as I do.

Today is the last day before beacon starts, and tonight Ruby will be fighting Roman, getting her place in Beacon in the process. I've decided that I'm not going to bother going there, I'll meet Ruby tomorrow instead. As I go behind the empty bar, making myself a drink, I feel something... odd? Looking down at my chest I see a blade sticking out of it. Huh, that's weird.

Turning around I look into the red eyes glaring at me from behind her mask, smirking as I do. Her blade is still stuck in my back, which means she's unarmed. And I can barely even feel it, she can't hurt me with a regular weapon, her blade would have broken if I wasn't weakening myself.

"Hello Mrs Branwen, would you like a drink?" I ask snatching her mask from her face faster than she can see, tossing it away as she glares angrily at me, but I can taste the growing fear. "Is that a no? Raven? You don't mind me calling you Raven right? Or would you prefer 'Spring Maiden'?" I ask smirking as I lean against the bar. Her eyes widen in shock before she schools her expression.

"Raven is fine, I am no maiden." she says coldly, I just laugh at her.

"You're the Spring Maiden, after you killed the last one, don't bother lying I know more about you than you can imagine." I say calmly pulling her sword out of my back and tossing it back to her. "Here, you can have this scrap metal back, it's not like it would do you any good..." I mock, seeing her start to open a portal I borrow a spell from Demiurge. "[Dimension Lock]! You don't leave until I say you can leave." I say as her portal vanishes.

Immediately she stabs me in the heart, as I sigh and look down at the sword in my chest. "If it didn't work the first time why would you try again? Has anyone ever told you the definition of insanity?" I mock as I take a sip of my cocktail. As she pulls her blade out of my chest she jumps back and calls on her maiden powers and blasts me with lightning, then fire as her attacks splash against me worthlessly. "That tickles..."

"What are you?" she asks carefully as I grin at her.

"Bored. Also a God, but mostly I'm just bored, that's why I came to this world, to satisfy my boredom, besides those two brothers fucked off and left this world for the taking, so it's my playground now." I say calmly as I smirk at her.

"Why would a God bother themselves with my daughter..." she asks slowly.

"She's sexy, and I'm a pervert, also she blew up my club, so she's going to have to pay me back for that, and all she has worth my time is that sexy little body of hers. Isn't that how the world works? The Strong take from the Weak, Survival of the Fittest... Hi, I'm the Strong, it's nice to meet you Ms Weak." I mock , looking around I use Alter Reality to fully repair my club, everything flying back into place as Raven's fear grows.

"I'm going to let you leave, but if you annoy me again I'll rip Yang's heart from her chest, then go to your precious little tribe and slaughter them to the last man, You Raven, work for me now, if I call, then you come. Understand?" I ask as I grab her chin.

"What are you going to do?" she asks her voice trembling slightly.

"I'm not sure yet, I'll be fucking you, and that cute Vernal girl you pretend is the Maiden, also I'm going to enslave Salem, but I don't know what to do about this world, maybe I'll conquer it, or maybe I'll just burn it to ashes. I don't know yet." I say truthfully. "Now run along before I change my mind, I have a busy day planned." I mock as I lift Dimension Lock. She immediately flees, because that's what she truly is under her cold act, a coward. A coward who trembles at the thought of Salem, and now me as well.
