*RIP!*

A portal had opened in a  living room. Soon, Salem's faction exited the portal.

In seconds, the dimensional rift closed.

They looked around their environment, noticing it to be of the luxurious and extravagant variety.

"Where are we?" Roman asked.

"I don't know," Cinder said.

Artemis stepped to the window, noticing many towering, dazzling buildings.

Minutes would pass.

*RIP!*

A portal opened in the living room, gaining everyone's attention. Soon, Jaune stepped out of the dimensional gateway. However, he was followed by Neo before the portal closed.

The rest were surprised to see her.

Neo looked around, noticing her adoptive father, Roman. She was surprised to see him.

"Like I said Neo. I don't break my promises," Jaune said.

Neo went over to Roman. She took out a scroll.

"Are we going to be alright?"

"That remains to be seen,"  Roman said.

The other villains stared at Jaune, who was still wearing the tattered clothes from the showdown.

Artemis and Bleiss were staring more at Jaune's chiseled martial arts body.

Jaune brought his arm to his body and sniffed it. After that, he put his arm back down. Soon, he picked up a scrollpad and clicked on a menu app. Then, he handed the device to Mercury.

"You all must be hungry after that showdown," Jaune said.

"Order some dinner and dessert from the room service, while I wash up."

Jaune pointed to the flatscreen television with several consoles and games near it.

"You could play a game."

He looked around his home.

"Also, you're more than free to explore my penthouse. Just be back for dinner."

"We'll discuss business when the food is here."

Jaune walked away from the group and went to the bathroom, closing the door. Soon, the sound of the shower could be heard. 

Despite his gestures, that wasn't enough to settle most of their nerves.

Mercury went through the scrollpad, looking at the dishes.

"Huh? Lobster bisque," Mercury said, considering a seafood delight.

 Soon, Emerald took the scrollpad from him.
