Nextgen Kids: Legend of the Nine Newborn

A Tale of Ice and Fire, Part 10

Random fun fact: Wendy's current outfit (Toad clothes) makes her resemble Aladdin from Magi (blue hair included). In the previous chapter, she made a "You're a good person" speech to Romeo, and Aladdin made such a speech to Alibaba. (Also, both boys are firebenders.)

Chapter 10: A Night of Crime and Confession

Coruscant; Atlas

Atlas was a city set on a floating artificial island, using Gravity Nature Crystals to keep it stabilized. Diagonal elevators connected the island to the town below, and was the main means of travel there without a ship. Of course, when you were a member of the Schnee Family, you were given access to a more exclusive elevator, and a team of armed guards protecting it, wearing white, blue, and black tech armor with helmets.

"Hm?" The guards perked up at seeing a familiar face. "It's Lady Weiss!"

"Really? She almost never comes home, but she was here only a few days ago. Er, hello, Lady Weiss! You look... different! Have you lost weight?"

Miyuki was usually shorter than Weiss, even with high-heels, and she was an ounce more husky. Even so, she managed to wear the disguise well, and she braided her own hair into a ponytail while cutting off the Schnee Mask's ponytail. Beside her, with a polite smile, was Sebastian. "I have business with my family. I've also brought the butler from my KND sector."

"Of course. Please, go right in."

Miyuki and Sebastian stepped onto the elevator and patiently enjoyed the ride.

"When you wear someone's MMask," Majora said, "it emits a MMild hypnotic affect that deceives people into thinking you're the actual person. However, if people are already aware or if they aren't convinced by the disguise, it won't work. I would advise wearing her outfit along with it."

Miyuki put on Ciel's mask. "Sebastian, I want you to make a copy of Weiss's outfit that fits my proportions. Ah, and before I forget... during this operation, you have to obey my every command, even if I won't be wearing Ciel's mask. Just as well, you won't try to communicate our plan to anyone in any way, shape, or form."

"Ah, you crafty girl." Sebastian smirked. "Well, what kind of butler would I be to betray my master's captor?"

The elevator rose through the island and let off before the gates to Schnee Manor. The mansion was very wide with an expansive pavilion, its main landmark a fountain with a large, glowing snowflake symbol above its tip. There were two towers on either side of the manor's center. The structure overall was white with blue roofs and gray accents, columns and pine trees lining the front.

It was located in a peaceful mountain area, overlooking Atlas. There were no other buildings or clouds to obscure from the clear night sky, attributing to the mansion's aesthetic. With no one else around, Miyuki swapped Weiss's for Verglora's Mask. "...I'm not sensing any auras."

"Don't throw in the towel just yet." Verglora mimicked Ciel's voice. "The mansion's structure is obscuring my vision. We may have to go in after all." They switched to Jinta's tone, "Yeah, so let's bust in on these rich boys!"

"That is what we anticipated."

Miyuki and Sebastian approached the entrance calmly, the former knocking on the door. A butler with brown hair around a bald scalp and a matching mustache answered. He was slightly heavyset. "Oh, Miss Schnee! It's always a delight to have you visit us. Ah, and I see you've brought your friend's butler!"

"A pleasure to see you as well, Mister... pardon me, I seem to have forgotten your name~" Sebastian said. "What was it, Miss Schnee?"

"Uhh..."
