Of course, me being a troll and a bastard that I am.  We are giving them a challenge...😈 *Evil laugh*

I'm going to Include Alucard and others here since they're a part of it...So I don't want to see any People complaining about "Alumiya being canon or some shit."

(😈Ya can't stop my multi-shipping ass.)

******************************************

Everyone was chilling at someone's house, on a very sunny and beautiful day. Kimmy, Claude and X.borg are upgrading their weapons, Granger is seated at the window and playing his violin, Alucard is just being lazy on the couch while fanning himself due to the hot temperature, Valir and Vale are having a convo about something 'important, Zhask is just reading a book while taking care of his pet, Dyrroth's doing the same as Zhask but, while drinking his Milk tea— stolen it from Chou, Martis is well...Sleeping on the other couch, Gusion's sharpening his knives, Alpha is upgrading beta, Miya's talking to his brother Estes by the phone, same goes to Lesley but talking to her brother Harley and Lastly Guinevere, who is practicing her magic for the first time without using his 'poor' brother as a Lab Rat.

The door suddenly opened and in comes 5 people, while 2 are holding on to something.

"Hey, Kimmy...Sorry to bother you with 4 more companies, I hope you don't mind?" Ruby asked while placing down a cooler alongside another person, who did the same. The ones who are asleep woke up while the others already had their attention on her.

"Ah...It's alright Rubs, The more the merrier right?" Kimmy assured her while placing a smile, as the other blonde gave a big smile in return. The Tomboy could hear a bunch of growls on her...Though, her only reaction is to stick out her tongue to taunt them, causing them to grit their teeth in annoyance.

"Anyway guys, I made us some ice cream for us to cool off." Ruby interrupted, so now the attention's back on her. She took out a bunch of Ice cream cups with plastic spoons then one by one gave it to them, as they greatly took it. Guinevere was the last one to receive the treat.

"Aww~ Thank you, Ruby! I love you!" Guinevere greatly took it and even gave her a sudden hug making Ruby shock at first, but returned the gesture. Guinevere took noticed of some people's jealousy glares in front of her that she gave them all the middle finger while mouthing 'She's Mine', making them angrier. Dyrroth even gave her a middle finger in return.

Once they depart from the hug cause someone had to separate them.

"Big Sis Ruby! I want to go to the Restroom." Alice requested as she tugged into Ruby's red skirt. Ruby's attention was fully on Alice now, she then excused themselves with Kimmy's permission and now they left. Once the door was fully closed...A cough interrupted their secret glaring contest.

"*Cough* I finally understood Kagura's intentions, I didn't know a bunch of people liked the little gem." Chou started to fake coughs with Popol and Lylia following—Kuppa is sleeping on the floor since he's a tired little wolf.

Everyone glared at them that the 3 playfully raised their hands in defeat.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! No need to turn into Psychopaths, since we already knew what's going on...Why don't we propose a challenge?" Chou requested making them have blank faces, obviously not into it.

"Winner gets to have Ruby for a month and no interruptions. We'll even set up a date place." Lylia chimed in, now they're interested.

"So what do we have to do?" Claude asked, interested in the proposal. Dexter's asleep on his table, which even has its bed.

"All you have to do...Is Kiss Miss Ruby on the lips, if you have succeeded then congrats. If two or more succeeded, then it's first come first serve on the Date place we prepared.Deal?" Lylia explained. She even showed them tickets at some Romantic places, though they wondered how did they get those kinds of tickets, aren't they broke? Pushing those questions away, they accepted the challenge.

"Good,Good...Though this is a secret. Don't let Miss Ruby know about this competition or it will result as a disqualification. You only have one chance too,Starting Tomorrow. We will also spectate on your date,if its a Fail or not." Popol added while he and Lylia began to giggle. They nodded their heads in agreement and just in time, for Ruby and Alice to arrive.

'Let the challenge begin.'

***Meanwhile***

"They accepted the challenge." A voice reported through the phone.

"See to it that they fail cause where's the fun in that~?" The person on the phone said,They both giggled and imagined their failed attempts for the challenge.

"Will do Ms.Kagura."

"Thank you Harith."

#First Challenger#

It is the next day and the start of the challenge,they only have one shot on this. They're confident on doing this that they even prepared their dating events. For our first challenger,Its dating place is at a Cliche Cafe with the best treats...Just a simple date and the right opportunity.

"Thank you so much for bringing me into this Cafe Alucard! I didn't know they had a new one opened,the desserts here are delicious." Ruby cheered while stuffing her face with Strawberry and Chocolate flavoured Crepes, Alucard is in 'aww' at her cute face. Urging to pinch her chubby cheeks.

"What is it?" Ruby asked. He gave a chuckle and just leans infront of her,Ruby blushed more when he placed his hand on her cheek—pinching it lightly.

"This." Was the only thing he said,bringing his face closer to hers. Their gazes meet as their lips are only an inch close..

*Splat!*

"HI RUBY! CAN I HAVE SOME CREPE?!" A loud and cheerful voice said, that other customers turned their attention to the loudmouth. Though apologized, so now they're minding their businesses.

"A-Akai...I didn't notice you here. Umm...Sure, I kinda bought another one and was going to give it to you. But since you're here..Take it...Also, Your elbow...Is kinda, on top of Alucard's head." Ruby said while looking at Alucard's position, making her worry.

"What? Oh! Oh! Sorry man Just got too excited. Also...Thanks, Ruby." Akai apologized to Alucard while taking his leave with the Crepe Ruby gave.

"Hey...Alucard? Are you alright?" Ruby asked in worry as Alucard still haven't moved.

'THAT DAMN PANDA'S DEAD!' Alucard took a reminder of this and saving it in his hard drive mind.

"It's nothing..." Alucard re-assured with a smile, Ruby gave him a handkerchief since his face was slammed into the cake he was having. The male blonde accepted it and 'thank' her, though his attention was on the other way that made him curse under his breath.

On the window, He saw Lylia, Chou and Popol holding out a sign that was written as 'Failed, Better Luck Next time.'

'Smart Fuckers.'

#Alucard: Failed#

***Bonus***

"Thanks for the help Akai," Harley said while giving Akai his reward.

"No problem, I even had an extra crepe from Ruby. All in good." Akai then left while waving goodbye.

"Ms.Kagura...Alucard failed on his attempt, We will deliver the video." Harith reported.

"Good...Good...Now, Unto the next one."

#Second Challenger#

For the second challenger, The date is placed on a kid's playground with a little help of a little companion.

"Oh! Big Sis Ruby! Big Bro X.borg! I want to go to the Swings!" Ailee happily requested while jumping up and down, Ruby is in 'aww' and it was enough for her to Not say 'No'. X.borg followed them and even joined in their bonding.

'This might've been the wisest decision I've thought of, I'm such a genius.' X.borg said to himself.

***Flashback***

"Hey, Brat..." X.borg approached a certain little bluenette who is at her room, colouring a picture of what he presumed is Ruby...Cause of the drawing of a girl wearing a red cloak and holding a big-ass scythe.

"Yes...Big Bro?" The little girl asked, not even looking him in the eye as she's busy with her colouring.

"Want to join me?" X.borg asked with a smile, that's pretty scary but Ailee became used to it. Thanks to Ruby for giving her the courage to be not be scared easily.

"Join for what?" Ailee tilted her head in confusion at his request.

'This is unusual of him? He's usually stuck in his room, mostly making a plan on destroying Eruditio.' Ailee gave a second thought and immediately became very wary of it.

"Want to join me and your Big Sis Ruby at the Park? I can even treat you both." Ailee was suddenly surprised by it but eventually connected the dots fast, making her grin at him.

"Are you taking Big Sis on a Date~? It is unusual of you to go to other places~ but it can't be helped...SINCE YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON BIG SIS RU—— Hmmph!" X.borg quickly covered her mouth before she could even finish her sentence, even blushing red at it.

"Shhh..Don't be so loud! Geez, you brats are too hype when it comes to these kinds of things. Anyways, will you help me?" Ailee still has the grin on her face, even if X.borg covered her mouth—sensing the smirk at him. She eventually 'agreed', in one condition too...

X.borg should join her for a tea party with her friends, wearing a Tutu. He did not like that but had to agree.

***Flashback Ends***

"Big Sis! Big Bro! I want to try on the monkey bars! Let's go!" Ailee requested while getting off the swing then immediately ran to the Monkey-bars, The two laughed and followed her.

The little girl placed her hands on one of the bars with Ruby and X.borg guiding her so she won't fall.

"Excuse me?" A voice called out to them, The 3 then placed their attention on the owner of the voice.

"Yes...Is there something wrong? Or do you need something?" Ruby asked. The person just smiled while eyeing them.

"I wanted to ask if you two are a couple? Is that your child? Not that I'm judging but you two look so cute together~ But your so young, are you two perhaps a teen couple?" An old lady asked with a smile, The two made eye contact and blushed then looked away.

Before Ruby could protest, Ailee safely landed on the ground as her eyes shine and grabbed both Ruby and X.borg's hands.

"Yup! This is my mom and my Dad! It's been a while since we bonded cause dad's always busy working so he could provide for us while mom takes care of me. I love them so much and they love me too!" The old lady smiled and congratulate them, even giving them a 'good luck charm' and left.

"A-Ailee?!"

"Oi!, Brat, The frick was that?"

The little bluenette didn't say anything but just giggled and ran to one of the slides.

Both of them looked at each other, meeting their gazes and in slow motion—making it feel like it was their only world. X.borg gulped down and placed his hands on her shoulders, he hesitated for a while but internally gave himself some encouragement.

'Here goes nothing...It's now or never.'

"R-ruby..."

"Y-yes?"

Both of them blushed but their lips inching forward...It finally happening...

*SMACK!*

Till something hit him on the head.

"X-X.borg?! Are you alright?!" Ruby asked in worry, he didn't say anything and was searching for anyone who interrupted their moment, even thinking that someone must've to sabotage it. Glaring at everyone and probably scaring some kids and parents on his range.

"X.borg? Are you alright?" Ruby asked again. X.borg clicked his tongue before his attention was back to Ruby, his gaze softened up and instead, patted her on the head.

"Let's just forget about this...The brat is probably waiting for us. Who knows what kind of creeps and kidnappers are here." X.borg suggested while rubbing the back of his head, Ruby agreed and grabbed his hand to go to Alice.

In the corner of X.borg's eye, he could see Lylia, Chou and Popol standing behind a tree...holding out a sign that says 'Failed, better luck next time.

'Fuck!'

#X.Borg: Failed#

***Bonus:***

"Aren't you worried that X.borg might kill you?" Harith asked Ailee as both of them are hiding in the slide.

"Nope...Since he doesn't suspect me for anything, except when I steal his cookies." The little girl giggled.

"Though it was a pleasure doing business Ailee." And with that Harith left, leaving Alice to show up to bond with her 'Mom' and 'Dad'.

"MOM! DAD!" Ailee called out with a grin while hiding a slingshot in her dress.

———————————

#3rd Challenger#

For the third challenger, the dating place is set at their own home. A servant is carrying a tray of tea and cakes to a Gazebo at the center of a pond, to where two ladies are having tea. After delivering it, the servant excused himself and left with a bow..leaving the two to continue on their chat.

"The Gazebo you had it installed is very beautiful, it is a great addition for the pond. You're very creative Guinevere." Ruby complimented the talented daughter of the Baroques, making her ego boost.

"Of course darling~ I was born with talent!" Both of them laughed while eating their slice of cake.

"So how's your brother doing?" Ruby asked while stuffing her mouth with a piece of cake.

"Ah...He's doing well, especially when his mind is on cloud nine on a certain Swan Princess. Wanna know something? He can't stop moaning her name, especially when he's asleep. It's so creepy that I thought there was a ghost chanting some voodoo in our home." Ruby couldn't help but laugh as she could imagine it well.

They continued to talk and chat about their fighting stances plus their teamwork, Guinevere even proposed that they should team up when it's their time for Moonton's battlefield. Ruby agreed to the proposal that made the Auburn female feel lucky. That's when the Baroque was finally determined to finish the Challenge.

'This is it! Now's the time to win this challenge and rub it on the loser's faces, especially Dyrroth's.' Guinevere chuckled at herself as she imagined their reaction once they knew about her success. She then approached Ruby and grabbed both of her hands.

"Ruby..." Guinevere called out her name with great confidence even though she's blushing little when Ruby responded to her, her heart was racing as she looked at her luscious cherry pink lips. Just as their faces went closer...Lips almost touching...

*Splash!*

A big wave of water hit Guinevere directly behind her, leaving a large splash. Ruby wasn't hit though but had to witness it.

"AHHHHHHHHH! SO COLD!" Guinevere screamed and quickly ran inside her house. Ruby was stunned but immediately followed Guinevere inside. While Guinevere was running to her room to change her clothes, she saw Lylia on one of the windows—showing her that she had failed. The Auburn hair female wanted to punch the wall cause she knew that someone must've sabotaged it.

'WHOEVER WAS THAT INSOLENT MONGREL! SHALL PAY THE PRICE!' She took a mental note for that and was not going to forget it easily. Ruby asked if something happened only for Guinevere to reassure her that it's fine and was just going to change her outfit.

#Guinevere: Failed#

***Bonus:***

"Thanks, Kadita, Here's your reward." Harith gave Kadita something which the water mage accepted then left to the waters.

"Harith...Let's go. My sister is next." Harley said before disappearing. The male Leonin gave one last look at the Baroque's house and left.

———————————

#4th Challenger#

The Fourth challenger's date setting is one of the amusement parks that's recently built on Moniyan. Lesley invited Ruby as it is their first time to go to Amusement parks, they even brought Harley along too. Who is grumbling to himself on why is he here?

***Flashback***

"You want me to what now?" Harley asked her big sister while practicing his magic.

"Please, Harley! Just this once! I just wanted someone to encourage me on this place plus, you went in one right? So please!" Lesley begged while kneeling, it honestly made Harley cringe when his sister is doing this.

"Umm...What if I say no?" Harley asked, the cringe inside of him was replaced with a smirk.

"I'll tell Lylia that you kissed Harley," Lesley said with a tone of seriousness, though inside she's smirking like an idiot— a beautiful one too.

"H-Hey! That was an accident! Plus, She's not my type! I'd rather kiss Popol." Harley went back to cringe at the mention of Lylia's name.

"You didn't deny it though~ The Son of Vance~Already has a crush on a girl that's going to be soon-to-be-Queen~! Our Harley's all grown-up!" Lesley teased that she dramatically dropped down the floor and clutching on her chest.

"Fine! I'll go, Only if you don't tell Lylia about this. She's going to nag me a lot, we're not even dating...What the hell?!" Harley exclaimed.

"Yet~" Lesley finished while quickly running out of his brother's room just as he was about to cast his magic on her.

***Flashback ends***

"So this is an amusement park? It's so pretty and lively!" Ruby exclaimed, her eye shined while spinning around. Though her excitement is nothing compared to what Lesley was feeling, as she watched the gem shine on its light, like the sun.

"Sis..Don't stare at Ms.Ruby like that, especially if you're already drooling at the sight of her," Harley whispered enough for her sister to hear, causing Lesley to wake up and check if she did drool—She did. Feeling embarrassed, she quickly wiped the drool off her.

"You're Hopeless Sis if you keep this up." Harley blankly said that Lesley had to 'shush' him up.

"Lesley! Harley! Let's try on this horror train!" Ruby exclaimed in joy while pointing at the Horror section, Lesley was cool of it but Harley turned pale.

"Sure...Though I don't think Harley's available. He's—"

"I'll go! It looks like fun! I'm a man! A man!" Harley yelled while showing his 'Man' face to the two females, obviously not impressed.

"We can just try out other rides if you are scared to try this Harley, I understand," Ruby said while patting his head.

"I'm fine, I'm fine...What's so scary about ghosts? When society is scarier since its reality and these are just fictions and figments of imaginations." Harley gave a prideful smile, boosting his ego and confidence. The two sighed and went to the Horror train.

They took their seats, with Lesley on the left, Harley on the middle and Ruby on Harley's right. They waited for other passengers to join before starting the ride, Lesley and Ruby told Harley that if he's scared—he can just express it or hold onto their arms for comfort, to which he declines while putting up a brave face. They didn't say much and were prepared for Harley's screams to come out. The ride is about to start and while it started slow, Harley quickly gripped Ruby's sleeve. The maiden took noticed of this and decided to let him.

The ride then went from slow to normal, it was now time for the 'monsters' to come out. There were some hand props, Fake cobwebs...etc. While Lesley and Ruby were having fun, Harley suddenly felt ill...he wanted to get out of the ride but decided to stay for the sake of giving his sister the time of her life with her crush.

***Timeskip***

After the ride, Harley already fell asleep on Ruby's shoulders. Not wanting to disturb the sleeping beauty, Ruby carried Harley off as Lesley watched in 'aww' at her little brother's cute sleeping face.

"Should we wake him up?" Ruby asked while carrying Harley bridal style.

"No...Let's give him some time to relax his mind, Let's go get something to eat instead," Lesley recommended, Ruby nodded her head and continued to carry Harley. Lesley should be the one to carry him but just as she was about to place him in her arms—He squirmed, obviously feeling uncomfortable and not even wanting to get off the person's grasps. So..Ruby had to be the one to take responsibility for it.

They arrived at the food court with Lesley treating them, Ruby took a seat and gently placed the Sleeping beauty beside her. While waiting for Lesley for the food, Ruby was in 'aww' at Harley that she started to touch his fluffy hair.

"Sometimes your annoying...though I would say, Annoyingly cute," Ruby said in a low voice, she began to hum a song while continuing to stroke his hair. She saw him smile but one thing that made her smile, even more, is when he voiced out something in his sleep.

"Mom..."

"Aww...How cute." Ruby commented, just in time for too for Lesley to arrive.

"He's still asleep? He is Sleeping Beauty."  Lesley jokes, making both of them laugh a little. They soon stopped as they saw Harley opening his eyes.

"Hey, Sleeping Beauty~ Did you have a good sleep~?" Lesley teased while placing his food in front of him.

"Shut up...I just had a nice dream till I heard your snickers." Harley groaned while rubbing his eyes, the two apologized by treating him more food.

After eating at the food court, they tried out other rides. The 3 enjoyed themselves while playing games and winning prizes. That's when Lesley decided to make her move, while Harley went back to sleep—this time in her arms.

She called out her name while inching her face close to hers, Ruby blushed as she stayed still.

"BBLARGH!"

"H-HARLEY!!" Ruby exclaimed while Lesley stayed still, obviously shocked at the sudden move of what her brother did—who pretty much vomited on her.

"I think he ate too many sweets...Here, I brought us an extra shirt. Just in case we needed to change." Ruby held out plastic with some contents inside of her bag and gave it to Lesley, who gently placed her brother down and greatly took it. Once Lesley left, Ruby's concern is now on Harley.

"I told you to reserve those sweets at home." Ruby scolded him a little while wiping some of the vomit on his face, she even got another plastic on her bag—getting an extra shirt.

"Good thing I brought us some extra clothes."

While Ruby is busy treating Harley, they couldn't hear the scream of Lesley in the restroom. Especially when Lylia showed her a sign that she failed her task.

#Lesley: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Bro. Did you vomited on your sister?! Gross but good work, Hope that she doesn't shoot you dead." Harith laughed a little making Harley scoff.

"Meh...That's what she gets for blackmailing me. Who's next?"

"...Oh.. it's Miya's turn."

——————————————

#Fifth Challenger#

For the Fifth Challenger, The Date setting is the same as what Guinevere set.

"Hey Miya, I'll be going to the restroom. I'll be back." Ruby then excused herself as she went outside of Miya's room. The Elf woman said 'ok', but once she's alone...she squealed and jumped on the bed, grabbing one of the pillows—using it to muffle her screams.

"I can't believe I had the guts to ask her out! Aaahh! She's so cute! Yiiiieeee!" Excitement rushed through her veins that she's now rolling on her bed. That's when the door opened to reveal someone...

"Hey Miya!"

"Nana? What are you doing here?" Miya asked as she looked at her dearest friend, more like a sister.

"Sorry to bother you, But...I just wanted to visit you. Harley became sick while Harith's with The Lightborn squad, Alice is occupied—same goes for the others, can I crash here for a while cause I'm bored, Pretty Please~?" Nana said while begging the female elf. Miya was flustered at how cute Nana is, that she imagined Ruby for a moment. She eventually agreed to it, thinking that 'she won't interfere with her challenge'.

Ruby arrived and was surprised to see Nana, who had the same reaction as hers. Miya gave a brief explanation, so now...It is the 3 of them having fun. Eventually, Nana was distracted by reading a storybook about her kind. Without Nana looking, Miya got the chance to finish the challenge...

*Poof!*

"AH! MOLINA!" Nana screamed while Ruby was shocked to see Molina in front of her instead of Miya, as their lips were so close to touching each other. Miya was back to her body after Molina's effect, Nana apologized cause Molina acted up when she read about Leonin's powers. The elf forgave her as Ruby said it's fine then asked Miya if she could join Nana to read the book—The elf accepted it and Now Ruby and Nana are happily reading the book.

Miya's gaze turned on her window, she was shocked to see Chou, Popol and Lylia—since it is like the 5th floor of the castle. She almost screamed when she saw the sign saying 'Failed', needless to say...She sulked on her bed for the whole hour.

#Miya: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Good job Nana," Harith said while rubbing Nana's head, making her giggle and blush.

"Great work Nana, I like the face of that elf made. By the way, did you record the whole incident Harith?" Harley asked while petting Nana's head.

"Yup...Now we just need to give it to Ms.Kagura." And with that, The 3 left.

———————————

#6th Challenger#

"That's so cool Kimmy!" Ruby complimented the Tomboy, who showed her one of her 'cool' inventions. For the sixth challenger's date setting, same as Miya and Guinevere...it had to be in their own home—through more like a basement. There at the underground house of Kimmy and the place where she stored her successful inventions.

"I appreciate your Compliments Little Gem, I also made this." Kimmy showed Ruby a small pocketknife, which includes its own house to place it—so it won't get lost easily. The blade is Crimson coloured, while the handle is black though with a Ruby gem on the bottom, center of the handle.

"Not only is it beautiful and dangerous, but it can be also used as a gun..watch." Kimmy demonstrated it by shooting one of the empty cans in front of her, pressing the ruby gem at the bottom part of the handle—shooting the can that was sent flying. She then went to get the can and showed Ruby the results. The can have a tiny hole through its strong enough to enter someone's skin, there was even a little crack on the sides. Ruby's eye shined and gave more praises to the 'genius inventor', boosting her pride even more.

"Though...I made these for you. So here, you can have them." Kimmy gave the crimson knife with a hidden gun to Ruby. The little gem protested but Kimmy insists since it will be useful for her combats—just in case too if she ever lost her scythe. So..Ruby finally accepted it.

Seeing Ruby smile as she looked at the knife on her hands made Kimmy's heart skip a beat, only to remember about the challenge. She was confident that she'll win, cupping Ruby's cheek and calling out her name..she leaned in to kiss her.

*BOOM!*

Their heads turned to see black smoke that surrounded them. Kimmy immediately grabbed the extinguisher, while Ruby climbed up the ladders...opening the door to let the smoke out, even running to open all the windows around Kimmy's house.

Kimmy finally got the fire out, she checked that one of her inventions had self-destructed..which was odd since she didn't even command them. She then went out of her basement to check on Ruby, as she got out of her basement—a sound of a whistle caught her attention. Kimmy turned to see Chou, Lylia and Popol on her window—showing a sign that told her that sue failed.

Kimmy went back to her basement and closed it, that's when a scream is heard. While some broken things were displayed, So the 3 looked at each other awkwardly and left.

#Kimmy: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Oh, shit..." Harith said as he and Harley are hiding on one of Kimmy's large inventions. They heard her scream of anger since her chance of kissing Ruby was sabotaged, the two gulped as they heard a lot of breaking and cursing.

Though the question is...

'How are they going to escape?'

—————————————

#7th Challenger#

"This is Vale's place right?" Ruby asked to herself while double-checking the address on the paper, that's on her hands. She felt a little anxious since Vale's like Royalty and they didn't interact much, so it felt awkward to her. Unbeknown, she approached Vale's place and standing between the gates are 2 guards.

She greeted first and explaining that Vale has invited her to his place, even showing to them the paper on her hands—when one of the guards asked about it. The guards immediately bowed to her and apologized for their rude manners cause Vale was expecting her and told them that when she arrives, they should just let her in and treat her kindly. Ruby felt awkward and told them that 'it was ok, that's when another person arrived.

"Are you Ms.Ruby?" A male asked with a serious voice, making Ruby more awkward to herself.

"Y-yes...Umm...Vale invited me here." She answered while trying to get the guards to stand up since it wasn't needed and they were just being cautious on their work.

"Oh! How grand! Come, The Majesty is expecting of your arrival. Guards, I'll take it from here." The male said, making the guards stand up.

"Of course, Sir An-huwan." The guards said while returning back to their post. The said man named An-huwan gestured for Ruby to come.

"I shall escort you to our Highness, Ms. Ruby. The prince is right, you are a cute one. Sorry if I made it weird, I just wanted to compliment you." An-huwan started as they walked, Ruby said that 'it's fine as she followed the male behind. The maiden's eye shined as she looked around the inside of Vale's castle, she's even debating on who's castle is the best...though she might choose Guinevere's, she might only.

As they arrived, The doors opened and seated at the throne is Vale. An-huwan and Ruby approached him and bowed down.

"Your Highness, Ms. Ruby has arrived," An-huwan said while bowing, Ruby didn't say anything but continued to bow.

"Thank you An-huwan, You may take your leave and Ruby..you can raise your head now." The two followed Vale's orders, though as Ruby raised her head...The male is already in front of her, almost making her jump. They eventually chatted as Vale led her somewhere in his castle, saying that he prepared something for her arrival. At his backyard, there was a warm celebration greeting of his people to her. They even escorted her and Vale to their 'best' seats, making them look like a Royalty couple—which is weird to Ruby since she's just a commoner and they're not married...Yet.

Additionally, a Performance was held..making the maiden's eyeshine, she was so mesmerized by it that, she didn't even notice the male beside her—being mesmerized by her. Vale kept glancing at her expression making him smile, of course, he didn't forget about the challenge. He just wanted Ruby to have some fun, plus...He's a patient man, waiting to strike at the right moment.

Time skip, after the performance and eating the food. Vale called for Ruby to follow him, which Ruby didn't hesitate as she became comfortable with him. They soon arrived at a secret garden that he secretly made. After going inside, Ruby was ecstatic and loved it...making Vale's heart beat faster than it was before. Finally, he controlled himself and got the guts to do it..walking in front of her and taking her hands, leaning his face close to her.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Only for the Male to scream aloud and run away, as a bunch of birds started to attack him. Ruby was left confused but immediately came for Vale's aid to remove the bird, they left the secret garden as the mage excused himself to go to the bathroom as he felt one of the birds pooped on him. Finally done cleaning himself up, the 3 spectators were at his window—showing that he failed. So..Vale had to sulk before presenting himself to Ruby.

#Vale: Failed#

***Bonus***

"Thank you so much for Helping us Ms.Pharsa." Harith 'thanked' the blind mage, who's stroking her feathered friend on her arm.

"It was my pleasure Little Leonin, I don't allow people to just kiss my Daughter. Since that will be all, I shall take my leave." She then turned into a bird and flew away, leaving Harith to call Ms.Kagura the schemer.

————————————

#8th challenger#

The eighth competitor is just a simple hangout at the hills. 2 people setting up a picnic, mats are placed, Food were neatly affixed and one's heart is beating so fast.

"We should invite the others next time, it would be so much fun. Don't you think?" Ruby suggested while bringing out a plate of sandwich and placing it on the mat.

"That would be nice, though I prefer to keep it a secret. Just the two of us, plus..this is the place where I keep calm." Valir explained, gently placing 2 teacups on the side of the mat. A little bit of lie in his words...Yes, The place is secret that only him knows—of course, he'll only show it to Ruby and ain't going to expose it for others. Just him and Ruby alone.

They began to have a nice conversation, greatly knowing each other more. Though he cannot deny the way he's looking at Ruby's cherry lips and of course...Time to finish the challenge as he began his move.

"VALIR! YOU HERE!" A loud voice interrupted them, they turned their heads to face the owner of it.

Lord and behold, Valir's teacher is already approaching them. The fire mage cursed under him breathe as his expression turned 180°, Ruby on the other hand is shocked to see Gord. She doesn't know much about him but through Valir's words and her encounters with Pharsa.

Gord begun to nag to Valir about the same old-same old, give me your Arcane. Though, it was quickly interrupted when Valir used his magic and started to attack Gord. Flames started to block his teacher, giving enough time for Valir to grab Ruby and escape.

He also noticed that the 3 spectators were holding a sign that he failed. Guess his secret place isn't secret anymore, he'll have to find another one.

#Valir: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"S-s-so how was it, Professor Gord?" Harith asked, scared at how intimidating Gord is.

"*Sigh* This is enough, though I'm happy Valir's having the time of his life." Despite having a serious look on his face, Harith couldn't deny that he saw his eyes getting a little teary.

"S-sir Gord? Are you crying?" Ok...Now the leonin is not hallucinating when Gord's eyes started to pour. Gord immediately covered his face and ran away while shouting 'I'm not crying, Just proud.'

Harith cringed at himself as this was the first time seeing Gord all soft. But didn't miss an opportunity to take a photo of it.

#Ninth Challenger#

"Please watch your step Mi'Lady." An Abyssal servant said while continuing to hold her hand as she stepped into the floating rocks. Ruby followed as they safely went to the Abyssal Castle, where Dyrroth invited her.

They got easy access to the guards who are guarding the gate, while walking Ruby started to wander around. She was baffled at how this place is cool and could smell danger around, making her feel the adrenaline rush through her veins. They soon arrived at the throne room as the servant opened the door, they were greeted by the Prince—sitting on his throne with a smirk on his face.

The prince soon ordered everyone from the throne room to leave but him and Ruby. With no one around but them, Dyrroth ordered Ruby to come near which the maiden followed. As Ruby was near in front of him, he immediately hugged her and started to give her butterfly kisses...For the last kiss...In slow motion...

*BANG AND SMACK!*

"DYRROTH! ALICE IS CALLING FOR YOU ABOUT OUR GUEST! ALSO, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WE HAD A GUEST!" Selena barged into the room while carrying Lunox like a sac, she even threw something at Dyrroth, the Abyssal prince glared at Selena who interrupted them and hit him. He was even more annoyed when she began to have a smug face.

"Ugh! Fine woman.." He had an annoyed look on his face but softened up when his gaze are upon Ruby's.

"Let's go to Alice then, also...Can you keep a secret on the butterfly kisses I gave?" Dyrroth whispered the last, only for her to hear. Ruby nodded her head and followed Dyrroth.

Just they were about to leave the throne room, Dyrroth looked back at Selena and Lunox. Unexpectedly, Lunox was holding a mirror and showed the 3 spectators—holding a sign that says failed. His gaze was at Selena's and started to let his mind get violent and imagining on killing the Dark Elf in the most brutal way possible.

#Dyrroth: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Selena, you can put me down now," Lunox said while started to wiggle out of the Dark Elf's grasp.

"Nah..This is more accurate, plus...It's way faster, Let's go." And with that Selena continued to have Lunox on her shoulders as they followed Ruby and Dyrroth to meet with Alice.

Oh, Selena will be delighted to cock-block Dyrroth's chances to 'woo' Ruby.

#10th Challenger#

"Now let's start with the basics when using short swords." Gusion gave a simple demonstration of his swords, as Ruby was ecstatic that she started to praise him. Making his ego boost through the roof.

"That's so cool...You're very awesome Gusion." Ruby praised while clapping her hands making the Paxley blush, putting up a prideful face as his heart started to beat rapidly.

"O-Of course...I am the best. My swordsmanship is almost as good looking as I am." Gusion did some swift moves as Ruby watched in amazement.

While dashing through other places and throwing his swords with great accuracy, he immediately went behind Ruby..going close to her ear and saying 'boo' in a seductive way. Ruby then blushed as she looked behind her, covering her ear...only to find him gone.

"Boo~" Another one making Ruby turn to find him gone again.

"BOO!" Gusion exclaimed and grabbed her hips, making Ruby squeak in surprise. As Gusion heard this, he was stun at how cute that was.

'Holy Fuck...' He immediately got away to troll her again, replacing it with a laugh.

Ruby whined cause of what Gusion did and was about to confront him on to see the Paxley gone again, she got annoyed and started to call out to him. The Paxley didn't respond, so Ruby had to stand to track him down.

"Boo~" Ruby gasp as his hot breath trickled on her ear, her hand was suddenly grabbed and now she was face to face with Gusion. She couldn't react anymore, even while he started to lean in close to her.

*SPLAT!*

"G-Gusion!" Ruby exclaimed as she saw the Paxley getting hit behind—by a garbage bag?!

"Uh...Gusion, I think you need to go wash that." Ruby suggested while removing a rotten banana that's on his shoulder, even had to cover her nose at the stench. The Paxley didn't say anything but his demeanour change.

"I'll be back Gem." Was the only thing he said then disappeared, leaving Ruby to hear him screaming bloody murder at someone who threw him the garbage. She knew that someone threw it but the question is, who did it?

#Gusion: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Oh shit, Gusion's on a rampage," Popol said while running alongside Harith and Harley.

2 people emerged as they followed the 3 on the run.

"So did you 2 showed him the sign?" Popol asked, Lylia and Chou gave a thumbs up. They begun to laugh but soon stopped when a sword was thrown, almost hitting them. Behind them, they saw a familiar brunette hair—not wasting any time, Chou grabbed the 4 and started to bolt away.

"Speed defines the winner." Chou's famous last words.

#11th Challenger#

[Btw...Zhura is a made-up character I made for the plot]

"Lady Zhura, Where exactly is this place? And why do I have to wear this?" Ruby asked as she's seated on a chair, in front of a mirror as the maiden began to do her make-up.

"Well, My dearest Gem and Future daughter-in-law~ My dear brother told us to prepare for your arrival, requesting me to suit you into something..suited to his taste," Zhura answered while having a smug face, placing some lip gloss on her lips.

"And it's done, Darling Gem! You are so cute! My brother did a fantastic choice in women." Ruby blushed at the little compliment as she looked at herself again in the mirror...For the first time, she agreed on herself that she's beautiful.

"Thank you Lady Zhura."

"Please call me Sister-in-law!"

"E-Eh?! But Martis and I aren't married?"

"Yet~"

"LADY ZHURA!" The woman just laughed at Ruby's cute shock expression, though apologized and with that as they left to see Martis.

—————🤡——————

"Your Grace, Lady Zhura and Lady Ruby are on their way." A maid reported, Martis had his usual cold expression but deep down—The happiness inside is uncontrollable.

"Ok, The preparations are done. So I wanted you all to leave and make sure that no one is around." The maid bowed and left, following Martis' orders. Everyone left, as the Ashura King took a seat and waited for his sister and most importantly, for Ruby's arrival.

He didn't wait long, as he heard his sister call out to him. In which, He almost fell on his seat when he saw Ruby. Her attire consist of a pure base white colour dress with some red and yellow floral designs—like a fire theme, the colours of her heels are gold, She wore some simple gold accessories—courtesy of Martis' choosing, making him applaud himself for that.

As Lady Zhura left, it was just both of them in the night at the garden. Martis stood up and gestured the lady to her seat, he even served her food before going back to his seat to serve himself. The dinner was quiet and peaceful as creatures in the wild began to show, with the owls waking up, Cicadas soothing harmony, the fireflies glowing in the dark, frogs croaking and so much more. Neither Martis and Ruby talked as they were both shy about communicating first, making it a little bit awkward.

'What should I do? I'm making fool out of myself.' Ruby said to herself as she continued to eat.

'What should I do? I don't even know a topic to talk about?' Martis started to internally lose control as this tension is killing him, slowly.

———Meanwhile———

Behind a bush, we could see a person..clearly spying on them. Clenching their fist as veins started to pop onto their head, though as it became a little long with no conversation...the person started to move their fist in an up and down motion—showing that the person is annoyed and clearly, not liking the results.

"Dear Brother is making a fool at himself! What is he, a statue? Can't he just compliment my Sister-in-law?" Lady Zhura, the one who's spying on them. She had a not-so-pleasant smile as she continued to move her fist in an up and down motion faster now, clearly itching to smack Martis on the head.

———Back to Marby——

They continued to not communicate with each other until the end of dinner, Martis called on his servants to clean and escort them to change.

After both finished changing, being Martis the first one though. He decided to escort Ruby out of his home, they still didn't talk after that.

"Uhh...Thank you Martis for the dinner, compliments to the people who set the preparation and food. Also..compliments to you for setting this, it's very beautiful and I'd like to send my regards to Lady Zhura for helping me with my outfit and make-up." Martis gave a little blush then gave a shy nod.

"Thank you for accepting my request Ruby, we might have not to Communicate but at least...We some time by ourselves...Be safe on your way back home." Ruby blushed but soon recovered as she waved goodbye then walked away. Martis stood still but before he could turn around, he could hear footsteps going close to him.

*SMACK!*

"The hell was all that Martis?!" Zhura exclaimed angrily as she hit the King on the head.

"I—Uh—Panicked?" He got another hit on the head.

"PANICKED?! ALL YOU NEEDED TO DO IS COMMUNICATE TO HER! AT LEAST GIVE HER A COMPLIMENT OR SOMETHING! WHAT ARE YOU,A STATUE?!" Her sister started to nag more while continued to hit Martis.

#Martis: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"I guess,We didn't have to sabotage it?" Harith said as he continued to watch the Lady Shura beating Martis,his companions nodded their heads in agreement. Now, They're fully scared of Lady Shura now.

———Meanwhile———

Walking through the Dark Forest,A painful scream interrupted the peaceful night. It continued to run as fast as it could,especially when someone who's canines are as sharp than any wolves started to laugh.

"I love the game to chasing prey~" After hearing that in a distance,the wolf didn't waste no time nor didn't bother patching its wound and decided to climb up to the trees—jumping branch by branch,hoping that..'THAT' person wouldn't keep up.

"AWOOO!" The wolf felt itself dropped down to the tree,alongside the person.

"You lose~And now time to say goodbye..Eheheeheheh~" And with that,The wolf's head was detached on its body. The only thing that the wolf shall remember in the after life,will be the hysterical laugh of 'The Little Red Riding Hood'— Ruby. As soon as she stopped laughing,it was soon replace with her screaming and blushing that she had to cover her face,dropping down on her knees when she recalled the time she and Martis had.

"WHY DIDN'T I SAY ANYTHING?! I'M SUCH A FOOL! AAAAAAHHHHH! BAKA RUBY!"

#12 Challenger#

"Hurry up! We don't have all day,she'll be arriving soon enough!" Zhask fully commanded,the minions immediately sped up the pace as they compiled the boxes.

"M-M-Mi'Lord Zhask.." A minion interrupted him.

"WHAT?!" The minion backed away,completely terrified at their boss.

"S-someone's calling for you,T-the one who's named by...*Gulp* A G-gem..." Zhask immediately changed its composure,ordering his minion to speed it up and walked out of the place. The minions continued their work,as they didn't want to disobey their lord.

Zhask opened the door and soon enough,The gem is standing right infront of him. He cleared his throat to remove the uneasiness in himself.

"Good day to you Ruby." Zhask greeted first that sounded cold and emotionless.

"Good day to you Mi'Lord Zhask." Ruby greeted back while bowing down,being respectful at someone's Royal home.

"Uhh..The formalities aren't needed,especially in your Presence Ruby. I insist to keep calling me Zhask,even in my home." Ruby nodded her head before asking on what's the occasion about. The Alien then told her to close her eye as he'll escort her to their destination,she followed—closing her eye with her one hand while her other hand to hold unto Zhask's.

After a few minutes of walking,Zhask finally told her to uncover her eye. Just as Ruby followed,she was greeted by something that jumped into her arms—she was even baffled when she saw the view infront of her.

"I..I didn't know you owned a Rabbit Farm Zhask." Ruby said while having the rabbit on her arms,who's snuggling on her breast.

"Yeah...I just found them lurking around my property,instead of using them as experiments...I decided to keep them for me to show you,honestly..." Zhask said while scratching the back of his head.

"Especially since they remind me of your cuteness.." He continued that last part faintly.

"Sorry..Did you say something? I got distracted by the Bunny,Its so cute." Ruby said as she hugged the bunny with a big smile making Zhask blush at the sight as his heart started to beat like crazy.

"Huh?..Uh—! Its nothing...Let's just go and like play with the bunnies?" Zhask suggested awkwardly,internally smacking at himself for doing something 'cowardly'—is what he rephrased.

"Sure,Let's go." Ruby grabbed one of Zhask's hands while her other hand is still grabbing on the bunny peacefully on her chest.

——————————————

After the time they had with the bunnies,Ruby requested to have a bunny for her to give for Chang'e. Zhask accepted her request,so now she has a sleeping bunny on her chest,Zhask is also holding a bunny since he was going to bring them back to it perspective cage.

"I had a lot of fun,Thank you for inviting me here. Though I must request for you to not yell at your subordinates Zhask." Ruby said making the Alien Lord shock.

"H-how?"

"Eheh..Your house isn't that sound proof,so...I kinda heard it through the door." The Alien lord mumbled a 'sorry and will try and not yell',to which Ruby smiled and thanked him.

Suddenly in slow motion,Their gazes met and with Zhask remembering the challenge..He stood infront of her and leaned in—even if he has the need to like kneel down to reach her height.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Their Romantic moment was soon replaced by the scream of the Alien Lord who begun to drop the bunny but Ruby safely caught it.

"What's wrong?" Ruby asked in worry as she saw Zhask calling for his minions to get him some disinfectants and a towel. Eventually, she connected the dots together after seeing the little balls on the ground and a little bit of wet liquid that's dripping down his thighs. She looked at the bunny and her guess was right.

The Bunny that Zhask was carrying had peed and poop on him.

"THAT VERMIN!" Just as Zhask was about to lunge at the bunny,Ruby stopped him and apologized for it. She even begged for him to calm down since its normal for bunnies and decided to keep another one for the sake of Zhask to not kill it later.

The Alien Lord calmed down as just in time for the minions to bring out disinfectants with some towel,he ordered his minions to clean the mess and escort Ruby out safely since he'll be taking a bath while Agreeing to Ruby's request on taking the other Vermin—the rabbit.

Ruby thanked Zhask and waved goodbye as one of the minions escorted her out,he didn't waste any time and ran to the bathroom. That's when a sink was thrown out of the window when he saw a paper that's taped on the mirror,The paper was read:

"Zhask..You failed the challenge."

—Lylia,Chou and Popol

#Zhask: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Not only did we not do any sabotage but I guess...Nature took its courses?" Harith reported to Kagura on the phone,she began to laugh since its kinda impressive.

"Oh well,At least it was a fail. So who's next?" Kagura asked.

"According to Lylia...Its Alpha."

"Him? Dang..Ok. Be careful of Beta though,might be dangerous on your work."

"Will do Ms.Kagura."

————————————————

#13th Challenger#

"Ok...Need to double check. It should be right here." Ruby said while checking both her surroundings and the paper on her hand,making her way close to Eruditio to have a meet up with Alpha.

"Ah! Bruno! Good day to you." Ruby greeted once she spotted the soccer player and part of the Ranger Squad.

"Yo Rubs! Fancy seeing you here,going somewhere? Its bad to wonder by yourself here." Bruno said while doing some cool soccer techniques,Ruby almost got distracted and luckily remembered her mission.

"Oh yeah...I was looking for Alpha with this address that he sent to me,I'm kinda not use to this place...especially since it changed." Ruby gave the paper to Bruno for him to check it out.

"So Alpha's taking you somewhere?" He asked,The maiden nodded her head that made Bruno grin.

'So...He decided to ask her out huh? Though why did he chose this place?'

"I can take you to this place,yeah...Kinda a bummer that you didn't live here so you'll be more updated on this place,this place is just full of awesome technology and experts. Its also normal that some changes were either upgraded or remodelled,so its hard to remember the places. Anyways,Let's get going." And with that both of them walk to Alpha's requested destination.

————————————

"This is my stop now Rubs,Gotta go back patrolling. See ya." Both of them Wave goodbye at each other, with Bruno gone. Ruby took a deep breathe before entering inside a colosseum.

As she entered,walking on the halls...Finally spotting the person she was looking for.

"Alpha! I'm here." Ruby called out while approaching the man who's leaning on the wall with his partner Beta,who's just floating around. Alpha met his gaze on her and gave a smile. Alpha led him and Ruby to their seats at the colosseum,getting the best seats for the best view.

"What's this about?" She asked.

"You'll see,just watch and enjoy cause its worth it." He answered while taking out some snacks for them to enjoy.

They didn't wait long as mist started to pour in while a big door started to open slowly,underneath it where cars with some cool designed themes started to show. The crowd went wild as the announcer announced each one of the cars and the ones who are driving it,that's when Alpha told her that they're going to watch a Car race. She was quickly interested as its her first time seeing this kind of events.

"Ready!...Set!...GO!" With the light turning green,all cars started to move fast. Alpha explained the contents of the race with Ruby being so ecstatic as she watched the cars racing for 1st place.

"Check it out Ruby,Its Johnson." Alpha pointed at the familiar car that was sure not mistaken.

"I didn't know Johnson would participate on this events,I thought he was busy with the S.A.B.E.R team? You know,Patrolling and stuff." The male just laughed as Ruby's question.

"Yeah...Johnson only joins at this events for fun,especially since its his day-off now. Plus,there's the rangers—so his safe." Ruby made an 'Oh',understanding Alpha's explanation as she continued to watch. She even joined the crowd on cheering,obviously for Johnson to win.

————————————

After the race ended with Johnson who won in 1st place,Ruby insisted Alpha to go to Johnson and greet him personally. The male didn't hesitate on saying 'yes' as they ran to catch up with the winner.

————————————

"Bye Johnson! Good luck!" Both Alpha and Ruby waved goodbye to Johnson as he morphed into a car then sped off. Once Johnson is out of sight,Alpha took Ruby to a supermarket and right before their eyes—they went to a stand that sells chocolate.

"Oh! I like this. Thanks for bringing me here Alpha." Ruby said while eating a chocolate muffin,Alpha nodded his head while eating his Banana muffin. It was now silent,Alpha looked around to see if anyone's going to go for a sabotage. Plus,Beta isn't still responding which worried him if something happened to his partner. He sighed in relief when Beta uresponded quickly,reporting that no one's around and even returned to his side.

He finally has the chance,just as leaned in..

*VRRROOOOM VRRROOOOMM MADERPAKERS!*

"Just passing by!" The familiar voice shouted making the moment ruined as there attention is on the owner of that voice.

"WATCH OUT!" Alpha yelled as immediately stood infront of Ruby,completely covering her when a wave of water was going to splash them both.

"A-Alpha?! Are you ok?" Ruby asked in worry. Just as she touched Alpha's shoulder that gave a shock that she retreated her hand.

"Ah..I'm sorry. Sorry for the late warning but my robot body gives a shock when its wet,still working on the upgrades to have it waterproof." Alpha laughed it off while backing away,making sure that Ruby won't get electrocuted again. Both of them immediately went to Alpha's place to fix himself—with him sulking when Lylia sent a message of his failed attempt.

#Alpha: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Pleasure doing business with you Johnson,Here." Harith got out of the car as Johnson morph back into himself. The Leonin gave Johnson his reward,just in time for Rafaela to arrive.

"Johnson,Where were you?" Rafaela asked. Before Johnson could explain,Harith beat him to it—explaining the story that's pure of white lies. Rafaela took it but gave Johnson a little scolding about telling someone before doing something that's off-work. The Transformer thanked the Leonin,so its all good—except for Alpha who's planning bloody murder on Johnson.

#14th challenger#

"Thank you for accepting my invite Ruby and a good day to you." Granger said while bowing down at the lady infront of him with grace. Ruby blushed a little at how charming he is,not like she'll admit it on the outside.

"Good day to you Granger,You're very much welcome. Though I should be thanking you for inviting me to this place." Ruby said while bowing down,just returning the gesture. Both of them laughed before Granger turned into a gentleman and opened the door for Ruby to be the first one inside.

——————————

"And now feel the rhythm and Step and Step..Go One-two,One-two..And spin..Great job everyone. Take 10 and we'll be back." The dance instructor said while leaving to the room as the people inside started to take a break.

"Here you go." Granger gave Ruby a bottle of water as she accepted it greatly.

"Thanks." She said,opening the cap and drank almost half.

"You did pretty well,our Rhythm worked out in sync." Granger's compliment made Ruby blush as she looked away,trying to keep her composure.

"T-Thank you...You're very talented at dancing too,do you come here often?" Granger gave a small laugh as he patted her head.

"No,Its actually my first time. Just saw a sign that said 'Dance lessons and to bring a partner.'." A little white lie on that cause not only was he not interested on those,he has another reason for it.

***Flashback***

***6 months ago***

"I'm leaving now." Granger said while waving goodbye to the Lightborn squad. It was midnight since Silvanna invited them for a drink,resulting in some of his group to be wasted—excluding Harith,who only passed out cause of how much food he ate.

Silvanna,before passing out too,waved a goodbye. As to for a wasted Fanny, who accidentally vomited on her brother,Tigreal.

Granger begun to walk somewhere,instead of his home as he's not too drunk—only had a little beer,even though Alucard persisted him on drinking more. The Blonde Demon Hunter got a good beating on that. He eventually walked in the Dark Forest,getting the satisfaction of peace and silence that he begun to 'hum' a tune of his own harmony.

He found a pond and beside of it has big rocks ,where he could sit and perfectly play his violin. Instead of going to take the spot,he stopped when he saw someone dancing at midnight. With curiosity getting the best of him,he went closer to see the familiar person—he was not expecting.

Confirming to himself that he was not hallucinating with that Familiar Red cloak,Emerald eye while wearing an eyepatch,small height and a large scythe that's been carried around.

"Ruby?" Is what he only said lowly before ducking down to the bushes to hide.

He watched her dance on the midnight till she was done and left home, though he didn't follow her since he already knew were she lives. Of course,he didn't stalk her—it was Ruby who told him.

Blushing at how elegant she was as always. He may have seen it when they fought on the battlefield but, it has always managed to amazed him.

———When he accepted the challenge———

And when he accepted the challenge,there was a place to where he coincidentally read about Dancing lessons. Remembering about that unforgotten memory,he smirked cause it felt like a win and decided to use this as their date setting.

***Flashback ends***

"Oh..I see." Ruby said before The instructor finally arrived and they continued on for their dance lesson.

——Timeskip cause I'm literally lazy af——

"Thanks for taking me here Granger,I had fun today." Ruby said as she and Granger walked out of the place. They soon went to the Dark Forest since Granger insist on joining at Ruby's place to help her with chores,plus..a secluded area + no other people to see + no encounters with his rivals,especially Alucard and Gusion + A perfect moment = he wins.

They were nearly reaching at Ruby's place when Granger got her attention. With a side of a silent moment and slow motion,Granger begin his move...

*SLAM!*

"GRANGER!!" Ruby yelled out in shock and in horror to see the Death Chanter's body slammed down,like a pancake. She turned to face two people who are glaring at each other and not even bothering to get out of the way.

"K-Khufra?! E-Esmerelda?! What brings you two here were its off-limits?! Also,You're stepping on Granger's body! Please get off of him before he dies!" She could see Granger is trying to be alive as his hand begun to twitch. The two stopped there glaring contest when they both looked at Ruby's pleading eyes and below the person their stepping on.

"Whoops~ Sorry about that.." Both of them said while getting out of Granger's body. The Death Chanter soon recovered quickly,glaring at the two as his hands begun to twitch on the reach for his gun.

'I'm going to kill them.' Granger took a mental note for that.

(Pfft—! Good luck with that Marksman,yer up against two Tanks man.)

"Oh yeah..About your question little gem~ We're having a 1 v 1 match that we had to use our Ultimate and landed on this place. Sorry about that Granger hun~" Esmerelda explained while laughing a little at their silly act.

"Is this your way of dating? Killing each other?" Granger asked while dusting himself,still glaring at them both.

"Well..You could say...See ya!" Khufra yelled out as he blocked Esmerelda's surprised attack.

"Woman! That move won't work on me always! Can't you be more creative in your attack?"

"Says the guy,whom I defeated before and still can."

"Oh its on you fat bitch."

"*Gasp!* How dare you?! Its on now thin dick bandages!"

"*Gasp!* You take that back!"

"No,you! And for your information, I am Thicc! While your body can easily be blown away,especially if Vale uses his power and who's even more meta than you!"

"Yeah,You're thicc enough to be called a pig! And excuse you,I can easily crush him! Cause I'm more Meta than him!"

While the two continued to insult each other,Granger carried Ruby bridal style and ran away of their range. They soon arrived at her home when they heard an explosion,assuming that its Esmerelda's Ultimate again. The Male then set Ruby down as there infront of her doorstep. The maiden unlocked the door and they both went inside,Granger was still mad at the two—even getting more mad when he saw the 3 spectators to show that he failed.

'After this,I'm going to Assassinate those two and cover them with bullets.'

#Granger: Failed#

***Bonus: ***

"Uhh—Were they part of the plan?" Popol asked while pointing at Esmerelda and Khufra still fighting while insulting each other.

"Ah..No,but they did a good job. Guess,I won't have to die on Granger's hands again." Harith said while shivering at a random memory he remembered.

"Not gonna judge but I think Granger's going to kill them. Plus,I saw the way his hand twitch on his case—wanting to trigger his Death Sonata. Besides,Granger is going to wait till they exhaust themselves." Chou said while leaning on a tree,his companions nodded their heads in agreement knowing that its true.

"Well..At least there going to die together." Lylia said. They laughed lowly,not wanting to interrupt the 2 tanks fighting. Suddenly,A call almost interrupted it but Harith got it—they soon left to avoid the two.

"Yes Ms.Kagura?" Harith asked.

"HARITH! HARITH! WE'RE DONE! WE'RE LITERALLY DONE!" He could hear Kagura panicking through the phone.

"What?"

"I'll explain but first can you get the others to come here at my place." And with that she hang up before Harith could ask a question,he soon followed her orders as they left.

***15th Challenger***

A lot of people stayed at Kimmy's place and begun to sulk,making the atmosphere very depressing and cold,the boys groaned while the girls sighed.

"So did anyone won?" Kimmy asked while drinking milktea. They groaned out a 'no' and continued to sulk.

"What happened?" She asked. No one said anything and just groaned.

"If no one's going to say the. I'll start...Before we were going to kiss,One of my successful gadgets explode in self-destruct. So we had to have it as our first priority. I was so close..Huhuh.." Kimmy cried that she bit her straw.

"Well...Just as Ruby and I were about to kiss. A large wave of water splashed me,so now I got wet and had to change since its so cold." Guinevere shared while crossing her arms,as her face got annoyed.

"Akai 'accidentally' slammed my face at the cafe,just as me and Ruby were about to kiss. Not just on the table but on the piece of cake that I was having. I'm going to kill that Panda!" Alucard yelled in frustration but soon sulked like a child. The other laughed at that interrupted moment.

"Oh dayum! I should've gotten a picture!" Gusion spoke while laughing his ass off.

"Oh how Nature takes it course~" Guinevere chimed in.

"Compliments to the Panda for that." Lesley said while some wheezed at it. Alucard got more annoyed that he started to bite a pillow.

"Hey! Don't bite my pillow and don't share your drool on it." Kimmy yelled but was ignored.

"Oh eat a sock,not like your guys were any better at getting your moment interrupted." They soon kept quiet on it,which felt Victorious on Alucard's perspective.

"Oh~ Something did~ What is it?" Alucard teasingly asked,he even had Kimmy and Guinevere to join him on persisting to confess.

"Fine..Someone hit me on the head as I was about to lean in for a kiss." X.borg confessed.

"Who could that be?" Alpha asked.

"I dunno. I just said someone." X.borg shrugged and rolled his eyes at the obvious question.

"Well..Johnson drove near us,just in time for me to notice the puddle near us that I had to cover Ruby. I was the one who got splashed on." Alpha confessed.

"Remind Johnson to go for some driver's lessons." Gusion said as he shrugged a random memory on his head. Everyone agreed since some of them became a victim.

"Mostly tell that to Odette." They laughed since that combo's like dang good.

"Got interrupted by Selena and Lunox,Plus..My mom had to nag me for not telling her about a guest's visit which I don't want to tell cause you know how parents or other people go bat-shit crazy when their 'child' has a lover and shit." Dyrroth confessed while continued to slouch on couch. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement,even if some didn't have parents—they have witnessed it.

"My teacher interrupted our moment." Valir sighed but got angry that his body started to engulf in flames.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" He yelled out,making the flames bigger.

"HEY! DON'T GO BURNING MY HOUSE!" Kimmy yelled out as she brought out a fire extinguisher and started to spray it on the Fire Mage,who's now fully covered in foam.

Valir thanked her as Kimmy welcomed him back.

"Got attacked by a bunch of birds,which was odd." Vale confessed. Everyone looked at him in confusion and in shock.

"Eh? Seriously?" Valir asked. The Wind mage nodded his head in a 'yes'.

"A bird even took a shit on me,so I had to take a shower." Silence filled the room but was soon replaced with Valir's laughter.

"Oh screw off..." Vale rolled his eyes as Valir continued to laugh and is on the floor,grabbing his stomach.

"That's messed up though its funny but really messed." Guinevere said but Vale knew more of it.

"Thank you for your sympathy." Vale said sarcastically and scoffed as some begun to laugh.

"I should be called a hypocrite for laughing..cause when The Gem and I were about to kiss..The bunny I was holding,took a shit and peed on me." Zhask confessed. Now everyone became quiet but was soon filled with Alucard's laugh.

"Buahaahahah! Compliments to the bunny..Buahahha!" Alucard wheezed and now on the ground with Valir who laughed too.

"Oh fuck off,I was going to kill that Vermin but The Gem wanted to keep it. So I let her when she pleaded me,so now that Vermin lives." Zhask scoff and still wanted to murder that Bunny.

"Can't be help since Bunnies are harmless,they just couldn't—pfft—Keep up with you existence...Ppfft—!" Kimmy said while laughing,which Zhask glared at her.

"Say another bad thing about me and your Subject 1743 on my next experiment." That gladly shut Kimmy up,so were the others.

"By the way..You should be called a Hypocrite on laughing at my bad moment." Vale reminded which that shut Zhask up.

"Yeah..Count me in on being a called a hypocrite cause..Umm.." Gusion started to confess,making the other curious at what is it.

"Just spit it out man." X.borg said while taking a sip of his coffee.

"Someone dump a small bag of garbage on me." This is the 3rd time that silence filled the room,with Gusion looking embarrassed. It was now replaced with Guinevere and Lesley's laughter. And also,X.borg spat out his drink on Martis and quickly apologized.

"Buahahaah! Seriously?! Buahaha! Now that's comedy! Buahahahahah!" Guinevere wheezed alongside Lesley who are both on the ground.

"He..Help-..I can't..Breathe! *Wheeze*.." Guinevere started to cry while Lesley begun to hit the floor.

"Oh shut it you two." Gusion pouted like child who got his lollipop taken.

"If Ruby where here,she'd take pity on you man to be honest. Cause you had it worst." Vale spoked out,comforting the Paxley a little. Gusion still pouted but had a little comfort and now his head is on Cloud nine about Ruby comforting him.

"Well that took nicely." Valir said as Granger nodded in agreement.

"For me. Actually,Call me a Hypocrite but...Our moment got interrupted cause Harley vomited on me." The 4th silence but soon replaced with Gagged noises at Lesley's confession.

"Seriously?! That's so gross! Ugh—Oh my god! I can imagine it and 'Ewww!',So gross!" Guinvere continued to complained as Miya joined in.

"Damn Les...You had it bad. Geez..What made your self-egotistic brother vomit on you?" Alucard asked and felt disgusted when he imagined it well too.

"We went to the recently build Amusement park and Harley....Sort of,Got carried away with the sweets. So he got sick." Some gave Lesley a pat on the back.

"I like how were disgusted and taking on Lesley's tragic tale while laughing at the other's tale of misfortune." Guinevere said smugly,her eyes directed at the Paxley,who just gave her the middle finger.

"Go suck a dick Baroque." Gusion said.

"No thanks..I'd rather have Ruby's ass and pussy to eat..." Guinevere talked back while checking her nails.

"By the way... Like a 5 star-course meal."

"Like hell I'd let you Baroque since you lost." Alucard said while throwing a pillow at her. She easily dodge it and stuck out her tongue to taunt the Blonde.

"All of them are gross in my opinion." Kimmy said while picking her pillow and throwing it to Alucard.

"Now there's drool on my Pillow Alutard,fucking wash it." Alucard whined but took the pillow in his arms,so he won't forget to wash it—Though he might later.

"For my confession,just as Ruby's lips were near mine..I became Molina cause Nana joined us." Miya confessed.

"At least you only turned into Molina,since most of us had physical or mental interruptions." Valir said as grabbed an ice pack and place it on his head for a cool down.

"I'm still sad that my chance were ruined but I couldn't take my anger on Nana for that. She must've slipped her magic." Some agreed since knowing Nana,they couldn't be mad at some child—only if they knew there real intentions though,if your Dyrroth or any other psychopath who's not giving a flying fuck—then skip ahead.

"Esmerelda and Khufra had a brawl that they used their Ult and almost crushed me to death." Granger confessed. Another silence and surprisngly,no on laughed or dared to laugh as they saw him glare at them.

"Those two are really in for each other's throat despite that there dating each other." Martis spoked out while scratching his head.

"I feel you man..I witnessed them fighting near our tribe home that I had to interfere and show them who's meta." Martis said with an annoyed look.

"What did you do?" Granger asked.

"Oh..I grabbed The Mummy's hand bandages then wrapped and tied them around together,face to face. After that,I grabbed them by their feet and spun them around before launching them elsewhere,that's not near our tribe." Everyone was now laughing and imagine some of the Aftermath on what happened next.

"By the way Martis..What happened on your date with Rubs? And how did you lose?" Vale asked. Martis expression was still coldless but they knew better since his lips begun to twitch.

"I—Uh...Kinda did a messed up.." Martis covered his mouth and started to mutter incoherent words,that annoyed some.

"Oh just spit it out! Its nothing worse than Gusion's trash." Guinevere shouted.

"HEY! YOU DAMN GORILLA IN A DRESS!" Gusion shouted back.

"Eat the trash while your at it."

"Fine..I'll tell,But I need you! Yes,Specifically you Baroque to stay away from me. Basically all of you." Martis ordered while bringing his dominant presence around the room,like a predator ready to consume its buffet. Everyone backed away of his range,which he sighed and took a deep breathe as his dominant presence was gone.

"I...Kinda fucked up on this. I invited Ruby for a dinner at my place,only for me to chicken out and not say a word as we ate. We only spoke when I escorted her out of the house." Silence filled the room that was soon replaced by a dark presence,looming everywhere. The person even dared to walk infront of the Ashura King and started to punch,only to have it blocked as Martis successfully caught the hand.

"HOW DARE YOU NOT COMMUNICATE TO RUBY AT A DINNER DATE! WHAT ARE YOU,A STATUE?! YOU COULDN'T TALK TO HER,NOT AT LEAST A COMPLIMENT?! YOU DONKEY! GIVE ME BACK THE APPRECIATION I GAVE TO YOU! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A CRUEL THING?!" Guinevere continued to try and hit Martis as the others watch and even recorded the fight. They also didn't bother helping Martis since that's like a great sin on a date,plus they let the Raging Baroque do the work for them.

"YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST GIVEN HER A COMPLIMENT! LIKE ABOUT HER GOLDEN HAIR THAT STILL SHINES THROUGH THE NIGHT! SHE'S STUNNING LIKE A MOONLIGHT GODESS,HER SMILE THAT BRIGHTENS UP SOMEONE'S DAY... BUT NO! I HOPE SOMEONE GAVE YOU A GOOD BEATING FOR IT!" Guinevere tried to hit the King,his expression doesn't change but inside—he's guilty.

While Guinevere continued on her attack,the door suddenly opened and in comes the person they didn't expect to see.

"Hey Gu— Uh..Guin? What are you doing?" Ruby,their unexpected guest arrived,asked that made everyone on the room turned frozen.

"Uh—Guys? Hello? Did something happened?" Ruby asked again,snapping her fingers at the nearest person,Kimmy.

"Huh—What? Oh yeah..Sorry about that Rubs,we just didn't expect you to be here." Kimmy answered as she nudge the other person close to her to wake up.

"Oh no,Its fine. Sorry if I didn't tell you cause Claude told me to come here since he has a surprise for me and for you guys." Now that they think about it,soon realizing something as they looked at each other.

"Has anyone seen or noticed Claude?" Kimmy asked the others who shook their heads in 'no'.

"Something wrong?" Ruby asked in pure confusion on what's happening.

"We didn't noticed that Claude left or didn't arrived so we don't know." Ruby understood as she looked around the situation,before she could open her mouth for a question. The door was slammed opened and in comes trouble.

"Sup Dudes!.. and Gem." Claude gave a wink at Ruby,making her blush. He then walked inside with that damn smirk on his face.

"Ruby told us,you had a surprise for us. So spill." Kimmy said as she glared at 'The Thief'.

"Oh..Do I~? Hmm..Oh yeah! I do!" His smirked gotten even wider as he walked infront of Ruby who's still oblivious at the moment.

"This is my surprised,cause I win~" Before everyone could question it,they soon had shocked faces as they witnessed something unexpected in their life.

"What are you—Hmmph?!" Ruby was stunned when she saw that Claude was kissing her,it only took like seconds but to her—it felt like hours or years maybe. The Thief immediately pulled away from the kiss with a satisfaction smirk. She was now on Claude's shoulders, who's carrying her like a sac. Everyone was still in shock on what happened as Kimmy's window broke and in comes The 3 spectators. Chou quickly ran infront of Ruby and covered her ears while the 2 congratulate Claude on his success. Chou then removed his hands on her ears and quickly joined the 2. Soon,Ruby woke up on what's happening now.

"C-Claude? What are you doing?" Ruby asked while trying to wiggle away but to no avail.

"Nothing much...We are Just going to pawn a gem,Well..I am." Claude answered.

"And by I mean pawning a gem..I meant this gem." He continued while patting his hands on Ruby's butt,that made the maiden's face turn red as her cloak.

"Wait..What do you mean?! Claude?! CLAUDE!!!" Ruby started to hit his back,but did nothing as if her fist were weak or is it because of Claude's endurance.

"Save your screams in bed babe cause we're going to a place where I'll be the one to pawn this ass. Bye guys and gg!" And with that they left,leaving the rest shock while the spectators smile.

"Well..That was interesting. Looks like Claude really did gave them a shockingly surprise~! Ba-Dum-Tss! eh? Eh?" Chou said,No one laughed..except his two companions. They tried to revive the failed competitors but did nothing. The 3 soon left as and said there goodbyes,just as Lylia closed the door of Kimmy's house. They soon heard a bunch of broken things while seeing objects thrown out of the window and the scream of madness and bloody murder that it would be mistaken as a bunch of Mental Asylum patients.

#Claude: Succeeded#

—————————————

"I can't walk.." Ruby pouted as she woke up on the bed in the hands of the thief. Claude woke up the same and gave a chuckle as he pulled her close to him,like holding a teddy bear.

"Aww~Babe~Its not like our first time anyways. But hey,At least we got a full month to ourselves." Claude said while using his other hand to stroke the hair of his lover,who giggled as she snuggled her face on his chest.

"You're right,Though I feel bad for my other boyfriends and Girlfriends. Having a Harem sure is hard to handle." She then felt a hand a hand on her ass,causing her to glare at the thief ,who's eyes are closed but with that playful hot smirk—she knew better.

"I know that you're just pretending to be asleep,you can't fool me." He only laughed but still has his other hand on her butt,Ruby only sighed as there's no point on telling this man off.

"Eh...Don't feel too bad about it. We love you,so its cool to them. Plus..I got my prize and claimed it~" Ruby laughed as she gave him a kiss on his neck.

"I can't believe that all of you accepted a challenge,I feel pretty bad for them to try and not letting me know about the challenge. After this is over,you're going to help me cheer them up.Deal?" Ruby recommended only for Claude to do displeasure noises.

"Add a reward to it." Claude requested to which Ruby sighed.

"I will not allow them kill you and we can do the kink that you've wanted to try for so long—only once. Deal?"

"Hmm~Deal. I actually have more kinks—!

"Ah-Ah-Ah! I'm gonna have to stop you there." Ruby said while placing her finger on Claude's mouth.

"Oh well..Better than nothing. Though,Since we're awake~" Claude immediately got up from the bed and was now on top of Ruby,he bounded her hands and legs so she wouldn't get out of the bed nor even sprint to the bathroom. The rooms of the hotel are soundproofed,so there's 0% chances of someone hearing a couple having morning sex.

"You mischievou—Hmmp!" Ruby was cut off when Claude kissed her,soon started with a make-out session. There already naked as some of their marks were fading fast or slowly but it doesn't matter since its going to be covered with marks again—mostly on Ruby's body.

"Less talking babe and more fucking~"

***Bonus: ***

While Ruby's other lovers where still on a rampage..Let's explore at Kagura's place.

"How did Claude knew about this?" Lylia asked the Umbrella mage.

"Well..Claude was observing you guys and everything. So when he heard about our conversation,he immediately went to my place and we had a conversation about it. Once he knew all about it,he then made a plan to win. So we made a deal." Kagura said as lowered her head in embarrassment.

"What was the deal?" Harley asked while looking at himself on the mirror.

"A date set-up with Hanabi." Silence filled the room.

"Aren't you dating Hayabusa?" Chou asked while obviously shocked.

"Well...Haya and I talked about it and he was cool with it. Though its hard for me to try and keep in touch with Hanabi,I really like her and Haya."

"Oh well..Good luck with that then." Kagura smiled only to receive a message,her eyes widened when she saw the name and read the text.

"Oh my Moonton,Its Hanabi! and she accepted it!" Kagura squealed with joy as her companions started to celebrate.

"Well what are you waiting for? Get your dress-up and make up cause its time for your date!"

***End Of Chapter***
