"You ladies, missed me?" Ryan said with a smile. "RYAN!!!!!" All eight of the girls said in tears as they rushed to him.

Ryan's heart swelled with warmth and love as he was embraced by his worried and relieved girlfriends. The sight of their tears and the sheer joy in their voices reassured him of the deep bond they shared. He held them close, cherishing the moment and feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having such caring and supportive partners by his side.

"I missed all of you too," Ryan whispered, his voice filled with sincerity and affection. He savored the embrace, finding solace in their presence and the love that radiated from each of them. The worries and dangers he had faced seemed to fade away in that moment, replaced by the comforting feeling of being surrounded by the people who meant the most to him.

As the tears subsided and the intensity of their emotions settled, Ryan gently wiped away their tears, his touch gentle and comforting. He looked into each of their eyes, silently conveying his love and appreciation for their unwavering support.

"I'm here, and I'm okay," Ryan reassured them, his voice filled with reassurance. "Together, we can overcome anything that comes our way. I'm grateful to have all of you in my life."

The room filled with a mix of relief, love, and a renewed sense of unity. Ryan's return served as a reminder of the strength they derived from one another and the unbreakable bond they shared.

Meanwhile, Cinder is burning down a White Fang hideout in Vale. The last White Fang soldier was seen trying to crawl away, when Cinder grabbed him by the back of the neck. A fireball in her hand as she stares at his very soul.

"Where. Is. My. RYAN BLACKBURN." She said in rage.

The last White Fang soldier looked behind her to see Mercury and Emerald feeling bad for him as they know he'll die.

Cinder's eyes blazed with fury and her grip tightened on the White Fang soldier's neck. The fireball in her hand grew brighter and hotter, its flames dancing ominously. The soldier's breath became shallow as he felt the intensity of Cinder's anger and the impending doom that awaited him.

Mercury and Emerald exchanged concerned glances, recognizing the dangerous situation their comrade was in. They knew the soldier's fate was sealed, but they couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him. They had witnessed Cinder's obsession and rage firsthand, and they understood the consequences of crossing her.

"Please... I don't know where he is," the soldier gasped, his voice filled with desperation. "I swear... I don't know."

Cinder's eyes narrowed, the flames in her hand pulsating with her rising anger. "You dare lie to me?" she seethed, her voice laced with venom. "I will make you regret every word that leaves your mouth."

Just as the situation seemed hopeless for the soldier, a voice echoed through the burning hideout. "Cinder, stop!"

Emerald stepped forward, her voice filled with urgency. "We can't keep doing this, Cinder. We need to focus on our goals, not let our emotions consume us."

Cinder turned her gaze towards Emerald, her eyes flickering with a mix of rage and frustration. Slowly, she released her hold on the soldier's neck, allowing him to collapse to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Fine," Cinder hissed, her anger simmering beneath the surface. "But remember this, soldier. If I ever find out you lied to me, your punishment will be far worse than anything you can imagine."

With those chilling words, Cinder turned away, leaving the soldier to nurse his wounds and contemplate his narrow escape. Mercury and Emerald offered him a brief, sympathetic glance before following Cinder out of the burning hideout, their minds filled with a mix of loyalty and unease.

In the distance, the flames consumed the White Fang hideout, their destructive power reflecting the turmoil within Cinder's heart. As they made their way back into the shadows, the fate of Ryan Blackburn remained a burning desire that fueled Cinder's every move, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.

The next morning, as Cinder, Mercury and Emerald were walking to Beacon's cafeteria for breakfast. "Hey Mercury and Emerald!" Said Ryan passing by. The three did a double-take seeing that it was indeed Ryan. Cinder meanwhile, felt so much joy seeing him alive and well. Mercury and Emerald sighed in massive relief seeing him too.

Cinder's eyes widened with disbelief and her heart skipped a beat as she saw Ryan passing by. She couldn't believe her eyes. Her mind raced with a mix of emotions—relief, joy, and a flicker of guilt for the thoughts that had consumed her just the previous day.

"Ryan!" Cinder called out, unable to contain her excitement. Mercury and Emerald turned their attention to him, their expressions shifting from surprise to genuine relief.

Ryan turned towards them, a smile on his face. "Hey, Cinder, Mercury, Emerald. How's it going?"

Cinder couldn't help herself. She rushed towards Ryan, throwing her arms around him in a tight embrace. "I thought I had lost you," she whispered, her voice filled with a mix of emotions.

Ryan returned the embrace, a mixture of surprise and warmth in his eyes. "I'm here, Cinder. I'm alright."

Mercury and Emerald shared a knowing glance, silently acknowledging the bond that had formed between Cinder and Ryan. They, too, felt a sense of relief, grateful that their comrade and friend was safe.

As the four of them walked towards the cafeteria together, the tension of the previous days seemed to dissipate. Cinder couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of purpose and determination. She would continue her quest for power, but now with a newfound understanding that her obsession with Ryan had clouded her judgment.

Together, they entered the cafeteria, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. The bond between them had grown stronger, forged by the trials they had faced and the relief of finding each other once again. As they sat down to enjoy their meal, a sense of camaraderie and unity filled the air, reminding them that they were stronger together than they could ever be alone.

Later, we students outside the cafeteria for lunch, but not entering the cafeteria. Ryan, Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY came and were wondering why everyone was outside.

"What's happening in there?" Fox asked a student.

The student who was Sun Wukong points at Professor Thumbelina Peach making a stew. That was smelling so bad that not only she was wearing a gas mask. But pot was glowing bright green.

"Fuck that. I'm ordering pizza. Who's with me cause I only have enough money for 12 people and myself." Ryan said as immediately Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY raised their hands for pizza, "To the common room!"

The group of students made their way to the common room, eager to escape the noxious smell and enjoy a more appetizing meal. As they entered the room, the anticipation for pizza filled the air, and Ryan wasted no time in placing the order. He quickly dialed the number, ensuring that there would be enough pizza for everyone.

While they waited for the delivery, the students gathered in the common room, engaging in lively conversations and sharing laughs. The relief of escaping the cafeteria and its questionable stew was palpable. As the pizza arrived, the room erupted in cheers and applause.

With the scent of freshly baked pizza filling the air, the group settled down to enjoy their meal. Laughter and friendly banter filled the room as they savored each delicious slice. It was a moment of camaraderie and relaxation, a much-needed break from the chaos and challenges they faced as Huntsmen and Huntresses-in-training.

As they shared stories, traded slices, and bonded over their shared love for pizza, the students felt a sense of unity and belonging. They were more than classmates; they were a family, supporting each other through thick and thin.

The common room became a haven, a place where they could unwind and recharge before facing the trials that awaited them. And as they enjoyed their pizza feast, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they had each other's backs. Together, they would conquer whatever came their way, fueled by friendship, pizza, and the unwavering determination to protect the world from darkness.

Soon the 13 heard screams of horror, groans of pain and vomiting from students. Not a second later Sun rush in the common room and takes Ruby's pizza slice.

"Hey!"

He eats it and runs to the infirmary yelling, "Move! Peach's stew going make me-"

Next they heard him puke.

The students in the common room exchanged bewildered glances as they heard the commotion outside. Concern filled the air as they realized something was seriously wrong. Without hesitation, they hurriedly followed Sun to the infirmary, their appetites forgotten in the face of the unfolding crisis.

As they entered the infirmary, the scene that greeted them was one of chaos. Students were doubled over in pain, others were vomiting, and the air was filled with the sounds of suffering. The nauseating smell of Peach's stew hung in the air, confirming their suspicions that it was the cause of the distress.

Medical personnel and teachers rushed around, trying to provide aid and comfort to the affected students. The severity of the situation became evident as more and more students succumbed to the noxious effects of the stew.

Ryan and others, filled with concern, approached one of the nurses and asked about the situation. The nurse explained that there seemed to be a contamination in the stew, causing severe food poisoning symptoms. It appeared that Professor Peach had unintentionally used spoiled ingredients, leading to the disastrous outcome.

The students immediately rallied to help. They fetched water, towels, and anything else that could provide relief to their fellow classmates. It was a testament to their compassion and teamwork, even in the face of such a distressing situation.

As the hours passed, the medical staff worked tirelessly to treat the affected students, providing them with the necessary care and support. The incident served as a reminder of the importance of food safety and proper preparation in such communal settings.

In the aftermath, the school took necessary steps to ensure that similar incidents would be avoided in the future. Safety measures were reviewed, and stricter protocols were put in place to prevent any further food-related incidents.

Though the day had taken an unexpected turn, the students stood together, supporting one another and working towards recovery. It was a stark reminder of the resilience and unity within their ranks, even in the face of unforeseen challenges.

Eventually, the affected students began to recover, their strength returning as the effects of the food poisoning subsided. Through their shared experience, the students grew closer, bonded by the trials they had endured and the determination to make Beacon Academy a safer place for all.

And as they moved forward, they would carry the lessons learned from that fateful day, ensuring that the importance of food safety and the well-being of their fellow students remained at the forefront of their minds.
