Shard shook his head while chuckling as he and the group continued to watch Ditzy cuddle the tiny turret. The little robot was more than happy to be in the embrace of her new master, giving off small cheery beeps. Rayleigh chuckled as well at the new robot, having come outside of his bag to see the new addition be welcomed into the group.

"How do you even make these Shard?" Lyra asked as she poked the turret, getting a small beep in response.

"Learned a lot about robotics and coding while working at CyCorp and books I've read. Rayleigh was a project I had been working on for years to get used to creating robots, so building a smaller one with more experience wasn't that difficult. The coding is a bitch but it's worth it in the end."

Ditzy finally let the robot go and she jumped down to the ground in front of her and looked up to her. "Hi Ditzy. Nice to meet you." It spoke in its adorable voice.

Ditzy got on her knees and smiled at the turret. "Nice to meet you too...um...what's your name?"

"She doesn't have one, I thought you could do the honour of naming her." Shard explained with a small smile.

Ditzy placed a finger to her chin in thought before smiling. "How about Aniese?"

The turret tapped below its eye thoughtfully before nodding. "Sounds great! Yay!"

As Shard was about to speak he was interrupted when Ditzy immediately brought him into a hug. "Thank you! You are the best boyfriend ever!" She planted a kiss on his lips before picking up Aniese and walking into the school. Shard stood frozen in shock, a huge blush appearing on his face, only snapping out of it once Rayleigh hit him in the back of the head.

"Thanks Ray."

"No problem Master Shard."

Time Turner noticed Shards blush and tilted his head. "Don't you kiss her like that? Why are you blushing so hard?"

"Well...if she catches me by surprise I kinda get a red faced..." He answered while rubbing the back of his neck. Turner rolled his eyes while Carrot Top giggled with Lyra and Bonbon.

The group began to walk into the school with the rest of the students, however Shard stayed behind to look around, having a funny feeling that was staring to get on his nerves. He looked around frantically, feeling a familiar presence nearby.

"What the..." Once the front yard was clear he slowly reached for his sword, Rayleigh catching on and readying his saw, claw and flamer. Everything was silent save for the sound of the wind blowing. The feeling faded and he began to relax. "Must have been my imagination..."

"What was it Master Shard?" Rayleigh asked in concern.

"I thought I...never mind, let's just get to class."

After school finished for the day, Shard sat in the middle of a zen garden in one of his families estates, seeking to take his mind off of things while mediating in the gardens. Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate. Pulling it out he answered the call from one of his overseas relatives. "Hello Cousin Pearl, what's up?"

"Hey Cousin Shard, I'm just calling to talk about that thing you wanted me to bring with me on my trip to America."

"Oh, what time will you be getting here?"

"Actually I can't go, I accidentally told the TSA agent that my underwear was the domb."

"Why the hell would you tell them your underwear was a bomb?!"

"I didn't say A bomb I said THE bomb, now I can't go, but someome showed up as a replacement..." Pearl was remained silent afterwards.

"Pearl? Is everything alright?"

"I'm sorry Shard...I tried to stop him, but I couldn't..."

"Who? Who couldn't you stop?"

"Why don't you turn around and find out?" A rough voice, much like Unlce Qrows from RWBY, spoke from behind him. Shard hung up on Pearl and immediately went for his sword. In an instant he stood up, turned around and blocked the blow of another sword.

Shard looked to the man in front of him, someone he knew all too well. He was an elderly person but still looked young as if he was in his forties. He wore no shirt, showing his muscles and a large scar on his chest. His orange hair overgrown and draping over his back like hedgehog quils, much like his large beard. He wore slightly torn black bottoms with sandals on his feet, his orange eyes staring into Shards. "Great...like I didn't have enough to deal with." Shard pushed his attacker back before spin kicking him in the left side of his face.

The man didn't fall nor slide, he jumped and landed perfectly on one of the large stones in the zen garden. "You honestly think I wouldn't retaliate once you tried to steal my blade?"

Shard growled and took a fighting stance. "You don't deserve that sword! You have done nothing but bring shame to this family, you are not worthy or wielding our ancestors blade."

Lapis walked out of one of the buildings with a tray in her hands and a smile on her face. "Oh dear nephew~ I made you some-" She dropped the tray as soon as she saw the man Shard was stating down. "No...not this..."

Shard growled again before charging the man. They locked swords and began to push against each other. "I can see you've gotten stronger, but it won't be enough, no one in our family has ever once defeated me."

"You are no longer part of this family!" Shard pulled out a second blade and stabbed it into the mans chest, only slight missing the scar. Begore it could sink deeper the man pulled away and held his chest.

"Watashi no orokana himago."

Lapis rushed for her house phone and dialled up Shards father. "Split! Split can you hear me?!"

"I can hear you Lapis, what's going on?"

"Get everyone here now! Your son Shard he...he's fighting Grandpa Shard!"

Author's Notes:

A little bit of info, Shards family reuse names of dead relatives.

Also, this may seek out of the blue, but trust me it's part of the main story and is to develop the Storm family tree and dive deeper into their history.

And yes we are getting to the crap with Mise.
