Remnant's Freelancers: Restored
Hello, and welcome. To the sequel of Remnant's Freelancers. I'm not sure how long it'll be, or how often it'll be updated, but I've kinda got a story already planned out. But it's kinda like the scaffolding is there, and then you haven't got the blueprints for the actual building, so you kinda just go 'whululululu' and build the best building you can with the mental image you have. Anyway, enjoy!
1 Year since Remnant's Freelancers:
"Data Logging complete, would you like me to upload it to the storage unit, Ruby?" The miniature green, holographic armoured man asked the scythe-wielder, who nodded.
"That'd be great Delta, thanks." Ruby replied, and Delta disappeared, leaving Ruby alone in the Freelancer Headquarters. After a few seconds, the green AI reappeared, and Ruby smiled. "You're done already?" She questioned, and the AI fragment made a minuscule nod.
"Yes, Ruby. The data has been uploaded to the main storage unit." The fragment answered, and Ruby stood up. "I assume you are returning to your school?" Delta asked, and Ruby laughs.
"Yep. Summer Holidays are almost over, so I've gotta get back over there. It's been fun working with you guys though. So I'll try to help you as much as possible, when I can that is." Ruby tells him, a small grin on her face. "Did ya' know that 'Lina has taken up a class at Beacon?" Ruby questioned, and Delta stayed silent for a few seconds.
"Yes. Hand-to-hand Combat, am I correct?" The green AI replied, and Ruby's head nodded again. Ruby took a few long strides and pushed open the house's front door, stopping there. "I am sure you will return soon?" Delta asked her at the door, but she shrugged.
"I don't know, bu-. Wait, are you getting lonely?" Ruby asked playfully, but only got a standard, emotionless reply.
"Loneliness is not something that is within my capabilities, Ruby." Delta answered, Ruby chuckled and slowly closed the door.
"Ya' know, sometimes I'm not so sure that's true. G'bye Delta." She said, and walked away from the house. Delta watched her as she left, and returned to the inside of the building swiftly. He looked out of the top floor's window, his armoured holographic hand placed against the glass.
"Sometimes, I am not so sure myself." He said, a dejected tone in his voice as he continued to stare out at the world.
Ruby strolled down the smooth stone pathway, and into the Beacon's main building ahead of her. Taking a few minutes to reach her dorm room, she pushed open the door, yawning as she stretched her arms out wide. She noticed a yellow mound on one of the top bunks, and smiled lightly.
"Hey Yang." Ruby greeted her older sister, who's body instantly shot up.
"Heeey Ruuuby..." Yang extended her words, and threw herself off of her bunk. "Sooo..." She sand, and wrapped one of her arms over Ruby's shoulder. "Where've you been for these past six weeks." Yang emphasised, causing Ruby to squeak at her realisation.
"Uh..." Ruby started, taking a small step back. "I was... Helping the... Freelancers?" Ruby said questioningly, her eyes wide with fear. Yang looked at her with raised eyebrows, and Ruby huffed in defeat. "OK. I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving to help them. Better?" Ruby said, and Yang nodded with a large smile.
"Yep. So much better. Anyway, what'd you do?" Yang asked happily, and Ruby thought back.
"I helped with a few, uh... Operations, as they called them. And I helped them set up their base." Ruby informed Yang, who nodded slowly as she took in the information. "Hey, where are Weiss and Blake?" Ruby questioned, and Yang shrugged.
"I dun'know. I guess Weiss is studying, somewhere... And Blake may be in the... Library?" Yang answered doubtfully, before shrugging again. "Yeah, I haven't a clue." Yang finished, and climbed back onto her bed. "Anyway, I'm kinda tired, so I'ma take a nap now. G'night Ruby." Yang said, and her body quickly slumped in her bed, and Ruby chuckled at the sight.
"Yeah. Night Yang." The brunette said, and left the dorm room, pulling the door shut gently.
And that, is Chapter One, I hope you enjoyed it. It was kinda my brain reintroducing itself to the storyline of this universe, so that's why it's so short. Anyway, remember that Constructive Criticism is always useful, Reviews are welcomed, and keep moving forward!
Stinger out!
