Reuploaded because the app uploaded half the chapter instead of the whole. Sorry.
Dark clouds loomed over Vale. A snowflake fell from the clouds and slowly drifted down. Down past the endless dark clouds, past the high buildings, past the windows of storefronts and finally settling on the blanket of fallen snow. A boot fell on the snow below.
A girl with strange black hair with red tips ran towards the sound of fighting and gunfire. Puffs of mist escaped her mouth as she ran towards the gunshots.
The girl is wearing a red long sleeve shirt with a hood, black skirt, underneath are black stockings and black and red running shoes.
Her name is Ruby Rose and she is obsessed with superhumans.
"It's best to give up now while you can, clearly you can't beat me." A voice said on top of a building. A girl with white hair in an off-sided ponytail, wearing a white double-breasted jacket with black piping, cuffs, and buttons over a white, pleated full skirt with black laced trim along with white thigh high boot with black heels and trims. On her face is a white and black eye mask and on her back is a brown sack filled with loot she stole. She is also holding a silver rapier.
Her name is Myrtenaster and she is a villain.
Ruby ran towards a partially snow-covered car and hid behind the side. Her eyes widened as a wide smile formed on her face as she peeked over the car. She reached into her pocket and fumbled trying to pull out her phone.
Her favorite superhuman is here and fighting Ember Celica, one of the many heroes of Vale. There is no way she isn't going to miss an opportunity to take a video or photo
Ember Celica is a woman with bright gold hair, wearing her hero costume consisting of a cream deep collar vest with black three-quarter sleeves and raised collar. She is also wearing a black and gold belt, thigh high black stockings with black boots with purple ribbons on the back. On her face is a yellow and brown eye mask and one her wrists are yellow shotgun gauntlets.
"Hiyaa!" *Bang!* *Bang!" Ember Celica shouted after punching a white and blue humanoid wolf in the stomach then upper-cutting it, sending it flying in the air then falling on the ground.
"Woah." Ruby whispered with wide eyes as she looked at the blonde heroine, more specifically her weapon.
"I guess you're all bark and no bite." Ember said smirking as she cocked her arms back, reloading her weapon while looking at the fallen wolf as it fades into mist.
"I'll show you bite." Myrtenaster said then a glyph appeared on the ground in front of the building she was standing on.
Yang knowing what will happen shot a blast towards the villainess. Her shot was a second too late as four more humanoid wolves emerged from the glyph but her shot still made contact with small wall the villainess was standing on and knocking her back.
Ruby is watching everything with stars in her eyes until a thought returned in her mind and remember she wasn't recording anything.
After seeing their master being knocked back caused the wolves to roar in anger and charged towards the blonde heroine.
One lunged forward, fangs showing and claws out. Ember countered by ducking under the wolf then using both weapons, shot the wolf from below sending it flying.
A second snarled and tried shoulder charging her but she turned and raised her right leg and axed kicked it on the head, sending it face first into the snow-covered concrete.
She didn't notice the third one sneaking up on her and swiped her legs causing her to fall on her back. The wolf then got on her and started slashing but she managed to block them using her gauntlets.
Ember managed to put her foot on the wolves chest, creating distance but the wolf was hell-bent on tearing her to shreds. With a shout, she pushed the wolf away from her but managed to get a hit on her.
The wolf tumbled as the blonde heroine got up and cocked her arms back. Her eyes widened and turned red as her hair glowed as if it was on fire. In between one of the wolf's claws is a strand of her hair. Her hair.
A pillar of fire erupted around her as she gave a shout of rage and rushed the wolf that got up after the tumble it had. Ember quickly threw punch after punch at the wolf who had nothing to do but accept the hits.
Hit after hit, the heroines punches got faster and harder. With a mighty roar, she cocked her arm back and delivered a powerful punch towards the wolf's chest, sending to towards a building wall.
The blonde left out a long breath as her hair slowly dimmed. The fourth wolf lunged from behind but its arm was caught then snapped and stabbed towards its head effectively turning it into mist.
Behind the car, Ruby eyes widened even further after watching the battle. Ember Celica just delivered forty-seven consecutive punches in twelve seconds! Ruby leaned on the side of the car using her back but kept her phone above the car, hoping to not miss anything.
Back on top of the rooftop, Myrtenaster shook her head as she slowly got up. Looking down she watched as the final wolf was defeated. Her left eye twitched in annoyance. This was supposed to be a simple dust robbery. Everything was planned to perfection but this. This isn't it.
Looking behind her, she saw the brown sack spilling its contents. Her eyes caught the color blue and light blue and a smile formed on her face. Quickly grabbing them, she inserted it in her weapon's chamber and focused.
However, a flash caught her attention and looked towards a car. A hand holding a phone was pointed towards her. She channeled a small glyph the size of her palm and pointed it toward the phone.
"Apologies but no paparazzi." she said then fired a shard of ice, impaling the phone and causing it to fall on the ground as a shout followed.
A smirk formed on her face and continued concentrating. A giant glyph formed on the sky and it started glowing brightly.
Ember looked up then towards the villainess. She cocked her arm back, attempting to shoot a blast again but her a click. Looking down and saw all the red shotgun shells on her gauntlets where empty.
"Oh come on!" She complained then started running towards the building however she didn't even take five steps before everything turned white and cold.
The whole street was covered in ten feet of snow. "Fwahh." Ember said as she emerged from the snow. Looking at the building, she no longer saw Myrtenaster and the dark clouds started to turn into white clouds and the sun warming the place.
The sound of sirens started coming closer. She dusted away snow sticking on her costume and made her way towards the first police car to arrive. Ember started reporting and didn't notice a black and red haired girl leave the area carrying a broken phone.
The next day
Weiss Schnee sat at a table waiting for her friend to arrive for lunch. She is wearing a light blue and white striped shirt and a blue jacket over it. She is also wearing dark blue skinny jeans and white flats.
Looking at her watch on her right wrist she noted that her friend is ten minutes late. She went into her bag and pulled out a history book and started reading.
Not two minutes later something banged on the table causing her to look up and saw her friend, Ruby Rose.
She watched her sit down then let her head fall on the table.
Weiss raised an eyebrow. Ruby is a girl she met on the first day of college. She literally bumped into her causing them to fall on top of each other. After repeatedly apologizing they got up and stared into each other's eyes. Something warm filler Weiss' chest but it quickly went away when Ruby looked away.
At first, Weiss ignored and stayed away from her because she was afraid of the warmth but quickly grew to love it after figuring out something. She was in love with Ruby. After that, she started hanging out with Ruby until they became best friends. It wasn't something she was aiming for but it was the first step at least.
Ruby groaned, still face on the table.
"Okay, what's up?" Weiss asked, closing and putting away her book.
She watched Ruby groan again and reach into her bag, still face on the table. She managed to find something somehow and pull it out.
She slid something towards Weiss, who stopped it using her finger.
Weiss' eyes widened as she saw the hole in the phone, Ruby's phone, Crescent Rose. Her most prized possession, not because it was given to her but because she worked extremely hard to save up and buy. The same phone she impaled yesterday.
'Fuck!' She shouted in the head. 'Ruby was there?! Oh my oum, did she see me get knocked back!? That was embarrassing!'
It was no secret that Ruby was a big fan of Myrtenaster, Myrtenaster being Weiss' secret villain identity she uses to steal from her father's business causing him problems after problems.
And now she was looking at her friend who was groaning like a zombie.
'Gods, I hope she doesn't hate me.' As she was thinking about that, the news channel playing on the canteen's TV was reporting on her latest robbery. Weiss extremely enjoyed the praises and gushing she received from Ruby when the news reports her crimes. Myrtenaster's crimes
"Myrtenaster strikes again as she robbed a dust store for the sixth time in this month-" Ruby raised her head and turned towards the TV showing a picture of Myrtenaster.
"Fucking bitch..." Ruby muttered causing glass to shatter around Weiss causing the girl to become even paler and her soul exiting through her mouth.
'Aaaaaah! SHE HATES ME!' Weiss screamed internally then let her head fall on the table with a loud bang.
"Uhh Weiss you ok?" Ruby asked concerned at friends actions, not realizing she did the same thing a while ago.
"Mhm…I'm fine." Weiss answered miserably.
AN
Do you prefer seeing numbers (1234) or words of numbers (one, two, three, four)?
Ok, so some rules in this story:
1. As long as you have a mask on people don't know who you are regardless of the same hairstyle you wear, etc.
2. Characters have semblances but no auras.
More rules maybe be added but that's the first two.
This story has been sitting on the back shelf for a long time along with others that may or may not be posted but decided I should release this one. Many more characters will be revealed but I wanted to introduce them in arcs.
