Chapter 1

The streets of Los Angelis were quiet for once, normally they were rather busy and loud, but then again nothing was ever normal since the conduits first appeared, ever since then things were moderately normal, at least until some started showing up, in this case there were two of them, the first was a tall blonde teen wearing a pair of biker shoes, jeans with the legs cut to be short shorts, a loose black sleeveless shirt and a yellow and black jacket with the sleeves rolled up, the second being a smaller brunette girl with the tips of her hair dyed red, she was wearing a grey hoodie with a pair of red and black loose pants and a pair of sneakers, these two had made a name and home for themselves in the city not long after arriving and to say they were unwelcome was a massive overstatement, within the first week they had been made out as conduits and seemed to disappear only being seen during confrontations with the police and DUP, other than that they never really seemed to stand out but when they did danger was bound to follow and quickly, the tall blonde leaned in closer to the smaller girl and whispered, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Looking back to the older girl with a frustrated look crossing over her face she said, "Yes I'm sure"

Seeming to surrender to the younger girl's confidence she said, "Alright, it's just that this really isn't you're kinda thing"

Turing her gaze ahead she shot back "Just because you're the one always planning doesn't mean I can't" before the older girl could respond they had reached their destination and the younger girl kicked through the glass doors, "Alright, nobody move!" She looked back to the older girl with a smirk then nodded her head in the direction of the receptionist,

Deciding to follow through with their plan she walked over to the desk and pointed to one of the three people on the other side of the desk hiding behind the small glass wall meant to keep everyone out, "You open the door now" she said pointing to the door a few steps off to her right, when the young man cowering behind his seat shook his head she shouted, "Open the damn door now or I'll just blow it off fucking it's hinges!"

This seemed to give her the desired effects as he yelled "O-ok please just don't hurt me!" Running from behind his chair to the door he hurriedly and shakily opened the door and took three steps back pressing himself against the wall,

As she walked through the doorway she grabbed the young man by the shirt and threw him out then turned to the others in the room, "You get out!" She approached the other two receptionists and grabbed them by their shirts and began bragging them back to the door, throwing one of the receptionist's through the door she said, "Come-on we only need one hostage!"

The smaller girl simply nodded as she approached the door and after walking through closed it behind her, "No! No! Pl-please don't hurt me!"

The smaller girl walked towards the young woman the taller one had in her grasp and put her hand over her mouth, "We aren't going to hurt you if you do as we say, all we need you to do is take us to and open the vault or someone who can do that for us" she calmly explained to the sobbing woman, when the woman had calmed down even if it wasn't by much the girl continued, "Can you do that for us?" shakily the woman nodded,

With a smile the girl nodded, and the teen eased her grip on the woman as she said, "Lead the way" now on her feet the woman took them further into the building and the two girls followed with an eerie silence, the teen asked softly, "How much further?"

Her tone confused the woman, but she didn't let her guard down and her posture remained stiff as she answered shakily, "N-not-t t-to much fur-further" they walked through another three hallways before stopping in front of their goal, pointing to her right to another corridor she said, "Th-the furthest-t door do-down th-there, i-is where yo-you'll find th-the pin for the v-vault, th-the manager, h-he's inside"

The girl looked to their left and asked with a soft and surprisingly soothing calm, "And what about down there?"

The woman turned her gaze down the corridor the girl was pointing and answered nervously, "Th-that leads t-to the underground ca-carpark, the-there should b-be an arm-armoured truck, just-t outside"

Looking to each other both girls nodded and the teen let go of the woman's arm then began walking towards the managers office, her confusion must have shown as the girl answered her unasked question, "We didn't really need a hostage, just someone to show us where we needed to go, you can get out of here we weren't going to hurt you" deciding to not stand there and ponder what had just happened, the woman ran back the way they had come from, turning to the blonde she said nervously, "Well this is it" the teen didn't answer back as she kicked the door open and marched towards the manager, as the teen shoved the man back into his seat the girl walked in and said with as much confidence as she could muster in her voice, "Hello my name is Ruby May" she turned silent and watched the man expectantly as if she was waiting for him to introduce himself, and after a few minutes of silence her expectant expression formed into a bright smile as she continued, "Well ugh I guess I'm here to tell you that I'm robbing you. Now don't do anything crazy, all I'm asking for is a million dollars"

To both girls surprise the manager was rather calm and didn't seem at all intimidated, instead of doing as they said he asked, "Am I supposed to listen to you two delinquents? Your attempts to intimidate me aren't working so tell me, what are you going to do?"

Ruby seemed to stop and think for a moment before shrugging and answering with the same bright smile, "We may not like killing and I may not like hurting other people that much, but my friend doesn't have too much of a problem with leaving a few scars" by the end of her response the bright smile physically remained unchanged but now gave a very unnerving presence, and his continued lack of a response caused Ruby to sigh with disappointment, "Alright then, make sure you don't cook him" the blonde teen formed fire in her hands and began approaching the man while Ruby turned and began walking out of the room,

The manager for his part did put up a good front, but as the blonde's hand kept getting closer and closer he called back, "Alright, alright! Ju-just get her away from me!"

Ruby looked back and noticed the fire was only inches from his face and his skin was starting to burn, she could even feel the heat of the flame from where she stood, with her bright smile returning she said, "Alright Yang you can stop" once the blonde had her hands back by her sides Ruby asked, "So what's the pin for the vault?"

Looking back to the blonde teen who still held the fire in her hand, he said, "Th-the code is three n-nine eight fi-five six three"

Ruby turned back to the door and ran out only stopping once she made it to the vault, when the door opened she called back, "Right get the keys you're driving!"

Yang turned back to the manager and said, "The woman who brought us over here mentioned an armoured transport, where are the keys?"

Looking to Yang shakily he answered, "They should be on the wall on your way out, th-there's a hook on the wall they should be there" for the first time since entering the building Yang had a bright and cheery smile before walking out of the room and closing the door.

As Yang jumped into the drivers seat she looked to the passenger seat to find Ruby already sitting and waiting, "And now for the hard part, you ready?"

Barely surprising a laugh as she put the key into the ignition Yang asked, "Ready to be chased by the DUP's? Sure, but I gotta know, how does leading them to him with his payment help us stay out of a cell?"

As the engine roared to life Ruby answered with a shrug, "Dunno, all he said was to bring his payment and the DUP's to him, and we'll be living our lives freely"

Before she put her foot down on the accelerator Yang looked back to Ruby and said, "You do know how much that sounds like a pile of shit?"

Again, Ruby shrugged as she exclaimed, "Look, there's word going around saying how he's gotten other conduits outta the system and that he could help us too, we could actually live our lives without those asshat's chasing us around!"

Sighing once more Yang said, "For once I'm hoping your right, so how far away are we?"

Giving a bright smile yet again Ruby answered, "Not too far I chose this place because the idea was to lead them to where we're going, it's only a few streets down, you know the construction site?"

Not even bothering to answer the young girl sitting next to her Yang slammed her foot down onto the accelerator and within seconds the truck was moving towards the exit, and as expected there were some DUP soldiers waiting outside for the two but they were waiting out the front with their guns aimed at the broken glass door, or they were until they saw the armoured truck come out from the side and made for a speedy get away, within seconds the men and women were in their own heavily armed vehicles and in pursuit of the armoured truck, the chase wasn't too eventful surprisingly enough the only real trouble was when Yang tried drifting around corners to try and stay ahead of the DUP's and nearly tipping the truck over in the process, but eventually they arrived and the DUP were not too far behind, Yang and Ruby quickly jumped out of the truck and ran towards the man waiting for them, he only wore a tux and hockey mask, as they began to slow down to a speedy walk Yang asked, "So you're the guy?"

The man nodded and answered back with a deep but calming voice as he said, "If you're asking, am I the one that's going to help you live your life freely, then yes that would be me"

Struggling to contain her excitement Ruby said, "See Yang I told you!"

The man turned back to them and asked, "So the DUP are on their way over here?"

With a nod Yang said, "They got out of their rides when they got to the entrance of the site, they should be here soon, so how does this work exactly, you bribe the DUP's and take what's left and we leave?"

The man shook his head as he said, "No, we fake your deaths with multiple eye witnesses claiming I'm the one who killed you"

Before the two could question him further a single DUP soldier arrived and shouted, "Get down on the ground now!"

The three of them stood still as they watched the lone soldier waiting for the rest of his group and after a few more seconds the rest came through, "I thought I told you two, not to be followed"

Yang glared at the first man arrive as tried to appear and sound annoyed, "I thought we'd lost them"

She looked back to Ruby who was surprisingly good at acting as she looked like the man intimidated her, "I-I th-thought w-we did"

The man turned towards Ruby and raised his voice as he reached out to her with surprising aggression, "You thought you did! And here I thought you were ready for actual work! You two are nothing but a waste!"

As the man moved to grab Ruby by her arm one of the DUP solders shot at the man, yet the bullet didn't seem to pierce his skin and bounced off of him as he grabbed Ruby by her shoulder and dragged her closer, "Sir put down the Bio-Terrorist and put your hands in the air!"

The man ignored the soldiers as one of his hands seemed to faintly glow, then Ruby's arm began to twist and flow to her left as the rest of her body followed, and within seconds she was reduced to thin air, "RUBY!" The man turned back to look at Yang and the first thing he noticed was the tears flowing down her face as she ran at him "YOU BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU!" She threw a punch and the man dodged to his right narrowly avoiding her strike, it wasn't too long until Yang noticed that the DUP soldiers were ignoring her and shooting the man, she charged at him again this time her hands engulfed with fire, "YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU!" She screamed as she launched herself at him, only to be caught, with his fingers wrapped around her throat she found herself pushed back against the armoured truck, looking down to her hands she found only one of them weren't being held, she tried to reach for his mask but before she could do anything further everything began turning black.

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this and I'm sorry that I didn't put too much effort into the end of this chapter, before I could finish it I learned that someone I knew recently passed away, and after learning about that I just couldn't find the motivation for a good way to end this chapter, as for why the chase was short and lazy, well I just couldn't figure out how to write it out well, if I can come up with something better I will come back and change it, also as for the way Ruby disappeared I couldn't find a great way to describe it but the friend willing to help with editing my FanFic's gave me a better way to describe it, for those of you who watch Naruto more specially Naruto Shippuden should know what Tobi's/Obito's and Kakashi's Kamui (I think that's how you spell it) looks just picture that, anyways I hope to see you all enjoy this and it becomes something more, so please follow, favourite and review, all constructive criticism is welcome.
