Chapter One: Appearance
Right before Tyrian's tail was to strike at Ruby, a mysterious figure in a white hood and cloak appeared in front of her stopping the tail's strike by grabbing the stinger in a firm clasp, only a few inches from the mysterious figure's face. "Raaaargh! How many people are going to save your life?" Tyrian demanded, in his psychotic voice. Ruby looked up from flinching and breathed out "huh?" in astonishment and shock. The mysterious figure just smirked.
Over next to west facing entrance of the destroyed village, Ren, Nora, and Yang stood paralyzed at what they just witnessed, looking upon the scene with wide eyes and jaws dropped. "Ruby, get out of there!" Yang yelled across the town plaza at her sister, and with that Ruby picked herself up ran towards her friend. The mysterious figure took that as his cue and chuckled under his breath. Creating a strong grip on the stinger, he pulled Tyrian towards him. Holding the stinger with his left hand and bringing his enemy towards him. Then with his right hand punched Tyrian square in the face and knocked him flat on the ground, causing an earthquake like explosion due to the punch's power. Shattering the ground underneath Tyrian, and having a gust of wind to follow, knocking the the hood off of the mysterious figure's head.
Once the hood was off, it revealed a man with slicked back hair but had slight shades of bright red in it. He has blue eyes and a quirky smile. He looked young, not much older than the girl he just saved, maybe a year older, but there was age and wear in his facial features. The wind gust also blew back the cloak, showing off a white mid sleeve collared shirt that had red accents, atop was black leather straps and harness with helped held in place a little bit of armor, he also wore shirt tails that were white but faded to black which matched his black pants with red stitching and finally black boots with red laces.
"You need to really stop relying on that tail of yours Tyrian, it"s easy to counter. It's your strength and weakness." The mysterious figure said, now leaning over Tyrian with his own stinger held up to his throat. Tyrian becoming unstunned and looked up at his opponent. "Micel Moordenaar, the Huntsman Messager, ha ha ha! How many of you do I have to kill to get that little girl?" Tyrian said to Micel in a hysterical voice. "And yes it might be a weakness but it's still my greatest strength!" Tyrian tried to use tail to push Micel off him but Micel kept him pinned with the stinger still held to his throat.
"Yeah but not against me and since i'm in a rush. I'll make it quick." Micel said in a scratchy voice, he then took the stinger and held it down, took out a blade and cut it off. 'AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Tyrian screamed out in pain. Then Micel, in one punch knocked Tyrian out.
He then got up and walked over to group, brushing off his shoulders. They all stood, but Ruby stood behind them.
"Who are you?"
"What do want?"
They all asked but Ruby kept silent, she obviously was being shy. Or maybe she's struck in fear from the fight with Tyrian and being saved from him once again. Micel couldn't tell. He stood before them and gave them a cold stare. "All in time I will tell you, right now I need to speak to Miss Rose." Micel said to them in a cold staggered voice, they all looked at Ruby who was looking at the ground but then looked up with hearing her name. "Me?" she said in a shy, quiet and confused tone. He slightly tilted his head and looked at her. "Where's your uncle?"
