TO CLARIFY LUCILLE'S WEAPON (NAMED APOLLO AND ARTEMIS): THE BLADE PART OF THE WEAPON IS SIMPLE, BUT THE GUN IS A BIT MORE COMPLEX. IT USES RED, WHITE, BLACK, AND YELLOW DUST (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?), ALTHOUGH NONE OF THE DUST HAS A SPECIFIC ELEMENTAL ATTRIBUTE. THE DUST BEING USED IS PURE ENERGY-TYPE DUST THAT IS REFINED THROUGH THE GEM ON HER WEAPON TO HAVE COLOR. THE WEAPON IS VOICE-ACTIVATED, HENCE HER SAYING WHAT COLOR SHE WANTS USED. JUST IN CASE PEOPLE GET CONFUSED.
PERSONALLY, I REALLY LIKE LUCILLE.
Lucille had to wait a while, but eventually, the White Fang attacked. That was how she'd find Adam. She saw it on the news, and then left her house.
"Off to find Adam?" Her mother asked.
"Yes."
"Knock 'em dead. Literally," was the reply.
"I will." With that, Lucille walked out and started to hurry through the streets to the address the White Fang attacked. It was a park that commemorated the struggle of a brave soldier platoon against a White Fang attack. They clearly saw it as idolizing fools who would deny the fauna equal rights. Lucille agreed, but she had better things to worry about. She began to jump her way up a building by bouncing from said building to another until she reached the top. When she did, she began to run, leaping from roof to roof. She looked for signs of attack, and it didn't take her long to find a smoky column rise from the sky. She ran to it with incredible speed. When Lucille reached the park, she jumped. The White Fang was attacking from multiple airships. 3, to be exact. As she jumped, she saw Adam, and she then activated her weapons. The arm plates lifted to reveal a thin, square hole. A curved blade of white energy flew out of each hole. They curved around her neck, the tips almost touching. By the time she fell, they were fully out and ready to kill. She landed on the ground and hurried towards Adam, who boarded one of the ships.
"Kill her," he muttered to some guards. They ran towards her, and she jumped into action. She spun around and turned her arms with her. One of the blades cut through the soldiers in front, and the other killed the rest. She jumped in the air and slammed her feet onto a soldier's head, and she kicked off and spun through the air, cutting up soldiers as she flew. She landed and spun her arms as if she was throwing a cape around her, and more soldiers died. She saw a soldier fire at her in the distance, and she spun around, but went backwards this time. Lucille kept spinning and her blades blocked the bullets, knocking them out of the air. She sidestepped and swerved around, using her body to increase the force of her swings. When the soldier ran out of ammo, she sprung towards him and ripped him to shreds.
"Damn, the ship's getting away…" She muttered. Lucille jumped to the nearest airship, the only one she could reach. Using her blades, she cut through the metal and landed inside. She held her ground, but some of the soldiers flew out of the hole she left. The wind was making things difficult, but she pushed forward. The ship was large, almost mansion-size (though nowhere near as large as the Schnee mansion). She kicked through a door to another room, and found soldiers arming up.
"Who are you to stand in our way?!" A soldier asked arrogantly.
"I'm a mercenary. I bring condolences from Death," she said, lunging at the soldier. She ripped him apart, and more attacked. She dodged their clumsy sword swipes and sliced through one, ducking and spinning under another. She sliced the soldier and then kicked the face of a female soldier before turning to a man and slicing him. She slid under one soldier's legs and sliced them off with her blades. She then sprung off of the ground and kicked off of his body and landed on the woman, killing her. More soldiers ran at her, but she dodged and sliced in almost the same movements, killing like it was a dance. She then burst through the next room and braced herself for a lot more fighting.
Lucille had conquered the first ship, and made her way to the second, which was just as big as the first. She retracted the blades, and the square holes in the plates sealed up. From each of the plates, long, shotgun-like barrel emerged. From it, a small, cylindrical tube fell and from the tube, two handles fell. She grabbed the handles on both sides, and snarled:
"White." Two buttons appeared from the sides of the handles and she pressed both of them, putting her arms so that they faced behind her. Air rippled as a gem that appeared on top of each of the barrels shone white. The force propelled her through the ship and into the air. She pressed the buttons again, and air rippled, shooting her forward a second time. She landed on top of the second ship but had trouble staying on. She turned her guns to blades and stuck them in the ship. It held her in place, and she looked behind her. She saw Adam's ship begin to fly away.
"Back to the guns," she muttered. Seconds later, she was flying through the air. She continued to do so and caught up to Adam's ship. She then said,
"yellow," and the gem on top of each barrel shone yellow. She fired, and a massive, disorganized energy blast flew from each gun and slammed into the second ship, obliterating it before it could fire at her. She switched to her blades and cut through Adam's ship.
When Lucille defeated all of the soldiers on the ship, she ran to the main deck, one room before she would reach the pilot's area. There, she saw Adam.
"So you're the Schnee family mercenary," he said.
"I am."
"I guess you're here to kill me."
"I am."
"You make it sound easy," he snarled, and from his sheathe, a blood-red katana flew as if shot from a gun. Lucille dodged and the gun flew past her, but she didn't hear it collide with the metal walls around them.
"Thanks, Blake." Lucille whirled around and saw a girl no older than she, with black hair and a black sheathe. She held Adam's sword in her hand.
"What?!" Lucille exclaimed.
"Why do I have to get Wilt every time you fire it from Blush?"
"Because that's part of being my pupil."
"How, exactly, do you figure that?"
"It builds character," he said jokingly. She threw him the sword. He caught it and sheathed it smoothly.
"Who is this?" Lucille asked warily.
"She's my pupil. You know how the stories flatter me with bloody descriptions of how I tore soldiers apart?" Lucille nodded out of respect for his reputation.
"I couldn't have done it without her help. She's a secret the White Fang hides, the one who'll take over for me when I leave. She's Adam 2.0."
"You know I hate when you call me that."
"It's just a part of your training."
"Let me guess: it builds character."
"Bingo. Now, what say we end this fight here and now? We destroyed the park; we've got nothing more to do here." Blake nodded and unsheathed her sword. She held her sheath and the katana she drew from it and charged. Lucille spun around and deflected her first strike. Blake kept attacking, doing a few strikes with her katana and then switching to her sheath. Lucille spun and stepped backwards, swinging her arms to block the blows and occasionally stepping forward to deliver blows of her own. Adam, meanwhile, stood back and fired Blush, the sheath. It had now turned into a rifle, and he was using it with incredible skill. Even when Lucille tried to get Blake in the line of fire, Adam found her and shot at her with unnerving accuracy, forcing her to dodge and give Blake more openings, which she quickly took advantage of. They worked together with unmatched skill and forethought, as if they were telepathically connected and knew what the other would do.
"Switch!" Adam shouted. Blake stepped back and flipped into the air. Adam charged and Lucille looked towards him. He was even stronger and faster than Blake. Each strike staggered her, she had to twirl even faster to keep up enough speed to dodge and block. She didn't even get a chance to retaliate, he was so forceful. It also didn't help that she found it hard to control the force of her spinning, as she was always in danger of throwing herself off-balance. Meanwhile, Blake now wielded a scythe head attached to a ribbon, which she spun and fired. The scythe head was also a gun, and she used the ribbon to spin her gun and change the direction of her bullets. Lucille was kept guessing, and soon was kicked by Adam when she let down her guard. His foot smashed into her chin and he jumped and kicked her stomach, sending her slamming into the metal wall with a sickening clang. Blake charged her and Lucille blocked, but Blake had gotten in two strikes. Lucille kicked her away and panted slightly, looking at her shallow cuts. Then, Adam quickly slashed, unsheathing his sword, and Lucille dodged. However, she felt a searing pain in her back. Adam had cut deep. She staggered up and then fell, her blades deactivating. She breathed heavily and unevenly.
"What do we do with her?" Blake asked.
"Kill her."
"Adam-"
"We've got no choice," he spat, and Blake didn't reply. As Adam walked over to Lucille, she found that a strange memory resurfaced.
