Sun knocked on the door, looking back at Gideon. The Faunus Planeswalker was attempting to ignore the buzzing at the base of his skull that had become synonymous with the presence of Mana.

"You're sure this is where she is?"

Gideon nodded, "I can feel her spar-"

Both Planeswalkers looked over as a rasping hiss came from the road leading to the house.

"Well," Sun grabbed the bo-staff he had been practicing with, "I think we're in the right place."

The little drake hissed at them, the spines on its back standing straight as it stood on all fours, a thin illusion hiding it from most of the world. Had they always existed, and Sun just hadn't been able to see them before now?

Sun shuffled through the spells he had learned so far. There weren't many, and he didn't think any of the Aether constructs he had would win a fight with it.

"Gid-"

"Drache! Slow down, I'm not that quick."

Ruby rounded the corner on a pair of crutches, her staff missing for the first time Sun could remember. Next to her was a blond-haired girl carrying a pair of backpacks and a mousy girl.

Ruby's face lit up as she looked over to them, though Sun couldn't help but notice that her eyes were fogged over and glowing slightly.

"Sun! Giddy!"

Sun grinned as Gideon flinched at the nickname.

The drake moved onto two legs, walking up to Ruby and rubbing against her. Seconds later a small corgi came around the corner of the house, panting up at her.

"Hey! You're looking better."

She did. The dirt that had constantly covered her face had been washed off and her clothes had been replaced.

"Who are they?" The blond girl asked, watching them carefully.

"Gideon and Sun. They're like me."

"Huh? Oh," she looked like she had swallowed a lemon, pushing passed the two of them and unlocking the door.

Ruby turned to the last girl, "Coming, Leenie?"

"I… Uh…," her eyes flickered to Sun, then to Gideon, then to the ground as a blush ignited across her face, "I have to go home."

Then she turned tail and ran.

"Leenie!" Ruby raised a hand in a vain attempt to stop her, before letting it drop and hang on the crutch, "Your home is the other way…"

Sun shared a look with Gideon. The older Planeswalker shrugged, obviously just as baffled by the events as Sun.

Ruby turned, still looking confused, and moved over to them. Gideon stepped aside, allowing Ruby into her house. As she passed, the Hieromancer nodded down at the drake.

"Why's that spewing mana?"

"I'm using him to saturate the area with mana. I lost my vision after Zendikar, and everything is still a big blur, so I'm making do with a combination of mana sight and familiar sight until I can see clearly again."

Sun would have been more shocked, but Nissa had also lost her vision after channeling all that mana. Chandra was the odd one out of the female Gatewatchers, having lost use of her legs after incinerating Ulamog and Kozilek.

Ruby continued into the house, the two men following, "Do you two want anything to drink?"

-X Line Break X-

Tai looked down at his Scroll from where he stood in front of the register at the store, picking up food for Ruby's birthday party the next day. It was a text from Yang.

two guys were waiting at the house. ruby knows them. plainswalkers. The grammatically incorrect text read.

"-for Ruby's birthday?"

Tai looked up, trying to keep the dread he was feeling off his face, "Sorry?"

"I said, is this for Ruby's birthday?" Ciara Delaney asked, "Aileen said that Qrow had found her?"

"Yeah," Tai nodded, checking his phone again, "he went on a job, apparently she had been near the town for a week."

Technically true, but vague enough that Tai didn't need to come up with a fake explanation on why his youngest had reappeared several thousand miles away from the last place anyone had seen her.

Nobody would have believed him if he told the truth. Hell, he hadn't believed Ruby before she cast a couple spells and made several Aether constructs, including her 'seeing eye drake'.

"I'm glad. I'll see you tomorrow?" Ciara asked, ringing up Tai's purchases.

"Yeah," Tai took the bags, trying to keep from breaking into a dead run to his truck.

Throwing the bags into the back seat, Tai started the truck and pulled out of the parking spot. With his other hand, he scrolled through his contacts and found Qrow's number. They had agreed it would be better for Tai to take time off from work, if only to make sure Ruby stuck to the diet that had been prescribed to combat the effects of six months of malnutrition.

After three calls went through to voicemail, Qrow finally answered.

"What is it, Tai? I'm in the middle of a class."

"I'm coming to pick you up."

"Classes don't get out for another hour, you know that."

"I'm coming to pick you up early."

Tai could hear the eye roll in Qrow's voice, "I'm not a student, Tai. You can't just 'pick me up early'."

"I got a text from Yang. A couple of Planeswalkers showed up at the house."

The line went dead for so long that Tai had started to reach for his Scroll to check if Qrow had been disconnected.

"I'll be waiting," Qrow all but growled out just before he hung up.

Sure enough, Qrow was waiting for him, dropping into the passenger seat and throwing Hewer into the back.

They were halfway down the winding road that separated Signal from the rest of Patch before either of them spoke.

"What do the want?"

"Don't know," Tai said, gripping the steering wheel so tight his knuckles were white, "I just want them gone. Load Howl and Roar for me? They're in the glovebox."

Tai knew, on some level, that they were both overreacting. Even if they did run off the Planeswalkers, Ruby would never go back to not being one.

After the year their family had, Tai thought that he was allowed at least one moment of irrationality.

He had already lost Raven, and Summer. Tai had thought that he would be desensitized to losing loved ones by now, but losing one of his daughters had been worse than losing either of his wives.

He just wanted them to be safe, and Ruby had come out of this malnourished, blind, and with a broken leg. He might not be able to protect her forever, but he could for now.

Tai took his knives from Qrow as they pulled into the driveway, slipping his hands into the knuckle duster handles as Qrow reached back and grabbed Hewer.

The front door swung open, Yang gesturing for them to hurry up. As Tai walked in, he looked around the living room.

"Where are they?"

"The kitchen."

Tai started to head in that direction, wondering why they were there of all places. Pushing open the door, Tai walked in.

"What's going o-"

Tai stopped.

He wasn't sure which was more confusing, the boy around Yang's age hanging from his tail on the light fixture, Ruby cheerfully eating one of the meals he had prepared in containers, or the grown man sipping coffee(?) from one the god-awful china cups Tai's aunt had bequeathed to him.

"What's up, Tai?" Qrow pushed passed him, took in the sight before him, and shared a look with Tai.

"Dad!" Ruby swiveled in her seat until she was facing their general direction, smacking into the table with her cast as she went, "these are Sun and Gideon. They're my friends!"

-X Line Break X-

Gideon sipped from the cup of coffee, trying to ignore the tense air. In all honesty, he should have expected this. He could have brought Ruby home much sooner, and had wanted to, but between helping the Boros Legion on Ravnica and fighting a losing battle against the Eldrazi, he just hadn't had the time.

Still, he wasn't exactly comfortable sitting across from two men who looked like they would very much like him dead, especially because the Gatewatch had agreed that it was probably for the best if he didn't bring his sural so they weren't intimidated.

"So," the one with slicked back black hair, Qrow, leaned forward, "why are you here?"

"We were checking on Ruby," Gideon looked out the window where Ruby was showing Sun a shed in the back. The blond girl was leaning against the side of the house, watching them, "She had said she would meet us in Ravnica. After two weeks, well, we got worried and decided to check."

Even as he finished saying it, Gideon knew it wasn't the right thing to say, wincing as a stormy look came across the two men across from him.

"You waited two weeks to look for her? What if she had been in trouble?"

"She could have Planeswalked out," Gideon defended himself, "we could sense her spark, so we knew she was alive, but we were working on other things."

Juggling teaching Sun about 'their world', coming up with fake identification for Chandra, Ruby, Sun, and Nissa, two fifth of the Gatewatch being restricted in what they could do, and registering the Gatewatch as one of the many smaller guilds that had formed falling the breaking of the old Guildpact and subsequent war had left Gideon with little time until now.

Even if Jace was technically Ravnica's leader as the Living Guildpact, he was bound by the myriad laws created to keep the guilds in check, the Guilds did their own thing unless they needed Jace to act as an arbiter (which was surprisingly often, considering that the Guilds had existed for ten-thousand years), and he had been looking for a way to stop being such. Partially because it left him with very little time to do anything, and partially because nobody wanted to think about what would happen to the new Guildpact when Jace died.

"Ruby told us about the Gatewatch."

Gideon sighed, "I don't like it either."

"Then why let her?"

"Because this way, we can atleast keep an eye on her," Gideon explained, "if we had refused, her and Sun would have probably run off and done it on their own. Better to have four Planeswalkers to chaperone her."

"She's still in danger."

"She would be in more if we aren't there. At least this way we can minimize the amount of time she's doing so," Gideon put down the cup, leaning forward, "I understand your worries, but if Ruby wants to get involved she will get involved, and there is no real way for us to stop her."

Tai and Qrow seemed to share a look, before turning towards Gideon as one.

"O-"

All three men jumped as a hurried knock came from the front of the house.

"Gideon!" the voice of Ral Zarek came through, "Gideon! We need Sun or Ruby at Ravnica, now! There's, there's another Planeswalker from Remnant."

Blake stood next to her mom, standing on her toes to see better. At the same time, she pulled the wool coat her dad had bought her tight.

They were in Atlas, part of a massive crowd gathered at the foot of the SDC refinery. It had been built on the back of Faunus labor, and now those same workers were gathered in protest. As the head of the White Fang, her dad had been asked to make an appearance during his yearly circuit through the Kingdoms.

Which is why they were in Atlas in the middle of winter, much to Blake's consternation.

It wasn't that she didn't want to be there, in fact, she was incredibly proud that her dad had decided she was old enough to come with him to something this big, but Blake had spent most of her life in northern Menagerie and Mistral. She was used to the weather being blistering hot in summer and comfortably warm in winter.

All in all, she was woefully unprepared for the below freezing climate of Atlas.

She should have gone with Ruby and waited for her dad there, at least Vale was warm.

Reaching into her coat pocket, Blake wrapped her hand around the steel ball hidden inside. Blake had planned to return it to Ruby, but when she had gone to, the younger girl had just smiled and waved it off. Despite the freezing air surrounding Blake, the orb was giving off an aura of warmth, especially compared to the pocket knife Ilia and Adam had given her.

"-they continue to ignore the Menagerie agreement! Faunus are forced to do dangerous work at minimum wage. Why, exactly, Mr. Hale, do you continue to support the SDC if you are so outspoken for Faunus Rights?"

The portly man standing across from her father on the steps of the building ran a handkerchief over his balding head, sweat dripping down his face.

"I have to follow the orders from above me Mr. Belladonna, if I quit someone much worse will take my place. I do sympathize with the Faunus-"

Blake found herself swept up in the heat of the moment, joining in the jeers that rose from the crowd.

"Liar!"

"Thief!"

"Slaver!"

The last one was punctuated by a rock striking Hale in the chest, which started a wave of several more. The Faunus crowd pushed at the metal barricade separating them from Atlasian police and the SDC guards.

Her father span, gesturing with his hands as he attempted to stop the unrest.

"This isn't-"

Several rocks struck him, his Aura soaking up the force. Wasn't this going a bit too far?

Then one Faunus lept the barricade, charging at the steps. The din of the riot quieted in Blake's ears as she pushed through the crowd, eyes trained on the knife sliding into his hand in slow motion.

One of the guards, a young man who had a pistol, stepped forward. Three inches of steel entering his body right below the ribs.

*BANG*

No matter how many times Blake replayed the memory in her head over the next week, she couldn't recall who had fired the shot. Whether it had been one of the other guards in retaliation, or if the guard had pulled the trigger on instinct, or maybe he had just flinched and the gun had gone off.

It didn't matter, in the end, it got the same result. The Faunus crumpled, his hand letting go of the knife as the guard stared down at him in horror. The front of the crowd grew silent as they stared at the dead Faunus.

Then years of tension exploded in the worst way possible.

"Murderers!"

"Killers!"

Blake was forced forward with the crowd as they moved forward, knocking over the metal barricades and charging the guards. Blake saw a grey haired guard pull out a second pistol, shooting any Faunus that got close to him. Another was firing his rifle at the feet of the advancing wave, trying to scare them into stopping. The guard with the knife in him dropped his gun, backing up towards steps as the riot grew worse.

One of the Faunus broke free from the crowd, grabbing the knife and tearing it from the boy's flesh. She tackled him to the ground, stabbing down, once, twice, thrice, four-

Blake watched as her father grabbed the woman's arm, an unusually stormy expression on his face as he hoisted her off the man. Ghira wrenched the knife from her hand, throwing her aside as one of the younger guards rushed over and tried to drag the guard into the building.

"I got you Row, just hold on!"

Blake wasn't sure 'Row' could hold on, four stab wounds were dangerous even if you got medical attention almost immediately, and the riot didn't look like it cared enough to stop and let him get the attention he needed.

Someone crashed into Blake from behind, sending her to the ground. Blake saw him scramble to his feet, swinging for her dad, before collapsing like a puppet as a bullet struck him. Sienna stomped down the stairs, grabbing Ghira and dragging him towards the building while firing above the crowds head. Ghira was shouting, but couldn't be heard over the roar of the crowd and the howl of guns.

This, this was Hell.

Blake gasped as another woman kicked her in the ribs, not even stopping to comprehend that she had. Again and again, people charged over her without a care, and she could feel bruises starting to form even as she struggled to stand.

Another blow sent her rolling towards the fight, where she could barely see what was happening through the forest of legs. Looking over, she grabbed Row's gun, trying to push herself up as another foot came down at her head.

Blake closed her eyes, and everything died in a rush of sound.

"Hey," Blake squinted as someone spoke down at her, "are you alright? Here," he held out his hand and helped her stand, "you alright? That looked like it was a nasty fall."

Blake looked around, staring in equal parts awe and confusion.

They were standing on a bridge, above them stretched so many it blotted out the sun.

Looking down, Blake saw so many more that she lost sight of them before they ended.

"You alright?"

Blake turned around, opening her mouth and stopping. The young man across from her had several canker sores and was gaunt.

"Are you alright?"

He raised an eyebrow, "'course I am. Why wouldn't I be? If you are, I'll be going."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Blake watched him go, before looking up and heading to find a way up there, trying to keep the worry from mounting. He had said she had fallen, that meant she couldn't be too far right?

Wrong. Blake had lost track of how many stories she had gone up and how long she had been climbing when she came across the arch. Above it was a blue and red glass emblem of some sort of winged creature.

Seeing as it was the closest thing to a building Blake had seen, she entered it Unfortunately, it turned out to be another endless of maze of halls.

It took a while longer for her to find anyone, and just her luck, it happened to be guards.

"Halt! This is a restricted area!"

Blake stopped for half a second as they walked towards her, then she turned tail and ran.

Eventually she ran into a dead end, in the form of a huge drop. Blake looked down, trying to figure out how high she was.

Turning, Blake grabbed the gun and knife from her pockets, pointing them both at the guards shakily. They stopped warily, and Blake tried to keep an eye on them both.

"Hey," a man with black hair and red and blue clothes pushed passed them, clapping them both on the shoulders, he seem… more than the guards in the some way, "good job, you two! Now, why don't you leave the rest to me, the Living Guildpact wants to talk to her."

The two shared a confused look, before nodding and leaving.

The man held up his hands, keeping a jovial smile on his face, "What's your name?"

Blake looked around, pointing the gun at him.

"I'm Ral Zarek," he continued, "what's your name?"

"Blake Belladonna."

"Ok," Ral nodded, "I'm going to take a step forward, ok, Blake?"

She nodded, and he did so.

"Where did you come from, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Menagerie."

"I don't know there, Blake. I'm going to take another step forward."

He did.

"You're in Ravnica, have you ever heard of it?"

Blake shook her head.

"Then we can explain that to you when you meet the rest. I'm-"

"-Going to take another step."

Ral nodded, stepping forward.

"You said the rest, what do you mean?"

"I wasn't joking, Jace does want to talk to you," he didn't ask to take a step forward this time, and he was so close to Blake that she could see the lines on the tubing that went into a gauntlet.

"What's that me-"

Ral lifted a hand and something sprayed into her face. The world span for a second, and then Blake was opening her eyes in a bed, someone holding her hand. Turning, Blake raised an eyebrow.

"Ruby?"

-X Line Break X-

The hardest part of being blind (or close enough she might as well be) at the moment, in Ruby's honest opinion, was the fact that she couldn't do anything related to Artificing... Well, anything that wasn't sketching designs.

Which sucked, because she finally had resources beyond scrap.

Ruby held the new one in front of Drache, using the drake's eyes to examine the design. Grunting in dissatisfaction, Ruby tore it out of the journal her dad had bought her when she got back and ignited it, throwing the burning ball of paper out the window.

Her dad had finally agreed to let her help the Gatewatch, but she needed to start training with Uncle Qrow.

Which meant picking out a weapon.

Swords, spears, knives, axes, bows, none of them seemed right. Even her staff didn't feel comfortable as an actual melee weapon.

Ruby put down the journal and pencil, grabbing Drache from her lap and turning him to face her.

"What do you think?"

The little drake cocked his head, causing Ruby's sight of herself to do the same. He let out confused croon.

"Yeah," Ruby sighed, putting the drake down and running a hand along his spine. He melted into a puddle in her lap, eyes drifting shut and leaving Ruby staring at a huge blur, "thanks anyway, buddy."

Ruby hearing the door of the apartment creak open, pressed her hand against Drache, and absorbed him into her body, feeling the drake 'tattoo' appear on the back of her hand. Planeswalkers had devised many ways to carry preferred Familiars, or in extreme cases, entire living beings on their person to get them through the Blind Eternities and places where they would get strange looks.

Ruby sat by as Lavinia guided the Simic healers in, who walked over, examining Blake's eyes. Ruby heard the elves walk around the bed. Blake's bed, if she joined the Gatewatch.

"Izzet?" One of the tutted.

"Ral," Lavinia answered tersely.

"Of course," she sighed, "I take it the ears are some sort of experiment?"

"Or they found her in one of the old Simic bases," the man said, "It looks like something Momir would have done, and I've never seen an Izzet get involved in biological experimentation."

The was a brief moment of silence as that sunk in, then the female elf spoke.

"Please tell me they found her in a Simac base," she practically pled, "If the Firemind has started biological engineering, the world is doomed."

"She is," Ruby said quickly. It was a good excuse, since Faunus didn't exist on Ravnica… or Zendikar, Dominaria, or any other plane she had visited.

Huh, she wondered what that was about?

"Who are you?"

"Ruby. Blake's my friend."

"And why are you here?"

"It's her apartment."

Say what now?

Apparently one of the elves agreed with her, if the noise of confusion was any indication.

"The Living Guildpact has allowed her to use this apartment since her parents can not be with her."

"That got anything to do with that?"

Ruby sat still, waiting.

"Well? OW! What the hell was that for, Aysi!?"

"Look at her eyes, you insensitive asshat."

"Wha- oh," the man suddenly sounded apologetic, "Sorry. I didn't notice. You're leg, what's wrong with it?"

"Broken," Ruby said, pawing around and finding her journal and pencil and starting a new design. Maybe a scythe like Uncle Qrow's?

Ruby started with a rough outline of a crescent, or, at least, she hoped it was a crescent. She would need to bring Drache back out once they left.

Foot fall came from the group, and something dug into her cast, breaking it open. A pair of hands cupped her half healed leg, and something that felt like cool water covered her leg. Looking up, Ruby activated her mana sight and saw the green mana shimmer along her leg. After a minute, the person stood up and helped Ruby to her feet. Ruby tested the foot gingerly. No pain.

"There," the man said, "that should fix that at least. I can't do anything about your eyes unfortunately."

"They're getting better."

"That's good at the very least. Aysi, how's that going?"

"Done, she should be waking up soon."

"Thank you two kindly," Lavinia said, the three adults moving towards the door, "Ruby, remember that Gideon wants to see you both when she's awake."

Ruby nodded absentmindedly, allowing Drache out and back on her lap as she worked on the design. After fifteen minutes, according to the loudly ticking clock, Ruby lifted up the design with a smile. A sniper-scythe, she would be able to fight, and shoot spells and bullets. Perfect.

Ruby grabbed Drache, dancing with the little drake and enjoying the return to a full range of movement as she did so.

"What do you think we should call her, buddy? I'm thinking Crescent Rose."

Ruby nearly dropped Drache when Blake groaned.

Ok, honestly, she had dropped him. He started beating his wings vigorously in an attempt to stay aloft.

Ruby migrated to the wooden chair at Blake's bedside, taking the Faunus's hand and waiting for her to wake up. Drache flew right behind her, allowing Ruby a once in the lifetime view of the back of her head in real time.

Blake's eyes flickered open, and she turned her head towards Ruby.

"Ruby?"

"Hey."

"I had a really weird dream."

"What about?"

"There was a riot in Atlas, and I got caught up in it, then I was in a huge city."

A… riot?

Oh.

Oh no.

Ruby jumped from her seat, practically dragging Blake behind her as she ran for the older Planeswalkers.

Hopefully they would know a way to get Blake back to her family before they freaked out too much. Giddy and Nissa hadn't, but that had been six month ago and there were two new ones.

If not, they would have to have Blake call her parents from Patch.

Either way, this wasn't a conversation she was looking forward to.

-X Line Break X-

"So, you can go from one world from another."

"Yep."

"And my daughter is like you."

"Yep."

"And you want her to go to Signal so she can stay close to two others like her and help if anything goes wrong in the multiverse."

"Yep. This food is delicious, Mr. Rose!"

"Xiao-Long," the other man at the table said, watching the kids playing, including Ghira's daughter.

"Huh?"

"My last name is Xiao-Long. Rose was my wife's last name… Ruby's mother's," it sounded like he was tearing the words out from somewhere deep inside.

For what it was worth, the redhead caught the unspoken message, redirecting her attention to the burger in front of her for a moment.

"Can I just call you Tai? I'm not big on formalities."

"Yeah. Can I call you Chandra?"

"Of cou-"

"Sun!"

Ruby was running around, trying to bat the Faunus boy with her staff and yelling at him to give the golden rod he had grabbed from the shed in the back. The effect was ruined by her giggles as he took off up a tree.

"Blake! Blaaaaake! Help me, I can't climb up there and get it!"

"What makes you think I know how to climb a tree?"

Ruby stopped at that, looking like the idea of a kid not knowing how to climb a tree was an insult to the world, before running over to the grill, where the green clad woman and a white clad man were sitting at the table and talking to Qrow.

"Nissa! Sun stole my repository and Blake can't climb trees!"

"I can't climb up it either, remember?" Nissa moved her hand in front of her eyes.

"Oh," Ruby looked lost for a second, before plopping down and glaring in the general direction of the tree.

How had she been chasing Sun?

"Planeswalkers are massive beacons of mana, since we're drawing it from multiple planes," Chandra explained in a stage whisper, "she was following that. She knows where he is, but can't climb up on her own because she can't see the branches."

Ah. Right.

"Can you show me any actual evidence of all this? I mean, Blake showing up on Patch is pretty convincing, but anything else?

"Yeah," Chandra wheeled herself out from the table, moving towards the yard, "Hey, kiddos! Want to see a party trick?"

Ghira watched as they crowded around the wheelchair bound woman, only for her to gesture for them to back up, pulling her goggles over her eyes. Looking over, he leaned towards Kali.

"What do you think? About Blake going here?"

"I," Kali sighed, "I don't know. I don't like the idea of her being so far from home, especially if she is going to be in danger, but I'm worried she might run off and join the Fang if she stays."

Ghira nodded, diverting his eyes away from Kali so he could watch Chandra.

As of yesterday, Sienna had officially taken his place as leader of the White Fang, after the riot, he just couldn't do it anymore. Forty Faunus dead, ten dead guards, another crippled, Hale had been lynched, and there had been more arrests than he wanted to think about.

What did it achieve? All they did was validate everyone who said Faunus couldn't be trusted. Hurting people wasn't going to get Faunus anything other than people fearing them.

Ghira's eyes shot up as Chandra's hair ignited, her hands moving in circles as she formed a ball of fire.

"They weren't joking."

"It's hard to believe," Tai said, "I've known for a week, and the idea that magic could exist still blows my mind."

Ghira looked over at the other man. There were light bags under his eyes, and he was watching the pyrotechnics with a sharp eye.

"How do you feel about this?"

"I don't know," Tai sighed, "I'm not any happier about the idea of Ruby being in danger, but Gideon," he jerked his chin towards the man sitting next to Nissa, "pointed out that if they want to, there's nothing we can really do to stop Ruby and Blake from running off and doing it on their own."

"Anything else?"

"I'm proud of her," Tai admitted, "how many parents can say their kid has helped save an entire world?"

Ghira chuckled slightly, watching as Chandra leaned back the best she could.

"Every parent tells their kid that they're one of a kind, but I guess we can say that truthfully. 'One in a million have a spark, and only a few of those will actually become a Planeswalker', That's a bit more than we expec- Whoa!"

Ghira stood up as Chandra threw the ball at one of the trees, skimming above Sun's head. The boy fell back, plummeting towards the ground.

There was a flash of red light and the next thing Ghira knew, Sun was landing on his feet, arms spread wide. Ruby's repository glistening in the sun.

"And he sticks the landi- HEY!"

Sun fell over laughing as Ruby tackled him to the ground, grabbing the rod and running behind Blake as Sun flipped back up and went to chase after her.

"Blake, protect me from the evil man!"

"Oh, I'm evil now!?"

"Leave me out of th-" Blake was cut off as Sun barreled into her, sending all three Planeswalkers tumbling to the ground.

"Quick! Drache! Bring that back to my shed!"

Who was she talking to? Wait, where did the rod go?
