5 months after Yang disappeared.

A motorcycle rides up in front of this large nightclub. It's Yang's good old bumblby. The rider is not as familiar as the vehicle though as Yang is not the one riding it. On the yellow motorcycle is a young girl in a black skirt with red undertones. The most notable feature is her large red cloak with its hood up, covering the girl's black hair with red highlights and her silver eyes.
Her name was Ruby Rose.
She walked into the club and headed straight for the bar. She sat at a stool in front of the bartender. The bartender has a large beard, a red tie and a vest instead of the full suit all the security wears. The bartender looks at her and raises a brow.
"Aren't you a little too young to drink?" The bartender asked. Ruby grabs one of the two photos in her pocket.
"I would be, if that's what I were looking for." She said before sliding the photo across the table.
It's a picture of Yang's mother, Raven Branwen. The bartender picked up the photo and saw
that underneath it was a 100 lien banknote. He slid the bank note into his pocket and looked at the photo.
"Sorry Miss. Whoever this person is, they ain't in Vale. What's her name?" He asked, shooting a glance back to Ruby.
"Raven Branwen." Ruby said. She was stonefaced, barely showing the worry inside her.
"Ah. I see." The bartender said, looking back at the photo. "Raven Branwen is damned good at hiding. From what I hear, she's recently been keeping to her tribe outside the walls. 'Fraid that's all I know." He said, handing the photo back. She picked it up and slid another picture onto the bar.
"How about her?" Ruby asked. The bartender looked at it and immediately recognized her.
It was Yang Xiao-Long. He picked up the rocket-bat from underneath the bar and slammed it against Ruby's head sending her flying against the wall. It mecha-shifted into a rocket launcher.
The crowd had quickly left, leaving a nightclub with only the bartender, security, and Ruby.
"Well, if it has to be like that…" Ruby said, pulling out her scythe, Crescent Rose.

The man in the purple suit is standing next to Yang in front of a young woman, about 17-18.
They're in an alleyway near what appears an abandoned street. The young woman had a light olive brown skin with black hair and green eyes. The man in purple, who now wore black gloves and a purple scarf, looked at Yang, who had a large purple fur coat over her. "Take care of her."
He said, his voice as cold as the air nipping at their faces. Yang pulled back her fist and flowed massive amounts of her aura into it. She slammed it against the chest of the young girl who flew backwards into the street and died immediately. Yang walked over to the girl who now lay dead in the middle of the street. She knelt down and closed the girls eyes. The man in purple watched intently, waiting. Yang stood up and walked forward away from the man with purple eyes.
"Yang, come back here!" The man yelled out. Yang looked back at him and kept walking. The man was now angry, stepping into the street. "Get back her Yang!" He yelled out. Yang looked back at him again. Just in time to watch as a bus swerved out of the way as to not hit the dead girl in the street. The side of the tail of the bus slammed into the man in purple, going straight through his aura and sending him flying. Yang turned around and walked away from the crash.
She took off the large purple overcoat, revealing blue jeans, yellow sneakers, a yellow tank top and a black leather jacket. She walked into the trainstation and waited for a train. She needed to go home.

Ruby was watching the nightly news waiting for her dad to come home from his day of search.
She was hoping for anything about Yang but her hope has been wearing thin. Three knocks came from the door. Ruby raised a brow and went to the door and opened it.
There stood a crying Yang, eyeliner streaming down her face. Ruby stood there for a moment before hugging Yang, letting her sister weep into her shoulder. Ruby gently guided Yang inside and shut the door.
After about 5 minutes of crying, Yang pulled away from Ruby and sat on the couch. Ruby sat next to her kindly.
"I'm sorry." Yang said, hugging her knees. Ruby rubbed Yang's back sympathetically.
"It's alright." Ruby said with a smile. Silence permeated throughout the room for a bit.
"You're not gonna ask anything?" Yang asked, confused as to why Ruby has said nothing.
"You'll tell me when you're ready." Ruby said with a somber smile. Yang hugged her again.
Ruby hugged back.
Taiyang walked into the house. "Rubes? I'm ho-" Taiyang stopped as he saw Yang's blonde hair. "Y-Yang..?" He asked. Yang turned around to look at him.
"D-Dad…" She said under her breath. Tai quickly went to her and hugged her tight.
"I missed you." He said, tears flowing down his face. "I missed you so much." He continued, stressing the last two words.
"He made me make the calls…" Yang said once they parted from the hug. "To make sure you couldn't call the police…"
"How?" Tai asked as Ruby listened. Yang was silent in response. It was clear to Ruby that Yang didn't want to continue.
"Let's just let her rest Dad, okay?" Ruby said. Tai nodded and led Yang back to her room. It was practically untouched. Tai closed the door of her room behind him as he left it, leaving Yang inher room, alone. She slowly walked to the bed and laid down in it, covering herself in old blankets that were kept clean. She cried again.

Ruby flew back and her scythe fell out of her hands. Junior stood over her with his bat in his hands over his head, ready to smash it into her skull. That's when a large red orange blade's side got slammed into his head, sending him flying away from Ruby. He landed unconscious.
Ruby watched the blade and her eyes trailed it to its owner. A large man with short black hair and olive brown skin. He looked at her and smiled.
"What are you doing in a place like this Ms..?" The man said, curious as why a 14 year old was in a nightclub, fighting.
"Rose. Ruby Rose." She said. The man nodded.
"Daichi. Yatsuhashi Daichi."
