Who the HELL do you think I am?!
Ruby awoke with a startle, glancing around to make sure everything was still in order. Yang sleeping heavily as per usual. She looked outside the cave entrance at the sky above, seeing it was still dark out.
That dream again...what the hell is it supposed to mean? Why do I keep having it?
The thought puzzled the young girl, as she laid her back down and stared up at the dark and damp cave ceiling, with the hopes that her eyes would eventually flutter their way closed and she would re-arrive in the realm of dreams. As she glanced at the ceiling, she began to re-imagine her mysterious dream, soon no longer being in a cave, but in her young mind, the heavenly and unknown beauty of the skys above. The lights in the sky captivating her more and more with each passing second. She was in awe, this breathtaking atmosphere was almost dream like, as she reached out to touch one of the glimmering lights, her surroundings began shake violently as she quickly fell from the sky and landed back into reality, where the ground really was shaking violently.
She arose rapidly and darted her way to her sister, shaking her awake.
"YANG! THE GROUND IS...SHAKING!" She yelled at her sister, who only opened one eye, clearly still half asleep,
"Oh..hey Rubes...w-what...what's up..? Nnngghh...5 more minutes kay..?" she muttered like a drunken idiot, before closing her eyes again, only to quickly rise from her sleeping bag moments later.
"RUBY WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"
"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! YOU TELL ME!" The rose replied, both girls clearly shocked and confused. The hurried up and glanced out the cave to see what all the commotion was, what they saw though was anything but what they were expecting.
"Is that a giant robot?!" Yang asked in confusion as the two girls watched a giant robotic man walking past their cave, the blonde quickly ran out of the cave and reached for the biggest rock she could find, chucking it at the machine and hitting it in the back of the head. "Hey bastard! Watch where ya' walking! You're ruining my beauty sleep!" Yang yelled out as the Gun Man turned to face her, drawing it's sword. When the blonde laid eyes on the blade, she smirked at the challenge and gesturing to Ruby. "Sis! My sword!" it took the red haired girl a moment or two to get the message, but when she did, she quickly chucked the sheathed blade to her sister, who caught it one handed without even looking. "Let's go you big ol' ugly scrap of metal!" she taunted as she drew her sword and pointed it at the giant mech, clearly stating that she was itching for a fight.
The two combatants stared each other down for a moment or two, before an explosion occurred behind the giant gunman, causing it to slowly plummet and smash into the ground, incapacitated.
"What the…?" the two girls asked in unison as they witnessed the spectacle. From within the smoke and dust, emerged a woman, armed with a sniper rifle in her hands and a sword on her back.
"Y-Yang? Who's that..?" Ruby asked her sister in confusion, hoping she'd know the answer.
"I-I don't know sis…but get behind me just in case." The blonde replied as she gently moved in front of Ruby, acting as a shield for the little girl.
While the two sisters shared that exchange, they both watched as the mysterious black haired girl threw her sniper rifle on her back and pulled out a small handgun. She pried open the mouth of the beast and pointed the weapon down into it. Firing three shots, and then hopping down onto the sandy earth, walking towards the sister duo, Yang throwing up her sword and pointing the blade at the stranger.
"You must either be brain dead, or suicidal if you thought you could take down a Gun Man with nothing more than that sword." The stranger stated as she knocked the blade out of the blonde's hands with ease.
"Who the hell are you? And what on Earth was that thing?"
"You'll have your answers soon enough, but now's not the time, they'll be more coming. We have to move, grab your things and let's go."
"We're not going anywhere until we get answers." The blonde crossed her arms in protest.
"Are you two seriously that stupid?! Do you not value your lives in the slightest?"
"I taught my little sister never to go anywhere with strangers unless she wants to be raped or killed, which I can assure you, she wants neither."
The stranger grunted in annoyance, holding the grip of the pistol even tighter now, the temptation to cut her losses and kill them here and now was tempting, but she couldn't go back to the village without them.
"Fine! My name is Blake, and that 'thing' as you call it, is actually called a Gun Man, a very powerful weapon controlled by the Spiral King. Happy?"
The blonde processed the information for a moment or two, before eyeing the stranger up and down. "For now." She turned to her sister, "Go get our stuff sis, quickly." She watched as her little sister quickly ran back to the cave and collecting the very little belongings they had, handing half of it to her big sister while she carried the other half.
"Lead the way….Blake." Yang stated as she threw the makeshift bag over her shoulder.
