Chapter 2: Li Belladonna
Black the beast descends from shadows…..
Yellow beauty burns gold…..
Red leaves descended over the peaceful forest of forever fall. The night was quiet, peaceful, and seemingly harmless but a lone shadow is charging through the red forest and it's on a mission. Not far away a train is approaching with the kingdom of Vale's latest shipment of dust, ordered by Weiss Schnee herself but the train is in trouble for the White Fang has boarded the train, stealing the dust, and are preparing to execute the passengers.
The lone shadow is now looming over a cliff waiting for the train. The fragmented moon of remnant now shines over the shadow reveling a young female cat faunas wearing a white tee shirt with a blue jean vest, blue jean short shorts with black leggings, a pair of hiking shoes, a purple scarf, and black bands wrapped around her arms with a red bracelet on her right wrist given to her by someone special to her. As her ruffled black hair and cat ears flowed with the wind and her amber eye's shined in the moonlight the train approaches from below the cliff.
"Ok time to get this party started" the young girl thought to herself as she jumped and slid down the cliff. Once she was far enough down the cliff she jumped off the cliff while activating her gauntlets known as Gen Break, she landed on the train and used her gauntlets to grab the roof of the train and then ran across the train.
"There, a way in!" she thought as she opened one of the cart's roof doors and jumped in. Once in she saw two White Fang guards with their backs turned she then slowly snuck up behind and knocked them both out by bashing their heads together.
The girl then dusted her hands off and thought "Ha, nailed it! Now I better get to the crew members before these idiots kill them." She moved through each train cart stealthily knocking any White Fang guard out with nothing but her strength and as she approached the second to last train cart that led to the prisoner's she tried to think of a plan of attack but was caught by a White Fang guard and his flash light.
"You're a long way from home little girl" the guard snarled. The girl then stood up clasped her hand into fists, pinkie to pointer finger, with a bone cracking noise, readied Gen Break and said "New plan, fist's first questions later."
In the cart holding the prisoners the guards heard noises coming from the cart behind them. It was the sounds of gun shots, screams of pain, and punches with bone breaking force. The door then started a slamming noise like someone was breaking in. After three slams the door flew to the other side of the cart and revealed the brawling cat girl who said, "Alright" then she cracked her neck and finished, "who's next?"
The White Fang guards charged at her thinking how tough could this little girl be but ultimately fell by a barrage of right cross's, left hooks, jabs and upper cuts. One guard was left standing and shaking the girl then looked at him with a smirk on her face and said, "Boo" and the guard ran away screaming.
The girl then released the prisoners and told them to get to the back of the train and jump out and when she got to the front of the train to stop it she found the White Fang lieutenant with some kind of chain gun with a chainsaw function.
The lieutenant turned to look at her and said while laughing "Ah the traitor's daughter is here I've heard so much about you, Li Belladonna" Li was shocked by what he said "Traitor's daughter? How does he know my name? That doesn't matter right now I got to stop this train I'll figure this out later" Li thought to herself.
Li then readied Gen Break and said "Let's dance." The Lieutenant then fired his chain gun at Li but she outran the bullets. The Lieutenant's sword then shifted into the chainsaw as Li charged at him. He swung his sword horizontally but Li dodged it by sliding on her legs below the chainsaw. The Lieutenant then swung the sword behind him but hit nothing.
"What? Where did she go?" he said out load and then Li said "Right behind you" and before the Lieutenant could strike her down Li uppercut's him so hard he was knocked out even before he landed. "Huh that was easier than I thought" Li thought to herself.
Li then took a look at the controls and found them damaged "Damn it! Now what, this train is going to crash into the station" Li thought. She thought and thought and then she got an idea, "I got it." She used the force of her gauntlets shadow shotgun blast to launch herself through the train window and flew a good distance before landing on the tracks in front of the train. Li then channeled the power within her and bashed her gauntlets together and on contact her black hair and cat ears turned gold, flames came out of her now gold hair, and her normally amber eyes turned into a deep crimson red.
She held her hands out and the train made impact and she left dent's in the front of the train but the train pushed her and the force was strong enough to leave a trail of dented stone below Li's feet as she was being pushed. She growled at the force of the train pushing her.
"Man this thing is stronger than it looks" Li thought and then looked behind her to see she was quickly approaching the station and if she didn't stop it now people were going to get hurt.
"Guess I have no choice, Aunt Weiss is gonna kill me" Li thought as she readied a left hook and screamed in rage as she punched the train with enough force to knock almost half the train off the track.
As she walked towards the train she thought "I hope that wasn't expensive" then she jumped into the station and in front of her was a white hooded girl with red and white hair and silver eyes.
"Li?" the white hooded girl said in confusion "Is that you?" she asked while tilting her head.
"Oh hey Mei" Li answered her cousin and as she got up her gold hair and cat ears returned to being black and her crimson red eyes turned amber again.
"You dolt what are you doing here?" Mei asked with a stern tone in her voice and her hands on her hips. Li's ears flatten as she looked down and sighed.
"It's a long story" she answered
Morning, the Belladonna Xiao Long house, Li's room
"Li! Time for lunch" Li's Mom, Blake Belladonna, yelled to her while she was reading her favorite graphic novel, Red vs Blue.
"Coming Mom" she yelled back and thought "Man I was just getting to the part when Carolina came in." She then got out of bed and stretched a little, she was still tired after last night with the train and remembered what she promised her cousin, Mei Schnee.
"Alright Mei if you promise to not tell my parent's about this I'll give you three boxes of cookies at the reunion." After a brief pause to think Mei answered "Fine! But if I don't get cookies I'm spilling the beans to everyone, deal?" Li immediately responded, "Deal!"
"Mei never ceases to amaze me with her love of junk food" Li thought to herself. Once she got to the dining room of her old house she saw her mother but not Yang.
"Where's Yang?" Li asked her Mom who answered "She'll be home soon Li, work had her busier than usual" "I see" Li responded.
Li saw that her Mom made sandwich's with vegetables and their they sat until Yang came home. "What were you up to dear?" Blake asked her daughter.
Li then answered "I was reading Red vs Blue" and her Mom shook her head and said "you may like to read like me but you and Yang love action stories" and they both had a good laugh after that.
After another pause Li decided to ask "When did Yang ask you to marry her Mom?" After taking a sip of her tea Blake said "Well she asked me when we went on vacation in Patch, where your Grandfather lives…."
About 18 years ago
Blake was relaxing on the soft sandy beach of Patch reading Ninjas of Love. Right when the story was about to get good her girlfriend of five years, Yang Xiao Long, hugged her from and asked "having a good time Blakey?"
Blake then nuzzled into Yang's cheek and said "Of course I am my sunshine" and then they quickly pecked each other on the lips it wasn't long or deep but passionate enough to show their love for each other.
After a few minutes of nothing but enjoying each other's presence until Yang spoke up "Blakey can you walk with me at the shoreline please" and Blake answered "Of course Yang."
After a few minutes of walking hand in hand the sun began to set over the ocean and Yang turned Blake around so they could look at each other's eyes. "I love you Blake with all my heart" Yang told her.
Blake laughed and said "I already know that Yang and I love you too" after saying that Yang had a nervous grin on her face and Blake knew there was something on her mind "so what's on your mind Yang?" Yang then got down on one knee and had what appeared to be a black velvet box in her hands.
Yang then said "I've never been good at speeches so I'll just cut to the chase" Yang then presented the box in front of Blake and said "Blake Belladonna will you marry me?" then Yang opened the box reveling a gold ring with a purple amethysts.
Blake couldn't believe it "Yang Xiao Long asked me to marry her!" she thought and then Blake answered her with joy "Of course I'll marry you, dummy!" and their they stood on the beach hugging and crying in happiness and none of them wanted to let go.
Present day
"Who knew Yang could be such a romantic" Li said after hearing her Mom's story.
"Hehe yeah I thought the same thing" Blake responded to her daughter. Not to long after hearing the story Blake and Li heard movement at the door which could only mean one thing, Yang Xiao Long is home.
After the door slammed opened Yang yelled "Honey I'm home!" and Yang then placed her work stuff down and walked over to kiss Blake and then looked at Li.
"Hi little kitty I missed you" Yang then hugged Li tightly who then hugged Yang tightly in return.
"Missed you too Yang" Li responded and then they let go each other so they could eat.
"Let's eat I'm starving after work, man who knew being a mechanic could be tiring and not as fun as being a huntress." Yang said and then began eating.
Blake then spoke up "We got these letters in the mail dealing with the group today Yang." Blake then gave Yang the letters who quickly looked at them. Sense Blake was mainly a stay at home Mom for most of her life when she wasn't a huntress, Blake managed to get time start a political party for Faunus equality and Yang managed help out however she could.
Li then remembered Mei and her deal "Oh Yang can you help me make three boxes of cookies today?" Li asked Yang. Yang always asked Li to call her by her name because Yang wanted to be more of a fatherly figure to Li then a second mother.
"Sure Li why?" Yang asked her daughter who then replied.
"I kind of promised Mei that I would bring her three boxes of cookies during the family reunion tomorrow" Li answered Yang.
"Oh I see" Yang responded "Don't worry I'll help out after lunch ok kitten"
"Thanks Yang" Li responded to Yang.
While they were eating Li thought "Phew my cookie bribe on Mei may actually work! If it doesn't, I'll be in big trouble after last night"
