Hello again chapter 9 is up finally. I do have to say this one took a bit for me to write down since I've been trying to go over the grammar and such so I do apologize it took a little longer. This chapter is what you would say a to be a filler a heartwarming and weird filler with my first attempt with POV so I hope it works well. Like is said last time after my previous chapter, chapter 9 is about the girl of team RWBY talking to the various members to get to know them better, though I couldn't get all of them in this chapter but I will later. Also there will be a twist or two in this chapter you'll see lol. Final words on this this chapter, it will have some history of both the RWBY and Mass Effect worlds so I do hope I got most of it right.
Well time to let ya'll read now hope you enjoy and like always leave any kind of criticism you'd like to be a review or PM :D
P.S YAY FOR VOLUME THREE OF RWBY ITS HERE YAY!
I do NOT own RWBY or Mass Effect in anyway. Mass effect belongs to Bioware and RWBY belongs to RT/Monty Oum.

Chapter.9: Getting aquatinted with a side of...WHAT THE HELL!
-Storage Bay: Time: 11:16 PM: Yang's POV-
"You know if you were to tell me hours ago, that I would end riding on a space ship filled with alien lifeforms which including a separate form of humans and that I would be fighting a crazy alien ex super-agent, who happens to want to bring back an ancient sentient race of killer A.I ('A.K.A Reapers which still sounds creepy to me) and has an army of Geth ('Which are killer robots from what I've learned from a firsthand experience') and an army of Grimm that also seems to be becoming augmented with Geth technology…..then I'd laugh at it thinking you were joking." I mumbled to myself as I walked around to Normandy
"You know kid you really shouldn't talk to yourself, people might think you're crazy. Well more than they already do." I heard as I turned around to see Wrex sitting up besides some locker, like he's been doing since we all got on the Normandy.
Now to say I don't hate him at all, actually I think he's a very skilled fighter. I do though have issues with his need to kill and lack of conscious when he kills unarmed opponents and that he kills for money. I mean I like fighting a lot, but like I told him before we started the mission on Therum. I will only kill if it means that I can keep Weiss, Blake, Ruby and everyone else safe. But maybe I should answer him back now.
"Yah well whatever, it's kind of hard trying to fit in when you look like no one else here. Also that leaked Eden Prime footage really made that hard for me and the others." I explained to Wrex, seriously though because of that damn video anyone who saw it can recognize me or the others within seconds.
"Well think of this way kid, now at least your enemies will know what's coming to them and for those who don't… well they'll be pissing their pants in no time. Especially with that little trick you can do with your body catching on fire." Wrex said to me, personally I couldn't tell if I should take that as a compliment.
"Thanks, it's my semblance….. So any who what are doing here all by yourself? I mean you been next to these locker for the whole time we've been on the ship, don't you… you know want to make some friends?" I asked Wrex because he looks like he could use some friend, so he doesn't look so grumpy all the time.
"Can't say I do, not much of a people person. Beside most don't care to be so why the hell should I try with bias pricks." Wrex bluntly told me, which is kind of sad really. It's like the how Faunus were treated in Vale because of how people perceived them to be like.
"Well… I think you'd be a cool friend to have." I told Wrex as I gave him a smile of reassurance though he seemed to looks at me strangely when I said that.
"Your…serious, do even know what people think of my race?" Wrex asked as I could tell in his voice he had a hint of disbelief and confusing, which I couldn't understand why that would be.
"Nope, I just know that your race is much stronger than most and has a redundant nervous system, which I can say must come in handy when beating the live day lights out of someone." I tell him honestly because I mainly just read over the fighting styles of each species so I didn't know much about any of them.
"Well then I guess I'll have to tell ya so you aren't misinformed by any bias pricks. See my race is seen by a good majority of the other races as violent, bloodthirsty and all around trouble. Which is all true by the way so many of the other races try not to have much interaction with us…. pricks should have let the Rachni kill them all." Wrex explained to me which intrigued me a lot when he mention Rachni.
"What a Rachni?" I asked Wrex, even if I didn't read much about the other races that's one I didn't see in the book.
"Right you don't know that either, well kid take a seat on the ground this will take a bit to explain." Wrex says as I sit down on the ground, Wrex gave me a weird look.
"I was joking you know, you really didn't have to sit on the ground." He said as I just look up at him giving him a smirk.
"Well you said sit down so I did, besides my feet are killing me so get on with the story please." I said happily to Wrex as I became excited for once about history.
"Right… I should probably explain what a Rachni is, well at least what I remember from descriptions. Rachni were bug like creatures that were tall, aggressive, smart and always worked together in groups, which is why the Krogan were 'Uplifted' by the Salarians into the galactic community." Wrex explained which confused me a lot.
"What do mean by that, how could the Rachni be the reason you guys were introduced into the galactic community?" I asked Wrex hoping to get a more clear answer.
"I'll get there but first I'll have to explain a bit about my home world Tuchnaka, you see Tuchnaka was a harsh place to live but we Krogans thrived in it where most would have died. After our people became more advance in technology so did our weaponry which lead to my home world become a nuclear wasteland and not just a regular wasteland. Our people where then reduce to tribes that still waged war against one another." Wrex explained as I felt a bit shocked learning that the Krogans had lived in such a harsh world and life.
"I see… that must have been hard to live with." I said giving Wrex my sympathies.
"Like I said before we thrived in it, but around that time after my planet had been ravaged by nuclear war that when the Salarians found us. They uplifted us and help our people become part of the galactic community, so we deiced to repay them back and they already knew what they needed us for." Wrex took a deep breath then continued.
"As I said before the Rachni were the reason we became apart the galactic community, which was because the Rachni had become a plague for the races. They need us to fight them since the Rachni world was just like ours harsh and unforgiving this came to be known as the Rachni war." Wrex explained as I started to get the whole picture on the Krogans.
"So you fought the war and won it I'm guessing. Why would anyone hate you all for that I would think they would all be grateful to you?" I asked him become more confused why people would hate the very specie that saved them from what I'm understanding.
"Because…. kid once that was over we became the problem, the Krogans breed like a wild fire and because that we began to expand taking over other worlds for our growing population. After a while the council took noticed which then became the start of the Krogan rebellion. We fought hard and were winning some most and losing other but our breeding habits kept our number steady, but because of those damn Salarian we lost." Wrex said as I became more and more interested by his story but also more confused with every new piece of information.
"What could the Salarians have done to Krogans? From what I've gathered your race should have won with its…breeding habits." I asked as I shivered from the mental image of Krogans breeding.
"That's because those damn Salarians made the one thing that has crippled the Krogan to this very day…. the Genophage." Wrex said with a distain in is voice as I remember before we went on the Therum mission a while ago that Blake had said something about it.
"I remember Blake mention that, what is the…. Genophage if you don't mind me asking?" I asked Wrex hoping I didn't overstep my boundaries with him.
"I guess I should tell you. The Genophage was a made by the Salarians as I said, they reason they made it was because they believed it was their fault the Krogan Rebellion happen since they were the ones who uplifted us. The Turians though were one that used it on us though since they were keener on immediate action. When that damn thing infected us our number began to dwindle as our new born would die and most wouldn't even make it after the first stage of pregnancy, this is what defeated us and though the council still let us live in the community after that …we're pretty much hated or looked down upon." Wrex explain as I felt a sense of shock and disgust about what happen with the Krogan.
"But, your race it's still here so that a good thing right?" I asked trying to see if there is a good side to this
"No, living with the Genophage for so long has mad most Krogan developed a kind of fatalism making them not even care if they live or die. Most Krogan have accepted our fate, some tried to change the ways of the Krogan wanting to focus just on breeding for at least a one generation. But that ideal never went anywhere." Wrex said as my heart sank knowing that there was a race out there dying out.
I could see why the Genophage happen but for it to go so long to the point where they could die out…it made me sick to my stomach and that doesn't happen usually. "I…I'm so sorry that happen to your people." I said as my voice trembled a bit.
"Well that's life kid sometime it good to you, other time it just screw you over." Was all Wrex could say
"I see…can I ask why do you keep calling me kid. I'm pretty much an adult if you can't tell." I said to Wrex wanting to change the subject quickly.
"Well when you live as long as I have everyone else just seem like a child to you well except for the Asari as you may know." Wrex answer me which brought up another question.
"How long have you been alive for anyway Wrex, when you mention the Rachni war and Krogan rebellion it seems like that happen a long time ago and that you were alive around then." I asked as I had noticed that Wrex seem to talk about those event like he was alive around that time.
"My father was alive during the Rachni war, I was born around the beginning of the Krogan rebellion I believe so the Genophage hadn't been created yet. I guess you don't know but Krogan can live a very long time just like the Asari, I've been around for at least three centuries." Wrex told me as my eye widen at how old he really is.
"Wait…three centuries that mean you like…like um?" I said freaking out comprehending how old he is.
"Over three hundred years old yeah I know shocking isn't it?" Wrex said to me as he began to smirk at my antics.
"Yeah I mean I remember Liara telling everyone during the debriefing that the Asari lived for long time I thought they were the only one. You must have like a hundred stories you could tell." I said still pretty stunned by how old Wrex is.
"I do but for now I think I'm done telling stories, beside don't you have your friends to hang out with or something." Wrex said as I got back up on my feet stretching.
"Yeah I do but they are doing their own thing right now beside Wrex you're my friend to." I said to Wrex as I gave him a big smile.
"You still want to be my friend even after what I told you about the Krogan?" Wrex said a bit confused by my statement.
"Yah beside I don't think you're a bad guy, actually I think your pretty nice so yeah were friends." I told Wrex not really understating why he was confused by that.
To my surprised Wrex just started to laugh. "You know you and your little friend are very strange, sure why not I guess we can be friend beside you already prove you're a strong as Krogan so you have my respect." Wrex said as he gave me a nod.
"Thank Wrex that's nice of you to say." I said giving him a smile
"Hey kid you know I noticed that you like those gauntlets of you're a lot, but I wanted to ask if maybe you'd like to learn some tricks with the shotguns we use here." Wrex said as he pulled out his unloaded shotgun and handed it to me.
"Sure I'd like that where do we start!" I said exited again to learn.
"Well kid let move a little toward the center of the room here then I show ya." Wrex said as he moved to the center of the storage bay. I followed a seconds later but with a good feeling this was a start of an ass kicking friendship.
-Second Floor of the Normandy: Time: 11:48 PM: Blake's POV-
As I walk around the second floor, I can't help but think of the event that have transpired today. We somehow ended up in a complete new place, one with its own human that have transcended into the star and join a galactic community filled with many alien species. I do think this place is amazing but the attitude of the other species for the most part is mixed when come to the humans. Even though no one other than my friends know that I am a Faunas I still can feel the hate coming of many individuals of the various species including the human here which makes me feel like I use to when I was younger on Remnant. I must say it's very disheartening to think that most people don't trust Yang, Weiss, Ruby and I simply because of that leaked video of Eden Prime.
This brings up another question I've been trying to figure out, who could have uploaded that video. Saren couldn't have doesn't seem like that tech type, then it could be an outside party but what for. Though my last guess is one that bring much worry to me that it could be her….Kianna Graves, the crazy woman that was helping the Grimm become stronger, now that I think of it makes sense she may be the one. Since the fight with that thing…1872 I've been becoming more concern at what that mad woman is planning on doing, I just hope for our sakes that we can stop her, Saren and Benezia. With Elizabeth, her crew and Ruby, Weiss, Yang and I we should be able to stop them… I hope.
"Ugh…damn migraines." I heard a voice say as I immediately turn to the sources which was Kaidan holding his head with pained expression on his face, this got me worried.
"Kaidan are you okay I'll go get doctor Chakwas!" I said as I was about to make my way only for Kaidan to grab my arm.
"No wait you… won't need to do that it's normal for me." Kaidan said confusing me what he meant by that.
"What do mean, migraines aren't normal, why would you say that?!" I said giving Kaidan a skeptical look.
"Right probably haven't learned about the implants biotic get." Kaidan said as his face gave off a look of relief now.
"I remember you saying all biotics get one to help your abilities growth but not much else." I admitted though this was starting to get my attention as I wanted to know more about it now.
"Well for starter like I said before every biotic get one to help enhance control over the user abilities so that we don't end up hurting ourselves or others. I have a L2 implant while most biotic now have L3 implants." Kaidan explained as I wonder what the differences were.
"What the differences between the two?" I asked Kianna
"Honestly the L3 give the user a better control also they are a lot safer." Kaidan explains as the word safer caught my attention.
"What do mean by safer Kaidan" I asked confused by the word.
"Just as I said safer, you see with the L2 implants it helped many young kids such as myself when we first began to show signs of having biotic abilities, but there were…issues and they were not pretty. Just to keep it short there was many health issues with the L2 from illness all the way to being crippled for life. I'm pretty lucky I guess I just get migraines." Kaidan said as I felt appalled about what this L2 implant did.
"But isn't there a way to fix it maybe or change out the implants?" I asked him
"Sorry to say Blake but sadly no, once you're implanted with the chip you're stuck with it….I remember a friend of mine who had a L2 implant like me. He couldn't handle what the L2 had done to him so he… kill himself." Kaidan said as he had a hint of sadness in his voice. "Sorry I don't why I just told you that." he apologized
"No, that's okay sometimes it's best to talk to people you barley know about these things, it's show that you are willing to trust them…. I will say Kaidan you're a pretty nice guy so I do apologize in the future when Yang start to tease you. My girlfriend sometimes doesn't know when to stop… but that's why I love her." I said as I began to smile remembering the day when Yang and I became a couple.
-Flash Back: Blake's POV-
"Again I want to say that I am so sorry about this." Yang said to me as she kept bowing to me
"It's alright Yang like I said before it was my fault for even trying to stop you in the first place. Now please just stop bowing people are looking." I said I noticed people staring at me and Yang.
"Okay then but I did say I will make it up to you, so as my way of apologizing I'm taking you out for dinner there!" Yang said to me as she pointed to a sea food restaurant called 'Le'Fish' which also happen to be a very expensive place.
"Yang we don't have to go there that place is known to be very expensive." I said trying not to be rude about Yang's gesture.
"Actually, I already got us seats you see a while ago I helped the manager of the restaurant catch a crook who robbed them. As a reward she offered to give me and a friend free seats with everything paid for." Yang explained as I could feel much excitement knowing I will be eating very well made tuna…yes delicious tuna.
"That sound great…. but why didn't you take Ruby or Weiss instead just out of curiosity." I asked as I mentally face palmed myself for asking a rude question like that curious or not.
"Well you know Weiss and I would get into an argument don't get me wrong me and her are great friend now but still we'd fight each other throughout the whole dinner. Ruby I think you can guess would not care for sea food, she's a cookie girl for life." Yang answered which made sense to me.
"Good point, so what are we waiting for let get going inside?" I said as Yang and I walked up to the front of the restaurant where a hostess was waiting.
"Ah Miss Long, my employer said you would be coming tonight, I guessing this young lady here is your lovely date then?" the hostess asked as I began to blush madly.
"You got it, so can we go in now?" Yang said as I blush even more from Yang answer
"Yes you may a waiter inside will bring you to your table." The hostess said as Yang and I made our way in to be meet by a large man.
"Ah I see so you are the one I will be serving tonight. My name is Travis and if you would please I will be leading you to your 'private' seats now." The waiter Travis said as he lead Yang and I to a separate room away from everyone else as we seated ourselves.
"Do you already know what you will be having tonight?" The man asked us
"I think I do, how about you Blake?" Yang asked me
"Yes I already do as well." I answered Yang
"Good, then I'll have the lobster and shrimp special and a Doctor Duster for a drink." Yang said as the waiter Travis wrote down her order.
"And I will have the Tuna deluxe special with ice tea." I said as I remembered looking up the menus online once out of curiosity. Travis wrote my order down, then took our menus that we didn't even use.
"Very good I will be back soon with your drink and food until then enjoy they quality time with one another." The waiter Travis said as he left and I began to blush madly again.
"Well I guess we'll just have to pass time until our food and drink are here, though I totally called it when you ordered the Tuna deluxe special." Yang said to me as she gave me that smirk of her… the same smirk from the girl that I had slowly fallen in love with.
"So what, I like tuna it taste good and is filling also I had already guess you were going to have a Doctor Duster for your drink, you seem to like that stuff a lot." I said back to Yang getting a laugh from her.
"I guess you did but can you blame me they just taste so good and it gives me a boost of energy." Yang said back to me playfully defending her love of Doctor Duster.
"That may be true and all but it's only a small boost then which after it runs out, you always get fatigued from it. Which is why if you remember your sister Ruby, Weiss and I decided for you to not have them anymore." I reminded her. "Beside if you became fatigued when were on a mission fighting Grimm and you got hurt I don't…don't know what I do then." I said as I began to tear up at the thought of Yang being hurt or worse.
"Hey, hey don't worry Blake I promise you that I won't let that happen beside I can't just leave my sister, Weiss or you what would you three do without my dashing charms." Yang said to me as she held my hand with hers giving me a big smile of reassurance.
"Thanks Yang, you know your good at making a girl feel better." I said playfully to Yang
"Well I do my best… listen Blake there something I've been meaning to tell you for as long as you and I have known each other I just wanted to say I-" Whatever Yang was going to say next was interrupted as the waiter Travis came in with our order.
"Your food and drinks ladies." The waiter Travis said as he gave us our food which smelled extremely mouthwatering especially the Tuna I got.
"I'll leave you two be now and my employer tell me to tell you that she hope's you and your friend enjoy the all paid meal." The waiter Travis said as he made his way out leaving me and Yang alone again.
"We should start eating now, I can tell from the look in your eyes that you're craving the Tuna." Yang joked with me as she began to eat her dinner as I then began to eat mine and to say this with pure honesty it was…. glorious.
After me and Yang had finished our food and Drinks a different waiter came by to pick up the empty dishes and glasses. Once she was gone the next few moment would be forever engraved into my memories as one of my happiest one's.
"Hey Blake I said I needed to tell you something important." Yang told me as her voice became more serious than I've ever heard before.
"What… would it be Yang, you did say you wanted to tell me ever since we've know each other." I said as my heart kept beating faster and faster hoping this is what I wanted her to tell.
"Blake…. When you and I first met I honesty though you were a bit standoffish." That sentence made my heart sink a little. "BUT…. as I got to know you more I learned you're a kind, smart and beautiful person." Yang said as she moved her seat next to mine, she then grabbed my hands with hers and looked me straight in the eyes at this point my heart was sky rocketing.
"Blake what I'm trying to say is….I…I…I love you Blake and I know for a fact I truly do." Yang said as my heart now had gone into hyper speed from the pure joy from what I was feeling so I did what I though was best in the situation.
I quickly wrap my arms around Yang's neck and say "Yang… I love you too with all my heart." I said to her as I locked my lip with her making it the best apologue from someone I could have ever receive.
Our lips were locked together into one for a good ten seconds before we part them. "Blake, I may not be the best at this mush gushy stuff but… I want to be with you for a long time. Will you be my girlfriend?" Yang asked me as I just hugged her tightly
"Yes Yang I will as I feel the same about you… so I guess we should be making it back to the dorms now before Ruby, Weiss or Mrs. GoodWitch start to wonder why we're out after curfew." I said to Yang
"Hey this was a risk I was willing to take, beside we could… have some private time." Yang said to me as a blush a little from what she was suggesting.
"Not now, we have to get back okay." I said to Yang as she got a look of disappointment on her face. "But, I will say we will be doing 'THAT' very soon and for a very long time…sweetie." I said as I had a good ideal where I could take her so she and I could have some 'quality' time together and the look on Yang's face of pure joy made it only more wonderful.
"Okay I can work with that…. my kitty goddess." Yang said to me as I began to get warmer from the nickname she gave me and it felt right.
"I think we should get going now come on." I said as Yang and I got out from our seats interlocking are hand together. As we walked out the restaurant the hostess and Travis the waiter were giving us a thumbs up which made Yang and I giggle.
As Yang and I walked back to Beacon we decided to keep our relationship a secret from everyone for the time being. I knew we'd probably get yelled at by Mrs. Goodwitch for being late and interrogated by Ruby and Weiss who would have been worrying about where we went. But that didn't bother me at that moment because right then and there I finally got the person I knew I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, my blonde beauty… Yang.
-End of Flash Back: Blake's POV-
"Hey Blake, Blake your there?" Kaidan said as he snapped his finger breaking me out of my trance.
"WHAT…oh Kaidan something wrong?" I asked him as I was confused by the look of concern he was giving me.
"Yeah you space out there for a few minutes, I was going to wake Doctor Chakwas up but remembered I valued my life." Kaidan answer me
"Oh I'm sorry about that I was just remembering the day me and Yang became a couple." I said to Kaidan as I then notice what I just said. "Oh sorry I shouldn't be bothering you about that not after what you told me about your friend." I said
"No it's okay, like you said sometimes telling a person you barely know is a sign of willing to trust them. So though I won't pry into the detail I will say thanks for trusting me enough to tell me what was on your mind." Kaidan said as he gave me a smile
"Thanks you know I think I can see why you and me get along already." I said to Kaidan
"Oh and why would that be exactly." Kaidan asked me with curiosity
"Well you and I both seem to the quiet ones of our groups, second we seem to say out opinions out bluntly when we have the urge too and third you and I seem to care to learn more so that's why." I answered Kaidan with full honesty.
"Huh I guess you're right, you know Blake I think this is a start of a good friendship." Kaidan said as he held his hand out for me to shake.
"I agree with you Kaidan, so here's to new friends." I said as I shook his hand.
"To new friends, well if you don't mind I'm going to get some rest now see you around Blake." Kaidan said to me
"Same to you Kaidan." I said to him as he just gave me a smile. I decided to make my way down to the Storage Bay to get some rest myself and as I made my way into the elevator, I couldn't help but think that this journey was going to becoming even more interesting in the near future.
-Storage Bay: Engine Room: Time: Same time as Blake's conversation: Weiss POV-
I'm starting to think that our team specifically has a tendency to get into unbelievable situations, and this by far the strangest out of all of them. I still can't believe we ended up in another world with its own government (Who are incompetent fools if you ask me), a variety of alien species and their own humans. The event leading up to where I, Blake, Yang and Ruby as I recall went like this.
We fought with that mad woman Kianna Graves and were sucked into a portal of darkness after Ruby destroyed that crystal she had to control the Grimm. We then end up on the world of Eden Prime just as it was being attacked by the Geth and Grimm, then we meet up with Elizabeth and her crew where we help them retrieve the beacon which was destroyed leaving the mission a failure and Elizabeth injured.
Then after all that's done we go to the Citadel which still is hard to believe something that big exists. Sadly we had to deal with those three moronic council members and that pig headed Ambassador Udina. We also got some new crew member Garrus, Tali and Wrex and eventually found evidence that Saren was behind the attack on Eden Prime thanks to Tali though we did have to deal with that thing 1872 which was a Grimm fused with Geth technology. Once we dealt with that we showed the council the evidenced, the councilors then decided to make Elizabeth the first human Spectre to go after him and his two partners Benezia and Kianna. Once that was over with we were able to save Liara from the Protheans Ruins and gain an additional member to the crew and now were back on the Normandy taking a break so we can rest up… easier said than done.
Everything that I had just thought about was replaying in my head because I can't believe this all happen so quickly it felt like a dream and to make matter worse was how Ruby, Yang, Blake and I will be able to get more ammo for our weapons since it's seems that dust doesn't exist here. Sure we still have a decent supply now but we need to find a way to relief our ammunition so we don't have to just rely on our weapons melee mods. That is why at the moment I'm making my way to engine room since I have a feeling Tali might be there. I remember when I read up on the Quarian's Bio from that little book Kaidan loaned to me, Ruby, Blake and Yang the Quarian's are tech experts so maybe I can ask Tali if she can help me with this situation.
As I made my way through the door into the Engine room I could not help but stare at what must be the engine of the Normandy. It's look like a ball of energy which to me looked very pretty for some reason.
"Amazing isn't it?" A voice said to me as I turn me head to the source to see a much older man standing next to me who wore military blue and seem to be around the age of fifty or fifty five.
"Yes it is… oh how rude of me where are my manners, I'm Weiss Schnee Heiress to the Schnee dust company and you would be sir." I asked holding my hand to the man to shake as I mentally scolded myself for saying that to him. –"It's not like it's going to mean anything here, damn you old habits."-
"Well it's nice to meet you I'm chief engineer Adams, behind me is my crew that helps me keep this engine running." Adams said to me as he pointed to three men and one woman.
"This man here is Tucker." Adam said as he introduced a young light skinned male with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hey pretty lady." Was all Tucker said before I mentally made a note to stay away from him.
"The man next to Tucker is church." Adams said as the next man was light skinned as well, with brown eyes, black hair and a black goatee while also looking a little older than Tucker.
"Sup" was all Church said to me
"Next is our new guy Griff." Adams introduces as this third guy had an olive complexion, light brown eyes, blond hair and looked like slob because he had stains on his uniform.
"Huh…oh hi." Was all Griff had to say before I just noted him as a lazy moron.
"Lastly this is Griff's sister um…. Sister is her name so don't get it mixed up." Adams said as the young woman looked like her brother except she seemed more energetic than her brother maybe I could get along with her.
"Oh hey look a weird girl with white hair how 'ORIGINAL' you must be popular with the boys you Skank!" the girl named Sister yelled at me as she just made a new record on how quickly I can hate someone.
"Sorry about that, SO anyways….you must be one of the four young girls Commander Shepard found on Eden Prime correct?" Adam asked me very politely.
"Why yes I guess you can say I am along with my friends." I answered Adams who I already liked since he had some manners.
"Well like I said before nice to meet you, but I'm guessing you didn't come down here to just check out the engine correct?" Adams asked me very politely again.
"Yes actually, I'm looking for Tali I needed to ask her help with a little project of mine." I said to Adams who nodded understanding.
"Ah yes the Quarian, she would be over by the other side of this room using her little wooden make shift work bench. Next time you see Elizabeth tell I said thanks for bring along Tali, She has been a lot help to us down here." Adams said as he made his way back to his station and began to converse with his fellow engineers.
I looked over to where he had pointed to see Tali working on that gun Elizabeth and Ruby got for free from that Clerk who worked the Spectres Requisition, I wondered if could get her attention without startling her since she seems to be very concentrated on that gun at the moment.
"Damn gun why won't you open?" I heard Tali say with anger as I approached her noticing a lot of broke tools on the ground around her as she was looking at the gun on her small wood mask shift workbench.
"Um Tali?" I asked but Tali didn't answer
"Stupid gun, so stupid, everything about you is stupid. I hope you get dropped in a lake you pieces of-"Tali said but before she could finish I decided to do the louder approach.
"TALI." I said raising my voice a bit louder than I should have as Tali jumped from being startled.
"WHAT SISTER CAN"T YOU SEE I'M….. Oh it's you Weiss sorry about that just got caught up in my work is all, did you need something?" Tali asked me taking the words right out my mouth.
"Actually yes but you seem distracted, anything I could help with?" I asked her even though I didn't have that great of skills when I came to fixing technology.
"No that's okay I can deal with this gun myself, but thank you for the offer. You said you needed something from me what was it?" Tali asked me as I smile a bit from how nice she was being.
"Well I wanted to ask if you can help me find a way to make more of our ammunition for mine, Ruby's, Yang's and Blake's weapons." I asked Tali who gave me a confused look… well from what I could tell at least through her mask.
"Why would need that, doesn't your weapons work off mass effect technology?" Tali asked me defiantly confused by my previous statement.
"No our weapons don't run on that, it runs on Dust for it ammunition." I explained to Tali
"What Dust?" Tali asked which made sense since we haven't show anyone what dust is, well might as well start with Tali.
"This would be Dust Tali." I said as I pulled out a fire dust vial from my ammo reserves. I noticed that Tali looked at it with aw and wonder along with Tucker and Church who caught a glimpse of it but quickly went back to work as Adams gave them a look.
"Wow it so pretty and this is what you use for your ammo?!" Tali asked me with excitement in her voice.
"Yes that would be correct Tali, we also use dust for our everyday need as well from where Ruby, Yang, Blake and I lived." I explained to Tali as I began to have a feeling of sadness talking about Vale again but that quickly passed as Tali asked another question.
"Wait a minute, your saying that this Dust is used for everyday living purposes along with your weapons and ammunition. I have to ask do you have an Omi tool right now on you." Tali asked me as I began to get confused by the question.
"Well no, I mean I remember being told we would receive one sooner or later but like I said no I don't have one same goes for Ruby, Yang and Blake why do you ask." I answered Tali as I wondered why she asked that question.
"Because Weiss Omi Tools are used for everyday purposes here but does not use dust, as well as being able to translate languages between the species. So for you to say you and your friends don't have one can't be possible since you would need it to understand what I'm even saying." Tali explained to me a bit surprised by that piece of information.
"Wait if what you say is true, then how come Ruby, Yang, Blake and I have been able to talk to you, Garrus, Wrex or Liara with no problem?" I asked becoming pretty curious why that was.
"Hm…. Weiss do have anything else with you than just your weapon and ammo at the moment?" Tali asked me as I began to think over it, then I remember something.
"Wait there maybe one other thing I may have on me." I said as I dug through my right pocket hoping to find what I'm looking for. After a few second I found it and pulled it out of my pocket to show Tali.
"What's that Weiss?" Tali asked wondering about the item I currently had in my hands.
"This here Tali is my scroll, it's used for everyday purposes as well from where me and my friend lived. Do you think maybe this is what could be translating our languages?" I asked Tali as she began to look over my scroll.
"Well I can't say for sure but it's seems to be very similar to the Omi Tool so it probably is what translating our word between each other at the moment." Tali answered
"So I guess won't need Omi-tools then huh?" I asked Tali joking a little with her
"Well I wouldn't say that, but maybe if you would let me I can see if I can convert your scroll along with your friend's scrolls into Omi-Tools. That way it will be easier to carry around without having to hold it in your pockets and it will draw less attention to yourself because I don't think anyone else here carry something like that around." Tali said to me as she joked a bit at the end
"Well it's alright with me but maybe a little later, still would you be able to help me out with the ammo situation?" I asked Tali getting back on the main subject.
"Hm, maybe but we will have to wait until you run out of ammo to do it. If I'm correct on this I may be able to convert your weapons into using mass effect technology but I will need each of you to help me with it since those are your weapons I would be working on." Tali explained to me as I felt a bit of relief that this could be the alternative once mine, Ruby's, Blake's and Yang's ammunition runs out.
"I think that would be a good great ideal, I will have to bring it up with everyone else though and it will fall on Ruby our team leader to decide if it's an okay ideal. But if I know that little adorable ball of energy she'll go for it." I said as I smiled thinking of what adorable thing Ruby will say once I talked with her about this ideal and maybe talk to her about our relationship also then.
"Well that's good to hear, I have to say though I find that dust stuff you have pretty interesting." Tali said as she began to get back to work with that gun.
"It is pretty interesting isn't it…. look I know you said that you could to handle that gun by yourself, but maybe I can take a quick look over for you. Just a way of saying thanks for offering to help me and my friends out." I said to Tali who seem a bit hesitant for a few seconds.
"…. Alright then maybe it won't hurt to get a second pair of eyes on this thing." Tali said as she made room for me to help her out.
As I look over the gun I finally got a good look at it. The gun was old but not rusted, it had many scratch's on it like it had seen countless battles, it was slim looking with a grip in the front of it and Iron sights on the top while colored in raven black. It looked like an old antique gun that I use to see in museums back on Vale. "You said you're having trouble with this, what exactly is the problem." I asked Tali (If you're wondering what the gun from my vague description looks like just think of a MP45 but with a longer barrel, longer in length like a Ak-47, old and scratched up)
"Like I told Elizabeth when she asked me about it the thing won't open no matter how much force I put into it and half the tool I used as you can see around you have broken trying to open it." Tali said with disappointment in her voice. I gave her a pat on the back as a friendly gesture.
"It's okay Tali, I can see your doing your best so don't give up." I said to Tali as she gave me a smile from what I could tell. "Hey I just noticed something odd about this gun." I said as I looked to see a small round sliver circle in the middle of the gun.
"Well that's Stanger I wonder how I didn't notice that, do you think it's a button?" Tali asked me as she kept her gaze on it
"I don't but we should probably be careful if we're going to press it." I said as Tali just nods agreeing with me.
"Sounds good here take these safety goggle I have." Tali said as she pulled out a pair of white googles for me to wear which was quite funny to me since I'm usually wearing white anyways.
"Thank you Tali." I said as I put on the glasses. "Now then here goes nothing." I said as I began to slowly move my finger to the button on the gun, while Tali just back away a little for safety. As I press the button down something strange begins to happen.
The Gun began to shake a little, then it stopped, then it shook harder freaking me, Tali the whole engineering crew out as we all stepped back. As the gun was shaking it suddenly stopped and green glowing lines begin to glow on both sides of the gun. I walked up to the gun slowly as Tali tells rest of the engineer crew that everything is fine.
"Hey Tali come over here, I think I may need some help." I said as Tali made her way back to me thankfully calming the worries of the engineers.
"What is it Weiss, what going on with this gun?" Tali asks me as she looks over the guns new glowing lines look.
"I don't know but maybe we should try some of the other function on it, maybe then we can open it then." I said as Tali nodded again agreeing with me.
"As I remember that Requisition store owner saying, the gun has a scanner on the trigger should we test that out first?" Tali asked me
"Yes I think we should but let me do it though, my aura should keep me safe just in case if something goes wrong." I said to Tali who agreed again with me beside it the least I can do since she decides to help me with the ammunition problem and offered to convert our scroll into Omni tools.
"Alright then just take it slow though Weiss." Tali told me as she back away again while the whole engineering crew stopped what they were doing and watched.
As I picked up the gun I had to admit it was a bit heavier than I believed at first. I then proceeded to slowly to move my finger on the trigger prepared for anything that could happen. As my finger wrapped around the trigger to my surprise nothing happened.
"Huh well that's…. anti-climactic." I said as I was kind of hoping something would happen. I began then to pull the trigger since there was no rounds in it. "I think this trigger need a bit of a tune up." I said as I pulled the trigger a few more times then suddenly the said scanner turned on surprising me as the lines on the gun turned red and suddenly the electric systems in the engine room flickered on and off for a few seconds.
"Weiss what did you do!" Tali asked also shocked by what just happened.
"I don't know Tali…. I think I'm going to put this gun down right n-" I didn't finished that last word as the gun suddenly popped up hitting me in the nose hard as I feeling on the ground in pain with the gun still in my hand.
"Weiss why did you just hit yourself with that gun?" Tali asked me bewildered by my actions as the engineers Tucker, Griff, Sister and Church looked at me strangely.
"I didn't this stu-" I was interrupted as the gun popped straight up then smacked me across the face four time as I then laid down in pain thankfully dropping the gun this time as Tali walked over picking it up.
"Okay that's it I'm taking this gun away since you're so keen on hur-" Tali said but then was being hit by the gun the same way I had been hit. Tali fell on the floor in pain as well with her visor of her mask slightly cracked and dropping the gun next to her.
"That hurt…. a lot….so much…..pain." Tali said as I crawled next to her making sure she there wasn't any blood. The engineers Tucker, Church, Sister and Griff all just looked at the two of us like we were crazy. Adams walked up from behind the group.
"Alright what's going on here?" Adams ask as he looks down at me and Tali
"We were attacked by that gun!" I said immediately regretting it as it made me sound like I was crazy.
"Right…. so you're saying that this gun hurt you?" Adam said as he picked it up Gun next to us before I could say anymore. "See nothing dangerous about this gun, I think you two are just a bit tired why don't you-" Adam said before the Gun decided to take its turn with him as it hit him in the face three times and as Adam dropped the gun, the stock of it extended at the right time to hit him in the stomach. Adam then feel on the floor in a lot of pain from the sudden attack.
The other engineers went to apprehend the gun but it had more surprises. As Tucker picked it up he was suddenly shocked by an electric current knocking him out as he threw the gun it the air. As the gun fell it landed into Griff's hands as he got his face hit around seven time by the gun and fell down in pain too but also dropping the gun next to Sister and Church. Sister and Church then decided to jump the gun together but another surprise happen as the gun suddenly magnetized to the roof of the engine room but not before it hit both of Sister and Church under their chins but only knocking church out. As Sister tried to get back up the gun demagnetized and hit the woman in the face knocking her out.
As Tali and I looked in fear we couldn't believe that a gun with no bullets took out five people so quickly. The gun wasn't done yet as it then began to shake looking like it was ready to attack me and Tali but before it could do that Adams jumped on it with his whole body. "Get out of here girls I'll hold it off!" Adams yelled as he was struggling to keep the gun at bay, Tali and I then moved to the door but it had somehow locked itself.
"How did this happen?!" I yelled not believing out luck
"It's must have been when the gun activated remember the electric systems went haywire for a few seconds, but don't worry I'll hack it open." Tali said to me as she activated her Omi-Tool.
"Okay I'll keep an eye out." I said as I kept a close eye on the corner while hearing the sounds of Adam being beat the living day light out of by that demon gun then I heard an electric shock and the sound of a body hitting the floor. The gun then suddenly magnetized itself on the wall facing us. Before I could say anything I notice something. I had dropped the fire dust vial I had shown Tali earlier on the floor a few inches away from us. The gun seeing my concerned face then magnetized itself on above the dust vial as I knew what it was going to do next.
"Tali are you almost done?" I asked her as I began to panic
"Close why do you ask?" Tali said as she just kept her eyes on her hacking
"Because the guns here and what's worse I dropped the vial of my dust under it." I said as Tali then looked to see what I said then she began to panic.
"Oh no…. um…. I'm almost done keep it from hitting that vial I'm guess it's explosive right?" Tali asked as I turned my head to her nodding then turn my head back to see if I can keep the gun from doing what it was planning on doing.
"Hey there little gun you don't want to hit that vial, that would be bad." I said to it like a mother does to a young child. The gun just began to shake freaking me out.
"No don't do it, if you do you will be damaged too." I said as the gun stopped to my relief only for a few seconds later for it to shake even harder like it was mocking me.
"Tali are you done now." I asked with nervousness in my voice
"Almost there." Tali said
"Tali hurry up." I said as the gun began to shake faster now.
"Almost…" Tali said as her voice began to tremble a bit
"TALI!" I yelled as the Gun was about to drop
"THERE!" Tali yelled as the door began to open.
What happened next was and explosion of fire behind us as the door was blow off. We then noticed Garrus, Wrex, Ashely and a Yang come behind us wondering what happened. Before we could answer the gun landed a few inches away from us with no damage to it at all and with those red line still glowing on it. We screamed as the next few moment I knew weren't going to be pretty.
-Normandy: Time: 12:10: Elizabeth's Room: Ruby's POV-
I'm still having a hard time believing this is all real, but I'm glad it is. It's been almost a day since me, Yang, Weiss and Blake ended up in this new place. The alien species here are really cool looking though the humans here are much different than the one from Remnant. The humans here use just guns as their primary weapons which for seems a bit bland, but still even if the guns may seem bland in design I can't help but squeal at the power those guns can have when it comes to fire fights. Then there are biotics which to me look super cool with blue glow and awesome skills you can do with them. I'm glad to say I'm friend with one of the coolest biotic I've meet Elizabeth.
It's weird to say that me and her are friend since we've only know each other for about a day, but within these passing hours I've come to like Elizabeth. She just so nice to everyone, she funny, she very pretty but also knows how to kick butt when it comes to fighting bad guys and she also is an amazing leader ….. better than me. I know its sound like I'm jealous but I'm not I just wish I could be as an amazing leader as Elizabeth, sure I've developed my leadership skill better through my time at beacon, but compared to Elizabeth I'm just a novice. Maybe I could ask her for some advice which makes this a good time to ask since were in her room right now, but I'll have to wait since she taking a quick shower.
"Hey Ruby, sorry about that just needed to clean of some of that dirt I had on me." I heard Elizabeth say came out of her bathroom wearing her pajamas which was just gray sweat pants and a black shirt with a N7 on it.
"It's okay Elizabeth I don't mind really." I said to Elizabeth giving her a smile
"That's good to hear, so how are you and your friends adjusting so far here it must seem very strange." Elizabeth asked me as I rethought everything that had happen up to this point.
"I guess you can say that, I don't know how Weiss, Yang or Blake are feeling now but I'm still having trouble believing this is all real even though I know it is." I told Elizabeth
"Well that's probably natural to feel that way it's not every day you wake up to find yourself in unfamiliar world." Elizabeth said to me as she put her hand on my shoulder
"Believe me that I know, but I'm glad this is real because I got to make a few new awesome friend like you Elizabeth." I said to her as I smiled widely at her.
"You think I'm awesome I'm just a solider, a solider that is a biotic….and a N7 special operative…. now a Spectre, look what I'm trying to say is I'm just like everyone else." Elizabeth said to me but I didn't agree with her on that.
"Don't be so modest your way better than most people, your kind, smart, really cool, pretty, know how to kick bad guy butt and just all around awesome. Compared to you… I'm just average I just want to be kind of like you so I can be a better leader." I said to Elizabeth as I twiddle my thumb a little embarrassed for going all fan girl on her.
"Ruby… I appreciate that you think I'm an awesome person really I do." She said to me as she gave me a smile. "But I have my flaws, beside you got to be kidding me when you say you're just average. You're an awesome person too. When I look at you I see a smart, very kind hearted, very pretty young girl that has powers that no one else here has. The same goes for your sister and friend, you all are amazing girls and I'm glad to have meet all of you." Elizabeth said to me as she gave me a hug as I then returned the hug back.
"Thank Elizabeth you really are a good friend." I said to Elizabeth as we both released each other from our hug.
"You are to Ruby… but why did you say you wanted to be a better leader if you don't mind me asking. I've seen how you and your teammates fight together, it seems like you a pretty good leader already." Elizabeth asked me as I took a deep breath.
"Because even though I'm am a good leader I still have my issues when it comes down to it and it doesn't help when people looked down on you because your younger than them attending Beacon academy." I said as I remembered a lot of people mocking me because of my age even Weiss thought I wasn't right for Beacon but that was when we first meet now she totally okay with it.
"Why would your age be an issue and what beacon academy?" Elizabeth asked me as I remembered that Yang, Blake, Weiss or I haven't had a chance to explain much about our home.
"Right almost forgot I haven't been able to explain to you about our home. I guess I should start with some history about it, bear with me though since I'm not the best when it comes to history or math….or most school subjects." I said as I rubbed my arm
"That okay Ruby and trust me I wasn't the best student myself when I was your age." Elizabeth said as she gave me a smirk.
"Well that make me feel better." I said as I gave her a smirk back. "Now let see well back in our home Remnant as it was called mankind in its early years always had the constants threat of the Grimm attacking them. After a while though we founded the crystals called dust which are grow natural on Remnant."
"Wait wasn't that the stuff that your friend Weiss said her family made for a living?" Elizabeth asked me raising up her hand.
"Yah Weiss family The Schnee's are the main manufactures of dust refinement and product that use dust. Dust as Weiss briefly explained is used for our everyday life's to our weapons." I explained to Elizabeth
"Interesting, but continue on with the history lesson." Elizabeth said
"Right well the dust crystal change the tide of the battle to an equal footing. You see the dust crystal from what I've was taught have elemental powers like fire, water, ice, lighting and I think you get the ideal. Now because of dust the people of Remnant had a fighting chance. Years later when our society was more advanced some people decided to make schools to train the next generation to fight off the Grimm one of those place is the one me, Blake, Yang and Weiss went to. Beacon academy it was called, known to be the most prestigious of the rest thanks to the great staff including the head master of the Beacon Professor Ozpin." I said as Elizabeth raised her hand up
"Um… yes." I said amused Elizabeth was treating this like I'm teacher
"So let me get this straight those dust crystal you girls have contain elements in them, and that your home made schools to teach the younger generation to fight those Grimm thing correct. Doesn't that seem a little unethical I mean wouldn't be better to use those dust crystal to power up an army of soldiers or something, I'm not trying to be offensive I'm just stating my opinion." Elizabeth said to me while she had a bit of anger on her face. I guess I could understand why from what I've can tell the teens here seem to not be allowed to do what teen did on Remnant.
"I guess from a certain view it could be seen as that, but that's not really the case. The students that attended Beacon didn't enroll rather we were picked because were the best of the best." I explained to Elizabeth who seemed satisfied with the answer mostly.
"I guess that's better but you still haven't explained what this has to do with your age?" Elizabeth said to me
"Like I said before everyone is picked to be in Beacon and that was my dream to go there one day. It all started on a faithful night when I was in the dust shop called From Dust Till Dawn that near my home, I was reading through a weapons magazine while listen to my some music on my dust player. The next thing I knew some guy in a black suit say to hand over everything I have, I was all like 'Are you Robbing me' and such and he said yes." I told Elizabeth as I took a quick breath
"So I did the most appropriate action I thought I should take…. I tackled him out through the shops window he was down within seconds. Turns out though that the thugs belong to a man I would later learned was a notorious thief Roman Torchwick, so the guy orders his goons on me I took them down easily. Roman made a run for it and I chased him, then it turns out he had in his possession a bullhead which is like an air transportation vehicle. So Roman threw a dust vile at me that was set to explode and it did only for me to be saved by Mrs. Goodwitch who was like the right-hand woman for Professor Ozpin but we were also attacked by this really mean lady named Cinder Falls." I said as I took another quick breath
After the Bullhead had escaped from me and Mrs. Goodwitch I was all like 'You're a huntress, can I have your autograph', she didn't take that to well since a while later I was being lectured by her on how dangerous my little stunt was. But it turns out that Professor Ozpin had watched the replay of my little fight and he asked me to join Beacon because of my skill which I freaked out over because my dream had come true!" I explained as I took one last quick breath
"Okay I got most of that and I have to admit you got guts Ruby not a lot of teenaged girls would take on a group of armed thugs so good on you Ruby." Elizabeth said as I smile at her praise. "But you still haven't told me what your age has to do with anything."
"Right sorry got of track a little, okay so students that are picked to join Beacon are around the age of seventeen…. I was fifteen when Ozpin invited me to join." I said as I looked down a little
"Oh I see so you're kind of like a prodigy in a sense." Elizabeth said to me
"I guess you can say that, but I didn't want people to treat me differently because I was invited to join Beacon being two years younger than everyone else." I said as I looked back up at Elizabeth
"I can see why, that probably would make me uncomfortable as well if I was in your shoes. Though if you want my opinion you already an amazing leader and anyone who think otherwise is probably just jealous that you're better than them." Elizabeth said to me as she made a huge smile on her face.
"Thanks Elizabeth, I mean it thank you so much." I said as I gave her another hug
"You're welcome Ruby hey since we got that out of the way maybe I could help you with your situation with your little friend Weiss now." Elizabeth said to me as she made a smirk
"What-What do mean what situation!?" I said as I reacted from the hug and was blushing from what I knew she was hinting at.
"Oh don't play with me, I see how you two look at each other with those love struck eyes… oh how it is to be young and in lobe so cute." Elizabeth said as she began to poke my cheeks
"What do mean I'm sure Weiss doesn't feel that same way I feel about her." I said as I cover my mouth knowing what I just said
"SO… You do like her, aw that so cute. Have you two done anything forbidden yet or are you waiting till your married to each other oh this is so cute!" Elizabeth squealed as I just kept blushing more and more as certain images were popping into my head.
"Fine I do and we-we haven't done any-anything forbidden at-at all… besides why would a beautiful girl like her go for a plain girl like me." I said still doubting Weiss really liked me like that even with how she has been acting around me these past hours.
"Ruby…. I may not know much about love myself but I know one thing Weiss does like you, and you still not giving yourself enough credit." Elizabeth said to me
"Thanks again I'm sorry you probably didn't want to hang out with me just to help me with my problems and low self-esteem issues." I said to her with a sad look on my face
"I don't mind that what friend are for to help out, so please stop putting yourself down like I've said you are an amazing girl." Elizabeth said as she gave me thumbs up
"Alright then and the same goes to you if you need any help you just have to ask me." I said as I gave Elizabeth the thumb up too.
Before we could continue with our conversation Ashley came panting and looking like she had been beaten up by an Ursa.
"Ashely what happen to you!" Elizabeth yelled as me and her ran up to Ashely.
"Had….situation…. down…. In storage bay… dealt with it… but lots of injuries…" Ashley said between breaths
"What situation could cause this much damage to you?!" I asked Ashely with concern
"Better to…show…you….follow me." Ashley said as she limped to the elevator
Elizabeth and I were just stunned by what just happen but we quickly snapped out of it, gave each other a nod then proceeded to elevator while we assisted Ashley the rest of the way wondering what situation had happened down in the Storage Bay.
-Storage bay: time: 12:20: no ones POV-
"What the hell happen here!" Elizabeth yelled as she saw Yang with a dried bloody nose and a few cuts on her cheeks, Blake with scratch mark on all over her arms as she used her aura to heal herself, Garrus who was lying on the ground with his visor cracked while it was sparking a bit, Tali who was on sitting on the ground fixing a crack in her helmet temporarily with duct tape, Weiss using her aura to heal her right leg which had a few cuts and Wrex who was on the ground groaning in pain as he held his... private area.
"A demon happen Elizabeth... a demon in the shape of a gun.." Tali said as she finished her repairs.
"Wait what?" Elizabeth ask as she and Ruby walked over to their injured teammates while still holding Ashely up.
"Like Tali said that gun you and Ruby got for free from the Spectre Requisition clerk came to life and attacked us." Weiss said as to both Ruby and Elizabeth as they laid Ashley down on the ground to rest.
"The gun did this to you guys!" Ruby yelled with much concern for everyone.
"Yep and may I say that gun pit up a hell of a fight." Garrus joked as he coughed a little from laughing
"Yeah it did get me in the nose good and cheeks, I'm just glad my aura healed it up mostly." Yang said as Blake moved to her laying her head on Yang's right shoulder.
"We were lucky no one any serious injuries." Blake said as her aura finished healing her cuts up, while Wrex who was next to her and Yang groaned louder. "Well... most of us."
"What happen to Wrex?" Elizabeth as she had a pretty good hunch what happened.
"Shepard... I have been through many types...of pain but this... Is the worst..." Wrex said as he groaned in pain again.
"Let's just say aside from that gun being a complete psycho path it's also very sadistic too." Yang said as she looked at the Krogan with pity for what happened to him.
"I get the feeling it was involving his...quad." Elizabeth said
"Uggggghhhhh..." Wrex groaned
"Taking that as a yes." Elizabeth said as an anime sweat drop went down her face.
"Was anyone else hurt?" Ruby asked as she noticed behind them a burnt door way
"Yes, Adams and his little crew in Engineering were attacked when the gun first activated we haven't been able to check on them because of our wounds." Weiss explained
"Okay then, Ruby go check and see how Adams and his crew are doing." Elizabeth said as Ruby nodded and went through the burnt door way to the engine room.
"Alright now can someone tell me how this all even happened?" Elizabeth asks as she could not even imagine how a gun could beat down everyone in the storage bay and Engineering room, but this brought up another question. "Hey where is the gun anyways?"
"Behind you in that cardboard box." Ashley said as Elizabeth turned around to see that there was a turn up cardboard box with duct tape on the sides to hold it down.
"Really…. That's supposed to hold the gun down?" Elizabeth asks as she was skeptical that a cardboard box could hold it down.
"Well it's all we could find in short notice beside Tali hit with a sabotaged." Garrus says as he turns he gazes at the box.
"Alright then I'm not going argue…. so anyone care to start explain what happened?" Elizabeth asked out loud.
"I'll do it,I think we should start at the part where Tali and I had escaped the engine room." Weiss said as she began to explain what had occurred down in the storage bay.
-Storage Bay: 10 minutes ago-
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Both Weiss and Tali screamed as they saw the gun they had just escape from land only a few inches away from them as the fire behind it died down.
"What are you two screaming for?" Garrus ask confused by Tali's and Weiss's behavior
"IT'S THE GUN QUICKLY GET AWAY FROM IT!" Weiss yelled as she and Tali back away quickly against some crate making it their safe zone.
"What are two talking about?" Ashley asked confused by Weiss statement
"The gun it-it's alive it beat up everyone in engine room and almost took us out when it smash into one of Weiss dust vials." Tali said as she and Weiss kept their gaze on the gun.
"You're kidding right, I don't think a gun could do what you two are accusing it of doing." Yang said as she walked up to the gun picked it up then walked back to Wrex, Garrus and Ashely. "See look it's not attacking me, it just a rusted old heap of ju-" Yang said before the gun hit her in the face three really hard knocking her on the ground while getting surprised looks from Ashely, Wrex and Garrus.
"Yang why did you just do that?" Wrex asked Yang
"I… DIDN'T!" Yang yelled as she rubbed her bloody nose then got up and moved over to where Tali and Weiss were.
"Oh don't tell me the gun attacked you, look I'm going to take this gun away now and maybe I can fix the stock of it because it looks like shi-" Garrus said as the stock of the gun that he was looking over suddenly extended into his face making him fall down as his visor sparked.
"Garrus what the hell?" Ashley asked confused on what Garrus just did
"Ah…damit…. That gun hits hard…damn my eye." Garrus says as he sit up rubbing his eye as he quickly made his way to join Weiss, Tali and Yang in their safe zone.
"Oh haha you area all so funny you must have all planned this, but please just knock it off this isn't a funny joke." Ashley said as she picked up the gun only for her to feels its wrath as it electrocuted her then hit her in the face three time making Ashley fall over on the ground.
"Holy crap Ashley are you okay?!" Tali asked
"Yep just… in pain….mind if I …. Join you?" Ashley wheezed as Yang, Garrus, Tali and Yang all nodded. "Thanks…" Ashely said as she crawled to them.
"Wrex get over her now!" Yang yelled at Wrex who was eyeing the gun on the ground
"No…I can't not yet." Wrex said as he kept his gaze on the gun
"Wrex, don't you dare think about it." Weiss said in an scolding tone
"But I have to this gun… I don't know why but I think it's mocking me calling me its little bitch." Wrex said as his tone became that of a bloodthirsty beast.
"NO, NO WREX YOU DO NOT GO NEAR THAT GUN!" Yang yelled at Wrex angered with the way he was acting.
"BUT I CANNOT, I AM NOT A GUNS LITTLE BICTH NO THIS GUN WILL BE MY BICTH!" Wrex yells as he grabs the gun aggressively and to everyone's surprise it didn't do anything though it still had its red lines glowing on the sides of it. "SEE WHO IS WHO BICTH NOW YOU PIECE OF SHI-" Was all Wrex could say before the gun did something new…. It sprayed a red spray from the iron sights into Wrex's eyes.
"AHHH SON OF A VARREN, IT BURNS AHHHHH!" Wrex yelled as he drops the gun that somehow was able to land on the barrel and position itself right under Wrex's…. quad as the gun rapidly extend its stock into Wrex's groin ten times making everyone who saw it flinch as Wrex feel on the ground in pain.
"Wrex…are you okay?" Ashley asked
"…ugh." Was all that came from Wrex
"Shouldn't we try and move him to us, even with armor and a redundant nervous system I don't think he's going to be walking for a bit?" Garrus asked as his visor kept sparking
"Oh you want to go near the psychotic gun that just the beat crap out of us!?" Tali barked back
"Well sorry I was just saying!" Garrus yelled back
"Stop it you two, we need to get that thing contained so it doesn't hurt anyone else." Weiss said as her knees shook a bit from being nervous.
"Well how do stop it, not like any of us could since we just got our ass beaten by it." Ashely said with an irritated tone.
Before Weiss could reply back the elevator doors open showing Blake smiling as she walked in. "Oh hey what's-" Was all Blake said before she saw Tali, Weiss, Ashley and Garrus all huddled up in a corner while Wrex who was holding his groin quad, next to him was the gun the Ruby and Elizabeth got for free.
"BLAKE RUN!" Yang yelled a little late as Blake already ran up to Wrex
"Oh my god Wrex are you okay!" Blake asked worried
"No….quad….pain….run….to…..other…" Wrex forced himself to say as Blake looked back at the group
"Blake please hurry up get to us and bring Wrex!" Weiss said to Blake
"Why and how did you all get hurt, also I don't think I can move him by myself." Blake replied back
"Because of that demon of a gun Blake!" Garrus yelled as Blake looked back at the gun but quickly dodge it as the magnetized on the wall behind her trying to hit her.
"Nice dodge Blakey!" Yang yelled glad Blake didn't get hit
"Thanks, now quickly get over here and help me with Wrex." Blake yelled as Yang and Ashley ran to Blake and helped her move Wrex over to their safe zone.
"So anyone want to inform me what's going on?" Blake asked as she just couldn't seem to get a break from the weirdness that's been happening.
"Well Tali and I were studying that gun, then we activated it somehow, then we got our butts kick along with everyone one in the engine room. Once we escaped the engine room then the gun followed us only for Ashley, Wrex, Garrus and Yang here to not believe us when we told them the gun attacked us which from their perspective is understandable. They all proceeded to grab then gun leading to all of them getting beaten up and now where here stuck in a corner with the threat of that demon attacking us." Weiss explained as she pinch the bridge of her nose –"Seriously this is official the weirdest thing I've ever experienced."- Weiss thought herself
"Okay well that an interesting explanation... so how do we stop it?" Blake asked hoping someone came up with a plan.
"No ideal." Garrus, Ashley, Yang, Tali and Wrex said making Blake sigh
"Look I don't think it can hurt us from this distance so we should be safe right?" Ashley asked only for the gun to drop on the ground.
"Um… I think you pissed it off." Garrus said nervously
"Whatever like Ashley said it can't hurt us from this distance with us knowing." Yang said only for her words to jinx them all.
The gun suddenly positioned itself upright pointing its barrel at them, the gun they began to open flaps from its side making it look like four fins. The next thing happen in a blur as Yang, Blake, Ashely and Garrus feel on the ground from being hit with Sharpe objects. Tali wasn't hurt because she dodged it and Wrex well he was still on the ground holding his quad.
"Oh god what happened!" Tali yelled as she sat back up from her dodge.
"…. my arms…ugh." Blake said as her arms began to bleed out from a dozen of small cuts
"Crap Blake did you get hit anywhere else!" Yang yelled as she held up her girlfriend.
"No…just my…arms…my aura should heal this up…. but are you okay." Blake asked as she gave Yang a worried look.
"No I'm okay just a few cuts on my cheeks is all." Yang said as her cheeks bleed a little.
"I'm okay just to say…." Ashley said as she sat back up with a few dozen cuts on her right arm and five on her left cheek.
"Good how about you Weiss and Garrus are you okay?" Ashley asked as Weiss and Garrus sat back up
"Yes I'm good I think it was just hit on my right leg." Weiss said as her leg had a lot of blood on it
"Same, I am glad I'm wearing armor, wouldn't want this amazing body of mine to get scratch up." Garrus joked
"Funny…. Damn my quad." Wrex said as he still held his quad
"Well at least it won't be able to hit us again." Tali said as she and everyone else looked at the wall behind them to see around 6 dozen small knifes imbedded into the wall.
"Yeah that's good at least it can't-" Whatever yang was going to say next was interrupted as the knives began to glow with red lines like the gun.
"DODGE!" Yang yelled as everyone moved quickly out of the way as the knives flung out of the wall onto the spot that Yang, Blake, Weiss, Tali, Wrex and Garrus were at only moments ago.
"Okay that was close, everyone okay!?" Weiss yelled as she, Blake, Garrus and Ashley were on the right side of the storage bay while Yang, Tali and Wrex were on the other side.
"Yeah ice princess we are!" Yang yelled much to Weiss annoyance
"THAT HURT MY QUADE JUST TO MOVE OH SWEET HELL WHY!" Wrex said as he was on the ground again holding his quad in pain.
"Okay well at least were alive." Blake said grateful for that
"Well that's fine and dandy….but…. how do we…. Stop it?" Ashley asked ignoring the pain to get some answers
"I don't know we need to somehow power it down, wait Tali would you be able to do something about this!" Blake said
Tali just helmet palmed herself. "Stupid me why didn't I think of doing that in first place." Tali said scolding herself of her stupidity.
"Give me a second I should be able to-" Tali said about to use sabotage on the gun only for her to dodge a knife that was flung at her.
"Crap Tali you okay!?" Yang asked seeing Tali almost get impaled by that knife
"Yes but you need to-" Tali said only for all the knives to be flung again at everyone making them dodged once again.
"Okay that was close look I need you to distract it quickly so I can hit it with sabotage." Tali explained to Yang
"Sounds good hey did you all hear that?" Yang yelled at Blake, Garrus, Ashley and Weiss
"Yes." They all said
"Good how about you Wrex you good to move?" Yang asked Wrex who sat himself back up
"Not really… but what the hell might as well help." Wrex said with pain still in his voice
"Alright then let go distract that thing!" Yang yelled as she, Ashley, Blake, Garrus, Weiss and Wrex all started to run around in different direction surprisingly distracting the gun with success.
"HEY OVER HERE YOU RUSTY PILE OF SHIT!" Wrex said as he dodges a few knives much to his displeasure as he fell on the ground holding his quad again in pain.
"You momma so old when people went to shoot her she shoot dust from the barrel!" Yang yelled as she face planted on the ground and almost nearly got hit by ten knives
"YOU SUCK YOU OLD HUNK OF JUNK!" Garrus said as he tripped but thankfully dodging seven knives.
"You look like a bunch of dogs shit on you!" Ashely yelled as she fell jumped out of the way of a dozen knives almost hitting her
"…..Hi." Was all Blake's said as she dodged eight knives that hit the wall behind her
Before the gun could do anything else it was stunned and fell on the ground hard as the red lines on it dimmed. Without thinking about it Weiss grabbed a cardboard box near her and place it on top of the gun.
"I need something to hold the box down!" Weiss yelled to her teammates. Garrus was the first to respond as he ran over to Weiss with a thing of duct tape coving the box in it.
"Is it over?" Garrus asked with worry
"I think so it hasn't moved." Weiss said as she kept her eye on the box
"Good, good now I'm going to lay down." Said Garrus as he laid down on the floor
"Well were alive yay…. but one of us should tell Elizabeth about this." Yang said with relief that the nightmare is over.
"I'll…go…tell….her…" Ashley said as she moved her way up the elevator to inform Elizabeth about this incident.
-Storage Bay: Present time-
"That how it happened, I was glad we all got through this with our lives." Weiss said as she rubbed her throat for talking so long.
"…..Damn, I mean damn that is just…. damn." Was all Elizabeth could say stunned by the story while behind her Ruby came out with the whole engine crew still alive but hurt.
"Yeah that was I feel like, but we should move that gun somewhere else so that it won't harm anyone else." Weiss said to Elizabeth as Ruby in the background saw the cardboard box and looked at it with curiosity.
"Your right but we need to do it carefully and with the upmost security." Elizabeth said while Ruby lifted up the box and saw the gun, Ruby then picked it up and ran over to Elizabeth and the rest.
"Hey everyone I found the gun what should we do with it?" Ruby said as everyone else turned white with fear "Um what wrong?" Ruby asked with an innocent face
"RUBY PUT IT DOWN NOW!" Weiss yelled fearing for Ruby's life but before that could happen the gun activated again with its red glow.
As the gun glowed red and began to shake Ruby was frozen in fear and confusion while everyone else minus Wrex who was still holding his quad prepared to fight back if needed. But the gun did something unexpected it stop shaking and the red glowing line on it turned green again to everyone's shock.
"Quick anyone have a thermal clip!" Tali said as a crazy ideal came to mind
"I got on here take it." Garrus said as he threw it to Tali
"Thanks, Ruby I'm going to give this clip I want you to put the clip in the gun okay." Tali said as she tossed Ruby the clip.
"Okay got it." Ruby said as she catches then inserted the clip, and to Tali's surprise it didn't eject the clip like it had done when she tried it.
"Oh my." Tali said surprised
"Wait Elizabeth didn't that clerk who gave you the gun say it wouldn't work for any Spectre he tried too seel it too?" Yang said amazed that Ruby wasn't getting attacked by it.
"Yeah he did, Ruby how is that gun working for you?" Elizabeth asked Ruby surprised as well
"I don't know…. CAN I KEEP IT!?" Ruby asked with excitement
"NO!" Weiss, Blake, Yang, Garrus, Tali, Ashley and Wrex yelled
"BUT WHY!" Ruby yelled with a sad tone
"Little Red it just tried to kill us!" Wrex said as he finally let go of his quad and was sitting up.
"But…but it works for me and I promise not to let it hurt you again." Ruby said as she began to give everyone the puppy eyes.
"Oh no, look away quickly!"Blake said as she looked away but for everyone else it was too late to look away.
"Why would I…" Was all Elizabeth could say before she looked at what she could say was the most damn adorable puppy dog eyes. "….okay you can keep it." Elizabeth said
"YAY THANK YOU ELIZABETH!" Ruby yelled as she jumped up in the air in joy
"Wait what happened?" Ashely asked as she came out of here daze
"You were just hit by my little sister puppy dog eyes one of the most powerful weapon she wields." Yang said as she smirk a little
"Damn, now she would make a scary cop." Garrus said in disbelief he just got effect by what Ruby's little technique.
"Yes it is most effective when no one does not expects it." Weiss said smirking that Ruby got her, she also squealed internally on how cute ruby looked-"Oh I could just snuggle with her right now!"-
"Damn can't believe I feel for that, alright you can keep it like I said, BUT make sure it doesn't attack anyone else alright." Elizabeth said to Ruby who was overjoyed.-"Note to self mentally condition myself to withstand Ruby's puppy dogs eyes in the future."- Elizabeth mentally noted to herself
"Thank you so much, hm you know I should give this gun a name. How about…..FLUFFY!" Ruby yelled
"Fluffy really?" Ashley said raising her eyebrow
"Yeah I mean its acting like a dog does with its owner isn't that right Fluffy." Ruby said as the gun rubbed ejected the clip onto the ground the proceeded to rub its barrel against Ruby's cheek gently.
"I don't know if I should be disturbed that she was able to get that…demon to corporate with her or that it's acting like a pet now." Tali said as she looked at Ruby and fluff's interaction.
"Honestly Tali I don't think you should we should be questioning anything anymore, by the way are you okay I mean I know you look okay but… is there like a cut on your suit or something." Elizabeth asked with concern as she gave Tali a hand
"Thank you Elizabeth but you don't need to worry about me I'm fine, besides I'm a tough girl too you know." Tali said a bit playfully
"I guess you are, if you keep this up I may have to spare with you skin to…skin contact if you think it's be worth it." Elizabeth said smirking at Tali
"Hm well I could sick from doing that even with all my immunity boost I've had inject in me….but I wouldn't mind it be worth it." Tali said seductively making Elizabeth blush lightly.
"Ahem!" Weiss said getting Elizabeth and Tali attention who then looked away at each other in embossment as they noticed everyone looking at them awkwardly minus Ruby who had Yang's hands over her ears and Blake's left hand over her eyes.
"Well this is awkward, so are you and going to…. you know have s-" Garrus said until he got a light biotic push for Elizabeth making him hit his head on the ground. "Okay sorry…" was all Garrus said
"Hey why are you covering my ears and eyes?" Ruby said as Yang and Blake release their hands from her head a second later
"No reason really just cause." Yang said
"Aw why do always say that." Ruby pouted
"Because just like Yang said just cause." Blake added
"Alright enough chit chat, I'm going to wake up doctor Chakwas, Kaidan and Liara for some help, you all just stay here and Ruby stay with everyone here as well okay." Elizabeth said as she made her way to the Elevator.
"I have a bad feeling this is just the start of a lot of strange suspires… I just hope the rest are less dangerous than this." Elizabeth mumbled to herself as she entered the elevator not knowing that many suspires were to come and the most important ones would be the most dangerous of them.
-Therum: Unknown time-
On the top side of the now destroyed Prothean ruins a figure stood. This figure was tall, human looking skinny and had a female shaped body. The figure was draped in black clothing and black skull mask surrounding the whole head showing no flesh or hair at all…. if there was any to begin with.
The figure looked at the destroyed cave entrance alongside the large pile of burnt geth body parts with the arms and legs looking like they were constructed to make some sort of ….throne.
"It seem there is no way to get into the ruins, sad really I was hoping there was still a way in but everything in there is probably destroyed I am sorry master." The female figure said as the radio in her mask activated.
"It is of no concern, procced with your current mission objectives." A monotone voice said from the radio on the other side
"You mean to keep a low prolife and watch the crew of the Normandy correct master?" The female figure said.
"Correct you must not show yourself to them, you must also keep a close eye on those four girl with them as they could cause much trouble in the future and if it come to it kill them." The voice said
"Of course master but what will I do if I run into Saren, Benezia and Kianna Graves?" The female figure questioned.
"Simple do not get caught by them or you will be punished severely." The voice said still with in monotone.
"Yes I understand master… If I may ask what are the four girls names you want me to keep a closer eye on?" The female figure asked curios
"Their name are Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xi Long and Ruby Rose. These are enhanced photos of the four girls." The voice said as a photo from the Eden Prime video appeared on the female figure Omi tool, she smirk when she saw Yang and Ruby.
"I understand master I will do as you order." The Female figure said as the radio in her mask went silent.
As the Female figure looked at the photos showing Weiss, Blake, Yang Ruby suddenly she began to remember as an old memory as she focused her attention one Ruby and Yang in the photo her master sent her.
She remembered a forest of white and red as she chase a girl also colored with white and red. She remembered hearing the heartbeat of her prey as she chase the young girl of white and red while getting the feeling of excitement from it. Then the memory flash forward as she is fighting with the figure it was good battle but in the end she won. Then the last part of her memory was when she looked down at to see the young girl's sliver eyes tear up as she says…..
"I'm so ….sorry… my love….I'm so sorry my little girls please….. forgive me…." Then the girl of red and white took out a photo and smiled only to take her last breath a few seconds later.
As she remembered she picked up the photo that the girl held as she look she saw a picture of two young girls. One with lilac eyes and blond hair dressed in yellow shirt, orange pants and brown shoes and then the other girl who was younger with sliver eyes, black hair with red on the tips on the ends and wore a dress of red. She turned the photo to see two simple names.
-Yang and Ruby: My little girls-
As the female figure came back to the present she couldn't help but laugh a little as she remembered those faces from that girl's photo so long ago.
"It's funny first it was the girl in red and white, now it will be her 'Little girls' that will die by my hands sooner or later. Oh how I can't wait for it, I will have to thank you later for giving me this gift….. Master Sovereign." The figure said as she disappeared into a portal or darkness knowing that sooner or later she will find her prey and what a hunt it will be for her.
