It was a little over ten PM here in Vale, I surprisingly managed to escape the clutches of my sister. I swear she gets way too clingy at times. I leaped on the roof of another building awaiting for Tina to catch up.
She landed properly but something a little off. She had been almost completely silent since we left Junior's to pick up my gear. "Something on your mind?" I ask her as I adjusted the Rouge Branwen mask it was placed a little too low in a rush.
She took a deep breath, "No...it's nothing." She looked downwards avoiding eye contact. A bad sign in general.
I sighed already guessing what was probably bothering her, "Is it because we haven't been talking as much lately?"
She looked at me like a sad puppy, "Well yeah." Tina turned away, "But it's ok, I understand."
Under my mask I rolled my eyes there was more to it than that, "Just spill it all out." I crossed my arms in wait.
She hesitated for a brief moment in thought before turning back towards me. She took a deep breath before speaking, "I've honestly been a little upset at you wanted me to move into Vale so we can go out on jobs but that turned out to be a lie, and you take forever to respond to my text messages half the time. SO YEAH! I'm a little pissed off." After realizing she raised her voice she backed away nervously awaiting my response.
'Ok...so it's clear mistakes were made on my part.' I accepted that part of course.
"Good your acknowledging your mistakes."
I tuned back to my surroundings. "I'm sorry that I've been ignoring you and for lying." I took a few steps forward placing my hand on her shoulder, "It's been difficult to communicate with you lately that's not going to change for a while."
She exhaled tiredly, "Did you lie because of what Roman has that belongs to you?"
I nodded, "Without that scroll I lost contact with an ally in a position of power within Atlas's White Fang branch."
"You don't remember the number?" She asked with annoyance.
"I do, but exchanging information with her on a regular scroll has the risk of being intercepted. I don't want that." I removed my hand from her shoulder taking a few steps back as I did so.
She took a deep breath, "Ok I'm sorry."
"Your anger is understandable Tina." I turned to the streets of Vale gazing across the city. "I'll try to hang out with you outside of this." I placed my hand over my mask feeling its icy cold metal against my fingertips.
Tina stood next to me, gazing at the people below going about their business like a bird resting on a street light. "Do you have any leads on Roman?"
"Other than he's teaming up with the Fang no." I glanced over at a nearby dust shop watching a few hunters and civilians entering and leaving. "We could always scout out Dust store locations."
"And banks?"
"And banks." I confirmed as I looked through my scroll tuning into police channels for any useful information.
"Yin!"
Startled I jolted in place nearly dropping my scroll. Tina look at me with concern.
"Are you ok?" She held my shoulder as I turned away staring off distance feeling at odd presence. It felt primal, wild and burning with rage.
"I feel it too." I responded.
"Stay on your guard."
"I will, but this could be fun." I calmly stood as the presence drew closer by the millisecond homing in like a missle.
"Yin!" Tina turned behind us away from the ledge.
A few minutes ago
Whistling as he watch White Fang members carry crates of Dust out of the store. A few of the men had staff at gunpoint and huntsman taken out by himself and Vacuo.
A short female member of the Fang joined leaning on the wall beside him, "I was informed about him Vale."
Vale tilted his red lensed glasses down, "Is that so?"
She leaned in closer whispering in his ear as to prevent eavesdropping, "Yes it is, so what did A tell you to do?"
Vale smirked as sirens off in the distance were heard approaching, "To evaluate him. Simple as that."
Vale watched as a orange haired man with a white coat approached with a look of annoyance "Who said you could slack off? This is a team effort no lone wolves...even though some of you are part wolf." Roman Torchwick glanced at Vacuo as he spoke.
She growled in response. Roman stood still for a few moments seemingly ignoring the growl, "I didn't think I had any of Junior's men sticking with me after I lost a few." Roman ignored Vacuo as he addressed Vale sparking tick marks to grow on her head.
Vale smirked, "I may be dressed as one of his men." Vale moved his hat revealing his icy blue eyes, "But I am no longer associated with him." He returned his hat to its original position.
Roman clicked his tongue, "Fine by me, but some of these animals aren't going to be too happy to hear about another human joining in."
"I'll be fine." Vale waved him off.
Roman turned away as he pulled a cigar out of his pocket, "Alright guys everyone pack up and head to your buddy vans! We're done here!"
Vacuo fumed as she watched him leave, "Tch, asshole." She turned to Vale, "What does evaluate mean?"
Vale press his hand against his head, "I forget you didn't get an education."
"EDUCATION IS FOR WIMPS!" She shook his tuxedo's collar shaking him in place.
Vale merely chuckled she continued, "It means to test or judge."
She stopped the shaking, "Can I test him for you?" She gave him wolf pup eyes as she begged.
Vale attempted to look the other way but was already caught in her gaze. He put his arms up in surrender, "Alright, alright, just don't kill him."
Vacuo gained a wide smile before she darted out of the build nearly knocking over fellow White Fang members as she took off into the night.
Present
Vergil's presence dimmed as he watched through my own eyes.
I faced the possible threat. "A White Fang member?" I questioned, frowning under my mask.
The Fang member pulled off her hood and removed her mask as she smirk with anticipation: she had long messy and upkeep white hair with light chocolate brown skin, and she had wolf ears a white as snow. I couldn't help but to notice her soft facial appearance. A shame she seemed so...messy.
"I guess so, Yin." She smirked as I glared at Tina who turned the other way with regret knowing that she made a mistake.
I sighed as I turned back to the stranger, "Since you know who I am now how about you introduce yourself?"
"Call me Vacuo."
I was put into ease now know that I wasn't going to be attacked, well not right now at least. "You tracked me down for a reason it would seem judging by by how fast you got here." I placed my hand over White Viper's grip ready to make the first strike if needed.
"You sensed me coming?" She briefly pretended to look apologetic, "Sorry but my Devil Arm got very excited."
My eyes widened under my mask, "So that's what that feeling was."
Tina slowly turned her head, "Yin we should-" Tina stopped mid way through her sentence with Vacuo right in front of her as if she teleported.
"Should what? Leave? Sorry but I'm here to evalu...TEST I'm here to test you!" She backed away giving Tina some breathing room. "And if I don't like what I see." A evil smile grew on her face, "Then your dead."
Tina blinked a few times, "I was gonna say we should be careful…"
I swiftly turned to Tina as I activated the White Viper, "Don't use the sword!" True to the weapons name a release button was pressed allowing the weapon to extend like a wip. I struck where Vacuo stood only to find that she had vanished.
I let out a sigh already feeling an unfamiliar weight on my shoulder, I slowly turned. "Come on you really expected that to hit me?" She whispered inviting anger into my chest. I remained calm.
I abruptly thrusted my elbow into her chest, shuffling away immediately after blade in hand.
"Cheap shot, but it's a shame we all have aura." She taunted.
"Tina." I called out she turned to me, "Together." White Viper reverted back to its compact form substituting it for Scorzien. Tina followed suit summoning her Devil Arm, Skippy: a organic based weapon that arms Tina with black gauntlets, greaves giving her a boost in strength and speed, aling with a large tail she can lean on to deliver a powerful kangaroo kick.
I moved first with Tina right beside me utilizing both my pincers and tail stinger. Vacuo's eyes widened in surprise but shifted into a hubris smirk as she avoided the attacks. "Alright then let's play with Devil Arms."
Tina now came in with a right roundhouse kick only for it to be blocked by a black glowing gauntlet and greaves resembling a mane. A pure light shined in the veins of the weapon. Tina didn't let it stop her, she continued to punch and kick. Vacuo matched her blow for blow with ease as she smiled.
Observing for any weakness I was only a few paces away. I recognized the weapon immediately, I never saw it in person but I know its name. 'Beowulf…' I thought to myself as I prepared to rejoin the fight.
I came in from the side not wanting to strike from behind like a coward. I jabbed at her Devil Arm covering it along with her whole arm in ice on contact.
Using the opportunity Tina activated her semblance, golden energy surrounded her like a blanket as Tina kicked at Vacuo's gut only to be blocked by a raised knee. Light erupted from the ice releasing her arm.
Vacuo took a step out of the fight to rub her arm aggressively. "Why would do that you cunt?!" Her teeth chattered as she began to shiver.
Under my mask I smirked, "Afraid of a little cold?"
"Bitch this is FREEZING!" Her body began to glow white with power as Beowulf glowed. She breathed a sigh of relief, "I love you Beowulf."
Tina didn't spare her another moment as the combined power of her semblance and Devil Arm began to give her an edge over Vacuo.
'Looks like I'll be playing support then.' I thought to myself as I struck my stinger into the roof freezing the whole rooftop over. The two nearly fell over grabbing each others hand as they struggled to push the other over.
It was clear they didn't know how to ice skate, but thanks to Scorzien it was the same as walking for me. I walked over as Tina and Vacuo continued to struggle their hands still locked.
As I approached Vacuo struggled more to pushover Tina or at least break free of her grip.
I stopped next to where their hands met, "This seems like quite the predicament your in." I stared down Vacuo she glared angrily in return with a low growl.
I held the top part of my mask and pulled on the bottom removing half. I took in a deep breath and exhaled a icy mist traveling from her legs upwards.
Tina released her when it was clear that she wasn't going to be able to move. The ice traveled like a crawling venom stopping only at her neck.
"YOU'RE REALLY PISSING ME OFF ELSA!" She screamed in fury struggling to move within the ice.
I crossed my arms as Tina walked up to Vacuo with a playful smile. "Booop." She poked the peak of her nose. She took a few steps back bracing herself for the storm.
Tick marks grew on Vacuo's head, "I ALREADY HAVE VALE DOING THAT SHIT TO ME AND I DON'T NEED IT FROM YOU!" She jerked her head back and forth as she growled.
"It would seem that you allowed your confidence get the better of you." It was disappointing in a way.
White aura engulfed her filling the area with untamed demonic energy.
"WHAT KIND OF ICE IS THIS?!" She cried out as she allowed the white aura to fade away.
I chuckled as I reattached the bottom portion of my mask, "The demon kind."
"But I broke out of it before!" She whined as she let her head drop in surrender. Beowulf begrudgingly faded away from beneath the ice in response.
"More concentrated." I merely replied. I turned to Tina, "Nicely done, I might have been in trouble on my own."
She tilted her head knowingly scratching the back of her head, "Well...we were almost in trouble. I only ate 4000 calories today and I nearly ran out of power during that fight." She placed her hands on her hip allowing her Devil Arm to disappear in a flash of light.
"JUST LET ME OUT!" Vacuo screamed, "I HATE THE COLD!" She began to whimper as tears began to stream down.
Her eyes softened as she gave me puppy eyes bending her wolf ears downwards. My heart froze for a second, 'Why the hell does this always remind me of Ruby?'
Vergil's presence returned, "Integrate her, we need to know how she got that Devil Arm."
I nodded as I accepted Vergil's request and Vacuo's plea.
I tapped on the ice covering her. Shattering it away like broken glass. Vacuo crouched hugging her knees as her teeth chattered.
I looked downwards at her, "How did you get that Devil Arm?"
"C-can you wait?" Vacuo didn't even look at him, she was too focused on trying to get warm. "ACHUU!" She sneezed.
Tina turned to me, "I feel kinda bad now…"
I let out a sigh, "Well I may or may not have given her hyperthermia."
"We should take her somewhere." Tina walked up to Vacuo and embraced her.
"H-Hey g-get off!" She protested but didn't fight her off she instead allowed herself to bath in Tina's warmth.
I looked downwards on the streets of Vale, down below the building they were on top of people were watching with their scrolls recording all of what had just occurred.
In fact he didn't notice it before but a civilian drone flew overhead for a better view. Whomever was piloting the drone now aware that the Rouge Branwen spotted him made the drone retreat into the city.
'News networks are gonna have a field day with that footage.' I backed away from the ledge.
"Any ideas on where we could go?" I asked allowing Scorzien to disappear in a blue flash.
"Uh...Junior's?" She shrugged as she lifted Vacuo up who surprisingly didn't complain. "Do you have any ideas?"
"Junior's is the best I can think of as well." Off in the distance Bullheads now made their approach to the frozen roof.
Tina let go of Vacuo turning around allowing her back to be facing Vacuo, "Want a piggyback ride?"
Vacuo rolled her eyes as she climbed on, "I don't really have a choice."
"Try to leave and you'll become a living popsicle." I threaten as she hid behind Tina.
"Fack you!" She peaked above Tina's shoulder sticking out her tongue tauntingly.
'...I feel like she's younger than she looks.' I thought to myself as Tina leaped off the roof starting off the trip to Junior's club.
