Ch.21: Rocking the citadel Pt.4 (So close to the end of this arc lol)
"Elizabeth you can't be serious thats hilarious!" Glynda said laughing as she and Elizabeth sat in bar in the embassies which compared to Chora's den was so much nicer in Elizabeth's opinion
"It's true and when the young lady looked up at me during boot camp she literary freaked out, she tripped over her feet and stuttered so much!" Elizabeth replied back as she was retelling a time when she had did a surprise visit to the boot camp she went to, which then at the time had a problem with a certain female recruit. This recruit was pretty much being an all-around bratty person to the other cadets and very stubborn, so the instructors there though to get Elizabeth's help to straighten her out. It worked as the girl freaked out seeing Elizabeth knowing who she was and after the one day of training Elizabeth gave the bratty recruits well….let's just say she wasn't bratty anymore
"That is so damn funny, I love it when I did that to disrespectful little students back at Beacon!" Glynda said back as she and Elizabeth laughed for a few more seconds before Glynda stopped suddenly and donned a sad look on her face which Elizabeth took notice of
"Are you okay Glynda?" Elizabeth asked worriedly as she scooted her seat closer to Glynda's
"Yeah….I….I'm just having a hard time still you know accepting that Remnant is dead…that everything we tried to do to keep our home safe was destroyed in the end." Glynda replied back as Elizabeth just gave her a quick hug
"You we're a teacher right?" Elizabeth asked trying to get Glynda to perk up a little more
"Yeah I was, I was Ozpin's second in command you can say and the combat instructor. Funny thing is I was to most students consider well…kind of a bitch since I could be very strict with them. But even if I was I did because I cared, I didn't want any of them to lack in their studies or training because the life of hunters and huntresses is a very dangerous one." Glynda answered with a small smile now
"Well sometimes you have to be especially when it comes to training for a life risking career choice, still I'm sure you were close to some student's right?" Elizabeth said as she was curious now
"Yeah I was, Team RWBY, JNPR and CFVY were three of the teams I was closets to in my later years at Beacon….but….but there was one person I was the closets to at Beacon in my much earlier years." Glynda answered with a wide grin now on her face
"Who that be if you don't mind me asking you that?" Elizabeth said as she didn't want to pry too much into Glynda's personal life
"I don't mind but you maybe shock who it was." Glynda replied back
"Really now, Glynda I've been dealing with events these past days that no one else has so I don't think I could be freaked-out." Elizabeth said with a smirk as a human waitress came by
"Here's your drinks ladies, enjoy." The human waitress said as she place two pink drinks on the table
"Oh thank you miss, now then Glynda who was it?" Elizabeth said as the bartender left and she now took a sip of her drink
"It was Miss Kianna Graves." Glynda replied back as Elizabeth spit out her drink
"Okay….I take it back that was surprising." Elizabeth said with a sheepish smile as she grabbed a few napkins from the table next to her and began wiped their table up. "But um you knew her?"
"Yes I did, she was a late addition to the school and also my personal apprentice." Glynda said as she sighed a little "And before you ask she wasn't like the way she is now when I knew her…Kianna back then was such a smart, sweet and loving girl along with probably being the only person who actually though of me as their idol."
"But how is she here then, you all lived way back during the time of the Prothean's so how?" Elizabeth asked very confused now
"I can't say but I saw her fall off a cliff, so your guess is as good as mine. Still I miss all those wonderful days I had with her." Glynda replied back
"Alright then, but you know it sounds like you both had quite a close bond with each other." Elizabeth said with a bit of hesitation as she didn't want to bring up any painful memories
"Yeah….yeah we did….." Glynda replied back quietly as she began to sink into a flashback
-Glynda's Flash Back-
"Glynda stop that tickles!" Kianna yelled out laughing as Glynda was at the moment in her dorm room having one on one time to hangout as close friends
"Well that's what you get for switching my sugar packets with sour packets young lady!" Glynda yelled back happily as she was tickling Kianna's sides with a wide grin
"I'm…I'm….SORRY, PLEASE FOGIVE ME!" Kianna replied back as she was tearing up a bit from laughing so much but Glynda tickled her a little more before stopping as both women just laid back on Kianna's bed giggling still before looking at each other
"Well I hope this teaches you not to mess with my sugar packets." Glynda said with a smirk as Kianna smirked back
"I'll remember but you got to admit it was funny." Kianna replied back as she and Glynda sat back up on her bed only for Glynda to lightly bop Kianna on the forehead
"I will admit it was funny, still I rather not get complaints on you doing this to anyone else. A smart girl like you has got better things to do and when I say smart I mean really smart girl." Glynda said happily as Kianna blushed a little from the praise she was getting from her lifelong idol
"I…I'm not that smart…I mean you probably much smarter than me..." Kianna said bashfully only for Glynda to give her a very caring hug
"You're so sweet but how about we go with that we are bot he equally intelligent." Glynda said as she kept her caring hold on Kianna then kissed her on the forehead shocking her and Kianna slightly "Oh…sorry about that I wasn't…I'm sorry." She said as to her surprise Kianna laughed a little
"It's okay, friends can do that beside we're both girls so I guess it's not a weird as if a boy did that to me just now so no biggy." Kianna replied back as Kianna gave Glynda a friendly kiss on the cheek making Glynda smile at the girls understanding that it was just a friendly gesture she did and nothing more
"Thanks for understanding, though I don't think I'll be letting any boy or girl mess around with you." Glynda joked as she and Kianna laughed then hugged each other once more
"I'm glad I get to be your one of your closet friends." Kianna said with a joyful smile
"I'm glad to Kianna….so very glad we're great friends." Glynda said as she and Kianna kept their hold on one another happy with their ever growing friendship
-Back in present reality-
"Glynda….Glynda you there?" Elizabeth said as she snapped her fingers at a dazed out Glynda which worked as the blonde blinked her eyes in surprise before looking over to Elizabeth
"Um…what … is something wrong?" Glynda asked with a confused look
"Yeah, you were kind of out of it for a few minutes. Everything alright with you though because you had me worried." Elizabeth replied back with a worried look
"I'm okay really, I was just remembering a good memory I had with Kianna. You know what's funny, I always think that if I had been more involved with her when she began to change later on in our lives then maybe…maybe I could have kept her the same sweet girl I knew." Glynda said as she forced herself not to tear up but Elizabeth saw that was the case and patted her on the back
"I know how that feel actually." Elizabeth said giving Glynda a comforting smile
"You do?" Glynda asked with a curious tone
"Yeah, though I didn't know the kid long he was good one. His name was Jenkins who was a very green and somewhat impatient kid, but he was also very nice and always just wanted to help out those in need along with wanting to find some adventure in his life." Elizabeth said as she and Glynda laughed a little both knowing that's how young men and women just were, but they stopped laughing a few seconds later while Elizabeth continued. "But as I was saying though, we went back to his home world Eden Prime the same one where we meet the girls, so anyways we were just staring the mission and not even three minutes in he gets shot down."
"Oh…I'm sorry to hear that, it's never really easy seeing the young die huh?" Glynda replied back with a frown
"Yeah but what I'm trying to say is that even before the mission started I had a chance to talk to him, what I heard from his tone he was excited for it just like how most rookies are. But I didn't talk to him and I always wonder that maybe if I just took a few minutes to that maybe just maybe I could have given him some advice to not be so gun hoe about the mission. Maybe then he would have been still alive and able to live the rest of his life out. But I'll never know, so yes I do understand how you feel when it comes to Kianna." Elizabeth said as she slightly smiled at Glynda
"I see what you're saying, thank you Elizabeth." Glynda replied back with a small smile
"No problem, but unlike me you still have Kianna, though maybe she's not the same you could still have a chance to bring her to our side of this fight." Elizabeth said with a wide smile now "And before you ask I know that team RWBY and the others may have issues with it but I'm sure they would eventually accept her."
"Hm well I hope that can be the case…I really should thank you for this little talk we've been having." Glynda said with a smile of appreciation
"Your welcome, but how about we stop talking about this stuff and get back to having fun." Elizabeth said
"I'd like that, let's get to it." Glynda said but only for Elizabeth and her to notice a conversation between two men. One was a young man with pale skin, orange hair, blue eyes and wore a blue suit with white lining. The other man was much older with gray hair, dark skin, brown eyes and wore a tan suit with white lining.
"That seems like trouble, don't know why but would you care to listen in?" Elizabeth said as Glynda smirk and nodded. Elizabeth and Glynda then made their way closer to the two men to hear what they were saying
"Please I'm begging you just let me have my wife's body back." The older man pleaded
"I'm sorry but like I've told you before we can't." Said the younger man with a frown
"But she deserved to be sent back home where me and her family can bury her with dignity." The older man pleaded once more
"And like I said before I'm really sorry but we can't, my hands are tied." The younger man replied back with a frown still as the older man just sighed and exited the bar
"I know this isn't probably a good thing to get into other's business we're going to do it anyway right?" Glynda asked with a small smirk
"Glynda you'll be learning that me, the girls and the others have a knack for helping people out with their personal business. Beside you saw the Ruby and Yang do it so what are we waiting for, we got a grieving man to help out." Elizabeth replied back as she and Glynda walked up and exited the bar quickly with the hope that they would be able to help out with the grieving man's problem
-Meanwhile at Chora's Den-
"You know you keep getting more and more interesting with every question." Kelly said to fox as she and him had been having such a nice conversation about their hobbies, likes, dislikes and generally basic info about each other
"Well thank you, I have to say I've been enjoy this chat as well, not every day a pretty girl talks to me…without smacking me or yelling at me. But still thank you Kelly." Fox signed back to Kelly who smiled at his complement but also this brought up a one of a few question she had been wanting to ask him
"You so sweet Fox…but if you don't mind me asking um…what was your world like, and sorry if that's too much to ask I was just curious." Kelly said with a shy and worried look that she could have overstep her boundaries but was surprised when Fox kissed her on the cheek as in a way of saying it was alright, Kelly didn't mind the kiss at all surprisingly as she looked up to Fox who gave her a small smile before answering Kelly
"How do I explain it, well Remnant the home world where me and my friends came from, it was beautiful….but it was also deadly with Grimm ever so advancing with the want to kill us all. I along with the others went to a school that trained the hunters and huntresses who fought off the Grimm to protect the citizens. It was all good but things changed when four of friends from a team call team RWBY disappeared and were pronounced dead a little while later. Let's just say a week or two after that, a very….horrid tragedy happened which killed so many and changed how people viewed us. After a while no one wanted to be a hunter or huntress leaving me and the others to be the only two teams left but we we're trained by the remaining teacher there. We became stronger and years later…I'm sorry I just can't get into that part I…I hope you can understand." Fox singed to Kelly with a sad look on his face
"No it's okay Fox I shouldn't have asked really I understand." Kelly said with a very caring tone as she hugged Fox who hugged her back and it was a feeling of neither one of them wanting to leave the other alone "You know Fox I'm really glad that I've gotten a chance to know you." she said as they both released each other from their hug
"Thanks…same here….same here." Fox signed as Kelly grabbed his hand and gave him a peck on the lips who then he returned back making Kelly giggle
"Sorry…. I didn't expect you to kiss me back." Kelly said blushing with a grin on her face
"I didn't mind, I like you because well you're the only girl that seem to like me back." Fox signed with one hand as Kelly just scooted her chair closer to him and rested her head against shoulder and both were fine with it
"You know I have to ask but….I wonder what your friends are doing over there at the tables while you and me are getting well acquainted." Kelly said with a flirty tone as she pointed to the two separate tables were Pyrrha, Juane, Nora and Ren we're conversing while Liara, Yatsuhashi, Kaidan and Ashley had left to get back on the Normandy since they seemed like it would be a good time to
"Probably just hanging out is all, I wouldn't bother them though…. but now where were we at?" Fox said as he gave Kelly a smile
"Probably at the part where we just relax with each other." Kelly said as she and Fox resumed their relaxing moment together
-Meanwhile with the others in Chora's Den-
"Aw Renny benny I'm having such fun spending time likes this with you!" Nora said as she sat on Ren's lap tightly hugging him while also kissing him rapidly on the cheek making the man's usual calm demeanor crumbled a little from his girlfriend lack of worry for affection when in public
"Nora, I think people are staring at us." Ren said as he and Nora looked to see some of the patrons taking quick glances at them with a few snickers here and there
"Oh let em look Ren, my love for you is more important to me then what they think or even pancakes." Nora said in the only loving way Ren could understand as he just sighed with a smile knowing this was pretty much the woman he had fallen for and he hasn't regretted it at all
"Well if that's how you feel then let's just enjoy this while we can, we'll have to be back on the Normandy sooner or later." Ren said as Nora happily agreed and nuzzled her head closer to his chest –I wonder what those two are talking about in their little private chat- he thought to himself as Juane and Pyrrha were being all lovely dovey with each other at a separate table
"So Juane how have you've been enjoying the day so far?" Pyrrha asked happily as she and Juane were having their own little private talk
"Pretty good now that we're away from those council members, man the girls we're right they are all just ugh." Juane responded as Pyrrha giggled a little making Juane raise an eyebrow
"I'm sorry it's just how you ended that sentence was just too cute, still I get what mean I can't believe those three are the leaders of this place." Pyrrha said with a frown as she didn't care much for the three council members from what the girls had told her and the others
"Yeah, what makes it worse is that some people here still have issues with us." Juane replied back
"True…you know I have to say it's kind of hard to believe it." Pyrrha said with a slight frown
"What's hard to believe Pyrrha?" Juane asked as he gave Pyrrha a smile to brighten her mood
"Just well all this around us right now and from the fact that we are in a space station filled with a multiple number of alien species along with their own humans also." Pyrrha answered with an amused smirk
"Well I guess it is really weird to think of, but at least we also all we're able to reunite with Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang now." Juane said with a wide smile a Pyrrha nodded agreeing with him
"True, I still can't believe they're alive too. But I'm happy we got a few friends back from all the ones we lost." Pyrrha said with a sigh as Juane hugged her tightly
"I know how you feel with that, I wish we could have done something to save them but we couldn't." Juane said as Pyrrha kissed him on the lips
"Yeah but we still got the gang and each other, I love you Juane." Pyrrha said with a wide grin
"Your right and I love you too Pyrrha." Juane replied back happily as he and Pyrrha gave each other a loving kiss before just deciding to make as much of the time here swell before they had to leave back to the Normandy
-Presidium Commons-
"Well that was a bust, I guess you must have gotten your dates wrong because we ran into a perfume convention." Garrus said as he and Wrex had made it to the commons only for the little fist fighting competition to actually be a few days later which both men learned the hard way as they had entered a Perfume convention. They got sprayed with breath choking scents that made both Garrus and Wrex want to throw up, thankfully they made it out relatively sane and with their noses still functional
"Hey don't blame me, blame the damn idiot who wrote up the damn paper." Wrex growled back as he was in an annoyed mood now and Garrus wasn't making it any better
"Right or it's your age getting to you." Garrus muttered to himself but Wrex heard it anyways
"I heard that kid, you really got to learn to talk quieter." Wrex said much to Garrus surprise
"Oh um…sure sounds good, wait the hell do mean by kid?" Garrus said as he actually felt a little offended being considered a child
"Funny Yang asked me the same thing not so long ago, though maybe not like you did but still pretty funny." Wrex replied back with a laugh for a few seconds before answering "But to answer your question, I've been around this galaxy for over three centuries seeing many miracles and horrors most people these days never will see. Pretty much after living through three centuries of that stuff everyone else here is just a child to me really from you, to Elizabeth and the others along with the girls especially." Wrex answered with a calm tone
"Makes sense, still I'm kind of curious but how old would the girls be in your eyes anyways?" Garrus asked with curiosity
"Well you and the others are all considered kids to me, the girls would be considered baby's in way since there the youngest out of our whole group. Though they do have skills with combat, they also still have the naivety of a young one." Wrex answered
"I see, huh you know I wonder where were at right now?" Garrus said as he and Wrex noticed that they both were in a plaza like area of the commons
"Can't say, maybe we can ask someone for directions back to the embassies." Wrex replied back
"How about those two over there with the kids?" Garrus suggested pointing near an ice cream shop were a dark skinned man in an alliance navy outfit, a woman in a white sun dress and two kids with an odd hair color of green and gray we're standing in front of the ice cream shop
"Might as well, let's just hope they don't think we're going to mug them." Wrex said as he and Garrus made their way over to the small group
"Excuses us but could we ask you kindly for directions?" Garrus asked kindly as tapped on the man's shoulder making him, the woman and two kids turn around to see that the man in the group was actually captain Andersons "Anderson well funny meeting you here?" he joked
"Funny indeed Garrus and Wrex, I didn't expect to be seeing anyone from Elizabeth's crew to stop by." Anderson joked back getting a laugh out of Wrex and Garrus
"David do you know these two?" The woman asked with a raising eyebrow
"Oh sorry miss…." Garrus replied back but paused to figure out her name
"Cinder will do fine, saying Miss just makes me sound old." Cinder answered "It's nice to meet you both."
"Same to you miss, um Anderson who is this woman anyways?" Wrex asked making small talk now
"Oh right, this is my younger sister Cinder along with her two kids Emerald and Mercury." Anderson answered as Garrus and Wrex looked down at the kids who were hiding behind Cinder with a look of wary curiosity
"Oh sorry about that my kids haven't ever been this close to another species before, well in the conversation sense?" Cinder said embarrassed by that fact
"Why would that be?" Wrex and Garrus asked at the same time with curiosity
"Oh well to be honest I'm a tad bit over protective over my two little angels here." Cinder replied back with a sheepish grin
"Mom you broke the mailman's arm once from waving at me and Emerald under the idea that he wanted to kidnap us." Mercury said with an innocent smile
"Oh well that was when you were like four and I was much more cautious with you two being near other people." Cinder replied back with a winder sheepish grin
"Mom the mail man uses a five foot pole to drop off the mail now because he's scared of you." Emerald added as Cinder just laughed a little nervously
"My oh my kids will say the funniest things these days." Cinder said to Garrus and Wrex who raised an eyebrow while Anderson just face palmed himself
"Is that all true Anderson?" Garrus asked with a skeptical look
"Sadly yes it is, my sister just seems to have a hard time dealing with her kids growing up." Anderson answered but before anymore questions could be asked Emerald cut in
"Um…are you a Krogan and Turian?" Emerald asked with a small smile
"Yeah we are little lady, I'm guessing this is pretty cool to be talking to aliens right now huh?" Garrus said with a smile as Emerald giggled a little
"This is so cool, hey how I hear Krogan's can live a long time so how old are ya mister Krogan?" Mercury asked now more comfortable with being near Garrus and Wrex since his sister seemed fine with them
"You bet, I'm over three century's old kid." Wrex said in a kindly manner that was actually pretty surprising to Garrus and Anderson who didn't expect to ever well…see a Krogan being kid friendly
"THAT SO COOL, YOU MUST GOT LIKE A HUNDERED AWESOME STORIES TO TELL!" Mercury yelled out happily
"I do but I don't think I have time to tell you any." Wrex said as Mercury sighed a little disappointed by that
"Actually you two can join us if you would like. I wouldn't mind and the kids wouldn't either, how about you David do you mind?" Cinder said with a wide smile
"Oh no it's okay, me and Wrex here wouldn't want to intrude." Garrus politely said
"Actually Garrus I wouldn't mind either, beside who going to keep watch over my little sister, nesses and nephew." Anderson replied back to the confusion of the others
"What do mean by that David?" Cinder asked raising an eyebrow
"What I mean is that I probably should be heading back to Udina's now, he'll annoy me for being out to long sadly." Anderson replied back as he really didn't want to have to deal with Udina giving him a hard time for spending time with his sister and her kids who he hadn't seen for a long while…still he knew he better head back
"Oh that sucks, but I understand trust me David I really do." Cinder said as she could tell just by the look of David's annoyed face when speaking about Udina that the man wasn't a pleasant choice of company
"Thank you Cinder." David said as he hugged Cinder who hugged him back
"Just try to remember to eat okay Davey." Cinder asked with a worried tone as she and Anderson release each other from their hug
"I will Cinder don't worry." Anderson answered with an amused tone
"Good because I'll know if my dork of a big brother hasn't." Cinder joked as she gently flicked Anderson on his forehead "Mercury, Emerald say good bye to you uncle."
"Bye Uncle Anderson!" Mercury and Emerald said as they hugged the Anderson legs who he himself bent down a little to give the two kids a hug back
"I'll see you two sooner or later promise, but be good for your mother." Anderson said with a smile as Mercury and Emerald let go of his legs and walked next to Cinder nodding their heads
"We will Uncle Anderson promise!" Emerald yelled out happily while Mercury just did a thumbs up
"Good, Garrus, Wrex promise me you'll keep these three safe. I'm sure there really isn't sort of danger around the commons but still I just want to make sure is all." Anderson said as Garrus and Wrex looked at one another then answered
"Don't worry Anderson we'll keep them safe." Garrus said as he gave a nod to Anderson
"Yeah what the kid said, beside not many people mess with Krogan's so they should be safe." Wrex added in
"Thank you both." Anderson said before he turned his attention over to Cinder "I'll be going now but you all have fun okay?"
"We will, now get going back to your job dork." Cinder replied back with a smile as Anderson nodded then made his way back to the embassies leaving Garrus, Wrex, Cinder, Mercury and Emerald alone now
"So where should we go next?" Emerald asked with a wide smile
"Oh maybe we can…no never mind." Mercury said but couldn't think of anything
"How about we all just walk around a little, would that be okay with you two?" Cinder suggested
"I don't have a problem with it, what about Wrex?" Garrus replied back
"Same, as long as we aren't sitting around doing nothing I'm good." Wrex answered
"Well then you got our answers, so lead the way Miss." Garrus said with a smile as Cinder laughed a little
"My you are so very chivalrous but thank you, now then come along" Cinder replied back with a wide grin as she, Mercury, Emerald, Garrus and Wrex just began walking and enjoying their time at the citadel
-Lower Wards: Stair's to the Flux-
"So this is the place then?" Yang asked as she, Blake, Ruby and Weiss looked at the stairs leading to the Flux's entrance
"You know Pyrrha asked the same question about Chora's Den." Weiss said with an amused smirk
"Really that's funny, so does it still look unwelcoming as before Wissey?" Ruby asked in a cute tone
"Well… um yeah I mean it's a shady kind of bar…but are you going to use that nickname more often?" Weiss replied back with a hint of blush on her cheeks
"Cool and if you want me to stop I'll do it sweetie." Ruby answered with a smile
"No it's not that I….I just find it cute when you call me that." Weiss said with an increased blush
"OH WEISS YOU LOOK SO CUTE WHEN YOU BLUSH!" Ruby said as she kissed Weiss on the cheeks a few times followed by a loving kiss on the lips "I LOVE YOU!"
"Geez you don't have to say it so loud dolt….but I love you too." Weiss said with a very red face now but a wide smile
"You two really need to get a room, Ruby if you want me to I'm sure me and Blake could pay for a motel room for just you both for a few hours." Yang said with a wide grin making Blake giggle while Ruby and Weiss began to blush a lot from the comment
"Wh-what do mean by that Yang, me and ruby w-will find a-a good time to do that stuff!" Weiss said stuttering as her heart began to race from all the dirty thoughts she was having about Ruby
"Yeah …I mean well… me and Weiss here wi-will do that stuff when we're re-ready." Ruby added in shyly as Yang and Blake laughed a little more before getting back to the task at hand
"Well, as fun as it was to see you two get flustered by this I think we should get going up to the bar now." Blake said as Yang nodded while Ruby and Weiss calmed themselves but nodded after that "Good then let's get moving then" she happily said but not before slapping Yang's well….butt in a seductive manner
"Oh Blakey you know I like it when you get frisky." Yang said as she and the others began to move up the stairs while Ruby and Weiss just shake their heads amused by Blake and Yang's very forward actions with each other but that though was cut off as the girls went around the corner to the second set of stairs that lead to the Flux's entrance along with seeing a Salarian being thrown out by a human male bouncer making the girls stop in their tracks
"AND STAY OUT!" The human male bouncer yelled out as he gave a quick kick to the Salarian's side before making his way back into the bar
"Holy crap I though you girls said this bar was safer?!" Yang said in shock
"It is from what me and Blake we're told and saw inside" Weiss said in slight shock
"I think that Salarian's hurt we should help." Blake interjected as the Salarian groan a little making the girls ran up to him
"Are you okay sir?" Ruby asked with concern as she and Blake help the Salarian to his feet
"Yes thank you… brute kicked me hard though." The Salarian responded back with an angered look
"Why did he throw you out anyways?" Weiss asked
"All I was doing was using a little device of mind to calculate the odd of winning a Quarts game." The Salarian answered as the girls suspected that Quarts was a gambling sort of game
"OH…so you were caught cheating then?" Yang bluntly said
"I was not cheating, I was calculating the odd's is all. It's fairly harmless." The Salarian replied back a little annoyed by Yang's accusation
"Right so cheating, look dude that's what it sounds like to us so yeah." Yang replied back with an amused grin
"Whatever, look you four seem like smart girls so if I can ask you four to help me with this then I'll share the profits with you evenly." The Salarian replied back
"Whoa hold on I don't think-" Ruby said but was cut off by Blake who gave her a look then gave the same look to Yang and Weiss like some sort of mental conversation was going on. The girls then smirked having a good idea what Blake was suggesting for them to do
"You know what sure we'll help you." Ruby said happily
"Really, wonderful here take my device and play a few games of Quarts then record the game and I should get some good data." The Salarian said with a wide grin as he gave the girls a small device
"You welcome, we'll see you in a few." Ruby replied back as she and the girls walked up the stairs behind him and entered the bar
"Nice place, so any who…. we're going to turn in the device to the manger here right?" Yang said with a toothy grin
"Yep." Ruby, Weiss and Blake answered also with toothy grins as well
"But maybe we should tell Rita about her sister being safe now." Weiss added in
"Good idea, and I see her over at the bar now." Blake said as she and the others made their way over to Rita
"Oh it's you two again, but who are your friends here and have you been able to help with my sister safety?" Rita asked with a distressed tone
"Oh sorry these two are our girlfriends, the one in red is name Ruby and she's my girl, the other is her sister Yang and she Blake's girl. Now to answer you more important question, your sister is safe and sound and she'll should be pulled out of Chora's Den so you needn't worry anymore." Weiss answered as Blake nodded while Ruby and Yang waved hello
"Oh really thank you so much I can't ever repay you enough for this, but only to say thank you again so much!" Rita said as she nodded before taking her leave to continue doing her job
"Well now that is over with, we should find the manager of this place." Ruby suggested as the girls nodded
"Are you (inhale) talking about me (inhale) young lady?" Asked a voice from behind making the girls look down to see a Volus in the usual get up most Volus wear but was cleaning a few cups
"Wait you're the manager?" Blake asked with a raised eyebrow
"Yes I am (inhale) what, were you expecting something else? (inhale)" The Volus answered with a somewhat offended tone
"No, sorry mister um…." Yang replied back
"Doran (inhale) now tell me why were you four (inhale) looking for me?" The Volus named Doran said with a cautious tone
"Oh well mister Doran, my friends and me are looking for you to ask you but do you know a Salarian that was kicked out of your bar only a few minutes ago?" Yang asked as the Volus just shook his head
"Is that a yes mister?" Ruby asked happily
"Yes…yes I do, his name is Schells and I caught him cheating the Quarts game, so I had a couple of my bouncers throw his ass out." Doran answered
"Is that so, because we met him outside and he asked us to use his little device to do his dirty work for him." Weiss said
"I'm taking it (inhale) that you're not going to then (inhale) since your telling me this?" Doran asked with a very amused tone as the girls smiled
"You bet, here you can take his device and do whatever you deem fit with it." Blake answered as Ruby took out the device from her pocket and gave it to Doran
"Thank you girls (inhale) here take some credits as a reward." Doran said as he handed one hundred credits to each girl "Just to say if you want (inhale) you can play a few games of Quarts on the house."
"Thanks but not at the moment, still we're happy to help." Ruby said happily as Doran nods while the girls exited the bar and met back up to Schells who was happy to see them
"So were you able to do it, did you get the data?" Schells asked
"Sorry dude but we gave Doran that device thingy." Yang answered much to Schells shock
"WHAT… but….but that was two years of work, what do I do now?!" Schells asked with anger in his voice
"Get a job maybe?" Blake bluntly said as she crossed her arms
"OH NONE OF YOU ARE ANY HELP!" Schells yelled in anger as he passed by the girls and stormed off to who knows where leaving the girls alone
"So what now?" Ruby asked as the others began to think on what to do
"Hey I got an idea, but we'll have to take a Sky cab okay, Blake you know what I'm suggesting right?" Yang said with a wide grin
"Yang I don't….OH…oh okay." Blake answers only for her to figure out what Yang was suggesting
"What are two talking about?" Weiss asked
"Yeah come on tell us?!" Ruby asked with a curious tone
"Don't worry you two, you'll just have to trust us okay." Yang said back as she and Blake began to make their way to the nearest Sky cab terminal while Ruby and Weiss just shrugged following them wondering what Yang and Blake had in mind for them all
-Citadel Presidium-
"Hm, still can't believe this is all real." Ozpin muttered to himself as he looked around the scenery of the Presidium finding it hard for himself to believe that the whole situation he and the others had awoken into was real and that surprised him as he knew that the fact that he was surprised was a rare occurrence. But it was all real and he knew it to be the truth which only made it harder for him to also think about the dead world of Remnant, the planet probably was physically still there though devoid of life now. But whatever the planet was now was for sure not the Remnant he or the others lived on. Ozpin's thoughts though were cut off when he heard a small yawn coming from his vest pocket, he went through the pocket and found Eve's chip which he must have forgotten to give to Joker for safe keeping until the whole group got back on the Normandy
"What time is it…?" Eve Yawned as her hologram activated only to be startled by Ozpin who laughed a little that the A.I was able to be frightened
"I do apologize Eve, but you're on the Citadel right now." Ozpin answered as Eve look around with caution in her eyes
"It's not safe for me here Ozpin, you should just put me back in your pocket so you do not get into trouble" Eve said with a slight worried look on her face now
"Nonsense, I doubt anyone here would think of you more but just a simply custom V.I, beside you deserve to get some fresh air for yourself. Though I must ask but are you really capable of sleep or is that a part of some very intrigued programing?" Ozpin asked with a small smile
"Oh well thank you then… you're to kind Ozpin." Eve said with a small smile "But if you must know I do sleep like any normal person, the Prothean's weren't too keen on A.I's I believe, but the ones that created me we're I guess more opened minded about it….huh strange." Eve explained but donned a look of confusion on her face which made Ozpin raise an eyebrow
"What's the matter?" Ozpin asked
"It's just that… well I feel like some my assumptions are wrong of what I just told you…I…I..." Eve answered but began to hold her head tight as she knelt down on her holo emitter in her chip groaning in pain as she held her head which began to hurt more and more
"Eve are you okay?!" Ozpin asked in a worried tone
"I…I…memories….coming back….it hurts…to remember…" Eve replied back in pain as memories began to emerge
-Eve's Memoires: Unknown time-
"Eve wake up, you we're sleeping again silly." Said a female voice to Eve that had a blurred figure so Eve couldn't tell what the said woman looked like
"I'm…sorry, I just like reading a lot late nights." Eve responded but not by her own free will. She concluded that she must be saying what she said in the memory
"It's okay little one, being a sentient A.I must be hard to get used to, but I know that you'll be able to do great things one day." The woman replied back in a motherly tone
"Oh… you really think so?" Eve asked shyly
"Yes I do Eve, I'll be back in a few minutes okay so try and get yourself more awake young lady." The woman replied back with the same motherly tone as the sounds of sliding doors were heard
"I guess I'll try and do that, I'm still a little sleepy though…." Eve said as she began to wake herself up wondering how the day would go…
-Back to present reality-
"Eve, are you still there?" Ozpin asked with a much concern tone as Eve projection had gone silent for a few seconds while still clenching her head
"What…Ozpin oh…what…what did you ask of me?" Eve answered back as she took a deep breath before looking up at Ozpin
"I was asking if you we're alright still, does that usual happen when you get your memories back." Ozpin replied
"I…I don't know I just hope it doesn't keep on, still I got a few new memories but it's nothing of importance. Just a few memories of…some woman, but still you needn't worry yourself." Eve explained
"Of you say so Eve, though we should get back enjoying this place while we can. So Eve what would like to see?" Ozpin said with a smile now
"I think I'd like to look around this area some more if that's okay with you Ozpin?" Eve replied back
"I think that would be nice, let's take a gander at the beauty of this place." Ozpin said as he began to walk around while putting Eve's chip back in his vest pocket but thankfully was large enough for Eve's projection to be able to look out of the top without being noticed as Ozpin walked around wondering what the other we're doing at the moment…
-Citadel Plaza-
"Penny come over here, I think I found the cutest set for you!" Coco yelled out excitedly as Penny walked up to her
"May I see it big sister Coco" Penny asked as Coco nodded showing her a pair of white jeans with a black skirt attachment along with a white shelves tank top that had a dancing Robot design as well and lastly a pair of white sneakers
"So what do think Penny, wouldn't this just look adorable on you!" Coco asked with squeal
"Coco sweetie are you sure we should buy that for Penny, it make her seems more vulnerable from what I can tell." Velvet said as she walked up next to the two with a few more bags of clothing around her arms
"Oh my sexy bunny that's the point, Penny here will be looking sexy as hell while giving off a "Hey don't touch me unless you want your balls cut off" sort of look. I want make sure little sister Penny here won't get messed around by some boy or girl in the future." Coco explained happily
"Thank you big sister Coco I love the outfit and thank you friend Velvet for the concern, I'm sure you'll be a perfect wife for big sister Coco." Penny said joyfully making Velvet blush and Coco squeal in delight, put down the outfit she picked then hugged Penny
"OH YOUR ARE JUST TOO ADORBALE, I'M MAKING YOU ONE OF MY BRIDES MAIDS AT THE WEDDING!" Coco yelled out as Penny hugged her back while Velvet blushed much more hearing that Coco really wanted to marry her
"Wai-wait for real, you really want to marry me!" Velvet asked as Coco and Penny released each other from their hug, then Coco walked up to Velvet and kiss her passionately on the lips before answering her lover's question
"Velvet you bet I do, still I don't mean now but when you're ready you know….because I really do like you a lot." Coco said in a shy tone that was very opposite to her usual personality but this made Velvet smile wildly
"Coco, you really do know how to make a girl happy." Velvet replied back as she and Coco kept their gaze in each other's eyes but then Velvet noticed something "Wasn't Penny just with us a moment ago?"
"Wait what….oh crap." Coco said as she looked behind her to see Penny had literally disappeared "HOLY CRAP PENNY WHERE ARE YOU!" she yelled out and began franticly looking around
"Coco calm down, we'll find her but we need to keep a level head okay." Velvet said while Coco took a few deep breaths and nodded
"Alright… now then where could she be though, I mean think a girl like Penny could find much to peak her curiosity in this place." Coco said
"I know Coco, but we should ask around first and I think I may have found our first source." Velvet replied back as she pointed to a literally floating Jelly fish that was also known as from what the girls told them were called Hanar
"So we're going to ask a Jellyfish then, great…" Coco said sarcastically as Velvet gave her a look but sighed before both girls walked up to the Hanar which took notice to them
"Greetings, this one must ask but are you two by any chance the secondary human's species that has just arrived not too long ago to our galaxy?" The Hanar asked with curiosity
"Um….yes why do ask my good… Hanar?" Coco answered awkwardly as she and Velvet had really no idea why they just got asked that
"Then this one must also ask, but if that is true then you and your comrades were around the time of the Enkindlers?" The Hanar asked with a much happier tone
"Yes that would be correct, but like my girlfriend asked but why do you want to know?" Velvet answered this time
"It's true then, you two really are just like the Enkindlers!" The Hanar happily said as he slightly bowed to the two
"Um…sir I don't think-" Velvet said as she didn't want any misunderstanding to arise since the girls back on the ship before they got on the Citadel did tell them that the Hanar saw the Prothean's/ Enkindlers as gods of some sorts, but Coco being Coco beat her to the response
"Actually yes in a way we are, though if I may ask now but have you seen another one of ours. She about the same height as us with red hair, green eyes, wearing a tan top with black pants and shoes. Does that ring any bells?" Coco said politely with a toothy grin
"Oh yes this one has seen the one you seek, she went to the left side of the plaza here. This one hopes this one has been of help oh mighty one's." The Hanar said in a very joyful tone
"Yes you have, thank you very much my kind sir but we must make haste!" Coco replied back as she grabbed Velvets hands and began to run through the left side of the Plaza to see if Penny could be seen anywhere while also bumping into people by accident
"Sorry!" Velvet yelled as Coco ran through groups of pedestrians "Coco slow down, I don't think Penny got this far!"
"True but better to be safe than sorry now where cou-" Coco said only for her to stop in her tracks along with Velvet
"Coco what's-" Velvet asked but only for Coco to stop her mid-sentence
"Call it a sisterly instinct but over a couple of a feet away from us right now, I think she may be there in the alley way." Coco answered back as she and Velvet made their way over to the alley to find Penny along with …well a gang of ten human males wearing black leather jackets, blue jeans, black boots and all while having black buzz cuts standing around her in a circle with very angered faces
"Oh no…." Velvet muttered in worry but only for her and Coco to hear one of the members who was probably the leader of the gang speak
"SO girly what's your deal with my friend Pedro here or do you just always bump into to people?" The gang leader asked with a suspicion tone and a glare
"Yeah boss, little girl here said it was my fault too what nerve!" Another member Pedro said in annoyance and turned out to be the shortest of the whole gang
"OH IS THAT SO, well then little red head got anything to say for yourself?" The leader asked in a more angered tone
"Yes I just want to say it was a mistake, you really would attack me just because of that, would you really strangers?" Penny asked as she didn't want to fight at all
"Mistake or not we're going to have to hurt ya because no one makes any member of the Tunnel Varren's look like a fool, you know why?" The leader said as he snapped his fingers
"BECAUSE TUNNEL VARRENS RULE!" the other members yelled out in pride as they cracked their knuckles and began to slowly close in on Penny
"Please let's not resort to violence kind sirs." Penny said with a nervous smile only for the members to keep closing in but before then two of the ten members suddenly were knocked out cold
"Who the hell did that?!" The leader yelled out in rage but saw no one
"THAT WOULD BE US JACKASS!" Coco yelled out as she and Velvet ran up next to Penny in a defensive manner
"Who the hell are you two?!" The leader asked in shock "And how the hell did you even knock out Paul and Wally so easily?!"
"Easy, it's called chucking rocks at their foreheads with enough force to knock them out, but not kill which if you look closely at them you'll see the evidence for yourself." Coco said as the gang leader looked at the his knockout comrades to see two pebbles on the ground next to their heads
"Oh that's it no one does that to members of my gang if my name isn't Butch DeLoria!" Butch said as he pulled out a pocket knife
"OH SO SCARY, look if you boys are done playing men just apologize to my little sister and we'll get out of your hair alright." Coco suggested with a smirk making the Tunnel Varren's even more pissed
"Sweetie I don't think that helped." Velvet said a little nervously
"Oh I know, so boys who's first?" Coco asked as three of the members jumped at Coco only for Velvet out of protective instinct to jump in between them and knock them all out with a few jabs to the stomach and necks
"No one touch my Coco." Velvet said with a surprisingly scary glare
"Aw Velvet, I wanted to take them down. Oh well it's the though is what counts." Coco said as she gave a quick peck on the cheek to Velvet then looked at the remaining gang members "So now then my turn so which one of you boys got the balls to attack?"
"No wait big sister Coco don't." Penny said but only to be unheard by the others
"YOU BITCH!" Pedro yelled out in rage as he and three other members lunged at Coco now. But Coco waited till the right time until she was able to simply sucker punch two of the closet gang members then flip kick the third member. Once they were down Pedro was closing in and jumped to air tackle her, but right when he was in the close enough distance Coco rolled under him and as Pedro landed on the ground Coco turned around and kicked him in the crouch making the boy scream in silent pain
"OH!" Velvet, Penny and Butch all yelled wincing at what could only be seen as unimaginable pain as Pedro feel over on the ground with a now plastered face of pain
"Big sister Coco you probably should have been a little merciful with that boy." Penny said as she felt pity for the boy
"I could have but he was the one that almost got you hurt, your big sister Coco ain't going to let some punks hurt you." Coco said as she smiled at Penny widely then turned her attention back to Butch who was slightly shaking in his boots a little "Well now it's your turn." She said cracking her knuckles and walking closer to Butch but Penny step in
"Big sister Coco stop!" Penny yelled in a pleading tone as she stood between Butch and Coco
"Huh, Penny get out of the way and Coco teach this guy a lesson." Velvet said confused by Penny's actions
"No please let me handle this friend Velvet…. please big sister Coco let me please… big sister" Penny replied back as she gave Coco and Velvet a small smile
"I…"Coco tried to say to oppose Penny's suggestion but she couldn't, she just couldn't say no to Penny because ever since the beginning of hers and the other training after the tragedy's at Remnant so long ago she had then always dotted on Penny in a sisterly love "I….okay do what you have to then Penny."
"Thank you big sister Coco." Penny happily said as she turned around to Butch who was confused "Now look I am truly sorry I bumped into your friends, but please do not pursuit into fighting with my big sister and her girlfriend. I would not like to see a young man like you be hurt so please just let it be."
"I…um….okay miss I will and um….I'm really sorry for you know." Butch said surprised that he actually agreed to it but looking into the girls face he felt extremely regretful about him wanting to beat the same girl up not even a minutes ago
"It's okay, you and your friend seem like trouble ones though. I would suggest you all see if you can redirect yourself to a less depraved and violent life style. I'm sure if you all put everything in making your life's better than you can become better people for it." Penny said with a wide smile while Butch began to cry and fell on his knees
"OH THANK YOU OH GODESS OF KINDESS!" Butch yelled out as he began to bow down to Penny
"Wait …..WHAT!" Coco and Velvet both yelled at once
"THE TUNNEL VARREN'S WILL BE FOREVER IN YOU SERVICE OH GODESS OF KINDNESS!" Butch continued as he kept bowing down
"THAT RIGHT WE ALL WILL BE FOREVER IN YOUR SERVICE OH GODESS OF KINDESS!" The rest of the gang yelled happily as well now bowing to Penny like Butch was
"THE HELL THEY WERE ALL KNOCKED OUT JUST A MINUET AGO!" Coco yelled out in disbelief
"Coco I think it's best not to question it." Velvet said with a slight twitching eye from the continued weirdness of the day
"Why thank for the praises, I will ask that you all behave while I'm gone though. Can you all do that?" Penny asked with a wide grin
"YES WE WILL DO ASK YOU ASK GODESS OF KINDESS!" The whole Tunnel Varren gang answered as they got back up and made their way to who knows where while chanting of the kindness of their Goddess of Kindness
"Penny you know I can never figure out how you do it." Velvet said to Penny's confusion
"What do mean friend Velvet?" Penny asked
"I think what my sexy little bunny is asking is how you always seem to find the good in everyone, even the ones who are attacking you and also how you can forgive so easily?" Coco explained
"Oh thank you for explaining big sister Coco about what friend Velvet said, but to answer your question…well I just do." Penny answered
"I guess that's the best answer we will get huh?" Velvet asked with a smile
"Yeah but that's what make my little sister even more cuter, now come on I think we should head back to the Normandy now. I personally am pretty tired, how about you two?" Coco said as she yawn a little
"Sound's good to me, Penny?" Velvet said as Penny just giggled and nodded "Well you got our answer, so would you kindly lead us back to the docking bays?"
"Why yes I can for my little sister and my lovely gal, follow me ladies." Coco said as she wrapped her arms around Velvets and Penny's arms and began to lead them back to the docking bay while happy about the day that they had. Though the three girls wondered as they walked to the get back to the Normandy's dock bay, how the others days had been going but deiced not to think further on it as they would probably hear it form then once they all got back on the Normandy by the end of the day…
-Embassies entrance-
"So all you need us to do is talk to the young man you we're speaking to correct Mr. Bhatia?" Elizabeth asked the man now known as Samesh Bhatia
"Yes that would be correct, still I do hope you and your friend here will be able to convince him." Samesh replied back with a hopeful tone
"Don't worry Mr. Bhatia, me and Elizabeth here will make sure that we get your wife's body back home we promise." Glynda answered as she gave a pat on the man's shoulder with pity as she and Elizabeth both had learned that his wife died on Eden Prime and that the Alliance military was holding her body in custody for some reason that Samesh was not told of
"Thank you ladies, if you can actually somehow manage to do this for me then I will forever be in your debt." Samesh said with a small smile
"No need for that honest, but just stay here for now until me and Glynda come back. Don't worry it will be with good news." Elizabeth replied back as she and Glynda walked back to the bar
"So Elizabeth any idea on how we'll convince the man to see reason?" Glynda asked
"Easy we use our ways of persuasion to make the boy see reason." Elizabeth replied back with a smile
"And if he doesn't see reason then…." Glynda asked with a raised eyebrow
"Well you still have your cattle whip right?" Elizabeth asked
"Yes I do Elizabeth." Glynda said pulling out her cattle whip "Why do you ask?"
"Because if our persuasion fails then we can show the man the literally definition of being whipped." Elizabeth answered with a toothy grin
"Elizabeth you just made me respect you even more, still I say we don't whip him too hard." Glynda said with an evenly wide toothy grin
"Trust me I'll let you decide how much he receives if it come to that, speaking of which were here." Elizabeth said as she and Glynda both walked through the bar's entrance to see the same young man still laying his back against the wall looking very bored "There's our boy, let's see if we can persuade him, if we can't well…"
"A good whipping will get him thinking." Glynda said with a very wide toothy grin now
"Excellent, Glynda you and me share two minds alike." Elizabeth said as she and Glynda walked up to the man now who noticed them and straighten himself up in a more professional manner
"My goodness you-your Commander Shepard, you actives lately have made quite a briefing in a diplomatic corps and this must be one of the new humans that came to the citadel like the others. You miss along with your friend have also brought up some very controversial debates within the diplomatic corps as well. But I'm guessing that you're both here not to chat, is there something I can help you ladies with?" the man asked
"Yes you can Mister um…." Elizabeth said but realized neither her or Glynda knew his name
"Clerk Bosker, sorry about that forgot to introduce myself." Clerk answered a little embarrassed by that fact
"Okay then Clerk well like I was saying me and my friend are here because a man named Samesh Bhatia is having trouble clamming his wife's body." Elizabeth said with a bit of venom in her tone
"Ah…right Mr. Bhatia, he's a good man in a very understandable frustrating position. I really do wish I could do something to help him." Clerk said with a slight frown
"Well why can't you if I might ask?" Glynda asked with a raised eyebrow
"As you may already know Serviceman Nirali Bhatia died on Eden Prime, but her fatal wounds actually are inconsistent with any type of weapon damage we've seen before. That's the reason her body is being held." Clerk asked but only to startled by the glare Glynda and Elizabeth gave him
"Wait so you're telling us that you're running test on her body because you might think it's contaminated or toxic?" Elizabeth asked with a very angered tone
"N-no Commander that's not it, Nirali Bhatia body poses no danger…her body in fact is extremely valuable to the Alliance. The test we're conducting may lead to well better defenses against future attacks for whatever else might be out in the galaxy, so respectfully Serviceman Bhatia may actually be saving more lives in death then when she was alive." Clerk said which though was understandable pissed off Elizabeth but before she could say anything a pissed off Glynda beat her to it
"Now listen here I may not have no actually notable say in this, but what you're doing though an understandable cause is just wrong to keep the body of a man's dead wife to experiment on!" Glynda yelled out loud enough so no one else could hear but to also show her stance on this issue
"Look miss I understand you are angered by this and believe me I feel bad I can't help the man out but this could also help out with possible future attacks. Commander you agree with me right?" Clerk said only for Elizabeth to show him her stance on this situation as well
"Like my good friend here said, I have to agree that this little project of yours though for a good cause is going about it the wrong way keeping the body of a grieving man's wife." Elizabeth said very sternly
"But Commander you of all people should understand how we must go to protect humanity!" Clerk said in surprise
"NOT IF WE LOSE OUR HUMANITY, I JOIN THE ALLIANCE TO STOP CRAP LIKE THIS….look what you're doing is noble but is it really worth defiling the dead to achieve it. If we start doing that then we're no better than the same monster that we're trying to keep people safe from." Elizabeth explained in a very stern tone
"I…you win I don't want to risk creating an incident with you, tell Samesh that his wife's body will be delivered soon to Earth. I'll go now and see to it myself." Clerk said as he exited the bar leaving a pretty happy Elizabeth and Glynda alone
"Well that went over very well Elizabeth, I have to say I'm impressed that we we're able to even get the man to agree with us." Glynda said
"I knew we could, come on we should tell Samesh the good news." Elizabeth replied back as she and Glynda made their way out of the bar, once they made their way down the stairs, they then walked over to Samesh who gave a look of curiosity for what they would have to tell him
"Hello again, we're you able to get my wife body back?" Samesh asked
"Yes we did sir, don't worry your wife's coming home just like we promised." Glynda said with a smile
"Oh thank you both so much, I can never repay you enough!" Samesh said as he nodded
"There's no need to, were just happy to help out is all." Elizabeth replied back
"Still either way I have to say thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I have to make a few phone calls to tell my family the good news, thank you again." Samesh said and with that made his was off
"I'm glad we helped that man out, is this what you and the girls had been doing before we even got here." Glynda said
"Yep, you saw it yourself with Ruby and Yang a while ago, we've all just been trying to help out." Elizabeth answered
"That's good to know and it's good to know that they we're founded by someone as kind as you. But not that I'm not having fun hanging out with you but I think I'll be heading back to the Normandy now just to get ready to relax a little and when I say relax I mean take a nap." Glynda said
"That's sounds good, you go do that then I'll be here just for a little longer." Elizabeth replied back with a smile
"Okay then I'll see you back on the ship whenever, have fun." Glynda said as she gave Elizabeth one last smile before making her way back to the docking bay
"Well I guess I'll just sit down for a while a think over a few things for the probably upcoming mission soon…I just hope we all will be ready." Elizabeth muttered to herself as she found a table with a single seat and sat down on it thinking over what the missions to come will bring for them…
-Meanwhile on an unknown planet in an unknown system-
"Citadel HQ this is civilian passenger ship Enra, our ship was mistakenly launched off course into an unmarked sector. Please if you're receiving this message then send us help." An Asari in a tan uniform said in a small hand held radio which only answered back with static
"Forget it Amelia no one is picking up, hell we don't even know if we're in range to get a signal." Said a human female in the same uniform as her friend but had tan skin, Black hair and blue eyes
"I know Teal but still we have to try, we have over a thousand civilians on the cruiser and we need to find a way to get off this planet before we all starve to death or in the worst case we all result to cannibalism." Amelia replied with a scared tone
"Hey calm down, you'll get yourself in a fit again. Look I know how the situation is but I personally don't believe we'll be getting off anytime soon from this planet…whatever this planets is." Teal replied back with a frown
"Well the others are making sure the ship stay's safe, so maybe we should continue to scout around this large forest we're in." Amelia suggested
"Sure better than listening to static." Teal said with a small smile as she and Amelia began to make their way deep in the forest
-Unknown Forest: 5 minutes later-
"Hey teal I think this was a bad idea… like a really bad idea." Amelia said with a whimper
"I know what you mean, feels like we're being watched." Teal answered as she looked around nervously
"Well I think we should go just a little further and then make our way back okay." Amelia replied back as she and Teal walked through the forest a little faster but suddenly a whisper came to them
"Are you lost….little ones?" The whisper said with a female voice along with a curious tone
"Wh-Who said that?!" Teal asked as she and Amelia looked around franticly
"Who…who indeed, you two seem scared but why is that?" The whisper answered along with a sadistic snicker
"BECAUSE WE'RE STUCK IN A DAMN FOREST WITH A CREEP TALKING TO US WHAT DO YOU THINK!" Amelia yelled in anger as she was getting sick of this Planet already
SILENCE, HOW DARE YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE YOU LITTLE PARISITE!" The whisper yelled loudly scaring both women. "I guess you'll both have to be punished now…"
"Wait what does she mean by-" Teal asked only for her to be attacked by a blur as she was pulled into the darkness of the forest only for her fading screams to be hear
"OH MY GOD TEAL NO!" Amelia yelled out as she looked on in fear only to hear the screams of her friend to suddenly go quiet then a growl could be heard
Maybe you should get to running back to your little ship…" The whisper said in a very sadistic manner as Amelia just began to sprint back to the ship but only for a hand to grab her by the throat and lift her up
"Wh-Wha-at…." Amelia tried to say but was have her throat crush a little more by a female figure in a black cloak with her hand clover by a black metal gauntlet
"Oh so close, then again I always loved to play with my toys." The woman figure said which turned out to be the whisper. The woman threw Amelia on the ground who was rubbing her throat
"You….why…why…WHERE'S TEAL DAMNIT!" Amelia said as she coughed a little from the pain in her throat
"Oh your friend you want to see, well….." The woman figure said as she pulled into her cloak then threw onto the ground the decapitated head of Teal with half of her face eaten off while on the other side had the look of horror and agony
"AHAHAHAH!" Amelia screamed in horror as she began to back up only to hit the woman's legs who had somehow without her knowledge had gotten behind her
"Well I will say she did taste pretty good and the screams made it so much more pleasurable, still onto business now." The woman said as she lifted Amelia again by the throat
"What do-do-do you mean…" Amelia asked with all her strength but only to get her answer as she felt a pain in her stomach now only to look down and see the woman's other hand embedded in her stomach
"Theirs your answer." The woman figure said as she began to dig her hand deeper into Amelia's stomach while the Asari began to scream in agony but only for her screams of help to be heard by the sadistic woman…
-Unknown Forest: Civilian Passenger Ship Erna one hour later-
"Damnit where are they?" Said a Turian captain named Varlas, at the moment Varlas was waiting for cadets Teal and Amelia to come back from their scout expedition but they we're forty five minutes late from the appointed return time though his concerns were replaced a few moments later
"HEY WHATS TAKING SO LONG!" Yelled a random human man
"ANGERED: YEAH WHATS IS THE HOLD UP!" Yelled a hulking Elcor which was an alien with massive for arms used to walk on, small hind legs, a long brown skinned body along with a face with two black eyes and a few slits for ear holes, nostrils and mouth holes
"SERISOULY (inhale) WHEN ARE WE (inhale) GOING TO LEAVE!" Yelled a Volus who was accompanied by yells and complaints by the rest of the civilians from the passenger ship
"Calm down please yelling won't help out with this situation!" Varlas yelled out to try and calm the crowd
"THIS ISN'T A TIME TO CALM DOWN, WE'RE STUCK ON AN UNCHARTED PLANET DAMNIT!" A human female yelled out in the crowd while others in the crowd yelled out in agreement statements like "YEAH!" and "DON'T TELL US TO CALM DOWN!"
"Agreement: I say-" A female Elcor started to say but only for her neck to be suddenly have a red line appear then blood began to spill out scaring most of the civilians as the female Elcor's body fell on the ground slowly dying
"EVERYONE CAL-" Varlas yelled out but suddenly was blinded by a red and black light then his world went dark….
-Three minutes later-
"What…what hap-…..oh god no." Varlas muttered to himself a he lifted his body up the opened his eyes only for seconds later to see that the area he was in was covered in fire, the ship was partially destroyed and the civilians were all dead but being consumed by what could be seen as only black blurs
"Hello their captain, like the new scenery?" said the woman figure from behind Varlas
"WHAT, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" Varlas yelled out only for the woman to kick him in the face making Varlas vison even more blurry
"Oh how rude, you know you should introduce yourself to me it's proper manners." The woman said with a smug tone
"Well…. my good LADY, I'm am Captain Varlas now tell me your name if you would?" Varlas asked in a mocking but pissed off tone
"Very well but before you I do that, I think you need to have a little punishment for your mocking tone." The woman said as she snapped her fingers much to Varlas confusion until he hear a snarl then felt a very painful bit on his arm that lifted him up and threw him around like a rag doll for a minute and once that was over with, the attacker let go of the Turian's now mangled arm
"GAH WHAT THE HE-" Varlas yelled out in pain but stopped when he came face to face with a creature that he and most of the Galaxy had only seen in pictures involving the new arrivals…creature called Grimm. If he remembered well this one was called a Beowulf
But this wasn't any normal sort of Beowulf, no this one still had the black fur cover body shape but with many deep scars along with a white cracked mask, extremely long red tipped claws, gray long hair's sticking out from the back of the head, body and arms. The Beowulf also had red eyes but with black slighted pupils. All in all Varlas was terrified as he noticed more Beowulf's along with a smaller Grimm that had long arms, short legs, a tail and a more humanoid body eating the remains of the passenger.
"Seriously…who…who are you!?" Varlas asked with a stuttering voice as the woman just smirked before removing her hood and clock showing a young looking woman wearing full black armor that cover her body only. The woman's face was a gray-whitish skin that had black markings around the eyes along with also a black diamond on her forehead. She had gray hair tied in a bun along with two bangs, lastly she had red eyes with the same pupils the Grimm's had.
"You know if you had asked me this when I was much younger I probably would have been a little more cryptic with you, but since your little friends here have been the first visitors in so many years I want to be blunt before killing you. I'm sure father Sovereign would be happy to see me getting some well need exercise. " The woman said as she raised her hand up which glowed a dark purple "Also my name is Salem and welcome to your grave here on….. Remnant." With that last word Salem brought down her fist at Varlas face and within a few moments the Turian made one last mental prayer
"If there is some sort of god out there….please make sure this monster never makes her way to the Citadel." Varlas prayed to himsefl and within a second later he felt a quick skull crushing pain, then his world went dark and the sounds of life slowly fade away leaving the Turian in the everlasting darkness of death…..
Well how was the chapter, weird but not too weird also did some of you notice the little Easter eggs in this chapter lol. Also more question arise for you all I'm guessing :D But like I said before the next chapter will be the final part of the Rock the Citadel arc. I do hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I loved writing it and until the next chapter I hope you all have a wonderful day or night!
