Ch: 36- Origins Pt.1: Our beginnings...
(Our story begins eons ago, on our world that was named simply Prime-000. A world much larger than any world now a days in this galaxy. It was prosperous, a golden age where technology continued to be created with the normal life span being extended much beyond their years; but not yet close to immortality. Truly for our people, known as in English The Primeval, it was a time of great discovery and peace. At least… it was for me and the girls here. For we were born to the six very well-respected councilors of our world. The six who ruled over our world in a sort of monarchy mixed with a republic. We we're in a way princess already, but also to be the future leaders of our world. Though unlike our parents, we four were always… different.)
"Willow come on, you'll miss it!" A seven year old Raine yelled out joyfully as she pulled one of her four long time besties over to an outside open window. She had pale skin, silver eyes, neck length red hair with some black on the tips and wore a grey/black/ dark grey colored uniform. Her friend Willow wore the same thing. Though Willow had white long hair tied in a pony tail, with blue eyes but also had pale skin like Raine did
"Raine slow down and I'm still mad at you for waking me up during my nappy…" A eight year old Willow answered with a grumpy tone as she pouted a bit, making Raine stop as she looked at Willow before smiling widely
"OH YOU ARE SO CUTE, I LOVE YOU!" Raine joyfully screamed as she hugged and kissed Willow's cheeks which made Willow smile along with blush too
"Raine, I know our parents have betrothed us to be. But sometimes I wonder if you really love me." Willow stated with a shy tone as Raine smiled wider
"Of course I do and when we get married I'll be the best wife to you I can be!" Raine explained joyfully as she pulled out two rings, one red that she put on her ring finger. Then grabbed Willows right hand putting a white ring over her ring finger "There we go, now when people see me and you in the our home; they'll know your my wife to be!"
"Raine you always know how to make me feel better." Willow responded back as she gave Raine a kiss on her left cheek making Raine giggle in delight, before they heard two more sets of small footsteps come in from behind them "Oh big sister Yoana, Blair I am so happy you could make it!"
"Well I always love to spend time with my baby sister and my sister to be when like we're older." An eight year old Yoana answered kindly as she patted her baby sisters head. Yoana wore the same uniform as Raine and Willow, had pale skin, purple eyes and long blonde hair. She then happily held onto Blairs hand, with her yellow ring showing "So kitty, like the ring I got you and me?"
"I do Yoana, I do and thank you." An eight year old Blair answered back with a quick kiss on Yoana's lips and a nuzzled on her nose as she looked at ring finger with a black ring on it. Blair like the others wore the similar uniform though unlike the others with her, she had a pair of real cat ears on her head
"What can I say, I aim to please my wife to be." Yoana explained with a bashful grin, before getting a teasing flick on her forehead by her way in the future sister in law
"Enough with your bravado, you got too much of it as it is." Willow joked as Yoana stuck her tongue out, followed by Willow doing the same before both snickered followed by the sounds of trumpets suddenly
"It's starting, girls come on we can see it from here perfectly!" Raine stated joyfully as she and the girls looked out the window to see a large military parade going on with many of the citizens cheering/ Meanwhile blood red flower petals were thrown out in joyful glee, Raine just watched with wide eyes of excitement "SO PRETTY!"
"Baby sis, we can see that." Blair responded in amusement of her future baby sister in laws excitement, then she took notice of their troops with new shiny grey and black armor covering their whole bodies while carrying newly made black painted rifles. Blair then looked to Willow "Willow, looks like your mom and dad made new stuff for the troops."
"Yeah, that's why I've been here more often in this part of our fortress in these past few months since they needed space to work on the new armor and weapons. Then again… that's always since I was just baby now that I think of it." Willow explained, though sighed sadly a little before smiling once more snuggling with Raine "But that gave me more time to get closer to my Raine."
"You're so sweet." Raine stated joyfully, until she heard trumpets then "Oh our parents are coming, I just know it!"
With that Raine, Willow, Blair and Yoana looked back at the parade to see a large mobile stand come up with six people on it sitting in what looked like thrones. All of them wearing the same dark grey long robed outfit and dark grey veil/mask hybrids that covered their faces. The six waved to the crowds and the girls smiled widely seeing their parents even if they rarely if never spent time with them. Though as the girls watched this go on, Raine noticed something she had never seen before. She saw what looked like the mobile stand their parents rode on were being pushed by rows of people. Each row came from the to the back of the float in the form of said people pushing large wooden poles. Though that's not what suddenly made Raine feel off. What made her feel off was that these people all looked way to thin to be considered healthy, had messy hair, tired looking eyes, ragged clothing and what looked like horrid scars all over their bodies. It didn't help when she saw one of the royal guards come up on horse back whipping the one of the people on the back as they winced in pain, but still kept pushing. Willow, Blair and Yoana soon noticed this too, as they along with Raine watched not their parents or the troops pass by; but the people who were being whipped. They watch and watch in uneasy curiosity until the mobile stand passed, once out of sight the girls moved back inside the room with very uneasy looks on their faces. After what seemed to be a few good minuets passing by, Yoana decided to break the silence.
"So… what was that about?" Yoana asked worriedly as she felt very uneasy still from having watched those people get whipped, all the while kept pushing their parents; well now she nicknamed it the whipping mobile
"I don't know, but it makes me feel sad seeing those people getting whipped like that." Willow explained with a frown
"Yeah, why would they do that?" Blair asked as she was confused on why those people needed to be whipped
"Maybe we can ask our mommies and daddies?" Raine suggested, though seemed to already know that wouldn't come up with any actual answers; especially with how little they actually saw their parents or more to the fact her and Yoana's mom. Since for some reason Blair's ad Willows parents never came to see them, if they did it was only to do a few second check up then leave quickly
"Hm…don't think that will do much for answers." Yoana replied
"Guess so." Raine stated, though suddenly got a great idea "Or and stay with me gals, we could finally sneak out of the fortress like we always planned too!"
"B-B-But Raine, we've never gone out by ourselves or out at all…. I'm scared now." Blair responded as she started shaking nervously, then the girls gave her a caring hug
"Its okay Blair, we're all scared. But I think Raine has a point." Willow explained
"Yeah, think about it. We can finally see the outside and not have to stay in here all the time. Even if this fortress is literary like a city in it's own right. " Raine explained
"Yeah…I guess so, but if we're going then when should we?" Blair asked
"I'd say now since almost no one other then some of the maids are here and not at the parade." Yoana explained as she began to smiley widely
"Yeah, lets go." Raine and Willow stated as they smiley widely too before looking to a less nervous
"Alright lets, but we should be quick so none of the maids see us." Blair suggested as Raine, Willow and Yoana nodded in agreement as they made their way out to the front entrance of the fortress, though they hoped this would go smoothly
(Our world, that day I and the girls for the first time questioned it. Questioned what our beloved government truly was like. Seeing those people whipped for no reason what so ever was eye opening, so after we finally did make it out of our then life time fortress made home. We finally met some of those people, which had come from the parade which ended by the time we finally were able to get out of the fortress. That was the second thing that really helped to bring us closer to what we would become in the future.)
"Finally, I swear Blair you are such a scaredy cat sometimes." Willow remarked in slight annoyance with her future sister in law, as Blair huffed crossing her arms
"Shut up Willow, not everyone can be as brave as you are." Blair answered angrily as she stuck her tongue out at Willow who did the same
"They're at it again." Raine muttered with a small frown as Yoana sighed
"Girls you're both pretty okay, so let's just make up okay?" Yoana suggested kindly as Willow and Blair huffed some more, before sighing too
"You're right..." Willow and Blair said, before looking at one another with sheepish smiles "Sorry sis."
"There we go, now we're all happy again!" Raine joyfully yelled as the girls giggled at Raines ever so happy tone, but as they kept making their way off they finally made it into town. Though as they entered it, they took notice that people suddenly went wide eyed seeing them and moved out of their way quickly before quickly walking off or staring in awe at them
"This is weird." Blair muttered
"Yeah kitty, it really is." Yoana responded as people kept making their way around the girls or yet again stare at them in awe. The girls just ignored it as they kept on, until Raines stomach started to growl
"My tummy is hungry." Raine said with a whimper as Willow squeal at how cute Raine sounded just now, but quickly composed herself as she patted her future wife's back
"It's okay Raine, let your super wife to be help you." Willow proudly stated as Raine smiled widely at the words. Willow then looked around to see a bakery, so she made her way in followed by Raine, Blair and Yoana quickly. Once inside they saw four young woman working the bakery, all looking like sisters from the similar tanned skin, green eyes and black hair. All of the woman also wore grey uniforms with black aprons and only one girl had a white cap. The girls looked to one another, not sure what to say until Raine elbowed her big sister to do so. Yoana nodded, before clearing her throat to address the four busy girls
"Um, excuse me?" Yoana asked, but the busy girls didn't hear her
"Tira kept working on the bread, I'll take the pies to make." One of the four sisters order as she had her hair in a bun
"Sure Unli. But just be careful with the stove, it's been acting weird again." Tira answered as she had a short hair style that was much shorter on the back of her head. She looked at one of the other girls, one working on some noodles and smiled "Miyira you doing good on those noodle's?"
"Yes I am thanks." Miryira answered with a bubbly tone as she had her hair in long pig tails, then she looked to the last girl with the white cap and her hair tied in a long pony tail "Tuli how are the bisects coming?"
"Good very good, but we just need to kept at it girls okay. If we keep at it I know we can get this place the well earn rep it deserves." Tuli responded with a small smile as she worked on the biscuits still, until she noticed the girls and went wide eyed immediately "OH MY GOD!"
"Huh what?" The other three sisters asked until they saw the girls too and went wide eyed with smiles "OH MY GOD IT'S OUR PRINCESSES!"
"Wait what?" Raine asked in sudden confusion as the four ladies jumped over the counter and began to fawn over the girls at how cute they were, how honored they were to be in their presence aa lot of others words of joy; thought after like a minuet Blair finally had enough of this strangeness
"CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY EVEYRONE IS EITHER SCARED OR OVERJOYED AROUNED US?" Blair screamed, only to realize how loud she had been as the others all stared at her "Eh…I mean please… sorry."
"Oh no, no princess Blair it's okay honest. Me and my sister may have come on a little too strongly just now, but it's just we… well we've always wanted to see our four glorious…" Tuli explained first, but let one of her sisters go up next
"Strong, brave…" Unli said next with a small smile
"Smart, talented…" Tira remarked joyfully as Miyira cut in
"And not to mention absolutely adorable princess!" Miyira happily instated "Which is you four little gals."
"Wait a minuet, we're princesses?" Yoana asked
"Of course, you're family is royalty and our rulers. That makes you four our princess, you know that." Tuli replied with a smile, which fades as she and her sisters noticed the utter confusion on the girls faces "Right, you should know that?"
"Yeah I mean you must have been taken out and around the other areas of our glorious nation." Tira stated as the girls shrugged "Oh my, are you saying this is your first time ever out here. Have you been… well have you been in the fortress all your life?"
"Yeah, it's like a while little city in there so we never had need to come out." Raine explained shyly as the sister looked at one another again in sudden shock
"That's not right, I don't want to speak ill will of your parents but…that's neglectful." Miyira stated with a sympathetic tone as her sisters had to agree
"Well I don't know, what do mean by that miss?" Willow asked as she and the gals were suddenly starting to questioned a few things about themselves along with what other things they didn't know of
"Well I mean, parents are supposed to let their kids out to play, make friends and learn. I don't care where you're from, all kids should get those freedoms." Miyira explained "Sounds like to me that your parents failed in that aspect for you four and you being our princesses make it much worse!"
"Well I mean… our mommies and daddies still love us." Raine responded, though only for her and the girls to hesitantly look at one another as they had always had doubts on that
"Really, because and I'm not wanting to say ill will on our rulers too; but I find that hard to believe." Unli remarked as she gently patted their girls head "We and the other citizens love you more than I even think your parents may dears."
"Well… Raine dear you have to admit. Our moms and dads can be less then ah… loving with us." Willow explained as she frowned "And we've rarely ever seen them… other than your mom, but even then that's a rare occasion."
"You poor sweeties." Tuli said, giving the girls a sympathetic smile though had a feeling these girls just weren't out because they we're curious; at least part of it "May I ask princesses, but why are you out here anyways. It can't be just because you were curious?"
"Well I guess you're right, we need to find some place." Yoana stated
"Where?" Tira asked curiously
"Ah… we don't know really." Blair answered shyly
"You don't know?" Miyira asked now, raising an eyebrow
"Well can you explain it?" Tulia kindly asked as she patted Raines and Yoana's head gently, then Blair along with Willows after "Please?"
"Okay, we were looking for some people who got whipped." Yoana answered "See why they were and if they were okay."
"Whipped?" The four sisters asked in bewilderment
"Yeah, they were pushing our mommies and daddies float." Raine explained "We wanted to see them, like big sister just said."
"Oh… them." Tuli stated with a quiet tone, before looking back at her sisters "Gals, if you mind I'll take them."
"Are you sure?" Tira asked
"Yeah I mean they're just kids." Miryira stated worriedly
"Yep, yep and it might scare them." Unli replied as she didn't seem to like the idea
"Even so, they want to see the slaves and I think it would be a good lesson for them. Besides I need to make a stop there anyways." Tuli explained as the sisters hesitantly agreed then got back to work, Tuli meanwhile quickly went into the bathroom to her right. After a minuet or so she came back out with the usual grey uniform "There we go, now girls I'll take you there but promise me you won't leave my sights."
"Yes ma'am." Raine, Willow, Blair and Yoana kindly responded as Tuli then lead them out of the store. Once out, yet again citizens were staring at the girls those some gave Tuli glares of jealousy, hatred or amusement. Tuli just ignored it, while she lead the girls over to where the whipped people were at. After a while, they finally made it which for the girls was a very uneasy sight for them
"Oh my…" Raine muttered as she and the girls had arrived finally to where the people who had been whipped stayed at thanks to their new friend. Though the sight was gruesome as the people all had their clothes still dirty and ragged; though most had blood on their clothes as they huddled with one another for warmth along with comfort
"Why are they like this?" Blair asked as she teared up a little, Willow did the same along with Raine
"Yeah, can we go down and help them Tuli; please?" Yoana asked with a desperate tone to want to help these folks; the others then stopped tearing up as they gave Tuli the same look of wanting to help these strangers badly with their wounds. This made Tuli smile at how kind these girls were
"Of course dearies and I so in fact have some medicine that can help them. First though lets get you four introduced to the leader of this group. So they don't get to antsy when they see you." Tuli explained
"Because we're princess?" Willow asked curiously
"Ah… yeah, let's just say it's a bit more complicated but yeah." Tuli answered as she began making her way down to the people, though motioned the girls to follow which they did for a good minuet and a half. Once Tuli stopped, the girls saw a large muscular man in ragged grey clothes, with ragged boots, ragged pants and a tore jacket. He had tanned skin, blue eyes, a black buzzcut hairstyle, black unshaved beard and many scars across the exposed parts of his flesh. The man didn't take notice of them or Tuli for a seconds as he seemed to be mumbling to himself
"Ruktor?" Tuli asked, but the man seemed to still not take notice
"He seems busy Tuli… and scary." Blair stated as she hid behind Yoana who protectively hugged her future wife to be
"I know he can seem like that, but he's a nice man." Tuli answered, as she waved her hand in front of the man who didn't responded back still
"Kind of rude." Willow muttered as Raine nodded in agreement
"Yeah." Yoana said as she then walked up to the man, then like a child her age thinking of ways to get someone's attention; she yelled "HEY MISTER, WE'RE TALKING TO YOU!"
"Huh what?" Ruktor stated as he looked around to see Tuli, but not the girls "Tuli nice to see you, very nice to see especially after this parade."
"Yes I brought the medicine like usual." Tuli happily explained, as she handed Ruktor a small vial of green liquid from a small bag she had kept hidden in her uniforms jacket. Ruktor drank it half way as his he stood back up quickly smiling
"Ah much better." Ruktor happily stated, before noticing the girls and looking at them warily "Who are they?"
"Ruktor, follow me. This might take a few minuets to explain." Tuli answered as she quickly moved the man over to the far left of the camp. The girls meanwhile just stayed quiet, looking around to see all the wounds and pain the rest of these people were in. They felt bad for them, they didn't understand why these people were hurt like this; but they knew it wasn't right. Not because of anything their parents taught them which wasn't much as that was usual left that off to their tutors who weren't need anymore since they learned all they needed to know of their history, according to their parent or more so to the fact Raines mother. Still they just had this instinctual feeling that these people shouldn't be whipped like they were at the parade or being used at all to push a simple float that they knew all had motors in them so they could move on their own. After a few more minuets with the girls feeling as uncomfortable from seeing what they were, Tuli and a Ruktor came back up
"So… Tuli has explained the situation to me." Ruktor said with slight shock still in his tone, as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly "You four really didn't know your status until today or that you four have never even come out of the fortress till today along with the fact you don't even know what we are. I mean me and the people here, you came here to see if we were okay along with figuring out why we we're being whipped. Didn't you parents teach you four anything?"
"Well mostly on our history and stuff, though nothing was never said about us being princess along with well what ever kind of people you are." Willow explained as the others nodded in agreement
"I see, then I guess I have to educate you then. Take a seat girls this might take a bit or at least crush what innocent perspectives you had on your homeland into a million of shattered pieces of dead hope for the future of our race." Ruktor explained with a very dark tone as the girls just stared at him wide eyed
"What is wrong with you at times for real?" Tuli asked as Ruktor sighed, Tuli rolled her eyes before taking out her pack of medicine from her jacket "Never mind, I'm going to give the others their medicine. Girls stay here and listen to Ruktor. Just don't mind him if he acts a little odd, he's old so yeah."
"Hey." Ruktor responded in slight annoyance, thought Tuli snickered a bit before walking past the girls; but not before giving them loving pats on their heads. The girls then looked back at Ruktor who was staring at them
"So… will this be bad?" Raine asked shyly
"Yes, but you have to know this girls. You see we're know as slaves first off." Ruktor explained, though stopped as he decided to let the girls take that word in
"S-l-ave?" Raine asked curiously as she looked at the others "What's that mean?"
"Sounds like food." Yoana interjected as Blair just nodded in agreement
"Well it must mean something with people." Willow said, before she gave Ruktor a quizzical stare "Right?"
"Yes it does little one. You see we're people who have been forced into this current lifestyle as laborers. Given little to no rights as other citizens have, taken from our homes and villages outside the city walls." Ruktor continued to explain, but stop when he saw the girls wide eyed yet again "You didn't know that too did you. Didn't know at all that there was a world beyond this one. Correct?"
"Yeah I mean we didn't know that at all, the books told us that everyone lived in the city and were like super happy." Yoana answered
"Also why would people want to force others to work and why would they be treat them so badly. It just seems so…" Blair began to say, but seemed to be getting very upset by this new information
"Cruel, evil, inhuman. Yeah I know that for a fact, I know that for fact very well indeed." Ruktor explained with a sigh
"What do you mean mister?" Raine, Willow, Blair and Yoana asked
"Believe it or not I use to serve in the military." Ruktor explained "In fact was first general of our army."
"No you couldn't be, our books said that General Dawson was-" Willow began to argue, but stopped when Ruktor laughed suddenly. The girls look at him oddly, before he ceases seconds later
"Dawson, they got Dawson to be the new general. Oh that is rich!" Ruktor stated as he began laughing more, the girls still looking at him oddly until he stopped and took a few breaths "Sorry, sorry I just find it hard to see that my old secretary became the new general. She couldn't lead her way out of hole less an army. My ex-girlfriend would have been ten times better."
"I am so confused…" Yoana said as she rubbed her head, though it helped that Blair gave her a comforting kiss on the cheek
"Me too, but at least we're confused together." Blair kindly stated as she and Yoana hugged one another
"AW!" Raine and Willow said, before Raine realized they were getting off track then looked back at Ruktor along with the others who realized the same thing
"Anyways, if what say is true. Then why aren't you in any of the books?" Raine asked
"As they say ladies, history is written by the victors." Ruktor explained sighing some more "So you know the facts, I was a merciless and monstrous man in my youth. Though after a good few years of being the general I started I guess you can say growing a concussion on what I was doing. Then I just ask question one of your parents orders and boom, I'm the slave you see before you. I won't go into full details but yeah, life has not been great or well as great as it could get." Ruktor explained as the girls just looked at him surprised, they didn't know what to think at the moment "You okay?"
"They will be soon slave." A woman suddenly said as she was one of the councilors of their world, she came by herself, had voice that of a regal yet stern angel. She was also Raines and Yoana's mother
"Madam Alma." Ruktor replied with a mocking salute, only for Madam Alma to glare at him from under her veil; but decided to not waste her time as she looked down at the girls "What are you four doing here, your suppose to be at the fortress."
"Well um mo-" Raine and Yoana were about to say, but both girls stopped feeling their mothers stern gaze on them
"Um… Madam Alma, we just wanted to see the outside is all." Willow answered as she was trying to stay calm as possible, though always found Madam Alma unnerving especially since she, Blair or even her daughters had never seen the woman's actual face
"Y-Yeah, we we're curious." Blair stated as she was hugging Yoana from how scared she was of Madam Alma
"Is that so, then tell me how you found this place. None of you four could have found it." Lady Alma asked
"That would be my doing Madam Alma." Tuli said with a respectful tone as she walked back up to them, having hidden the medicine bag back in her jacket; meanwhile Madam Alma looked Tuli over warily
"I see and pray tell why you would take them here, even by request citizen?" Madam Alma asked, though it seemed more like an order to tell her than a question
"Because… well because I wanted to help educate our princess. Forgive my words, but I believe they need to learn about the outside world sooner then later. If only to become well trained and well versed leader of the future my lady." Tuli explained, even though internally she was feeling like she was about to pass out from how scared she was; especially since she could tell Madam Alma was staring at her while in thought
"Please… please don't hurt her." Raine muttered worriedly as she wondered if her mother was thinking of that, though oddly enough in a rare moment she laughed for a few seconds before stopping
"My oh my, I have to admit you have much intuitive miss. Most others would have just let the girl be on their way alone, you though. You decided to take them here on your own accord. Bravo." Lady Alma stated as she patted Tuli on the shoulder, then turned around to make her way off; but decided to add in one more thing she had just decided "Oh miss, since the girls have taken a liking to you and you seemed to have taken a liking to them. As of now you and anyone else related to you within the city limits will be these four girls watcher until a time is needed they are old enough to become our future leaders without you. Is that understood and also don't worry you'll be well compensated."
"I…" Tuli tried to say, but stopped knowing that Madam Alma was ordering her to do so; not that she minded since she had taken a quick liking to the girls along with her sisters feeling the same. She also could see the girls had taken a very quick liking to them, that and being compensated to do this from someone in the royal family also was a bonus. Though being able to spend time with the girls felt more…rewarding to her "Yes Lady Alma, I understand completely."
"Good and girls get home soon." Lady Alma remarked as she made her way back home, then after a few more seconds she was out of sight
"Well that was fun." Ruktor said as the other turned their attention back to him "Anyways, you girls should get home and since you'll all be able to get out more. Come by and visit us, you'll learn a lot more information than what your past tutors allowed you to know."
"Okay sounds like a plan mister Ruktor!" The girls yelled out joyfully, smiling widely as Ruktor chuckled before looking to Tuli
"You found a good group of kids Tuli, well anyways I'm getting some rest so till next time." Ruktor stated kindly as he gave them a goodbye salute, before going into one of the ragged tents given to the slaves
"He's a nice man, if a little odd." Blair said in amusement
"Yeah but I'm glad we got to meet him." Yoana responded, though frowned a bit "Even if some of his truths were… not settling."
"It's unsettling, not well not settling like you just said Yoana." Willow replied back, though gave her future sister in law a pat on the back "Still I feel the same way, really it was… eye opening."
"Yeah." Raine stated as she still felt unsettled by some of the truths that had been revealed to her too, she then looked back at Tuli before suddenly yawning "Can we go home now please, also sorry about …well about Lady Alma. I'm sure you didn't want this to be push on you and your sisters."
"Actually I don't think we'll mind at all, besides you four need all the help you can get when it comes to learning about the world out here. So again we won't mind one bit." Tuli responded back happily "Now lets get going, you four need some sleep."
"Okay!" The girls said joyfully, though to Tuli's slight surprised Raine and Yoana grabbed her hands, followed by Willow grabbing Raines other free hand then Bair grabbing Yoana's free hand. Though the sudden hand grab from Raine and Yoana got a smile out of the woman
"Alright, stay close and I'll get you four back home soon." Tuli kindly stated as she and the girls made their way back to the fortress, though the girls now wondered how their life's would be from now on
(It was surreal for us, to have learn all of that in a matter of day. Our perspectives of our nation had been shattered. Though if I can say one thing about Lady Alma, she only did one good thing as a mother when she assigned Tuli and her sisters to be our basically caretakers. After that day the years went by for us, we would always wake up and go out the fortress despite what some of the nobles thought of us doing that along with the rest of our parents. Still during our years of growing up, we would always see Tuli and her sisters, along with going to the slave's camp to secretly make their life less hellish. Though after all the years learning about our world even more, we began to hate our nation and our government. Most notably the nobles and the councilors, as we began to see them as… the mistakes that made the hell hole the way it was. Finally we had enough, as on one day during a week from our shared birthdays with Willow, Blair and Yoana turning seventeen while I turned sixteen. We finally decided to enact a plan, one that we had been forming up to do for a very long time)
-The Bakery, years later-
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday princesses. Happy birthday to you!" Tulia, Miyira, Tira and Unli sung happily as the girls all were sitting down at a round table with a homemade cake for them to share
"Well what are you waiting for blow out your candles." Tira joyfully stated as she and her sisters all looked basically the same, other than getting some lines on their skin from their age finally showing; still all four were lovely sights even if a bit older
"Yes aunty Tira." Blair kindly responded as she had turned into a stunning sight to see, with her skin becoming a oliveish tone, bright yellow eyes with purple eyeliner around her eyes, long raven black hair tied in a pony tail, her cat ear bigger but still very cute and her fangs grew a bit longer too as they popped frim under her lips. She wore like the other girls the same uniform style of dull gray and black. Though of course, a new pair to uniforms to fit her and the girls still maturing bodies. Also like always, the girls all wore their rings they had gotten years ago
"Just to say this look really good aunties, you did great. Then again you always make great cakes." Willow happily remarked as she had long white hair, ice blue eyes with no make up to brighten her natural beauty, though she had a scar across her left eye now; from a training accident which had healed up leaving the scar quite visible
"Well yeah they do, I mean they're probably the best bakers in the city." Yoana exclaimed proudly with a wide smile. She had long blonde hair, illicia eyes with some black eyeliner around them and gave off an aura of calmness/ seriousness at the same time
"Anyways, gals shall we blow out the candles?" Raine asked as she had grown the most different from her long red hair, sliver eyes with black eyeliner and naturally flawless pale skin. Even when wearing such a dull uniform, her beauty and kindness shinned as she gave off a feeling of peace to those around her. Blair, Willow and Yoana nodded in agreement as they along with Raine blew out the candles; once done the sisters all clapped
"I can't believe you two are so old already and so pretty too." Tuli happily remarked as she hugged both girls around their necks and gave them kisses on the cheeks "My pretty girls."
"Thanks mom." Raine and Yoana happily replied back as they gave their adoptive mother a kiss back on her cheeks. Tuli had in secret surprisingly, but had adopted Raine and Yoana as her own daughters a year after first meeting the girls. Willow and Blair were actually good with the idea, explaining back then that they saw Tuli along with her sisters more as aunts then parental figures. Then again none of them really worried about the girls real parents finding out about this, since none of them had ever shown any sort of parental love towards them other then their mom and dad's conceiving them. Other than that, the girls saw the sister as their real family, though it did help that the sisters along with Ruktor and the other slaves helped out with their girls secret double wedding a year prior to today. It was a joyful day as Raine and Willow married one another, while Blair and Yoana did the same with each other. Many tears were shed that day, tears of joy and the girls have been very happy with their marriages since then
"Anyways, what are four planning on doing now?" Miyira asked as she cut pieces of cake for the girls
"Hm, well other than spending time with our loved ones." Yoana stated as she and Blair kissed. Meanwhile Willow and Raine did the same, followed by a loving cuddle despite the cake being placed in front of them "I think we're finally going to go with the plan."
"The plan?" Unli asked "You mean that plan?"
"Yes auntie Unli that plan. We think it's time and with the way things in the city have been going down lately. Better time then none." Raine answered "Mister Ruktor got all the gear right?"
"Oh he did, but he really didn't think you girls would be doing it anytime soon dearies." Tira explained with a concerned tone "You know if this doesn't go well, we're all good as dead even you four. Despite what your status is."
"We do know that, but again no time better than right now. Our parents have raised taxes and made laws so unreasonably that this is needed. They even exiled some of their most loyal nobles, fearing that they might gain enough political power to overthrow them." Willow said as that news had been shocking to them along with the rest of their nation, though their parent's behavior had been getting worse and worse with each day
"Yeah and we're worried that they will eventually kill one another until one is left and has total control." Yoana stated as out all of their parents, Lady Alma would be the worst one to take over as the woman out of all the rulers was the most…coldest and emotionless for the most part
"I see, then I guess it will have to start soon. You have the citizens and the slaves support on this. The nobles, royal guard and your parent's personal forces will be the issues to fight through. Though it is good to know we have a decent portion of the military on our side, makes me feel good to see that we have troops that feel the same as the rest of us do about your parent's rule. The guns and armor smuggled out is a help too." Miyira remarked with a small sigh of relief
"Yeah…"The girls muttered as they hoped this would work, but as they thought it over suddenly the sounds of gun fire could heard
"What was that?" Blair asked, but got her answer as one of their troopers came in
"My ladies, they're attacking. They're killing the people on the streets like animals!" The trooper explained
"What why?" Raine asked as she, the girls and the sisters got very serious all of sudden
"Some one killed off the remaining councilors. One of their own but we don't know who. But we need to get the soldiers ready quickly!" The trooper explained
"Right, Unli, Tira, Miyira you'll be coming with me to get the message to the slaves, troops and civilian militia that I know by this point have regrouped back at the meeting point." Tuli ordered
"Right!" Unli, Tira and Miyira responded as they made their way off with the trooper. Though Unli gave each of the girls a kiss on the foreheads and then handed Raine a key
"Mom?" Raine asked in sudden confusion
"That's the key to our weapons cabinet. The girls and I saved up to get you four some personal weapons. You'll know which ones yours are. Just stay safe." Unli answered with a small kind smile, before making her way out the same directions her sisters and the trooper had went off too
"Well if I'm a guessing a girl, I think I know what the weapons closet is." Yoana remarked as she and the girls looked to see a large cabinet that was behind the bakeries counter. As the made their way over to it, Raine looked at the lock and saw the key fit it perfectly. After she unlocked it, their weapons were revealed to them
"Huh, now this makes sense on why they never let us near this cabinet." Blair joked getting a quick laugh out of the girls, who nodded in agreement. Their weapons were all colored black with silencers on them, one was a revolver, one a sniper rifle, one a pistol and one even a sawed off shotgun
"Sweet." Yoana said as she picked up the shotgun, along with picking up also in the cabinet a belt of shotgun shells for her to use "Well this will do a lot of damage, even with the silencer on it."
"Indeed, how did they know I love revolvers." Willow said with a sadistic chuckled as she took the revolver and extra ammo that came with it "Oh the bloody fun I'll have with this beauty!"
"Same here, I think I'll get some good head shots in." Blair remarked with an extremely bloodthirsty smile as she took the pistol and extra ammo "So many head shots."
"Either way ladies, lets get ready for some blood shed." Raine stated with a dead serious tone as she took the sniper out and extra ammo. Though as that happened, a royal guard saw them and aimed their weapons at the girl. Only for the royal guards gun to be shot out of their hands by Blair, then followed by Raine who shoved the barrel right against the royal guards helmet before basting off a round that splatter the back their brains from the back of the head. Then as the body fell Raine smirked proudly "One out of a bunch. Ladies, lets get to the slaughter."
"Indeed." Willow, Yoana and Blair responded with sadistic laughs as they and Raine charged out of the home. Though seconds later the sounds of royal guards and nobles being killed in horrific ways began to quickly fill the streets with their echo's; followed by the girl's utter laughter in joy
(Yeah, we can see the look on your faces. But you have to understand, those nobles and royal guards were the scum of the earth along the troops who stay on their side. They were cold blooded monsters that had no issues with kill anyone and everyone in their sights. We took joy in seeing those monster dead, still after a good four days of killing our enemies and saving civilians. We finally made it up to the fortresses front doors. Our forces had come in full force and it was surprisingly very even with how everything was, though our opposing side's forces were starting to loss their moral as more of theirs died. Mostly by our hands just to say, still even with their forces dwindling; we didn't expect our true enemy then to show up in the battle field.)
-Fortress front entrance- 4 days and 15 hours into the rebellion-
"Hold the line men!" Ruktor screamed as he threw another grenade in, blowing up a few nobles into fleshy chunks
"Sir can how much more longer is this, I mean both our sides can't hold out much longer?" A female trooper asked as she blind fired off a few rounds, before ducking behind the trench they had made to avoid the bullets flying off the ground
"Soon, I hope soon that it will be over. But we must wait for our princesses to arrive to help with the final assault." Ruktor stated, as a few more of his troopers died from either getting shot through the head or being riddled with bullets as blood spattered and bodies on both side kept falling to the ground dead
"Um sir, where are they anyways?" A male trooper asked as shot a few rounds killing a royal guard
"Coming to our position now, they were with their family back at the base camp helping with the injured and dead." Ruktor answered as a nobleman had tried charging at them with a knife, was quickly shot in the face by Ruktor. Though as more noblemen and royal guards decided to charge at them with blades, all were shot up dying quickly. Then the rest of the royal guards and Noblemen died soon after with the same results, though the shot had come from behind Ruktor group
"The hell did that come from?" Another male trooper asked in slight shock
"From our princess." Ruktor replied with a smile as Raine, Willow, Blair and Yoana came up all of them in well made armor that fit around their bodies well giving off an agile if not also sturdy look. Ruktor walked up to them while his troops cheered a bit moving up to the fortresses front door to see if they could all pry it open together
"Oh we are so glad you're safe." Blair said in relief as her armor was midnight black, with purple lining and white accents; though her right hands ring finger was bare as her ring was on it
"Indeed, apologies for that but we we're still patching up some of the injured children." Willow said next as her armor only had one difference, which was a skirt added to it that had sharp edges. Though her armor also had a pure white color to it, with some red and some sky blue, along with the ring finger of her right hand bare; with her ring on it too
"Yeah, but we made it in time and that's what matters in the end." Yoana said next, as her armor was like Blair's if not a bit bulkier around the shoulders. Her armor was yellow, with some orange, black and brown as accents. Like Willow and Blair, her right ring finger was bare with her ring on it
"Anyways, since we're here and since the forces here have been dealt with. Now we break through the door and make sure we are freed from this hell hole of a government. Once that happens, we'll have to figure out where to go to next." Raine stated
"Indeed, but whatever happens today girls I just want to ask you one thing to do before you take rule." Ruktor asked, but before he actually could explain his question he suddenly went wide eyed as a child ran down his spin
"Ruktor?" The girls asked, all wondering what was going on with their old friend
"Shh." Ruktor responded "Don't you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Yoana asked as she and the girls listened to hear nothing, suddenly that realization popped to them
"We hear…." Blair began to say with slight hint of worry
"We hear nothing." Raine answered for her sister in law
"How is that possible?" Willow asked, but then a sound of foot steps could be hear. Ruktor turned around while the girls moved next to him. What they saw quickly was Lady Alma, covered in a lot of blood while surrounded by the dead bodies of their troopers. Lady Alma looked at them and even under her veil, they could sense the woman was glaring at them
"Shh. The kids are sleeping." Lady Alma stated with a tone of glee as she pulled out a set of twin daggers "You all will have to sleep too."
"Where are the others Lady Alma?" Raine asked as she and the girls got in front of Ruktor with their weapons ready, Lady Alma just laughed a bit before stopping a few seconds later
"Oh you mean the other councilors, I killed them all. My friends and husband, you know why. Because I could and I wanted to do so, I am the sole ruler now. So with that said girls…" Lady Alma remarked as she took off her veil to show she had pale skin, red eyes and long black hair. She smiled as the girls, especially Raine and Yoana were shocked to finally see their birth mothers real face. Lady Alma though got into a battle ready stance, making the girls get ready quickly seeing what was going to happen "Get ready to die."
"Ruktor get going now and get the others out of here!" Raine ordered
"Right, you four just stay safe." Ruktor responded back, as he quickly made his way off to the base camp
"You know he'll die too along with all those with him." Lady Alma stated with a sadistic smile as she looked at her daughters "Though I'll make sure you two watch as I slowly kill your precious mommy. I know I should have killed her and those sisters of hers on the day you broke out of the fortress. But I was in a good mood for once, oh well everyone makes mistakes."
"Speaking of which, as me and the girls have always wondered. But why were you and our parents always cold to us when we were younger. What reason did you have to keep us in the fortress?" Raine asked as now was better than any time to ask this question
"Yeah, you turned out to be a shit mother to be honest." Yoana stated "By all rights, me and sis here see Tuli as our real mother."
"Oh boo hoo, get over it brats. I only gave birth to you both out of necessity since I was supposed to give birth to an heir. After that I just let you two be, we had enough staff to take care of you. For why you were never to be let out of the fortress. Well look at what it's brought, you four starting an opened rebellion. Don't think we didn't catch on, but we decided to let it happen or well I did more of the fact." Lady Alma answered smugly
"What do you mean?" Blair asked as she glared daggers at the woman
"Haven't you ever wondered why your parents never spoke to you even when seeing them pass by you in the halls of the fortress while only I ever spoke?" Lady Alma asked as the girls raised an eyebrow at that, while she continued on "You see girls for all these years I've been the ones pulling the reigns. After your births years ago, I decided that a shared rule wasn't going to cut it. So on the night after your births I well… lobotomized them. Made it so they would have no wills of their own. They were my puppets as I was the puppet master."
"Why though, what reason could you have to do that?" Willow asked angrily as the girls nodded in agreement
"Because their love for you would have gotten in the way of the perfect society I designed to make. One where only those I see fit live and the rest died. I need them to help though, mostly as figure heads so I could make my plans come to be. So yeah that's, that and now once you're dead the rest of your little friends will died after in the slowest ways possible." Lady Alma explained with a very sadistic tone and smile "Now girls again, ready to die?"
"Over our dead bodies you sadistic bitch." Raine stated with a glare as she and the girls waited for her to make the first move or to find an opening to attack
"That's the plan girls." Lady Alma remarked as she charged straight at the girls with a blood thirsty grin
"DIE!" Raine, Willow, Blair and Yoana screamed as the began shooting at Lady Alma, with that their battle began
-Five days later-
(Our battle raged on for about five whole days, with it being intense and bloody. The battle broke through many of the city structure and-)
"Whoa, whoa hold on a second." Yang said as she cut off Raines story
"Um yes?" Raine asked
"Okay look not to be rude, but why does this story seem to be going by so quick already. You like literally skipped like a bunch of others stuff I have a feeling could add more to your story." Yang explained, though as Raine was about to responded; Yoana cut in
"Okay how about you shut up and let my or well I guess our little sister finish explaining huh?" Yoana asked in slight annoyance with her reincarnation
"Back off lady, who do you think your trying to tell to be quiet?" Yang asked angrily
"Okay one I'm your elder and two I'M YOU YA MORON!" Yoana screamed angrily as Yang and her glared at one another. Though Blair and Blake suddenly grabbed both blonde's left ears
"Enough you two behave." Blair said with a stern looked at Yoana, while Blake nodded in agreement
"Ow, ow okay we will promise!" Yang responded back with a whimper as Yoana nodded in agreement with a whimper too. Both Blake and Blair then let go of their girl's ears, then did a quick pat on their heads
"Wow, they're a lot an alike." Weiss remarked as Ruby just nodded in agreement, Willow and Raine just moved next to their respective reincarnations as they watch too
"Yes, though if I may ask Weiss. Me and my love Raine can see you two are also in a relationship with one another. But ah when you two have sex, Weiss are the more…submissive one?" Willow asked with a smirk, as Weiss blushed heavily covering her face with her hands
"Since I can see that was her answer, Ruby that must mean you're the more dominate one. Do you…do the things with her feet and legs?" Raine asked with a wide smirk, as Ruby blushed very heavily "Oh, oh, oh my little gal. You're just like me, wait… let me ask. But do you do the thing where you start to rub each other's-"
"Please stop Raine, please!" Ruby asked with a very embarrassed tone, while Weiss made an embarrassed whimper noise
"Raine my love, I think you've embarrassed them enough." Willow remarked with an amused smirk "Anyways, you still have to explain the rest to them dear."
"Right, right. What would I do without you helping me?" Raine replied with a warm smile as Willow moved over to her, then gave her a kiss on the cheek
"Well it's good you never found that out my love." Willow answered as she the looked over to Yoana and Blair along with their reincarnations. Though it seemed that Yang and Yoana were being scolded once more by Blair and Blake. Willow snickered a bit seeing how much her sister's reincarnation were like them "Ladies please come back, Raine is continuing with our story."
"Sure thing sis." Blair said as she, Blake, Yoana and Yang moved back to them. Thankfully by this point Ruby and Weiss had calmed themselves down enough
"Anyways, before my big sister stopped you. Would you like to please continue?" Ruby asked kindly as Raine smiled
"Of course. Now where was I… oh right the fight." Raine said as she cleared her throat before beginning once more
(Anyways, the battle went on for a long while with Lady Alma. Causing much damage to the city. After the fourth day the girls and I were tired; but we kept on with the battle. Mostly because of the adrenaline and our need to protect the everyone. Still after four days of battle, the thing to turn the tide of the battle was to come soon.)
"COME ON OUT GIRLS, I WANT TO SAY HELLO WITH MY REMAINING DAGGER!" Lady Alma screamed out with a wide, blood thirsty smile as at usual attire was destroyed; showing underneath a set of well crafted golden/ black colored armor that had a dent, stab mark and bullet marks on it from the battle she had been doing. Meanwhile Raine, Willow, Blair and Yoana were hiding behind a wrecked building a few yards away; checking over their improvised melee weapons as their guns had run out of ammo on the third day of the battle; along with being destroyed by Lady Alma right after they ran out of ammo
"Okay so, how are we all holding up?" Raine asked concernly as the right arm of her armor had been torn off leaving her bare right arm exposed. Her bare right arm had a few bandages tied around it, while her ring still was on her ring finger along with the same going for the others who still had their rings on too. She had replaced her empty sniper rifle with an old farmers scythe she found a while ago
"Good sis, good. I just hope this ends soon." Yoana responded as her armor had a few scuffs and dents on it, mostly from the dagger hits her witch of a birth mother had done when Lady Alma tried stab her. She had replaced her shotgun with a pair of old brass knuckles she found in one of the houses she'd been thrown into during the fight with Lady Alma earlier on
"We all do my love, but until then we have to keep on fighting." Blair answered as her armor had lost only its gauntlets on each hand, her forearms along with hands had bandages on them. She had replaced her pistol with a katana she found at a blacksmiths shop, being thrown into it right after Yoana had been thrown into a building
"Indeed, I'm sure we can beat her soon. She's getting tired more than us at the moment." Willow exclaimed as her armor had been the least damages with only a scratch and two dents on it. She had taken a rapier as her replacement weapons, which she found just laying on an alley way of all things
"Yeah, ladies you ready?" Raine asked with a determined look
"Yeah." Willow, Blair and Yoana said as they got ready too, though suddenly they were blasted into a more open area as a grenade blasted against the ruined building behind them. They quickly got back up, thankfully having kept a good grip on their weapons. Once up, they looked behind them to see Lady Alma standing a few feet away from them still smiling with an even bigger bloodthirsty grin as she got her remaining dagger ready to kill them this time
"Well I guess my last grenade didn't do the job. You four are so resilient you know that?" Lady Alma said as she lunged at the girls, Raine being the one to block the attack as sparks began to form with both blades pushing against one another. Raine quickly kicked Lady Alma in the stomach, pushing the woman back as Blair and Willow came in about to stab the woman; but she quickly dodged as she elbowed both girls in the face flinging them back onto the ground. Yoana came in next as she got a right hook across Lady Alma's face. Lady Alma was able to keep her footing, then spit out some blood from her mouth before punching Yoana hard in the stomach despite the armor covering it. Then as Yoana tried to recover from the sudden hard hit, Lady Alma thrusted her dagger at Yoana. But Yoana despite the pain, caught the dagger's blade with her right hand. Lady Alma then smirked as she slowly began to pull the dagger back out cutting into Yoana's hand, as the blade was actually cutting through the armor just enough to cut into the flesh of Yoana's hand
"AHHHHHHH!" Yoana screamed from the sudden pain, but as Lady Alma pulled the dagger away. She didn't take noticed of Raine coming in from the left as she jumped kicked the woman in the face hard. Once she did that Raine landed on her feet, Raine used her scythe as she impaled it into Lady Alma's chest plate before flinging her off into the ground a few feet away from them hard
"Big sister you okay?" Raine asked worriedly as she quickly moved over to Yoana who was quickly wrapping her hand in cloth she kept in her pocket
"Yeah… ah, damn that dagger is sharp." Yoana stated as Willow and Blair limped a bit back to the sisters
"Oh thank god you two are okay." Willow said as she gave Yoana and Raine a quick hug
"Really we are glad." Blair said next as she joined in on the hug, before she and Willow released the two sisters from the hug. Blair then looked to see Lady Alma getting back up, though slower than before "Seems like Lady Alma's injuries and fatigue are starting to get to her."
"Oh yeah." Raine Yoana and Willow said as they got ready along with Blair
"You know girls, I have to say. But I'm actually very proud of you four…you show all the qualities I would expect from our future leaders. Bravery, willingness to go on despite your injures and also the power you're displaying." Lady Alma remarked as her armor seemed to be much more dented from Raines attack then what Raine had believed it would do. Lady Alma then sheathed her dagger as she smiled a toothy grin at the girls "To bad… to bad I have to kill you."
"Really, you kill us. Your only one woman who's on the verge of passing out. What makes you think you can beat us now?" Raine asked sternly
"Well… because this." Lady Alma remarked as suddenly the pupils in her eyes shrunk, then after that suddenly an aura surrounded her as her body healed up quickly like she hadn't even been in a fight despite how damaged her armor was "Ah, much better."
"W-What…how?" Willow asked in shock as she and the girls suddenly felt a chill down their spines
"Hm, oh this. Well you see I've been able to do this since I was a little girl. The only one of our race to be able to do so. But I guess you can thank grandfather for that one. He spent so much time genetically attuning me to become the perfect killer. Using science and magic of our ancestors to create well…hm I still haven't found a catchy name for this power. But either way it wont matter to any of you, you're all going to die starting…. NOW!" Lady Alma explained as her body glowed once more a bright silver coloring, then suddenly the girls fell to the ground in pain as it felt like their bodies were in agonizing pain
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US?" Raine asked as she was tearing up along with Willow, Blair and Yoana doing the same
"Oh right, well you see thanks to your grandfathers experiments after I got powers. It seems to add one more ability to me, again don't have a catchy name for it; but I can by will deliver agonizing pain to my opponents." Lady Alma explained as she kicked Raine in the face hard
"T-That's how you did it huh…why no one could stand up to you with the villages outside the wall, the citizens in this city of ours… because you would do this to them huh?" Blair asked angrily, only to get kicked in the face hard too
"STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE!" Yoana screamed in rage, as she crawled to Lady Alma grabbing her right leg hard. Lady Alma scowled at the suddenly interaction, kicking Yoana hard in the face only for the girl to keep her hold
"Get off me you mistake child!" Lady Alma screamed in rage, as she kicked Yoana in the faced two times more before finally after the third extremely hard kick Yoana let go being flung near Blair
"Yoana!" Blair screamed as she looked over her wife with a teary look, trying to make sure her love was okay
"YOU BICTH!" Willow yelled, as she tried to lung at Lady Alma only to be knee in the face hard pushing back Willow onto the ground as she laid there with a very bloodied nose
"Hm…you know I could kill you three right now. But I think I'll make you four first watch as I kill your leader." Lady Alma remarked as the girls suddenly started to scream in more pain from Lady Alma using her power once again. She then walked up to Raine who was still in pain as she stomped her foot onto Raines right thigh hard "Well now, I'll have them listen to you die slowly. So any last words my second mistake child?"
"G-G-G…" Raine tried to say, but was in so much pain
"Hm, what's that?" Lady Alma asked with a mocking tone and smug smirk
"I… was trying to say…go fuck yourself you cunt." Raine answered as she fought through the pain to look at Lady Alma with a toothy smirk. Though that didn't last long, as Lady Alma scowled. She then took her dagger out, then slowly pushing her dagger into the center of Raines stomach despite the armor covering it still. Seconds later Raine began to feel a sharp pain "AHHHH!"
"Aw, what's wrong. Does it hurt baby, do you want mommy to kiss it better!" Lady Alma asked with a very sadistic tone, a wide smile and a look of that she had been waiting for this day to kill Raine for a long time
"AHHH!" Raine screamed more as the pain was becoming more abundant as the blade slowly began to cut deeper into Raines stomach
"STOP DAMN YOU!" Yoana screamed out as she Blair and Willow tried to get back up to help Raine, only for them to experience even more pain as Lady Alma slowly magnified her powers to immobilize the others till she killed Raine. Raine just kept screaming as Lady Alma took great joy to slowly impaling Raines stomach
"Take note kiddo, because this place will be the last thing you see as I take you life." Lady Alma remarked as she was smiling so much that it seems like her face got stuck like that. Raine looked over to the girls, seeing them in utter pain; though she saw her wife looking at her with a teary gaze as she reached her hand out to Raine. Raine then looked Lady Alma, suddenly feeling an increasing rage overcome her
"No….no….NO I WILL NOT DIE BY A HORRIDE BITCH LIKE YOU!" Raine screamed as suddenly her ringed glowed red, then a bright light happened blinding and blasting away Lady Alma. It took a few seconds before Lady Alma got back up, rubbing her head from the sudden pain
"What…what the hell was that?" Lady Alma angrily asked as she looked to see Raine suddenly stand up and to her shock an aura began to cover her body. But as Raine stood there with a red colored aura shrouding her body; suddenly strains of light encompass Willow, Blair, Yoana. All three then stood back up too moving next to Raine. Once they were all together, their bodies healed up not as much as Lady Alma's had; but enough that they could fight on much longer. Finally runic symbols in the colors red, ice blue, purple and yellow appeared on their skin; Lady Alma went wide eyed as she slow back up while the girls slowly moved up to her "H-H-HOW, how is this possible. This can't be possible?"
"You know, possible or not I think your as good as dead." Raine remarked with a smirk as Lady Alma scowled
"SHUT AND DIE!" Lady Alma screamed out as she was about to use her powers of pain once more, but before she could Blair suddenly sent out a feral looking clone of herself which lunged at Lady Alma; then quickly slashed Lady Alma's stomach cutting a bit; along with drawing out some blood "AH DAMMIT!"
"Not so fun to feel pain is it?" Willow asked suddenly as she appeared behind Lady Alma, while her body began to be encased by ice around the legs and arms. She then summoned a glyph from under Lady Alma which launched the woman up in the air, but only for a swarm of withered white dead arms with claws to grab on her impaling her a bit before tossing her around like a rag doll; before finally smacking her straight down into the ground making a small crater
"Ah…what…what is going on…this shouldn't be happening…" Lady Alma stated angrily a she got up slowly with her body bleeding heavily. Only for her to get a tap on her shoulder to see Yoana's body burst in flames as she pulled back her fists before delivering a solid punch right in her face sending the woman through the air. Yoana then summoned a dragon of flames as it shot out engulfing Lady Alma before crashing into a broken wall
"Funny, because it is happening you crazy nut job." Yoana remarked with a small smirk as she cracked her knuckles
"Nice one dear." Blair stated happily as she and Willow moved up next to Yoana
"Indeed, that was BLAZE of glory." Willow joked, only for Blair and Yoana to sigh
"Hey sis, leave the bad puns to me okay?" Yoana asked
"Yeah, Yoana can do them well." Blair joked as Yoana gave her wife a small smirk
"Well I tried." Willow responded back, though suddenly they heard groaning as they looked to see Lady Alma coming back up; though badly injured as she slowly began moving towards the girls who got ready to attack if needed
"You… you think you can beat me. I am queen Alma the most powerful, most beautiful and smartest person on this god forsaken rock. So what gull do you have to-" Lady Alma began to rant angrily as she was in a daze of a psychotic break down, but while she was ranting suddenly a red blur passed by her around a dozen times. Seconds after Raine appeared in front of the girls who were wide eyed to see what her new-found powers were, Raine the turned around glaring at Lady Alma who was uneasily still
"You know, I should be thanking you for what you did. Without your veil ways me and the girls wouldn't be the good people we are now, we wouldn't have found our true family and we wouldn't now be the new rulers of this world. But unlike you, our rule will be just and peaceful. Still… I guess just the one time I will say, thank you and now die." Raine stated as she snapped her fingers, second Lady Alma burst into a heap of cut flesh, organs and blood as what was left of her body laid in a gory heap
"So… that's it?" Blair asked as Raine looked back at her, her big sister Yoana and her wife Willow. Raine was stone face for a few moments, before sighing and smiling
"Yes, it's over and we won." Raine happily said as the girls ran up to her for a group hug. Raine returned the hug quickly, while Willow and her gave one another a loving kiss on the lips. Once they released one another from the group hug, the girls moved to look right at the fortress which by this point had been destroyed from the four-day battle with Lady Alma
"So since we won, where do we go from here dear?" Willow asked
"Well for one, we get the others and tell them of our victory. Then we start with a lot of changes to our government." Raine explained happily as she and Willow held hands, Yoana and Blair did the same as the four princesses already could see their new world; once of true peace and equality
-Back in present time-
"So that's, that or at least the first part of it." Raine kindly said as she was amused at how the girls just stood there and listened like school children
"So…any questions?" Blair asked, seeing that their reincarnations were being too quiet
"Well no… we're just shocked. I mean hearing that and what you did…" Ruby explained as she and the girls look at one another with uneasy looks on their faces
"Yeah, no offense to you all. But we didn't feel that comfortable knowing how many you killed and how much joy you had while doing so." Weiss stated
"Yep, even though we understand how bad the nobles, the royal guards and well Lady Alma were. It still doesn't sit well with us." Blake said next as Yang just nodded in agreement
"That is understandable, I mean from what we've been able to tell from your memories. You four haven't had to deal with much bloodshed or at least taking sentient living lives of your own." Yoana responded
"Indeed, though if you didn't like that part. You sure won't like the next part of the story. The much longer part." Willow explained with a sympathetic tone as the girls looked to one another again with an uneasy look
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked, hoping it wasn't as bad as her girlfriend's old self was saying
"Yes and no, you see you will be learning about our new rise during our long rule over our newly reformed peaceful world." Raine explained
"That doesn't sound bad." Blake stated happily
"Oh yeah." Yang said with a smile
"Indeed." Weiss remarked as it helped her feel at ease
"Yes it does, so lay it on us older me!" Ruby joyfully asked with a wide smile, though Raine just sighed "You okay?"
"Yes, you didn't let me finish for one and two you somehow must have just forgotten what my wife said too." Raine explained as the girls sheepishly smiled, making Raine sigh once more before smirking a bit in amusement "Still I guess you're like us in that sense too, we always would do the same. Still you only have heard of our beginnings, you will now hear of our rise and sadly our fall."
"Oh…" Team RWBY said as they frowned a bit
"Yes oh, are you still sure you want to hear this though?" Raine asked, as Ruby looked back at Weiss, Blake and Yang
"Girls?" Ruby asked as Weiss, Blake and Yang looked to one another; then back at Ruby with confident smiles along with a nod yes. Ruby smiled a little as she looked back at her old self "We are Raine, so whenever you're ready."
"Good, now then our rise began when we passed our trials as four young princesses and became the soon to be known benevolent along with well know powerful rulers of our new kinder world…" Raine began to explain, as the girls listened wondering what their rise would be like and also wondering what caused their world to fall…
Alright end of the chapter, first off if most have you took notice. This chapter was shorter and yeah it is, though it's because Raine in the story decided to at least make this part short. Now when I write up the next part, it will be longer and more in detail. Also if this looks rushed it wasn't, I just wanted to make sure that was said just in case if at any time reading this that came across your minds. Well that's all for this chapter, until the next chapter I'll see you then and if you feel like asking me question then PM me. I'm always open to hear what my readers have to say about my story so far. Till next time, I wish you all wonderful days to come! : D
