"Oooooooh, pretty... Think it does stuff?" Ruby asked as she got down on her hands and knees and looked at a glowing pink ball that was sitting on the ground. It was nice and glowing, lighting up the darkness of the cave around them. It was implanted into the ground around it, and there was a small waterfall nearby that had water flowing through rune lines in the ground that surrounded the ball.
Yang, her lucky partner, was standing behind her with a grin on her face as she looked at the glowing pink waterfall, which was illuminated by the glowing pink ball.
They had gone north, and they had passed by some really huge ruins that were sticking out of a canyon. Of course, they had seen a hole in the cliff, and just had to climb down and check things out. She was pretty sure this was the wrong thing to do, but it seemed so much fun that she just had to do it, because why not?
Yang's moto was "Have fun, pick fights, and screw safety" for most of the awesome things in life.
"Ruby, I know it does stuff... so pretty and pink." Yang said as she poked the ball with her foot. Ruby watched the ball do nothing, and both of them pouted at the ball not doing anything. It didn't even react when Ruby grabbed it with her hands.
She started to pull on it, but it was wedged into the ground too tightly for her to pull it out.
"Yang... give me a hand here." Ruby said, and Yang looped her arms around her sister's waist, and using Ruby as leverage she pulled on Ruby. Ruby on the other hand, added force to the pulling and pulled on the orb. Yang took a few stebs back, and she was forced to lean forward thanks to the orb not budging an inch.
"What kind of glue did they use here!?" Yang asked, since even her impressive strength wasn't making the ball come undone. Their combined strength wasn't helping them out that much.
The orb budged a small amount, before it popped out of the ground and the two of them were sent tumbling, with Ruby holding the ball to her chest.
The ground started to rumble a great amount more than it had been doing the last few minutes when they went into the cave. The sisters came undone and stood up, while Ruby grinned as she looked into the ball.
"Yeeees, this is so cool." Ruby commented to Yang, and Yang looked around at the ground. It was shaking now, and despite how she liked adventure... the strength of the shaking wasn't something she wanted to test out.
"Come on Ruby, lets get out of here." Yang told her sister as she started to walk, and quickly, out of the cave. It wasn't a very deep cave, just deep enough and with a small number of turns. Ruby followed after her, holding onto the pink ball. She was enjoying the coolness, as in how cold it was, against her chest. It was nice and refreshing, so she could walk with it for awhile if she had to.
"I'm keeping this." Ruby said to Yang, who shrugged her shoulders. She just wanted them out of the cave before it collapsed around them.
"Keep it. Jump." Yang said as she jumped out of the entrance of the cave, and landed on a ledge down underneath them. Ruby followed after her, and they could see the ruins that were coming out of the canyon. The ruins looked like they belonged to a tall city... a city that was built on the inside of a canyon, with several super tall buildings.
"Jumping." Ruby reminded Yang, since they jumped several times, and climbed, to get to this point... well, not this point. Apparently, they came out of a different enterance than the one they had gone into the cave through.
They landed on top of a stone bridge, which was connected to the side of the cliff overlooking the canyon.
"Now we walk, I don't think this is the relic... so maybe the relic is south of here. I mean, if we went so far north we hit a canyon, we might have gone too far." Yang tried to reason. She tried to remember where the ruins might be from the air view she had gotten earlier on the way down into the forest. This spot was the outer edge of the forest, and there weren't very many ruin locations in the forest.
"Might?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow, and the ground rumbled for a moment. Both girls started to run when the bridge started to crack and collapse.
Pieces of the bridge collapsed, and fell into the darkness below, and as more fell down more cracks appeared... before the entire bridge started to fall down. The girls started to run faster than before, and Ruby activated her Semblence of Speed and tackled Yang using her speed. The two of them went flying and appeared on the grass in a flash of rose petals. They rolled across the ground, while the bridge collapsed completely behind them.
"... Yep, earthquakes." Yang said dramatically, since the ground was still shaking a little.
"Duh, they've been happening for awhile now." Ruby reminded Yang, and her sister lightly punched her across the cheek, more playfully than a normal punch. Ruby rubbed her cheek, and Yang stuck her tongue out at her. Then she blinked when she noticed that Ruby was still holding onto the pink ball.
"You really-" Yang started, before the sounds of an Ursa's roar could be heard very close by. Ruby and Yang jumped onto their feet and activated both of their weapons, Ruby storing the ball in the back of her hood.
"Nora!"
"Huh?" Ruby and Yang asked, before they were shocked when they saw Nora riding an Ursa and beating it over the head with her weapon to control which way it went. Ren was running behind her, not quite able to match the speed of the creature with his own speed. She was laughing like a crazy person as she rode the demented killer creature.
Silver and lilac eyes watched in confusion as Nora rushed towards one direction, using the Ursa as her "noble" ride.
"This is awesome!" Nora shouted with amazement, since killing an Ursa was something any trained person could do, but riding an Ursa... that was something else completely.
"Never again Nora!" Ren called out to her, since he was the one running behind her as they went back into the forest, leaving the clearing.
...
"That was weird." Ruby stated as she rubbed the back of her head. She had no idea what to make of that, honestly.
"Yeah... lets follow them, see where they go." Yang said as she rushed after the Ursa riding girl, with Ruby following after her. The two of them weaved through the trees, though they weren't close enough to catch up to the people they were following.
"Think this will lead us to the relics?" Ruby asked her sister, and as they ran they felt another rumble that was bigger than before. They tripped and the ball rolled out of Ruby's hood and hit the ground. Ruby rushed to pick it up, before she found herself, with Yang, in a clearing that had a large platform in the middle of it.
Nora had accidently blew the Ursa's head off, while Ren was panting and holding onto his knees to catch his breath.
They weren't the only ones in the clearing.
Blake and Weiss were already collecting a chess piece for themselves, and they had taken a golden (white) knight chess piece. Blake was holding onto it, and they looked to see the new arrivals to the clearing.
"Ruuuuuuuun!" Jaune's voice was heard as he ran into the clearing, holding onto a blue ball like his life depended on it.
The ground started to shake more the closer Jaune got to Ruby, and the balls they were holding started to glow brighter.
Pyrrha was running after Jaune, and the reason was made apparent moments later when a large Nevermore flew above the clearing and glared down at them. Yang crossed her arms and whistled, wondering how they had attracted the attention of the giant bird. Nevermore that big were tough, hard to take down. They were durable enough to withstand a good few of her hits, and even her explosive rounds were only a little effective against something of that size.
"Here Nora..." Ren said as he threw a white Rook to Nora so that she could keep it safe, since it was the piece that he knew she would want.
"I want a horsie." Yang said to herself as she grabbed the horse (knight) and put it between her breasts, stuffing it down far enough that it was no longer visible. Jaune stopped running and just watched the knight vanish into her cleavage. "My eyes are up here." Yang reminded Jaune with a light grin on her face.
She didn't mind the look, she had been asking for it by sticking it in her cleavage... and hey, guys would look.
Nothing to get angry over.
"See Jaune, I believe these are the relics." Pyrrha spoke as she took a Rook for herself and placed it into her bag.
"I'm still keeping this, it is... glowing brighter? Oh, hey! You got one too?" Jaune asked when he noticed that Ruby had a glowing pink ball in her hands. She smiled, before she ran up towards him and showed him her ball. The balls started to glow brighter than before, and both Jaune and Ruby tripped when the earth underneath them started to shake more violently than ever before.
They both fell onto their butts, and the balls were attracted towards each other.
They shattered the second they touched each other, and the pieces turned white as they scattered around the ground.
"Oh... they broke." Ruby said sadly, while Yang went over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, no use crying over it." Yang reminded her, while Pyrrha helped Jaune to his feet.
The earthquake stopped.
"Oh... this is Dust, but nothing I'm familiar with... maybe an ancient combination?" Weiss asked as she picked up a piece of the shattered dust balls. She had never seen dust like this before, or at least it wasn't on record as a naturally mixing dust, or mixed together in human knowledge. It was most likely an ancient type of mix dust, combining several different types of dust in special amounts to create something like this.
"Does it matter... yes." Blake said when the pieces turned black, and started to float into the air. They turned from Dust into raw black energy, before they shot together and began to multiply. The large mass of energy started to grow bigger, and become more solid appearing. It's huge body was large enough that it towered over the trees around them, nearly the size of a mountain in raw size.
It wasn't a Grimm, it didn't have a mask on it.
It was large, and it appeared to be similar to a monkey. It's torso was nothing but spinal cord with sharp spines, and it's head was a torso with a mouth on it. It had teeth made for grinding, with large blunted fangs that were larger than the other teeth. It had arms coming out of it's torso, arms that nearly touched the ground. It had no head, since it's mouth was in the middle of it's torso. Large feathered wings formed out of it's back, and it had monkey hands and legs, with hand-like feet.
It lacked any eyes, but it had a large dark grin on it's face.
It's long tail waved behind it, before it took a deep breath.
"Sheesh, what did you guys unleash?" Naruto asked when he dropped out of the air and appeared next to them. He had seen the beast forming, so he had some to see what was up with them.
It sort of looked like a Satori, a mysthical beast of legend that was known for the ability to read minds, and had monkey-like traits... but it was more twisted than that.
"Naruto!?" Everyone called out, shocked that Naruto was with them, and Naruto waved to them, before he glanced up at the beast that finished forming completely.
Well... this was going to be pleasant.
Chapter End!
No, this Satori isn't the Naruto-verse's Satori... but at the same time it is. I can't say much more.
