A/N: And here we go folks, It's finally here. The final trailer for NFG, and honestly I am pretty happy with the black trailer. Because I am not going to just ignore Blake even if I think she can be an iffy character. Instead, I will try and write her with some tweaks to where I can actually like her. The same can be said for other characters, not just in RWBY.
A loud revving could be heard through the streets of Vale, as a rider on a bright yellow bike rode without a care in the world. Wearing shades, and her signature outfit. Yang Xiaolong, the big bad dragon, hotter than the sun had a date for her fists! The bike roared as she hollered in glee. Sirens sounded as authorities chased down the reckless driver, while a raven from above watched her.
Yang gave a cheeky wink, tilting her glasses down at one particular cop. The man blushed, and then let out a curse, as the blonde bombshell rode the bike over a ramp, riding high. He slammed the brakes in a panic, ramming the ramp while she soared over a bridge. By the time authorities managed to drive over the bridge, she had somehow vanished.
As for where the kickass blonde had gone, she hadn't vanished out of thin air. No, she had merely taken a detour to a certain passageway to Vale's old underground city. Back when Vale was a young kingdom, Grimm attacks were frequent, and only when the Greatest of King of Vale came to power, did they truly manage to start constructing a feasible city. But that was built on top ruins, with plenty of ancient tunnels.
These tunnels were removed from the public eye. There were all sorts of people, from the criminals to the hardcore partyers, to underground fight clubs. And Yang dabbled in more than a fair share of all of the above.
"What's up Bitches?!" Yang's voice boomed in the subterranean lair. A few groaned, a few hollered and cheered for her, and some avoided direct eye contact with her. She smirked, she knew she was hot shit, no one fucked with the Yang. She kicked open the underground bar. "Sup. I will take three shots, maybe four if I am feeling extra thirsty." She said slamming a generous amount of Lien on the counter. "I wanna have some buzz before I send the next punk bitch running home to his mommy." With a wink, a roar of applause assaulted her ears.
"You sure about tonight toots? We got a big one." The aging bartender said while cleaning his mug. He was an old man with a prosthetic leg, he was balding save for two tufts of hair spiking out from the sides of his head. Rumor had it, he ran over a hundred jobs. Yang knew he at least had one dust store.
"Gramps. I can handle anything that comes my way, no matter how big~" Yang said knowing full well how that statement could be heard. "So Faunus or naw?" Yang asked knowing a big Faunus could be like a hulking giant.
"Faunus. I think it's a Badger Faunus." Gramps said with a shrug, as he passed along the clean glass to another customer. Yang took the chance to drink her shots, whipping her long golden locks of hair back and forth without a care in the world. Tonight she was going to get her thrills one way or another.
"If I win, drinks are on me!" Yang said with a wild woohoo. The excitement in the air was palpable like a resounding drum. As the hour grew nearer for her match. Yang was positively pumped, dancing on her feet as she threw a few punches. Discarding her jacket before stepping into the ring.
She tuned out the announcer, the cheers of the crowd. Instead choosing to tune into the sound of the bar's music. It was a vibrant energy packed song, with lots of drums. Just the way she liked it. In the opposite corner of her, was a tall bulky tanned man with hair with a white stripe down the middle. His hair was more akin to a mullet, and he had a stone face, with several scars. This was a man that had been in many fights. He was taller than Yang and seemed more agile.
"And go!" The announcer stated. And Yang burst forward like a rocket, moving with a blinding speed. The faunus put up his arms, but by that time Yang had delivered four heavy blows to his midsection. He grunted and leaped back, bobbing and weaving. But Yang didn't chase him, instead, she danced on her feet with a mocking expression.
He snarled but wasn't dumb enough to close the distance just yet. He looked away for a second as he heard objects enter the ring. Dust Crystals? He thought, and that was his mistake. He heard a crunching noise, as Yang was running at him. Her fist scraping along the bottom of the ring, sparks flying from the metal ground. As she punched a lighting crystal, there was an explosion, but the explosion mingled with her aura, creating lighting around her fist. The faunus jumped to the side, but she kept swinging at him, aiming her fist at him.
And pain flooded his body, as magical lightning shot from her fist sending him flying into the cage.
"This your first time in a dust brawl? C'mon. You can do better than that stud." Yang shook the dust off her fist. The Faunus picked himself off the ground, looking at the various Dust Crystals littered throughout the ring. "I will even let you get a free shot. C'mon." Yang smirked, she had the sucker right where she wanted him. Poor Lil shit, probably relied mostly on the fact he's bigger. Doubt he ever had a tiny terror like Ruby to slap his shit around. Yang decided that after his punch, she would go all out on the poor faunus, and show him what being a dust brawler really meant.
The faunus let out a mighty roar, as he charged at Yang. Yang stood her ground, with her arms wide open. His fist connected to her jaw, there was a cracking noise. And the audience quieted for a moment, then the Faunus yelped as he walked backward. His right hand all out of place, and the knuckles raw.
Yang chuckled as she looked at him. "My turn." She said pounding her fists together, the Faunus got into a stance. But Yang vanished before his eyes, she was behind him, he saw her shadow. Before he could even move, she delivered a flurry of beyond ten punches, sending him into the air. He was so dazed from the damage, that he didn't notice her zipping around the ground. Shattering air dust crystals, and keeping him afloat with tornadoes. His aura felt like it was growing fainter, and then the tornado was lit on fire and he screamed. Flailing around, before Yang finally leaped into the air, punching him so hard, he flew right through the cage and out into the crowd. Unconscious, slightly burned, more than bruised, but still alive.
Yang landed on the floor of the ring and grinned as she waited for the count.
"The undefeated champion still reigns supreme. HAIL THE DRAGON!" The crowd began chanting her title over and over. After that, things became hazy after a hardcore celebration of partying.
Patch A Few Hours Later
A loud thud could be heard miles away, as Yang was dumped out of her bed onto the cold hard forest ground, making a crater. "WAKE UP YOU WASTE OF OXYGEN!" The sweet angelic voice of her cute little sister rang in her head, making her groan. She briefly wondered how she got back to Patch but decided to leave that question for later when she wasn't dealing with a pissed-off sister.
"Rubes. Could you give me a sec? I still got a migraine." The reply was automatic firing from Crescent Rose, Yang yelped as high caliber bullets pelted her skin, her thick aura keeping her from becoming a bullet-riddled corpse. "Okay! Okay! I am getting up!" Yang stumbled out of the crater.
"Where the fuck were you last night?" Ruby asked, and Yang looked down at her sis. She was dressed in her workout clothes, with black yoga pants and a red tank top. Her sister was shorter than her, and despite what she claimed. Ruby would likely never see another growth spurt, petite, but despite that appearance underneath her clothes, she was muscled with a six-pack though. Yang may have been bigger and a little beefier, but she knew better than to test her sister's patience
"I visited some friends you know. The usual." Yang said, trying to appease her sister.
"On a brothers damned school night?! You fucking meathead!" Ruby bashed her sister with the folded up Crescent Rose, Yang stumbled from the weight. "Seriously you bimbo, stop acting like a fucking idiot. You're not stupid." Ruby huffed turning her back on her sister as she walked away, leaving the dazed blonde behind.
"Love you too sis," Yang said softly as she walked back to their house in the woods. It was a half-painted cabin, three stories tall. Next to it was Ruby's garage, where she tinkered around day in and day out when she wasn't at school or slaughtering Grimm in the more remote parts of Patch.
Her sister's words rang through her head as she walked up the stairs to her room, changing her clothes. You're not stupid…Compared to a prodigy I might as well be. She thought to herself bitterly, she loved her sister. But for all their lives, Ruby always stood out the most. A bad attitude, and the highest scores in every class of signal, save for one, Hand to Hand. Yang owned that niche, and yet she still didn't want to fight Ruby. I could probably fight her ten times, and lose eight times out of ten. She's pretty damn scary in a fight, poor Cardin learned that the hard way when he kicked Zwei. Yang still winced remembering that day.
While changing, she caught sight of the picture of Raven. She picked up the photo, a feeling filling her chest. She had felt abandoned for the longest time, but over time she grew over it. And she loved Summer as her mother but wished she could be around more. And Uncle Qrow could be good when he wasn't out on the town doing 'Dusty Uncle things'. Yang sighed as she fell back on her bed, there was at least another hour before going to signal. She often wondered why she wanted to be a Huntress, was it because it would allow her to travel the world more easily? Or did she just want to kick monster teeth in like Ruby?
I am honestly jealous of Ruby. She's always known what she has wanted to do with her life. Surpass Summer Rose, become the number one huntress, protect the damned idiots and kick ass. I just...don't know. Yang often wondered what her life would be like if she decided to not be a huntress. But she had a feeling in her gut that she couldn't do that, she wanted to be A Huntress for some reason. And for now, that was enough, it just called to her. She looked around her room, seeing all the posters of boy bands, some chemistry sets, and a black feather on her bed.
She blinked in confusion, wondering when that got there. Did another bird get in the house again? That was chaotic the first time. Yang then sat back up and looked at Raven's photo. I am going to find her, I need answers, to cross off that list. Yang put the photo down with conviction. Today after school, she was going to find answers.
Some Years Later
Yang raced through Vale, the picture being attached to her bike. She had finally gotten some news, a man named Junior would know about them. Junior Malachite, with his nieces the Malachite twins. Yang grinned remembering quite the night with them.
Parking her bike outside Junior's bar. Yang smoothed back her long blonde hair and sashayed into Junior's club. Filled with swagger, this was one of the best leads she had in months in tracking down her mother, the enigmatic Raven.
The beat of the music was catchy as she strolled in, strobe lights were everywhere as she walked down to the bar. "Strawberry Sunrise with Extra Kick, on the rocks," Yang said, feeling in the mood for something sweet. She didn't like to drink hard bitter drinks like her sister or uncle. But she wasn't a lightweight either, she often liked to joke that her family had livers of steel.
"Aren't you a little young to be drinking here?" The voice belonged to the man of the hour. Junior Malachite, was a tall man, about over six feet, probably closer to seven feet. Yang had to look up at him when he spoke.
"Aren't you a little old to be called Junior?" Yang mocked back with a grin. Junior seemed to take the mock in stride and shrugged.
"So you know who I am. So what brings you here sweetheart?" He said, and though he tried to hide it. Yang knew he had peeked down her cleavage. She was proud of her girls, they could come in handy. But it was rather rude to stare without permission.
"Sweetheart, that's an adorable name. Not the first I've been given, and I have several others. Like you know, The Dragon!" She yelled out grabbing his crotch in an instant, Junior let out a girlish yell as he bent over, unable to move from the pain. "But in this case, you will call me Sir. And you will answer my questions, or you will be getting an early dose of nuts in your diet. Capiche?" She said playfully smacking his face with her free hand.
"Ye-Yes Sir." He squeaked out, as his men watched in with expressions of shock and oof, and one even seemed to find it kinky.
"Where is she?" Yang said, pulling out the picture of Raven, and Junior looked down at it with confusion and pain still in his eyes.
"I've never seen her sir. I swear!" Junior looked like he was on the verge of tears, and at that moment his men decided to step up.
"Ooo an Audience. How exhilarating though more for me. I bet you're more embarrassed, and maybe it's the red light. But do I spot a blush?" Yang asked with sadistic glee.
"Blondie-Sir! If you want to walk out of here alive...Lemme go." Yang grinned at Junior's little threat.
"What an interesting promise." Yang tightened her grip and then threw him at his group, sending him flying with a high-pitched squeal. He took several men with him as they crashed into a wall. Yang then smoothly cocked her Ember Celica, the shotgun gauntlets she wore on herself at all times. The thugs ran at her, but it was too late as she jumped into the air, her golden aura charging around her fists. She inhaled, time seemed to slow down for her, adrenaline pumping through her body. As she could feel the flow of aura inside her, burning like a raging fire. She kept pumping aura into her right fist, and then when she came crashing down from the air, the built-up aura caused a massive shockwave that rippled the ground sending the thugs flying away. She stood up, the ground on fire beneath her, but the fire didn't bother her. With a single smirk, she leaped forward, spinning around in the air with a kick to a thug's jaw, sending him back to the ground.
She pumped aura to her feet and dashed forward to another dazed thug, sending him flying with a solid uppercut. Boosting her feet she jumped spinning around, using a double kick to send two other thugs flying. The thugs were annoyed by how she moved all across the room, impossible to pin down. She threw a jab with her left fist, firing her left gauntlet, the bullets sent some thugs back, and those that weren't so lucky or skilled with aura had a few bullets in them. Luckily no casualties yet. She didn't even need to look behind her, and effortlessly kicked the shit out of the two bozos behind her.
This is life. None of that schoolwork. None of those personal questions of what the fuck do I want to do with my life. No Ruby being disappointed in me. In the moment, in the heat of battle. I am Yang fucking Xiao-Long, and I burn! She swept out a thug's legs from under him, causing him to fall backward and while he was still falling she followed it up with a fast uppercut, sending them both in the air briefly. Before she sent him flying back down with a gunshot-infused fist, using her free hand to shoot in the air, the momentum sending her down after him. She then leaped at an oncoming thug, kicking him in the throat, and used the momentum to jump to another thug, kicking him right in the forehead. He knocked back into another thug coming her way, and while he was staggered, she blitzed forward. Hitting him with a two-hit combo, hitting him overhead, before sending him flying with an uppercut. She then thrust her hands forward, firing off both of them, creating momentum that flew her across the room instantly to another group of thugs. She spun around while moving, creating force with a kick, her aura keeping her leg from breaking as she sent them flying.
One thug was bold enough and swung at her, but her gauntlet blocked the blade. She smirked, and then unloaded a flurry of punches into the man, sending him flying with a face that would forever be disfigured for the rest of his days. She quickly turned around blocking another sword with her gauntlets, and countered with a hard kick to the unfortunate thug's nuts, sending him flying screaming for his mommy.
A spray of bullets almost hit her but living with Ruby. She was used to that sort of thing and ducked and weaved as she made her way over to the DJ, in his stand overlooking the massive dance floor. He wore a red stuffed bear helmet. When she was close enough, she fired off her gauntlets to propel herself up in the stand, and fired off another shot, sending her elbow flying into the man. Sending him to the wall with a crater forming, his stuffed head falling off. Yang then slammed his head into his hardware, sparks flew and the song changed. She then fired off both her weapons, sending the man flying out onto the floor, his aura shattering upon impact. Clearly, these weren't your huntsman-level fighters.
Clicking noises could be heard, and Yang turned around to see two girls. Twins. With long ebony hair, slender bodies, and piercing green eyes. They wore high heels and fancy dresses, one in red and the other in white.
"Oh it's you again…" Melanie said with heavy disdain in her voice.
"You have some nerve coming here Xiao-Long," Miltia said, crossing her arms. "After what you pulled last week." She sounded very ticked.
"Oh, c'mon babe. I didn't mean to mix you two up. You weren't even wearing the right feathers." Yang said with an apologetic shrug.
"Let's just teach her a lesson," Melanie said with a huff. Yang shrugged at that knowing there wasn't going to be any more talk, as she reloaded her ammo into her gauntlets. Shells pouring onto the floor from her used-up bullets. She then got into a stance and ran over the DJ's stand leaping back to the floor. But while in the air, she took the chance to charge aura into her gauntlets, and with a little knob in the gauntlets, she used some variant fire dust to send out explosive condensed bullets towards the twins, like screaming fireworks.
The Twins however weren't like the other grunts. The cartwheeled back, dodging the explosives. By the time Yang landed on the floor, they were already running towards her. She fired off more explosive shots at them, but the girls were graceful as dancers, nimbly dodging the deadly display. Once they were close enough, Melanie used the blades in her heels to cut one of Yang's attacks in half. While Miltia circled Yang on the other side, swiping at her with her clawed gauntlets. Yang used a boxer's lean, to dodge the attempted attack. And turned around just in time to raise her fists up defensively to block a kick from Melanie that sent her back a fair distance.
Yang replied with another explosive round, Melanie deflected it with a single kick, making the blast shatter a glass display. Yang could see the subtle wince, that was likely to come out of their allowance. The two sisters then nodded to each other, and both rushed Yang. Miltia going in first with her claws, swiping at Yang. What Yang didn't dodge, she blocked with both her gauntlets and leaped back. Melanie leaping over her sister using two forward kicks before immediately going downward in a leg sweep, scraping the floor with her bladed heel.
Miltia was by her sideswiping at Yang, the duo attacked in such a fast synchronized manner, it took even Yang off guard. I prefer this in the sheets rather than the streets. She idly thought to herself, and then the twins both jointly kicked her back, actually landing solid body blows on her, sending her flying forward to the ground. She quickly got up, brushing off her jacket. Her hair flickered a bright gold for just a moment, but it wasn't time to release the payload yet.
She immediately jetted forward, using her weapons plus aura to her feet. Gotta separate them first otherwise this fight will drag out far too much. She was in front of Melanie instantly and rooting her feet with aura, she fired another shot in conjunction with her fist sending the white twin flying. She then immediately rounded on Miltia, sending a flurry of jabs mixed in with firepower. Miltia was good, but between Yang's rapid punches and a barrage of shotgun shells, she was easily sent flying into the air, leaving her open to a knockout uppercut that sent her flying into another glass structure.
Melanie shook off the dazed feeling from the heavy body blow she had endured a few seconds ago. And leaped away from the blonde brawler, as she kept firing at her and punching at her. Until Yang was close enough for her to leap in the air, and aim a bladed kick at her. Yang blocked it with her gauntlets, but they were both close enough to kiss if the mood was better. Melanie swung several kicks at her, Yang blocking some with her own kicks.
When Melanie's defense dropped enough, she fired a shot at her. But thanks to Aura and her weapon of choice the bladed heels, Melanie stayed rooted in the ground. Then moved again, dodging more of Yang's punches as she glided across the floor like an ice skater. She thrust with her legs in a series of what were akin to jabs. Yang blocked and weaved, and then Melanie slipped up overextending herself, Yang ducked under the kick spinning around and elbowing Melanie in the gut. Melanie doubled over and Yang grabbed her left hand and spun her around her, leading Melanie into a thudding clothesline kick, her aura shattered as she laid on the ground. Yang grinned as she looked at her handiwork in the club, it was all over now.
Then heavy footsteps could be heard, and Yang rolled her eyes as she turned around to see Junior wielding a rocket launcher. His eyes said it all, he wanted her to pay for everything she had done. Yang without a word got into a stance, as Junior fired off a scattered collection of missiles at her, Yang dodged most of them. Then the second shot had some come her way, she fired off her weapon destroying most of them, but one did hit her sending her flying through the air. Yang growled, her aura hadn't taken too much of a beating and she could still kick ass. But it annoyed her that Junior had pulled such a cheap shot on her.
While she was thinking that Junior had bull-rushed at her, the missile launcher turned into a large club. She blocked the first two attacks, but Junior moved deceptively fast for his size. And it took one lucky hit to hit her in the side of the head, and then he followed it up with three more successful hits. But Yang wasn't worried, in fact, she was grinning ear to ear, as she got up from the floor. Her aura flared around her, as her hair seemed to become golden fire. She pounded her fists together, sending a shockwave that shattered the rest of the glass in the room. She then charged at him, moving faster than she had before that moment.
Junior fumbled as he shifted the club back into its rocket launcher mode. A design flaw, her sister would say. But he still managed to get off one shot, but it was too late as Yang ducked under the missile and delivered twenty powerful haymakers to the man, teeth flew out. All the while her Aura continued to burn around her, and then her eyes turned red as she delivered a mighty punch, that shattered the Club, which Junior held to defend himself. He skidded across the floor, panting as he looked down at his shattered weapon and at the strand of blonde hair he had in his fist. He gulped knowing full well the reputation of the Dragon.
Yang's semblance went into overdrive, as the very building shook and Junior could feel the intense heat coming off of her. She let out a pissed-off yell as she leaped at Junior, no one, not even her sister was ever allowed to fuck with her hair! Her fist collided with his jaw, and the shockwave combined with the immense heat, created an explosion that rocked the building and sent the poor man flying out of the building onto the pavement below. With Ember Cellica's knuckles branded onto his face.
Yang felt like she was exhilarated, badass, unstoppable. Then she noticed a pair of black combat shoes with a red bottom. Her eyes slowly moved up and saw her sister's face. A raised eyebrow. "Yang?" NFG asked putting out her cigarette on top of the unconscious Junior, rubbing it in his face. She didn't follow up on the question. But Yang knew she was curious as to what she had done this time.
"Uh… You know how it is. Some rough partying. Nothing much…" Yang didn't tell her sister that she had been searching for Raven. She wasn't sure how Ruby would react to the news, and this was her beef, not her sisters.
"Did he grope you?" Ruby asked, looking down at Junior with contempt.
"No! Besides, I took care of it." Yang waved her off. Ruby snorted.
"Alright Cunt, seeya at home. I am going shopping, maybe if I'm lucky there will be a fucking dust shop open at night." Ruby walked away leaving Yang with a small smile. Her sister for all that she could be always had her back.
A/N: And the final Trailer Chapter is done. That's it, it's done. I am free! But in all seriousness, I had fun tweaking the characters of Ruby's team. Like I want to enjoy writing them, having jokes at and with them.
So to address a few possible questions.
Dust Brawling? I wanted to change up Yang's fighting style a little and add more flair to it. It's not fair that only Hazel gets to punch with Dust. It just looks cool, plus it's a bit of world-building. Where back in ancient times before they had shifting weapons, they would use dust in everything with clothes, weapons, and if you didn't have a useful semblance, you could use it with yourself to supplement. Plus like the Blake Chapter with the dust plasma weapons, I wanted Dust to be utilized more in my story. Feels like a wasted concept.
Why did you copy the trailer fights? Well, a few reasons. One they were cool looking. Two I wanted to flex my writing muscles and get used to making my own original fights from here on out. Three, I wanted to give context to the fights for my version.
Will there be any more trailers? Probably not. Unless people actually ask for them for some bizarre reason, but my main goal is now NFG the main story. No more spinoffs. I will do my best to do every character justice, it's one reason why I trimmed down the student body.
And the reason the black and white trailer were more somber? Well, honestly they are going to be the straight gals as it were of the group, to bounce off Ruby and Yang. but they will change thanks to their influence.
