Now anyway back to Tucker trying to help Yang heal while avoid dieing via Yang's Dad. Let's get right into it, shall we? Also need weapon names for the Reds and Blues, see the trailer for details. Also putting this to a vote now if you think I should finish making the end story of Church Full of Roses or not.
Yang's House:
Tucker has chosen to stay and attempt to have Yang recover from her injury both mentally and physically. Of course, because he was living in Taiyang's house he was going to live by his rules and rule #1 keep a 5 ft gap between him and Yang.
Luckily he was out of the house, so he got slightly closer to Yang than previous encounters where he was interrupted. Today he was giving her one of his famous shoulder massages that would work on all the ladies, but this time it wasn't his intention. He was doing this simply to have her heal from her traumatic experience.
She began enjoying this as Tucker has seen her give a faint, but very noticeable smile as she lifted one side of her lip enjoying it. She has started to turn on the TV, only to see news reports that were unsettling to her.
-Reporter 1 "With no end in sight. Try as they might, the local huntsman and huntresses don't seem to have a grasp on the situation at Beacon..."
Yang changed the channel.
-Reporter 2 "Though the failsafe, along with the help of the new men from Atlas, as they have claimed to be, provide wireless communications throughout the kingdom. The loss of CCT tower has made outside communications difficult. Talk with Atlas officials about the situation have been..."
Yang changed the channel again.
-Reporter 3 "Vale continues to ban the air traffic of any non correlation with the evacuation of Vale. Council made it clear that they feel..."
Yang changed the channel one more time, this time changing it to something that made her look like she saw a ghost.
-Reporter 4 "Multiple rumors have been circulating about who was behind the attack at the Vytal festival tournament. Although no one is for sure, high ranking White Fang member, Adam Taurus, along with another new face of who is presumed to be a ruthless killer rumored to go by the name Felix, was in charge of the attack. Any and all attempts to bring them into custody have been met with brutal force..."
She decided to turn the television off for now, and as if on cue, Taiyang had just entered the house after returning from the market with different bags. "I'm home."
Yang looked backed as Tucker turned his head shell looked upside down at him. "Hey Dad."
He brought multiple bags and a large white box. "Guess what came in today." He stopped as he saw Tucker and Yang on the couch together. "Before I give you it... Tucker..."
Tucker looked at him confused, "Yeah?"
"Please remember rule #1, now."
Tucker realized what he was doing and backed up from Yang onto a chair. Yang was wondering what was in the box, "What came for me?"
Taiyang went to put the bags down on the kitchen table, "I can't wait for you to try this..."
Yang took a quick glance at her little arm stub before her dad came back in with the white box. He placed the box down on the coffee table in front of her, "Well?"
Yang was puzzling for a second, "It's for me?"
"For you and you only..." She opened the box to see a metallic metal arm shining from the reflected sunlight. "Brand new state of the art Atlas/UNSC technology." Yang faced looked slightly appalled at the arm, Tucker had seemed to notice as he looked to the floor in sadness. "You know I thought I was going to have to pull a few strings call in a few favors, But you earned this all on your own."
Yang was still puzzled, "Huh?"
"Before I could speak to them, General Ironwood and Agent Washington both had a team of highly skilled technicians working on this...for you. They wanted me to tell you that you fought admirably, you should be proud of yourself." For a moment there was a long silence. "Well? You gonna try it on?"
Yang just sat in the couch and looked up at her dad with her peach colored eyes, "I uh...I'm not feeling too great. Maybe later?"
Taiyang scratched the back of his head, "Well alright."
Yang began to walk back into her room before she turned to her dad and said one final, "Thanks, Dad."
When Yang got out of view Taiyang saw Tucker slouch his head in depression, normally Tucker would walk up with her but he layed off which meant one thing, "You've noticed she changed too didn't you?" Tucker nodded. This is when Taiyang mentally and physically, without saying a word, he had declared a temporary truce.
For the last couple of days they saw how her behavior changed. When she was sweeping the porch, grabbing the mail from the mailbox, and cleaning the dishes, this was the major change they've seen. She was doing it the way she normally did it, but this time she dropped a glass cup, nothing a small buy couldn't fix but when she dropped it she saw the orange and black colors flash in her face, then a sword slash.
[Time Skip]
Yang was having a dream, more like a nightmare, Yang was standing in a dark foggy room with broken pieces of lumber and debris everywhere. She looked below her first noticing both her arms were intact, but what she saw next in the dark dream horrified her. Tucker was on his knees with an orange and black kitana driven through his chest. She began to backup, seeing not only her friend die, but her boyfriend. She then glanced up to see who was responsible for the attack only to see a black armor orange armored man wielding his sword. Yang backed up from him however stopped as she heard the clicking sound of her Ember Celica, suddenly wrapped around her arms. She let out multiple shotgun rounds into the man only to find they went through him, almost as if he was invincible. She paused for another time as she did her Ember Celica were gone, but taken with it, was the arm she once had. When she glanced up she saw the orange and black attacker right in front of her face, he cocked his head to the side without saying one word, suddenly he pulled out his sword. Instantly Yang woke up from her traumatic dream, the scary thing was it felt so real to her.
Yang heard multiple voices of laughter and chatter come from her kitchen at the bottom of the stairs. She went to investigate the noise only to come to a sight she never thought that she'd see in nearly all her life. Her dad, and Tucker having a drink together, while they were talking to Professor Port and Doctor Oobleck about an old story. Port was attempting to finish his stories in between laughs, "...and so in comes Qrow ha ha, wearing a skirt. I was just a T.A. so I didn't know what to do so left the room to laugh."
Taiyang added his perspective on the story, "Yeah we told him it was a kilt. He never wore a school uniform before, so he didn't know."
Oobleck was speaking between laughs, "Oh that is terrible. What is wrong with you?"
"Hey! The girls said he had nice legs, I did that jerk a favor. But anyway that wasn't even the best part. So then we..."
Professor Port interrupted his train of thought when he lifted his leg on the table imitating what Qrow had done, "Like what you see?" The laughter grew even louder as Port was beginning to wobble from his position. When he had hit the floor he made the joyful noises bigger, he even added a new chuckle into the conversation, Yang. "Oh um, Miss Xiao Long, please join us." Port straightened himself.
By this time all the males in the room had straightened themselves out, Oobleck rose frame his chair, "Yes, yes, pull up a chair. Please, pull up a chair."
Yang walked to the counter in between Taiyang and Tucker, "I'm good. So what are you guys doing here?"
"Despite popular belief, teachers do have a life outside the classroom."
"Professor Goodwitch is working around the clock to restore Beacon to its former glory," Port added. "Along with Agent Washington and the troops, they are working at an amazing rate, but Mistral wasn't built in a day. And we can all use rest from time to time."
Taiyang interrupted the conversation to continue the previous story, "Hey let's not worry about that right now. So there we were, standing in the auditorium, looking at Qrow, wearing a skirt. Then Oz tells everyone: It's time to work on our landing strategy."
Oobleck rejoined the conversation again, "The Brawnwen twins have always been...interesting. To say the least."
Port had to continue this topic with Taiyang's perspective, "That sure didn't seem to stop young Tai."
Taiyang didn't feel as though Yang was ready for this conversation, "Hey, c'mon man she's right here."
"Oh please, she's a mature young woman, if she can handle combat, I'm sure she'd can handle a few jabs at her old man."
"That's not the issue, Pete, besides she's still a teenager."
Yang spoke up for herself curious of the conversation, "She is still in the room and can be spoken to correctly. And I think I've been through enough to be considered an adult at this point."
Taiyang took a deep breath before continuing, "Adult or not, you still got a long way before you're ready for the real world."
Yang was getting steamed from hearing the same story over and over again. "Oh my gosh. Does every father figure just have the same three condescending phrases."
Taiyang saw his little girl's attitude and and returned it with his own voice being raised, "Yeah, but we only use them when we mean it."
"Is that so?" Yang was grinding her teeth at this point making every other male in the room very uncomfortable. Port rubbed the back of his head, Oobleck drank a little from his cup, and Tucker was taking a long sip from his cup.
"As a matter of fact it is so. If you honestly think that you're ready to go out there on your own...well guess you lost some brain cells are along with that arm And your virginity."
Everyone in the room stopped and stared dead straight at Taiyang, from what he had just said to the whole room. Tucker was about to do a spit take but stopped as he debated where to spit it out, after 10 seconds of debating he swallowed his water back in. For a while it was silent until Yang punched Taiyang in the arm playfully and giggled, "You jerk." Taiyang and his daughter began laughing as Tucker remained silent.
Oobleck had to add in on the joke making Tucker laugh a little bit, "Are we finally talking about the Goliath in the room?"
After a good laugh, Port had a question the rest of the males in the room needed answering, "Miss Xiao Lo- Yang if you don't mind me asking, why haven't you tried on the arm?"
"Oh yes, yes. A piece of Atlas technology mixed with other worldly technology being given out like that is rare indeed, not to mention the effort it took to deliver it here. It seems a great many people want to see you return to normal."
The answer Yang's said came out slow, and given the saddened expression on her face, she must be genuine. "I'm...scared. Everyone keeps talking about me getting back to normal, and I appreciate it. But...this," she said gesturing to her armless stub, "is normal now. It's just...taking me a while to get used to it."
"Well." Taiyang had to make one more final effort for his little girl's recovery, "Normal is what you make of it."
Tucker had to add in on Taiyang's argument, "He's right. And me agreeing with him is saying something. I mean, look at my old team, we were just as bunch of idiots in a boxed canyon. Now look at us."
Yang was confused at their view of the situation, "What is that supposed to mean? Do you want me to just pretend like nothing happened? I lost a part of me. A piece of me is gone and it's never coming back."
Taiyang looked at the ground in near defeat, "You're right, it's not coming back." But a light bulb lit up in his conscience, "But that doesn't have to stop you from becoming who you want to be. You're Yang Xiao Long, my sunny little dragon. You can do whatever you put your mind to. So whenever you're ready to stop moping, and get back out there. I'll be there for you."
Before Yang could speak again, Port had a shot at helping her out, "Fear is like any other emotion, it comes and goes. It's all about how you handle it. Why, even I find myself wrestling with that emotion from time to time."
Yang tried to act surprised for her professor's amusement "Really? You?"
Oobleck whispered something to the two of them, "He's afraid of mice."
Port overheard this as he shouted, "They bring only disease and famine!" Tucker and Yang giggled with each other. "And don't even get me started on their tales, so hairless, simply unnatural."
Oobleck reassured his friend with calming words. "Port, I assure you, you're safe. There are no mice here right now."
Tucker looked up at Yang and saw her laugh just as hard as Tucker, if not more, and he thought [God, she's so beautiful when she laughs.]
{Later outside of Taiyang's house}
"Thanks for having us over Tai," Port said.
"Anytime. You guys are always welcome." Taiyang replied.
"It may be quite a while before we return. There is still much work to be done at the school." Oobleck stated.
Just before they were about to leave Port caught himself, "I hesitate to ask but, have you received any word from young Miss Rose."
Taiyang shook his head, "Not yet."
Oobleck added another question to that, "Have you ever thought about going after her? Trying to bring her home?"
Taiyang took a deep breath before answering, "I got to...look after other things."
Port then turned to Tucker, "Ah yes, Mr. Tucker, your dear friend Washington wanted us to inform you that you are requested by him for your military duties."
Tucker thought for 2 seconds before answering, "Tell him that, I'm...occupied at the moment." He turned his head to Yang's window.
[The Next Morning]
Taiyang had been watering his flowers in his front yard, while Tucker was still attempting to reactivate his semblance the one way he was shown how to master his sword, an ancient Covenant meditation technique. When out of the front door of the house came Yang, wearing the robotic arm. Tucker had given a small smile when he saw this but grabbed a small rubber ball he was using for practice before her and Taiyang began their training together. He had his goal to focus on, getting his semblance to work.
He looked for a quiet spot for him to practice, he saw a spot with two large rocks, one was a flat rock making the perfect sitting spot, while the other was behind it was stuck in the ground standing ten feet tall. He planted the ball on the floor in front of him then sat down, crossed legged on his newly claimed Tucker's rock.
He stared down straight at the ball, focusing on all his ability to do the simplest thing, move the ball. He had his eyes glued to the ball after 1 hour without blinking, he tried even harder but only received the same result, the ball stood still. He then got up and started talking to himself, "C'mon Tucker, this is easy man. Just clear your mind of all the things you thought of before," He took a second then realized something when cleaning out his mind, "I watched a lot of porn back then." He mentally slapped it out of him, "No, no. Focus Tucker, do this, do it for Yang." He concentrated by closing his eyes, after 12 seconds nothing could be heard.
Until Yang came out from behind a tree, "Hey, Tuck-" she had stopped mid sentence to see the spectacle in front of her.
Tucker had turned his head thinking nothing about what he was doing, "Yeah?"
Yang had began jumping up and down at a fast rate, "Do you know what you're doing right now?"
Tucker shook his head as he continued to stare at her in confusion then glanced forward to see that the ball was being lifted and surrounded by a aquamarine aura, "Holy shit. I...I...I did it!"
Yang then an even bigger smile when she thought how surprised he'd be if he turned around, "You haven't looked below or behind you have you?"
"Why, what's behind me-" He stopped as he saw what she was talking about. He looked behind him to see the 10 foot tall boulder being lifted by the same aura, as he glanced down he saw the rock he was on to be floating above the ground. He let out a scream of joy, "Hell to the Yeah, I finally got my semblance to waAhhh" He said as he lost concentration and fell to the ground. "Bow Chika Ow ow."
Yang giggled as she helped Tucker to his feet, "How'd you do that?"
Tucker scratched the back of his head, "I don't really know, all I did was say do this for you and it was being lifted."
Yang got a little smirk as she grabbed Tucker by the hand and dragged him to the house, "Follow me."
[In Yang's room.]
Tucker was facing Yang as she had idea to help him with his semblance, but unfortunately she left Tucker in the dark. He was confused why he was doing the semblance training here, "Yang, what are we doing here?"
She had a devious smile on her face, "This is to help with your semblance, now close your eyes."
"What?"
"Close them!"
Tucker sighed then did as he was told, "Alright there closed but this better not be a trick or I'll be really ups-"
She shut him up as she smashed her lips against his, taken by surprise he finally shut up and after overcoming the surprise he closed his eyes. Yang pulled away as she smiled and looked around her room, while Tucker, who was still drunk off Yang's kiss slowly opened his eyes and stared straight at her. He began stuttering before looking around, "I uh, I um, I uhhh, that was..."
Yang put her finger to his lips to shut him up again and motioned with her finger to look around, Tucker was taken by surprise when he saw everything in her room was being lifted by the aquamarine aura.
She was the key to his semblance.
[A few days later]
Yang was spray painting her arm and her Ember Celica, she stopped to admire her work, but when she did she saw Tucker had a outfit and a new hairdo. Instead of his armor he had on a aquamarine or sea blue or whatever color he is, draped in a sort of Jedi looking robe with his black skin suit underneath, and his hairstyle changed from an afro to a braided warrior's wolf tail, basically a braided ponytail. He glanced at himself thinking he looked amazing, but he needed to make sure, "So, how do I look?"
Yang rolled her eyes before answering, "Like a huntsman. Or an idiot." She answered playfully.
They went over to the shed where they stored her motorcycle, Bumblebee, she took off the cover to see it was in good position.
Just then they heard a familiar voice, "I don't remember saying that you were ready." Taiyang announced himself in the shed.
Yang, not taking her head away from the bike responded, "Oh really? You gonna try and stop me?"
Taiyang laughed a little, "No, I think I'm still too sore from our last fight. I just wanted a better goodbye than a letter. Also, to tell Tucker something. And I also have a question for you." Yang then faced him to give him an answer, "Where are you going?"
Yang wanted a little more clarity, "What do you mean?"
Taiyang got up from his leaning position, "Well, despite asking him numerous times not to, I know Qrow told you where your mother's been at these days. I know how much you want to see her. I've stopped you in the past, but I won't anymore. And we all read the note. We know Ruby is headed for Mistral. So, where are you going?"
Yang looked back at Bumblebee looking for an answer.
Taiyang then leaned forward to Tucker and said a little reminder for him, "Tucker, I may have no control over who my daughter dates but, let me just say, if you get her pregnant, I will get and make it look like an accident."
Tucker let out a few nervous laughs as he was sweating finishing the answer, "Yes sir."
[Later at a crossroad]
A bike, with the color of yellow and black, and two passengers on it, one in aquamarine or sea blue, and the driver in yellow. They came at a sign with the top half reading, (Mistral), and the bottom half of it crossed out reading, (Bandits). The yellow one looked at the sign before huffing and made her choice saying, "You are in so much trouble when I find you." And drove straight to Mistral.
The End
