(Chapter 2: Grief, answers and more questions)
(North of recently attacked village 1pm)
Ruby had been walking for hours, but she didn't feel tired, she guessed it was because of Strength, so she didn't say anything and just kept walking.
"Hay kid, how you doing" Strength said "I'm OK... Sooo what are you? like really how and what was that back there?" Ruby asked "well it's a long story, you might find it boring" Strength said "I'm bored now, Pleeease, with Cookies on top" Ruby asked "Oh allright, fine I'll tell" "YAY" Strength told Ruby how she ended up here after a really cool looking fight, and about the God that asked for her help and then he sent her here.
"And the rest is history, how'd you get in that situation anyway?" Strength asked "well, I got separated from my family when the Grimm attacked" "what about your family, they're probably worried sick right now" "I think they might be dead" "why's that?" "My Mom died on a mission a while ago" "... Sorry, didn't mean to bring up bad memory's" Strength said.
"It's ok, hey what are the Giant metal hands called" Ruby asked "hmm, oh uh their called "Ogre Arm" their a Mechanical weapon why, you wanna test them out?" If Ruby could see Strengths face she'd see the grin on her face.
"Yeah" Ruby was really excited.
(Kingdom of Mistral 2pm)
Yang had just woken up hours after the news of sister she was still upset about it and made a vow to kill as many Grimm on this planet as she could but first she was hungry, so she went to get something to eat.
Her farther and uncle were talking, and she got curious about what they were talking about.
"Tai we have to tell Ozpin what happened here" Qrow said, he really needed a drink right now.
"You can I'm going to take care of yang, make sure she can handle whatever comes her way, I have to" Tai was not fairing to good, he only had yang left and it was going to be a quiet next few years, but he'll manage in the end.
Yang went to go get her food now not wanting to hear anymore, if she had she would of discovered a secret to all of Remnent.
"Salem might be behind this tai it's all I can think of"
(3 days later, mistral forest)
Ruby was getting really good at using Strength's powers as her own, apparently the longer her and Strength were connected the easier it will be for Ruby to use the power she now has.
"You my little friend, are a prodigy, like seriously you learn fast, and how do you know how to survive in the woods so easily?" "Thanks, I did read a lot of books, sooo yeah hehe" it was easy for Ruby to find eatable fruits and berries and boil water with the flamethrower gauntlets, she was pretty much, to the Grimm at least, death in a child's body, quite the Grimm killing machine she was.
pluse the Grimm seem to be afraid of her, some would attempt to attack, and other's would run for their lives, sooo yeah she didn't have much to do but train.
"At this rate you are going to be unstoppable,... Your not gonna go evil, are you?" Strength said, worried "Nooo, why?" "just checking" Ruby was confused by all means of the word, eh nothing to worry about, back to trainin, Ruby performed a few punches, tail stabs and claw strikes, then she moved on to flamethrower and "Orge Arm" gun mode attacks on trees, rocks and whatever Grimm that was Dumb Enough to attack her.
It was quite the experience to kill Grimm and be feared by them, ruby wasn't sure if she should be sad or happy about that? Whatever not her problem she went back to training for the day. she ate the food she gathered, then she went to bed.
Which is basically her climbing up into a tree and using the "Orge Arm" to keep her in it, yeah pretty simple right?
"So Strength, can you tell something?" "like what" "do you miss yuu, the girl you were once the "other self" too, do you miss her?"
"... Yeah, I do but it's not like that I can go back is it?, plus I'm with you now, and thats fine, we can help each other eh?" Strength said, Ruby was glad for that but she did feel sorry for what happened to her, "... Yeah, we can help each other" and so Ruby slept in a tree, under the watchful care of Strength, the Grimm didn't come near them, for good reason of course hehe.
( 2 days later Beacon Academy noon)
Ozpin was not having a good day, not at all, Qrow had just told him, as well as the other Headmaster's and Headmistress of the other Academy's that the possibly last Silver eyed Warrior was presumed dead, after an attack on a Village in Mistral and he thinks that Salem was behind it.
James Ironwood General and Headmaster of Atlas was shocked by this and desided to offer that if Yang wants to become a Huntress he could help if they want, he said it was so that she could be one of the Best Huntress out there and help push Salem's advance on the 4 Kingdoms back.
Qrow said it was fine and that all he needed was dink, he left after that.
Ozpin was in need of a plan now, as trying to find a way to unlock Ruby's Silver eyed powers had just jumped out out the window, so to speak, Salem had just gained a HUGE Advantage in this Gods forsaken secret war they were having, and she just killed a child.
He sighed as he told the other Headmaster's and Headmistress that they had to see if they can't find another if Silver eyed Warrior was out there, they agreed and began their search.
All unaware of the the new Warrior out there.
"This is going to be a long next few years" if only Ozpin knew how right he was, and soon him and Salem will be fighting over who can gain this new being out there, and soon they will shake the very world itself, all for the betterment of Remnant.
(Patch Xio long/Rose household 1pm)
Yang was in Ruby's room, sitting on the bed she was wearing Ruby's cloak with the Rose pin keeping it in place, it was torn and tattered but she didn't care, these were the last things Ruby had of Summer her mother, yangs stepmother.
Yang still remembers how she almost got her and her little sister killed searching for her real mother, had there uncle not been there they'd be dead, it was why they went to Mistral, to have some fun in another Kingdom so yang would stop feeling guilty for almost getting her sister killed.
But now Ruby was gone, all because she went looking for someone who didn't care about her, had she not done that, they wouldn't of gone to Mistral and Ruby would be fine, not dead now she has no point to look for a woman that knows nothing about her and doesn't care about her, so why should she give her the satisfaction of yang looking for her?
None thats what 'I want nothing to do with you Raven Branwon, you are not my mother Summer Rose is and that's final, you hear me? I hate you' yang thought.
(Raven Branwen sneezed as if someone was talking about her right now, she was confused but that can wait, she had bandits to Command)
Yang made a promise to be the best Huntress she could be and save as many as possible from the Grimm, it was to honor her sister, it's all she can do.
And so her training begins.
(5 years later Mistral 9pm)
Ruby gotten real good at her new found ability's, 2 years after she was saved by Strength they ancounter another Village under attack by Grimm, with her ability's she rushed to save as many people as she can, she began to slaughter the Grimm, some of the Grimm called for help so they could kill this demon, and that was what Ruby wanted as more and more Grimm came it at her, ground, air it didn't matter, so long as the Grimm where coming to her and not the people who are running for safety, besides Ruby had a healing factor like no other, so she only needed her Aura to keep her Semblance powered and the speed to make her super fast, and with all the training she's been doing she can basically fly with it.
The Grimm kept on coming at her and she kept on giving them what they deserved, her "Orge arm" where firing endless Bullets she had enough skill now to do it early so the Grimm where dieing left, right and center, she shot a Nevermore out of the sky, crushed a Baowolf in a downward strike, stabbed a Creep with her tails, clawed an Ursa major with her claws, and BBQ a Deathstalker, she just wouldn't stop and theycjust kept coming.
She was going make them pay for what they did to these people, she was not going to run, she was going to Fight, she will Stand, Her, Ground, against the Darkness she will fight for the weak and helpless, all those who have been hurt, By these Red eyed Freaks, she will make them Fear humans and faunus, with Strengths help she had killed hundreds of them.
And people had heard the fighting, Pained roars, Rage filled sounds of Grimm dieing, the Grimm where ignoring them now in favor to help their brethren, even the Nuckelavee that was attacking the Village was making it's way there because of all the rage the Grimm can feel, the hatred for them was just to much to pass up.
2 kids hiding under a house watch the Grimm go by, they like many others in the Village could hear the gun fire, someone was out there protecting them, since the Village was close enough to the Kingdom, the smoke from the fire and Grimm was so thick they could see it from Haven Academy people where shock to see it and the council sent out all available hunters and the military to evacuate the Villagers and find out what's going on?
When the evac team arrived they saw a Village in ruins and ablaze, but they also saw a lot of survivors, a lot more then there should be in this event, but that can wait they land and secured the area when they ask what happened the Villagers told them that they were under attack by Grimm and that they thought that they where going to die.
... But then they heard gun fire and explosions, and the Grimm began to ignore them, some even said that they caught a glimpse of someone fighting the Grimm in the distance they didn't get a good look but everyone could hear the Grimm as they died.
The evac team was stunned by this, a single person took out a horde of Grimm by their own, it was unbelievable but the evidence was all around them, they asked to meet this person but Villagers say they can't, they asked why and the Villagers said that the person had disappeared after the Grimm where killed and no one knows where they went.
Knowing that it was a lost cause to look the evac team took everyone back to the Kingdom and told the council what they found out, the council was shocked to say the least the description that the Villagers gave was something they could work with to try and the person, the other Kingdoms tried to help aswell but none of them could find this person.
... That was 3 years ago and Ruby has made quite the reputation as "strength the guardian of the people" she was still a mystery to people, which was fine for her, some people wonder why she doesn't asked for something in return, while many others say that "Strength doesn't want anything in return" which was quite right she was fine how she was, so why ask for something when you don't need it? She could catch or forage for her own food in the woods, or some of Villages and towns would leave a large basket of food for her, as everyone knows she won't want to be seen, she always returns the basket before she moves on.
Ruby or really Strength is known in Mistral, Atlas, Vale and now Vacuo, all outside of the Kingdoms, she never seems to have to clean her clothes or armor as it seems to cleaned itself, she has no idea how that happens, not even Strength knows, but Ruby doesn't complain, she washes herself off in rivers and lakes, its cold but her body seems to adapt to the change in temperature easily, whether it is weather or a bath her body adapts.
Now that she's in Vacuo she could take out some of the Bandit camps or White Fang Outposts and Bases here, she has done lots of that over the 5 years she's been on the move, she still remembers that encounter with that insane scorpion faunus a while back,... It, was, Creepy, to say the least.
(Flashback Vale wilderness 2 years ago)
Ruby was walking through the woods just enjoying the weather of the day, it was a sunny day not a cloud in the sky, the sun was shining and the warmth it gave was Heavenly, so she was having a great day.
She didn't go near Patch, she was scared of finding her old home, see the place where her family used to live, but maybe one day? Maybe one day.
... "We're being followed Ruby, be on guard" Strength said, she was an amazing early warning system 'wonder who it could be, hunter maybe?' Ruby thought, many people wanted to know who she is and many wanted her for their own gain, she hated those people a lot so she never went to the Kingdoms themselves.
Ruby's eye color changed to glowing orange with a white purple and 2 white rings in each eye as she turned around to face the new comer.
"Come out, I know your there" Ruby shouted, a minute passed before someone stepped out of the bushes, it was a man in a mostly white outfit, he had brown leather boots that went up to his nees that had metal nee pads, white pants that tucked into the boots, an open sleeveless shirt with a leather trench coat, on his upper arms he had wraps, on his forearms he had leather guards, over the guards are what looks like weapons, on the mans chest and torso he had scars, 1 on the torso, 2 on the chest, the mans brown hair was in a braid that made it look like a Scorpion tail he had a creepy grin on her face and his yellow eyes made her heart race.
"Oh, why Hallo there little girl, why are you out here, all alone" the man said, (I just realized how CREEPY and WRONG that sounds GOD AAAAAAA-)
Ruby and Strength have a Bad feeling about this, "Ruby stay on guard, I don't like how relaxed this guy is" Strength said worriedly, she really didn't like this guy, not, one, bit. 'He's really Creepy, why is he here?' Ruby thought, this guy was to happy about this, but why was he here?
"Who are you, why are you here, what do you want from me?" Ruby asked "Oh why where are my manners, my name is Tyrian Callows and the Queen wishes to speak to you, if you don't mind" tyrian said, "I don't like how he said Queen, say no Ruby I don't like this" Strength said she had a really bad feeling about this.
"No, I'm have more important things to do then speak to this Queen you speak of" Ruby said then she turned around and began to wal-
The sound of metal Blades hitting a larger metal surface was heard, Ruby had just blocked Tytian's attack and retaliated with a strike of her own. Only for the man to dodge and shoot bullets at her, they aren't as stong as hers, and hers blow stuff up, she also has infinite ammo, so she has the advantage.
"... Meanie" Ruby/Strength said as Tyrian tried to find an opening but couldn't, he tried his random attack style, it helped him but still couldn't get a good hit on her. That is till Grimm came out of the bushes and attacked Ruby, she took care of them quickly, looking for Tyrian Ruby tried to find where had gon-.
Ruby jumped back from the scorpion tail that came at her, it gave her a small cut on her left arm, Tyrian had a smug grin on is face as his tail swayed slightly 'He must think he's won, well too bad jerk, you may be a fuanus but I am really hard to poison, HA' Ruby thought, she was holding her arm at the moment as it healed.
Two Grimm walked up behind walked up behind Tyrian as he looked at Ruby "Such a waste, the Queen really could of use you in her cycle, alwell you'll be Grimm food soon" Ruby took notice of how his eyes turned purple 'that must be how he poisons people, Grrrr I'm a Break his face in' "wow Rubes, he really got on your bad side fast,... Well let's rip that tail of his off shall we?" Ruby charges Tyrian as he and the Grimm charges her.
(Flashback End)
Yea let's just say Strength was true to her word... They ripped Tyrians tail off, and the man did cursed at her like crazy, Ruby of course was to busy killing Grimm to hear it, Tyrian ran away with his tail between his legs (or lack of therefore) to wherever his boss is, its not Rubys problem anymore anyway, she was in Vacuo to kick some butt.
Which is why she is in the abandoned industrial district of the Kingdom she had to find a place to setup base for awile, aswell as get something to eat from the Desert, so yes Ruby has a long day ahead of her woohoo.
(Patch Xio Long/Rose house 10am)
Yang was not happy, not, one, bit, some kids at Signal thought it was funny that Yangs baby sister was killed by the Grimm 5 years ago today, well let's just say Yang may or may not have broken a few arms (and by a few, i mean alot of arms, and legs too) Yang was sent home after a one Carden Winchester had his nose broken, he was the one who said that Ruby was weak.
He's not saying that any more that's for sure, Yang hates people like him, all they think about is themselves and that's it, she hates that, and is the reason why she is now grounded for 3 day's, her dad was easy on her because of why she did it, she was just laying on her bed bored with nothing to do.
"Well you look bored" someone said, Yang at the door to her room to see a woman standing there "who are you?" Yang said, the woman looks familiar but why?.
"I'm your mother Yang" aaand just like that Yang was ignoring Raven "Come on Yang don't be like that" "your not my mother" Yang said, she may be a 12 year old but hey she's an angry one, so yeah sorry (oh I'm definitely not sorry that's for sure) Raven she hates you.
"What do you mean by that Yang" "you left me as a Baby and now you think you can just come back into my life and pretend that never happened?, No my mom is Summer Rose and i have not just lost her but my sister aswell now go away" and Yang never listened to Ravens words again.
(Vacuo 1pm)
Ruby took out another gangsta with ease, and she's a 10 year old, talk about bad ass huh?, well let's see why Ruby is here, she was looking for an easy way to take down all the gangs so the people can have a break, well ain't that fun right?.
"Aaaannd, that's the last one, good job Ruby" Strength said, Ruby was getting better every day and showed no signs of slowing down, Ruby took out another gangsta with a headbutt and looks over her work "well that's easy huh?" "Oh shut it you, and stop showing off it's not like someone was watching you" Strength said "oh, my, GODS, cant believe it, it's really you Strength" a dark skined girl was at the over end of the wherehouse, she had Red eyes and Mint green hair she also had rags for clothes and was looking at Ruby with awe "uh hi?" "... Really?" "I am your biggest fan, my name's Emerald by the way" Emerald said "... I have fans?" "We, have fans Ruby" 'Shut it Strength'
(YAY DONE WITH CHAPTER 2 WOOHOO)
