The sky was gray, cloudy, the sun was hiding somewhere above the dense clouds that threatened to pour in. A strange object under the effect of gravity starts to fall, a blonde girl under 20 years old falls like a meteor straight to the ground.
Heavy eyelids slowly opened, heralding a consciousness starting to awaken, body drenched by clouds, 'Huh', she breathed for those brief moments, her mind trying to register the new information, "Wait a minute… AM I FALLING?!".
The girl starts to sway in the cold air until she turns to see the city, a peculiar place with architecture the blonde didn't recognize and with borders stretching to the horizon, the city was HUGE and it was approaching fast, much faster than Yang could register or act on.
She landed face down on top of a small three-story building, breaking the roof and falling inside the building, her aura shielding her from the damage of her fall, "WHAT THE HELL!? My hair! Someone will pay for this!" the blonde roared, her eyes blood red and her proud hair wet, burnt and very tangled.
The interior of the building was empty. Yang jumped out of the hole his fall had made and stood on top of the small building, analytical eyes roaming the weird city eerily empty for his liking "What… happened?" Her face creased in thought, now finally stopping to reflect, trying to recall her last memories to find an answer to how she had arrived in that strange place... And her eyes widened.
The General's Madness, the evacuation of civilians, the attack by Cinder and her allies, and finally her descent into the black void, "FUCK SHIT!" she curses to the heavens, not knowing whether to be grateful to be alive or to regret... Leaving her friends behind with that psycho Cinder, were they okay? Yang wanted to punch someone in the face, she had a headache from thinking so much.
'Grrr, ok, one thing at a time Yang', the blonde calmed down taking a deep breath, 'I don't need to jump to conclusions so soon, first I have to find out where the hell I am', the blonde looked at the absolute void, with no sign of a only living soul, 'Maybe this is easier than it looks...'.
Yang returned to observing her surroundings more closely than before and finally realized the existence of another person in that ghost town, he was too far away for Yang to see clearly, but there were general characteristics that she could identify such as being in black clothes, thin, hair faded blonde and having a big bag that was pretty much the same size as him.
The blonde was about to jump towards the suspicious man when a black cloud passed by knocking her cap to the ground, the hunter's spine shivered, screaming danger, as if a dark thing was about to happen, the wait before the battle, 'That is a Grimm?!'.
She might not even know where she was, but she was a hunter and her job was to keep the people safe from Grimms, she jumped, going full speed towards the man, but the black cloud had returned and was now attacking that squirming civilian and he swung his crowbar desperately trying to get that cloud out of his body.
Yang arrived late, the man had been completely dried, a mummy will fall to the ground the moment the blonde had arrived, she had her eyes wide, the girl had never seen a Grimm do that before, the mysterious black cloud had departed in the direction opposite of her, as if they were attracted to something.
"Damn it! I'm too late" She was focused on the receding cloud, she readied her Ember Celic ready to shoot the fugitive Grimm, but... Her instincts alerted her again and with incredible speed, the blonde had done a reverse somersault, dodging the way of another black cloud, 'Never heard of Grimms like this before... Better not let your guard down'.
She hit the air and shots hit the cloud, an explosion dispersed most of the cloud, 'This thing doesn't look very sturdy, better for me', what was left of that Grimm split in two and I flew towards it in patterns that made it difficult the aim. Yang finally realized that those Grimm was not a cloud, but rather the swarm of hundreds of individuals flying in sync.
'Is that Grimms mosquitoes?! For Oum's sake, Salem has no limits when creating these freaks doesn't he?!', "Salem you bitch", Yang hated mosquitoes, bloodsucking bloodsuckers, always leaving marks on her perfect body, especially before she developed her aura that blessedly protected her from being bitten, she hated mosquitoes almost as much as the bitch Cinder, by Yang those bugs could go to hell and she would party, so much so that the best thing about when she arrived in Atlas was the complete absence of those bugs.
"HE IS GOING TO SCREW IT UP!" she roared shooting, hitting and blasting the rest of the swarm. When she realized that she had annihilated those freaks completely she smiled contentedly, forgetting the mummified corpse that was just a few feet away from her.
A buzz sounded in Yang's ear, then a moment later something landed just above her breasts. The girl looked and saw a black thing futilely trying to suck her blood and failing because of her aura. The hunter slowly raised her robotic hand and hit the spot where that creature was, but as soon as she took her hand away to check that the mosquito was dead, that little black dot flew out of her reach with an annoying buzz.
She stopped and saw that the mosquito was flying in the same direction that the swarm that had dried up that man went, it didn't take long for her to notice other black swarms following that direction, the blonde took a deep breath and looked at the ground, but specifically where she had been. When the mosquitoes exploded, there were little black dots on the floor, all scorched, but far from turning into the mist of when Grimms are killed.
'That's...' Those mosquitoes weren't a freak from Salem, Grimms, those were normal mosquitoes... Well, maybe not so normal, but the point was still raised. A dark chill snaked through Yang's stomach, she knew she wasn't in Atlas anymore, even though the place is covered in snow the all time, she didn't recognize the city she was in and supposedly normal mosquitoes had dried a human in seconds.
She knew there was a lot wrong, bells were ringing in her head, now the question was to follow the direction of the swarm and risk finding something that she had no idea if she could handle it or move away from the place and try to find someone who I could tell her what was going on.
Yang sighed, she was never the wisest of her team.
The blonde said some quick prayers for the poor soul that had been sucked to death, in which Yang had just noticed that he looked like an opportunistic thief, thief or not, he probably didn't deserve to die like this.
Then she turned around to follow the seemingly endless stream of mosquitoes, 'Seriously, where did so many mosquitoes come from?' Yang had no idea that such a thing could happen to what should be ordinary animals, she might not even be an expert, but this amount of mosquitoes was certainly unnatural and considering their flight patterns, there was something controlling them.
She arrived at the eye of the hurricane so to speak, a black ball with a core glowing red floated in the air with legions of endless mosquitoes arriving to increase the size of the ball, if those things were Grimms then she would be in serious danger of dying, but as long as they're just normal insects, your aura should be enough to keep you protected.
Yang prepared to shoot, but two events stopped her long enough for the swarm to disperse: 1-Out of the corner of her eye, the blonde noticed the approach of another individual, apparently intending to attack the swarm, and 2-From the center from that swarm a female figure emerged, half human and half mosquito, more animalistic than a normal Faun should be.
This had gotten more complicated, but it was something Yang should expect, if a bunch of mosquitoes attacked people, the police or poachers would act to contain the threat and the mosquitoes were obviously being controlled by something, Yang just didn't expect it to be. an incredibly sexy woman, but anyway Cinder was hot, but the blonde would kill her without a second thought, just because you're beautiful doesn't mean your actions should go unpunished.
"Get out of here immediately, this swarm is highly dangerous and acts in an organized manner" A young voice said directly, somehow the new individual's way of speaking was faintly familiar. Yang would normally make fun of someone for saying something so obvious, but his instincts screamed danger, "Look what we have here… More food! Suck them up", the swarm attacked as per the orders of the… mutant Faun?
Those bugs might not even be able to get through her skin with bites, but the way the swarm was advancing like a massive wave, the blow of them all together could damage her aura and if she lost her aura her protection against those bugs would go away and it was going to be turned into a mummy in the blink of an eye like that unlucky thief from before.
The young woman promptly dodged the swarm and shot her powder, blowing up some more parts of the crowd, she watched the boy out of the corner of her eye, 'Based on that guy's trust against this... Faun, Mutation or whatever, he seems to be able to survive it...'. And apparently running away from the blow wasn't really necessary, as as soon as the mosquitoes got to the boy who looked to be the same age as her, they started circling him.
'Good luck,' she can't help but think.
"Incinerate", suddenly a fireball appeared engulfing the crowd of mosquitoes to the point that even Yang had to jump away to avoid being caught in the attack, at least the mosquitoes that were on his tail were burned.
There were several thoughts in the blonde's head such as, 'Since when is firedust capable of that?', 'Does this kid have a prosthesis like me?' and 'Why the fuck did he shoot when I was in the fireball area? ', she chose the last thought to air, "Hey! You airhead! You almost hit me!"
"How are you controlling the mosquitoes, if I eliminate you, will they disperse?" the boy asked, Yang had been completely ignored and that... Person? Her mouth was open, clearly expecting another result from her attack, "I'll eliminate you, don't move" he said flatly as if it was logical for her to stand still and let herself be destroyed.
Yang didn't know whether to punch him for leaving her completely aside or punch him for the idiocy of that request/order.
The exasperation of that being passed and turned into fun with even a giggle and a cliché line like Do you really think you can eliminate me? So try your luck! Yang sighed, she would get information later, now she had a threat to deal with, the blonde took advantage of that guy running along the walls of the building towards that thing and taking advantage of that woman's distraction she aimed at the left arm of that one and fired, Yang hoped that by the least damage the creature's aura a little, but even though it didn't have the effect she'd hoped for, the attack pushed her closer to the guy and distracted her long enough for him to smack the woman full across the cheek.
Yang was a little offended that the boy's punch had done more to the thing than his shots, but at least his attack had been worth something, even though the woman quickly recovered from the attack and made a quick exchange of blows against the young man in the middle air and as soon as he backed away a bit, the blonde used half of the powder that was left in her gun and started shooting at the girl, hoping for a better effect than the last attack, but again, it seemed useless as the woman started flying towards you at full speed screaming "Irritating girl, if you want to die so badly so be it!"
The Boy took advantage of the woman's focus on Yang and jumped from the side of the building towards the Insect Woman, grabbing her back and applying a rear naked choke, trying to choke the girl's throat. Yang grinned, and in one swift motion jumped up and punched the woman in the face with his robotic arm and then kicked her in the face doing a backward somersault, the momentum pushing both the boy and the insect woman into the wall of a nearby building.
"You damn idiots! You will die!", and apparently Yang's attacks had not taken effect again, besides irritating the woman even more, this girl was like the Atlesian colossus compressed into a human form and very agile, "Get out of here immediately, you just is getting in the way of combat," the boy said with obvious arrogance.
Yang narrowed her eyes very annoyed, but seeing how her attacks had no effect, she decided to step back a bit and stay on the sidelines of the confrontation, she knew she would help more by attacking the swarm of mosquitoes and checking to see if there were any civilians nearby to save than damage the mosquito woman, that wouldn't stop the blonde from glaring at them both before walking away.
"Imbecile," she said not caring that he could hear and jumped to high ground away from the confrontation to see if the area was clear and blow up some small swarms that were nearby.
She then waited, watching the fight out of the corner of her eye, seeing a lot of heat shots, limbs ripped off and prosthetics destroyed, the boy was apparently winning, which only made Yang even angrier as he apparently didn't need her help to win. But she swallowed her anger, after all she was a professional hunter now and she couldn't act like a teenager anymore, even if she was...
Ruby is fine, her eccentric sister is fast, very skillful and a capable leader, of course she is fine... Except for the fact that that murderous thief had nearly killed both her and her sister before. Well, Ruby wasn't alone, she had her partner to protect her back, Weiss would certainly be able to keep her little sister safe, except for the fact that when the attack happened there were too many civilians missing through the portals, too many innocent people for his enemies to take advantage of. Even so Blake, her girlfriend, would be able to protect his team in his absence, she has a lot of experience after all, more than Yang herself. General Ironwood had completely freaked out, forcing them to do the evacuation in the first place, he had control over the military and what if Cinder had leaked their plan to him?
Well the JNR team was there too, they were her sister team, equally capable, they would certainly be able to keep things in order and protect each other, Cinder was a treacherous and manipulative enemy, very skilled at manipulating others, that's all see what she did to the Atlesian military during the fall of Beacon.
But the Happy Huntresses, Penny and Esmerald were there too, Yang knows what they are all capable of handling this, Esmerald has been with Cinder, she rigged the tournament for Yang to be falsely accused, she might betray them. It doesn't matter, Penny is a very capable Maiden, the redhead could certainly protect her friends from that bitch, but Cinder is also a Maiden, having already killed the previous maiden fall.
Yang shook her head, venomous thoughts didn't stop corroding her mind, the blonde had to believe that her friends were still safe, even with her incapacitation and... Possible Death, 'Stop it! I didn't die! No one died! I'm going to find out where the hell I am and then I'm going to find a way to get back on my team!'
Another fireball exploded on the blonde's back, it was possible to feel the heat of the attack from where she was, "Hasn't this guy defeated that woman yet?" she muttered contemplatively, turning from looking for civilians to see how this strange boy was doing.
Her eyes widened, her mouth was wide open, Yang had never seen so many mosquitoes like this, she doubted that if she gathered all the mosquitoes in the world, she could form such a gigantic mass, "Why Oum, how did I let so many of them pass?!", she soon realized that they were coming from the mountains, her focus all the time was the city, "Son of... How could I not have noticed this before!?", her thoughts wavered, she was distracted by her concern for her team and didn't focus actually.
Did she really deserve to be a professional hunter? 'And I'm letting my mind slip again', Yang refocused and turned his attention to the boy with the prosthetic arms, 'At least I have one of my arms...', he was getting ready to attack again, his features were minimal, just focusing on attacking.
He suddenly stopped preparing for the attack and turned around and that's when Yang noticed, there was a bald man in a yellow shirt with a can of insecticide in his hand chasing a mosquito, clearly not noticing that live black mass that floated not far away, "What the fuck?", and another ball out, Yang let a civilian in and of course, it had to be one of those with no sense of danger.
She sighed, from where she was, the blonde couldn't hear the conversation, but the boy was clearly irritated by the intrusion.
The huntress jumped from the roof to the street and was running at full speed to the place of confrontation, she arrived just in time to see the black cloud of incomparable size descending on the two, she was late again, she tried to shoot to disperse the swarm, but realized she was out of powder reserves, she had spent it all on the small groups that were in town.
It didn't take long for her to be swallowed up by the impossible sized swarm too, her aura protected her from the bites, she punched and punched, crushing those insects as efficiently as possible, but for every mosquito she killed a thousand more came in her place, she couldn't open her mouth because she could swallow some of them, she could feel that mass of insects getting stuck in her hair, that could only be hell, at least her life wasn't in danger...
Yang's instincts screamed in alert again, she broke out in a cold sweat, her heart raced and her legs started moving without her thinking, trying to get as far away from that place as possible.
The blonde saw an orange glow in the interior of the black sea, and she remembered that moment when that Grimm whale exploded and like a premonition the glow began to increase, to the point of giving headaches to the girl who closed her eyes and stuck his hand in front, the heat began to rise furiously, Yang knew, if she hadn't died earlier during Atlas' fall, she would die now.
What was the point of her having survived that? The fire explosion happened, the sound of fire burning the mosquitoes reverberated the city caught fire and Yang was at its epicenter.
The strange thing was that she never felt the fire burn her skin or tear her aura, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that bald man from before was in front of her completely untouched except for the smoke rising from his back, Yang also realized that they didn't they were closer to where the explosion started, but rather several blocks away. "Hello, are you okay girl?" The civilian asked apathetically, to her who was still in shock "W-What happened?", Yang was confused, "We both almost got our clothes burned, well... You almost got your clothes burned, I couldn't get out unscathed", he said so casually that she questioned her own sanity.
And then she noticed, in the reflection of a slightly burned car behind the bald man was the reflection of his back, for a moment Yang was torn between laughing at the fact that the front of his clothes was untouched and the back completely untouched. burned exposing his back and ass to the open air or drooling with desire at the sight of his back and leg muscles so well built and formed.
And there it was, Yang was a humor girl who loved bad jokes and funny situations, but if there was one thing she loved most, it was well-built muscles. Since she was a child she loved muscles, aiming to have the perfect body, so she trained and trained, this being one of the fundamental reasons why she wanted to become a hunter.
And that bald egghead's muscles were divine, she could only wonder how such simple clothes could hide such a perfect body? Muscles were able to tell stories and there were two types of muscular bodies: The ones to show off and the natural ones forged through lifelong training and experience, she herself refined her muscles as best she could throughout her nineteen years of age. .
But this bald man's muscles were like steel, forged in almost impossible training and battles, the only thing out of place in those perfect muscles was the lack of scars which only made that body even better, for this man had been through suicidal battles and had succeeded. not only survive, but also without scarring wounds.
And those muscles along with the bored gaze and relaxed body showed that he hadn't encountered an exciting challenge in a considerably long time, the Yang who had joined Beacon would no doubt hit on him until something between the two of them happened, but now she had a girlfriend sexy that awaited her, that wouldn't stop her from holding back her lustful gaze.
"Um... You look fine, well, so I'm going to see if that guy is ok..." The bald man said a little uncomfortable with the look the girl gave him, Yang got up, still with his eyes on the bald man. , "Let me go along... Maybe I can help you" she muttered, making the bald man even more uncomfortable.
"Okay", he disappeared from her sight, freezing her for a moment, 'Teleportation Face, very useful indeed... I wonder if he could go toe-to-toe with Cinder, if only for a minute', the his help in Atlas could have turned the tables in their favor.
Yang started to run to where the battle had started earlier, forgetting, even if for some time that she had almost died and as she ran, she realized the damage that the attack had done in the city, how many people must have died... well that the city was already strangely empty even before Yang arrived, after all, in that whole place, she had found only 4 individuals: the now mummified thief, the boy with the very powerful prosthetic arms, the mutated Fauns and the bald with divine muscles.
Perhaps this is an abandoned city after all, as there were no charred bodies or signs of life, as if no one had been there for a while. 'Better an abandoned town than a town full of bodies', a memory of Beacon's downfall flashed through the blonde's head.
She soon arrived on the battlefield and noticed two things: 1-A building was completely covered in blood and 2-The boy was a robot just like Penny, you could see from what was left of him, only Atlas must have this technology, but yang it's certainly not that far end of the world, but there was still the possibility of it being an army project, but one thing to point out, was that he was apparently harder to kill than the redhead, since even in pieces he was talking to the grimace.
Yang wanted to slap him for almost killing her, but she felt that if she touched him, the boy would fall into a thousand pieces, so she just contented herself with cursing him.
"Hey you Atlesian asshole, you almost KILLED me! But of course, what did you expect from an imbecile of your type", the boy turned to her, well... What was left of him, 'what happened to this guy anyway?', "I'm sorry! I forgot you two were around, my intention was not to hurt anyone", at least she knew how to apologize, but that wasn't enough to assuage Yang's anger.
"You damn idiot! How can you forget about us! And look what you did, how many people you must have hurt with that stupid attack of yours!", he looked melancholy for a second, but maybe it was just Yang's impression, "I scanned the area, there was no one within range explosion... With the exception of the two of you...".
He looked regretful, 'So much destructive power and no sense...', an arrogant guy, but who clearly had screws missing from his head, the joke she thought internally eased her anger a little, "Just don't forget next time, OK?" she let out a breath she had no idea she was holding.
The bald man was gone again, while Yang took out her anger on the robot, she could no longer contemplate the divine muscles, the only good thing about the robot's explosion had been that sight, it would have also been nice to ask for his help in the fight against Salem, ' That is if I'm not in the afterlife', which it seemed to be, since she was in an unknown place she had no idea where she could be.
"I won't make the same mistake again, now Master Saitama will teach me." Yang paused for a second, not wondering how much blood was smearing a nearby building.
"Master Saitama? You mean the bald man with godly muscles?" she asked him, "Yes, he will help me get stronger", 'this guy had made an explosion that would make the Atlesian colossus ashamed and he wants to get stronger? Totally Understandable'.
Well, Yang had a person that he could get information from and find out where he was and think of a way to get back to his friends, maybe that could include the help of Saitama and this guy, their help would be a wonder against Cinder and Salem.
"Well, what's your name? Mine is Yang" she asked, it wouldn't hurt to start with a presentation.
The robot stared at her for a few moments and then replied "Genos", just giving his name, he didn't look too happy.
"So, do you know where I am?", she asked becoming serious, she didn't need to be distracted or waste time, the blonde didn't intend to question the blood that had painted a building nearby or the absence of that Mutant Mosquito Faun.
"City Z" She watched Genos, there was no sign of any lies, who was the idiot who named a city after a letter of the alphabet, especially one as big as this one, 'there are no walls on the city's border to keep Grimms from entering. ..'.
"Alright… What realm are we in? Maybe Atlas?" Yang tried again, there was a strange uneasiness inside him, which only increased with Genos' slight confusion, "Kingdom? It's been over a millennium since there were any realms, unless you're talking about some lost or hidden civilization." Yang looked at him, measuring him carefully.
"Okay… So tell me, are there Grimms in this place?", she asked slowly, Yang really wanted this to be a lost or secret island in Remnant, as unlikely as it was, it would be better than the other possibilities.
"Is Grimm some kind of monster? I don't have any data on 'Grimms'", she let out a long breath, as she noticed a drone flying straight towards the Robot, "Looks like I'll need to go, you can ask one more question".
Yang let out a long sigh, that had been a long day and it was far from over, "I see, do you know where the nearest inhabited area is?", the drone was right on top of the robot attaching its cables to it, "A evacuation has made most of the civilians go to the shelters, when they realize the threat has been eliminated they should go back, but if you want to know the direction of the shelter it is 64 kilometers from here in the northeast direction.
"Thank you so much" She said as she watched the robot being carried through the air, 'That just complicates things even more... It seems I'm not in Remnant anymore... I hope this isn't an isekai...'.
Yang was gone, she had to find out where she was.
