A/N: Sorry for the delay on this chapter, but Ignoring that here is Chapter 21: Welcome to Korriban!
Chapter 21: Welcome to Korriban
Back in the hangers of Waldstahl, the girl's eyes were wide as they stared at the ship in front of them, it was massive. Apparently, it started life as a Fury-class interceptor, but Ruby and Weiss had seen and been on one of those as Imperious had brought hers with her. This one was sleek, tt was much more elegant as the hull looked like smooth obsidian colored panels. The cockpit was more extended from the hull in a more conical shaped that was designed to allow more access to the cockpit, along with a better view. Malserik called the ship a masterful hybrid between a Fury and a Phantom, as it gave the best of both ships with few of the drawbacks. Along with carrying a vast arsenal of equipment and technology that he engineered and installed.
Prior to the girls even seeing the ship, Malserik gave an hour-long presentation about its features. Jamming Fields, Heavy laser turrets on the top and bottom, advanced weapon systems, two Aurek-class strike fighters and other various modifications that made this ship one of the most cutting edge ships the Empire had and it didn't even know about it.
Imperious herself was quite impressed with how Malserik managed to complete such a ship, even though he most likely would have never used it. Though it was a great ship to prove to be a proof of concept. Looking at the ship Weiss's eyes were wide with shock, Ruby's shocked look morphed into one of a Cheshire grin at the fact this Ship was to be theirs. Though one person who peaked out of the ship had to comment on the look on Ruby's face.
"Hey, Red you may want to stop smirking like that. Neo might start taking a liking to you," Torchwick jested as he walked down the stepped ramp at the rear of the ship. Clad in his Hiskalan Guard uniform. The suave criminal no longer wore his bowler cap that was replaced with a beret, he stopped applying his make up and put an eye patch over his useless right eye. His cane was long gone and had been replaced by a custom blaster pistol that he called 'The Commissar,' strapped to his thigh.
"What's he doing there?" Ruby inquired with a hiss as she got angry at being called 'Red', while Weiss too was concerned why Roman was on the ship as she gestured to the annoying officer.
"I thought it would do good to have you four work together on your missions," Malserik replied honestly, though Malserik knew this was going to aggravate them. He quite liked Commander Torchwick, his lack of a professional attitude was quite a change of pace.
"So Neo is on there too?" Weiss asked calmly. Unlike her orange haired counterpart, She was tolerable and polite.
"Correct," Malserik faintly smiled, being thankful he planned for them to be crew on this ship and taught the non-Sith duo how to fly it.
"Ruby, Weiss, this ship will be your one of your aces in the hole against our enemies," Imperious announced as she put her hands on the apprentice's shoulders.
"Yes this was originally going to be my ship but I was convinced I am needed here in Hiskal," Malserik said calmly though he shot an aggravated glare at Imperious, "so this will be your ship, though return here after you have either recruited or killed the Korriban Tomb Witch."
"Her name is Pyrrha!" Weiss exclaimed with a growl, tired of hearing their friend referred to as a 'tomb witch.'
"Well then, bring her back so I can call her by her real name," Malserik replied calmly, though it was evident by the undertone of his voice, he was angry.
"Your contacts will be a Darths Velocitous and Volitika," Imperious explained, excited for her apprentices first mission not on Drommund Kaas, " Velocitous should be the one who stands out the most as he is a Chiss and he is expecting your arrivals so get going," Imperious smiled as they bolted into the ship and Torchwick grumbled something as he raised up the ramp.
Inside, the girls were shocked at the sleek interior that was like that of the fury just sleeked down nowhere near as sharp and contained the same aesthetic style of Waldstahl. Roman walked forward toward the cockpit as Ruby and Weiss made the decision to follow them to the cockpit, where Neo was sitting in one of the pilot seats. The cockpit was filled with computers and various other gadget related to the advanced functions of the ship.
"Welcome aboard, my ladies," Neo spoke in her new imperial accented voice.
"See, she shows us respect Roman," Weiss huffed critical of Roman's lack of respect.
"Well let's put it this way you didn't kill me yet Ice Queen," Roman smiled as he taunted Weiss though he felt a nice thorough pressure on his throat from that remark, though it wasn't from Weiss it was from Red, who was holding up her gauntleted hand grasping Romans throat with the force.
"What did I say about the damn nicknames, Roman?" Ruby growled at her captive.
"Do-n't use th-em," Roman struggled to say as Ruby continued to clench his throat using the force.
"Good, see to it you remember that this time" Ruby hissed in a way that scared Roman as Cinder did use the same ability on him before though cinder held him till he was about to pass out, Ruby only held him till her point was made. Damn, I hate how she can do that, Roman cursed in his head "Yeah I know you do," Ruby stabbed using her reading ability on Roman, who grumbled about that.
"Ruby, you scare me sometimes," Weiss stated bluntly as she knew Ruby had low tolerances for stupidity and other things now but she had only used choking one other time for intimidation, and that was when a scumbag drunk imperial regular that came to hit on Weiss while they were in Hiskal on a date. It was at times like this Weiss realized how much Ruby had changed.
"Hey, he shouldn't call me Red then," Ruby stated bluntly as she took a seat in the chair overlooking the pilot pit. Sitting down in a way that exuded ownership and confidence.
"I will agree I hate being called 'Ice Queen' by that clown," Weiss admitted with a smirk as roman groaned,
"I'm still here, ladies." Roman groaned annoyed, as he rubbed his now sore throat.
"We know," they responded at the same time.
"We just like to piss you off," Ruby continued with a snarky extension and a slight content smirk.
"So we are going to Korriban?" Neo asked as she brought up the galaxy map, thus terminating the annoying conversation. She knew Roman was pushing his luck trying to get under their skin like that. She knew if he pushed the wrong buttons, he could end up injured or worse.
"Yes," they both responded. With that cleared Neo began operating the controls and the ship hummed to life. Roman quickly followed suit, helping pilot the ship. Within a minute, the ship was off the ground and darting out of the hanger.
Outside the ship Malserik and Imperious watched the ship lift off the floor of the hanger, its landing gear retracting, engines flaring red as the ship roared out of the hanger and up into the void. The sound was deafening, though
"You could say I'm angry right now, Ceres," Malserik spoke, his voice solemn, "but part of me is proud."
"You're angry at the loss of a ship project I funded, remember," Imperious smiled, reminding Malserik she funded the Whispering Specter, "though, I can feel proud of them myself Malserik," Imperious hung her head slightly. "If they pull this off I am going to name them Lords, and then I want you to help them build their own sabers."
"Really, I didn't think Ruby had a design," Malserik said slightly surprised as over the five months he barely dealt with Ruby. Even during her tutelage under him, he was more hands off with her training.
"She's got a design that would make SturmKreig jealous," Imperious said in a way to tease Malserik, "I want you to get her and Weiss the finest Materials you have," Imperious said calmly as Malserik knew what she meant by 'fine materials," she meant materials from his collection.
"Let me guess you have something in mind for the girls as well?" Malserik inquired to make sure he wasn't the only one putting resources on the line for these girls.
"Trust me I've been working on something for them," Imperious smirked, a look Malserik knew meant trouble.
"You have been designing outfits again haven't you?" Malserik asked teasingly, knowing his superior's hobby.
"Hey you still have that outfit I made for you, you know, I want to see you wear it someday," Imperious smiled, she really wanted to see him in said outfit, but alas, Malserik would probably never wear it. Malserik had his science, technology, and engineering, stuff Imperious knew she couldn't do. Though it was known Imperious was a bit of a nut for clothing. She loved how her clothes could make her the center of attention in the dark council, not for how elaborate they were, but how simple yet elegant they were.
On the distant desert would of Tatooine another battle was coming to fruition. Reports of the Sand People War Maiden had reached the Jedi. the sand was course under his boots, his robes where traditional tans and whites. For a freshly made knight of five months, Edrik was sure he could handle the situation; of all the controversy of the Jedi he drew a lot of it as he was Pureblood Sith, though unlike his fellow people he felt the call of the light, after he was awoken to its call by master Surik.
The Jedi suspected it was just a female sand person that found out they were force sensitive and pulled a lightsaber off of some old relics of bygone eras. Though some had theories she could be something else entirely. The locals knew where her 'camp' was located. Though they told the Pureblood Jedi calling it a camp was a massive disrespect, it was a like a city. No motley gang of settlers or miners with blasters could take on the Night Raiders. So the settlers of Tatooine called for Jedi assistance from the local Jedi stationed on Tatooine. None of them were, sadly, seen again. That was why Edrik was there.
From afar Edrik could see the night raiders camp, it was massive, lots of small tents with a large fortress made out of a dead greater krayt dragon. He now knew this wasn't going to be easy.
This was the four's first time actually going through hyperspace, it was beautiful in a strange way, the flow of the blue vortex around their ship. Ruby was in awe of this powerful machine, the hum of the hyperdrive ran throughout the ship. It was a pleasant sound Ruby enjoyed. Weiss liked the idea of space travel though wasn't fully comfortable with the idea due to all of the risks involved.
Though half way through the flight Ruby and Weiss began to explore the ship for what it was worth, the Captain's quarters were very nicely decorated with a nice desk Weiss and Ruby could do work on. The bed was massive almost made them curious if either Malserik just liked a large bed, or did he plan on sharing it with someone but the added confusion came when they saw the other two bunks shoved in the room's wall as if for guests or guards. The main lounge was nice and comfortably decorated and had seating for a large amount of people and even had a game table. The center of the room was divided by a tube merged into the large top and bottom turret controls. Due to this, the holo terminal was in an alcove in the wall against cockpit wall.
The layout was altered from the standard Fury. The workshop in the room past the cargo bay and a hanger with two modified Aurek fighters just past the conference room were just two of the changes Maslerik made. This definitely wasn't a standard fury class any as indicated also by the additional bunks Malserik added to the ship. Malserik designed this ship to be a mobile operations center. That's when they heard the hyperdrive disengaged and they heard the normal engines roar to life. Hearing this they returned to the cockpit.
"Unidentified Vessel, Identify yourself!" A transmission blurted through Neo's console, to which she rolled her eyes.
"This is Imperial test vessel W-S-Zero-Zero-One, Whispering Specter, Clearance for landing should have been authorized by Darth Velocitous," Neo responded calmly as Ruby and Weiss watched as they approached at the desert world.
"Ah, yes, we see his authorization, W-S-Zero-Zero-One, proceed to pad five four." The traffic controller responded.
"Proceeding," Neo answered as they darted through the atmosphere, this ship was fast Neo gave it that. She saw fifty-four as she skimmed the valley, where they were located. Burning the engines she rotated the ship around so the rear ramp faced the entrance to the landing pad.
On the ground two Darth's watched the ship coming down on saying "Holy Shit! Malserik you outdid yourself," The armored Sith spoke wide eyed as she saw the ships landing gear extend and touched down. The obsidian black hull gleaming in the sunlight of Korriban's star. Watching this as well the Chiss Darth smiled and replied with,
"Things like this are no surprise if you have known Malserik for as long as I have," the Chiss responded to his Mandalorian friend's comment. Malserik had a reputation among Imperious's group of being a master of technology and engineering, though the empire at large mostly ignored some of the remarkable advancement's he made.
"What is he, some mad scientist that lives in a castle on top of a mountain?" Volitika jested as Velocitous chuckled as that is basically what Malserik is. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, you just nailed it on the head, that is Malserik," the Chiss laughed as the landing gear of the landing ship hissed out as it took the weight of the ship.
"Wow really?" Volitika inquired not sure if the Chiss was joking. With a glance at his face, she could tell he was serious, as one of the newest members of the order Volitika was still unfamiliar with some of the more veteran members of the order "I knew Imperious was a clothes nut, but damn we have a mad scientist too?"
"Yes," Velocitous said composing himself as the ramp on the ship lowered. The sight of the cloaks of black and white immediately gave away their identities of the Dove and Raven of Hiskal. the Chiss smiled seeing them with their hoods up as they approached. The Chiss couldn't see their faces due to the peaked hoods.
"Darth Velocitous?" the Raven, who Velocitous knew to be Ruby asked. He could tell from the images that he got from Imperious she was young, but only seeing her in person did he realize she wasn't even an adult by imperial standards. Though from the what he heard she didn't have to be an adult, she was still a skilled Sith.
"I take it that one is Darth Volitika?" The Dove asked gesturing to the armored Sith. Velocitous could tell by the way she carried herself she was Malserik's apprentice.
"That is correct, Dove," She replied aggravated, did they not show them what we look like? She asked herself, it was at this point the Raven gave off a very unnerving presence like she was looking through her and her counterpart to see the truth. After her gaze was averted, the Raven gave a gesture to her counterpart.
"So I take it you are Viridian's and Ceres's apprentices?" The Chiss asked calmly, returning to business. Ignoring the feeling that the raven gave off, he smiled at them.
"That would be us," Ruby Responded, her voice sounding notably more cheerful than before.
"Good to hear," Velocitous said calmly. "Come inside, we will brief you on the situation over some tea," finishing his sentence with a smile. The ship behind them took off again, Malserik's orders, 'never touch down longer than needed.'
The duo and the Darth's walked into the immense structure that was the Sith academy. It was an impressive sight for the girls as other acolytes looked at them with fear. Most of them knew of the Dove and Raven of Hiskal, as they had cut down numerous apprentices. Seeing them on Korriban was something completely unexpected by those that heard of them, but none could mistake their cloaks. Ruby and Weiss both noted many of the acolytes didn't even have lightsabers yet. The acolytes knew any attempt against them would be suicide, though the looks they were giving the two knights was one of pure menace. After about five minutes of walking, they found their way to Velocitous office. Where he began to brief the girls on the situation.
Back on Tatooine, Edrik was carving his way through the sand people's camp. They left him no choice. They attacked him as he approached their camp. He pushed many away but they kept coming, he felt no remorse, only peace. He wished these people didn't choose such a dark path. Their weapons were useless against a lightsaber. He cut down many sand people carving a path to the War Maiden's throne, though once he managed to get within a few meters of her fortress, he heard a booming cry from a sand person female, whom he assumed was the war maiden. This cry caused all of the night raiders to back off and clear an alley through the crowd as it parted to make way for the war maiden. Who walked through it with her pike in hand. She stopped before him and raised a hand causing the sand people to back off.
"Do you speak basic?" Edrik asked at the approaching woman. He could tell she was smiling as she approached. Looking at her figure, The Jedi could tell she wasn't a Sand person, she was human. As she stopped in front of him, he could see the insanity behind her mask, her eyes wide, horrifying grin and that glint in her eyes that reflected her mental state. He knew this look from some of his own people, the Sith.
"I do, do you speak sloth!?" She asked with an insane cheer to her voice. She said chucking her pike up into the air randomly, only to catch it.
"You know I could help you," the youthful pureblood Jedi proclaimed calmly.
"Tell me, do you know how much force it takes to break a femur?" she asked with the same insane cheer to her voice.
"No?" he said slightly distraught by the question.
"Let's find out!" she cheered, igniting her pink lightsaber pike as she darted forward. The Jedi parried her strike as she retracted the pike and thrust it forth again though the Jedi saw sparks flying up her body, she was using force lightning on herself. This caused the Jedi to raise an eyebrow, but then he noted, doing this the girl's strength grew immensely with each parried strike. He also noticed a massive increase in speed and recklessness.
She spun the pike through the air like it was nothing. The blade was a pink hurricane-like assault, slice from the left, loop around to hit to the right, retract, thrust, overhead spin, hit the ground with the blade. Her skills with the pike were amazing. Her strikes seemed to be driven by insanity unlike anything he had seen and this horrified the young Jedi Knight.
Her movements were erratic and unpredictable, he could barely keep up with how she was moving. Her movement also seemed to be riddled with taunting; either that or she was completely insane. Cheering with each strike, under the red lenses of her monstrous mask, he could see her eyes were wide with a spark of insanity. Who was this girl?Edrik asked himself. She was no Sith but she wasn't a sand person. He landed a hit only for it to bounce off a pink colored field that engulfed her body. He realized this was like the field those other four Jedi had.
He had to shift priorities, his main target was the shaft of her lightsaber pike. If he could disarm her maybe she would be able to be reasoned with. Though that's when she managed to get a stab in on the Jedi with the flanged spike end of the pike. Her followers started cheering like the battle was over from that one blow. It was far from over the Jedi pushed on the offense as he realized his movements were becoming sluggish as a dull numbed pain crept up his body. That's when one of his legs gave out causing him to fall.
"Oh feeling the poison, Good!" the insane woman cheered as she ripped the lightsaber from his hand with the force. "Now then let's make a sloth out of you!" she said taking up a gaffi stick and slamming the heavy weighted end on his left femur snapping it like a twig, then the other. The Jedi screamed in pain at the fractures. That's when the war maiden said something in the sand people's language. He couldn't understand what she said but it wasn't good for him as the sand people began to haul him away every raider hitting him with their gaffi sticks as he was drug on the ground.
Back on Korriban, the duo had been briefed on the situation in the valley of dark lords, Ruby wasn't one much for Tea, but Velocitous made some really good tea. Velocitous seemed to be the pleasantries along with business type of person. Though Volitika seemed to be the type that just wanted to get out there and fight by the way she was kicking the wall and looking around. She was either paranoid or she wanted something to attack. From the feeling Ruby got off of her, it was a mix of both. Despite her discomfort, she stayed in the room, though she grew more anxious with each passing second.
Weiss did most of the talking, as she connected with the gentlemanly Sith. Though after ten minutes of sipping tea and discussing the situation, It became evident that that Velocitous was in no hurry and was seemingly enjoying the conversation. Weiss quickly became annoyed by this and asked,
"So when do we leave for the tombs?" Weiss asked with a calm facade, taking the last sip of her tea. She was starting to get impatient with this relaxed discussion. Though, when Weiss is starting to lose her patience, Ruby had long lost hers. Her fidgeting had evolved into foot tapping, the into checking over her kit. She was even tempted to go join Volitika in a round of kick the wall so time seemingly goes faster.
"You may leave now if you so desire," Velocitous replied calmly setting down his tea and standing up. With this statement, the two apprentices sighed with relief, though Volitika had to express her frustration with her counterpart.
"Finally!" Volitika groaned in exasperation, "Damn Dyekar you could kill your enemies by boring them to death!" Volitika continued with a long winded statement giving Velocitous's real name in the process, something the two apprentices noted.
"Well at least I can be civil, unlike you Revecca," He quipped back at the Mandalorian, hissing her real name, "Imperious also said you two are to go with our apprentices as our appearance would tip our enemies off a little too much right now,"
"You ass! You said we would be going with them!" Volitika yelled at her blue skinned counterpart. The next words exploded from her lips in a very hostile rant. "Damn it, you drag me through this long ass tea party with a promise of a good bloodletting, and then you tell me Imperious said for us to stay the hell back!"
"Well this just got awkward," Ruby spoke here eyes wide, as she saw a smug smirk on Velocitous's face, something told Ruby he liked to mess with Volitika.
"That it did," Weiss nodded in agreement.
"You will find as skiff to take you to the valley, our apprentices will be there waiting for you," Velocitous said as the girls walked out of the room as Volitika unleashed vocal hell on the Chiss. As they walked out the door, they saw standing outside were two acolytes with their practice swords drawn. The fear they had was pathetic.
Weiss took offense at just the sight of these two, teenagers one male zeltron, one female togruta. Really they send us children CHILDREN! No wonder the lords we have faced were so week they don't want to get their hands dirty.With her inner tantrum out of the way, Weiss picked them up with force grip and slammed them into the walls knocking them unconscious instantly. The wall they hit was dented and the acolytes fell to the ground with a satisfying thud.
Ruby laughed as they fell to the ground. She loved it when Weiss got angry and showed off her power. Back on Remnant Weiss's anger normal frightened her, but now it was something she loved when it wasn't directed at her. With that thought in mind
"Damn! Not even gonna give them a chance!" Ruby burst out laughing, "that's the Weiss I know and love!" Ruby smiled as Ruby ignited her blade to finish off the unconscious acolytes, but Weiss stopped her with a hand on the shoulder.
After Ruby retracted her blade, The two masters behind them must have heard the commotion as they walked out of the office and looked at the acolytes. They quickly dismissed the girls with a simple gesture. As they did Weiss began her rant
"Cowards, they are all cowards!" Weiss growled as they continued walking "They won't even come fight us in person. Oh no, they just send us their trash they can't be bothered to take care of themselves," Weiss ranted as Ruby smiled at her partner's anger and frustration.
"Who would want to? When we are together we destroy our foes," Ruby spoke verbosely as they walked out the front of the Academy through its grand entrance and down the skiff dock located nearby.
"I know we do Ruby," Weiss spoke Solemnly as a storm of thoughts entered her mind. They found the skiff Velocitous was talking about, on it were two female apprentices one dressed in light battle armor like Volitika the other in light robes like Velocitous.
On the skiff, the two girls were talking as they leaned on the railing to watch the two cloaked Sith approaching them. They definitely appeared unique as they walked, they looked like opposites black and red, with white and blue. They had seen footage of the duo, they were exemplary apprentices.
"So that is the Dove and Raven, huh they don't look so tough, Korva," the first apprentice in battle armor spoke, she was definitely a unique sight, a Zeltron with white hair.
"You know they have killed a Darth right, Ryaka?" The Pureblood apprentice said as the birds of Hiskal approached the
"So you are the apprentices of Volitika and Velocitous?" The dove asked of them, gesturing to the skiff.
"That would be us," Ryaka answered, with that out of the way, the duo climbed aboard the skiff.
"Do Volitika and Velocitous always fight like that?" Ruby asked the first thing that she had on her mind.
"Was Velocitous messing with her again?" Korva asked calmly.
"Yes," they both said simply in synchronization. Something that caused the other two apprentices to look at each other puzzled at the synchronization.
"That'd do it," Ryaka said her face in a pseudo frown, "So what's your names?"
"This is Weiss Schnee," Ruby smiled lowering her hood gesturing to Weiss, who was oddly quiet given the situation. "And I am Ruby Rose," Ruby continued with Weiss taking her hood down shortly after.
"Well, I'm Ryaka Matta this is Korva Avulus" The pink-skinned white haired girl smirked energetically.
"A pleasure," Weiss replied, her voice sounding like something was putting her off.
"Likewise," Ruby smirked, as her attention turned to Weiss "Something wrong Weiss?" Ruby asked as she was getting an off feeling from Weiss.
"Just thoughts I've been having," Weiss said, "do you wish we could go back to Remnant?" Weiss inquired of Ruby.
"I used to, if everyone we knew and loved was still there I would say yes, but let's face it we are all petals on the wind," Ruby answered truthfully as the skiff started to move and Ryaka and Korva backed off as they didn't want to get involved with these two's personal lives... they got enough relationship drama from their masters after all. Ruby noting the other duo backing off, she continued with "Scattered, far and wide, so far from home. Even if we could go back it wouldn't be the same place, none of our friends are there anymore."
"What about our family?" Weiss asked of Ruby forgetting about Ruby's family.
"They are all gone and your sister is too, you still have your mother, father, and your brother, Whitley," Ruby spoke she knew Weiss had a brother but, She rarely talked about him, "if you want to go back to them, I understand, but I..." Ruby stopped though, after a few tense moments, she continued with "I have no one left," Ruby said clenching her right metal hand onto the skiffs railing, deforming it. "Remnant doesn't need us anymore, Weiss, we are dead there," Ruby spoke her voice filling with Emotion. "And I am happy here, I mean look at us now, we have our lightsabers, we have power, we are heroes! we are badasses!"
"You have changed so much," Weiss spoke quietly reminiscing how Ruby was before all this had started. Ruby was sweet, keen on helping, and dreamed of being a hero. Now she was mean and cold hearted, she could still be sweet but she could also be downright scary. Ruby went from couldn't hurt a fly to choking those that merely pissed her off and even capable of finishing off attackers without a flinch.
Though, Weiss did like how serious he became along with intelligent. To add on to it, Ruby had become quite a good looking woman and over time her eyes added to her look rather than detracted from it, it allowed Ruby to pull off a look that could make people cower in fear of her. Her voice had lowered a little bit sounding more like a woman, not a teenager, though when she growled she sounded nothing like Ruby she sounded like a wolf. Along with that, her voice was starting to develop a slight variation in dialect like an accent was forming. Still part of Weiss seemed to miss the old silver eyed ball of hyperactivity that Ruby was, though part of her liked the way Ruby had evolved.
"You know Weiss I was scared to change the way I have. Now that I have embraced it I feel so much more than I did on Remnant, for once I feel strong," Ruby spoke with vigor as she looked at Weiss, who she sensed was not having an easy time sitting there on the Skiff as they ripped down the canyons, "so what, Weiss? Are you regretting the things we have done?" Ruby asked of Weiss.
Weiss thought for a few moments before giving her answer to Ruby, putting her hand to feel the scars on her face then looking at the amulet on her hand, she smirked and stood up and said,
"May nothing get in our way, for if they do we will cut them down without remorse," her voice sounded cold as ice when she said that though she had a smirk on her lips when she did. "I have no regrets, as all of our friends are gone. Remnant is no place for us, I think we have found the place we belong now. Remnant was pure torture at the hands of the Grimm and Cinder. We lost our friends, our families, we won't lose each other." Weiss said as Ruby smiled back glad to hear she had gotten over whatever was bugging her, "Besides I have you with me, why would I leave?" Weiss continued unexpectedly, with a blush on her face.
"Aye, love birds, we are almost there!" Ryaka yelled at them, letting them finish their tender moment.
"Hey when we are all done with this, we should do something fun," Ruby smiled at Weiss as she grabbed her repaired sabers off her belt.
A/N: Well that was Chapter 21. it's another set up chapter for the events of next chapter, something I plan on having a bit of fun reworking. I am sorry for taking so long, I have been relaxing a bit on the story.
Now with that feel free to ask any questions if you have them, or give suggestions or corrections once again if you have any please give them or leave a review. With that out of the way, be safe, have fun, and may the force be with you! (Have a safe Halloween!)
