Here's another one.

Thanks to the weapons left over from Gwen's days as an arms dealer, the gang now had a fully stocked armoury. But even with all that weaponry now at their disposal, there was still something missing in Ruby's opinion. There was nothing wrong with the guns they had, but none of them compared to Crescent Rose. She needed to get her baby back and she was fairly certain of where it was, but she wasn't going alone. "Hey Yang, can I talk to you about something?" she asked her sister, who was busy playing with a knife and watching the news.

Yang put the knife away, before making her way over to Ruby "What's up Rubes, is there a problem you need me to deal with?" she asked, unsure of what her sister wanted. All she knew was that it must have been something important since Ruby asked to talk to just her rather than the gang as a whole.

"I need to go get something, and I want you to come with me," Ruby responded. She could have asked any of the others, but recovering Crescent Rose was a job best suited for her and Yang. After all, there was more to it than just going to a location, grabbing the gun and heading back to base. To get it they would have to pay a visit to someone they both despised.

"Sounds like fun, what are we going to get?" Yang asked. She was excited by the prospect of going on a job with her sister, she wanted to see what Ruby could do and show her everything she knew. It would allow them to get to know each other better, and make up for years of not knowing each other existed. It didn't sound like the most exciting of tasks, but it was a start.

"On the night I was arrested, I left my rifle 'Crescent Rose' at home. I want her back, so we'll need to pay dad a visit. While we're there we can see what he has to say for himself, why he didn't even try to help when I needed him." Ruby explained. Not only would she be getting her most treasure possession back, but she would also get to have a much-needed conversation with Taiyang. Of course, she intended on doing more than just talking to the man who had failed her constantly, and she was sure Yang would love the chance to meet her father.

Yang smiled and cracked her knuckles. "As I said, sounds like fun. I'm sure Tai won't mind us dropping in," she said. Going with Ruby now sounded like an even better idea. Now she could meet her father for the first time, and punish him for his failures. Raven had raised her to resent him, but that wasn't the only reason she hated Taiyang. Knowing what he allowed Ruby to go through made her want to kill him, and she would if that's what Ruby wanted.

"Thanks, Yang. You can drive and I'll tell you how to get there, it' not too far from here." Ruby responded. She was extremely grateful to Yang for being so willing to help, and she couldn't wait to see the look on Tai's face when the two of them turned up. They grabbed the few things they would need, before heading down to the parking area. They weren't going to waste any time, as they were ready to confront him and take back Crescent Rose.

Five minutes later, Yang was speeding in the direction of Tai's apartment one of the gang's bikes. Ruby sat on the back with her arms wrapped around her sister's waist. They were both dressed in black with plain black helmets, not their usual style but they were still trying to keep their escape secret. Yang was weaving in and out of traffic, she had really missed the thrill of riding while she was cooped up in jail.

With the speed they were going, it didn't take long for them to reach the apartment. It was in an extremely run down and crime-ridden area of the city, not that it really bothered them. They weren't in any danger. If anyone tried anything they would soon learn that the two girls were the most dangerous people in the area. "So Rubes, should we knock or do you want to smash our way in?" Yang asked as they approached the apartment door.

"He's probably too drunk to answer the door, we should just let ourselves in," Ruby answered. Past experience told her that Tai would just be sitting barely conscious, with a drink in his hand. That was pretty much all he ever did, so there wasn't a chance of him bothering to answer the door. Thinking about the past made her resent Tai even more, and she couldn't wait to get back at him for the years of neglect.

Without another word, Yang slammed her foot into the door as hard as she could. Rather than the door opening, the door frame was ripped out of the wall and fell into the apartment, allowing the two girls to enter. They immediately walked inside, quickly coming face to face with a terrified Taiyang. He had clearly been drinking, but he was sober enough to know he was in trouble. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" he asked, unable to identify Yang and Ruby as they were still wearing their crash helmets.

In response, Ruby revealed her face "Hey dad, remember me." she said, before winding him with a gut punch. He dropped to his knees fighting for air, and she couldn't help but smile at the sight. The man who left her to fend for herself was now at her mercy, and she was going to make him pay for it. She had imagined doing it so every day since she went to prison, and now she was doing it.

When he recovered enough to speak, Tai looked up at his daughter "Ruby? What are you doing here? How did you get here?" he asked her. That was enough to prove that he knew she'd been in prison and he hadn't been particularly bothered by what happened to her. Where most fathers would have been pleased to have their daughter back, Tai seemed more like he hadn't expected or wanted her back.

"Oh so you do know who I am, you just don't care about me. Well don't worry I'll be going soon and then you'll never see me again, but first I need to grab Crescent Rose and introduce you to someone." Ruby told him, before kicking him in the face and going to collect her weapon. As much as she wanted to punish him, she cared more about retrieving her baby. So she left him at Yang's mercy, which was probably worse than whatever she could do to him.

As Tai lay on the floor, holding his broken and heavily bleeding nose. Yang removed her helmet and stood over him "You really are as pathetic as they said, how the fuck did you get kids?" she said. He was the most pathetic excuse for a person she'd ever met, and that was really saying something given the people she'd met over the years. She may have hated Raven, but Tai was by far her least favourite parent.

Tai looked up to see who was talking to him, and his eyes went wide with recognition. Recognition quickly became sheer terror "Gods no, not you. Anyone but you." he begged. Like that was going to help him. Even though they'd never met, it was fairly clear that he knew exactly who Yang was. He knew she was his and Raven's daughter, and he must have known about everything she'd done.

"I'm afraid you're out of luck. It is me and I know how much Ruby suffered because of you. But don't worry I won't kill you, I'm just going to hurt you really really badly." she said in an incredibly menacing way, before pulling him to his feet. She certainly could have killed him and wouldn't have lost any sleep over it, but she really just wanted to make him suffer.

She started by repeatedly slamming him against the wall while holding him by the throat, she did it until she heard some of his ribs breaking from the force. The more ribs she broke, the more likely he was to die from a punctured lung. He was already spitting blood, so she had to move on to another part of his body. His suffering would end too soon if she gave him a fatal wound.

Despite the fact that Tai was struggling to breathe, Yang didn't let up for even a second. She picked up one of the many empty bottles lying around the place and started using it as a weapon. She repeatedly hit him in the face with it, quickly rendering him unrecognizable. She broke a number of bones in his face and knocked several of his teeth out before she fractured one of his eye-sockets, which ended up blinding him in one eye.

She dropped the bottle after that, choosing to move on to the next part of his body. She threw him to the ground and held him down with her foot while keeping a firm grip on his arm. She held him there long enough for her to break each of his fingers and his wrist. He was now screaming in pain but she was far from done. She placed one hand on his elbow and used the other to shove his forearm the wrong way. His arm snapped like a twig.

After letting his arm flop to the ground, Yang decided to end the beating by kneecapping Tai. Most people would use some kind of weapon to do that, but Yang was a weapon. She stamped down hard on his knees, shattering his kneecaps and permanently damaging the joints. He only had one working limb at this point, so she decided the job was done.

"Okay, Tai, I'm done with you. Just so you know, If you ever cross us after this I will kill you," she told him as she slowly walked to the where the front door had once been. The fact he was her father meant nothing to her, she was fully prepared to kill him. But for the time being, she was willing to settle for just crippling him. There was a chance he would die from his injuries, but that was a risk she was willing to take.

Tai didn't respond to Yang, having blacked out from the pain. So once Ruby returned carrying Crescent Rose, they put their helmets back on and left. There was no point hanging around, he'd been punished enough for the time being and they had what they came for. "Thanks for that Yang, you messed him up more than I could have," Ruby said as they approached the bike.

"No need to thank me, Rubes, he's had it coming for a long time. Plus I'm always happy to fuck people up for you, and It's always fun for me." Yang replied as she climbed onto the bike. She did love hurting and killing her enemies, but it was even better when she was doing it for someone she cared about. She would at least try to take out anyone the people she cared about asked her to, even if it put her own life at risk.

"Well, I'm still grateful. Now I've got my baby back, and I can stop thinking about him. Now we can focus on taking out our more dangerous and powerful enemies." Ruby told her sister, just before the bike started up and the pulled away. As far as she was concerned, she was now free from the problems of her past. Now she could focus on leading the Huntresses to victory over their many enemies.

I have a lot of things planned, so I should get a few chapters out this weekend. See you soon.
