Ruby Rocked
Chapter 2: 0 To Crazy!
-Weeks Later; Vale; Nighttime- Bradley and Ruby stood on the outside of a particular store and looked at the name of the store.
"Dust Store," Bradley said.
"Mmhmm... This is where you can get the gear you need to tweak out your Lightning Chariot. Come on," Ruby told him.
"Am I glad I got this awesome katana that turns into my very own shotgun gauntlets!" Bradley smiled as he looked at his green katana that rested in its holster on his back.
"Chu!" Sparx smiled.
"To be a huntsman, you must have a weapon at all times," Yang and Ruby's uncle's voice told him in the back of his mind.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Ladies first," Bradley smiled as he opened the door for Ruby.
"Such a gentleman," Ruby giggled as she passed by him.
"I try for my girlfriend's little sister," Bradley smiled as he walked in after her. Sparx hops off of Bradley's shoulder and walked on his hind legs beside Bradley. The red bandana Ruby gave Sparx fluttered lightly around his neck.
"Hey, Ruby... Can I ask a question?"
"Sure," Ruby smiled as she looked at him.
"Why do creatures named Grimm rule here?" Bradley asked her.
"Honestly, I don't even know myself," Ruby said as she folds her arms across her small chest.
"Well, let's see what we got here," Bradley said as he browsed the shelves. Ruby went over to a magazine rack and picked up a red magazine and began to read from it as she slipped on a pair of black headphones over her ears. Sparx hopped onto her left shoulder and looked into the magazine as well.
"Man... This selection would work for me," Bradley said as he picked up a blue canister. He then walked up to the counter and placed the canister down.
"Ahh... I like your taste, young man... General Ironwood has the same kind of upgrade to his weapon," the old man smiled.
"He must be pretty famous around Vale..." Bradley commented as he pulled out his red wallet. Suddenly, a group of men busted through the front doors and walked up to the counter.
"Excuse me... We're busy here."
"Well, your business will have to wait," a man's voice called to Bradley. Bradley turned to a man in a white suit jacket and black dress pants with black dress shoes and a red fedora. The man walked up to Bradley and looked casually at him.
"Who are you?" Bradley asked him.
"Torchwick... Roman Torchwick," the man smirked.
"Phoenix... Bradley Phoenix," Bradley told the man.
"Ah... Never heard of you," Torchwick smirked.
"Likewise," Bradley said as he rolled his eyes.
"A smart mouth, huh? Boys?" Torchwick said as he raised his staff, "Remove him." Bradley quickly grabbed the blue canister and opened it. A microchip fell out of the canister into the palm of his hand. Bradley then quickly inserts the microchip into his katana's handle and pulled out the katana.
"Oh? And, what exactly are you gonna do with that?"
"Watch," Bradley said as he spun it in a circle at his right side. The katana changed into a massive shotgun.
"Like it? It's my Lightning Chariot!" Then, a thug sailed across the room from where Ruby and Sparx were.
"This is a disaster... You 3, handle this. You, go help your buffoon teammate," Torchwick ordered. One of the thugs raced around the corner as the other 3 surrounds Bradley.
"Like Yang always says... YOLO!" Bradley called as he pulled out a small black pellet. He threw down the pellet and jumped out the window as well as Ruby. Smoke filled the entire store as Ruby and Bradley stood up.
"Man... This is a crazy situation I've gotten myself in," Bradley sighed as he shook his head.
"It's bound to happen with you, huh?" SirKnight called from her Poke Ball.
"Unfortunately, yes... That is true," Bradley sighed. He pumped the shotgun and a shotgun shell fell out of the side.
"All right... Who's first?" Ruby called as she pulled her headphones off and turned them off. She glared at the thugs surrounding her, Sparx, and Bradley and turned to Bradley with a smirk.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Bradley asked her.
"Crescendo Twister?" Ruby asked hopefully.
"Hell yes!" Bradley called as he changes the shotgun into his katana. He and Ruby grabbed each other's free hand and Bradley twirled her around in a circle.
"Sparx, Thunderbolt!"
"Chu!" Sparx called as he hopped over Bradley's head and launched a full power Thunderbolt at the surrounding gang members. Bradley then threw Ruby at one of them and she spun like a top as she used the momentum of Bradley's throw to give her more speed. She knocked the thug into the wall and bounced off of him and attacked 3 more of them the same way she attacked the 1st one. Bradley stopped spinning and charged at 2 more, slamming them into the ground. Ruby lands beside Bradley and pumps her scythe/sniper rifle combo, letting a shell casing fall out.
"Hmm... You 3 will be most troublesome if I let you live," Roman's voice called as he stepped out of the broken window, "With that in mind... I hate to say it; but, this is goodbye." He points his red and black cane at them. It opened to reveal a scope lens on top and a gun barrel pointed at them.
"Wow... No chill about it, either," Bradley said as he shook his head, "Rubes, take cover!" She nods as Sparx hops onto her left shoulder. She shot her scythe in front of her and pushed herself back a few feet. Bradley puts his katana away as he held his free right hand out in front of him.
"Oh? Are we surrendering?" Roman asked him.
"Nope," Bradley said plainly, "Waiting on you, pal."
"Don't mind if I do," Roman smirked as he shot a large orange ball at Bradley.
"Look out!" Ruby called.
"ElectroPulse," Bradley smirked. A large shockwave knocked the ball into the ground, causing an explosion to kick up smoke into the air!
"Huh?!" Ruby gasped.
"Pika Pika!" Sparx called to Bradley.
"I'm on it! Eragon, let's go!" Bradley called. Just then, a large black shadow shot out of the smoke and flew into the air. A large black lizard with black skin and large black wings hovered in the air.
(Yes... I forgot to mention. Eragon's a Shiny Charizard! A/N.)
"Wow... Cool," Ruby said to herself.
"I see him! Eragon, cut him off with Flamethrower!" Bradley called as he looked over to his right. Eragon roared as he shot flames out of his mouth towards a building. Roman stopped as flames licked at him. Eragon stopped shooting fire as he lands on the building.
"Caught you, pal... Where you gonna go now?" Bradley smirked as he hops off of Eragon's back. Ruby came up beside Bradley as Roman started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Ruby asked.
"You think you have me cornered? Well, no chance," Roman laughed. An airship hovered right behind Roman.
"What the hell?! Where did that come from?!" Bradley yelled in shock. Roman hopped onto the airship and smirks as he looked back at them.
"I'd love to stay and chat... But, I am a busy man," he called. He tossed them a red crystal and fired an orange ball at them after the crystal hits the ground in front of them.
"Whoo-hoo!" Roman called. Suddenly, an icicle crashed into the airship wall beside him. A girl with amber brown hair held a rapier in her right hand. The girl was accompanied by a blonde haired woman with glasses on her face.
"You might wanna take back that Whoo-hoo, pal... This fight ain't over yet!" the girl called as she flicked her wrist and several icicles attacked the airship. The woman waved her wand and several stalagmites also attacked the ship. Roman glared at the 2 females who came to Bradley and Ruby's aide.
"Hey... We got company," he called to the pilot. The pilot got out of her seat and Roman took over the controls. She stood at the opening of the airship where Roman stood and held her left hand out. The ground underneath them began to glow a bright red and the woman used some sort of spell to push Ruby, Sparx, and Bradley backwards out of harm's way. She flipped forward and waved her black wand. The ground shot up and the girl that was with the woman was launched towards the airship! She lands right on the side and glared at the pilot. She vaulted herself into the ship and faced the pilot.
"Who are you, anyway?" the girl asked the pilot.
"Your worst enemy," the pilot smirked as she summoned several stalagmites to race at the girl. She used her sky blue rapier to parry the stalagmites away from her and the girl charged at the woman. She swung her sword at her several times and kicked the pilot in the stomach. The pilot glared at her as she used some kind of shockwave to blow the girl off her feet. She stabs her rapier's blade into the floor to stop her fall and looked behind her. The open doorway was behind her.
"What about you, kid? Got a name?" the pilot asked as she walked up to the girl.
"My name is Callison Northwind," she told her as she stood up. Suddenly, the ship rocked back and forth! It was being attacked by several blue sharp stones as well as red and blue spheres. Bradley and a Lucario shot several Aura Spheres at the ship while the woman controlled the blue stones as they bombarded the ship.
"Aura, let's do this next attack together!" Bradley told the Lucario. The Lucario nodded as he and Bradley was surrounded in a blue energy.
"Aura Storm!" Bradley and Aura the Lucario called as they fired a large blue beam at the ship. The ship was hit on the right side and it began to malfunction.
"Hoo-ah! Right where the engine is!" Bradley called as he pumped his left fist into the air. Callison leaped out of the ship and created a platform for herself to stand on. She looked up and moved her rapier like it was a wand. Suddenly, icicles rained down onto the ship. Then, a bright red light came up from under Callison and blew her back towards the others. Bradley went over to Callison and helped her to her feet.
"Thanks... I've never seen you around here before. Got a name, bud?" Callison asked him.
"Phoenix... Bradley Edgar Phoenix," Bradley smiled, "These guys are my friends." Sparx and Eragon smiled as Aura nods to her.
"Hi there... Can't talk right now! Bradley, let's hit him with everything we've got!" Ruby called as her scythe turned into a high powered rifle. Bradley pulled out his katana and the handle snapped onto his wrists. He and Ruby fired their weapons at the pilot while Callison conjured up some icicles around her and shot them at the plane. The woman stopped the assault by blasting the incoming bullets and summoning the same red light underneath them. Eragon grabs Bradley and pulled him to safety as Aura did the same for Ruby and Sparx. The blonde moved Callison out of harm's way as she side flipped to the left. When the ground under them exploded, they were already to safety. The airship got away in the chaos.
"Damn! Cowards!" Bradley called as he looked off into the distance where the airship escaped. He sighed as he shook his head.
"Eragon... Thanks. That was a close one. Let's go see if Ruby, Aura, and Sparx are all right." Eragon smiled as he flew over to the others.
"Wow... A real Huntress. Can I get your autograph?" Ruby asked the blonde. Suddenly, Ruby was knocked out by Callison!
"Hey! What..." Bradley called as a shadow appears behind Bradley and kicked him to the ground. He crashed to the ground and slowly lost consciousness. As he did, his Pikachu raced over to him and called to him.
-Later; Interrogation Room- Bradley groaned as he sat up and looked around.
"Hello there, Sleeping Beauty... Have a good rest?" a male voice asked him. He looked around and saw a man with grey hair and glasses sitting in front of him.
"Ugh... My head. Who knocked me out?" Bradley groaned as he held his head.
"Sorry for that... Callison can get a little... Overzealous sometimes," the man said as he passed him a cup of water.
"Thanks," Bradley said as he took the water and drank it. He puts the cup down and looked at the man.
"So, you're not from here... Are you?" the man asked Bradley.
"Nope... I'm from Fells Town," Bradley told him.
"I see... Then, this is not technology from our world," the man said as he up a black Poke Ball.
"No... Can I have that back?" Bradley asked.
"Here," the man said as he hands the ball back to Bradley.
"You open it like this," Bradley said as he tossed it out after pressing a button on the front. A Gardevoir appears besides Bradley and bowed respectfully.
"Hello... I am SirKnight. It's very nice to meet you," she smiled.
"Telepathy... Amazing," the man said.
"You trust him?" Bradley asked her.
"Yes... His heart is pure," SirKnight told Bradley.
"Ok, then... You've never led me astray before," Bradley told her.
"And, you came here to train in becoming a Huntsman?" the man asked him.
"Yeah... Although, I have been to an academy before back where I'm from," Bradley told him.
"The only way to become a huntsman... Is to attend school," the man smiled as he hands him a pamphlet. It was to a school called Beacon Academy.
"Beacon? Sounds a lot like Lighthouse Academy back in the Omni Region, huh?" Bradley told SirKnight. She nods and smiled. He and her met each other at the Lighthouse Academy and have been together ever since.
(Not in that sense, though. A/N.)
"My bonds with Eragon, Aura, SirKnight, Sparx, Geckan, and Legion are pure... If I go, they go," Bradley told the man.
"Of course... They are your invaluable partners, after all. Maybe this is a time of change for everyone," the man smiled as he stood up from his seat.
"Wait... Before you go... Who exactly are you?" Bradley asked as the man walked to the door and stopped. He turned to Bradley and stopped.
"My name is Ozpin... And, I will see you at Beacon soon," the man smiled as he walked out the door and closed it behind him.
