Chapter Three: Silver and Yellow
The team stared up at the guy who called himself a Saiyan. His silver hair stood up on end, with a single bang crossing the left side of his face. He had piercing, yellow eyes, seemingly poking out under his silver eyebrows. A large scar filled up his right cheek, a deep maroon, as if it was still recent. He had a strange attire on, consisting in a blue body armor, and hickory protrusions to protect his shoulders and knees. Under that, a black jumpsuit, cut at the upper arm and knees. And swinging behind him, a strong, brown tail.
Wait, what?
"Uh… excuse me..." Ruby piped up. "You said something about… d-destroying-"
"Oh, no, don't worry about that. I..." He seemed to pick his words carefully.
"You smell horrible." The heiress, however, did not.
"Excuse me?"
"You stink."
"So? Don't we all?"
"When was the last time you even took a shower?"
"Weiss, I think you're missing the point..." Blake, trying to be the voice of reason, intervened, however to no avail.
"Listen, lady-"
"LADY? I am Weiss Schnee! My father is one of the most powerful men in all of Remnant!" She turned away. "I will not be talked down on by some foreigner."
"Don't mind her," Yang interrupted. "She's just a bit pissy after my sister woke her up."
"And she would be…?"
"ME!" Ruby chimed in. "My name's Ruby Rose! This is my sis', Yang, and my friends, Blake and Weiss."
"O...kay. Nice to... meet you?" His words seemed forced. "Well, if you hadn't already noticed, my ship's busted. So, I need a… favor, you would call it? I need a place to stay. For a couple days, at most."
"Well, I mean, if you want to-"
"Ruby." Weiss stopped her, giving her a look that said don't do this.
"-You could stay with us! I mean, if you wanna. Totally your choice."
"Thank you. It means a lot, actually. Oh yeah, and, Weiss, is it?" She recoiled at her name being said by the outsider. "Trust me when I say, pride is a very dangerous thing." He looked away, and covered the scar on his face with his hand.
"I know how it feels."
