Alright, here is chapter 6. Sorry for the wait. I had a busy month. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.
Ember sat silently as she adjusted...her brother...gone, her Father..dead. She held the sword that Ash had entrusted to her, her only memento of her Father.
"Ember...are you okay"? Taran asked, entering.
"No...no I'm not". Ember muttered.
Taran sighed and walked towards her, sitting on her bed. "He was a strong warrior...I owe him my life...and I think I know a way to repay that debt". Taran began, causing Ember to blink.
Garnet sat on his bed at the Rose/Xiaolong residence. Summer, Taiyang, and Qrow had all been shell shocked to hear about Ash's murder, and Tai started panicking when he realized Ruby could be in danger, only being stopped by the fact he can't world hop.
"So...Ash is dead". Qrow muttered, rubbing his forehead.
"I'm so sorry". Summer said, embracing her grandson, who returned it.
"We need to get somewhere safe". Taiyang suggests.
"You guys are, Garnet and I are staying here". Qrow said.
"Qrow! You can't be serious"?! Taiyang snapped.
"Yes, I am". Came Qrow's response, before said man turned to Garnet. "Listen up Garnet".
(This, means Taran is talking. This, means Qrow is talking)
"I will put you through Shado Pan training, and it will not be easy".
"This ain't gonna be some kiddie training I've been giving you kiddo, this is real training, and I'm not going to pull any punches".
"You will grow strong, and be able to avenge your Father".
"Then you can go find the man that did this, and make him regret ever messing with you".
"Be aware-
"But know this-
"I won't guarantee you'll survive".
Both siblings were silent, before they look up. "I WILL succeed"!
Taran smiled. "Then welcome to the Shado-Pan".
Qrow smirked. "There you go, an attitude like that is what pushes people forward".
Garnet grinned, while Ember smirked.
"Now, let's get to work"! Qrow shouted with a grin.
"Let us begin". Taran said sternly.
Timeskip, 4 years later.
Ember, now 16 years old. Slashed down a training dummy as she relaxed, sheathing Celestial's Will in its sheath.
She had a simple shirt and jeans on her, her hair having grown down to her upper back, not noticeable by the fact that it is always in a high ponytail, held back by a white band.
"Impressive form Ember, your opponent never stood a chance". Master Snowdrift said from behind her.
"Thank you Master Snowdrift". Ember thanked, bowing in respect.
"Now, onto the next phase". Snowdrift said.
Ember nodded, making her weapon vanish and took on a fighting stance.
"Begin"!
Ember and Snowdrift clashed, engaging in hand to hand combat, Ember throwing a kick, which Snowdrift deflected and sidekicked her stomach, knocking the breath out of her. Ember growled and elbowed Snowdrift in the gut, and ran up his stomach, kicking one foot on his stomach and kicking upward on his chin, knocking him back. Snowdrift grabbed her foot mid swing and threw her into a wall. He swung his foot at her, only for Ember to vanish instantly and uppercut him onto the other side of the room.
Snowdrift got up and nodded. "Impressive, your getting faster and faster".
Ember bowed with a smile. "Thank you Master Snowdrift".
Garnet swung his scythe down, destroying multiple Beowolves around him.
"Nice job kiddo, but remember, your opponents will be MUCH smarter." Qrow said with a smirk. "Like me for example". He said before bringing out his own scythe.
"You sure? I don't see anything different". Garnet quipped.
"Ha ha, put your money where your mouth is kid". Qrow said before the two clashed.
Qrow swung his scythe at Garnet, who blocked it and swung back, Qrow jumping back, grinning when Garnet swung around with the momentum and sliced some of the ground apart, giving him some cover.
"Nice one kiddo, still a bit slow". Qrow said with a smirk.
No response came, the dirt coming down.
"Kiddo"? Qrow asked in surprise.
"Incoming"! Garnet said, swinging down like a razor blade.
Qrow looked and blocked in time, using the momentum and swinging backwards and flinging him into a tree.
Garnet sliced the tree in half, before kicking the top half at Qrow.
Qrow shoved it aside easily, just in time to see Garnet sheath his scythe and bring out two dual curved swords, his eyes and cloak shifting to a faint green. "Whoa"! Qrow shouted, dodging back, only to see Garnet race forward on even speed, the two racing across the forest quickly, cutting down trees and Grimm as they fought.
Qrow tripped Garnet, swinging his scythe down at Garnet, right near his neck, grinning. "Nice one kiddo, but your still kinda slow".
Garnet grumbled. "Kinda hard to be fast with this kinda fighting style".
Qrow rolled his eyes. "Work past it, like everything else you did". He reminded.
"Right". Garnet muttered, getting up.
"Now let's go eat, my place this time". Qrow said with a grin.
"It's gonna be a bar again, ain't it"? Garnet asked.
"Nooooo". Qrow trailed off, walking off as Garnet followed.
"Good grief, just another day huh"?
To be continued.
And there we go, I know this is a bit short, but I wanted to get to the meat of things. So this is kinda an introductory to the 'current' Ember and Garnet. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317.
