Ch4: Weapons and Weapon-smiths
In a puff of purple and black smoke, I'm standing in the middle of the room I started out in.
"Well, it's official, I'm Nightcrawler." I say out loud, quite pleased with myself.
"Nightcrawler?" Ruby asks from right behind me.
"ACH!" I shout and jump forwards.
"What just happened?" Yang asked because, apparently, neither of them had decided to follow me.
"Not much really, your father let me have some ammo, and then tried to decapitate me. And apparently I can teleport. Nothing big really." I say, nonchalantly flicking the safety off of my beloved Colt.
"Why did you unsafe your weapon?" Ruby asks 'Why must she be so observant?'
"Paranoia. Made even more distinct by the fact that I ALMOST GOT FREAKING DECAPITATED BY YOUR FATHER!" I shout, keeping my weapon pointed at the floor.
"You can safe the weapon now, I was just trying to test you." Taiyang orders, having just walked into the room.
I mutter some unintelligible curses in German, in which I am now apparently at least partially fluent, before flicking the weapon back to safe.
"And to answer your question Ruby, Nightcrawler is a superhero from where I'm from." I say, unlocking my Iphone, finding a picture and showing them. "In the comics, his actual name is Kurt Wagner. And that is why I chose the name I did."
"So what is your real name then?" Yang asks.
"Hell if I know." I say, earning a stern look from Taiyang. "I don't remember anything to do with friends or family, or personal life. I just remember facts and the stuff that I enjoyed: hobbies, video games, comics, the like."
"So. What're you gonna do now?" Ruby asks. 'Waitaminute. That's actually a good question. what am I going to do? Become a hunter? Probably.'
"I dunno, what are you guys doing in life?" I ask, knowing full well the answer.
"We're training to become Huntresses!" Ruby says, obviously excited.
"Huntress? I'm guessing that word means something different here."
"Hunters and Huntresses protect the world from the ever-present danger of Grimm." Taiyang explains.
"Sounds cool. So, what do you use to fight these 'Grimm'?" I ask, mostly just wanting to see Crescent Rose.
"Oh no, not again." Yang mutters under her breath.
"Maybe we should go outside." Taiyang recommends, 'Yay shooting time!'
"You guys go on ahead, I've just gotta get my coat." I say, putting on the heavy garment.
'Let's see if I can do that again.' I focus on the area where I almost got decapitated… 'Nada. Focus harder. C'mon.' *BAMF* 'Haha! I've done it!...And I'm about ten feet in the air… shit.'
"AAAAACH!" *THUD* "Ooowww." I manage to stand up, despite having fallen about ten feet. "So, what about the weapons?" I ask, trying to divert attention from my painful entrance.
Ruby smiles, obviously VERY enthusiastic. "This." She says, unfolding her scythfle and twirling it awesomely, "Is Crescent Rose."
"Ember Cecilia." Yang said, her gauntlets expanding.
"Dragon's Claw." Taiyang says, pulling his sword from off his back.
"Colt Model 1911." I pause. "I'm gonna need more, aren't I?"
Ruby looks like she is about to explode with happiness, Yang looks afraid of what is soon to come, and Taiyang is trying not to laugh.
"Anyone know how to design weapons?" I ask, trying not to look too cheeky.
Ruby looks like she will explode. seriously, she looks WAY too excited.
"Ruby? You alright over there?" I ask.
"CanIpleasehelpyoumakeyourweapons?" She asks, REALLY hyper.
"Sure." I say, before she can go on another one of those allthewordsruntogether… things.
"YESSSS!" She shouts, doing a fist pump, "Illgogetmyplanningpaper!" She shouts, running inside like Quicksilver drinking coffee. 'Note to self: NEVER give her coffee.'
"You have no idea the monster you have created." Yang said, with an expression that says: you poor bastard.
"See ya." I say, walking inside, as I have no wish to accidentally Bamf inside of a wall.
"Yeah, next month." I can barely hear Yang say. 'Wohoo Faunus hearing.'
