Blue Angel

Trailer 4: Red

"Remember that you were created for a purpose."

Flashes of light. The world coming into focus. A flaming sword materializing in her hands.

"You are the soldiers created to stand against corruption. The swords forged to strike at evil."

Sword flashing through the air as she strikes at a demonic creature, wings beating as she casts a plume of scarlet flame at an immense afflicted tree.

"Even the corruption of our own creator."

A tall angel with long white hair and glowing white robes stands before them, raising her golden lance into the air, she orders the legions to strike.

"Never falter in your purpose. Never deviate from your design."

To her right and left, angels are struck down, but she fights on, slicing her sword down upon a massive monstrous root.

"Or you too will become corrupted."

She wakes up gasping, red eyes watering with pain as she quickly takes in her surroundings. She is resting on top of a haystack inside of a barn, moonlight streaming down on her from a hole in the ceiling just above her head.

She tries to get up, but gasps when she feels a stabbing pain on her back. Reaching behind her, she feels multiple small lacerations against the skin of her back, the thin cloth of her garment ripped open in several places.

Was I attacked? I must have been. How else could I have been wounded? How long have I been unconscious? Why can't I feel my-…"

Her hands scrape against her bare shoulder blades.

"My wings!" she exclaims out-loud. Vigorously rubbing her back in an effort to find them. But they do not show up.

Panic begins to well up in her.

Something is wrong with me! An enemy has clearly attacked and severely wounded me. I must report to…to…

But she can't remember the name of her leader. She can't remember the members of her legion. She can't remember her own name!

"Designation…" she whispers to herself, trying to remember, "I am designated…something…angel. I am designated…angel. My mission is to…is to…"

She draws a blank, unable to determine either her designation or her purpose. Eyes widening, she feels her heart pounding against her chest as sweat builds up on her chest, forehead, and palms.

What is wrong with me!? What is wrong with me!? What happened to me!? How badly have I been damaged!? Why can't I remember!? Why do I feel so…so…

"NO!" she bellows into the air, clenching her fists. "I am an angel! I am above such feelings!"

Suddenly, the door of the barn opens, and she comes face-to-face with a tall man, a human harvester scythe in his hand as he stares at her, hands trembling.

"Who're you!?" he barks, voice trembling with nervousness. "This place aint a tavern! Move 'long 'fore I call the mossers!"

Instinct immediately takes ahold of her as she eyes the weapon in the mans hand.

I am the soldier created to stand against corruption.

"I mean it!" the man barks, taking a step forward. In response, she leaps to her feet, fiery red hair whipping in front of her eyes as she lands. Tossing back her hair, she throws back her shoulders and stands tall as she glares up at the human.

I am the sword forged to strike at evil.

"Oi! Who are you!? I'll be toleratin' no thieves 'ere!" the man gasps, stepping back. Feeling the resolve of the man flicker, she presses her advantage, aeons of battle instincts returning to her.

I will never falter from my purpose.

Taking another step forward as the human steps back, her body suddenly flares up with bright red light, illuminating the barn and the frightened expression on the human's face. Someone has damaged her, but she will not let any other enemies overpower her.

I will never deviate from my design.

She will keep fighting.

"A-aaaaaaaaah!" the human screams as he turns around to begin running.

With a loud battle-cry, she throws out her hand, a gout of bright scarlet flame erupting from her palm before coalescing into a magma-red blade with an obsidian hilt. Leaping forward, she tackles the human to the ground before placing the burning blade just above the back of his neck.

"M-mercy!" the human screams into the ground, limbs flailing before she pins them into place. "I didn't do nothing wrong!"

This worm is clearly not the enemy that wounded me. But perhaps he can still prove useful.

"What is this place?" she growls. "How did you come to find me?"

"M-my farm?" the man gasps. "I-I heard something fall from the sky and crash into m-my barn! I-I went to, to investigate, a-and f-found, you, there…please don't kill me!"

"What country is this!?" she snarls, pressing her blade closer. "Who is your leader!?"

"T-timberholm!" the man gasps. "G-g-g-governor Emersbane is our leader!"

"Where can I find him?" she growls.

"T-t-top of the stump!" the man cries, pointing in the distance towards a city built on top of an immense tree stump.

"Thank you for cooperating. Tell no one about what happened here or I will destroy you." She warns, slamming her fist and the hilt of her sword down on the man's head. Instantly, the man goes limp with unconsciousness

Standing up, with sword in hand, she eyes the city.

"Humans." She growls. "I will learn what role you played in this. I will learn what you did to me!"

Ending A/N: A much shorter introduction this time, but hopefully just as impactful.

And now to respond once again to your reviews.

ThePLOThand chapter 3 . 17h ago

What about the readers of Arc-V fixed? I NEED MY YUSHO V YUYA! It will eventually happpen in Arc-VRAINS, but the plot doesn't require Yuya to move back to his home world yet...
And you totally had these people discuss that body to see what kind of Danganronpa or Ace attorney music I would play didn't you? But as i'm reading this around midnight (don't ask why)
I'm not gonna switch on my laptop.
Also I have this theory:
The Angels are based on Trickstars (technically vice-versa)
Sunny is Candina an the green one from this chapter is bloom

There are actually readers who read Arc-V Fixed!?

I know very little about Dagnabbitropeknot or whatever it is, so that was most likely not an influence in my decision, but I'm glad you had fun thinking of that song.

That's a very good theory. The decks of Aoi and Specter definitely shaped some plot points in this story. As for what the other angels are based on, there is actually a brief image depicting a group of five angels blasting a monster as Specter explains the plot of the book. Those four other angels standing next to Blue Angel are the angels I based the other four characters in this series on.

Epsilon Tarantula chapter 3 . 19h ago

Ah...a data reference. Fitting considering the time period this series was published. The angels feel more like A.I.s considering their purpose and what-not. But then again, Vernal does feel the most like a robot.

That being said, these trailers are more character-oriented than the RWBY ones, which tended to be more of a weapons resume...which caused everyone to vomit at the horror of slice-of-life starter arcs. Let us hope that this does not happen here.

Scarlett: But enough about my personal history or motivations! Let's focus on the logistics of my gun sword! You heard that right! Not only is my sword a flaming sword, but it can transform into a combination flamethrower/shotgun that shoots out miniature shotguns, that all shoot out cartridges full of swordsman!

Blue Angel: And now that we have finished going into detail about the mechanics of our ludicrously designed, overcomplicated weapons, LET'S GO FOR A TEA BREAK!

Sunny: Tea!

Vernal: Tea!

Scarlett: Tea!

Blue: Tea!

Sunny: TEA!

Vernal: TEA!

Scarlett: TEA!

Blue: Muddar flipping TEA!

Blue, Sunny, Vernal, and Scarlett: TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Iudex: Aren't you angels supposed to be, I don't know…defending us against monsters?

Blue: Oh, we'll get to that, RIGHT AFTER WE TALK ABOUT WHICH END OF THIS JAPANESE CHOCOLATE-FILLED PASTRY WE LIKE TO EAT FIRST!

Sunny: I like eating the smaller end first.

Vernal: I like to eat the larger end first, because then the chocolate filling falls into my mouth.

Silver: So…remind me again…why were these angels banished?

Archangel: For wasting everyone's time!

Unknowedz chapter 3 . 20h ago

Imagine all this was actually a prequel to your Yugioh Abriged. That might have explained everything about Blue Angel.
Someone from nowhere: BUT THEY DON'T MATCH TOGETHER!
Oh shut up random person. Of course I'm kidding. Of course this is as unlikely as Revolver playing Mirror Force- the very card that has been kept hidden during his duel against Ghost Girl.

Well who says it ISN'T a prequel to YGO Abridged?

Thanks for your reviews everyone. Just one more trailer left, a very special one which my good friend, Shimmering-Sky, played a hand in writing.
