We've been walking for twenty minuets already since we got to the docks. "Why are we here again, Weiss?" I couldn't help but wined to my team mate. Ever since Blake and the fight with Roman at the shipping yard, I found her coming here almost everyday now. My older sister, Yang stayed behind to help Blake explain her Faunus heritage to the headmaster, professor Ozpin. And I'm here following the heiress the Schnee company alone on a fish smelly dock. "I already told you Ruby," Weiss began "As students of beacon and a residents of Vale, it is mine and your responsibility to show and welcome the world to are wonderful kingdom with both food and fun." She ended it with a twinkle in her eye. That was good, it ALMOST made me believe her.
But I know the reality of why she is here. Two days after the fight with Roman and the White Fang was another one. From what we all heard, some guy from out of town met up with Cardin and Sky and sent them to the ER. Look, I hate them and I'm not trying to defend them or anything. But there injuries where so bad. I mean, Sky's finger was so twisted that they had to surgically fix it or else he might lose it. But Cardin got the worst of it as his face was smashed so bad that his cheeks, nose, chin, and jaw had to get metal plates and screws it was that bad! He must be a monster of a human to do that.
If that wasn't enough, another one happen almost last night. Some rich guy was minding his own business until more Romans goons came looking for more trouble. He shot some insult at them and they went in for the kill. But it was them that was beaten as he fought them all off with the aid of bubbles. Yeah I said it... BUBBLES.
I push it out of my mind and ran up to Weiss to keep up. "Come on Weiss. Do you really think that the dynamic duo will be here." I called her reason for being here. "Now why would I be looking for some stupid story book men. Cardin's friends just made the up to hide his bumbling mistake he made and the 'bubble man' was from a kid that wasn't suppose to be away from home." Okay then why are you here?
We continue for more then a half an hour down the docks. Still surprised to see all of tis is for the festival. I seen so many animals for the kids to pet and play to there hearts contend while the rest of them are for the chefs to make there five star meals. I've seen so much wood, metal, and paints that are here for the flouts and stands and other works of art.
And then I found it.
Weiss was complaining to some worker there about bumping into her and watching his step. So I wander over to the object that had cough my eye. A bike.
It was a motorcycle. Looks kind of like my sister rides on but looked older. Its appeared to have been well care for. It was lime green in gloss paint with something on the gas tank. As I got closer to the ride I can make out what was on the gas tank. In black and bolded was the word "GO! GO! ZEPPELI!" Zeppeli... The owner must be a fan.
I'm no racing fan, but my dad is like a hero to him. Gyro Zeppeli was a legendary biker by being one of the first guys that won the first "Steel ball run." A race that started from one kingdom and ended at another by riding there motorcycles only. After that, Gyro took his kids with him as he began on a huge winning streak. But it came to a end as he got into a accident in one of them and died three days later. In honor of his skill and memory, Vale made him a track here in town and named it after him. The Gyro track
Its so sad, I wonder what happened to his children is still unknown to me. I wanted to place my hand on the tank. To see if I can feel what the owner felt when he made it...
"Nice ride huh?" I nearly jumped as I whipped my head around to see who it is. He looked like he was my age and height with black hair with bleached tips. He wore a purple studded leather jacket with similar brown leather pants and cowboy boots. On his forehead was a pair of goggles with tinted lenses and a light blue scarf around his neck. And around his chest and waist was belts that held pouches. Three on his front and two on the sides of his legs. "uhh... its yours?" The stranger gave me a warm smile "Yup, Valkyrie and I have been causing tubule for a long time now" He said while patting his bike.
"YOU!" I jumped into his arms out of fear from the surprise shout. "OH GOD DON'T LET KILL MEEEEE!" I yelled. I opened my eyes only to see Weiss with a mad look she wears to well. "I almost had a heart attack when your not behind me. And who is that?" She pointed to him. He just gave a confused and happy smile. "Well granddad said I'll find someone. But I don't think it will be like this..." He whispered to himself as I awkwardly got off him. "Uh who are you, exactly?" I can't help but feel stupid. "Owl" he simply said. "Now, same Question." Owl asked us. After giving him are names and where we from. Owl moved his neck to his back until we heard a crack from him. "Ruby and Weiss of beacon, now if you pardon me," he said while getting Valkyrie the motorcycle "I need to go and find my older bro." "You have family here?" I asked Owl. He move his hand to the back of his head before saying "Well, me, him, and two other friends were supposed to be here for the fights coming up here, but I came here for the races. They needed a four man team for the tournament from what I understand." "Wait a sec." Weiss jumped in "your participating" she said with a stern look. "uh yeah well-" "where is your weapon then?" Weiss demanded. Owl reached into one of the pouches and pulled out a silver ball about the size of a baseball. "Really?" She said with a flat tone. Owl gave us what I think a laugh "Nyo ho ho~. Want to find out?"
