Unresolved Chapter 2 – Tatsumi and Yang

In the partially destroyed kingdom of Vale, some Grimm still rom the street. On one particular road, scavenging the area for food were two Ursas. Both on all fours in the middle of the street, looking for something. One looks up towards a nearby destroyed building and notices someone on the roof. The person was a teenage girl with long blond hair, she hits her fist together and is engulfed in flames. As the fire quick shrinks in size, it reveals that the girl's hands had grown yellow fur and black sharp nail. She had also gained cat-like ears and a tail.

The Ursa roars at the person as the now focuses on the person. The blond girl jumps down from the roof towards one of the Grimm. The Ursa she was falling towards stands on its back legs and tries to slash at the approaching target. However, the blond girl blocks the monsters attack with yellow gauntlet one arm and punches the Grimm Ursa in the forehead with the other. The impact cracks the white bone-like plated armor over the creatures face as the blond girl smiles. The yellow gauntlet on her other arm shoots a blast of fire at close range, blowing up the head of the creature. The Usra falls back dead as the blond girl jumps back, landing on her feet. She quickly position herself towards the other Grimm and takes an offensive stance.

The Ursa's eyes glow red, but do not match the shade of red in the blond girl's eyes. As the monster stands on its back legs, it is cut in half, vertically, by someone from behind the creature. The two halves of the Grimm fall to opposite sides, reveling to the blond girl who the person was.

There stood person in full metal armor and a cape, wheedling a poll with an enormous red spear head. The blond girl see the person and takes a more relaxed stance. She is engulfed by flames again, only now removing the features she had gained before.

The person in armor becomes surrounded by a gust of wind. When the wind calms down, it leaves behind a teenage boy with brown hair and a white trench coat. The hand that was holding the weapon is now holding a short sword. He puts the sword in a sheath on his back before smiling at the blond girl.

"Tatsumi, I could have taken both of them out." The blond woman says in a sassy tone.

"Yeah, but wanted to use my Imperil arm at full power while I am able to." The guy says as he begins walking down the road. The blond girl follows and remembers what the person meant by that statement. "That's right, Ozpin told us that we could keep these Imperial arms so long as we do not show others to the fact that they are magic."

"It is either that or give up the weapons entirely to him and that general. He says it is better that people do not know the power of these weapons, especially people who would use it for the wrong reasons." Tatsumi say in a regretful tone as he grabs the handle of his sword. "I am not giving Incursio, this weapons means too much for me to let go of."

"I am the same way, I am not going to give up this thing. Leone gave it to me so I could kill that woman that murdered my teammate." The blond girl says as she adjust her belt. After hearing that, Tatsumi stops walking.

"Yang, the person was called Esdeath who you killed, right?" Tatsumi says as the blond girl stops walking and looks back at him. She nods, remembering the name. He continues, "She was the Sadistic General of the Capital who killed hundreds of thousands of people. She was the strongest person in my world that everyone feared. And went after her and you killed her."

"I guess so, what is your point?" Yang says in a confused tone.

"How do you feel?" Tatsumi says, causing Yang to take a few seconds before answering.

"To be honest, I do not feel as good as I thought." Yang says looking down at the ground. She looks back up and sees the looks empathy on his face. The blond girl turns around and continues to walk with Tatsumi following.

"I have fought a lot of villains and killed a lot of Grimm. I have been in serious battles before, but none have ever ended with me kill another person." Yang says in a regretful tone, "I always thought that they were a bad person, who tried to kill me or my friends, then I would be justified. Still, I do not feel right."

"It is alright to feel that way now, it is naturally." Tatsumi says in a reassuring tone, "Sometimes you have to kill a person to save others. Or you have to kill a person for revenge or a job you were hired to do. The point is to remember the choice you made and never forget it. You can have regrets but it will not change what you did."

"I guess you are right." Yang says still processing what he said, "So you have killed people before?"

"Yes. Most of which were when I was a part of Night Raid." Tatsumi says, "I learned how cruel some people can be and how corrupt my world was. I do not know how the war will end without Night Raid or the Jaegers there."

"Would you ever go back to your world if you could?" Yang says as they walk. However, Tatsumi stops to think of what his answer was. Yang continues for a few steps until she notices that he stopped walking. She looks back to see him with a slight smile.

"I would like to go back to see my village again." Tatsumi says in a slightly cheery tone. Yang looks at the expression on his face and blushes a bit. Tatsumi looks at her with a bit of confusion, causing Yang to quickly turn around and resume walking down the road, only a little fast than before.

"Okay, did you have a girlfriend back there or something?" Yang says quickly, trying to hide her embarrassment, but regrets saying it. Tatsumi catches up to her, barley hearing what she said. "No, I do not have a girlfriend. Why do you ask?" He says in ignorance.

"No reason." Yang says quickly as she looks to the road ahead. Tatsumi turns to look down the road and sees a pack of Grimm Beowolves in the distance. Both notice the enemies and stop walking. Tatsumi draws his sword as Yang cracks her knuckles and smiles.

"I have no problem killing these things?" Yang says as she takes a fighting stance. Tatsumi looks over to her and smiles. Yang looks back at him.

"What?" She says.

"You just remind me a lot of Leone. She was also a strong person who liked to fight danger beast with her fists." Tatsumi says causing Yang to blush a little again. In the distance, one of the Beowolves sees them and howls towards the two teenagers. The other Grimm now notices the two and snarl.

"They see us now." Tatsumi says as he refocuses on the enemies. The pack starts rushing towards the two as Yang smiles back, "That just makes it more interesting."
