A Fading firecracker.
Yang was walking through the halls of the new base. She was on her way to meet up with Torian for another training session. But when she walked passed a door, she heard voices coming from inside.
"You sure the intel is right?" It was Ozpin so Yang stopped to listen.
"Yes. Our spies managed to gather enough intel to confirm that Ruby Rose is at an smaller base east of the main one" Luke said and Yang got wide eyes when she heard that.
They had finally found Ruby and she is in a less guarded base. This would be the perfect chance to save her if they move quickly. But that idea was not on Luke's mind.
"But I'm afraid our forces are still recovering from the attack last week. We lost alot of people back there. So sending troops to save young Ruby is impossible" Luke said.
When Yang heard that she got angry. Very angry. They finally knew were Ruby was and they would not even take the chance to save her? To hell with that. Yang was not gonna waste this possible only chance to get her sister back.
If the others are in no shape for it, then she'll just go alone. Nothing would stop her from saving her sister. NOTHING!
Latter Yang stole an speedster and took off towards the place Luke said the base was located at. She had her upgraded weapons with her and the light armor provided to her and the rest.
After 2 hours of searching, she finally found the base. It was rather small, lickly they had not finished building it yet. That would make the search for Ruby alot easier. Yang hid her speedster and snuck inside the base. Luckily it was not alot of guards.
But at the same time it was strange, why would it be so little guards at a base? Something was not right here. Maybe the reports of Ruby being here was just a trap? Even so, Yang had come to far to turn back now. If there was even an 1 percent chance that Ruby was here, then Yang would find her.
Yang snuck around, knocking out as many guards she could without being spotted until she reached the main building. It was the most likely place for Ruby to be in. She got inside a looked around.
"Come on Ruby, where are you?" She whispered in desperation.
But then she heard a growl. Yang quickly turned around just in time for a grey fist to collide in her face, sending her flying through her window. Yang crashed on the ground, she rubbed her face as she stood up only to notice a large creature land in front of her.
Yang got wide eyes, she knew what that monster was. It was an dashade. Monsters that feeds on force users. But they were just as dangerous against people without force powers.
The large creature glared at her before taking something of his back that looked like a large mace "Fatal mistake coming here alone. Now you will die!".
Yang only glared back and took out Ember Celica "I came for my sister! And I am not leaving without her!".
The dashade was a little confused until it understood "You speak of my masters apprentice! You are to late, your sister belong to my master now. She is no longer the sister you once knew".
Yang felt her anger flare up "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?".
"I did nothing. My master made her see the truth, she is a sith now!" The dashade answered.
"GIVE HER BACK!" Yang screamed.
"She is not here! You wasted what was left of your life coming here. Now you will die at the hands of Khem Val" The monster declared before charging at her.
Yang charged too, ready to meet the monster's attack head on. Yang dodged a swing of the mace and hit Val several times in the side before ducking under another swing.
Yang hit the mace out of Val's hand, making it fly away. Val growled as Yang jumped back before both ran at eachother again preparing their fists.
Their fists clash and cause a shockwave that sends debris flying. Val tries punching Yang, but Yang counters the blow before using a move Torian taught her to throw the monster in to the ground.
Val catches Yang's punch and starts laying a beat down on her.
Val kicks Yang so hard she starts flying back and crashes through a wall. As Yang gets up she quickly blocks Val's dive kick. Val got of her and starts landing more hits and prepares another heavy punch which sends the young girl in to another wall.
"I've lived for over 10.000 years! You were a fool to even try to fight me!" Val said before delivering another hard punch that caused Yang to be buried in debris.
He roars and starts walking away, but turns around after Yang gets out of the debris. Yang is bruised and bleeding from the beatdown, but she stands up even more determined.
"I admit, that hurt...alot. You beat down my aura and cracked several of my ribs...but" Yang began before she flared up again her eyes glowing red "I HAVE NEVER BEEN STRONGER!" She smirked "You won the first round, now let's try this again!".
The two run and clash their fists in an intense punch that levels the whole are nearly even in their blows until Yang gains the upper hand and sends Val stumbling back. Yang proceeds to deliver several powerful punches on Val. He falls to his knees before Yang uppercuts him and then punched his square in the chest, sending him crashing in to an machine which explodes.
Yang was breathing hard. This was one of the toughest fights she has ever had. Her semblance was pushed to its limits. Believing she had won, Yang was about to resume her search, but then she heard heavy foot steps. The moment she turned Val punched her hard in the gut, making her cough out blood before taking another punch to the face that sent her rolling acroos the ground.
Val fell to his knee and coughed up some blood himself. He can belive a child pushed him this far. Had he taken even one more blow like that, it would have killed him. He stood back up and walked towards the beaten girl, picking up a sharp metal piece along the way.
Yang watched as the monster walked up to her, she could not move. Her body was to injured. She knew coming here alone was stupid, but she had to try and save her sister.
Yang let a weak smile appeared on her face "Sorry Ruby... I tried to save you... but now... I'm leaving the rest in your hands, little hero... I love you... my sister...".
The last thing Yang saw was Val raising the metal piece like a spear and then brought it down.
The sound of a stab echoed through the area.
And then... silence.

... Well...Tell me what you think.
