...

The Void. An endless space of nothingness. And yet, there is something there. Rifts, portals, breaches, whatever you call them, they exist. Acting as windows and doors to multiple worlds.

A mysterious person gazed upon one of these portals. In this world was a young girl saying goodbye to her mother as she headed out on a mission that would change her both their lives forever.

"We missed you at the meeting." said a second figure appearing behind the mysterious person.

"Ah, Light! I was expecting you. I feel like it is time for the plan to come into motion."

"Everyone has discussed the plan we all have agreed it is time. Toro has already has begun his part."

Multiple voices rang out from the portals.

"From the moment I first saw you, you've looked so sad. Your face shows so much pain."

"Earthquake, magnitude 7.1 detected."

"Welcome dragon rider."

"Tucker did it!"

"Cry some more!"

"Ruby, it's dinner time! come inside."

The two men just watched as time began to flow through the portals. Another man appeared behind the two. "Light, finally I found you. I need that white crystal from you so my part of the plan can start."

Light simply nodded and created a white dust crystal in his hand. "Use it well, Newell." Light said handing it over to Newell. Newell smiled and tossed the dust crystal into one of the portals. The Dust crystal landed in a large open desert near a long stretch of road.

"Let's hope the boys find it." He turned and disappeared. Light turned back to the mysterious man. "Now with that out of the way, I believe it's your turn." They both turned and faced a silver portal, watching as a fight began to unfold.

…

The sound of metal rang out across the landscape as two women battled each other for survival. One was dangerously nearing the limit of her power, while the other was only using ten percent of hers.

Teresa slammed her claymore against Priscilla, flinging her into a stone outcrop. Priscilla was about to get up but was stopped when the tip of Teresa's claymore was mere inches away from her face.

"I'll say this while I can still get through to you," Teresa said as she stared down Priscilla. "It should be obvious to you by now. Suppress your Yoma power at once and return to your human form. It's not too late. But it will be if you wait much longer."

Priscilla lowered her head and began to speak as her mind was being taken over by her powers. "Papa… Give back my papa… He was so kind to me. I loved him so much. And yet, before my very eyes… My dear papa ate the guts of my mama, my brother, and my sister."

She jumped up and over Teresa and rushed her. Their claymores slammed against each other letting out another loud clang.

"That's why I killed him. I crept up behind him while he was eating my sister's guts and cut off his head."

At that moment the muscles on her back erupted. Destroying the back part of her armor. Priscilla dropped her claymore and clutched herself as she tried to suppress her Yoki. But it was too late she had gone past her limit.

She let out a small whimper as she realized she couldn't change back. "I… I can't go back." Priscilla cried as she looked up to Teresa.

"Please, help me." She begged. "Please! I don't want to become a Yoma."

Teresa's eyes changed back to their normal silver color as she suppressed her power. "I'm sorry… but I can't help you." Teresa said with pity in her voice. "All I can do for you… is cut off your head before the change is complete."

Priscilla was stunned but she knew this was the only thing that could be done. She sobbed as she lowered her head. "Please. Go on. Do it. While I… still have a shred of humanity."

Teresa stood there for a moment. "All right then, I'll put you out of your misery," she said as she was about to raise her claymore to end Priscilla's life, but she paused as she heard Clare cry out her name. "Teresa! Watch out!" but the warning came too late as Priscilla grabbed her own claymore and sliced through Teresa's wrists. "Eh?" was all she got out as she looked up and saw Clare horrified. At that moment Priscilla sliced through her neck and she fell where she stood.

Clare… I'm sorry… were her last thoughts in this world.

…

Teresa opened her eyes and saw a vast white landscape devoid of anything except multiple portals leading to many different worlds.

"It wasn't a dream?... I did die…" Teresa said to herself. She clutched her aching heart as she fell to her knees. "Clare… forgive me." at that moment she felt a presence behind her and turned around meeting the mysterious man.

Dressed in the purple and white robes of the priests of the holy city Rabona. The mysterious man approached Teresa. She got up and fell into a defensive stance. Her claymore was nowhere in sight, but that didn't mean she was defenseless. "What do you want, stranger, speak," she demanded. The mysterious man merely raised his hands in surrender and spoke, "Peace Teresa, I mean you no harm."

"How do you know my name?"

"My name is Rabona, and I know many things. I have watched over your world since its creation. I also know why you killed those bandits." Teresa visibly flinched at the memory as he continued, "But right now is not the time for a trip through memory lane, now is it?"

Teresa was getting ticked off at this person in front of her as she rudely snapped at him. "Just tell me what you want, and even then I won't accept your proposal!"

"Oh? Not even if it's another chance in life too with Clare again? To start a family? To be where the Organization can't reach both you and Clare?"

"What do you mean?" she asked him with narrowed eyes as he shrugged his shoulders. "You know what I mean Teresa, I can grant you a chance to reunite with Clare and a new life for the both of you. Only if you complete a request of sorts."

Teresa thought of this before making her decision as she nodded and replied. "Very well and this request?" Rabona smiled as he spoke. "Oh no, it is not me requesting this from you." He raised a hand and pointed over her shoulder. "But they are." Teresa turned around and noticed two women standing together. The first was a claymore like herself. The second woman, however, had silver eyes but what surprised Teresa was her hair… Black with red highlights and turning a bit grey in some places.

…

[Play red like roses part one]

Teresa entered a golden portal and found herself in a snow-covered forest. She recalled what had happened. She died, was given an opportunity to have everything back and more. All she had to do was fulfill both of those women's request.

A request to protect and mentor the final descendant of the two women, but she didn't know where she should start searching for her. Teresa felt something hit her feet and she looked down. A bag and her claymore lay on the ground. As she bent down to pick them up, she felt movement in the tree line. She quickly looked up and surveyed the area.

She saw a red-cloaked figure, a girl if her eyes were telling her right, enter the large clearing. Multiple wolf-like creatures made of darkness stared down the young girl. Strange, Teresa thought as she sensed Yoki emitting from these strange creatures. Three of the creatures rushed the girl. When they got close enough, they pounced. In a flash of red rose petals, the girl disappeared. The three creatures landed, confused, searching for the girl. They all looked up to see the girl arching backward in mid-air. Teresa noticed the girl's eyes and hair. Her eyes were silver in color and her hair was black which turned red near the tips.

The girl grabbed her weapon off the lower part of her back and twirled around once in the air. Her weapon extended itself a bit and the girl took aim at one of the creatures who attacked her. The end of her weapon started to glow then let out a large 'BANG' sound. The head of one of the creatures exploded and it fell backward. The sound and the creature's head exploding startled Teresa. Never has she heard a sound like that or a weapon causing that much damage in just a split second done by a human before.

Two of the creatures noticed this and rushed the girl. She landed and quickly jumped over one of the creatures firing her weapon into the head of the creature. Using the recoil of her weapon, she did a flip and quickly fired again into the side of the other creature. She did a roll when she landed and popped up in front of another one. Raising her weapon, she fired into the side of the creature. The recoil flung her backward and she expertly did a perfect back roll. When she got up, she twirled her weapon around. And to Teresa's surprise, it transformed into a giant scythe.

One of the creatures growled at the girl, then rushed her. She swung the scythe at the creature but the blade of the scythe landed just behind it. The creature just growled at the young girl and stared into her silver eyes. The girl just smiled and pulled the trigger on the scythe. Another shot rang out and the recoil helped the girl pull her scythe through the creature. When both halves of the creature landed on the ground, Teresa noticed black smoke rising from the creature's body. When the smoke faded, the creature's body was gone.

Many of the creatures began to rush the girl. She twirled her scythe and stuck the tip of the blade into the ground. She carefully lined up the end of her scythe with the creatures and fired. Multiple creatures fell where they stood. One of the wolf-like creatures managed to get close to the girl and swung its claws at her. She simply jumped over the claws and fired into the head of the creature. It gave off a yelp and the girl was flung backward. After a few feet, the girl dug her scythe into the ground and landed on top of her weapon. Looking up she saw more of the creatures rush out of the forest, trying to attack her. She dodged another set of claws by flipping around her weapon. She then fired into another creature, using the recoil, back flipping into the creature she dogged. Her feet slammed into the creature, knocking it off its feet. The girl landed and swung her scythe at another creature, then fired. The recoil helped her back swing through one of them. She twirled her weapon, slicing through two more creatures. Her weapon then hooked around another creature's neck and she fired again, slicing through and decapitating it.

Teresa was quite impressed by how well the girl was handling herself. She watched the girl dodge a few strikes and hooked around the midsection of one of the creatures. Another creature charged at the girl, she simply fired her weapon and killing the creature and slicing through the other one. The top half of the creature she sliced in half slammed into one of the creatures, earning a little chuckle from Teresa. The girl jumped over another attack and back flipped over another that tried to pounce her. She rushed one of the creatures and cut off its arm below the elbow. She turned and sliced at the creature multiple times, managing to cut off the creature's leg as well. The girl swung her scythe and hooked it around the neck of another creature. It tried to attack her but she rolled under its claws and then jumped into its back. The creature let out a roar as she fired. The recoil of her weapon decapitated the creature, sending the girl into the air. Three of the wolf-like creatures jumped into the air to attack the girl. She fired into the air, sending her into one of the creatures. The girl landed on top of one of the creatures and slicing her scythe at its head. She aimed down and shot the creature to the ground. The recoil flung her into the air where she twirled around then fired her scythe again throwing herself at another wolf-like creature. She cut through the creature but as she landed, one of the creatures swung its claws at her, connecting with her scythe, sending her back a few feet.

Teresa sensed that the numbers of the creatures were dwindling. About ten to fifteen still were left in the clearing and there were none left in the surrounding forest. She watched as the girl stared down her opponents. The girl pressed a button and a small box fell off the scythe. She reached into one of her pockets and pulled out another box, but with four arrows pointing inwards towards a center circle on the side of it. She calmly stuck the box into her weapon and aimed it behind her. This time when she fired her weapon, the recoil was ten times stronger and she rushed into the group of creatures. As she ran by a few of the wolf-like creatures, she swung the weapon at them cutting a few down. She jumped, turned her scythe, and then fired, creating a Ferris wheel of death cutting down many of her enemies. Each time she fired her weapon, she got faster. Slicing and dicing the creatures, the girl cut down everything that was in front of her. Limbs, head and small pieces of metal flew through the air. When the last creature fell she shot it causing her to do a back flip and land doing a quick pose. A small shower of small metal objects fell around the girl as she smiled.

[end red like roses part 1]

Teresa was impressed. She handled herself well alone and had plenty of talent. Not bad… Teresa thought, at that moment she noticed a surviving creature nearing the girl. Acting quickly, she rushed out of the treeline and killed the creature with her claymore. The young girl noticed her and thanked her savior.

"Thanks! I'm Ruby Rose." Ruby said holding up her hand to Teresa.

Ruby Rose… Teresa thought as a memory surged forward with a voice saying.

Please protect little Ruby, She is all we have left.

So this is the girl she was looking for, she faintly smiled and replied "my name is Teresa." as she faced the young girl and shook her hand. Ruby's eyes widened when she saw the color of Teresa's eyes… silver.

"You… have silver eyes like me... Mom and grandma…" she said the last two sadly. Teresa raised an eyebrow at this, So this is Ruby Rose? Well, now I see the resemblance, such a naive and innocent young girl, just like… her thought was stopped as Clare's face appeared in her mind.

"Umm… are you okay?" Ruby asked.

"Yes, I'm fine just a bit tired is all, traveling for so long is such a tiresome thing."

"Well, you could stay with me and my family. My house is not too far from where we are now."

"It's fine, I think an inn or a-"

"No! You can't!" Ruby said surprising Teresa then looked embarrassed. "I-I mean uhh. I insist you can stay at my home… and you know," she said pleadingly then looked down at her feet. Teresa smiled and placed her hand at the top of Ruby's head the same way she did to Clare.

"Fine, I guess you win, lead the way then," she said.

"Follow me then," Ruby said leading Teresa out of the clearing on a well-worn dirt path through the snow-covered forest.

Emilia, I promise you I will protect your granddaughter and Myra, I'll teach and mentor her the ways of a claymore for you. Clare soon… soon we'll be together again.
