Chapter 3: A Glowing Star
She just sit there in silence, shock and amusement evident on her face
bianca prisma, a member of team brir, her day took a interesting spin when she bump into a interesting person
she never seen anyone shove so much ramen down their stomach, how does he do that?
"are you sure it's healthy to ate that many?" it's his twenty bowl, she almost fear for her wallet but then again, she is quite loaded
he chuckle, feeling a little embarrassed about his bottomless pit he call stomach "sorry"
bianca shake her head, giggling, they talk over some things and she couldn't help but find his quirks are endearing
"it's fine" she Chuckle, drinking her soda "i did say it be my treat"
he is quite a mysterious guy, just show up with injuries like that, she can't help but feel intrigued
she never really get where he's from but she wouldn't about to push it, they talk about small thing, likes, dislikes, hobby, bianca isn't actually a people person but she find herself talking with him without feeling uncomfortable
he is that much cheerful, despite his grievous wound, he didn't let that deter him from being talkative
she like that, it mean he has a bright personality
"so what are you going to do after this?" she twirl her drink with her straw, watching him reverently
"hmm" he look at her with half lidded eyes "don't know, might wanna find my place in the world" he smile at her
she return the gesture, her eyes lingering on the scars he barred, dear oum, he has a lot of scars, all over his body, big or small, he has all of them
cut, burn, puncture, she not a medic but even she can tell what he been through by the scars, she couldn't help by respect him for that, being a huntress for quite some time, even she have scars but not alot like his
scars tell story of what person goes through, what they willing to do to survive, to fight in a battle
that make him all the better, Being through so much and still came out as bright person
her hand twiddle together, she want to get to know him more but she have her duty to do, she sigh and pay for his ramen, she smile at him and put some lien on the table "buy yourself some clothes will you?"
his eyes brightened, he smile at her gratefully "thank you bianca, for all this"
"it's fine" she Chuckle, before she walk away, she smirk, kissing his cheek "see ya soon handsome" with that, she walk away, swaying her hip teasingly
he froze, holding his cheek, his eyes stay on her swaying her ass before Chuckling "what a woman"
he stay there for a moment, contemplating his next move, he feel bad for lying to her but his past experience make him do it, he in some place he don't know about, the next thing he need is to find out on how to get home ... which is ...
he clutch his head, groaning, every time he try to remember his home name, his head start pulsing like crazy
he hop off the stool, taking the lien on the way, the pulsing starting to get crazy, to the point of hearing like a drum beating beside his ear
suddenly, he felt a urge to raise his palm and the next thing he knew, a hammer flew into his hand
he look at it in surprise before a look of recognition on his face, he smile "mjolnir" he chuckled and strap it to his side
a hammer that was belong to his father, he had his own hammer but ever since his father ... his father
a strong pulsing in his head almost make him faint, kneeling down on one knee, he growl as he clutch his head
he fail to see the skies darkened, almost immediately, went from sunny to dark, he too busy clutching his head when the sky release a few of their missile
also known as thunderbolt
cordovin sat on her chair, sipping her coffee, despite her ... unprofessional behavior earlier, she let if go as a exception, that huge slab of metal really did a number on her patience
she thought up of a excuse to report for general ironwood, at first she thought it would be best to left out the hammer part but she denied the idea, omission is something she never do and she will never start it
but then again, who will believe her when she tell the general that she use every mobile vehicle in her resources to move a damn hammer
it's absurd, crazy even, he might even sent her to a doctor for sanity check, if that happen, her reputation would be dragged through the muck
a shame she didn't thought of taking a video before the hammer flew off to god know where, in her rank, there are no gossiper either, no one took a video because they been trained to keep military affair to themselves, a shame
She sigh, to be honest, she doesn't have the heart to lie either, her strict military upbringing has honed her to be honest to her general
As she think up her report, multiple lightning strikes down, a loud cracking sound, her window shatter from the impact, she spit out her coffee and duck for cover
As shards of glass fly around, she can see violent wind scattering her paper around, she growl, cursing the skies
when the wind died down, she get out of the table and went to her broken window, her jaw drop when she see all of her airship being destroy, only three left unharmed, even the one in the hanger didn't make it as those were blown to fucking bits
somehow, her guts telling her that it was that damn hammer making all of this
shaking in rage, she gave the skies, which miraculously turn back sunny, a middle finger
"oh fuck off, you fucking tw-"
Pyrrha morning have been hectic to say the least, she woke up, have a nice bath, having breakfast with her mother and made her way to the hospital to check up on the guy
sure, she didn't owe the guy anything, it's the opposite but she would love to get to know him
how did he get those wound, how did he fall from the skies, is he even human to survive all that, is he some part of the colorful light from the night sky
she have heard the absurd stories from people all the time, most of it exaggerating of course but this time she witness it from her own two eyes and her curiosity demand her to know all this
it is also why she never told anyone how she find him, they most likely brush off her explanation, so she lied and say she found him among the fallen building, which wasn't far-fetched as a lot of building went down last night
they accept her lie, which make her feel bad, pyrrha rarely lie in her life, only on small occasion, whenever she is swarm by her fan and they ask some personal question
however, when she made it to the hospital, the nurse had informed her that he went missing, they had no idea if someone move him or he wakes up and walk out on his own, the nurse had to ask her to find him since they got their hand full at the moment, a lot of people got hurt
pyrrha nodded, it wasn't like she gonna refuse anyway, wherever he is, he ain't completely heal yet, so with that, she speed off, circling around the city in hopes of spotting him
she try her luck with the hunters, asking them if they seen him, they didn't, as of right now, all of the hunter, atlas soldier are working overtime, dealing with fallout of last night, too many faces to remember one
she then ask the city guard, who mainly guarding the city gates, to see if he walk out of the city on his own, they also didn't know, no one head outside or in, it's been a chaos ever since that stray lights hit them
then that means he is still in the city, the only way to do this is the old fashion way then, she ran around the city, in hopes she can meet him by chance, easy said then done
argus is not really a big city but a city no less, running around finding one person also prove to be difficult even for her, it took her about an hour and a half before she came full circle
she decided to take a break, her clothes stuck to her skin due to how sweaty she is, her hair damp against her face, she tiredly walk through the street, heading toward her favorite cafe
as she was about to turn around the corner, she bump into someone, muscle aching and tired as she was, she easily fall to her butt
groaning, she look up and there he was, although with a different look
he wore a tank top, a baggy black pants and high cuff boots, a red sash tied around the waist to keep the pant secure, he also wore a somekind of headband mix with eyepatch (1)
he chuckled, his voice is deep and gruff, as if he been woken up from a nap "seems like i can't stop bumping into beautiful girls today"
her cheeks reddened from that, when he offer his left hand and she took it graciously, for someone who is recovering from fatal wounds, he is surprisingly strong enough to raise her up to her feet with one hand
all in all, she found him
after recovering from a sure kill headache, he immediately made way for a clothing store, which prove to be more challenging than he like
because of what happen yesterday, most shop either broke down or the owner are busy checking on their family, he had to search for about an hour until he stumble on one
it didn't have any orange clothes which is a bit of a disappointment so he decide to go all black, after he done with his thing, he walk off to think up his next move
apparently, a meteor shower happen last night and the people are terrified, he was a bit confused as to why but eavesdropping on a couple of gossiping ladies down the street, he found out that meteor shower is a first thing happen here
which makes him worry, the technology around the place are far more advance than back home but no meteor shower, that rules out time travel possibility
a different dimension then, no biggie, he done this before, a lot of time
his head pulse in pain, he can't seem to remember the name of his homes, it's like something is blocking him from saying it
he groan, whatever it is, he deal with it later, he need to find a libary now
as he rush to find a libary, he bump into a girl who is quite beautiful in his eyes, he groan, either his luck is shitty for always bumping into people or really good because he always bump into beautiful girl
her red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet. She also wore light-green eyeshadow around the far upper corners of her green eyes. She was tall and quite muscular, a trait he like in girls
he chuckled, his luck is really weird sometimes "seems like i can't stop bumping into beautiful girls today"
he offer her a hand and effortlessly lift her up "sorry about that"
the girl open her mouth before closing, seemingly unsure on something, he wait for her to said something "i-it's you"
"uh, me?"
"y-yeah, the one who fall from the sky" she stammered, a slight blush at her own embarrassed state to speak
he raise a brow, he didn't remember anything about falling, so he had to tread this carefully, he chuckled "really, i did?"
pyrrha nodded, her expression look embarrassed "y-yeah, you fall from the sky and landed there"
he look at the direction she pointed and he deadpanned, that is a huge crater he made, part of the city got close down is his fault, so he didn't have room to complaint
"why did you ran away from the hospital?" he turn his gaze back at the girl, who apparently save him "you not all patch up yet"
he mused, she really did save him and didn't tell a soul by the looks of it, if she did, people would be swarming him by now but so far, he can tell no one follow him
he shiver, if anyone else found him, they probably want to question him on how he can heal so fast, he really don't know how to answer that beside bullshiting his way out
"why don't i tell you along the way" he smile, he think up a excuse later when he learn more of this place, he offer his hand to her "name's naruto"
James Ironwood, the general of atlas, a man of iron will, if there's a problem, he will solve it with all of atlas might, anything can be solve with swift, precise decision
but this ... he didn't even know what to call it, he find himself in a conundrum and for once, he can't think up a solution
the winter maiden, bless her heart, when she young, she have accept the responsibility and the burden dutifully and do her best to stay discreet, she carry her teenager years until now, no family or lovers, just duty
Ironwood respect her greatly, even awarding her a few medal of honor for carrying a burden no woman willingly take, to guard it from sinister hand
as result, her old age has render her immobile and she mostly in her hospital bed in atlas most secure building
but these days, she is getting more and more youthful, as if times rewind itself for her, he thought it was his stress playing tricks on him but after a few hours, she has return to her youth, in a eighteen year old body
he immediately have his best and most trusted doctor to check on her, they didn't find anything wrong with her, she is healthy as ever, back in her young body but with the wisdom of her experience mind
ironwood sat in his office, in front of her is the very much winter maid, with turquoise hair color and aqua eyeshadow, she didn't look like the woman james used to see
she would hop on chair, smiling like a loon, humming a song, stark contrast to her wisened personality he come to know
james interlaced his finger together, taking a deep breath "fria ... are you alright"
"hmm?" fria look up, grinning at him cheekily "i'm fine dear, in fact, better than fine" she grin flirtatiously "i can ram a man from tonight to tuesday"
Ironwood sigh, palming his face, he only met fria when she hit her forty, by the time, she had wisened up but ...
... he never thought her teenage year would be so ... vulgar and promiscuous
Winter, who has been standing beside him loyally, frowned slightly in discomfort. She had bonded with Friar when she was an old woman; looking up to her as the woman who would carry her duty with such loyalty. But even she was shocked when she discovered that Friar was very ... bold in her teenage years.
Winter blushes slightly when Fria makes a scissoring motion at her hand
James sighed, closing his eyes, he hoped his friend Ozpin would have better luck with his maiden than him.
Ozpin really hope james have some clue about his winter maiden ... because amber is acting pretty weirdly
There she is, sitting in front of him, grinning and daydreaming. Her concentration is elsewhere.
Not even when Glynda clears her throat, the two of them are friends. Amber would pay attention to Glynda whenever she asks for it, but this time, not even she can snap Amber back to reality.
According to Qrow, she's been like this for quite some time and will snap out of it when she's hungry. Qrow had to carry her all the way to Beacon Academy.
amber had a quite of a stomach, it be a while for her to snap out of her daydreaming
ozpin sigh, he really need some good news now, he really hope fate would be kind to him today
Menagerie, an island inhabited by faunus, a land given by humans as a reward for their efforts in the Great War
But it was a half-assed reward, as two-thirds of the landmass is just desert full of prowling Grimm.
Some of the Faunus accepted it, as they wanted a way out of dominant human civilization; however, the Faunus who fought in the war saw it as an insult, as the old saying goes: "Animals live in the jungle."
But that changed today, as the desert part of the island ... has forests, nobody knows how it happened; it just did. One of the guards patrolling the area separating the jungle and the desert saw all the green.
Kali belladonna, wife to chieftain of kuo kuana, giggle as her husband talking joyously at the sight before them, it's a breathtaking sight, to see the once land full of sand, ravage by grimm now full of life, not even a single grimm sighted
It's a miracle, a work of God, many said it was caused by the light show in the night sky last night, given how divine it looked, she certainly believed it
It's not just that; they even discovered a cave filled with dust, like a huge ton of dust. It could probably supply an army for a year and still have more.
She felt giddy at the prospect, and they could start their own business to make a ton of money and further support the civilization of the island and advance it. This could make Kuo-Kuana a kingdom of its own.
News has already spread like wildfire among the people. Soon, their kind will come back to the island, no longer having to fear discrimination.
she frown slightly, these news could also mean trouble, it could attract the wrong kind of attention, the white fang, if they knew a huge dust load appear suddenly on the island, they would no doubt try to use it and justified it as a self defense for our kind, when what they really use is to fuel more weapon for war
Or worse, the Schnee Company would try to make a base here and steal the resources; she didn't even know which was worse: her own kind using it for war or the Schnee's greed.
Her husband picked her up in a hug and twirled her around. She smiled and laughed along with him. Well, she could discuss it with him later. Now she just needs to find her daughter and bring her the good news.
Calm before the storm, they say.
Anastasia smiled as she stirred the dinner, her daughter laughed in the background as she chatted with the boy she saved.
She was pleasantly surprised when she saw her daughter come home with the boy she had saved, given his injuries, she honestly thought he wouldn't wake up at least for a few months.
Anastasia found herself Liking the boy, he is so cheerful and full of life despite his injuries, she can respect that her family respect strength more than anything else, not just power but the strength to move on from anything life throw at you
She put the food on the table and called out, "Kids, food's ready!"
the two didn't heard her at first, so engrossed in their conversation, she giggle, shaking her head slightly, she sat down and wait for them, they eventually came to the kitchen and sat down
still immersed in their conversation as they eat, Anastasia smile as she watch her daughter laugh at his jokes, grinning when she slap his arm when he told them about his day in academy
As a mother, she can tell how smitten her daughter is with the boy. Not that she could blame her; Naruto is a charming boy. If she were ten years younger, she would be quite taken with him too.
"so" she started, coughing slightly to get their attention "naruto, where you will be staying?"
He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. She noticed he did this whenever he was nervous or sheepish, an endearing trait to have. "I actually don't know Miss Nikos. I might stay at the hotel."
"you can stay with us" pyrrha blurted out, blushing when he look at her in surprise and her mother teasing look "i-i mean, we got a spare room, you can have one until you get your own place"
"Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to intrude." He also blushed slightly, feeling shy, and his daughter looked like she wanted to convince him but didn't know what to say.
Anastasia chuckled, finding it cute. She decided to lend her daughter a helping hand. "It's fine, Naruto. You can stay with us for the time being. We don't mind."
he blush slightly, grinning at her, Anastasia could feel heart skip a beat before she stamp it out with smile, gracious, this boy is really charming with his smile
"thank you, miss nikos, i would love that"
"You can call me mother now if you stay with us."
"mother"
Anastasia laugh, making the two teenager blush, oh she look foward to his stay here
And That's a Wrap, i'm gonna need some rest so bye
