For all of you who are reading this message now, this text has been written after a decision I made to overhaul a majority of this book.
At the time I'm writing this, I find it lacking to my standards, and now I am currently writing it anew.
I hope yall will like this newer version.
Ruby slowly opened her eyes to find herself sprawled out on her childhood bed, she had one of Yang's biggest shirts covering her upper body and a...sewn together towel to cover her lower body?
'Well...it's better than having to be nude." Ruby sighed loudly while she moved around on her bed, before stopping after realizing that she was far too big to really fit on it though.
She could hear the wooden bedframe creaking horribly under her two ton weight, how it was not crushed already was beyond her. The thick and sharp dorsal plates on her back had already ripped through large sections of the sheets.
'Dad ang Yang must have carried me in after I had passed out outside...' Ruby reasoned while looking around her childhood room.
Her eyes stopped over at the wooden Grimm carvings on her bookshelf that her dad made for her as a kid. She used to run her hand over them any time she had a nightmare, feeling the grainy texture of the carved pine wood.
It was an act to tell herself that monsters exist in Remnant, the faces and abilities of them ever changing as the Grimm grew stronger. Now she was stronger than any Grimm ever made, she had even killed an army of them after creating a Tsunami from just standing up in her other form.
That other form of hers was strong, too strong. The horde of Grimm she took out so easily could've leveled Vale in very little time, she could level Vale in even less time...Ruby felt like a bona fide monster.
Those feelings were only compounded when the mirror she had on her dresser showed her what her human form looked like for the first time without using her sonar/radar. Terrifying wasn't even enough to describe what she looked like, the terror it would unintentionally inspire was worse than any Grimm she had heard of.
Speaking of Grimm...was there any of them that could hurt her? Could one of them even kill her? A single grey colored tear leaked from Ruby's left eye, rolling down to her chin and falling onto the sheets below.
She felt alone, trapped, scared. She didn't feel like herself anymore, not with what had happened to her, changed her. Was she losing herself piece by piece? Slowly crumbling away until only a maddened beast was all that was left?
A maddened beast who lashed out at everything in sight, hoping that something would come along and finally kill it. Ruby gripped her head in her clawed hands, curling up into a tight ball on the bed she had slept on for so many years.
No one can understand her suffering. The constant never-ceasing agony she was in, her rapidly crumbling mental state, the burning atomic energy coursing through her veins.
Who would ever know who she was? They couldn't when all they saw was the monster she had become.
Maybe there would be a Grimm that can kill her eventually? Release her from her hell? It was a entirely possible scenario after all, there were new Grimm species being found all the time. Maybe it could happen if a Grimm was exposed to radiation like she was...that in of itself was a blood chilling thought.
As much as she wanted sweet release, she did not want it at the cost of the lives of so many innocents.
'Luckily I killed every Grimm on that island with the firestorm I made...at least I hope I did.' Ruby shuddered violently at the thought of the Grimm mutating from radiation enough to threaten her.
If they could threaten her...it meant they were classified as a threat to the entire world.
Ruby herself would be classified as threat to Existence because of her ability to evolve endlessly, adapting to any kind of situation until she was un-killable. Eventually she would overcome anything that existed in the universe, any type of being or problem given time.
Soon after that stream of thoughts had ended, Ruby felt her body start to slowly heat up. Panic laced through her and the amount of heat now bubbling in her body was like being slow cooked over a hot burner.
The feeling started at her brain, creeping along through the rest of her body with some sort of intent. Down it went from her head, spreading through her arms, legs, and heart. Once it had reached her heart, the mutated organ began pumping irradiated blood through her body at an extremely fast rate.
|Badump! Badump! Badump!| Ruby's heartrate shoot through the roof while her body heated up even faster, her blood cells splitting and attaching themselves to her skeleton. The molesting feeling of ghostly insects crawling over her skeleton made her writhe on her bed, her dorsal plates cutting the sheets and headboard like butter.
Ruby clamped her jagged teeth onto her tongue while feeling the sharp fangs cut her tongue, the pain fueling her desire to stay silent, though, eventually it became too much for her to handle silently.
"ARRRRRGAAAAGH!" Ruby shrieked in torture from the unnatural contortion of her skeleton, her cells remolding the bones to be denser than ever before.
Cracking and loud crunches echoed through her room while she struggled to stay still, the white hot flashes of torment lancing through her without care. Moving made it so much worse, yet all she could do was move and scream until the evolutionary fit subsided.
Tai and Yang heard Ruby screaming from downstairs on the couch where they had been waiting for Ruby to wake up to explain what had happened to her. They knew nothing about what happened to Ruby, the only one who did, was Ruby herself.
All of that could wait, however, because of Ruby's terrible screeches that they could hear. Casting a scared looked at each other, the two rushed up the stairs in a hurry to reach Ruby.
Clambering up the stairs, they came to Ruby's room on the second story, her unnerving animalistic howls coming from behind the door. There was also loud popping noises came from behind the door, the noises were unsettling to hear since they sounded like a bone snapping under immense pressure.
"RUBY/ROSEBUD!" Both Tai and Yang shouted in alarm for Ruby when they threw open the door to her bedroom.
Inside they could see Ruby was thrashing and wailing on her bed while her body contorted in horrific and unnatural ways.
The bones and muscles in her body were contorting in every direction, frankly, it looked like a scene straight out of a old body horror movie. Ruby's spine bent sideways in a grotesque manner before righting itself with a loud |SNAP!|, her ribs nearly went through her skin when they jutted out from splintering themselves.
Almost every bone in her body cracked or ruptured from the stress they were under, causing considerable agony to the mutated girl who was enduring it the best she could. Another loud |Crraack!| sounded when her arms bent backwards and then slammed back into place, Ruby held her hands to her face after they had healed from the torture.
It broke Yang and Tai's heart to see Ruby suffering so much, it felt even worse knowing there was nothing they even could do but watch Ruby go through her evolutionary bout. No amount of painkillers or Morphine would help something like this, no medicine would really...
Black blood spewed from Ruby's mouth as she howled like a dying animal, her body healed every injury from her evolution at a lightning quick pace. Her claws grabbed her ribs and dug into her skin and through it as more irradiated blood seeped out of the wound.
'STOOOP! PLEASE STOP!' Ruby wailed in her mind as her breath came in great shuddering gasps, yet she couldn't stop the evolution even if she wanted to.
She could control some of her evolutions, but this was one of the ones she couldn't. It felt she was dying all over again, her mind having the traumatic flashbacks of yesterday, the day she lost almost everything she was before.
That brilliant flash of light greater than the sun, then the void that had snuffed out all of her senses and effectively killed Ruby Rose. The old Ruby was gone, never to return because of that single event, the event that killed her and had a broken shell replace her.
"PLEASE! JUST LET ME DIE! I CAN'T ENDURE THIS EVERY DAY! LET ME GO!" Ruby howled loudly while trying to breath, her ribs constraining her lungs and restricting how much she could breath.
The cracking and popping of Ruby's skeleton echoed through the room, while black bloody tears ran down her face in waves of nightmare inducing viscosity. Those silver eyes that had been so bright and happy before, were now dull, lusterless, and bloodshot.
Steam rolled off of her body in superheated waves from her blood trying to thermoregulate her body, the heated swath of air rapidly warming the entirety of the room. Sweat poured down Tai's face while Yang tried to reach out to Ruby through the heatwave.
Ruby's tail slammed against the bed in loud merciless |BANG!|'s, the house shuddered slightly from every colossal crash produced by a two ton immortal girl. Yang tried to get closer to Ruby to comfort her, but the steam rolling off of Ruby made it near impossible to do so without injury.
"AAARGAAHAAAA!" Ruby shrieked as she rolled off her bed onto the floor, the weight of body sent vibrations through the house.
The girl's body finally became still after such a vicious bout of injury and agony, her breath ragged and raspy. Her skeleton felt stronger than before, the cells that had clung to her bones settling into an extra layer of armor to protect her with.
With this evolution, her human form could now have a six story building dropped on her without injury thanks to her improved bone density and armor layer. Was it worth the price to Ruby? No, it certainly was not.
She wanted to go back to the days where the only thing she needed to worry about was her mother finding her stealing from the cookie jar. Where she had no worries about who or what she was...
Now though, she was a freak, a mistake made by man and stronger than anyone on Remnant. What was her body even like? What was her DNA even like? Did she even have any of her mother or father's DNA left in her body? Was she still even Ruby Rose or just the cracked shell of her?
Her irradiated blood slowly cooled down, the steam surrounding her lessening by a fraction each second. Every wound she had sustained during her bout had healed, for her regeneration factor was almost impossibly high.
It was likely to do with her ever-morphing genetic code, giving her abilities most people would only ever dream of having as their semblance. The price she payed for such things was far too terrible to be worth it in the end.
Those abilities would expand more and become more powerful with each evolution, slowly progressing her into a higher life form. Currently, her regeneration speed and physical strength put even the most powerful Grimm to shame. She was, after all, a higher lifeform already compared to almost everything on this planet, that is.
"Dad! Yang! It hurts! Why does it hurt so much?! Please just let my suffering end, just kill me!" Ruby sobbed while she laid unmoving on the floor, her body still wracked with pain and she no longer had enough mental strength to move anymore.
Radiant and dangerous purple light shimmered off of Ruby's dorsal plates and filled the room, casting long dark shadows on the wooden walls. A terrible light that spread her atomic energy into her surroundings as she lost her ability to control it with her fracturing mental state.
She had to have near perfect control of the radiation she emitted constantly, otherwise if it slipped too far and the energy flooded the area, people around her would die within mere minutes.
A constant threat to those around her, that's what she had become...
Tai stumbled and grabbed onto the doorframe, trying to keep himself upright even while the atomic energy weakened him. Golden light sprang into life around him, his aura trying to prevent damage to his body, yet it was being pushed back bit by bit.
Yang was slightly better off thanks to being younger, but her face was pale and she felt like puking her guts out. Her skin was turning red, she was slowly being cooked by the atomic energy.
Sweat tinged with red ran off the duo as they tried to get closer to Ruby. Tai was the first to fall to the ground as a small trickle of blood ran down his open mouth, his eyes foggy from the radiation affecting his brain. Yang however managed to reach Ruby and hugged her huge baby sister, it was a bad idea as her condition worsened almost immediately, but Yang did not care one bit.
The radiation Ruby emitted could bypass aura, the former was the stronger of the two energies when they clashed together. Aura could only heal the effects once the Radiation had left the area.
"Ruby! You're killing us! Get it together!" Yang weakly ordered with Ruby sluggishly lifted her head to see Yang's condition.
Panicking, Ruby sucked all of radiation she released back into her body to avoid killing her present family. Ruby used all of her remaining strength to sit up and hold Yang, her sisters skin was ashen pale beneath her gold colored aura.
Crimson blood traced a line from her mouth and eyes, running down the older girl's chin. Immeasurable guilt wracked Ruby's body with what she had done, if even unintentionally, she had hurt the ones she loved and loved her.
"Yang? Do you hate me? For poisoning you? For dying before you did? For replacing Ruby Rose with my broken shell? Tell me you hate me, please...I can't handle this anymore." Ruby's grey colored tears fell from her silver eyes and down to her chin, where the tears fell and splashed onto Yang's face.
Yang lifted her right hand to Ruby's cheek, even as she felt weaker from doing so, but Ruby needed her right now. Her baby sister was stewing in self-hatred, misery, and pain.
Her hand gently brushed Ruby's cheek, caressing it like their mother had done for them as kids, running a thumb under Ruby's right eye to wipe away the tears. Ruby breath hitched and her eyes widened, her hands rushing to hold Yang's hand to her face.
"Ruby...I could never hate you. I can get mad or annoyed at you, sure...but never hate you. I can still remember the day mom brought you back home...you were laughing as I smiled at you..." A soft and weak chuckle came from Yang's lips, a bit more blood escaping them with the chuckle.
"We love you. Dad, Uncle Qrow, mom, and I all love you. Maybe we won't be with you forever in the flesh, but we'll always be with you no matter what. Remember that, Rubes..." Yang smiled at Ruby before falling unconscious, her golden aura covering her to begin healing the radiation poisoning she had received.
Ruby sobbed as she set Yang down on her bed, then a smile grew on her face when she Yang's words repeated in her mind, soothing and comforting her anguished spirit. They would still love her, even as she was now.
They would be with her, even after they were long gone, living in her memories as immortals like her. For now, she wanted to leave them alone, to be by herself and away from them.
She had hurt her family a mere morning after being reunited with them, even if she didn't mean to. She had to get away from them until their aura heals them. Maybe she could go to Vale to let them have enough time to heal and order some custom clothes for her...mutated body.
'I can swim to Vale instead of going on a Bullhead. Who knows what people would do to me on a bullhead out of fear.' Ruby shivered at that thought as she laid her father down the couch downstairs, both his and Yang's aura were slowly purging the radiation poisoning out of their systems.
'I'll leave a note telling them where I went.' Ruby grabbed a sticky note off the counter and wrote down her plan.
Heading to Vale to let you two heal off the poisoning and be alone for a bit...
After leaving the note, Ruby walked out of the front door of her family home and started heading towards the beach. She could survive underwater indefinitely thanks to the gills on her neck, her large body and heavy tail also made swimming easier.
It took a little more than twenty minutes to reach the beach closest to her home thanks to height and stride. Crossing the sand dunes where her other form had landed yesterday and entering the water, cold tides lapped at her feet as she walked into the water. The cold bothered her little as she reached the end of the shallows.
Sinking forward and submerging her body, Ruby began swimming while using her tail similar to a Alligator, the strong muscles in it pushing her forward in the tide. With every stroke of her tail, Ruby was pushed further forward in the giant blue ocean that encircled most of Remnant.
Oxygen was pulled into her body as she swam through her gills, making her even faster as she gained strength from the air she need. Her clawed hands and feet pushed her forward as she swam with her tail.
'I think I'll head to that dust shop I used to frequent in Vale, to try and bring back happy memories...' Ruby smiled slightly as she remembered ordering parts for Crescent Rose there and pushed herself through a giant wave.
Getting past the continental shelf was when the tides were getting rougher, with Ruby having to use more effort to move forward. She knew where to go as Patch was only a hour west from Vale by boat, and using the sun as a guide made it easier. There was also the fact she was cruising faster than most boats could at 48 knots.
Being a semi aquatic creature was helping her currently, even if she was an abomination in both her own mind and other peoples. Several whales and sharks had swum close to her a few times, the sharks didn't attack her because of her size being as big as theirs.
The whales however did sing to her oddly enough, a series of clicks and whistles that Ruby could partially understand. It was a cool experience for Ruby to hear as she made her way to her destination. At one point a pod of dolphins did tricks by jumping over her, they were a little less than the same size as her too.
She laughed when one belly flopped off to her right, spraying her with a large amount of cold saltwater. Feeling a bit like her old self, watching animals have fun and be fools. They quickly left when she vented some of her excess energy, making Ruby's lipless mouth turn into a pout for a while.
Another twenty minutes of swimming after the dolphins left, Ruby reached the sea wall of Vale's docks. It was a barrier between Vale and the ocean, serving as a defense against aquatic Grimm or ships that lost their rudder and were about to crash.
Many different people were walking along the sea wall's boardwalk going about their day, using the boardwalk to cross between sections of the city. That was until one lady screeched as looked down at the water below the sea wall.
Ruby's dorsal plates had breached the water as she headed to the nearest boat ramp, many people stopped and stared at her when her dorsal plates shimmered purple. Ruby's sheer size had some people freaking out, screaming to other about a monster in the water.
"The hell is that?!" One human woman yelled as Ruby heard her with her advanced hearing, a frown appearing on her face from being called "that".
"I don't know, it's damn weird though! Somebody call the city guard!" The man beside her answered back to the girl, Ruby grew a tad bit fearful when he had mentioned the city guard.
Lifting her head out of the water, the reactions of the people who could see her were immediate. Screams of shock and panic echoed out across the docks when Ruby's head appeared, wide unbelieving eyes stared at her and irritated her immensely.
"THAT'S A FUCKING PERSON?!" Several people screeched in fear and some with disgust, while Ruby finally reached a wooden dock to the left of the sea wall.
Pulling herself out of the water, the saltwater rolled off of her enormous body in waves. Ruby heated up her body to evaporate all the water clinging to her, steam rolled off her body in blasts of superheated air that the people on the sea wall felt.
She felt really annoyed now. She was already upset at herself for hurting her family, now people were being rude and harsh to her. While she couldn't blame them with how she looked, that didn't stop her from getting agitated from it.
"Yes, I'm a fucking person! Now do you mind shutting up?! I just swam here from Patch!" Ruby shouted as she climbed the ramp from the docks that lead up to the seawall.
People quickly scrambled to move out of the way for her, she was after all eight feet tall and nearly twenty feet in length. Her tail moved around by itself behind her as she walked away from the seawall towards downtown Vale, she heard the many whispers and stares following her.
A few camera flashes went off behind her, causing her to walk a little faster to avoid the cameras that could be the paparazzi. She went into a local clothes store that supported Faunas, since she was closer looking to a Faunas than a human now.
The staff had been shocked and a bit fearful when she walked in, but calmed down when Ruby explained she just needed some custom casual clothes to wear. It took a while for them to get her measurements, but it would be worth it if she can replace the makeshift clothes she was wearing.
'I wish I still had my hood, my favorite one got destroyed in the blast.' Ruby thought somberly after leaving the store, heading further in the merchant part of the town.
When she reached a familiar street, a dust shop sat about halfway down the street with a bright neon sign hanging over it's door.
Dust Before Dawn was it's name, a shop Ruby had often come into to buy the latest weapon magazines or parts for Crescent Rose. The bell over the door rang as Ruby crouched down to fit through the door, her long tail swaying behind her like a snake.
"Welcome!" The old man behind the counter said as he heard the bell ring, expecting one of his regulars...
He was not expecting the monsterous girl that walked into his view, however, and he made a slight whimpering sound while he shrunk behind the counter. Ruby's heavy footfalls soon faded as she walked to the magazine shelf, she grabbed a magazine that had a Newsline detailing the Atlas blast.
"Heh, of course they would put out the news about it so soon...they don't even know the full story yet!" Ruby hissed with a hint of anger under her breath, that was until she saw another Newsline in the magazine.
Several beachgoers dead after enormous waves swallowed them with survivors claiming to have seen a massive unidentified creature out in the water.
'No! I-I-I killed people already?' Ruby started hyperventilating as she had done something that went against all of her morals. She had killed another person.
She was truly a monster now wasn't she? That wasn't something her old self would do! She was supposed to save people, not kill them! Yet, people were dead because of her and she didn't even know about it until now!
Ruby was so caught up in her moral inner turmoil, that she didn't hear what was going on in the front of the shop. A group of thugs lead by a man in a white coat and a bowler hat had walked in, the leader threatened the shop owner with his modified cane before having his men grab the Dust.
One of the goons with a bright red blade came up through the aisle behind Ruby while she gripped her head in her hands, her panic at having killed people making her oblivious to everything around her.
His eyes widened upon seeing Ruby, his fight or flight instinct kicking in, which unfortunately for him, choose the more suicidal former option.
"Fucking hells! Hey whatever the fuck you are, put your hands in the air!" The man yelled before slapping Ruby's side, he couldn't reach her shoulder at all, let alone her head hanging so high in the air.
Ruby snapped out of her panic when she felt the hit upon her body. She turned around and noticed the man trying to threaten her with a small weapon, the panic she had been in and her emotional vulnerability made her newly enhanced instincts overpower her rational mind.
She let out a thunderous growl that made the ground vibrate under them, causing items to roll off the shelves and alert everyone in the store to some kind of threat in it.
The man backed up terrified as Ruby's back glowed purple and her tail thumped on the ground behind her, fear dawned upon his face as he stared into Ruby's dominating eyes.
He felt like a prey before a overwhelming predator, pissing his pants from just how small he felt. Ruby then twisted her body and he was sent flying when Ruby slammed her tail into his gut. Almost 70% of his bones in his body shattered as he broke through the glass window of the shop.
The leader turned to the alley where Ruby was visible above the toppled shelves, his face had a semblance of fear on it when he beheld Ruby. He was thinking this shop would be a easy job, now he wasn't so sure at all.
This thing had to weigh about twelve of the goons put together, not to mention the extra appendages it had that looked lethal! Those claws and dorsal plates looked sharp enough to cut steel for Oum's sake!
'What the hell is that thing?!' Very few things could scare the man to this point, but the feeling of power and death emitting off of Ruby was primal in nature.
Ruby stepped forward as her feet cracked the tile ground under her, a bright purple glow flickered occasionally from her jaws and back. Several of the goons ran forward to try to stop Ruby, only for the far left guy to be grabbed and slung at his friends.
Bones cracking was heard when the men slammed together, Ruby's strength and weight had made the throw so much more powerful than normal. Groans of agony sounded through the alleyway where the goons landed after leaving the shop through the open window.
Gunfire erupted at Ruby from the few goons remaining in the shop, causing her to shield her face from the bullets. Her skin may be durable enough to withstand them, but she didn't want to test if her eyes or lipless mouth were as well.
Hearing the guns click empty, Ruby rushed the nearest goon who shrieked like a little girl.
He got chucked across the store into the men's bathroom, getting conked out by hitting his head on a urinal. The rest of them huddled together in a corner, dropping their weapons and crying silently.
Ruby snarled at them before watching the thug's leader booked it out of the dust shop while Ruby soon followed, attracted by the scent of fear he was giving off and put into hunting mode. When any predatory animal smells fear, they go into hunting mode to stalk the prey that had given itself away.
He made his way up a ladder towards a rooftop of a nearby apartment, breathing a sigh of relief when he reached the top. Though his fear soon returned when a loud booming |CRASH!| shook the building. The man stumbled as the entire building shook like a bomb had gone off, cracks spread across the roof from near the wall and ladder he just got off of.
A loud inhuman growl sounded from below the building, Ruby had crashed into the wall while running after the thug.
"Damn! What the fuck have I run into?!" The man swore as the building shook again, Ruby had dug her claws into the wall and was climbing up.
The building shook with every claw strike into it's side, sirens wailed across the city as Ruby had set off every alarm on the block and had the authorities on the way already.
"I need a pickup NOW! We have a monster on our hands!" The call into a disguised radio built into a button on his coat, fear laced his voice when the building shook one last time.
The monsterous Ruby jumped onto the roof and cracked the ground under her, dust and rubble flew in waves from her landing.
"Persistent aren't you, Monster!" The man swore in both fear and rage while Ruby let out a chest shaking growl at her that word again.
"How would you feel if you had been mutated like I was forcefully? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL BECOMING A MONSTER AGAINST YOUR WILL?!" Ruby howled in rage charged the man, her every footfall shaking the building with it's multi-ton force.
The thug's leader screamed with a high pitched voice like the goon from earlier did, rolling out of the way when Ruby slammed her claws into where he had been.
Cracks spread throughout the entire three story building, the foundation underneath it close to shattering from just one strike. The man stumbled and fell on his ass from the shaking, his eyes wide and his mouth agape at the show of force Ruby had just done.
"I NEED A PICKUP NOW DAMMIT! IT'S GOING TO KILL ME!" He howled into his radio, a confirmation sounding in his ear from the radios connected earpiece.
He quickly got up when Ruby charged out of the concrete dust cloud, dodging another blow he could feel the wind pressure of. A single strike would surely kill him like crushing a gnat with your boot.
The end of his cane opened up, a red light building in the tube before a screaming flare slammed into Ruby's face. She slid back from the kinetic force, shaking her head even though the flare hadn't damaged her at all.
Clearing the smoke cloud with a swish of her long tail, Ruby noticed the man standing on the roof's edge. She made to approach him, but stayed back as a bullhead rose up behind him, opening fire on Ruby with fire dust infused .50 caliber machine guns.
She staved off the attack by shielding the front of her body with her tail, Ruby also began building atomic energy into her throat, preparing an atomic beam she would aim at them once they were high enough in the sky.
Once the hail of bullets stopped hitting her, Ruby pulsed her biological radar into her surroundings. Sensing the bullhead taking off towards the emerald forest, Ruby let the energy she had built in her throat loose.
Her jaw quickly unhinged and her eye membrane flickering over her eyes, the purple glow in her throat was only visible for a single second before a massive violet beam of atomic energy exploded out of her mouth.
Her jaw quickly unhinged and her eye membrane flickering over her eyes, the purple glow in her throat was only visible for a single second before a massive violet beam of atomic energy exploded out of her mouth
The skyline of Vale light up like a Christmas tree when the beam pierced the sky, clipping the left jet turbine of the Bullhead, sending it spiraling out of control and crashing into the emerald forest.
Ruby sank to her knees from her energy reserves dipping too low, making her feel exhausted enough to begin to hibernate to regain more energy.
An invisible force grabbed Ruby and caused Ruby to look at the older woman who did it, she was definitely a huntress based on her attire and weapon.
"Shit!" Ruby cussed before she lost consciousness from using a lot of her atomic energy, she was moved through the air by the woman to a unknown location.
Annnnnd that's it!
