《The Awakened One, Book 1: Remnant》Chapter 32: Red Like Roses

As soon as he heard the new voice (Y/N) immediately activated his appearance to become full again, forcing his mask to reappear on his face, concealing his identity. Scylla also turned from a lovable, adorable companion into an aggressive beast poised to attack the sudden ‘intruder’. Scylla shifted away from her master, taking a few steps forward, placing herself in front of her master in a protective manner and she began growling aggressively and flashing her fangs in a protective manner, warning the person not to come any closer.
Even as they saw the flashing teeth and the aggressive growl of the apparent tiger Grimm, the approaching person remained completely unfazed. “Hey, were you the reason I heard those big booms earlier? Wait, why is there a Grimm in the city? Yo, did you just rob that store? There’s a lot of blood on the ground too. Did you kill these guys? Hey, you, guy in red, did you do all this stuff!?” The voice that echoed through the night spoke incredibly quick and sporadically, only managing to stick to one topic for less than a second before they moved onto the next realization they came to.
As (Y/N) remained crouched on the ground, he let out a long sigh, “guy in red? Really?” (Y/N) thought as he slowly rose from his position crouched on the ground, but as he stood up, he responded to the person’s question. “Listen, you really don’t want to know the answer to most… of… those…” he stopped his thoughts mid-sentence as his eyes met with the person standing in front of him, “questions.” The woman he laid eyes on closely resembled another person he knew from the Rwby show he had watched back when he was still on earth, but he could say with 100% confidence that this version of her was infinitely better than the former. “Ruby motha fucken Rose. Holy shit, she looks so… mature.” The woman that stood confidently before him was drop dead gorgeous, and the moment (Y/N) saw her, the childish imagery he had of her previous character completely disappeared and instead he was left with the beauty in front of him.
The woman that stood before him had pure white skin, unblemished in any place he saw. Ruby had short black hair with shining red tips that hung slightly below her head’s length, curling in at its ends to perfectly cradle her face and heighten her beauty. The woman had incredibly soft facially features with no blemishes to be seen which gave her an unnatural, glowing, allure similar to that of a masterpiece sculpture, or a perfectly crafted doll. Even in the dark of night her Silver Eyes glowed, showing off their luminescent intensity that left anyone who met her gaze stunned by the deepness of them. Her lips were small but plump and had natural flush pink coloring like she wore lipstick. The next thing that (Y/N) recognized was the small girls incredibly curvaceous body that could seduce anybody regardless of sexual orientation. Her bust was incredibly large as her cleavage couldn’t be contained in the confines of her tight corset and that was immediately followed by her tight, slim, waist and wide hips. Her legs were also amazingly thick, exposing themselves underneath her short skirt and popping out from her long, thigh length boots.
After taking a moment to appreciate Ruby’s captivating body, his attention was brought back to enchanting clothing. As he saw moments prior, she wore a tight-fit corset that was predominately black in color with a red centering and black fabric intertwined between silver rings to tie down her bust and waist. The top of the corset was decorated with a red belt with a silver buckled that brought extra attention to her large bust. Across her waist was an almost seamless black and red belt that was placed perfectly in between her corset and mini skirt, seamlessly connected the two pieces of clothing making it appear as if the entire outfit was a single dress. Along this amazing stretch of sturdy fabric were various bullets for specialized ammunition, and across her back was a magnetized strip that held her weapon of choice in place. Ruby’s mini skirt was predominately black in color with red tulle underneath it that flowed beautifully with her every movement. Below that, covering a quarter of her voluptuous thighs, were long, thigh high, black boots that were corset like in design, matching well with the rest of her outfit. Along the boots were four straps that were located on her ankle, calf, and two on her thighs, each with silver buckles to match. The bottom of her shoes were thick black boots with red bottoms with a small, elevated heel on them. Covering part of her neck and arms was a white, high neck, décolletage blouse that was decorated with brown straps with silver buckles, and at her wrists were black, silver studded wristbands that went halfway up her fore arms. Around her neck was a long, ruby colored cloak that was shredded at its tips and wrapped around the woman’s neck, clipped together by a silver emblem that depicted an incredibly detailed rose.

*Petal Burst (Semblance)*- Petal Burst allows Ruby to disassemble herself and a chosen partner at a molecular level, allowing them to travel at speeds too fast for the eyes to follow and also possibly travel through objects that would normally be impossible.
‘Crescent Rose’- Ruby Rose’s signature weapon is a High-Caliber-Sniper-Scythe, which is essentially a combination of the strong and sharp melee weapon and the incredible power of a sniper rifle. Due to Ruby’s incredible ability as a master craftsman, this weapon is one of the most destructive and highly capable weapons ever created; +225 STR, +210 DEX, +200 END, +160 VIT
To put everything simply, Ruby was, “Gorgeous. She’s super short still, like 5’ 2’’, but she is not petite in the slightest. Damn, my expectations have been shattered!” He was completely lost in thought as he stared at the girl, much to the confusion of Ruby.” But what the fuck are those stats! Her luck is off the fucking charts! I guess that’s the power of a true protagonist, but her level is so fucking low. I remember it being a trope that she sucked without her scythe, but I didn’t think it was this bad! If I punched her a little too hard, I could probably knock her head off, literally! I understand the whole master craftsmen thing, it really should be craftswoman but whatever, but these stats aren’t really even that good. Of course, early game it’d be overpowered, but late game its trash because it doesn’t scale with your own power.” As (Y/N) sunk deeper into his own thoughts about the woman in front of him, she began to get a little impatient even though much time hadn’t passed since she first called him out.
“Uhm, sir! Guy in red! I really would like to know the answer to my questions please! Are you a bad guy? You like a bad guy. I guess I should assume you’re a bad guy. Plus, we can’t have Grimm just wandering around Vale anyway.” After taking a moment to think about and reassure herself about the action she was about to commit, Ruby reached behind her and grabbed Crescent Rose, removing it from its holster. “Ok! I’m gonna stop your evil deeds, red guy!” As she removed her weapon from her back, she took a moment to allow it to unfold, transforming itself from a compact sheet of metal, into an elongated scythe that she then slammed roughly against the ground behind her. The lady in red stood poised for a moment, the blade of her weapon embedded in the ground behind her, and her fingers firmly placed on the sniper’s trigger.
The moment (Y/N) heard the slamming of metal against concrete, his attention was forced from his thoughts to the girl standing in front of him, and as he saw the stance that Ruby was taking, he immediately recognized what was going to happen next. And as soon as he heard the firing of the sniper’s bullet that echoed through the streets, he pulled his own scythe, Grimm, from his chest to meet the girl’s sudden attack.
As Ruby pulled the trigger, the insane amount of recoil that the powerful weapon had, sent her flying forward towards her target and she quickly spun, allowing the blade to twirl horizontally as she rapidly approached the masked figure. To her surprise, the Grimm didn’t attack her, and it instead leaped out of the trajectory of the strike, leaving her to focus all her strength on the man in front of her. As Crescent Rose reached striking range with its target and Ruby put all her strength into her swing, she was shocked to hear the sound of metal clashing against metal, and as she looked at the man, she was even more surprised to see a long black scythe in his hand. Ruby immediately shot another bullet, using the momentum to fly backwards out of the mans striking range. “Oh my god, he uses a scythe too! Oh my god you use a Scythe too! That’s so cool! Most people don’t because of how much skill it takes to use it, but its like super rewarding cause their so cool! Did you make yours? Can I see it? I just wanna touch it a lil bit. Nothing crazy. Oh wait, I can’t. You’re a bad guy, oh man that suck. It would’ve been cool to have another scythe enthusiast friend since the only other person I’ve ever talked about scythes with was uncle Qrow.” Ruby’s mood switched from ecstatic to depressed in a matter of seconds, but even then, she didn’t stop talking. “But I guess I’ll have to settle for fighting with you! Scythe fight!”

In that moment Ruby instantly shot off another sniper shell, propelling herself flying towards her target at a rapid pace, “Mature in looks only, got it. Meta, you know the deal, make sure I don’t kill her on accident.”
[Yessir!]
Ruby slung Crescent Rose around in a strong horizontal slash, using her momentum to rapidly increase the strength of her swing, but instead of dodging, (Y/N) took the opportunity to establish his dominant strength by turning slightly into the arc of her swing, and with a strong slash, sent her attack careening backwards despite its immense momentum. As ruby was sent backwards, she held strong to her weapon, firing off sniper shots like it was a handgun to negate her knockback. As she stopped her backwards momentum, she quickly turned it into forward speed by firing two shots in quick succession, the firsts sent her forward, the second she jumped with and shot at a downward angle to send her high into the sky. She then placed her scythe in an overhead motion and shot two more times to send herself speeding towards the ground, spinning like a bladed car tire. Again, as her attack reached the unmoving man, he met her strong swing with one of his own, this time perfectly timing her rotation with an upward arced slash with Grimm, connecting the tip of her blade with his, but sending her soaring through the air completely off balance. Luckily, Ruby some how managed to keep her hands on the trigger allowing herself to lessen the damage of her fall slightly by slowing her speed slightly before she crashed into the ground, sliding across the street until she eventually came to a stop.
She didn’t stay down for long, quickly getting up to try again., “I get it, he’s super strong, but he can’t move at all! I just need to speed around him to catch him where he’s defenseless.” After quickly coming up with her game plan, she quickly reloaded her weapon with a fresh clip and slammed Crescent Rose into the ground, propping it up like a sniper’s bipod and began firing shot after shot at the masked man. (Y/N) easily saw the bullets coming and began slashing at each of them, cutting them clean in half, and leaving them completely useless against him. This continued for a moment until Ruby dropped another clip from the scytherifle, transformed it into its more compact form, reloaded it and dashed at her opponent. She propelled herself using Crescent Rose’s compact gun form, rapidly switching around her approach method to confuse and disorient the red man. She initially dashed straight forward, then quickly switching her direction to the left with a quick right shot, and as she thought that she had him off guard, she fluidly shot behind her and transformed her weapon into a scythe in the same motion, propelling herself at her opponent with a devastating hook. As the blade rapidly approached the still man, he easily maneuvered his weapon to deflect her slow approach, forcing her backwards yet again.
But the woman refused to give up, shooting rapid fire shots to speedily propel herself at the man with multiple different advances and approaches from all different angles and all of her different attacks. Every strike was faster than the last, but each one was easily guarded, deflected, and stopped by the immovable man. As the ‘battle’ went on, Ruby began to get a feel for the timing in which the hooded man chose to defend against her attacks, so as she prepared for one last approach, she leaped far backwards down the street and emptied her clip once more. And as she reloaded, she thought, “what’s up with this guy! This is my last dang clip! I really hope this works or else Yang’s gonna be really mad at me.” When she finished reloading, she held her scythe up to her side in her usual stance and she then began sprinting forward towards her opponent. With every advancing step she took, she simultaneously fired off a sniper shell, sending herself flying forward towards her opponent. This continued until her feet were no longer running on the ground, instead she was practically flying close to the ground as she soared towards the man in red, but the entire time she kept her curved blade poised, horizontally, at her side. As she got incredibly close, she watched carefully as his shadowy black scythe was raised to defend against the incoming slash and as she saw this Ruby cracked a large smile. The killer, speeding attack that the man in red thought was going to happen never came and instead once Ruby got close enough, she bursted into a swarm of rose pedals, speeding up rapidly, and essentially teleporting behind her opponent. She then quickly reformed herself behind the man and used all of her momentum that she had built up to slam the blade of her scythe into him. “Hah! Gotcha!” she thought as her blade careened towards the man’s blind side.
Crescent Rose sliced through the air as it rapidly approached the man’s blind spot, but as soon as it was about to make contact with his torso, a loud metallic CLANG echoed through the emptied streets. “Huh? How!?!!?” She thought as she turned to see a crazy sight, “How? How? How are you doing that!” (Y/N) held Crescent Rose’s blade to a complete stand still using the blade of his Grimm, however he had absorbed the entire handle into his inventory through his hand, so the blade of his weapon was popping out from his hand. “Whatever it doesn’t matter! I still haven’t done this yet!” As soon as she spoke, she rapidly pulled the trigger on her weapon and immediately fired off multiple shots to propel the blade through her opponent’s guard, but as each of the shots were fired off, the man’s blade didn’t move an inch, and Crescent Rose went nowhere. Eventually she was clicking the trigger and it responded with empty clicks, signifying her defeat. “Dang it! How are you so strong? The only other person to take my shots like this was Uncle Qrow” as she admitted defeat, she removed her blade from her opponent’s side, and folded it back up, placing it on her back.
As (Y/N) at the girls now saddened face he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty for what he did, so he decided to comfort her a bit. “Hey Red, you did pretty alright considering our strength differences, hell you even caught me off guard with that last teleport like ability of yours. If I hadn’t seen something like that a while ago, I probably would’ve gotten hit by it so cheer up a little” he said as he used his free hand to pat her head gently.
“Did I really do alright? I feel like I didn’t do anything right” she asked as she looked up to the taller man.
“Absolutely, but let me give you a quick tip, you can’t rely on your weapon for everything. It’s not even that you might lose it or something, but someone could easily take advantage of the disadvantages of it and if you don’t have a counter measure or have enough basic strength to maneuver out of those scenarios, then you could be screwing yourself. Like you said, Scythes are super cool, but they have a lot of close-range weaknesses, even I’ve been looking into adding some more to my weapon arsenal.”
Ruby’s mood instantly improved as she got advice from the man and heard him talk nicely about her beloved weapon type. “I know right! Scythes are super cool! I guess you are right though, it couldn’t hurt to look into something to compliment it” she said as she stood in a thinking pose. “Oh yeah and I gotta train and get stronger! I spent so much time making my Crescent Rose during the academy that I completely forgot about that part of becoming a Huntress.”
“Oh really? You plan on becoming a Huntress?”
“Yeah of course! Why else would I be walking around with a big scythe with bullets and stuff!”
“I thought that you were just some crazed weapons enthusiasts with a justice complex. Honestly you could’ve fooled me” he said in a sarcastic, joking manner.
Ruby began cracking up at the man’s joke and as her laughter died down, she placed her hand on his shoulder to hold herself up. “Hey, I guess you really aren’t that bad of a man, red guy.”
(Y/N) rolled his eyes slightly at her comment, “hey Red, before you came at me with that beautiful weapon of yours, you didn’t think that maybe, just maybe, I could try to explain myself? You never really gave me chance to answer your questions” he said as he put his weaponized hand down to his side.
Ruby’s mind and body paused for a moment, before her face began heating up, sweat began dripping from her palms, and her heart rate suddenly skyrocketed. “Huh? Did he just say my Crescent Rose was beautiful? Uhm, o-ok. I’ll h-here w-hat you have t-to say” she mumbled out to the man in front of her, but as she realized how she was acting, it only embarrassed her further, so she quickly corrected it. “But it has nothing to do with what you said! I am doing this because I want to! I am a stand-up woman, and I listen first before fighting!”
“Cap. Ok.” (Y/N) said, only slightly confused by the way she was acting. “I didn’t even say anything this time, whatever. So, what would you like to know first miss red? I am an open book.”
As she was suddenly put on the spot, all the thoughts and questions that had formulated in her mind prior completely left her memory. “Wait! Gimme a sec, I forgot. Uhm, crap, what am I supposed to do in situations like this? Oh yeah! Yang says to retrace my steps. So, I was walking the streets looking for Yang cause we got separated, or did she leave me? Did I leave her? Hmmm…. wait Ruby stay focused! I saw a Dust store that was open, and they had a magazine rack with Weapons monthly, so I went inside and started reading, but then while I was reading, I heard a loud BOOM! And it caught me off guard and I got curious, so I looked for the source. And then I heard some screams, then glass breaking, then slices and stuff, then when I finally got here there was a Grimm and a man in red aaannnddd a bunch of bodies on the ground! Oh yeah!”
Ruby suddenly was ejected from her thoughts as she had found the solution to her problem, “I was wondering what you were doing here! So, what are you doing here?” The girls head tilted sideways in a quizzical expression; it was oddly cute in a weird way.
“Well, I got a call from a friend of mine who was getting robbed, so I rushed over here to help her out, but I think I might’ve ran a little to fast and caused that big boom that you heard earlier. Also, when I got here, these gangsters were trying to rob my friends store, so I disposed of them accordingly.” He said as he pointed out the dismantled bodies scattered across the ground, “well, not these guys specifically, Scylla did these. I handle the ones inside.”
Ruby’s face kind of lit up in excitement when he mentioned the Grimm’s name, “Oh my god! Is that Grimm, like, your pet or something?”
“I mean, I don’t consider her a pet, she’s more like a partner or a companion, but I know what you mean so the answer is yes.” Ruby immediately squealed excitedly, bouncing up and down on her toes at the man’s response.
“That’s soooo adorable! I’ve never seen anything like that before! Normally they just try to kill people, but she’s not doing that at all! And she was like super protective of you when I showed up! That’s super cute.” She then turned to Scylla who had ran back up to her master’s side, “Hey Redman, do you think I could pet her a lil bit? Just a small amount. I promise I’ll be gentle! Please? Pretty please?”
(Y/N) was quiet for a moment as he tried to register what exactly was this woman’s problem, “Redman? Wait that’s not the point. Hey Red,” he said, getting her full attention.
“Yes Redman?”
“You remember that I just told you that she’s responsible for all the bodies on the ground, right?”
“Yeah, I remember that. I swear I’m not that much of a ditz!”
“So, you still want to pet her? I thought we were evil doers and what not?”
“Well, you said that they tried to hurt your friend, right? And they tried to steal all of her stuff?” The Redman responded to her questions by nodding yes, prompting Ruby to let out a beaming smile at him. “So that means that they deserved it! You were just protecting someone important to you, and there’s nothing wrong with that! And plus, I can tell that you’re a really nice person!”
The girl’s response left him a little bewildered, “so killing is ok to this girl? Seems like she views everything a little bit too black and white which might be troubling later on. Really? How do you know I’m such a good person?”
“Because I can just tell! And you gave me good advice! And you didn’t hurt me when you definitely could’ve! And you comforted me when I was sad that I lost! And you have a scythe that your gonna let me look at later! Nobody who has a weapon like that could be a bad person! It’s just not possible. Now, can I please give Scylla a quick little headpat? Just a little one, I promise. Please?”
“You are a very interesting individual Red” he said as he returned his Scythe to his inventory by absorbing it up his forearm. “Go ahead, pet away, you have my full permission, but know that if Scylla doesn’t like it, I’m going to have to stop you.”
“YES! Thanks Redman!” After she was given permission, she leaped at the man’s feet where the large tiger cub was hugging closely to her master’s leg. Ruby sat crisscross on the floor, gently rubbing the top of Scylla’s head, right above her mask, and in response to the girls touch the Grimm hybrid let out a ‘terrifying’ growl.
“Mwrah!” The sudden deep, rumbling growl gave ruby pause for a moment before her face lit up once again, this time gleaming even more joyful than before.
“Oh… my… goodness! You are just so fricken adorable! I just wanna take you home and eat you up!” Completely undeterred by Scylla’s rumbling voice, Ruby continued gently rubbing and stroking the animal’s soft fur, taking her time to even stroke the various bone like appendages that sprouted from her back, and while Byakko refused to purr, she still leaned into the woman’s gentle touches enjoying every moment of it.
(Y/N) watched comfortably as Ruby pet and simultaneously baby talked his partner before he heard familiar footsteps approaching behind him. He of course turned around to greet his lover as she exited the destroyed building, “how is Rouge doing?”
Scarlet, now with her mask back on, walked up next to her lover and lightly placed her head on his shoulder, exhaling slightly as she did so. “She’s fine now, just a little shook from the entire experience as a whole, but right now she’s headed home to rest for the night and I told her I’d take care of some of the after math as the official owner. She’s strong and determined so she’ll naturally bounce back from this ending up far stronger than she was before.”
“That’s good” he said as he leaned his on top of hers, comforting her. “Sorry I left you back there, I didn’t want you to get hurt from me going too fast.”
In response, Scarlet shook her head slightly, “no Honey, you did the right thing. I definitely would’ve gotten destroyed by that amount of acceleration; I was honestly lucky to come away without a scratch at all. Even though it didn’t feel very ‘lucky’, it felt very calculated, but that’s something we can talk about later” she said with a small smile beneath her mask. “Do you think that Roman’s men wanted to get an upper hand by stealing Dust from around the city?”
“Yeah of course, it’s the only way to explain all this, and it also makes sense why they’d attack this shop in particular. Rouge was making a killing during this Dust drought, so while every other store had dried up, everyone knew Diamonds to Dust was an oasis.”
“I think so as well. Luckily though, there wasn’t much damage, just a lot of the glass and some of the walls. All of which can be easily replaced and will be covered by the insurance so there are no real losses here today. Except for Roman losing some idiotic, pieces of human filth!” Scarlet couldn’t hold back some of the anger she felt at the sudden attack on her daughter in all but blood, but she contained it just enough to refrain from mutilating the corpses. “Thanks for killing them, because I don’t know what I would’ve done if any of them had laid a finger on Rouge.”
“I was just doing what I felt needed to be done, so there’s no need for the thanks.”
Scarlet chuckled slightly at his deflection, “there you go again with the humble deflections. You need to learn how to take some gratification, relishing in a small compliment never hurt anybody you know.” After her light lector, she twisted her head to give him a masked kiss on his forehead as a sing of affection, before she lifted her head completely from his shoulder and exhaled softly. “So, what are we gonna do about the bodies? Obviously, the cops aren’t gonna show tonight because Roman has them on payroll. Clean ‘em up and act like this never happened? Or leave ‘em as a message?”
“Imma go with the latter” he responded unbeatably.
“You and your messages,” she said giggling slightly, “you really can’t get enough of them” she finished jokingly.
(Y/N) then raised his arms in mock defensiveness, “aye what can I say? I don’t like talking that much.”
The stupid joke managed to rouse a laugh out of the mature woman, and as she finished her laughter, she wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. “I love you so much Honey” she whispered into the chest of her lover.
“I love you too “he said in response, wrapping his own arms around her waist and deepening their embrace.
For a moment, the two lovebirds just stood in the middle of the street embracing one another, entering their own little world where only the two of them existed in each other’s arms. After some time had passed it was made very apparent that they weren’t the only two people in their world. “Sssssttttttttaaaaaaarrrrrrrreeeeeee” a red-haired girl with a black Grimm in her hands was staring holes through the duo and the more they tried to ignore her, the more the girl stared. Suddenly, she became self-aware of her mood ruining actions, “oh am I bothering you guys? I’m so sorry! I just thought that you looked super cute together and I was wondering if I’d ever find somebody like that. You know? Like, I hug my sister, and uncle Qrow all the time, but I don’t think its really the same as you two! You guys look super in love! I mean, I do of course love my sister and my uncle, but I don’t think it’s the same love that you have for each other. I just think that you two look really cute together and I’d like to think that I’d find someone like that as well! But I also don’t know what I’m looking for either, you know? Like...” the girl kept babbling on, rambling about only god knows what as Scarlet’s attention was pulled back to her Honey.
“Hon, who is this sexy girl that’s petting Scylla?”
“Yeah, she’d get along really well with Nix. Uhm, I can’t say that I have a good answer to that question. She kinda just showed up, swung her scythe at me because she thought I was a ‘bad guy’ but then after I explained what happened she wanted to pet Scylla.”
“Interesting” was all she replied with as she turned her attention back to the busty girl that was still explaining her thoughts to whoever was listening.
“So basically, what I was trying to say is that I’m not lonely, but I can’t help but want to find a person that I can connect with on a romantic level, but I still don’t really know what that means yet since Yang has yet to explain it to me fully cause she says that I’m too immature. But I’m not immature! I’m a grown woman, with a grown woman figure, and grown woman tendencies! She needs to learn that I’m not a kid anymore! I demand-“ Scarlet slowly squatted down so that she was head level with the rambling girl and then she spoke softly to get her attention.
“Excuse me cutie” she said softly, successfully getting the girls attention.
“-respect.” Ruby was brought out of her little ‘zone’ as she heard a woman’s sultry voice right beside her ear and she turned to face her. “Huh, me?”
“Yes, you cutie.”
“Yes ma’am, what do you need?”
“Well, I would love it if we could introduce ourselves to one another. I am Hel, and that man up there,” she said as she pointed up towards her lover, “is my lover and he goes by many names so you may have to find one that suits you. How about you?”
“Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself! Hi, my name is Ruby Rose, and it is very nice to meet you both, Hel, Redman.”
“Nice to meet you to Red” (Y/N) said from above.
“It is very nice to meet you Ruby, but I can’t help but wonder what brought you to this part of town at this time of night? Do you think you could help me figure that out?”
“Of course, I can! So, it all started when I lost my sister, or she left me, or I left her, I can’t really remember the details, but anyway…”
(Y/N) began zoning out as her explanation continued, going internal yet again, something that he found himself doing more and more lately, “Ruby Rose. She is damn near identical in personality to her Rooster Teeth counterpart, but she seems a little less, naive. She’s definitely been exposed to a little more of the world and even it seems she doesn’t know much about relations and the like; she still has a grasp on it.” He determined most of this by just listening to her ramblings while he was talking with Scarlet about who she was and of course the conversation they had a bit earlier, “but who knew she’d be such an open book. She literally just can’t help herself from spilling everything, once she starts, she just doesn’t stop.” His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice appearing in his mind.
[Friend! Junior is contacting you on your Scroll right now! Would you like Meta to answer it?]
“Twice in one night? Yeah, sure Meta, go ahead and answer it” he said as he pulled the Scroll from his inventory and put it up to his ear. “Yo, what’s happening Junior?”
“Hey Boss, remember when you told me about a powerful girl with fiery blonde who might come in here asking questions about a certain somebody?”
“Two in one night? Seriously? Yeah, Junior I do remember telling you about that” he said as he shook his head slightly.
“Well, I believe that the woman you told me about is here right now, and I promise I tried my hardest to follow your orders, but she just wasn’t having any of it. After I told her that you’d be back in a moment after handling some important business she said she wasn’t waiting and wanted answers immediately.”
As (Y/N) listened to Junior’s explanation about what happened, in the background he could here the smashing of fists like a battle was going on. “So, what’s happening now Junior?” He asked the question reluctantly, knowing that he already had a pretty good idea of what was going down already.
“After she got impatient and testy, she swung at me, but Miltia and Melanie defended me and blocked the punch, and after that they were about to start battling it out. However, Z stepped in and said that he wanted to earn his keep, so he said that he’d keep her busy until you got back. I’m sorry I let it get this out of hand Boss.”
“Don’t worry about it Junior, you did good to keep things in control. I’m on my way now though, just try to ensure that the damage to the men and the club is kept to an absolute minimum.”
“Yessir, because Z stepped in no one else needed to get involved and right now Z has contained her to the reinforced dance floor so nothings being destroyed. He’s actually an incredible fighter!”
“That’s perfect. I’ll be there soon” he said as he hung up the call. (Y/N) immediately turned back to his lover and Ruby who was finishing up talking about everything that happened leading up to this moment. Scarlet had a phenomenal ability to split her brain between multiple tasks just like he did, so she was already at least partially privy to what her Honey was about to say. “Hey Red” he said to get the girls attention.
“Yeah Redman?”
“I think I know where your sister is.”
