《The Awakened One, Book 1: Remnant》Chapter 33: I Burn

As (Y/N) turned to the girl in red, her face lit up in surprise, “wait really!?! You know where my sister is?” As (Y/N) told the girl the information Scarlet was wondering who Ruby’s sister was for her to be wreaking havoc back at the Devils Club (Name pending), but instead of asking any direct questions, she kept the thoughts in her mind and speculated knowing that they were going to find out real soon. Hel then stood from the floor, picking up Scylla from Ruby’s arms and moved next to her man, preparing the duo for quick movement.
However, as Hel held onto the Devil’s arm, her attention was brought back to the energetic girl who was still sitting comfortably on the cracked ground. “Hon, what are we going to do about miss Rose? Should we just leave her here to follow?”
(Y/N) considered her question for a moment before coming to an answer, “well, because we’ve been standing around talking and discussing things for so long, my mana from Berserk already completely drained and refilled completely from my Mana Regeneration, so it shouldn’t be an issue bringing her along with us. Plus, everyone already knows that the Devil can teleport, or at least disappear to some degree so Ruby is allowed to know as well. Yeah, she can come with, she’ll probably be able to help calm her sibling down as well” he responded to her questions. He then turned his attention to the girl, “Red, we’re about to take a ride to where your sister is. Are you coming?”
“Yeah, for sure!” She happily hopped up from the ground and ran up to the demonic looking pair, stopping directly in front of them. “So, how we getting there? Do you have a super car sitting around here or something? Please don’t tell me we’re running. I’m already tired from not fighting you and listening first.”
(Y/N) chuckled slightly underneath his mask at her little joke and then he used his free hand to slide his arm around her shoulder to scoop her underneath his arm in a one armed, side hug. “No, we are not running. We’ll be doing something very similar to your own ability.”
Ruby’s face lit up in excitement, “no way! You can make everyone move really, really fast too!”
“If instantaneously is considered really, really fast then yes, I can do that. It may be slightly disorienting at first, but I’m sure you’ll be a little more used to it than the average person. Demonic Walk” much to Ruby’s amazement, one moment they were in the center of the street, then the next they were down the street on top of a building, and then the next they were on another roof top further down the street. After this happened six more times (Y/N) stopped the movement for a moment to check on Ruby and make sure she was alright. “Red, are you doing alright? Do you need a break or anything like that?”
Ruby looked up to the man completely wide eyed in pure amazement, “that was awesome! Do it again, do it again! It’s like what I do, but I don’t feel the wind of the movement at all! It’s literally like we were in one place… and then we were in another. But minus all the moving!”
“I’ll take that as a yes then” he said as he teleported them the rest of the way to the club. As they approached the large building, (Y/N) stopped his teleportation directly in front of the black carpet that was rolled out as the VIP entry to the building and even from there he could hear the clashing of fists and the booms of exploding Dust. “I swear to god Yang, if you break hella shit it my club I’m gonna flip” he thought as he let go of the short girl that was hugging tightly to his side. “Red, we’re here.”

“Woah, this place looks super adult. It’s kinda sketchy too. Why are there people dressed like the dead people on the street that Scylla killed? I thought they were the baddies?”
“It’s a little bit more complicated then that Red, but I’m sure you’ll understand in time, but for now try to focus on the fact that your sister is in here” he said as he pat the girl on her head slightly.
“Ok!”
“Also, you can let go of me now, we won’t be teleporting anymore” he said to the clinging girl, but as he said in, she only began hugging his side tighter.
“Really? Do I have to?” She began depressingly, “I don’t really want to. For some reason hugging you is really, really, really comfortable and I don’t wanna let go. Can I stay on please?”
(Y/N) let out a small exhale and answered with a monotone, “sure, but lets not delay or entry any further. Your sister is more than likely destroying everything in this club right now and that thought does not really excite me at all.” As soon as he finished speaking, the group stepped onto the black carpet and the moment they did the six large bouncers that lined the entry way bowed down in unison.
A moment after their quick bow, as (Y/N) and his group reached the center of the carpet, the men welcomed their leaders back with a thunderous announcement. “Welcome back Chief! Welcome home Mistress!” The power couple ignored their welcome committee and continued walking towards the double doors that were being held open by two more bowing men.
However, Ruby was left absolutely astonished by the sudden welcome and she hugged closer to Redman’s arm as she saw the men’s reaction to his appearance, and after they entered into the club, she let out a small whisper. “Woah, Redman and Hel must be really important or something. Hey, are you guys really important?”
Hel responded with a light chuckle and said, “something like that Ruby.”
“Wow, that’s like super cool!” After that small thought, the entire groups attention was brought to bangs, booms, and clashes that were echoing off the marble walls, coming from the central club room. It sounded like a major fight had broken out, and as they breached the large rectangular arch that brought them into the massive room, the source of the noise became ever apparent. “Yang!” Ruby’s voice echoed through the room, but the woman that she called completely ignored her, instead focusing fully on the mammoth like figure that was stopping her from discovering the information she wanted to know.
(Y/N) watched as the woman ducked low into her fighting stance, slipping past a strong right hand from Zeb, and immediately retaliated with a barrage of shotgun boosted punches against the mountainous man’s monumental guard. Even though the strength of the attacks were incredibly formidable, he remained completely unfazed and instead of buckling, he shot forward striking at her yet again with a quick left-hand jab that the woman was forced to dash backwards to dodge. As her dash came to a stop, the Devil was able to get good look at the woman who had confidently barged into his establishment and started to run amuck.
She had long, flowing, golden, blonde hair that seemingly glowed in the darkly lit club. Her beautiful hair flowed down her back, stopping just short of the middle of her butt and at the top of her head she had a small cowlick that dangled and shifted with her every movement. The woman was fair skinned with now visual blemishes to be seen, and her face gave off an incredibly fierce aura that made her look slightly animalistic in her rage. Her eyes were a cutesy round shape and were lilac in color, but they quickly flickered between that and a ragefully crimson color as her battle continued on. Her skin had a natural blush on each of her cheeks that boosted her prettiness immensely and her lips were very similar to her sister in that they were small but full and were pink in color. She wore a tan cropped jacket with golden brown lining its edges that stopped at her midriff, revealing her incredibly toned abdomen, and its sleeves stopped short of her elbows with black cuffs at its end. Each of the sleeves cuffs had two golden buttons that were layered one on top of the other, and covering her hands were black, fingerless gloves. Loosely wrapped along her neck was a silky orange scarf that flowed invisibly behind her long golden hair.

Underneath her jacket, she wore a tight fit, bright yellow low cut crop top that had a fiery emblem on her left breast. Her jacket was only partially closed, hanging out by the grace of an incredibly strong, well-made zipper because of the woman’s massive bust that hung from the top of the jacket. On her hips she wore extraordinarily tight hotpants that were black in color that hugged tightly to her curvaceous hips and thick thighs. Over the short shorts she had a brown utility belt strapped snuggly to her waist, that was covered by a pleated leathery, brown material that wrapped around the back of her waist like half a skirt, from hip to hip. Along this material was the same golden emblem that could be seen on her cropped top, various pouches containing bullets and dust, and the belt was buckled at its front by a silver buckle. Along her legs she wore orange knee-high socks but only the one on her left leg was pulled up all the way, the other was pushed down to the top of her long, leather knee high boots.
Along the woman’s wrists were a pair of yellow bracelets that quickly transformed, covering her forearms and hands in arm guard like gauntlets. The gauntlets were a golden yellow color and the shotgun shells that showed inside them were predominantly red in color with orange tips.

*Burn (Semblance)*- This phenomenal semblance allows Yang’s Aura to absorb kinetic energy from each and every blow that her Aura can withstand and use it to further enhance her natural strength or redirect it at her opponent dealing massive damage.
‘Ember Celica’- Yang Xiao Long’s signature weapons are a dual pair of Dual Ranger Shot Gauntlets, that allow Yang to control the close-range space with immensely powerful punches that are boosted by shotgun blasts that she can shoot at any time. This devastating weapon can also allow her to attack at a range as well, using the shells inside to launch grenade like shots at her opponents; +20% STR, +20% END, +10% DEX, +10% VIT
Yang stood back for a moment before shot forward, using her gauntlets to rapidly increase her speed as she approached the massive man, but as she brought her fist towards his face to strike him with a strong right hand, he was easily able to catch her fist, and the instant he grasped her fist he carried her momentum to send her soaring into the ground. After the initial crash into the floor, her body skid across the dance floor, slowly coming to a screeching stop as she crashed into one of the glass pillars that lined it. Yang lied on the ground for a moment before she slowly used her fist to raise to her feet and after she finished standing herself up, she fiercely stared holes into Zeb’s form. In that moment she clashed her fists together and her entire body suddenly erupted into a ball of flame. Her hair turned a flaming golden color, and it began flowing as if a light breeze had made its way into the closed room, and her eyes had fully turned from their lilac color into a flaming crimson. The now flaming woman growled animalistically as she launched herself back into the fray, attempting the same punch she did before, except this time her rocketing punch slammed into Z’s opened hand and sent him skidding backwards along the hardened floor. Yang didn’t stop after that attack; she quickly shot two explosive shotgun shells at Z’s now raised guard and then shot another blank behind herself to propel herself at him.
Z was forced to tank the first two grenade like shotgun shells and as yang rapidly approached, he confidently dipped low, stepping into her initial swing, taking the blow in his left shoulder instead of his face, then punishing her attack by rocketing his right fist into her abdomen. Yang winced slightly from the attack, but it only fueled her strength further, so when he went to guard her next strike, a left hook to the man’s torso, his guard was flung wide open by the power of her fist. The flaming woman immediately took advantage of his new vulnerability by rapidly smashing her shotgun propelled fists into his chest and once she finished her quick barrage, Z was sent flying across the room, rolling against the ground, slamming himself into the new DJ stand causing minor damage to it. Even the attack seemed devastating, Z got up from the attack relatively unharmed and he quickly prepared to jump back into the fight.
“Yay go Yang!” Ruby yelled once again in the room, but Yang remained to ignore her, far to focused on her new objective, ‘destroy the man in front of me’ which she was on a positive trajectory of accomplishing. Ruby’s cheering did get the attention of Z who saw that she was clinging on to the Chief’s side, and as he saw him, he immediately determined that his job was done, so he dropped his fight stance and bowed slightly in his presence. As Yang saw this, she immediately turned her head to see who he was bowing to and as she saw the masked man with her sister wrapped around him her rage peaked.
“LET GO OF MY SISTER FUCKFACE!” She yelled as she pointed her gauntleted fist at the man.
“Hey Yang! He’s not a bad guy! He likes scythes and stuff!”
“AAAARRRRGGGGGGGAAAAAAHHHHHHH” was all her sister responded with in her blinding rage as she further powered herself up with her semblance.
Before she could launch herself at her new enemy, (Y/N) turned to Ruby and whispered, “will you be mad if I hurt your sister a little bit to make her see reason?”
Ruby immediately responded with, “nope! She gets really hard to reason with when she’s angry” as soon as the words left her mouth, Yang launched herself at the group on the steps, flying through the air with her fist high in the air.
“Good” was all he responded with as he let his scythe fall from his body into his free hand, “gravity control,” as he thought of the skill, he controlled the gravity surrounding the air born Yang to send her flying backwards back onto the hardened dance floor. “I can’t have her breaking shit in my club, hey Meta same rules, just give me enough strength to break her Aura. Let’s just end it quickly this time.” Yang was ridiculously confused on how her forward momentum quickly turned backwards, but that only really made her madder. (Y/N) quickly teleported from Ruby’s embrace, instantly closing the distance between him and his target, this surprised Yang, but she immediately took advantage of the closed distance to fire off a quick, powerful right hook at the man’s face. However, one moment he was there, but the next he was completely gone. For a moment she thought he teleported again, but she didn’t see the black streak that followed him after the first teleport, he was simply just that fast and the moment she realized that she felt a blade painlessly slip between her shoulder blades, and exit out her chest, instantly draining what was left of her Aura. (Y/N) quickly pulled the blade from the phantom like incision where his scythe had entered into the girl, and he watched as Yang harmlessly dropped to the ground confused.

The no longer flaming woman turned back to face the demonic figure, “what the fuck did you just do?”
“I cut your Aura instead of cutting you directly. I did that because I wasn’t trying to hurt you and I just wanted to have a discussion with you. Why couldn’t you just wait a minute?” Yang was left speechless, but as she was about to answer the man’s question, a blur of red and black slammed into her, sending her skidding across the ground.
“Yang! Sister! How are you! Why did you leave me? Or why did you let me leave you? Why are you in this club? Who are you looking for? I was looking for you. And I found you! Oh, how did it feel to get stabbed in the chest? Did it hurt? You don’t look hurt? Did you know that Redman has a pet Grimm? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, this is Redman. He’s super cool and nice and he gave me advice and said he’d let me see his scythe later and he also said that we’d build some weapons together later. Right Redman?”
(Y/N) let out a small sigh before he put his weapon back into his body and picked the two girls back up onto their feet. “Red, Goku, would you both please follow Hel upstairs? She’ll get the both of you situated and that is where I’ll try my best to answer all of your questions. Ok?”
Yang reluctantly exhaled a heavy breath she didn’t know she was holding, “ok fine. You better tell me what the fuck I wanna know or else we’re gonna have some big problems asshole. Come on Rubes” she exclaimed while glaring into the eyes of the man who put her on her ass.
Hel soon walked up to the small group with Scylla still in her arms and tapped on Yang’s shoulder to get her attention. “Hello Yang, its very nice to meet you, I’m Hel. If you two would please follow me, I’ll show you to the top” she said politely as she began leading the girls to the Devil’s office.
“Hey Hel, can I hold Scylla? Please? I promise I’ll be really gentle. I might be small, but I’m really strong so I can carry her I promise! Please?” That was what (Y/N) heard as Ruby, Yang, and Yang walked their way up the stairs, and into the back area. As the sound of them talking disappeared, the Devil let out a small exhale and he walked over to the bar where Mil, Mel, Junior, and Z had congregated after the whole affair.
“Nice job Chief, you really know how to handle people quick and easy, and you did it without actually hurting her, that was phenomenal!” Z exclaimed as he watched the chief lean on the bar table.
“Like yeah Bro, that was super cool!”
“I don’t even think that me and Mel would’ve been able to handle her without causing a bunch of damage to the club.”
“Welcome back Boss, great job as always.”
“You guys give me too much credit, Zeb was able to keep her contained long enough for me to get here and he ensured that everything didn’t get destroyed in the process. Zeb, you did a great job, by the way, how you feeling? You took a couple of strong shots from the girl.”
“Thanks for worrying chief, but I’m completely fine. Shots like those don’t do much to me. I’m kinda just built differently.”
“I can see that” he said as he chuckled slightly. “Alright, you guys can choose whether or not you wish to join this little meeting we’ll be having with the fiery blonde and her hyperactive sister. I just wanted to make sure all of you were alright before I did anything else” he said as he hopped off the bar and started walking his way upstairs.
“Like, I’m coming too!”
“Same here!”
“I don’t really have anything else to do, so I may as well listen in on what this girls deal is.”
“Of course, I’m coming Boss!” The Elite’s followed quickly behind the man they looked up to as he made his way up the stairs, giving slight head nods to all those that bowed in his presence. The Devil and his companions quickly made their way to his large office door and Junior walked ahead of the group to open the door for his Boss, and as (Y/N) walked through the door, he saw a fairly interesting scene. Ruby was sitting in one of the chairs pure white chairs with Scylla in her lap while she explained everything that had happened up till this moment to her sister, but simultaneously lulled Scylla into a sense of comfort with her gentle petting. Yang sat in the chair opposite of Ruby, listening to the entire situation that her sister found herself in, while she simultaneously checked her surroundings looking at the eloquence of the office and trying to determine the strength of the mysterious figure that wrecked her Aura. Hel just overlooked the duo while she sat in the office chair waiting for her man to appear.
The moment the Devil and his crew entered the room, Yang turned to them and glared slightly, perfectly contradictory to Ruby whose face lit up with excitement. “Hey Redman! What’s up with that dual scythe in the masks mouth? Is it yours? Is it like a back up or something? Maybe a prototype? It doesn’t look like a very strong weapon at all, but maybe it has an interesting story behind it!”
“Man, she really likes weapons, especially scythes” he thought as he walked into the room, passed the sisters seats, and sat into the seat that Hel just hopped out of. To the surprise of the duo, Hel then plopped back down onto her Honey’s lap, swiveling her hips slightly as she snuggled up to him. “Red, I promise we’ll talk about all the weapons you want to later, but right now we’re gonna focus on your sister’s concerns first. Also, this is just a decoration, but I have been thinking about designing a weapon around this general type” Ruby quickly nodded her head as she heard that they’d be able to talk later and she watched as the other people walked into the room, sitting down in their specialized chairs.
Yang looked on at the four chairs that the man’s underling sat into, her eyes naturally wandering to the largest man’s bloodied chair and his prosthetic arm, curiosity suddenly getting the better of her. “I don’t plan on opening up to people I don’t know. I’d much rather this be a one-on-one thing, not the master and his pets” she said disrespectfully to rouse a reaction out of those present. However, much to her surprise, none of them reacted negatively, in fact, the largest man that she knew to be Junior looked kind of happy at the statement.
“I guess some introductions are in order then,” Hel began, “how about you all introduce yourselves” she said, motioning to the quartet.
“Hi, like, I’m Melanie Malachite! You’ve probably already heard of me before” the woman in the icy blue and white dress announced happily.
“I’m Melanie’s twin sister, Miltia Malachite! I would say nice to meet you, but you seem kinda… aggressive, lacking a lot of class, and I don’t really like that. However, you seem pretty cool Ruby!” the woman in the red and black said.
“I’m Hei Xiong, but I go by Junior now. I don’t appreciate the way you refusing to be patient for the Boss to arrive, but since it seems he tolerates you I’ll give you, my respects.”
“I’m Z, sorry about slamming you against the floor and hittin you and all that, I was just trying to make sure you didn’t break to much stuff. It’s very nice to meet you miss Yang and miss Ruby,” said the Faunus.
“I’m Ruby Rose! I think you all look really cool and its very nice to meet all of you! Especially Redman!” The four elites look questioningly at the name she gave the Boss, but since the Boss and the Mistress didn’t react, they ignored it. After Ruby’s energetic introduction, everyone’s attention turned to the only person in the room who had yet to give an introduction. “Yang, come on introduce yourself! We’re all waiting!”
The golden-haired woman rolled her eyes slightly before starting, “I’m Yang Xiao Long.” That was all she said, and Ruby refused to accept that as an introduction.
“Don’t you have anything else to say Yang?”
“Fine. Why does Junior’s chair have dry blood on it?” For some reason everyone in the room got the vibe that that’s not the addition that Ruby wanted to here when she asked if she had anything else to say. However, Junior gladly answered the woman’s sudden question.
“The first day I met the Boss, funnily enough the same day the Boss became the Boss, I said some horrific, terrible, racist things about the Faunus and as I sat in this chair and said that I didn’t realize that I had said anything wrong. So, the Boss rightfully punished me for my prejudice by cutting off my limb, showing me how the Faunus are forced to live, essentially, with a single arm as they try to succeed in today’s world. So, I take pride in sitting in this chair as a reminder that I made a terrible mistake, but the Boss allowed me to see my mistake, and learn from it.” As she finished listening to the man’s explanation, she went wide eyed in surprise that a gangster would campaign that hard for the Faunus.
Yang couldn’t vocalize her amazement, but Ruby was thinking the same thoughts and instantly voiced her thoughts. “Wow, you really are a good guy Redman. I knew it! I told you Yang” she yelled as she turned to her sister.
Yang couldn’t help but soften her negative thoughts about the masked man behind the tall glass desk, but she refused to let it show. “Maybe he is a semi-reliable person… maybe he can actually help me out. Sure,” even as she had positive thoughts about him, the only thing she said was a monotone, sarcastic ‘sure’, that slightly irritated the Devil’s crew.
“I definitely wasn’t thinking about all that, I was just mad as fuck that he said some racist shit to my face, but if it helped than it helped. Let’s not forget about what brought us here in the first place. Yang, I’m here to help you, so lay anything you got on me and I’ll try my best to assist.”
The comforting tone of the man’s voice softened her heart slightly, and she reached into her cleavage to pull out a small picture. After looking at the image for a moment, she tossed it to the man who perfectly caught it in between his fingers. “I’m looking for the whereabouts of this woman. I’ve been searching for her for what feels like forever and once I arrived in Vale, I started beating people up asking for answers, but… I never got any” she said while looking slightly down. “Eventually someone told me that if anyone was to know anything it’d be Junior, but he was a Mafia leader, held up in his own club with hundreds of men, you know the usual stuff. I eventually shook him enough to tell me about this club and I of course immediately headed here to hopefully get some answers. I got really impatient when the ‘know it all’ man seemingly didn’t know anything at all, so I got mad and started punching things. I-I’m…sorry bout that” she mumbled out the last part, but (Y/N) heard it loud and clear.
“Don’t worry about it, I know the feeling and I know how frustrating it can be to finally feel like you’re getting somewhere, but then get that stabbing feeling in your chest when you get shutdown. Well, my experience is a little more literal, but it’s the same idea” he thought as he reminisced about his time in the parking garage.
The demon’s words really touched Yang’s heart and for a moment she felt as though this man really understood her, “yeah its very frustrating.” For a moment the two of them remained silent, thinking about the pain that the experience brought them, before Yang suddenly shook the negativity from her mind, and turned her attention back to the masked man with the woman on his lap. “So, I was really hoping you could help me out. She’s…” Yang stopped herself before she allowed the words to leave her mouth, and she quickly changed what she was going to say, “important to me. Or at least I think she is. Do you know anything?” She asked the question desperately, hanging onto the thing she saw as the last bit of hope she had to find her mother.
(Y/N) took a moment to inspect the image before deciding to tell Yang everything he knew about the woman in the picture. “This may alter things a lot, but I don’t really care, Yang deserves to know. I do know who this woman is” the instant those words left his mouth, Yang immediately stood up in excitement.
“You do?!?”
Seeing her joyful expression brought a massive smile to (Y/N)’s face and he couldn’t help but let his smile show through his voice as he spoke. “Yang you don’t gotta get too excited, sit down, I’ll tell you everything I know” he said as he chuckled slightly.
Yang then recognized how she was standing and how everyone’s attention was on her, so she quickly sat back down, but her eyes were still plastered on the man in front of her. “Sorry about that” she said embarrassingly.
“Don’t worry about it, I understand your excitement” he exclaimed, smiling with his words. “This woman’s name is Raven Branwen,” the instant Yang heard her mother’s name tears began forming in her eyes, but she refused to allow them to fall, instead channeling that emotion into listening to the masked man’s words. “She’s the older twin sister of Qrow Branwen,” that name forced Ruby’s attention onto the Redman.
“You know Uncle Qrow!?!” she said shocked at the man’s words, but as she saw everyone’s eyes on her, she quickly realized her mistake. “Sorry, please continue.”
“Right. She’s a monstrously strong woman, formerly a phenomenal huntress a part of a legendary team of Huntsman, Team STRQ. The members of this team were Summer Rose, Taiyang Xiao Long, Raven Branwen, and Qrow Branwen.
“Mom/Mother!” Both girls immediately thought as they heard their mothers’ names.
“Not much is really known about this group of Huntsman, all that’s known publicly is that they existed at some point and that’s not exactly an accident. However, that’s neither here nor there, the group eventually split up and Raven returned to her roots with the others remaining fairly close.”
“What do you mean her roots?” Yang asked innocently, wondering where the man was going with his explanation.
“Well that Yang, is where you’ll find the answer to your question. Raven Branwen returned to the bandit tribe that she and her brother grew up in, the Branwen Tribe.” He took a moment to let the information sink in for the duo until he continued. “Raven is the current leader and head of the Branwen Tribe, and that is where you will find her.”
Yang’s mouth hung ajar for a moment before speaking up, “I’m not even gonna ask how you know all this, but do you know where that tribe is now?”
(Y/N) let out a long exhale before continuing, “that’s the problem Yang. The Branwen Tribe isn’t in or around this city at all, in fact it’s not even on this continent. Raven Branwen is on Anima, not Sanus.” The information felt like a stab to Yang’s heart, and she took it roughly, depressingly laying back down in the soft chair and staring up at the ceiling.
“I’ve been shooting in the dark for so fucking long! The moment I got some hope, the lights get turned on for a moment, I realized that she’s literally a million miles away.” The tears that weld up in Yang’s eyes threatened to fall for a moment before anger suddenly overtook her and she suddenly bursted into flames and screamed, “FUCK!”
After the quick burst of rage, Yang forcefully calmed herself down, now just sitting depressingly in her chair. “I know that it may seem like she’s insanely far away but trust me when I say that kind of distance is nothing to her.”
Yang’s depressive mood was broken for a moment, “what do you mean?”
“Well, rumor has it that Raven’s Semblance allows her to teleport through a portal like structure to anyone she has close ties with, that’s a little on the nose but fuck it we’ll run with it, and I believe that if your close enough to her, then if you’re in danger she’ll probably show. If not, then you could always just travel to the other continent and follow their trail of destruction to find her.”
“Yeah, I guess your right. I highly doubt that she’d ever show up for me, but if I ever really wanna see her I could take the time to travel to Anima. Thanks for the help, Redman, I really appreciate it. I guess Ruby was right, you’re not that bad of a guy” she said with a small smile as she stared at the ceiling.
“Wait! Mr. Redman sir, you’re really, really, smart and stuff and it seems like you know a lot of stuff, so I wanna know if you know anything about my mom! My dad told me that she died fighting Grimm when I was little, but for some reason I always felt that he was wrong! Normally when I get a feeling I’m right and this one is really strong! Do you know if Summer Rose is alive or not?”
“I…” (Y/N) paused for a moment, thinking about what to say. “I didn’t like Rwby very much when I watched it, but I always listened to the music because it was so good. Even in the songs it always seemed like Summer just went missing, not died fighting Grimm, and I feel like the show hinted at that as well, but there’s never been any real indication that it was the case. So, what do I say? I guess I could just be honest.” (Y/N) took a moment to completely compile his thoughts before he spoke and once, he was ready, he cleared his throat before he began. “I don’t truly know” as the words left his mouth Ruby got a little depressive, but he then continued speaking. “I don’t know, but as far as I know she’s missing not dead. I don’t really know the details, but I have my suspicions that there is a little more mystery that goes into Summer’s disappearance then one might think.”
Ruby immediately lit up, “so you’re saying there’s a chance?!?”
“A chance? No.” Ruby’s mood dampened again, “I’m saying that its highly probable. And I promise that I’ll find out for sure for you.”
“You’re the best Redman! Yang, isn’t he the best!”
Yang rolled her eyes slightly, “yeah I guess he’s alright.”
“Yang! That’s not what I asked! I said he was amazing, and he was the best ever, and he’s the smartest man ever! Isn’t he amazing, smart, and the best?!?!”
(Y/N) watched on at the excited girls joyful exchange, “that’s not what you asked the first time Ruby. Why does she always just add stuff like nobody is gonna notice?” he chuckled slightly at the thought, but he continued to keep his mouth closed as the girls rode out their excitement.
The girls spent the rest of the night talking with the group, with Ruby discussing/fanning over the various weapons that the twins had on their wrists and feet, and Yang trying to iron out any details about her mother with (Y/N) and talking a bit with Z about there short bout that ended in a confusing draw. After an hour of talk, Yang forcibly dragged Ruby out of the club, much to the dissent of said girl who really wanted to stay and talk more with (Y/N) and the rest of them. Before they left however, Yang gave Redman a personal thankyou with a soft punch on the shoulder and Ruby expressed her thanks with a warm embrace that he of course reciprocated, and they promised to come back again. (Y/N) found the whole exchange a little funny considering he was going to the same place as them later that night/morning, but he still hugged them like they wouldn’t see each other for another ten years.
After they left, the rest of them continued to talk about the upcoming events that they had planned for the weekend, catching Z up to speed on the plans and what not. They discussed a lot about the importing Dusts suits that were coming the following day while also talking a bit about the new names that were necessary for the forming clan. As the discussion continued onwards, the sun slowly began rising over the horizon, signifying to (Y/N) that it was time for him to make his exit. After giving his quick goodbyes, him and his furry partner teleported out of the building, through the streets, and up the mountain that Beacon was on top of. As he slipped smoothly back into his spot in between the girls he found himself staring up at the ceiling before he allowed himself to mentally rest for an hour. “Damn, what a long ass night.”
