Location: Dust til Dawn
POV: Dracos Ironclad
I was looking at magazines in a random aisle, I could hear some girl talking to herself.
"Hmm- ooh that's a cool one!" she said, her voice filled with excitement, I started tuning her out and walked up to the front, I saw a man in a white button-up shirt and black pants, wearing a bowler hat and holding a mostly gray cane, with some red bits on the handle and leg, he pulls his cigar out of his mouth as more men follow in behind him
I walk back not wanting to deal with them, "Do you have any idea, how hard it is to find a dust shop open this late?" I hear him say as he pulls out a gun, making most of the people flee the scene, as I'm walking back the girl is just reading aloud as if nothing is happening, but before I can say anything I hear a sword unsheathe
"Hey! Put your hands where I can see 'em!" He shouts, I don't move, and neither does the girl, but I can tell she doesn't even know what's going on, I can faintly hear Music playing from her direction which tells me everything
"You two got a death wish or something!?" He puts his hand on her shoulder startling the girl, she turns around taking off her bright red hood, he points to his ear in frustration, signaling she should take off her headphones, "Yes?" She asks as she takes off her headphones music can still be heard from them
"I said put your hands up, you too kid!" He points his sword at me as I slowly turn around not raising my hands "Are you... Robbing us?" She asks
"Yes!" He yells in anger, "ohhhh" She says when out of nowhere she pulls out something from behind her cape as she kicks him into a wall, she then disappears as a trail of red and rose petals are left behind
Assuming that red trail is her using her semblance, she crashes through the window, not wanting to destroy any more property I jump out the same window, and I see her slowly stand up from her place in the middle of the street, pulling out the same object from earlier as it begins expanding, when the transformation is complete, I can easily tell it's a scythe, very bright red and black, I notice a scope and a magazine on the handle of the scythe, obviously a gun too, most likely a sniper judging by the shape
A bunch of the same men come out and charge at us, I instantly dodge their attacks and land a punch on one, noticing it only stunned him and was ineffective, so I started punching my fists together as I noticed the girl using the shots from her weapon to push herself in certain directions, after enough punching, I manage to land a hit on his face instantly knocking him out
The girl got all of the other men with tremendous speed, but then that man in the bowler hat came outside
"Well Red, Emo, I think that this..." I don't pay attention to his insult, as he crushes his cigar and points his cane at us
"Is where we part ways" The end of his cane flips open to reveal a scope, and he shoots a flare at us, we both are coughing and look at our surroundings as the purple smoke dissipates
We look around and notice the man climbing up the side of a nearby building, the girl and I manage to get up there before he escapes
"Hey!" She yells as he stops, he looks over his shoulder "Persistent." He mumbles, I was going to catch him until a bullhead flies out of cover, he climbs in the open door, "End of the line Red!" He yells as he grabs a vile of fire dust and chucks it at us
He shoots it and we brace ourselves, only to hear the explosion but never feel it, we look up to see a blonde woman in black and white with a riding crop holding up a forcefield, she adjusts her glasses as the red hooded girl looks on in amazement
The woman starts using her semblance to grab the debris and throw it at the bullhead, bowler hat goes to the cabin as a woman in a red dress with golden designs on it comes out, she moves her hand as some kind of light appears beneath us as it explodes, both the girls dodge but when the smoke clears I'm in a completely different spot from where I was
POV switch: Ruby Rose
I looked over to see if that guy was okay but he wasn't there, he was 10, maybe 15 feet away, I never even saw him move, maybe it was just the smoke in the way? I'm not sure
We all began to attack the bullhead and the woman but it got away, only for the guy from earlier to raise his hand, the bullhead struggles to move forward as he begins pulling his arm towards himself, strain evident on his face, he lets go as they get away and he drops onto one knee, clearly out of breath from that, I look to the woman who helped us
"Wow, you're a huntress!" I say in excitement, the boy still out of breath, I walk over to check on him but he raises his hand, stopping me before I can get close
Location: Interrogation room
POV switch: Dracos Ironclad
"I hope you two understand your actions tonight won't be taken lightly," the huntress says when the girl in the hood speaks up "They started it!" She shouts "If it were up to me I'd send you home with a pat on the back..." The huntress says as the girl's face lights up
The huntress looks at the girl for a moment "And a slap on the wrist!" She continues, slapping her riding crop on the table
I barely even move as the girl recoils in fright, the woman lets out a sigh as she begins to speak yet again "But... Someone wishes to speak with you both" As she says that an old man comes in, he is wearing dark green colored robes, and glasses, and holding a coffee mug, as well as a plate of cookies.
"Ruby Rose, Dracos Ironclad...." He begins, he looks at her eyes intently "You have silver eyes" She begins to look uncomfortable as I snap my fingers in an attempt to get his attention "And why am I here?" I ask as he looks right at me "For the same reason as young Ms. Rose" he pauses for a moment, looking at my eyes, his own widen for a moment "Golden eyes..."
I only look at him in confusion as he turns to Ruby
"So..." He begins, and I glare at the mysterious man "Where did you two learn to do this?" The huntress pulls out some sort of tablet-looking device as she turns it to us, Ruby pulling badass moves and me one-punching the one thug
"Signal academy" Ruby states "Classified" I aggressively said, "They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" He says in slight shock, I just look at her "Well, one teacher in particular" she states, glancing at me, smiling, and turning back to him "I see.." he sets the cookies down as Ruby eats one cautiously, then begins scarfing the rest. I grab a cookie and take my time with it "It's just that I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before, a dusty old crow" Ruby slightly choked on a cookie before uttering "Thash mah umcle!!" with her mouth full, she swallows her cookies having eaten all but one I assume was left for me. "Eh-! Sorry- That's my uncle Qrow!" She repeats more clearly
I take the cookie and eat it as I watch the situation unfold. "I was complete GARBAGE before he took me under his wing, but now I'm all like-" she mimics karate moves and sounds, didn't think karate existed here but there's a chance for everything.
"I see.." He pauses before turning to me as I finish off the last cookie "And what of you, Mr Ironclad? I would expect no less in terms of skill from the ironclad knight."
WOOO CLIFFHANGER!! Sorry to do that to y'all and especially for the long wait, I've got plenty on my plate so updates will be extremely rare, LOVE Y'ALL! PEACE!!
