Escape From Remnant: A Tarkov X RWBY Crossover

Chapter 36.2: Shootout Picnic

Ruby's mind was as if a fog had been placed directly into her cranium. The pain was constantly beating against where that sharp pain had hit at the back of her head. An enternal headache for pushing up on her own too far. Despite it all she could see and feel what was happening around her somewhat, she was being dragged through the extensive lab set up by the arms with her poor feet trudging along atop the railway track stone even having some glass shards embedded into her calfs. Clearly, her kidnappers had no care for her actual safety and comfort, like she could feel it anyway due to the fog in her mind.

But there was a change in scenery from what she could make out, one so drastic that the mad headache in her mind couldn't cloud. It went from the research area to then a dark tunnel for a while until finally she could make out another train station and a rather big one at that. It was the kind of train station that had multiple platforms with tracks on each side side by side of each other for as far as the eye could see all connected by underground passageways that ran under the tracks.

The lights were on at full power, and there were people everywhere with the infrastructure to support it, all wearing white garb and grimm masks. Well, I guess she found where the criminals were, but not like she could do anything about it given her state. It seemed they were planning something. On all the platforms and tracks, there were no trains except for one that was bulky with welded metal plate armour onto the engine.

Several train cars were attached to the engine, and people were loading various items onto said cars, some requiring the use of pulleys or cranes due to the cargo weight.

It was all a blur, though, and what she was seeing could be a deception. Her assailants dragged her to the feet of someone, some words were exchanged, and she was dragged furthermore to one of the side rooms that was completely barren but a blinding light strung from the ceiling and a chair in the middle. The walls were literally just slabs of cracked streaking grey concrete with no distinguishable features other than that save for a vent on one of the sides. Ruby was forced to her feet and onto the chair, her hands tied around her back and to the chair.

She was then left there, alone in such a state for an unknown amount of time until the door creaked open with several people walking in after. A bucket of dirty cold water was splashed onto her face to shock her awake from the temperature difference.

"Well fancy seeing you red?!" With a sick twisted smile on his face, it was Roman Torchwick's voice with his arms outstretched, one holding his cane.

"You again..." Runy growled with absolute venom in her voice. Beside Roman flanking him on his opposites were 2 white fang bodyguards who didn't look like they wanted to be here. Both looked at each other, trying to figure out who was brave enough to ask Roman if they could leave.

"Yo uh human man, can we go? Yakub should have his pita bread sandwiches ready by now." The one on his right eventually spoke up, and Roman groans at the apparent lack of interest of these men.

"Fine! Close the door on youe way out...useless bunch of fucks..." He made sure the last part was muttered under his breath and his bodyguards left the room closing the door behind them as instructed. Now it was only Ruby and Roman in the room.

"Now...where were we...? Oh right!" Instantly, he smacks Ruby right across the face with his cane, sending her falling over still binded to the chair and a bruise on her left cheek. Upon impact, her aura flashed a bright red, quickly healing the bruise, but the pain still

"You know this thing...Melodic Cudgel. It's made out of cast steel, it has a thickness of about...I don't know but whatever it is it will be well enough to hurt you...severely."

Ruby tried everything she could to loosen the rope tying her to the chair and seeing that if she did not do something now she could be fucked. But the rope would not budge, thinking quickly she decides to use her semblance turning into a burst of rose petals. This demanifestation of her body from its normal physical form freed her, but she did not account for the short distance between her and the door, not allowing her to build up enough momentum to break it open instead slamming headfirst into it.
