Me and Ruby are in the Schools forge and right now we are working on my new weapons. Me and ruby are looking at the remains of my arsenal and both of our ears twitch in annoyance and anticipation. "So, are you wanting a mix of them all or separate weapons" Ruby says and I give moment to think. "We'll go separate weapons, I'd like to keep it simple yet effective." I say and she nods I. Approval. We separate the weapons and decide to start on my pistols.

Ruby looks at the damage and begins removing unusable components. "The chamber is broken, so is the cylinder and catch mechanism. They'll have to be scrapped. The barrel will have to get modified and any transform features will have to be removed." She explains and I nod. "Ok, hardly use their knife function anyways." I say and she nods. I then look at what is left and an idea comes to mind. "What if we make them semi-automatics" I say and she thinks it over. "It would make them lighter, but we can reuse quite a few of the parts. Let's try it." She says with her ears twitching once again. I the. Feel something brush up against my leg and I stare shocked... Ruby has a Tail. "Ruby, you have a tail." I say and she looks at it. "Wow, you just noticed. I guess you need to work on your perception," She says and I grumble in annoyance with my own tail swaying behind me.

She removes all the unwanted parts as I examine my gloves and sword.'hmm, maybe I could reforge Bloodmoore, it seems that I could.' I say to myself as the demons decide to intervene. "I believe an upgrade is in order." Diablo states and Azmodan continues. "Dialon, place a Soulstone in the box and imbue it with your demonic power" I do as ordered and place Diablo's Soulstone in the box which makes the pieces react to it. "Excellent, now heat it with your hellfire and strike it with demonic lightning." Mephisto continues in which I do and Ruby only takes notice and comes up to me. "Dialon, what are you doing." She asks and I shrug. "This is their idea, not mine." I say as I pour more power into the hellfire and lightning. I see a bright red light shine out of the box and Diablo finishes the instructions. "Now hold you hand out into the light and take hold of your new weapon to slaughter your enemies with." I hold my hand out and I see a sword grasped in my palm.

Ruby gawks at the sword as I swing it around a bit. "Hmm, not bad. I'll take it." I say and Ruby sands there ears and tail near straight. "How did you repair it." She asks and I shrug. "I just followed their advice and I got this, to complaining though." I say and she can't seem to make a counter-argument. "Now she just needs a name...How does Rebellion sound" I say and she nods with absolute agreement, "that name suites it better than any I could make" I smirk and look at the gunsmith table,"So, how are the new guns coming along." I say and she takes me to them. "Say hello to your new guns, Ebony and Ivory!"

I look at the guns and smirk. "Nice, who are the girls on the grips" I ask and she chuckles. "Oh, well I decided to put myself on the guns." She says but I can tell she's hiding something. "And who is the other, is she your mom" I ask and her mood drops immediately. Realising what I said I immediately apologise. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you" she then hugs me and begins to cry. "Sorry, it's just I miss her" she says and I take her to a seat. "Want to talk about it" I suggest expecting her to decline but to my surprise she does.

"When I was 4, my mom went on a mission to clear out some Grimm. She knew it would take a while, about a week, but when she didn't return after about 1 month. She was considered dead. Dad tried to force them to look for her but they didn't. I still cling onto the hope for her to be alive." She says and I rub her back and ears. "Don't worry, I'm sure she's fine." I say but then I realise something. "Wait, Ruby I want you to think of her and think hard." I say and she looks confused. "Why?" She asks and I begin to explain. "Look, if this goes right I might be able to get a reading on her location if she is alive" I say and she immediately shoots up. "Okay" She then closes her eyes and I peer into her mind.

I look through seeing how she looked and key features. She is similar to Ruby but wears a White cloak and different hair style. "Okay Ruby now I want you to release those emotions all at once." I say and she opens her eyes which immediately glow silver. I use my demonic influence to tap into those eyes and look for other silver eyed warriors. And as luck would have it. I find 2. One leads to an old woman in Mistral. I check the other which leads to a black castle. Further lookin* shows a prison in which Summer arose is chained up look ing like she was dragged backwards through Hell itself.

I relinquish my influence and return to my body as Ruby's eyes stop glowing. "Well, what happened" she said and I look somewhat remorseful. "She's alive, barely. She's being held captive by who I assume is Salem" I say and Ruby growls at the mention of her name but widens realises her mom is alive. Tears leak out her eyes as she holds onto me for dear life. "Thank you, thank you, thank you.!" She exclaims as I hug her back. "Don't think I'm done." I say and she backs up. "I'll make sure she gets back home safe." I say and she nods wiping her tears away. I stand up and go to my gloves. "Now come on, we got one more weapon to fix, and I think a bit of demonic power is needed." I say and she smiles with a look that rivals a demon.

Timeskip.

Right now I'm in combat class looking at Yang who is my opponent. She cocks her fists back as I stand there. "So, your gonna use these new weapons Ruby's blabbing on about" she says and I smirk. "Well, yes. But only one of them, cuz I think this should be a pure fist fight." I say and she grins in response. "Alright so let's see 'em" she exclaims and I tap into my demonic power which forms a mask over the bottom half of my face, graves on my feet on silver plated gauntlets with red flowing energy coating them.

"Say hello to Gilgamesh" I say and give a quick punch which ignites the air around my fist. Both me and Yang close the distance quickly and we strike each other's fist but she gets knocked back. I had used Azmodan's shard to make thes so they pack a bit of a punch. I then go for and axe kick but she dodges just in time as my kick cracks the ground. She goes for a charge punch but I hold my fist out. She stops an inch away from my fist and I turn to look at her. "And Jackpot" I say as I perform a one inch punch, shattering her aura and i bedding her into a wall. "Dialon wins" Miss Foodwitch says as I go to Yang. "You Alright there" I say as I help break her out and desummon Gilgamesh. "Yeah, that packed a punch didn't it. It also seemed demonic." She says while leaning against me. I chuckle and retort. "Yeah, but come one, they were cool right" we continue to bicker as we walk out the arena.
