Chapter one: a robbery?!
Rand "Edward" Newgate entered a dust/weapon shop, carrying a design blueprint for a weapon.
Inside that shop was a small(to Rand) girl, the person at the counter, and a lot of stock.
All of said stock was going to be in trouble soon.
When he entered, he had to duck under the doorframe, given his large stature.
He was wearing a yellow shirt under his purple coat, said coat was simply hung on his shoulders, letting the sleeves hang loosely without the support of his arms, his pants were baggy and colored a dull brown.
The smith that was managing the counter looked up at the 6' 7" teen due to being around 5' 8"
"Hello welcome to Dust Before Dawn, how can I help you today?," the man said.
"You do custom weapons, right?," Rand asked, getting a nod, "good, can you help me make this?"
He rolled out the blueprint for a giant naginata that only he could ever wield.
"E-eh?! This would be illegal to make! And I don't have the right materials for it!!," the man said.
"Hmph, then let me make it," Rand said, getting a No from the clerk.
"Wait, illegal weapon??!!!," the girl in the corner asked, appearing next to Rand almost instantly, shocking him.
"Yes... how could you help me?," he asked.
"I go to Signal! They have everything to make this! And I made a much more complex thing than this!," she said, her red hood falling off to reveal a fifteen-year-old with red and black hair, silver eyes, and a fascination with weaponry, as well as... something more... occult.
"Worshipper of a dark lord?," he asked.
"Yes!! Are you a fellow membe-" she started.
"No, also, what's your name? Mine is Rand Newgate," Rand said.
"Ruby Rose, nice to meet you," she said.
The clerk noticed men in black suits entering the building and pointed.
The two customers scooted over and continued until they heard: "GET'CHO ASS ONE THE GROUND. NOW!"
Rand instead punched the man, sending the robber flying as Ruby got out her giant mechanical scythe.
"I see what you meant by complex," he said.
"Yeah," she replied.
They then attacked, the robbers stood no chance until...
"You were worth every penny, which wasn't much," a man in a white suit and black bowler hat said, leaning on his cane.
A bubble of white energy formed around Rand's hand as he prepares to attack when suddenly-
"Take this!," the sharp-dressed man said, punching towards the pair as his arm turned to magma and increased in size.
Rand got in front of Ruby and threw his own punch, creating a hot wind and causing cracks to form in the air and on the magma-man's magmafied arm.
"You're strong, kid," the guy said, letting Rand win.
"Thanks for the compliment, you are too," Rand said.
"I'll come back when we're both stronger, but until then, I'm Roman Torchwick," Roman said.
"Rand Newgate," Rand said before Roman then made his escape, jumping onto a rooftop.
Rand and Ruby both began to follow him up to the roof, he then jumped into a bullhead that... appeared... he threw them a red crystal and shot it.
"See you later, Rand and red!," he shouted as the thing exploded, Rand prepared to defend himself and Ruby but a purple wall blocked it.
"Ho-kay, time to leave!," the burglar said as the airship flew away while a blonde woman in a uniform tried to attack the bullhead.
"Allow me," Rand said, powering up one of his abilities and throwing a quake-ball at the fleeing bullhead, the ball was intercepted by a lava punch from Roman.
"You two are in very deep trouble," the blonde woman said.
"Maybe, maybe," Rand said, sniffling in between the maybes.
