Chapter 6: Friendly and Unfriendly Faces
(Yang's POV)
Currently in Anima, I made a pit stop at a convenient store, just for a water; no Strawberry Sunrise this time.
Bartender: Aren't you a little young to be drinking?
My thoughts: Bitch, I'm 18... I'm legal...
Me: *takes off sunglasses* A water is fine. It's hot out.
Bartender: Ooohhh... Sure.
We went off to get the water but unfortunately, some creepy guy decided to start hitting on me... again...
Creep: Are you telling me, YOU'RE too young to drink?
My thoughts: At least we agree on one thing...
Creep: You looks like a regular Huntress, and a beauty at that.
My thoughts: Great...
Me: I'm good. Thanks pal.
Creep: Seriously, not too bulky, not too lean... You're-
Me: Just right. Yep. Like I said, I'm good.
He moved closer to me and began reaching for... Wait... OH HELL NAH!
Creep: And your hair.
My thoughts: OKAY! HE WANTS TO GET A TOOTH KNOCKED OUT!
I grabbed his arm before glaring at him with my red eyes. Then, I do what I do, I punched the shit out of him, sending him flying out of the store and knocking a tooth out.
Bartender: This one's on the house. He's been driving me crazy.
I silently reached for the water but then my left hand began trembling... I grabbed it with my prosthetic arm and took a deep breath in before taking the water and flicking the tap off so I could start drinking.
Bartender: So what brings you round these parts?
I held a finger up for him to wait until I finished. When I was, I put my finger down and faced him.
Me: I'm... looking for someone.
Bartender: Not many people come out here; too far from the Kingdoms. Only person worth notin round here it...
Me: Raven Branwen. Thanks again.
I began to walk out.
Bartender: Wait, you don't wanna go messing with bandits! They're a world of trouble!
Me: So, I've heard.
I put back on my sunglasses as I mounted Bumblebee and revved it... until...
Creep: Hey, girlie.
My thoughts: Are you FUCKING kidding me!?
Me: Seriously? This isn't over?
Creep: I heard... you're looking for someone...
"I AM HER DAUGHTER, AFTER ALL"
CHAPTER 6: FRIENDLY AND UNFRIENDLY FACES
(Yang's POV)
So I decided to take the creep up on his offer. Yes, I know it's a trap of some sort, but eh, if he wants to get pummeled, he'll get it, tenfold.
Me: How much farther pal?
Creep: This should just about it.
I broke in an open are surrounded by trees, which was a perfect place for an ambush.
Creep: You wait here. I'll go up ahead and make sure the coast is clear.
My thoughts: Sure...
I lowered my glasses slightly just to eye him and shake my head. I got off Bumblebee and stretched before taking off my gloves, and other accessories, until I heard the wonderful sound of a gun cocking, then I blocked a bullet with my prosthetic. I looked over to see the creep walking towards me smug, with some more bandits behind him.
Creep: I can't believe you were dumb enough to let me lead you here.
Me: Is this everyone?
Creep: Yes, little lady. This is it. Well, unless you want to count the whole rest of the camp back that way. *points behind him*
Me: That way?
Creep: Yes. That way.
Me: Good to know. Thanks.
Creep: Now to pay me back for this tooth, we're going to take your bike. And you are you're going to take your lumps.
Seeing as there's no way out of this, I prepared myself as Ember Celica unfolded onto my left arm, shocking the bandits.
Creep: You got the jump on me last time sweetheart, but you ought think twice about fighting all-
A small cannon popped out of my prosthetic arm, shocking them further.
Bandits: Huh!?
Creep: ...Alright... Get her!
The first one began to charge me as I walked up to him. He tried to kick me but I blocked with a kick of my own before sweeping his legs from underneath him and then punched him into the ground. Another tried to attack me from behind but I dodged his swing by back flipping and then back handing him in the leg before kicking him away. Then I blocked some bullets from the other bandits with my prosthetic before I charged one of them and double kicked them before sending myself towards three and break-dance kicked them all away.
This girl tried charging me and throwing a punch but I dodged and punched her back before another Bandit tried to attack me from behind with a machete. Unfortunately for him, I blocked it with my prosthetic and upper cut him away before I turned to the creep who led me here and stomped on his left foot before kicking his chin. Three bandits tried sneaking up on me but I kicked them all in their faces. While I was preoccupied with them, the creep tried shooting me with his gun but I narrowly dodged it and glared at him. He tried shooting again but it jammed. As he franticly tried to un-jam his gun I backhanded two bandits in the face before I launched myself towards the creep to give him the grand finale. As I got close, he tried slashing me with the blade strapped to the bottom of the handle but I pointed Ember Celica's barrel to the ground and fired, sending me over him. Once I landed, I punched him directly back, with full force; this battle... was over...
As my weapons retracted, my left arm began shaking again, but... I managed to control it and calm my fears...
Creep: Who are you...? It doesn't even matter... When Raven finds out what you did, you're dead!
Me: Possibly, but I doubt it. I AM her Daughter, after all.
Creep: ...I'm dead...
(3rd Person POV)
After learning that Yang was the daughter of Raven Branwen, the creepy man and the rest of the bandits decided to 'escort' her to her mother. As she entered the camp, she was greeted with many glares from the surrounding bandits but she didn't care. All she cared about, was getting her mother to cooperate with her. Speaking of who, Raven was patiently waiting Yang arrival near the back of the camp.
Yang: Mom.
Raven: *takes off mask* Yang. So after all this time, you finally decided to visit me.
Yang's left hand began to sake again but she stopped it with her prosthetic.
Yang: You know that I searched for you. I spent years looking for you.
Raven: And you've found me. You were patient, determined, and strong enough to make your dream a reality. Well done Yang, but did you have to be so rough with my men?
Yang: I didn't want a fight. They started it.
Raven: Well, you certainly finished it.
. . .
Raven: Right, I'm sure this is all very overwhelming, but I must admit that you're proven yourself. So any questions you have I'll be happy to answer. You can stay with us tonight, I'll even have the cooks whip up something for you.
Yang: That's not why I'm here.
Raven: *slightly irritated* What was that?
Yang: I'm not here for you. Ruby is somewhere in Mistral. She's with Qrow and hopefully Dairoku, and she's going to need my help. I just need you to take me to her.
Raven's eyes slightly widen at the mention of Dairoku.
Raven's thoughts: He recovered that quickly...??? I might have underestimated Athena's healing abilities...
Raven: *regaining composure* And why would I do that?
Yang: Because we're family.
Raven: Family... Only coming around when they need something... I have to say, I'm disappointed. After all, you found me, didn't you? Why not take that drive and use it to find your little sister if she means that much to you?
Yang: Because you're going to save me time. Ruby was heading to Mistral, but there's no guarantee she's made it there. Looking for her in Anima could take ages. But... Dad told me how your Semblance works.
Raven: Tai...
Yang: You can bond to certain people, and when you do, you can create a portal that takes you straight to them. You've had one for Dairoku's dad, you have one for my dad, one for Dairoku's uncle, one for Lucy, one for me... and you've got one for Qrow. He promised me he'd watch out for Ruby before he left, and I trust him. So, make a portal to my uncle and sister, and I'll be on my way.
Raven: You know... it takes real strength to march in here and demand such a favor from me. I've got to say, I'm impressed. It's very noble to want to help out your sister, but if she's with Qrow, then she's already a lost cause.
Yang: What does that mean?
Raven: You don't want to get mixed up in all of that, Yang. Ozpin is not the man you think he is, and Qrow is a fool for trusting him. I would know, I trusted him once too.
Yang: I don't care what you think.
Raven: Your choice is your own. All I'm suggesting is that instead of getting wrapped up in something too big for you, for any of us, that maybe you should take a moment to wonder if you're already where you belong.
Yang: Save your breath. You can spout off whatever you want, but nothing is going to keep me from my sister.
Raven: Well, aren't you stubborn.
Yang: I get it from my mom.
Raven: Well, if that's how you feel, then it sounds like we're done here. Take her away.
The bandits slowly began to crowd around Yang as she looked at her mother, her eyes red like her own.
Yang: Did you not hear me!? I said send me to Qrow Damnit!
Bandit: That's enough! You watch your mouth in front of our leader!
Yang: ...Make me.
The Bandit charged Yang but she dodged his attack and punched him, sending him flying back into a tent which collapsed, revealing Weiss and Kuraime in a cage.
Weiss and Kuraime: Yang!?
Yang: Weiss!? Kuraime!?
Kuraime: ...Well damn, I guess we should, as Dairoku says it, YEET all subtlety out of the window.
The two turned to their miniature Arma Gigas and Catastros as they slowly began to grow causing the cage to completely shatter. The two partners ran over to Yang along with their now giant knights, and all got into fighting stances as the bandits surrounded them.
Yang: What are those?
Kuraime: Don't worry about it.
Weiss: What are you doing here?
Yang: Well, that's *gesturing to Raven* my mom and she can take us to Ruby.
Raven: Ugh.
Kuraime: Wait... WAIT! RAVEN'S YOUR MOM!?
Yang: YOU KNOW MY MOM!?
Weiss: YOU'RE MOM KIDNAPPED US!?
Yang: *turns to Raven* YOU KIDNAPPED THEM!?
Yang, Weiss, Kuraime, The Arma Gigas and Catastros prepared to attack the tribe when suddenly, lightning struck right in front of them
Vernal: ENOUGH!
Raven: Thank you Vernal. If you people don't keep it together, this place will be crawling with Grimm.
Kuraime: Tell that to your lackeys Raven.
Raven: Ugh... *turns to Vernal* Give the girls their weapons back.
Vernal looked at her surprised before reluctantly throwing Myrtenaster towards Weiss who caught it. Then she struggled to lift up Poison Ivy but once she did, she sent it hurling towards Kuraime, who simply caught it with one hand, irritating the bandit.
Vernal's thoughts: How the hell does she lift that heavy thing with such ease!?
Raven: You three, in my tent. Now.
Yang: Why?
Raven: If you're really going after your sister, then you need to know the truth.
She entered the tent as the bandits slowly began to leave.
Yang: Sorry about-
Yang was suddenly cut off by Weiss, hugging her tightly.
Weiss: I missed you so much!
Yang: *smiles* I missed you too.
As the two teammates hugged it out, the Arma Gigas and Catastros both disintegrated into white and black particles. Kuraime just smiled at their reunion before looking down in sadness; she wondered... if she'll ever reunite with her team again... if Dairoku was okay...
Yang: Kuraime.
Slightly startled, she looked up, and saw Yang walking towards her.
Kuraime: Y-Yang... I-
She was cut off by Yang pulling her into a tight hug, causing her to suddenly drop her Poison Ivy...
Yang: I missed you, ya'know?
Kuraime just let her emotions take over as tears began falling from her eyes and she began to cry into Yang's shoulder, hugging her tightly...
Kuraime: I missed... I missed you too...! A lot...!
Yang chuckled and began to rub the back of Kuraime's head as Weiss smiled from the sidelines. As they broke the hug, Kuraime wiped her tears away before realizing something...
Kuraime: W-Wait! Do you know what happened to Dairoku!? Is he...
Yang just smirked.
Yang: Let's just say, he's risen back up from his ashes.
