After taking Reina and Shiori's cloneblades, it was pretty much over. But seeing as how Ruby hadn't gotten to test herself or acquire any weapons for herself. Yang felt bad, having delegated the babysitter role to her. She knew Ruby was okay with protecting Riko and Masane but with how fast things went, Yang knew their time completing their objective in this world was coming to an end.
Thus, after forcing Hiroki to drive her, Reina and a still unconscious Shiori back to the cafe/residence she left Ruby, Yang called out to her little sister.
"Yo!! Ruby! You wanna take on these last baddies with me!?" Yang yelled into the cafe, seeing a mass of petals slam the door open.
"DO I!? Is that even a question? Are they those tank guys!? I wanna disassemble them so so so bad!" Ruby hyperventilated as she clung to Yang like a koala.
"Nah these are like Witchblade wielders. Just weaker is all." Yang replied, seeing Reina's brows furrow.
Though Reina couldn't deny it. By all means, they were completely outclassed by Yang. She had to be the most compatable host she'd ever seen. She knew the rest of her 'sisters' didn't really stand a chance. Nora, Yeong-Ro Mae, Grace MacCauley, Olive Corey, Wakana Fujikawa and Elena Rubiales were only slightly weaker than her. But something told her that even should they cooperate, they won't succeed.
Reina could only sigh and prepare for the end of the NSWF.
As soon as Yang explained what they'd be fighting, Ruby jumped in the car. Once more, Yang playfully nudged Hiroki to drive them over so she could 'negotiate' with Tatsuoki Furimizu.
"STOP!" The guards demanded as they aimed their pistols at Yang, who covered herself in the Witchblade as she walked beside Ruby and freaked the poor men out.
Ruby's eyes shone as she held the heft of Crescent Rose on her shoulder. Watching Yang's transformation and how Ember Celica changed, she practically vibrated as they walked.
"Oh my GODS! Yang that's so cool! Can I try it!? How would Crescent Rose change!?" Ruby questioned as she spun Crescent Rose and smacked the guards with the blunt end, quickly sending them into unconsciousness.
"Ehh.. Maybe when ya grow up some more. Right now it'd look a bit weird." Yang replied, dashing through the entrance and sending several guards flying, along with glass, furniture and anything else that got in her way.
"Aww.. but I guess I can see why. You're so exposed!" Ruby nodded, her eyes instantly locking in on a woman walking toward them, her body flashing before she was covered in an orange armor similar to Yang's.
"Her too. Oh look.. more." Ruby pointed out, seeing five more women surrounding them, all transforming due to the Cloneblade.
Yang pat her sister on the back and pointed at the woman in orange before encouraging her, "You got that lady, Rubes! I'll take the rest."
Her words seemed to anger all six Cloneblade wielders. Nora, the woman in the orange armor scoffed as her hair formed blades aimed at the sisters.
"Enough of these games. You were stupid enough to wander in here. Now? You'll be studied here, Host of the Witchblade. Restrain her while I kill this one." Nora ordered before dashing at Ruby.
Yang's eyes narrowed dangerously as Nora expressed her desire to kill Ruby. But seeing the smile on her sister's face, even while facing the woman, she smirked and instead focused on the five Cloneblade wielders before her.
*CLAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!*
Nora had swung her bladed arms and hair at Ruby, only to miss as rose petals passed by her. Her strike was met with the blade of her scythe, which had caught her from behind. Ruby had not only dodged her attack, but blocked her blades from behind her and put Nora in a precarious position, with her scythe poised to cut her in half.
*BANG*
Ruby fired Crescent Rose and cut into the armor and Nora's midriff as the scythe blade carried her with its recoil. Ruby spun and used the recoil's momentum to fling Nora through several walls, where she crashed into a lab.
"What.. the hell are you..-Urgh!" Nora asked as she got up, forced to block incoming fire Dust bullets smacking into her.
Usually, bullets wouldn't even scratch her. But Ruby was firing large caliber, explosive incendiary rounds right into her while running straight at her.
Seeing Ruby coming right at her, Nora pushed her body to its limit and swung at the little scythe wielder's midriff.
*SWISH!*
Ruby ducked and slid on her knees with wide eyes before spinning Crescent Rose and catching Nora's foot before pulling and tripping the woman as she reloaded, jumped up and shot Nora in the back, smashing her straight into the wall.
"Me? I'm a Huntress in training!" Ruby smiled and quickly used her semblance to evade the attempted stabbing via Nora's hair blades.
"How are you doing that!!?" Nora screamed as the petals surrounded her before Ruby reappeared in front of her and dropkicked her head, smashing her through the wall and kicking her into the NSWF's halls.
*CRAAASH!!*
Ruby then spun Crescent Rose and rapidly hit a defensive Nora with her scythe's heavy blade, gifting the woman with over a dozen cuts and finishing her off with a flourish and smashing the barrel into her jaw.
*BANG!!*
Nora flew back, armor shattering as she hit the floor. Her body twitching before she was knocked out.
"Haah.. whew! Yang! Yang! I did it!" Ruby called out, seeing her sister drag the unconscious women behind her via the Witchblade's prehensile hair.
"Nice! I knew you could. Lemme just destroy her cloneblade then we'll wrap up." Yang smiled, though it didn't reach her face.
While Ruby had fought Nora, Yang had quickly subdued the others and seen the labs. These women were created artificially, to serve a deluded, perverted madman. Naturally, she was a bit pissed.
Yang touched Nora's Cloneblade and after a small flash of light from the Witchblade, it too crumbled to dust. Seeing the bruise and cuts on her, she smirked and gave Ruby a thumbs up.
"Good job, Sis!" Ruby proudly raised her head with a small blush of embarassment.
"Aww shucks.."
Yang snickered and rubbed the top of her head before continuing down the hall, toward the 'Director' office.
"Hey, Rubes? Stick here a sec. I'm gonna take care of something real quick. I need you to use fire Dust to burn a bunch of their research though. Can ya do that?" Yang asked, glancing back at Ruby.
Ruby saluted and transformed Crescent Rose into rifle form.
"Got it! Arson's okay if it's burning EVIL research!" Ruby cackled before she started blasting.
Leaving her sister to it, Yang walked over to the Director's office, ignoring the lab's workers fleeing from her.
*SLAM!*
Seeing the door she was looking for, Yang watched as a steel plate lowered in front of it. Likely knowing she was coming, Tatsuoki Furimizu was trying to hole up in his office. Seeing the flimsy obstacle in her way, Yang raised her fist and punched the steel plate and door, smashing it straight through the office, where a nervous, shifty-looking old man sat in a seat with a terrified expression.
"How many of those women and kids did you take advantage of and 'breed' to make the perfect host huh?" Yang asked, her voixe low and dangerous as she walked over to him.
"Y-You don't understand.. It's been my dream for so long. I-In fact.. I'm certain if I could impregnate you, our child would-"
*SPLATTER*
Originally, Yang was simply going to pierce his heart and leave him in tact. But after hearing such disgusting words, she immediately split him in half with her arm blade and walked away as two halves of his body oozed blood and collapsed inward.
[Mission Complete! Save Rihoko and Masane Amaha from a tragic fate: Complete 100%]
[Rewards: Witchblade (3rd Artifact: Light side compatable), Magic runes: FATE (Book)]
"Wow! Runes eh..? Maybe Rubes will like them? Enchanting Crescent Rose sounds like somethin' she'd have a seizure over.." Yang muttered, ignoring the gruesome scene she left behind.
After grabbing Ruby, she let Reina and Shiori go before returning to the cafe. After seeing Masane, Rihoko and Yusuke off, Yang and Ruby returned to Remnant with a promise to return and deal with Doji.
-Remnant, current time: Yin-
It was early in the morning after the fight that literally and figuratively shook Vale. Of course, Qrow had called Yin over to look at the scene where the fight took place. Though somewhat unexpected, Yin saw the same young man who had streamed the fight, being questioned by her Uncle. The Vale Police were nearby with the Fire marshalls and ambulances surveying the crime scene.
"So what'd it feel like exactly? This is important, kid." Qrow grumbled.
Yin shook her head with a smirk and walked over, patting her Uncle on the shoulder. "Yo, Unc. What're you doing bothering young men? I was sure you were part of the 'I love MILFS' crew."
The young man nodded in agreement. Qrow clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes.
"This kid caught the fight that made the whole Industrial sector shake on stream." Qrow gestured to the guy, who casually waved.
"Call me Stinkyfard. Actually.. no."
Yin snickered, "Nah that's what I'll call you. So what's going on? What can you tell us?"
The young man put his hands in his hoodie pockets and shrugged, "I was just telling Unc here about the nutty clash at the end. Semblances go crazy huh?"
Qrow shook his head, "What'd you feel exactly at the end there? Describe it."
"Oh uh.. I guess I felt heavy? The redhead baddie beam clashed and the orb thing made everything feel heavy and almost like I'd get pulled toward it. Good enough? I gotta work and I got NO sleep, bro." The young man complained dramatically.
Qrow nodded, "You can head home. Thanks for the info."
Yin tossed the guy a monster energy drink as he left and faced her Uncle, who looked at the impact crater thoughtfully. Of course, she knew what he was thinking. Qrow may be a mage but he still had magic. Over the years, he likely picked up a way to sense magic.
"You feel it, right Yin?" Qrow asked, taking a swig of his flask.
"The magic? Yeah. What kind of magic could do that?" Yin asked, feigning confusion.
Qrow shrugged. Aside from the Maidens, he only knew of Yin, Yang, Salem and Ozpin who could do this. Given Salem's appearance would warrant a national emergency, that ruled her out. And the user was a woman, so that ruled out Ozpin.
"Probably a Maiden then. Maybe Spring.. she does wander Vale from time to time. Or a new one appeared." Qrow sighed and put away his flask.
"So do you wanna go after her then?" Yin asked, raising her brow.
Qrow thought about it for a few seconds. Then he shook his head.
"Nah. She fought against a Mythic Grimm's champion. I'd rather deal with the side dealing with those monsters. As much trouble as a criminal maiden is, I'm more inclined to believe she's at least got honor, given she's not hurt any civilians or cops so far." Qrow explained.
"Hm... Yeah, agreed. But Champion?" Yin left her question unsaid.
Qrow knew exactly what she was trying to ask.
"Mythic Grimm can share their blood, turn a human into their champion. The Champions are all strong. Usually needing either a top Huntsman or two to put down. They're usually cunning, have their Aura and Semblance to bolster their Grimm strength, speed and abilities. They're strong. But it concerns me.. how the Atlesians have one of 'em working for them. And what that could mean.."
Yin nodded, "It could mean they're dealing with a Mythic Grimm."
"Mhm. Which makes them traitors to Humans and the Faunus. They're priority. Something this level requires a team. Just you and me won't make the bigwigs ease up. So.. I got a request from one and asked someone else to join us." Qrow stated, relieved Yin didn't seem to react negatively.
Instead, she just asked.
"Who's being added then?"
"Me." A blonde woman in a black bodysuit, blue mantle/cape and a sniper rifle walked over from a black car with the Arc crest on the hood.
"This is Noire Arc. You met a while back when you stopped in Domremy." Qrow informed, watching Yin scrutinize her.
Noire Arc had shoulder length blonde hair, deep blue eyes and had a lithe, athletic body that filled out the bodysuit she wore nicely. Her sniper rifle was a mechashift weapon that looked like it could detach into twin short spears. Yin nodded, seeing the unwavering confidence and silent strength Noire carried within herself.
"She's capable." Yin said, glancing at her Uncle.
Qrow nodded with a slight grin, "Damn right she is. She's part of a secretive force that hunts rogue Huntsmen. She specializes in dealing with human targets."
Yin raised her brow. Not having heard of such a force before now.
"He means I specialize in assassinating Huntsmen. No need to sweet talk." Noire stated with a nearly imperceptive shake of her head.
"So who's the last one?" Yin asked. Qrow scratched the back of his head and bit the inside of his cheek.
"Well..."
*WHUMP~"
Yin suddenly found the back of her head hit two soft mounds. Immediately from the feeling of warmth and contentment rising within her, she knew who it was.
"Guess whoooo~?" Yang's playful voice called out as she covered Yin's eyes.
"Yang. Of course.. Well this is a surprise." Yin answered, her eyes freed after giving the correct answer.
Seeing the sunny smile Yang gave her, she felt her stomach flip. Yin cleared her throat and calmed her nerves.
"Hehe~ Yeah, I'm here to help. Let's wrap up this Crime war eh, Sis?" Yang nudged her twin, arm wrapping around her shoulders as she pulled her in.
Yin's face cracked, a genuine smile budding on her face as Yang expressed her excitement.
"Mn. Let's. This should be easy with us all putting in the work. But are we an official Huntsman team, Unc?" Yin asked, feeling Yang press close.
"Temporary team but yeah. We're team QNYY, Quincy."
