Previously on “Hidden Secrets” Violet is discovering more about Edgar also known as Edward his slight amisha seems to have been just an act for Violet to trust him more but that seems to be failing as Ruby and Yang are interacting with him and he knew them, even though he was meant to have slight amisha. Violet seems to also be concerned at the fact that Ed lives alone in the woods even offering him a hotel room that she was willing to pay for him even Ruby offered for him to live with her… and Yang. He declined both offers as he was already comfortable with where he lives.
Yang P.O.V just before Ed declined both Violet’s and Ruby’s offer to where he could live.
‘This Edward? Edgar? Egg , this egg I don't trust him Ruby’s calling him Edward and Violets calling him Edgar… I just hope Ruby will be ok when she finds out if he’s lying or not.’
I looked at my sister in shock when she just suddenly asked him to live with us without even asking me or dad or mu… Thankfully Egg finally spoke what he wanted.
“I-I’m fine, that house was only built for as long as I'm in Signal so there wasn't much use upgrading it, also Ruby although I appreciate the offer, I’m good.” That's all he has to say… ‘why does this seem more like an excuse then anything’
As Violet and Egg argued I pulled Ruby to the side as I wanted to know what she was thinking and why, I quietly whispered at her “RUBY WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? He’s pretty much a stranger and you're inviting him to LIVE with us. What if he’s a criminal or something, you didn’t even ask me or Dad… It’s best if you ask me first though”
All Ruby had to say was a nervous “I-I know Yang b-but he’s got nobody except for a few friends.” ‘I… I didn't know that.’
“Ruby, look I didn't know that but you should still ask either me or dad first, you don't even know if he’s trustworthy or not especially when people are calling him different names to the one you know”
“Fine, but he’ll be coming to Signal so we can keep an eye on him… It’s just I feel like I have this connection with him and it feels… nice? Safe?”
“Sigh. look Ruby that's probably just a crush or something it’ll disappear when you get older besides we need to get home soon before dad burns the house down or worse.”
Ed’s P.O.V when his argument with Violet is over he won the argument.
‘Sigh. Why is she so stubborn?’ “Now where should we go? Because if nobody else has an idea then can we please go to the shopping mall because I want to make sure I have everything I need for Signal tomorrow.”
“Sorry Egg-I mean Ed me and my sister need to get home before our dad burns the house down so this is where we have to say our goodbyes for now.” Yang suddenly replied and Egg?
“Oh ur alright bye… Egg?“ I whispered the last part genuinely confused.
“OH UR before we go, can we trade scroll numbers so I can text you later?” Oh right we never got a chance to trade numbers man that night was hectic. “Sure.” and so we traded numbers leaving just me and Vi.
“Erm….. what now?” Violet asks not sure what to do.
“Shopping I guess, I need to make sure I have everything for Signal and maybe you want something as a souvenir?” After all, Vi won't be able to stay here forever. Her home probably needs her or something.
“Right then, guess I'll go back home when ya head to signal, but we could always meet again anyday!” she says with a smile that shines like the sun.
“Right, who knows’ maybe one day I’ll be in your world wouldn't that be a surprise.” not to mention it was nice meeting people like me even if she didn't know that.
She smiles “well considering I'm on the brink of a war I would hope not, at least not yet anyway” she says her smile fading slightly resembling the moon then the bright sun.
Shocked, I said maybe a bit too loudly “YOUR ON THE BRINK OF A WAR!” how come she never told me this?!
“Yeeeeeeeee long story” she giggles “nothing to worry about” she said trying to sound reassuring.
“NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! VI you're one of my friends now, OF COURSE I'M GOING TO WORRY, IT’S A WAR!” I mean come on what’s next, she’s the daughter of a demon lord and is on the hero’s side so the demon dad is angry and wants to destroy the world…
“Hey try being the daughter of a demon king, I'm good though!” she says trying to make it seem like it was nothing.
Now with my eyebrows twitching ‘can she read my mind or something’ slapping my forehead and rubbing my face all I could say to that was a simple “If you say so… Look I might not be much help now so how about when I’m older I’ll come and help, who knows maybe the whole dimensional travel thing messes with time so my world ages faster or something.” The opposite was left unsaid.
“It's very likely” she says “Though I don't want anything happening to ya if you did come.” She then follows up with all this while saying it in a motherly tone trying to sound much older.
Rolling my eyes and finding this a little bit funny all I said was a “Yeeessss Mooooommmmmm I’ll behave and eat all my veggies'... Happy” This was all said in my best baby-like voice.
She giggles finding this fun “I’ll stick around a bit longer then so you do behave.” she says continuing this act of being a mother.
Smiling as I’ve actually enjoyed our time together. “Okay, don't forget that you promised to train me.” I continued the act as well since it was fun.
“I won't forget.” she said smiling.
“Okay, how about we go shopping then.” I said happily, sounding like a kid who wants their chicken nuggets.
“Alright!’ she says, smiling that bit brighter.
As we walked down towards the shopping mall, unknown to both of us there was somebody on the phone in the corner telling someone about our conversation, especially about the war. As they walked out of the shadows and continued walking it was revealed that the person was a Faunus.
“So do you need to buy anything considering all you have is in the backpack.” I asked as the backpack seemed quite small since it only reached up to her knees… meaning it’s really small.
“Well all I have in here is candy, ammo, dust, my weapon and headphones sooooo I dunno” she says pondering the Idea.
“Right, yeah we're going to have to buy you things, I’ll pay since you paid for brunch and I have enough money to spend for both of us.” It was true as well since I do own a company and some shares in a company.
“Ya sure?” she asks not thinking that iI would have that much money since I lived in the woods.
“100% as long as it’s not super expensive.” I even nodded and smiled at her showing it was okay.
“Aww that's sweet of ya kid, thanks” she said with a bright smile probably glad that she doesn't have to pay anymore.
Looking to hide my embarrassment especially since that smile was toooooo bright. “S-Shut up, it's only because you bought brunch, okay…”
“Mmmmm ya sure about that?” She teases me because of how I acted, probably thinking that I'm a tsundere or something.
Tilting my head slightly to make it seem like I'm looking down on her and with a smirk ”Of course sshhooorrrtyyy~.” I said teasingly before walking away faster.
She sighs defeated “got me there” she says with a secret smile as it was the truth that she is short.
Not noticing the secret smile I proudly say “Of course, now come on we need to go buy things.” walking away with a face full of smiles even if it was a little childish in how I acted.
Violet hums to herself while walking “So what do you want to buy first? clothes, food, toiletries… anything else?” I asked as I’m not sure what to buy.
Violet shrugs “How about a one way trip to sleep? I'm still pretty tired and that other bed does look good?" She is half serious and half joking.
Smirking slightly as I thought of a way to tease her “Sure but that means unless you want to sleep in what you're wearing then you are going to have to sleep naked.”
She looks away with a blush “You’d be good friends with Blake… Both of ya are pervs” she says it as if it was a fact.
Continuing my act even if it was pointless I say “Blake?” ‘She's probably talking about the ‘ninja of love’ books.’ “Why are she and I pervs?”
“Mmm you'll learn later” she says, continuing to walk without giving me a good reason.
Humming as I thought of ways to tease her back for calling me a perv… “You do know that means you're a perv as well since you took that as dirty talk.” and not giving her time to respond I ask “ So what should we go and buy first?”
“Hmmmm maybe dust? Or a weapon for ya” she says after a slight pause.
Having a genuine question I said “Wait, I thought we make those at Signal for an exam or something when we're 12 or 14?”
“Oh wait you’re right, sorryyyyy” she apologised as she’s never actually been too Signal.
“Na it’s fine we should probably go buy some dust since that’s always needed but what should we buy after?.”
“Maybe some clothes…though I'll be fine in what I’m in now so it's for you I mean” she says.
Smirking slightly I said “Right~ whatever you say… It’ll be best to buy you some clothes as well since you’ll need different clothes to wear especially for my training.”
“True true. Okayyyy” she says, accepting that it was true and that I'll have to buy her things.
“Right okay so our plan is to first get dust then clothes and lastly toiletries right?” I asked as that seems like a good plan.
“Right” she says, agreeing in the quick plan that I thought of.
“Okay then off to the dust shop.” As we continued our shopping there were a few people who were secretly following us.
??? P.O.V
“Officer there's 2 unknown individuals that seem to know about our plan to cause a war on patch. What should we do? Currently I have a few people following them, however they're almost done shopping.”
Violet P.O.V
We soon finish shopping and head out “Soooo where to now?” I wonder what to do.
“How about we go back to my home so we can offload the shopping then we could start my training?” he asked eagerly, hoping that Would agree.
“Yeah” I agreed as there was no point delaying this.
“Right, also did you notice that we were being followed.” he asked the second part in a whisper trying to keep it quiet.
“We were..?” I whisper back forgetting that I don't have my bodyguard to deal with people following.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Sighing. You say you're a Demon King's daughter but you didn’t even know we were being followed? You probably had a bodyguard that protected you right?” he asked, still whispering it was as if he read my mind.
“...erm spot on actually” I gave a nervous giggle at how accurate he was about this.
“Yeah I thought so, I don't think they’ll attack now since we're in the streets but once we're in the forest we should be careful so get your weapon ready.” he stated whisperingly while also getting his weapon ready sneakily.
My eyes go pink as I activate my semblance “ready” . I declare forgetting that we're meant to be sneaky.
He nodded at me but then looked into my eyes seeing that it’s changed colours and asked “That’s your semblance activating right? Man, I wish I knew what mine was.” he whispered the first before quietly muttering the second part not knowing that I could hear him.
“You don't know your semblance?” I asked, feeling a bit sad for him not knowing what it was.
Surprised, he whispered “You could hear that?” I then nodded so he followed with “Yeah I don't know my semblance, just before you crashed into me I had this weird dream of my soul being different colours so I just mixed them all into one colour it ended up looking like an Eden colour with small traces of purple and some red also what's your semblance?.” he asked me questioningly probably wanting to change subjects.
“Woah thats strange I’ve never heard of that, as for my semblance it allows me to turn energy physical” I say
He thought for a second before saying “energy into physical things sounds OP, also can you use every type of energy?”
“Yup but I normally use my own as it's a little difficult to use other’s” I say, telling him about some aspects of my semblance.
“Yeeeeppp it’s official you're overPowered with a capital O.” he started even popping out the P. He then looked forward and surprisingly we were at his home. “Oh, we're here, you can umm put the stuff on the table I guess and when do you want to do the training? especially when there might still be people who followed us around here.” he whispered.
“Yeah let's just start with a little spar” I say as I go to the table and set everything down “But lemme go change real quick” I say walking into the bathroom with the new training clothes we bought.
“Oh alright I’ll just be in the backyard stretching.” he stated before leaving.
??? P.O.V
“Sir, they led us to a house that seems to be handmade. Should we start attacking them now or wait for reinforcements” questioned the lackey who was communicating to someone on a scroll.
“Wait for the reinforcements we need to make sure that they are gone, especially when the war is going to start in less than a week we must not have our plans leaked. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!” the person on the other side of the scroll replied.
“Y-yess S-irr W-we UNDERSTAND” was the reply that came through sounding scared and slightly determined.
Ed’s P.O.V while stretching as to getting ready for the fight with Violet.
As I’m stretching I tried thinking of a plan to take down somebody who can turn energy into physical objects… I wonder if she touched me then would my own aura turn physical and trap me. She did say it's about harder to use so I'll have only a slight chance to escape? That was also when I heard the back door open.
She walks out and says “alright I'm ready now” she was wearing a simple dress that functions as a combat dress as it was form fitting. It was a simple mix of pink and black the black seemed like leaves or petals and the pink seemed to match her eyes when her semblance was active.
“Alright, also will we be using our weapons or just our fists?” I asked as we still needed to save our energy for the fight later.
“Whatever you feel is right” She says, allowing me to make the first move.
“Humm alright we’ll start on the count of 3. 3… 2… 1… GO!” Immediately I fired my knife-gun that was in my pocket and moved to the right.
She deflects with a pink energy shield and throws it at me. I barely dodged the shield and taking a mental note that they move faster than they appear, fired a shot and rolled to hide behind one of the trees nearby. 4 Bullets left before having to reload.
“hmmmm” She smirks and then the shield goes flying back to her but not before turning and aiming it at me again.
‘Shit!’ Quickly jumping and grabbing a branch and then I started to climb quicker up the tree was then hit by the shield causing the tree some damage but the shield eventually broke after being stuck in the tree.
Firing 3 more shots at Violet then jumping down while swinging my knife down trying to hit her ‘Time to test if she can affect others aura.’.
When she had the chance she placed her hand on my chest and absorbed some of my aura making the knife-gun miss her head. Seeing my aura being absorbed and being slightly winded from practically punched in the lungs with the force of a sledgehammer I raised my leg and kicked her in the stomach and use her as launching board fired the last bullet making me go faster along with the knife-gun behind her head it resulted in me pulling it closer to her head, ready to stab her in the back of her head the allowing the momentum of my kick gave a bust of speed and power.
She quickly travels behind me with a trail of pink energy “Damn that was foul” She says in pain from the force of the attack hitting her thankfully aura protecting her from the actual damage.
Seeing her suddenly disappear in front of me only to see a trail of pink energy and a few pieces of cut hair from where she was then hearing her speak but not knowing what she said as I sensed danger thanks to the senses I developed when working with Roman.
“Everything okay?” She asks, seeing the scared yet cold expression I had on my face.
Turning fully behind me only to see that it was Violet I hop back before saying “yeah I’m okay just felt danger for a second when you were behind me.”
“Wow ya dont trust me?” She teases trying to hide the slight pain she felt from his reaction.
“What no it’s just I thought you would be angry since I cut a few pieces of your hair and then you were behind me…” Thinking of something To tease her with I say “also I don't know what you would do to me from behind~” then covering my chest as if trying to protect my innocence acting like a maiden in danger.
“You little perv…” She says with a slight blush from his statement along with how he acted.
Sticking my tongue out at her and smirking, I say “You were behind me… that means you're really the perv.”
“Erm.. how so?” She asks, playing dumb and no longer having the slight blush from before.
“Errrrmmmm… Sooo are we stopping the fight?” I asked, as I couldn't actually think of a reason so tried changing the subject.
“Oh forgot about that hehe” she chuckles, going along with my plan to change the subject.
“??? forget what?” I asked confused and innocently to see if she really is going along with changing the subject.
“The fight” She replies before jumping on my shoulders thanks to her semblance and putting me into a headlock with her legs performing the Black-Widow take down perfectly “Not anymore though, tap out” she says tightening the grip on her legs.
Struggling to find a way out from the head-lock with my eyes closed to make sure not to accidentally see something I shouldn't like a gentleman, tightening the grip around my knife and stabbed her in the leg but her aura was protecting her so I just tapped out.
She lets go and giggles “hehe, I win” she smirks in the face of her victory.
In my mind many thoughts were going at almost lighting speed as my face slowly turned red but I accidently said “I don’t know if you won or if I won?” before slapping my mouth shut as I’m meant to be a 6 year old who was forced to develop early.
Violet froze up from my accidental comment on how to process this as she did feel him breathing when trapped in her thighs so her face started turning red from embarrassment wondering if he saw anything.
Seeing Violet frozen up I quickly thought of ways to change the conversation from this slowly growing awkward atmosphere. Luckily, that was when bullets started flying through the area, running and pushing Violet to the ground and shouted at her so she would snap out of it “QUICKLY MAKE A DOME!” this was also when I started thinking ‘Was this the danger that I felt? Roman did have that uncanny ability to sense traps.’
She quickly does so “SHIT” she shouts before reaching up her dress and pulling out her gun that she has hidden who knows where “Be ready for anything!” she says.
“Ok! They seem to be in the trees’” reloading my knife-gun and getting ready for when the dome would fall. I aim at where the muzzle flashes are and where the bullets were flying from.
The dome falls as Vi runs right and begins shooting so I moved left and followed her actions of shooting.
Firing at where the shooters were I started rolling and then got up, I fired at where the others were, hitting most of my shots.
Violet gets hit in her shoulder but continues shooting “GO CHECK ON RUBY AND YANG!!” she shouts, worried that they could have also followed them.
“OKAY BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU!” I shouted as I ran inside and grabbed the dust that we just bort it was ice dust so there wouldn't be a forest fire, looking at were most of the shooter were I threw my ice dust there and charged most of my aura into the dust so as soon as it hit the ground it exploded and captured most of them and I started running to Ruby’s house “STAY SAFE!!” I said while running and shooting, having to reload after my last shot.
Violet keeps shooting but eventually runs short on ammo so continues fighting with her hands with her semblance acting as gloves, knifes practically anything though her aura is draining fast.
Ruby’s P.O.V in her house watching the news about Vale and its current situation.
*“There seems to be a New criminal on the loose going by the name of “The Big Bad Wolf” or “TBBW” for short meany have deemed that there are 4 individuals behind this moniker as the letters match how the 4 academies create there team names however they have denied ever creating such a team and we at the news station believe them as the name doesn't match with any of the academy’s naming sense.”*
Sitting on the couch with Zwei who was sitting on my lap when suddenly he raised his head and looked towards Edward’s house. I wonder what’s happening… well whatever.
*“... The renowned Roman Torchwick was captured and arrested this afternoon at 13:18 by non other than officer Scarlet Arc on of the famous member of the Arc family which leads me towa-”*
Zwei then started barking and ran towards the door scratching it. This only continued for less than 5 seconds before dad said “WILL YOU SHUT THAT DAMN MUTT UP!” jumping slightly at Dad’s sudden loud shout expecting him to be kinder, he hasn't quite been the same since mum left…
*“... 7 Girls and only one boy who was born 7 years ago this has also provided evidence to scientists at atlas that the birth rate of men is falling and it’s estimated that in 11 years the chances between male and female birth would be 25% to 75% meaning more females would be born.”*
“I’LL DO IT!” Yang shouted before I could and ran down the stairs and grabbed Zwei who was now trying to escape. Suddenly there was knocking at the door “I’LL GET IT!” I yelled this time before Yang or Dad could shout and opened it and seeing it was Edward who looked exhausted “Hi ED-”
Edward quickly asked, interrupting me “Are you okay you haven't been followed?! Hit!? Yelled at or anything right!?!” He said all this in one breath before having to catch his breath again.
“Uuuu- AHH em… What?... Is everything okay? You seem worried about something?” I had to ask after all he's covered in dirt, sweat and small drops of blood.
“Yeah, I’m fine but are you okay and please answer I’ve been worrying about you.” ‘That… That's so sweet, is it just me or did it get hot in here’ Not noticing how brightly I’m blushing.
Yang standing to the side while holding Zwei saw all this and realised that she would have to protect her sister from this manipulative rotten Egg.
“Y-yeah I’m F-F-fin-e” that was all I could stammer out before he recovered enough to say “Okay, that’s good” Then he quickly ran back towards his house where there was a faint sound of… gunshots’?.
“WAIT ARE YOU… Okay…” before I could ask him that question he was already gone ‘Dam Bob was right he is fast’.
*“...In one of Vale's abandoned apartment complexes there has been a hidden base discovered and it was later reported that the criminal ‘TBBW’ has been living there as there's blueprints detailing how they have broken into those stores 2 years ago. Through further studies it’s believed that criminal mastermind Roman Torchwick has been training or mentoring this individual as police have identified that some of the techniques used Match that of Roman Torchwick as for now this has been Lisa Lavender of Vale so make sure to stay toon in as we discover more about ‘TBBW’ and that's goodbye for now.”*
Violet’s P.O.V
As I fight all of them I see Ed run off just like I ordered ‘DAMN THERE'S TOO MANY!’
As I punched the ground a huge pink shockwave emitted everywhere as I continued running behind a tree while bleeding from my arm resting as the shooting continued.
“C'MON YOU COULDN'T WAIT JUST A LITTLE LONGER?” I yell this at the shooters jokingly hoping that this would distract them.
“WE DID WAIT, WE WERE HERE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THAT AWKWARD SITUATION YOU WERE IN AND EVEN THE START OF THE FIGHT” yelled one of the shooters.
My voice goes dark “Then you've waited long enough to meet your end” and with that I prepare to attack.
“YEAH NO SHIT… WAIT WHAT?!” he yelled, not processing my words.
There was a trail of energy behind him as I shot him and all the other people quickly.
“SHI-” “WHAT OU-” “MOVE! MOVE! MOV-!” “HOW THE FUCK DID SHE DO THAT! STATUS REPORT NOWW!!”
“SHE TOOK 49 OF US OUT CAMANDOORREE!”
“SHOULD WE RETREAT!?”
“OF FUCING CORESE NOT GIVE THIS BICH HELL!!”
“YESS SURE!!” X 26
As they're talking I was finally able to get my demon wings to emerge as I make a quick retreat though flying but my wing gets shot and I start falling fast.
In the corner of my vision I see Ed line up his shot and fire at the shooters hitting 7 before they found his location, when they do find his position he changes locations by climbing into the trees and tree jumping.
That was when I also crashed into the ground and passed out from the force of falling practically head first onto the ground.
Ed’s P.O.V seeing Violet crash
As I’m jumping I quickly shoot at the shooter only able to fire the remaining shots before having to reload and trying to find a way to retrieve Violet’s body before the shooters find her location.
“HEY BOSS THE BITCH IS DOWN BUT I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE DUST.” ‘Fuck they’ll find her soon’ jumping down and running into the dust my aura starts to drain for some reason thankfully it’s at a slow rate as the dust seems to slowdown/delay it’s movement.
Running closer into the centre I pick-uped Violet’s body and carried her here like a fire-man then started heading towards my house so I could get some shelter and not be shot.
Running into the house when they were reloading I put Violet under the bed and made the bed messy so that it overhangs and covers her body.
Seeing that the campfire is off I shimmy up the chimney and when I get to the top I Fire all nine of my shots each one hitting as they weren't expecting to be shot by up high leaving only one guy left who seems to be the commander and he was at the opposite side to were the chimney was so using the roof as a climbing frame I get above the commander while he’s yelling orders for a status report I fall on him and using my slightly aura enhanced fisted to hit the top of his head instantly dazing him but with another punch he gets knocked out.
Not even 5 minutes later where I didn't even get a break after caring most of the bodies into one pile showing around 30 while 25 bodies were just a mess but still identifiable there 19 of the bodies weren't and the one commodore making up a total of 75 and maybe more.
The police and some huntsmen were immediately on me bringing me down to the floor with me having no time to resist as they started securing the area also finding Violet who was still bleeding but much slower now ‘Shit why didn't I realise that she was bleeding!’
With the adrenalin dying down my injuries were also shown my leg muscles were torn but aura was doing its job along with a few bullet wounds that wasn't deep but did get stuck in the body showing I’ve been hit 21 times ‘Dam my personal unlucky number, thankfully whatever my semblance is it seemed to have slowed the bullets momentum from piercing into my body too far.
“Tell me boy, why was there an injured child under one of your beds!?” He asked calmly.
“OH I dont know officer MAYBE USE YOU FUCKING EYES…” Looking at his name plate and seeing it was Deku made it even funnier.”DEKU!?”
“HEY it’s OFFICER DEKU to YOU, now tell me what happened here.”
