Chapter 42: A fight, and a Wish later

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It has been almost a month since the bet was made and the majority was spent watching Indigo train RB, though it always ended the same way: with a giant shadow fist sending the alternate Ruby sky high. It was hilarious seeing this happen to someone else and didn't matter how many times it happened, it was always funny. Another thing to note was Yang’s second pregnancy, it honestly surprised RB but she didn't say much about it. Luckily, Yang had experienced the rapid mood swings before and it allowed her to know when her mood would suddenly shift.

Today was no different than the others. I sat with Ruby on my lap as we watched the sparring match between Indigo and RB rage on. They traded blows, one after the other, that is until Indigo decided to use his trump card. When RB had jumped away from him, Indigo had summoned the giant shadow fist from below her, but unlike the other times, she was just able to dodge out of the way.

When she landed, Indigo let go of his scythe and said, “And match over.”

RB looked at him in confusion as she panted, out of breath from the gruesome sparring match.

“But… I can… keep going…” RB said as she panted. Indigo chuckled as he walked up to her.

“No need, you're the first to ever dodge the Fist,” Indigo said encouragingly. “With that speed you'll be sure to win.”

RB smiled at this as she sat back down. Her gauntlets turned back to their standby mode as she did this. Over the month of training I noticed that RB’s fighting was very much the same as Yangs, albeit with some differences.

“And I do expect you to win, just so you know.” He said.

“From what I heard from this Blueblood guy, I don’t think I’m going to have problems.” RB said but she didn’t seem to smile at this. I soon noticed Yang and Father walking over to us, hand in hand.

“Hello you two.” Father greeted me and Ruby as he helped Yang sit down.

“Thank you…” Yang said as she sat down. After the first month she had already had the belly for having a kid on the way. Father smiled as he sat beside her.

“How’s the third kid?” I asked, which made Yang groan a bit.

“I forgot how difficult it was to do things with a kid in me.” Yang said with a sigh.

“But you enjoy me treating you with absolute care.” Father said a chuckle. Yang looked over to him before smiling.

“Yeah I do.” she said as she leaned onto him. Father chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. At this moment RB came over with a water bottle in hand. She was going to say something but stopped when she saw Yang, mostly at her belly. Father looked as if he remembered something and looked over at RB.

“If you don't mind me asking Miss Branwen, how exactly did you managed to end up in this world?” Father asked. RB blinked as this drew her attention away from Yang.

“Uh, well, it was mostly something me and some of the tribe members stole from an Atlus train that was getting sent to the east. Some kind of dust powered teleporter that could send you anywhere in the world of Remnute.” RB explained.

“Okay… that didn’t really answer the question, though.” Yang pointed out. RB blushed a bit and laughed nervously.

“Well... once it was finished and ready for a demonstration for the following day, and… there was a big red button… and…” she didn’t finish as Yang started to laugh.

“Oh my Oum! You saw the button and you had to press it!” Yang laughed at this, making RB blush more.

“S-shut up!” RB retorted, earning a laugh from everyone else.

“It seems even with your maturity, the child in you still lives on.” Father said to the blushing RB. RB didn’t say anything before we heard some footsteps coming towards us.

“Mommy!” Both Kaida and Strun yelled as they ran over to their parents. Yang laughed as she gave them a hug.

“Hey you two, how was your day?” Yang asked as she hugged them.

“Good! Look! Strun aced his test today!” Kaida said as Strun showed it off to the both of them. Father hugged the young boy, proud of his accomplishment. As all this happened, RB watched in silence. She looked at the two kids and then at Yang as the realization started to set in to her. She started to tremble before quickly walking away from us.

“Hey… Hey RB!” Yang called out for her only for RB to start running. Father looked at the fleeing RB in sadness. Father soon stood up and looked at Yang before saying.

“I will go talk to her.” Father said before running off to catch up with RB. We all watched him run off and as he disappeared around a corner.

Strun spoke.

“W-Who was t-that mommy?” Strun asked, talking about RB. Yang sighed a bit before looking at her son.

“That woman is your aunt. She’s… dealing with some issues.” She explained. Yang looked over at Indigo. “How goes her training for the match?”

“She finally dodged the Fist, she's ready.” Was Indigo's immediate answer, earning a wide-eyed stare from Yang.

“Really!?” Yang said before frowning. “I’m… Happy about that.” she said through a forced smile.

“Yang, are you having one of your mood swings?” Ruby asked her.

“No… I’m fine.” Yang said before pushing herself up. “If you excuse me I’m going to go eat a tub of ice cream and maybe cry about it for no reason.”

Yang and her kids headed off as I could’ve sworn I saw steam coming out of her ears. Indigo watched her leave with an arched brow before finally looking at us.

“Was it something I said?” He asked.

“No, I think it’s more that the idea that RB was the first of us that could dodge you’re shadow fist kinda made her upset, and with some mood swings, made her really mad.” I explained as I had my arms wrapped around Ruby. Indigo hummed before shrugging and saying.

“Not my fault.” Was all he said before walking off into the school. “I'll see you two at lunch!” Indigo called out as he walked away.

“Okay!” We both yell out to him before looking at each other and giggle a little. The two of us sat there as we enjoyed each other’s company before hearing some talking nearby. Being a little curious, we got up and went over to see who it was. As it seems it was both Tak and Skyler talking, as Skyler had a number of books and pages around her. Tak seemed to be a little frustrated.

“Okay… and what about the Creep Grimm?” Skyler asked Tak, only for him to groan.

“We've been over this five times already.” Tak said in an annoyed tone before sighing and saying. “Creeps are lizard-like creatures of Grimm that rely on their claws and tails for their attacks.” He said.

“I thought that was a Death Stalker?” Skyler asked.

“No, a Deathstalker is a large Scorpion type Grimm that uses sharp pinchers and a stinger like tail!” Tak corrected. Skyler seemed to be more confused as we came over.

“Hey Tak.” I greeted him as he noticed our presence when Skyler looked up at us.

“Hey Viri.” He greeted before facing Ruby’s direction. “Is Ruby with you?” He asked, tilting his head slightly.

“Hi Tak.” Ruby said in a cheerful tone. He bowed his head before greeting her as well.

“So what's up?” Tak asked.

“Nothing much, just wondering what you two are doing… also where’s Weiss?” I asked him, looking around if I saw the young Schnee around.

“She went to the library to pick up some books.” Tak said, answering my question. “We're tutoring Skyler.”

“I don’t see why I need tutoring. I’m great at the combat training.” Skyler explained as she crossed her arms.

“You got a D on your first written exam.” Tak immediately replied with bemused look. Skyler grumbled at this but said nothing to deny Tak’s words.

“Ahh, guess you’re a doing the physical stuff easier than the written stuff?” I asked Skyler, who frowned more.

“I don’t see why we need to do written stuff. Huntsman are going out there fighting Grimm, why is there so much writing involved?!” Skyler said as she complained about this.

“Because there's a lot more to it than fighting Grimm.” Tak answered, annoyed by Skyler’s complaining. Skyler groaned at this.

“Everyone keeps saying that! What do you mean?!” Skyler said, earning a confused look from both me and Ruby.

“Skyler, with what you know, what are Huntsman and Huntresses?” I asked her.

“Huntsman and Huntresses are supposed to be great fighters and hunters of the land. They go out to fight Grimm. That’s why most nobles in Canterlot have their kids go to the Huntsman Academy there, as well at Cloudsdale. If you have enough bits for it, you can go to school there.” Skyler explained with a sigh.

“You make is sound like it’s a title.” Ruby said which Tak frowned at.

“For the Ponies, that's what it is.” Tak said with a sigh. He shook his head at his own words before saying. “Then they wonder why they aren't capable enough Huntsmen to fight a simple pack of Beowolves.” Tak added.

That's right, about a day or two after RB’s arrival Tak had been sent out to exterminate a pack of Beowolves that, not surprisingly enough, a group of unicorn Huntsmen were incapable of doing. It was then were RB and Father came over. RB looking like she was crying a bit as she was wiping her face with a cloth.

“Hey…” she said before looking at Skyler. “Uhh, who are you?”

“Skyler… who are you?” Skyler asked back before looking at Ruby and then back at her. “Are you two… twins?”

“Umm, not really…” Ruby answered with a nervous laugh. Father shook his head before saying.

“Her name is Ruby Branwen, she is an alternate version of Miss Rose here.” Father said, speeding up the introduction. Skyler looked at him oddly before looking at RB, seeing the latter nod at Father’s words. RB also looked down at all the paper and books.

“What are you guys doing?” She asked as she picked up a book on Grimm.

“Me and Weiss are tutoring Skyler so she doesn't fail in the first few months of her school year.” Tak said before glancing at the bird faunus in question. “And it's proving to be quite the chore.” He added.

“Ah, how bad is it?” RB asked.

“She confused a Creep with a Deathstalker.” Tak answered with a groan. RB made a painful look at Skyler.

“How can you get those two mixed up?” RB asked with a frown. Skyler groaned as she fell backwards. Father chuckled at this before shaking his head.

“I suppose I'll leave you all to it.” Father said before smiling at me and turning to leave. As he walked away, he passed Weiss by as he entered the school. Weiss held a few more books as she came over to us, and once she was here, she placed the books down next to Skyler.

“Okay! Here’s every book I could get that details every Grimm to the tiniest detail. After this I want to see you getting an A out of this test coming up.” Weiss said as she sat down and passing her three books. Skyler saw the books that Weiss brought with her and laughed nervously.

“Seriously, if you fail we'll be stuck tutoring you.” Tak said, not happy with the thought of tutoring Skyler again. “So please, at least get a B.” Tak almost begged.

Skyler grumbled a bit as she picked up a book and opened it. Weiss gave me a worried smile at the two of us before Tak and Weiss started helping Skyler study. RB put the book down and said that she was going on for a walk before heading off. We also walked off away from the three to run into Qo, who was sitting by a tree with Slyph around her and her pet wyvern on her head. She seemed to be reading something as she was doing her homework.

“Hey there Qo, what are you working on?” I asked her as we came over. Qo looked up and showed us that she was working on math. “Ahh, do you need help?”

“Yes, mommy.” She said before turning the book around and looking like she was having a hard time at it. The two of us sat beside her and started to help her with her math homework. While we were helping her, I noticed Father walking towards us. He was smiling at the sight of us.

“I just came by to tell you that the duel is tomorrow.” Father said, making himself known to Ruby and Qo as well, as the pet Wyvern, which she named Sparky, looked at him with curious eyes.

“Ah, well, RB went out for a walk so if we see her we’ll let her know.” I said as I looked down at the page and help Qo with a multiplying question. They’re really throwing the hard questions at them quickly. Father’s attention was briefly to the direction of the Academy. With a smile and a shake of his head, he turned to us and said.

“Do not worry, I've already informed her.” Father said as he turned to leave. “I will be seeing you three later. Yang had just requested my presence and I am not one to disappoint.” He said before giving a little wave to Qo. With that done, he vanished in a flash of light. I chuckled at this as I turned back to Qo who finished a math problem, and got it right, on her own.

“Good job, sweetie.” I praised her as I kissed the top of her head. She giggled at this as she continue working. You know, moments like this I really enjoy.


The next day


When the day came we all woke up a bit earlier, excited to see the match today. We went outside and waited for Father to come out as well. When he did, he was alone.

With a concerned look, I asked him. “Where's Yang?” He merely smiled and said.

“She's a little ill, nothing to major. But she won't be coming along, I'm afraid.” He answered, though I know he was sad that Yang couldn't come with.

“I hope she feels better.” Ruby said in a sadden tone. It wasn’t long before a chariot came down and landed in front of us. We got in it before flying off towards the place. As we did I saw RB sitting across of me and Father with a frown on her face.

“Are you alright?” Father asked with concern. RB frown deepened as she spoke.

“Blueblood is going to cheat.” she said simply. Father raised a brow at this before saying.

“And this has you concerned?” Father asked.

“No, it upsets me.” RB answered. “Yesterday I went to Ponyville and had four different Ponies come up to me and bribe me to throw the match. This Blueblood is going to try and cheat his way to win which makes the whole ‘Best Huntsman’ a fucking lie.”

“Language!” Weiss yelled at RB, earning her a glare.

“That noble knows nothing of what is to be a Huntsman and it's about time someone showed him.” Father said to RB. Indigo nodded in agreement with Blake sitting next to him.

“It's about time someone kicked his ass for what he tried to do to with Weiss.” Indigo said, causing the Schnee in question to frown as she sat atop Tak’s lap. The latter frowned at the mention of Blueblood but said nothing. RB nodded at this before smirking.

“Mind keeping Blueblood’s cheating habits underwraps as I beat the sh-” she stopped when Weiss glared at her. RB sighed. “The stuffing out of him?” Weiss sighed but said nothing, earning a laugh from Indigo and a chuckle from Father.

“I think we can handle that.” Ruby said as she looked at all of us. The rest of the flight was spent chatting amongst ourselves. We soon touched ground at courtyard of the palace.

“Ah, here we are.” Father said, opening the door. We all got up and went out of the door. We were greeted by the two Princesses, and Blueblood, who was simply smiling smugly.

“Ah, it’s good to see all of you came.” Celestia said as the chariot went off. RB looked at them but didn’t say anything.

“Wouldn't miss it for the world.” Indigo said with a chuckle. Blueblood stepped forward with a bottle of wine with him.

“Mind a little drink before the match?” he asked as he poured two glasses. One of them floated over to RB as she stared at it. She took it and gave it a look in it. Blueblood seemed to drink it, making sure that everyone saw ‘oddly’ before RB looked at him and dumped it onto the ground.

“I have my own thanks.” she said before taking a swig from her flask. Blueblood’s right eye twitch as he kept his smile.

“Alright, don’t say I wasn’t nice.” he said as he cleared his throat. “I’ll lead us to the area where we will have the match.”

With that he turned and walked forward, with everyone following behind him. All but the princesses were glaring at RB as she finished her drink.

“Didn't I tell you not to drink?” Indigo asked RB with a frown. “That was literally the only condition for me to train you.” He said.

“Relax, it’s not alcohol.” RB said as she showed the flask to Indigo. “It’s Cranberry juice. One hundred percent Vitamin C in it!”

I laughed at this before we all arrived at the place, and… it was an arena. There were people sitting in the stands as Blueblood stood in the middle of the ring with only a solid gold gem-encrusted rapier, this made both Weiss and RB groan.

“This is just stupid.” RB said as she looked at all of us. “Please tell me you can deal with all of his bullshit?”

We all nodded as she walked forward into the arena as I looked at everyone. I saw Tak with a deep frown.

“He really doesn't want you to win.” Tak said before facing RB. “There are traps littered across the arena floor, some of his lackies hidden in the walls, and I can sense some of them in the crowd as well.” Tak said in an informative tone. Ruby looked around before looking up.

“I see… odd birds up there.” she informed us as I looked up. Squinting my eyes I saw those birds are Pegasi with bags.

“Those are Pegasi. I think they’re going to drop things on RB.” I said to everyone. RB let out a loud breath out of her nose before speaking.

“That bastard is going get his teeth punched in so far that he’s going to eat mashed potatoes out of a straw!” RB said angrily. Indigo put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

“Don’t worry, we’ll handle them.” he said before looking at Blake. “Me, Tak, and Blake will deal with the ones in the walls while Viri, Ruby, and Weiss deal with the ones in the crowd.”

“What about the ones in the air and the ground traps?” Blake asked. No one answered as Father stamped the ground as his eyes glowed.

“Done with the traps. I’ll go up and convince the ones up there to come clean.” He said as there was a light flash as his wings appeared. He turned to RB. “Just focus on the match and you’ll be fine.”

With a nod, RB looked forward before taking a breath. She let it out before walking towards Blueblood. As she walked over, she looked back at us, which I gave her a thumbs up. She smiled before looking back.

“Alright, let's get this done so we can watch RB kick his ass.” Indigo said as he and Blake went off together. Father took flight up into the sky. I looked at Tak and Ruby before nodding.

“Let's go.” I said as we headed to the stands.


RB


I walked over to the smug bastard in front of me before stopping almost a few feet away from him.

“You know, you have every chance to simply give up and thrown in the towel, or do you even know what a towel is?” He laughed. I frowned as I flicked my wrists and both gauntlets extended out. I didn't think I really need them but can't be too overconfident. I brought them close to my face and whispered to them.

“Just wait a little longer, then I'll see you again.” I said as I moved them away. I went into a combat stance as I waited for the word ‘go’. Blueblood didn't seem to move as Princess Celestial stood up.

“Everypony, we are here today to watch as the number one Huntsman from the Arcana Arts Academy, Sir Blueblood.” This earned a round of cheers from the crowd as Blueblood waved at them. “Duels against RB from Forever Free Academy.”

There were some boos, and some yelled at me to beat it. I ignored them as Celestia continued. “It's going to be a one on one duel with no time limit. Then winner will be the one who forces the other into submission. Are both combatants ready?!”

“More than ever.” Blueblood said with a yawn. I simply nodded as I was ready.

“Well then, begin!” The princess announced which made me bolt forward at the Unicorn. I knew he has magic with him so I was ready to hit a force field or dodge a blast from his horn. As I got close I moved for throw a right jab to test his defences. But instead of what I thought was going to happen, Blueblood’s smirk disappeared and dodge out of the way with a yelp. This surprised me as I looked over at him and saw a surprised and scared look on him.

“Wha… Wait, hold on!” He yelled as I blinked at him. “No, it can't be…”

I watched him grit his teeth before charging at me with his rapier and tried to use it as a sword. I simply dodge it just by ducking, which made him stumble a bit.

This stallion… has no combat skill whatsoever. I wanted to facepalm so hard as he tried to slash at me. I blocked it with one arm as I looked at the blade. It was a gold colour, and it was made to be able to thrust and slice… if it didn't have a flat edge.

“Are… are you using a decorative sword to fight me! This is worthless!” I said as I pushed him back. He sneered at me as I noticed a stallion, with what looks like a blowgun at the ready, pointed at me just as he got thunder clapped by Tak and helped down. I shook my head as I sidestepped out of the way. “Did you train for this or did you sit around doing nothing for a month?!”

He didn't say anything as he tried to hit me again. I simply ducked under it before kicking his legs from out under him. “This… is simply embarrassing. A child could beat you with ease.” Blueblood didn't say anything as the cheering he once had is now gone. I kneeled next to him before adding. “What did you say before? You can throw in the towel now and leave.”

It was then he put his hand up and a blue cloud of mist spread into my face. I stepped back as I started to cough. My vision started to blur a bit as the feeling of going stiff was overcoming me.

“Like that? It's a special spray that makes you paralyzed for a good week or two, but that's plenty for me to give you a good beating.” Blueblood laughed as he got up and walked over to me. “I don't know how you did it but I'm not going to have some low life from a school for animals come in and beat me-” it was then I shot backward to give me the momentum to headbutted him in the face, stopping his monologuing and knocking some teeth out. I fell to the ground as his weapon hit the floor and broke apart as he was knocked out. I tried to push myself up but couldn't due to the last minute bullshit.

It was then I felt someone help me up. I turned and saw Ruby there with a big smile. I smiled back before saying. “Thanks.”

“No problem.” Ruby said as she walked me over to the stands.


Viri


As Ruby carried RB up to us I went to help her.

“What happened?” I asked as the others arrived with Father being the last one.

“Blueblood… had a trick up his sleeve… paralyzed me for a long time just to win.” RB said with a frown. “Guy had no real skill, must of bribed or cheated his way to the top.” We all frowned at this, angered to hear that someone could be so low. Father helped RB onto a bench before laying her down.

“I will heal you of your paralysis.” Father said as he placed his hands atop RB’s head. RB’s body was briefly encompassed in Father’s heavenly light before she bawled her hand into a fist a few times. She then groaned, feeling the discomfort of suddenly regaining her limbs, but was nonetheless thankful.

“Thanks…” RB said as she moved around a bit. Father nodded before helping her sit up.

“I can't believe your headbutt won you the match.” Indigo said with a small chuckle before erupting into a full blown laughter. “That was the funniest thing I've ever seen!”

“Well, I heard something from Rose about that.” RB said with a chuckle before adding. “When you run out of bullets, you still have your helmet and head.” Father chuckled at this as well.

“Nevertheless, congratulations for your win.” Father said, giving her a pat on the shoulder. “Shall we go see what the two princesses have to say?” He then asked.

We all got up to see the two princesses. As we got there, we saw a large group of ponies that, some of them, looked beat up.

“Didn't go gently, did you…” I whispered to Indigo. He shrugged nonchalantly as we walked by the group, some of them saw Indigo and backed away in fear.

“You may leave.” Celestia said with a wave of her hand. The group of ponies walked or limped away from us as Celestia sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.

“It seems your nephew went out of his way to make sure he won.” Father said with a frown, as his gaze landed on the stallion in question. The latter groaned as he opened his eyes and looked around confused.

“Blueblood.” Celestia said in a low tone. “I'm stripping you from the rank of Huntsman and nobility that you cherished so much.” Blueblood eyes widen at this.

“You… you can't do that!” He yelled as he got up, wobbling a bit. “This is some mistake!”

“Mistake?” Celestia said. “Blueblood, I was told that, for as long as you started my school, you lied, cheated and bought out everyone and things to get to the top. This is the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen one pony do in a long time.” Blueblood was trembling with anger.

“How… how can you say that!? They are lie-” he was cut off when one of the guards grabbed his arm and lift it up. “Unhand me right now!”

The guard didn't listen as he pulled his sleeve down and showed the device that sprayed RB. Blueblood looked around as he tried to come up with something.

“Get out of my sight.” Celestia said in an angry tone.

“But auntie-”

NOW!” Celestia yelled that almost knocked most of us off of our feet. Blueblood scrambled before running away as Celestia groaned a bit as she closed her eyes. I glanced at Tak and noticed a little smirk on his face as he and Weiss held hands. Celestia looked over at RB with a sad expression. “Miss Branwen, I'm so sorry for this… embarrassment of a duel.”

“On the downside, I had to face a cheater.” RB before shrugging. “But I headbutted him so it came up good in the end.” This got another, quieter laugh from Indigo and chuckle from Tak.

“Well, I would say I won the bet, but…” Luna said before Celestia cut in.

“Yes, yes, I'll go and start restructuring the system of my school. After what I saw and heard today, it's worse than I could ever imagine it to be.” Celestia said with a sigh.

Luna pumped a fist into the air while silently celebrating her victory. It wasn't until Father chuckled that she remembered us being there before she lowered her hand with a blush.

“I'll have a chariot come to take you back to Forever Free Academy.” Celestia informed us.

Father thanked them for this before they turned to leave, though as they walked away I could see Luna doing a happy dance for having won her side of the bet. When we exited the arena, the chariots were already there waiting for us and we all got on except for RB and Father.

“We will meet you back at the Academy.” Father said and before I could ask why, the chariot took off. I watched as Father was left behind, growing smaller and smaller as we flew farther away.

“I wonder what that was about?” Ruby asked.

“Ruby, you dolt, he and RB are going over the wish that she won.” Weiss explained to her. Weiss once again sat across Tak’s lap, though I don't think the bat faunus minded. Ruby soon looked back at the direction of Canterlot before saying.

“Oh… I wonder what she wishes for?” Ruby asked.


RB


I watched as the chariot flew off with the others and I was left with Father, who I don't call due to sounding weird. I turned to him as he stared at me.

“So… this is the part you ask me what kind of wish I want, Sanns?” I asked. He turned to look at me and nodded.

“Yes, and I will do whatever I can to make it so.” He said with both his hands behind him as he awaited patiently.

I stood there staring at him, I could wish for anything! I could get whatever I want. I could go home, or go to a world that all of what happened to me never happened. I could be happy with nothing wrong. But no, this isn’t what I wanted, there was only one thing I wanted and Sanns knows it. I took in a shaky breath as I tried to look strong in front of him.

“Please…” I said as I felt tears welling up. “I want my sister back… give her back to me.” It was then he sighed and shook his head.

“I should've known…” He said as he closed his eyes. With another shake of his head he said. “I'm afraid what you ask for is something I cannot do.”

“No…” I said as I felt my one chance to have my sister back slipping away. “NO! I will not accept this!” I grabbed his shirt and pulled him to me. “GIMME MY SISTER! PLEASE!!”

I felt tears run down my faces as I cried before I fell to my knees. “I’ll… I’ll do anything for you. Just please… give me back my sister back… I miss her… so much.” He blinked at this before helping me backup my feet and wiping away the tears as he did.

“My dear Branwen, it is considered rude to interrupt someone when they're not done speaking.” He said, dusting my clothes off the dirt it had picked up. I stared at him in confusion as he continued. “What you ask for is resurrection, doing so will only bring her pain. What I can do however is reincarnation, give her a new body for her soul to inhabit.”

“You… you can still bring her back?” I asked him. He nodded and was going to say something but I gave him a hug. “Thank you~!”

He was surprised by the hug but soon returned it. He pulled away, saying that he'll take us back to the Academy to do it. I suggested my room, knowing that I don't have a roommate. So, with a nod and a flash of light, I found myself in my room which was kinda bare, other than the number of drawings on the walls. Sanns looked around and saw the drawings that covered the one wall. He simply stared at wall in silence, making me a little nervous.

“Now then, what I am about to do will only be once. If at any moment you earn another wish, you are no longer allowed to reincarnate a fallen friend.” He said, turning to face me with a look of seriousness. “I hope you understand this.”

“I understand that…” I said. I don’t know why he said I would get another wish in the future; I don’t believe I will.

With that, he nodded and looked at the center of the room before sitting down, legs crossed, and with his eyes closed. He soon began to hum, his humming sounding ethereal. When he opened his eyes, gone were his golden irises as they shone a bright heavenly light. He raised his hands, allowing two orbs of pure light to come out from his palms. The orbs hovered in place for a minute or two before they flew a few feet away from him and lowering themselves to the floor. The orbs soon emitted different colors before they began hovering upwards.

As they did, they formed what looked to be a pair of feet before forming the legs. Soon enough the orbs separated further apart as a pair of hand as well a torso formed. When the arms were done and the orbs closed in on each other, forming the shoulders, they fused into one orb, forming the head. Suddenly, the bright female form was surrounded by a ring of golden light, the ring then hovered up and down the female body, causing the light to diminish, revealing a pale white skinned female form. Another pass of the ring of light added more detail to the body, until it stopped above the head before slowly traveling downwards, giving the body a familiar head of fiery blonde hair. When the ring passed over the head, it revealed the face of a sleeping Yang. The body was soon gently laid onto the ground as I watched in silence, many emotions swelling up inside me. Then I heard it, a groan from the unconscious form.

“There.” Sanns said as he closed his eyes only to open them again, his golden irises having returned. “I have brought her soul into the vessel.” He added as he stood up. I stared at the unconscious form of my sister.

“She’s here… she’s alive… she’s really back! Shes’...” I then realized something before blushing. “Completely naked!” I exclaimed in embarrassment just before Sanns covered her with a blanket.

“Why is she naked!?” I asked loudly.

“You never mentioned anything about clothing, so it's your mistake.” He said with a chuckle. I frowned at him before I heard my sister groan a bit.

“Ugh, why do I feel like I’ve been through a microwave?” she said before pushing herself up. Seeing her do this made me start crying before tackling her into a hug.

“YANG!” I cried as I hugged her. She blinked at me in complete confusion.

“Huh? Ruby? What are you… wait, why do you look older?” Yang asked as she looked around. “Where are we? What happened?” she turned to Sanns. “And who are you?”

Sanns chuckled as he sat on the bed.

“I am Saanvodkiin Xiao Kun. I know you have many questions to ask and I will be happy to answer them; but for now, let your sister have this moment.” Sanns said to her, earning another confused look from her.

She's… she's really back, I looked up at her as she looked down at me.

“You… grew your hair out.” she said, holding some of it in her hands. I wiped away some tears before nodding. “Looks good on you.” she added with a smile as I looked at Sanns.

“Thank you.” I said to him before my sister started asking him questions. He simply smiled at us and nodded as Yang started to ask her questions, so many questions.

The last thing I got in was if he could get Yang some clothes which she found out she was now naked under a blanket.

“Sanns? Are you in here?” I heard a voice before the door open and Yang, the other Yang, was in the room. The two Yangs stared at each other. “Well… this is awkward.”
