Scarlett

The early morning sunrise reflects on the wet stone bricks.The fresh air feels rejuvenating, and singing birds offer a great ambiance. The empty plaza starts to light up from the sun. Scarlett begins to wake up from the bright rays of sunshine.

'How long was I out?' She stretches and gets to her feet. She looks around and remembers what happened the night before. She grabs her whip from the floor, and she starts to walk towards the long alley leading away from the plaza. She looks around for any grimm she could find, but there isn't any trace of the fowl creatures. She sees a small dust shop that seems to have been broken into, but before she has time to investigate a man with a white suit and black bowler hat appears from the opening where a door would be.

'What were you thinking? This is why I hate goons! They always fail or screw up.' He punches another man who appears holding a woman over his shoulder.

'I'm sorry boss I didn't know she was a hunter?' The man with the white suit punches him again.

'I don't remember giving you the right to speak did I. Now then this bee lady could prove useful so you get to live this time uh. Hmm what was your name?'

'Its Clyde sir.' The man taking off his hat punches Clyde in the face again.

'Again I didn't give you the right to speak Clyde.' They continue walking down the street. Scarlett decides to follow them.

'That man was carrying Marigold. I got to save her.' She follows the two of them for a couple of minutes until they stop.

'Alright Clyde you first.' Clyde slides open the manhole in the middle of the street and jumps down the hole. The other man jumps down after him. Scarlett hears the white suited man's complains fade away.

'They have a hideout in the sewers. Gross!' She jumps in after them. The dark tunnels make it hard for Scarlett to follow the two and she gets lost but she can still hear a bit of complaining. So she starts to listen to it. She brings out her whip and loads a fire crystal into it creating a somewhat of a torch. She shuffles her way through the dark tunnels. She notices that she isn't alone.

'Who's there?' She waits for an answer. A black hand flys past her ear. A second arms slams her head into the wall behind her. She falls to the ground.

'Give me your strength.' Scarlett begins to glow and and she separates into two beings.

'Needed me so soon?' Ghost appears before Scarlett.

'I'm not planning on fighting Ghost. I needed you to help me escape so I can help Marigold. Distract it for me!'

'Can do but you owe me! I won't be able to hold it long because of your already low Aura.' Ghost pulls out her whip and starts to thrash the beast. Scarlett runs after the two men. As soon as Scarlett gets far enough away for the Grimm to not notice her, Ghost fades away in a burst of light partially blinding the creature. Scarlett starts makes it to a hole in the sewer to some underground cave. There is dust everywhere all along sides. The cave sparkles with the fractals covering the ceiling.

'Wow this place is amazing!' She watches the two when make there way to a little bunker at the end of the cave. There are several guards lining the sides of the bunker. They have heavy weapons and equipment.

'I think things are going to be more interesting.' She jumps over one of the rocks she was taking shelter behind and yanks one of the guards with her whip and she knocks him out her fists. There are four guys remaining. She throws a rock to distract the guards. She sneaks around them and silences another guard. She jumps up above the bunker yanking another guard upwards knocking him out and laying him on top of the bunker. The last guy realizes that the noise was just a rock and makes his way back to the bunker and Scarlett is waiting for him. She punches him right in the face, and he falls to the ground, passing out.

'That takes care of that. Now what's all this really about?' She knocks on the bunker door. She gets no answer. She then opens the door revealing that there is a spiraling staircase downwards. She makes her way down to find another group of guards next to an elevator.

'It looks like I'm just getting started!' She charges at them at full speed, and she pulls out her whip she inserts an electric dust crystal into the whip and slaps the ground underneath the guards stunning them. She draws in her whip, revealing a lightning charged sword. She front flips over the first guard. Before he has time to react he has already be shocked by the sword from behind. The second guard starts to shoot his gun. Scarlett starts to run in a circle. The guard starts spraying his bullets everywhere nicking two of the other guards.

'What is wrong with you. You team killing piece of trash!' The shot guard falls to the ground. Scarlett flings her whip to knock the weapon out of his hand and knocks him out with her fist.

'Alright that went pretty well.' She hops in the elevator and presses down. Very catchy elevator music starts to play making Scarlett tap her foot. The elevator stops and the door opens revealing a familiar face.

'Hey wait I remember you. Your that Clyde guy right?' Clyde stands there not knowing what to do gets on the elevator.

'How do you know my name pretty lady?'

'You told me well not exactly but I overheard your boss slapping the crap out of you.' Clyde sighs with embarrassment and looks at Scarlett's red hair.

'Oh you saw that? Yeah he likes to slap me alot.'

'Aren't you tired of being slapped around?' Clyde looks at Scarlett with deep thought.

'You know I am tired of it.'

'Then I can help you with that but I'm going to need your help.' The elevator stops at the last floor. The door opens revealing a full room of guards and at the very end a large metal door with a giant lock on it. She sees the white suited guy open the metal door and walk in violently slamming it behind him.

'Alright Clyde I'm going to need you to help me get to your boss guy.' Clyde nods and he walks off the elevator.

'The boss man gave us a donut truck outside you guys should treat yourselves. All of the guards in a panicked frenzy load onto the elevator packed and cramped. As the doors close Scarlett smashes the controls so they cant come back in.

'Wow! I'm surprised that worked, now Clyde help me open the door.' Clyde moves over to the door prying it open. The man with white suit was waiting for her. Standing there aiming his weapon.

'So Clyde who's your new friend? Is she also snooping around? Come on Clyde do your thing and knock her out.' The man in the white suit walks out of the room and closes the door behind him.

'Well actually sir I don't like it when you slap me all the time and she was gonna help me so you wouldn't hurt me anymore.' Clyde looks at his boss with sincerity.

'You know Clyde your free to go. Leave Clyde.'

'Sir are you sure?'

'Yes I'm sure now go. Shoo shoo.' Ckyde turns around to leave and The man in the white suit aims and fires a single shot at the man. Clyde fell to the floor dead.

'Why did you do that?' Scarlett looks at Clyde's body with terror.

'To be honest that man had a lower IQ then how many good deeds that I have done in my life. Now then who are you supposed to be?' He looks at her red hair and done at her dress and frowns.

'What were you expecting more? Fine I'll give you more. I call upon your strength.' She starts to glow, and become to beings.

'Ooo this is very interesting.' The man looks at the two women with great curiosity.

'Is this enough?'

'Quite, yes I think you will be useful.' He pulls out his scroll and taps a couple buttons. Two turrets pop out from the corners from the roo. and nets shoot out capturing the two individuals.

'Why are you doing this to us.' Ghost starts to dissipate. He man walks up to Scarlett.

'Because you remind me of a little girl I like to call little red, however I'm not gonna kill you like I killed your friend Clyde because your useful.' He looks at her a moment and then stomps on her face knocking Scarlett out.
