"I'mlateI'mlateI'm laaaate...!" Yang excused herself as she ran through the crowds of people that were out on this sunny day, having to move back and forth between them to prevent running anyone over. Well, she wouldn't have been late if the train hadn't been stuck for over ten minutes! Or if there were fewer people out right now to get in her way. Oh well... Blake probably had a book with her, she would be alright. But between Ruby's and Weiss's disappearances... for some reason she had an odd feeling in her gut, as if something was going to happen to Blake. The thought only spurred her on more.
Disappearances, one may wonder? Yang's sister Ruby Rose, and later her team partner, Weiss Schnee, had both mysteriously disappeared with a few months of time between each other, without leaving behind the slightest trace. Up to a certain point, yes - their steps could be retraced. But then, it just cut off, as if they had volatilized. Ever since, Yang and Blake had spent every moment of their spare time searching for them - Yang herself had worked for a club owner in the shadier parts of Vale for months, doing his dirty work in exchange for his help. And even though his goons had come to no conclusion at all, Yang believed that they had done everything they could - Junior Xiong may not be the trustworthiest around, but he held his word if he gave it - and he knew better than to betray the girl that had single-handedly devastated his club before even starting with her training at Beacon, the school for Huntsmen and Huntresses. No, if they hadn't found any traces, there had to be something bigger involved here. But perhaps Blake would have some information.
Okay, there was the Café... now where was Blake? She eyed the tables and saw her friend just raising her hand to greet her, when a waitress behind her slid due to someone's napkin that had fallen on the ground, and hit her on the back of her head with a tray. She fell forward and out of her chair and... suddenly she was gone. "What...?" Yang blinked and came running closer as a horrible suspicion came up. The waitress had caught herself and was just looking around for Blake, and other people began to murmur. But, Blake was gone. She wasn't at or under the table, nowhere near it even, and if it had been one of her clones that got hit, or she had dodged it with her enormous speed, Yang would have been able to tell - she had fought alongside the faunus for a long time now, after all. She double- and triplechecked her surroundings, the nearby rooftops, she pinched herself... no, it wasn't a dream. Blake was gone.
Gone!
GONE!
The huntress screamed, closed her eyes and activated her Ember Celica and blasted herself into the air, cratering the ground behind her and flying up in a wide arc until she landed on the roof of the café. Another twin blast sent her to the house behind that, from where she leaped away over the rooftops, all the while screaming and with her eyes half-closed - but even that could not hold back her tears. Who was that who was so cruel as to take her friend away RIGHT BEFORE HER EYES?! Why had it got to be Blake?
“I KNOW you can hear me! She yelled, looking at the sky. Is this how you took my sister?! Is this how you took Weiss, too?! Are you having FUN taking my family and friends from me? Come on! Take me too, I'M RIGHT HERE!” But, nobody came to take her. She did not disappear. Her eyes, now a dark red, looked around for something, anything, to punch into next week. Her body was enveloped in a flame of pure energy as she began to run towards one of those little hut-shaped extensions that are built on a flat rooftop, with a door leading to a staircase that provides roof access. That hut was unfortunate enough to be the first thing to destroy. "DAMN THIS!" she screamed and backed up her fist while running towards it. Nothing but rubble would be left. NOTHING! ... was her rage so big that she began to see darker? Why was she feeling so tired suddenly? What was going...

"... and then I slipped, my tray hit her on the back of her head and she just... disappeared! The blonde girl then just screamed and used some sort of rocket launchers in her hands to blast the hole in the ground, and she disappeared too!"
"Nathan, what do you think of this?"
"I say it was some kid from Beacon. Probably pulled a prank. We'll send something to Professor Ozpin, see if he can keep his kids in check. Ma'am, the school will cover for the damages, and make sure to punish the students in question appropriately."
"Did you not find any trace of them?"
"Well, we traced one girl's steps to a nearby rooftop, and there's been eye-witnesses of her yelling something. But from there it goes cold. Kind of strange, as if she'd teleported or such, but that would have left an energy signature. She just... disappeared."

... on? She was falling through a place of darkness... no, floating. It felt odd, she could neither move nor speak, but she felt as awake as could be - she could even feel a cold breeze on her skin. Then, out of nowhere, a white man-shaped figure appeared, and though he was eyeless Yang could tell he was looking at her.
In Blake's arms, Yang opened her eyes sleepily, then from one moment to another darted to her feet with such force that she sent the poor faunus stumbling backwards, though she quickly caught herself. She looked around wide-eyed and with her hands twitching, but her Ember Celica weren't there - like most of her clothing, really. She was only wearing a normal T-Shirt and short trousers, not even boots or socks. Though of course, THAT was secondary. She looked around the Café, ignoring Blake at first, then turned her gaze towards her and darted over, grabbing her by her shoulders. It wasn't so much a hurtful grip, but it was firm - of someone who wouldn't let go. Then again, the real Blake could easily get Yang off of herself. "What sort of artifact did we pick up that Professor Ozpin put out for us when we made up the teams?" She asked, panting a bit from the sudden physical exertion and the adrenaline rush that came with it. Her eyes were wide and alert for any suspicious movements that her friend might make. For all she knew, this could be a single big setup from some Grimm gone rogue in Vale or something. Or Blake might not be Blake. She needed some sort of proof. If Blake replied correctly though, Yang would let her go and smile brightly in realization that this was, indeed, her friend and team partner.

Quote:”My name is Omni. This is not the world you know. This is the Omniverse. You interest me, so I have made you part of it. The Omniverse is a place that reflects the wishes of those who are part of it. But! There are rules. I will explain them only once, so listen carefully.”Not the world I know? The Omniverse? Yang thought. Her mind was racing, but she was given little time to do so when her body moved on its own to recieve a ball of rainbow-glowing matter of some sort, that the figure calling himself Omni was giving her.
Quote:“This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most."Omnilium? She felt oddly reminded of dust, or of atoms... this felt weirder though. Her hands moved on her own accord and stowed away the orb while Omni spoke on.
Quote:“You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn. That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.”Then he faded into darkness once more, but Yang wasn't able to move yet. However, in the back of her head she heard an off voice calling her name. Ruby...? Is that you? No... that wasn't her sister's voice, but a very familiar one nontheless.
